C3826 The Ant Queen's Trail
Although she found the person, Dongfang Qingyu did not announce it. The distance between the Earth Elementalist and them was rather awkward, so it was at the zero point of the attack range of the'Spiritual Transformation Light'.
Due to the fact that the earth had a very strong weakening effect on one's skills underground, Dongfang Qingyu did not have full confidence in being able to lure the Earth Elementalist over. Thus, she decided to put on a show with Small Pudding Guoguo to lure the Earth Elementalist over.
The Earth Elemental's physical defect was what the Earth Elemental cared about the most. Therefore, Dongfang Qingyu deliberately used his defect to provoke the Earth Elemental with ease.
At a close distance, no matter how strong the Earth Stalker was, he would not be able to resist the Divine Transformation Light. Dongfang Qingyu's method was a little unruly, but the Earth Stalker was an enemy. To deal with an enemy, one had to use any means necessary. There was no need to follow the rules.
Small Pudding Guoguo understood what Dongfang Qingyu meant, but she still couldn't say anything about the Earth Wielder's height. He was kind by nature and could not do anything. Because of her lack of cooperation, she was worried that she would fail, but the Earth Wielder was not calm.
This meant that the Earth Wielder was very inferior to others, so he cared a lot about what others said and did not dare to face his own flaws directly.
Dongfang Qingyu was a little unhappy that she did not get any benefits from the earth walker. She curled her lips and summoned ten pangolins to speed up the excavation. Then, she went to look for trouble with the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant Soldier Ant.
The Earth Wielder had died twice, so perhaps it wouldn't be able to knock him off the ranking of experts, but it had already caused serious damage to his strength. The next time, even if he wanted to find trouble with him, it wouldn't be so easy. From this aspect, it was of great significance.
Since the earth walker had died twice under the 'God Transforming Light', one thing could be said. The earth walker didn't have any tools that could automatically revive him. At the same time, it meant that the earth walker didn't join any gang. The tools that could automatically revive him were usually in the hands of the big gangs.
The Earth walker had become famous way too late, and his background was still too shallow. Otherwise, the second death could be avoided. Dongfang Qingyu walked through the dark tunnel, thinking about what kind of environment she would face the earth traveller for the third time.
Although there would be a magic crystal lamp inserted at a certain distance, because he had been moving forward, his body blocked the light. As he walked, the light changed indeterminately.
Guo Chao's hunting method was very effective. After walking for such a long time, he had only met dozens of Scarlet Flame, Green Gold Mud Ball Ants, and Soldier Ants.
Based on the geography, they had already gone more than three hundred meters deep into the ground. Finally, they encountered a large group of Scarlet Flame Green Mire Ants and Dongfang Qingyu and Darling Kiss Pig attacked with all their might. The two sides fought for half an hour and eliminated the group of more than twenty thousand Scarlet Flame Green Mire Ants and Soldier Ants.
"There's something strange about this place!"
Dongfang Qingyu's eyes were fixed on the passage that the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Pill Ants came in, and suddenly she heard Small Pudding Guoguo discover something behind her. He turned around and saw a big hole in the mud wall at first glance. Adults could drill into it, but through the hole, there was a rather large karst cave-like space behind it. The crystal magic lamp could not completely light up the entire space, which meant that this space was very big.
At the second glance, he saw a lot of eggshell-like fragments on the ground in the karst cave. They were very thin and small. His heart was moved, and he stepped back. He stuck his head into the big hole and looked at it for a few seconds. Then he shrank back, threw a magic crystal lamp into the hole, and went in.
On the floor, the densely packed eggshells of the ant eggs had all hatched. Not a single complete egg could be seen. They were layered on top of each other, and it was unknown how thick they were.
The space in the karst cave was comparable to a football field, and a crystal magic lamp could not illuminate the entire area. Dongfang Qingyu took a step forward, and the shells of the ant eggs were crushed, making a cracking sound.
"Is this the nest of the Flaming Green Mud Ball Ants?" Small Pudding Guoguo had also followed her in. This was also the first time she had seen such a scene, so she remained silent for a long time.
Standing inside, people seemed so small that their ant shells were like stars that could easily submerge them.
"So it should be!" Dongfang Qingyu retracted the vertical eye between his brows. In the karst cave, there were no longer any living Scarlet Flame Green Golden Mire Ant Soldiers. There were quite a few corpses, but they did not seem like they were injured or dead. There were no injuries on their bodies, so they should have expired.
The rest of the Scarlet Flame Green Golden Mud Ball Ants did not see it either. This place should have been where the important people of the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants lived. The Ant Queen was most likely the most likely one, but now that the ant had left the cave, there was nothing left.
"Ants rarely change their nests under normal circumstances. They only do this when they meet with danger. The Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants didn't move because of us, right?" Small Pudding Guoguo asked.
"No!" Dongfang Qingyu crouched down, picked up a piece of the shell, and caressed it for a long time. Judging from the traces at the scene, this cave had been abandoned for a period of time, no less than three months.
