On the large keychain in Xingyue's hand, one of the crystals was like a fluorescent stick, trembling and looking for direction.
It looks like a compass needle.
This scene, in the eyes of others, is magical.
Special and auxiliary abilities are rarer than combat abilities. This is the first time the captain has seen those who need to borrow equipment.
His confidence in finding the queen finally increased from 0% to 1%.
That fluorescent rod... the crystal finally gradually stabilized, but defied gravity and pointed at one of the forks in front of it.
Tang Yu did not hesitate and stepped into the cave entrance.
They kept traveling at the speed of an ordinary person's trot, which was not fast. However, every one or two minutes, they would encounter forks. Some roads were divided into two, and some were divided into five, six, seven, eight and N...
This maze was even larger and more irregular than the mazes encountered in the secret realm. After all, it was dug by demonized black ants. Tang Yu's brain circuit was not on the same frequency as the black ants.
Fortunately, Xingyue has "path-finding skills".
Every time he encounters a fork, the glow stick will always change direction and point very clearly to one of the holes.
Everyone can feel that the altitude is decreasing as they advance.
The captain and others who followed in showed even more excitement.
suddenly,
A rustling sound came.
The captain was experienced and immediately shouted, "Be careful, a black ant swarm is coming. Judging from the sound, they will meet us in about fifteen seconds."
The searchlight shone forward and soon saw dense swarms of black ants swarming in.
The captain and others all looked solemn, "Although these black ants are weak, their mouthparts are highly poisonous. You must be careful not to be approached by them. Also, be careful not to damage the surrounding environment when fighting, otherwise this underground cave may collapse. In fact, if there is a way to find the queen ant, my suggestion is to go back and call for reinforcements—"
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
A dazzling orange-red fire rose throughout the dark cave. This fire light came from the long sword wrapped in flames.
The next moment, the long sword was swung out violently, like a rain of fire.
The entire cave turned red in an instant, forming a ring of fire that burned from near to far.
Tang Yu dispersed the flames attached to the long sword, held up a sword flower, put away the long sword, and patted the non-existent dust on his body as if nothing had happened.
"Ah Yu, you...aren't you a person with architectural abilities? What is this flame?" The cousin was already stammering and speechless.
"If there are no regulations on the architecture department, you can't set fire." Tang Yu shrugged and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you-"
The cousin looked happy.
Just heard,
"But you can't learn."
Cousin: "..."
Heartbroken.
Against demonized black ants that are individually weak but numerous in number, ordinary awakened ones are of little use. They can't kill even a few of them at once with their swords. The captain and other soldiers also brought special flamethrowers. , but the killing efficiency is obviously not comparable to Tang Yu.
Along the way, he encountered several waves of black ants, which became Tang Yu's personal show.
He has never been so happy since receiving the inheritance.
Crazy output against the black ants, so exciting!
…
…
After twists and turns, twists and turns, and twists and turns,
The glow stick trembled again.
Xingyue glanced down, with some solemnity and excitement, "We are close to the queen ant."
Ahead, there is a breeze blowing.
Everyone quickened their pace, and after walking for a while, they suddenly stopped and stared ahead in stunned silence.
This is a huge underground space, not completely dark. There are some strange green crystals on the rock wall, which are shimmering. If you observe carefully, you can also see some larger black ants, waving their legs and inserting these crystals into them. Dig out the green crystals on the stone wall and carry them downwards.
On the surrounding rock walls, there were holes dug by black ants, some were large or small, and the location they were in was one of them.
From their perspective, these green dots were converging towards the same place from all directions.
These demonized black ants are organized!
Tang Yu was also a little surprised.
Except for the extraordinary demonized beast he saw in Maple Leaf Town, he has never seen any demonized beast that has the ability to command and control other demonized beasts, even if it is affected by the giant tree in the source crystal mine pit. , those demonized beasts that have wisdom enabled do not have the ability to command other demonized beasts.
Tang Yu didn't think that the unseen queen ant possesses extraordinary strength. This may be a unique characteristic of insects. Even after being demonized, it still retains its original hierarchy and its terrifying reproductive ability.
More difficult to deal with than ordinary demonized beasts.
He looked along the direction where the green dots gathered. Finally, at the end of the underground space, he saw a monster that was larger than a large truck. The monster had a huge abdomen, a black body with brown markings, and short antennae. The thorax is small and there are no wings.
"That's the queen ant!" Xingyue said, confirming Tang Yu's guess.
The captain and other soldiers were even more excited, but also a little worried, "The queen ant is so huge, I'm afraid she's not weak. There are also those black ants around us. I'm afraid we can't deal with them—"
He looked at Tang Yu.
Obviously he understood that among the other party's group, Tang Yu was the one who made the decision. Along the way, he was also convinced of Tang Yu's strength.
At this time,
hiss!
A sharp cry came, the sound seemed to be able to penetrate people's eardrums.
Some of the weaker awakened ones, like my cousin, couldn't help but cover their ears tightly, feeling their heads swell.
This sharp sound seemed to be a signal. After hearing the sound, the surrounding demonized black ants, whether patrolling or being transported, quickly moved towards the location of Tang Yu and others.
The caves on the surrounding rock walls were filled with countless black ants, densely packed.
Chopstick-sized, backpack-sized, suitcase-sized, and even motorcycle-sized…
These black ant armies,
It was as if a huge black curtain was coming towards them from all directions, hooding their heads.
Even the well-trained captain and other soldiers looked pale, and their hands holding the flamethrower couldn't stop trembling.
Such a large number of black ants, with no end in sight at a glance, how can they be eliminated? Even the young man who can emit flames can burn to death a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand black ants. But what about hundreds of thousands or millions
He looked towards the passage from which he came.
Right now, this is the only hope.
However, the next moment, the captain's face turned even paler. With his rich experience, he had already judged that there were countless black ants swarming in the passage behind them.
them,
Already completely surrounded.
Tang Yu did not release his signature flaming sword, and seemed to have given up resistance.
I saw,
He glanced around and sighed helplessly.
"It seems that it is impossible to clear out all the minions before fighting the BOSS... Elaine, I leave it to you, freeze them all."
