When entering the ant nest, Qi Ying only felt that he had entered a large area of darkness. He took out a small piece of green fluorite from the space ring to illuminate the way forward.
The cave is deep and winding, with forked roads. As Qi Ying walked forward, he left some small marks on the cave wall that he could only identify, to remember the road so as not to encounter the road on one side of the maze when he came out. , unable to get out.
certainly.
As soon as they entered the ant nest, there were ice and fire ants rushing towards Qi Ying, the "intruder".
Ordinary monsters were almost no threat to Qi Ying. The only thing he was afraid of was their poisonous mist.
Therefore, Qi Ying hurried away to avoid fighting with the ice and fire ants.
Just hide in the cave. If the group of people chases them, they can use the narrow terrain of the cave to defeat them one by one. If they don't chase them, I don't believe they can wait outside the ant nest. There is always a chance to leave.
Just stay alive in a colony of ice and fire ants.
The worker ants of ice fire ants, which are about the size of mice, are not a real threat to Qi Ying. They can kick them open with a raised leg. The poisonous mist they release is blocked by a Qi shield to prevent them from entering the body.
Ice fire ants have low intelligence and will give up attacking as long as there are no threats around them.
simply put.
As long as you restrain your breath and move lightly, if you don't kill the ice fire ants and cause an ant colony riot, you will still be very safe in the ant nest.
call out! call out!
Soon, Qi Ying sneaked into the depths of the ant nest.
There were not even a few ice and fire ants here. Qi Ying hid in a corner and quietly recovered his energy.
"Where did those people come from?"
Qi Ying frowned.
When he first came to Qingxiao Courtyard, he had almost no conflicts with anyone.
If he was really an enemy, those who came to the school with him included Sun Changyu, whose brother he had killed, the Qin family who had sent experts to attack him, and the Chu family.
After much thought, the last option is the most likely!
Yesterday, I felt that it was strange that Jiang Yuanping suddenly cared about his whereabouts. Now that he thought about it, it would be easy for his mentor to check his origins, and it would not be difficult for his identity to be leaked.
And Jiang Yuanping happened to be a former servant of the Chu family. The Chu family also had a direct disciple Chu Bixue in Qingxiao courtyard...
The warriors who came to kill him were all disciples of Yuxiao Academy.
In all likelihood, they are the young force cultivated by the Chu family in the academy!
"Really, wherever you go, why bother following me..."
Qi Ying knew that she had formed a relationship with the Chu family, and there was no room for redemption. The situation was even more serious than the conflict with the Duan family at Tianhe Academy.
but.
Compared to the Duan family, the Chu family is even more of a behemoth!
Even the royal family has to be polite to the seven great families.
The royal family has declined, and the core strength of the entire kingdom is actually the seven major families, and the Chu family happens to be the top family among them.
Qi, Qin, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han.
This is roughly the ranking order.
The ancestor of the Qi family was Qi Xun, the first contributor to the founding of the Yunxiao Kingdom. He even served as regent of the Yunxiao Kingdom for ten years, and continues to this day, still ranking first among the seven great families.
The Qin family was originally just a small aristocratic family. Later, due to the emergence of some powerful men who defied the heavens, the Qin family gradually rose in status and ranked second among the seven major aristocratic families.
The Chu family was also a large family that prospered since the founding of the country, but it used to be in the peripheral states and only settled in the royal capital a hundred years ago.
The Yan family is the guardian family of the royal family and has close ties with the royal family. However, it is also the weakest family among the seven aristocratic families. It can be maintained among the seven aristocratic families solely because of its special status.
Zhao, Wei, and Han are families that have appeared one after another in the kingdom's thousand-year history. They live together among the seven major families. Their strength is not bad, but their overall status is lower than the previous four.
Each one is related to the fundamental power of the kingdom.
Not to mention Qi Ying, even if someone from other big families killed Chu Kaolie, the Chu family would not hold back their anger.
"what?"
Qi Ying was thinking about things about the seven aristocratic families when he suddenly felt pain in his back and subconsciously slapped it away with his palm.
Snapped!
A thing was smashed to pieces by a palm.
Qi Ying looked at his right hand and his expression changed instantly.
On his right hand was the remains of a fire ant, still bleeding with pus, and a deep purple mist emerged from the remains.
"Ant poison!"
Qi Ying quickly activated the Qi shield, but a considerable part of the ant poison had already entered his body.
Good thing.
A single ice fire ant has limited toxicity. For a Qi Martial Realm warrior who can use his true energy to suppress toxins, as long as he inhales the toxins of dozens of ice fire ants at once, there will not be much danger.
Qi Ying quickly mobilized his true energy to suppress the toxins that had entered his blood.
However.
"This feeling… "
Qi Ying was slightly startled.
When the ant poison entered his body, he did not feel the paralysis of poisoning.
Quite the opposite.
Qi Ying's body seemed to have a burning current - looking inside, he found that after the purple ant poison entered the blood, it was immediately decomposed by the gray-colored blood and turned into pure energy!
"I'm not afraid of ant poison?!"
Qi Ying couldn't help but be stunned.
It seems... I have never been poisoned since I was a child.
Even if you were stung by a wasp as a child, the big bumps on your body would dissipate in a short period of time. Once bitten by a snake, there seemed to be no signs of poisoning.
At this moment.
Swish, swish, swish!
Amidst a burst of noise, more than a dozen ice fire ants appeared in front of Qi Ying.
"Oops!"
I accidentally killed an ice fire ant just now. The smell of death filled the ant nest and directly attracted the attention of a large number of ice fire ants.
Qi Ying launched an air palm to fly away the ice and fire ants in front of him. At the same time, he turned around and left quickly to prevent more ice and fire ants from coming to attack him.
As a result, I just ran out.
Click!
There is a slimy feeling underfoot.
"What the hell, you're so damned good, do you have to be trampled to death by me?"
Qi Ying scolded the ice fire ant that was trampled to death.
At this time, more and more ice fire ants have gathered around.
The entire cave passage was filled with the rustling sound of ice fire ants rubbing against the sand and gravel as they walked.
Qi Ying left quickly, trampling on a few more ice and fire ants along the way.
The smell of dead ice fire ants has locked Qi Ying.
Ice fire ants ran quickly one after another, attacking the intruders in the cave, spraying out streams of purple mist, releasing their most lethal toxins.
Qi Ying held up the Qi shield, but the toxins had a corrosive effect on the Qi shield.
Soon, a large amount of poisonous mist passed through the Zhenqi shield and was inhaled by Qi Ying.
At this time.
Qi Yingcai finally decided.
Ant poison really doesn’t work on you!
Not only does it not work, it also turns into energy and is absorbed by your body—of course most of it goes to your left hand.
A large amount of poisonous mist was inhaled by Qi Ying. Not only did it not cause him any negative effects such as paralysis, dizziness, hallucinations, etc., it actually greatly increased the energy storage in Qi Ying's body.
