After leaving the battle circle, Xiao Zhi moved forward all the way.
Although there should be a lot of experience in dealing with the soldiers and ants, but the bugs and quicksand are too troublesome, plus an assassin, what if I accidentally burp? His current life is very precious.
The road in the ant's nest was long and winding, and there were often similar-looking forks. After walking for a while, a new area appeared in front of Xiao Zhi again.
There is a mottled mural on the wall in front of it. The figure in the painting is very familiar. It is the Queen Dana who was mentioned in the forum before.
In this mural, she is holding a square object in both hands, and there are kneeling figures in front of her. There are strands of lines converging from the heads of the people on the ground to the stone slab in Dana's hand, and finally into Dana's forehead .
It looked like something had been sucked out of their minds and absorbed by Dana through what was in her hands.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhi finally remembered the reason why he felt familiar with the word "Dana". He had seen this name in the materials about treasures.
But Xiao Zhi is familiar with the square thing in her hand - the Memory Slate.
The most famous secret treasure in the hands of Queen Dana is the Memory Slate, which is said to be able to evoke the deepest memory in the heart, and no one has privacy in front of her.
She often uses this to spy on her enemies, and then gain insight into the opponent's weaknesses. Coupled with her own control ability, she can always easily defeat the enemy.
What is depicted on the mural should be the picture of Queen Dana acquiring other people's memories through the memory tablet.
Since this is Dana's tomb, there is a high possibility that the tablet of memories will appear here too
Xiao Zhi is not very interested in reminiscing about the slate, he prefers the joy of being positive rather than prying into other people's secrets.
But once this news spreads, there will definitely be more people flocking here from the mainland. After all, not everyone is keen on fighting. There are not many guys on the mainland who want to know the enemy's weakness. They will definitely not let go of the artifact like the Memory Slate.
"rustle-"
Xiao Zhi suddenly heard a strange voice coming from above his head.
He looked up and found that the ceiling above his head was densely packed with ants!
These ant-humans all look female, their bodies are not as strong as soldier ants, but they are much more flexible, and only half of their faces are covered by carapaces, and they can see human-like jaws.
They are worker ants, responsible for building the nest, collecting food, serving the queen and caring for the young in the ant colony. Most of the worker ants of the Ant-Man tribe can use poison to attack, and they like to appear in groups, which is a very troublesome existence.
They didn't make any sound before, and their dead bodies couldn't breathe anymore, so Xiao Zhi didn't notice their existence at all.
What kind of experience is it like to be surrounded by young ladies
At this moment Xiao Zhi only felt his heart beating a little faster, but it was just out of fright.
He really couldn't bear the fact that a group of young ladies who had died long ago were hanging upside down in this posture.
Xiao Zhi moved quietly, trying to leave here without making a sound.
But as soon as he made a movement, the worker ants on the ceiling all turned their heads towards him. Their eyes were covered by carapaces, making it difficult for people to see clearly, but Xiao Zhi felt the cold gaze as if it had substance.
Xiao Zhi took a step back, and they turned a little towards Xiao Zhi, their movements were uniform, but it seemed even more weird.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Obviously, this is the rhythm that will not let him go.
The next moment, as if they had received a unified order, the worker ants on the ceiling all fell down, and after landing, they rushed towards Xiao Zhi's direction.
When they are not moving, the worker ants look a bit demure, but once they start chasing them, their movements are very ferocious. They wave their sharp claws and rush towards Xiao Zhi frantically.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi threw a flaming thorn towards the area where they were, and after slightly hindering their actions, he embarked on the journey of running away again.
While running, Xiao Zhi also took the opportunity to throw his skills back, but there were too many worker ants. Although his experience increased rapidly, the team behind him hardly changed.
After running for a while, Xiao Zhi realized that it would be a bloody waste to race against something that was already dead. They won't get tired, but as a weak and crispy little mage, he can't support such a lot of exercise!
Xiao Zhi led the young lady and sister army around in the ant's nest, but he still couldn't get rid of them.
A narrow gap suddenly appeared in front of it. It seemed that years of aging had caused a piece of the wall to peel off, and a room could be vaguely seen inside.
Judging from the appearance alone, it looks a bit like the legendary... dog hole.
Xiao Zhi looked at the "dog hole" in front of him, and slipped in very smoothly without any hesitation. The real chopping cubs would never refuse a dog hole. It is not shameful to go into a dog hole, but it is really shameful to be beaten to death.
After Xiao Zhi got in, he found some gravel nearby to block the hole. To be on the safe side, he reluctantly used the camouflage technique.
