Chapter 20: Anthill (Part )
As the military magician had agreed before
The wind mage Lao Bi was leading the way, the water mage and the earth mage were at the front of the team, and Zhu Zhou and another earth mage followed the team.
The group chose a hole in the anthill with the least vines to enter.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking inside is a deep darkness, which can easily make people feel fear of darkness and the unknown. Coupled with the cold wind blowing out of the cave, goose bumps can't help but cover the whole body.
“Fuck, this is a bit scary.”
“This cave looks bottomless.”
The students in the top class were talking about the cave in front of them, and their words revealed that they didn't want to go down.
"Stop talking nonsense. This is a training session and everyone has to go down. Unless someone wants to get C!" Captain Zhuzhou said.
"Let's go in together. People from the lighting department, turn on the light bulbs!" Bao Ben started to perform as soon as he saw that everyone was going in.
The students of the Department of Light complained one after another.
However, their initial skill nickname is indeed "mobile light bulb".
The students of the Light Department used their abilities to illuminate the rocky cave, but deeper inside it was still pitch darkness, which made people's heartbeats inexplicably accelerate.
"The wind type should walk in front of the team. You have the wind track skill, so you can evacuate immediately if you encounter any situation." Zhu Zhou said
The people from the Wind Department who were in the magic department didn't say much. Lao Bi, Leng Ci and others had already walked ahead.
The roads in the ant nest are interconnected. Jiang Shang and his group continued to go deeper into the ant nest following the marks left by the wind mage in front of them.
The overall structure of an anthill is divided into one layer above ground and four layers underground.
The passages on the ground are mainly for the bloody red ants, which are used for the ants to pass through and reserve, and serve as strategic fortresses during combat!
The external signs on the ant nest are all covered with thick excrement, which is the material in the red ants' saliva. This material is also the building material used by red ants to build ant nests and ant tunnels. This material can effectively prevent the attacks of other monsters, and it also has good waterproof performance. The same level of water monsters cannot be completely filled without magic three or two times! Therefore, this material is also one of the better choices for many cities on the coastline to build fortifications.
The underground nest is mainly divided into the hatching room, royal room, food storage room, etc. The royal room is located in the center of the entire nest.
The purpose of Jiang Shang and his team's trip was to check whether there were any remaining bloody red ants in the incubation room.
For species like the bloody red ants, as long as there are two ants in a colony, they can autonomously mutate into new queen and king ants after absorbing enough energy.
Therefore, every year the Yuncheng military spends a lot of energy to clean up the bloody red ants.
This time, the ant nest is one of the targets of the sweep.
As a target that had been cleared, the military also prepared a red ant egg and placed it in the incubator, specifically for this training.
…………
"There are so many vines in this cave," complained the girls in the team.
Under the illumination of the light mage, the cave passage was covered with many vines, extending from under their feet to the depths of the cave.
"This is strange, how could there be vines in this anthill?"
Jiang Shang looked at this phenomenon with confusion.
But he still kept one thing in mind. No matter how he looked at it, an anthill underground should not have vines.
Their footsteps echoed in the quiet anthill passage.
Soon, Jiang Shang and his companions came out of the passage, and what came into their eyes was a huge underground kingdom!
The air is densely populated with pillars of various sizes, one end of the pillars is connected to the underground and the other end is in the soil layer above the head. It seems that these pillars not only serve as passages, but also serve as support for the entire ant nest.
Everyone was shocked for a moment when they saw the scene in front of them!
This was their first time to go deep into the demon's lair. Before seeing it with their own eyes, no one could have imagined that it would be so amazing.
The military wizard at the side was shocked at the sight and then he calmed down. He then began to be alert to the surroundings, with the magic in the spiritual universe ready to be unleashed at any time.
Jiang Shang also quickly recovered from his shock.
This is the first time I have come to the territory of demons after traveling through time, and I have truly seen everything about demons.
This didn't seem like the scenes he had read in books in his previous life, which were merely descriptions in words. It was like the bloody reality was placed before him!
This is not the peaceful past life, but a magical world where demons are eyeing it covetously.
The only thing he could rely on was the magic in his hands! The Antarctic Changsheng Emperor in the spiritual universe gave him an infinite sense of security.
"Fortunately, I was given some benefits when I was thrown here. Without a system and talent, I can only rely on thunder magic," Jiang Shang sighed secretly.
After everyone came to their senses, the team continued to move forward.
The target this time is the hatchery located below the royal family. The hatchery is the second most important position in the ant nest after the royal family, and its location is closely attached to the royal family.
It was surrounded by a thick barrier, with only two entrances and exits. One led directly to the royal room, and the other was in the storage room.
Jiang Shang and his men chose to enter through the royal palace in the center of the ant nest.
Under the illumination of the light department students who spared no effort along the way, Jiang Shang and his group finally arrived at the royal palace.
The royal family is so large that it occupies a quarter of the size of the entire ant nest.
After Jiang Shang and his companions came in, they found that the entire royal house was filled with traces of various magics. Not only could they see traces of earth, but there were also black scorch marks in some places, and they didn't know whether they were left by lightning or fire attacks.
In the center of the royal room, there are traces of earth magicians using ground waves, and the soil there is in the shape of waves or whirlpools. There are also some vines hanging next to it, which looks like the masterpiece of a plant magician!
"It seems that the battle was very fierce at that time!" Jiang Shang exclaimed.
"Yes, last time, in order to exterminate the bloody red ants, even Commander Nan Cheng was dispatched! There were no less than ten intermediate magicians present..." Zhu Zhou said.
The top students were listening to Zhu Zhou talking about the last encirclement and suppression.
But Lao Bi ran out from the passage connecting to the incubator!
Behind him, dark green vines were flying
"Be careful, there is a Blood Chain Demon Tree here, it is in the advanced stage!" Lao Bi shouted loudly. There were many bloodstains on his body, and some were still bleeding.
After hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Zhuzhou reacted and threw a fire stick at the cane behind Lao Bi? Shaoshao threw it over to save him.
When Lao Bi flashed to their side, Zhu Zhou pulled him aside and asked, "Are you sure? He is really in the advanced stage!"
"Absolutely not. This guy is two or three meters taller than an ordinary magic tree, and there are bloody red ants lying under it!"
"what!"
Zhuzhou and his companions did not avoid the students in their discussion. They also learned from the military magician's conversation that there was an advanced demon in the incubation room!
"What should we do? We are not going to die here, are we?"
"Why don't we retreat and let the intermediate wizard come and deal with it?"
"I want to go home, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Under the pressure of the demon, some students burst into tears (д;).
Jiang Shang was very calm at this time. He didn't know why, but he was very excited and wanted to fight with the Blood Chain Demon Tree. He didn't know if it was because he had already mastered the primary lightning magic.
"Captain Zhu, how far has this demon tree advanced? Is it complete? If it has already reached the level of a general, let's retreat quickly. Our lives are at stake!
If it is still at the slave level, we may be able to deal with it!" Jiang Shang walked over and said to the military magicians in Zhuzhou.
"The general hasn't arrived, definitely not, otherwise I would have died in there." Lao Bi replied affirmatively after hearing this.
After hearing the answer, Jiang Shang also looked at Zhu Zhou. After all, he was the captain of this team and the decision-making power was still in his hands.
"This one……"
"Captain Zhu, my Thunder Seal has reached level three!" Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Shang spoke directly.
!!!
Hearing his words, everyone looked at Jiang Shang in shock.
"Really level three?"
"Yes"
"In that case, let's go in and fight this demon." Zhu Zhou finally made this decision.
