At this time, Ye Li was already several hundred meters underground, and Ye Li did not have many opportunities to go down so deep underground.
The underground worlds he had visited before were all close to lava, so the magma seemed extremely vigorous.
But this area is a little different. Even at a depth of several hundred meters underground, there is still no trace of underground fire or magma.
Ye Li had always thought that there must be magma and underground fire deep underground, but now he realized that underground fire and magma may not exist deep underground.
Only in places with abundant fire spiritual energy can underground fire and magma appear.
Ye Li looked around and found that there were several cave passages around the cave hall. Ye Li sensed for a while and found that the concentration of earth-based spiritual energy emitted from these passages was still not much different.
It seemed that these underground caves should all lead to deep underground, so he did not choose one deliberately. He just found a cave passage and walked in.
Each of these cave passages is relatively wide and quite long. Ye Li spent a long time wandering around in the cave passages.
The channels are irregular in shape, winding and flat in some places and steeply dropping in others.
Ye Li went deeper underground along the cave passage. After walking about several dozen meters underground, the gravity on his body increased by another level.
At this moment, Ye Li felt that the gravity on his body had reached the level of the Deification Stage, which means that the gravity around him was equivalent to constantly launching a Deification Stage attack on him.
Of course, for Ye Li, this kind of attack has no effect at all. It is just like carrying a small burden on an ordinary person.
But for ordinary talisman masters, this effect is extremely powerful.
Ordinary defensive talismans cannot completely offset this force. That is to say, unless one masters the method of controlling gravity, as long as one comes here, even with a defensive talisman, the ordinary talisman master will still be affected by a certain degree of gravity oppression.
If the talisman master's physical strength is only around the descent stage, then even if he is wearing a defensive talisman, he will still be under great pressure, and walking will not be easy, and his body flexibility will be greatly affected.
While walking, Ye Li suddenly heard a series of rustling sounds coming from not far ahead, and it sounded like a group of things were walking back and forth.
Judging from the sound, Ye Li felt that there might be some insect-like monsters in front of the cave passage.
Because from the sound of their footsteps, these things have quite a few legs, and the sound is completely different from that of ordinary four-legged monsters walking.
Ye Li is considered to be a man of rich experience in the martial arts world. He has killed many monsters and can judge the general situation of some monsters by hearing alone.
Knowing that there are monsters ahead, Ye Li dare not take it lightly. Most of the monsters that can live in this area with extremely rich earth-based spiritual energy are not simple.
After all, the richer the spiritual energy, the more treasure it is for all monsters, so naturally there will be fights.
The result of the fight is naturally that the strong survive, so the monsters that survive are naturally high-level monsters.
After carefully moving forward for a distance, I found that the cave passage had indeed reached its end.
Ye Li walked to the exit of the cave passage and looked out. A huge cave hall appeared in front of him.
The cave hall was crawling everywhere with huge ant-shaped monsters that were earth-yellow in color and about the size of tigers.
These giant ant-shaped monsters exude a rich earth-based spiritual energy, and each one has reached the realm of a talisman god.
At the same time, in the center of the cave hall, there is an extremely huge ant monster nest that resembles a pagoda.
Of course, this nest definitely cannot accommodate all the ant monsters. Ye Li can see from afar that the monsters living in the pagoda are all ant monsters in the late stage of Talisman Saint.
Ye Li could vaguely see a huge monster that was several times the size of an ordinary ant monster hiding in a tower-like monster nest.
This monster exudes the aura of an early stage Talisman Saint. It is obvious that this monster may be like a queen ant.
Ye Li happened to know these monsters. They were rare earth-dwelling social monsters called giant overlord ants.
The giant king ant is an extremely powerful monster, and its habit of living in groups gives it extremely powerful fighting capabilities.
This kind of monster is one that most talisman masters are unwilling to provoke, and it is a very difficult monster to deal with.
However, the strength of these monsters is much weaker than Ye Li. Even if they live in groups, they are not enough to scare Ye Li away.
Ye Li could feel the fluctuations of earth-based spiritual energy coming from the giant Tyrant Ant's nest in the middle. After observing the terrain briefly, Ye Li discovered that the giant Tyrant Ant's nest seemed to be built above a cave passage.
Ye Li was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and then he reacted. It was obvious that these giant king ants were very smart. They knew to build their nests in places with the most abundant spiritual energy.
Most of the earth-based spiritual energy coming from underground overflows from the cave passages. The nest covers the cave entrance, which will naturally gather a large amount of earth-based spiritual energy, forming a special environment that is more suitable for these monsters to practice.
Ye Li, who was observing the surrounding ant colonies, did not realize for a moment that half of his body had already entered the cave.
Because these giant ants live deep underground, they are basically blind, but they can sense light and can "see" things around them through some special means.
Ye Li stretched his body into the cave hall, but before he could react, the ants noticed his presence.
The ant colony suddenly let out a roar and then rushed towards Ye Li.
Ye Li was not too worried about the sudden attack of the ant colony. After all, he was strong and naturally full of confidence.
The secret method of body casting was still condensed on him in an instant, and with a flick of his fingers, his golden sword of talisman appeared beside him.
Three hundred and sixty sword lights flashed, and Ye Li placed the Zhoutian Sword Formation in the cave hall in front. As the sword lights flashed, the golden light turned into poisonous snakes, biting towards the ant colony.
In an instant, more than twenty giant king ants were killed instantly. Although their armor was strong, it could not withstand the attack of Ye Li's sword.
Just as Ye Li was about to control the golden sword to launch a second round of attack, a strange roar came from the giant king ant's nest in the distance.
In an instant, the eyes of all the giant Tyrant Ants around them turned red, and the earth-based spiritual energy around their bodies quickly condensed and directly transformed into groups of earth-based space forces, covering the entire ant colony. (To be continued)