The casting of the camouflage technique was really annoying. After a long time of grinding, I finally finished casting the spell before the sound of clicking footsteps appeared.
The worker ants came near the area where Xiao Zhi disappeared. Death had greatly reduced their judgment and perception, but now they felt that Xiao Zhi had disappeared out of thin air.
Xiao Zhi stood motionless on the spot, pretending to be dead, and the dense footsteps lingered nearby for a long time before slowly dissipating.
After the voice completely disappeared, Xiao Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only now did he have time to look at the room he was in. The whole room was empty, except for a table in the middle, on which was placed a clear fiery red gemstone, and a flame could be vaguely seen burning inside.
Is this the place where the treasure was accidentally entered
Xiao Zhi looked at the description of the item, and it was no surprise that it was "???", and there was also a "Appraisal Requirement: Appraisal Technique above Grandmaster Level".
Xiao Zhi still remembered that Mr. Huo Lun, the appraiser, said that "the ore that needs to be appraised by a master or above is of top quality." This shows that this gem is definitely not ordinary.
"Abusa Yanjing, the appearance is really good!"
Suddenly a voice came from Xiao Zhi's shoulder.
Xiao Zhi was startled, and quickly turned his head to look, and found that it turned out to be a little lion with two legs upright. The little lion looked translucent, and he didn't know when it appeared on his shoulder.
He was also wearing a baggy old man's vest that the old man loved most.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
This taste is very unique.
Seeing Xiao Zhi looking at him, the little lion thumped his dry little chest at him: "Hi, boss, I'm big and strong."
From the gesture of greeting and the style of naming, Xiao Zhi knows that it probably has something to do with the orcs, although this little lion has nothing to do with "big" or "strong".
Xiao Zhi was a little puzzled: "... Hello, what does the boss mean?"
Da Zhuang Zhuang nodded mysteriously: "You have earned my allegiance."
Xiao Zhi: "When did it happen, why don't I know?"
Da Zhuang Zhuang flew in front of him: "You have inherited the weapon of Master Balu, and now you are my new master!"
Xiao Zhi thought about the weapons he had acquired recently, and waved his hand to put the pile of broken copper and metal that he had harvested when he accepted the challenge in the Changyue Desert on the ground, just like collecting waste.
He asked Da Zhuangzhuang: "Which one is it?"
Da Zhuang Zhuang flew around the broken pieces on the ground, and finally pointed to A Qiang's hammer, which seemed to have fallen apart.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Is Master Baru strong at this level? How does this thing look like a masterpiece
I'm afraid this guy isn't a Xiyue Clan pretending to be. Teague's business scope is so spread out...
Seeing that he didn't believe it, he became impatient. He threw himself on the tattered sledgehammer, with tears in his eyes: "This is the weapon that the master loved most in his life. It took 10 years to build it, because he used it himself. The master did not design the appearance."
"This hammer handle was not made by the master. The original one has rotted, but this is not a problem. The master himself often breaks the hammer handle. Just replace it with a new one."
"Master usually uses it for blacksmithing, smashing walls, digging holes, cooking, and even as a pillow when sleeping..."
He pointed to a notch on the sledgehammer: "Look, there are marks from the master grinding his teeth while sleeping."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
The master's mouth is really good, but I always feel that the painting style of Master Baruch is slightly different from the master he imagined...
Xiao Zhi: "Although what you said is very logical, can you prove it?"
After wiping his tears, Da Zhuang Zhuang couldn't help but scratched his butt again, his action was very old man-like: "I saw you are using Soul Chaser, I can help you finish it, I should be the only one in this world It can be done."
Xiao Zhi was a little skeptical: "Really?"
Da Zhuangzhuang patted his chest: "Back then, I watched the master build it bit by bit, and listened to his complete plan. Later, I followed him to find materials! It was during the process of finding materials... Master talent… "
As he spoke, his eye sockets couldn't help turning red again.
Xiao Zhi: "Are you okay?"
Da Zhuangzhuang showed a look of reminiscence: "It was a rainy day, and it rained heavily in the desert, and many beautiful mushrooms grew in the cave where we rested. The master picked the most beautiful one and ate it. go down..."
"His last words were 'Toxic...'"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
I sincerely suggest that the orcs should strengthen their basic cultural education, otherwise the loss of talents will be too bad.
Da Zhuangzhuang: "Then I have been lost in the cave, and was picked up recently."
Da Zhuangzhuang sighed: "Oh, that Hanhan who picked me up before, every time I talked to him, he suspected that he didn't sleep well at night, and then went to sleep, ignoring my existence..."
Xiao Zhi couldn't help asking: "Then what are you? A sword spirit or something like that?"