Three months ago, the Scarlet Flame Green Golden Mud Ball Ant was the main attacker and they were the passive one. They didn't have the power to threaten the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant at all. The Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant didn't need to move its nest.
"That's good news. If we search carefully, we should be able to find some clues," Small Pudding Guoguo said.
"You go look around first. I'll put away these egg shells," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"What's the use?" Small Pudding Guoguo was stunned. Ants eggs could be eaten, but these incubated shells were no different from egg shells. They couldn't be eaten, right?
"Fertilizer... these can be used as fertilizers... natural fertilizer." Dongfang Qingyu was in a good mood. These egg shells, whether placed in the Treasure Secret Realm or the Field Space, could bring about an explosive growth of plants.
There was so much natural fertilizer that even money couldn't buy.
"With so many occupations, I still have the advantage." Small Pudding Guoguo did not come into contact with farmers, so she did not know the value of the egg shells. If it was her, she would only scan the egg shell for a moment and would not think about whether or not it would be useful. She believed that in the eyes of many players, it would be the same.
Dongfang Qingyu was different, he could see the value of the egg shell at a glance, because he was a farmer and a God-level farmer! There were too many layers of Scarlet Flame Green Golden Mud Ball Ants on the ground. They were more than three meters thick. No wonder there were so many Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants on the ground that they couldn't be killed. From so many egg shells, one could roughly estimate the number of Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants on the ground.
It took Dongfang Qingyu 1.5 hours to collect the eggshells. At first, he was very excited, but in the end, he only worked mechanically.
"Did you find any traces?" The karst cave had indeed been abandoned. For more than an hour, not a single Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant had appeared. No matter if it was a worker ant or a soldier ant, they did not even look at it, which meant that they had given up completely.
"I can't tell." Small Pudding Guoguo shook her head. The cave was surrounded by densely-packed passageways that extended in all directions. There were traces of ants crawling through each passageway, and there were large and small passageways. She could not tell which passageway the ant queen had left from.
"It doesn't matter. I have a way," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"What can you do?" Small Pudding Guoguo subconsciously looked up and saw that there were also a lot of tunnels above her.
"Agroup Resurrection Arts!"
Dongfang Qingyu had revived 20,000 rodents in one breath. With an order, the rodents entered all the passages. The small passages were one rodent, the bigger ones were two, the bigger ones were three, the biggest ones were five, and they filled up as many passages as possible.
"I forgot that you're not alone," Small Pudding Guoguo said.
"They're not human," Dongfang Qingyu emphasized.
"There are still many tunnels above us," Small Pudding Guoguo reminded.
"The tunnels above our heads are basically impossible. The Ant Queen will only hide further down and can't go up." Dongfang Qingyu was very sure.
"The tunnel is curved." As soon as Small Pudding Guoguo finished speaking, Dongfang Qingyu's expression changed.
"What's wrong?" Small Pudding Guoguo looked at him nervously.
"There's a fork," Dongfang Qingyu said with an unpleasant expression.
"A fork in the tunnel?" Small Pudding Guoguo was a little confused.
"The rodent advanced about 20 meters before a fork appeared in 20% of the tunnel," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Don't you have enough rodents?" Small Pudding Goguo understood that the end of the tunnel was next to the karst cave, with only one entrance. However, as they went deeper into the other direction, there would be changes in the tunnel. There could be two forks, three forks, four or five normal forks, and more than a dozen. Since they had entered the underground world, they had seen this kind of situation a lot before.
"Not enough!" Dongfang Qingyu shook her head with a bitter smile. 20,000 pets was not a small number no matter where they were placed. However, in the face of the tunnel dug by the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant, it was child's play.
However, after advancing for less than 100 meters, the tunnel entrance had already exceeded 20,000.
"Then what should we do?" Small Pudding Guoguo knew that Dongfang Qingyu's pet's limit was 20,000.
"Let's try our luck first." Dongfang Qingyu was at a loss for what to do. There were still 20,000 Blade Mountain King Kongs, but they were too big to enter.
Around the fifth minute, the rodent started to die. It met the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant. The rodent was very good at dealing with the roots of plants, but when it came to dealing with the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ant, it was even worse than meeting a mouse. It would die the moment it touched it.
Ten minutes later, there were only 2674 rodents left. The other rodents were all killed by the Scarlet Flame Green Mud Ball Ants.
"It seems that this method won't work. However, it doesn't matter. At least we know that we won't be far from the Ant Queen," Small Pudding Guoguo comforted.
"I still need to think of another way." Dongfang Qingyu did not care about the rest of the rodents anymore. After all, the living rodents had encountered a new fork in the road, so he could not care about them anymore.
"Rest for a while and eat something." Small Pudding Guoguo took out some delicious food.
"It would be great if I had a map." Dongfang Qingyu knocked on her head and took out a mat, placing it on the ground. Sitting down and eating was much more comfortable than standing.
