Chapter 145 That’s an Ant Nest
"Well, wait a minute, girl. I'll give you something!" Drowning took out a tear-shaped crystal.
"What is this?" Ling Qingge asked doubtfully while looking at the crystal in her hand.
"Heart of Tears! This is the name I gave it. This is the tears that Xiao Luo flowed into my body back then. It was nurtured in my Drowning Heart for thousands of years and condensed my spirit. You are a water-ice attribute, which is very good for you. Take it and take me to feel the warmth of the world." Drowning's eyes were full of yearning.
Ling Qingge hung the Heart of Tears on her chest. It actually automatically merged into Ling Qingge's body. Ling Qingge suddenly felt that her cultivation had increased greatly and she had broken through to the peak of the Controlling Qi Realm. What a great opportunity! She actually broke through.
"Okay, you can go over. Now Drowning has merged with you. You are not afraid of it at all!" Drowning said.
"But where are my friends?" Ling Qingge looked back at Lin Chen and others.
"You can take them there by yourself. Your spells will not be swallowed by drowning." Ling Qingge suddenly realized and condensed an ice path for Lin Chen and others to pass through.
Saying goodbye to drowning, Lin Chen and others continued to walk deeper into the cave.
The terrain in the cave was getting lower and lower, and it was getting more and more humid, with water constantly seeping out from all around.
"Looking at the current terrain, we are probably below the river valley." Chu Junyang is worthy of being a geological expert. He can guess the environment of the location at a glance.
Suddenly, the terrain of the cave became lower, and a group of people had to lower their heads to move forward.
"Wow, what the hell, it actually bit me, don't you want to live?" Ling Tiannan yelled and slapped his neck, and then caught something about the size of a cicada mantis, "Oh my god, what the hell is this!" Ling Tiannan threw the thing on the ground and stepped on it to death, and it actually splashed a lot of blood. It seems that Ling Tiannan's blood was not less sucked by this guy.
"Wait!" Chu Junyang patted Ling Tiannan's foot, and Ling Tiannan moved his foot away. Chu Junyang took the flashlight and shone it, and took the thing out of the soil and put it under the flashlight to observe carefully.
"Chu Junyang, what is this thing? It looks a bit like an ant, but the head is too big. It's not an ant king or something like that!" Everyone looked at Chu Junyang in confusion. Intuition told them that Chu Junyang knew this thing.
"Well, it's an ant, but not an ordinary ant, but a special ant species living in South America, the ant eater." Chu Junyang lowered his head and pondered. How could this South American species live here, but no one could give him an answer.
"South America, ant eater? What's the connection?" The group of people became even more confused.
"The ant eater is a species unique to South America. As for why it appears here, I don't know. The general ant eater is about one centimeter in size. Obviously, this one is big enough. The ant eater is extremely rare and is not distributed all over the world like other ants. However, the ant eater has a very scary characteristic. The food eaten by the ant eater during the egg-laying period can pass on the characteristics of the food to the offspring, but the general food of the ant eater is mainly flying ants. If there are no flying ants, it will also devour insects smaller than itself."
"Is there really such a thing? It's incredible!" Huang Hao's eyes widened.
"Hey, Chu Junyang, do you think I will be fine after being bitten?" Ling Tiannan looked at Chu Junyang nervously.
"Don't worry, it's no big deal."
"Wow, look here, there are still some, this one has wings." Ling Qingge shouted.
Lin Chen and others picked up the flashlight and shone it on the rock wall. My God, the rock wall was full of ant eaters. The number was terrifying. Is it really not as small as Chu Junyang said? The ant colony began to surge under the light and actually crawled towards Lin Chen and others.
"Ling Qingge, use water, use water, ants are afraid of water!" Chu Junyang shouted. Sure enough, the ants avoided the water as soon as they touched it. Ling Qingge condensed a water ball to wrap everyone and ran inside. After the narrow corridor, there was another stone chamber. The stone chamber was not particularly large, only a few dozen square meters, and there were rocks everywhere.
"That's an ant nest. There may be a queen ant here." Chu Junyang looked around carefully. He wanted to find the location of the queen ant.
"Oh my!" Chu Junyang took a breath of cold air. This is too big. There was a half-man-high ant laying eggs in a pile of rocks. This was probably the queen ant. Occasionally, there were worker ants bringing food to it. There were things like bats and pangolins in the food.
It would be a disaster if it went out so big! Think about it. This ant is first of all a carnivore, and its offspring will have the characteristics of these foods. If it eats lions and tigers, wouldn't it be terrible? Or if it eats humans, then humans will inevitably have a catastrophe. Such guys must be eliminated.
The queen ant is currently laying eggs. There are hundreds of ostrich-sized eggs around. How big will they be when they hatch?
Lin Chen and others walked towards the queen ant. Suddenly, there were sparse sounds coming from all around. They were the ants guarding the cave entrance. This was a problem.
"Crack!" The sound of the eggshells breaking. Another batch of ants were born. They looked like they had completely lost their original appearance. Instead, they had all kinds of strange appearances. Some had bat wings on their backs, some had pangolin shells, and some looked like mice.
"Oh my god, what the hell are these?" Huang Hao shouted in surprise.
"The evolved species of ant-eaters, this is the terror of ant-eaters. They can directly inherit all the good characteristics of food. Their evolution speed is the fastest, but their life span is also the shortest. A queen like this only has one month. During the growth period, it will lay three batches of eggs and a king ant and then die. "Chu Junyang once saw the material of ant-eating.
So have some understanding.
The queen ant's tentacles moved a few times as if giving some order, and then all the ant-eaters gathered around Lin Chen and others. Lin Chen released spiritual energy to wrap around everyone, and the ant-eaters did not dare to approach.
"Ah!" Suddenly Lin Chen and others covered their ears and screamed. The condensed spiritual energy collapsed instantly, and the ants rushed towards Lin Chen and others quickly.
Was that ultrasound just now? It should be, it must be emitted by those bat-like ants. These guys are really scary, they can even use ultrasound.
Lin Chen fired several fireballs to burn the Ant Eater in front to death, but he still couldn't stop the Ant Eater from continuing to move forward.
"Still Water Cage!" Ling Qingge condensed a hollow water ball to enclose everyone in the middle. The sound of the ultrasonic waves was reduced a lot.
Suddenly, a large amount of spiritual energy hit the water polo. Lin Chen and others were surprised that someone was attacking them. When they looked closely, they were frightened.
"Oh my goodness, what did these guys eat? They can actually use magic." Lin Chen was also frightened. He saw a large number of fireballs, waterballs and other things spraying out of their mouths. Things were getting worse and worse!
"Run away!" Leizeboten shouted before everyone reacted and ran towards the hole on the left.
"Seal!" Leizeboten quickly drew a formation seal at the entrance of the cave, temporarily sealing the entrance.