"Hammer Soul." Da Zhuang Zhuang wiped away his tears, and did not forget to praise himself: "A precious treasure that can only appear in weapons that have been used for many years."
He looked at Xiao Zhi, and said pitifully, "I've been in that crappy place for a hundred years, boss, just accept me, I can make weapons, and I can also help you identify various materials. Teachers are definitely not as good as me."
"And I only work and don't eat, which is economical and cute."
Xiao Zhi thought about it for a while, except that he was doubtful about being cute, in other respects he was not only not losing money, he was actually earning blood, he nodded: "Okay."
"Yohoo!" Da Zhuangzhuang was immediately happy, and he flew up and turned around several times before stopping his movement. He pointed to the gemstone on the stage: "Boss, let's collect the Absa Yanjing first, this is Balu In the plan of the powerful master, one of the materials for upgrading the soul chaser."
Xiao Zhi took back the tattered weapons on the ground, and then carefully stepped forward to put away the flaming spar. The acquisition process was unexpectedly smooth, and there were no tricks or traps, which made him feel a subtle sense of unease.
His uneasiness was fulfilled in the next second, Xiao Zhi felt that his feet were empty, and he fell straight down.

Frost was advancing in the ant's nest. Although he was separated from the undead knights he led after entering, with his combat power, neither the soldier ants nor the other people who entered could threaten him.
His goal is the memory tablet in the main tomb. According to the clues he got before, Dana brought the memory tablet into the grave directly after her death.
This news has not spread in the mainland yet, but he knows that it won't be long before the whole continent will know. At that time... Those guys from Blaise will definitely come and snatch it no matter the cost.
He had to move quickly, and he must not let them get the memory tablet.
At the same time, Frost is also looking forward to, maybe the memory tablet can awaken his scattered and broken memories.
Swinging his sword and beheading the heads of two gatekeepers, Frost finally reached the main tomb. This place is more gorgeous and exquisite than other places, even the door panels are inlaid with jewels and gold, a scene of extravagance.
He stretched out his hand and opened the door. The main tomb room was very large, like a large square.
Facing the gate is the extremely tall statue of Dana, she looks down from a high position, even if her life has passed away, she is still proud and supreme here.
The huge and exquisite golden coffin was placed on a high platform, surrounded by circles of small coffins, and a variety of funerary objects were placed on the walls.
According to the customs of the Ant-Human tribe, her male ants are buried in the circle closest to the queen, and the worker ants in the outer circle are arranged according to rank. They guard the queen ant, making her as honorable after death as she was in life.
As for the low-level worker ants responsible for manufacturing and the soldier ants guarding the ant nest, they are not qualified to be buried with them at all. They can only wander in the tomb all the time, driving out intruders for the queen.
Sensing the intrusion of a strange atmosphere, the coffins buried with them began to tremble continuously, making "click" and "click" sounds, as if threatening the intruder to leave as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the queen's deep sleep.
Frost was not afraid of this, he clenched his sword and stepped into the main tomb.

"Boom—"
Xiao Zhi suddenly fell to the ground, and the high-speed fall nearly knocked him to the west. He quickly took out the red medicine and drank it vigorously, only to save his own life.
"Huh..." Xiao Zhi let out a long breath.
"Boss, are you okay? I almost thought my boss was going to disappear again..." Da Zhuangzhuang poked his head out and looked at Xiao Zhi worriedly.
Xiao Zhi looked at it slowly, he just accepted this little brother, and he almost hiccupped within a few minutes, this guy can't be bad, right
Da Zhuangzhuang sensed the bad atmosphere called unemployment crisis, he quickly scanned around, trying to find something to distract Xiao Zhi's attention.
"Ah! Boss, look!" Da Zhuangzhuang pointed forward, "This must be the escape route for the funerals!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhi finally shifted his attention away from the question of whether he was strong or not, and began to look at his own position.
This is a very random passageway, the passageway is very narrow, full of gravel and clods, it looks a bit out of place with the entire ant nest, revealing a taste of cutting corners.
There are still some bones around, which makes it look gloomy.
Da Zhuangzhuang said: "Even the strict rules of the Ant-Man tribe, there will be those who are not willing to be buried with the dead. They will quietly prepare such a passage for themselves, so that they can escape after the tomb is closed."
Xiao Zhi looked at the front thoughtfully: "So, the front must lead to the place where they were buried together - the main tomb."
The author has something to say: Xiao Zhi: We will meet again in another six hundred years~ Send it to the tomb~ Bury it all in a pile~ Your pile~ My pile~ No one knows anyone~ All buried in the ground as flower fertilizer ~
Arsen: ...
