As soon as Zhou Qingfeng turned around, the wizards and priests who had been prepared immediately took action. "Stone Wall", "Fire Ball" and "Exorcism of Evil" were used to blast many spells in one breath.
The face reflected in the sea of ​​​​fire was hot, and normal people would avoid it. But the endless swarm of ants rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire. They screamed and gathered around without fear, gnawing at the stone wall blocking the road.
Justen and other priests used 'Expel Evil', but this could only stop a small number of acidophilic ants, and more ants followed one after another, stacking on top of each other. Just by the number of them, they could exceed the height of the stone wall, and they would flip over.
, continue to impact.
The impact of the mental gān rǎo qì completely angered the queen ant. It lost control of its mind and kept screaming at the humans in front of it, vowing to let everyone be buried with it.
There were too many ants, and the continuous spells only bought Zhou Qingfeng and others at least half a minute. Their original plan was to kill the queen ants. But regardless of whether she was killed or not, they had to flee immediately.
Because even if the queen is killed, the out-of-control acidophilic ants will attack all targets they can sense. Without the control of the queen, this species is irrational.
Zhou Qingfeng's attack failed, so he turned around and took the girl into the tunnel dug by the ants, and entered the cemetery area. He discussed with everyone and decided that the elf ruins deep underground were the only way to escape. Before the large-scale influx of ants,
, hurry in.
In just half a minute, everyone fled underground. The number of acidophilic ants that poured into the ground was only five to six hundred. Under the control of the queen, they were about to start a containment, but they were immediately attacked by 'Jiying'
''s breath of fire.
The men and horses of Cold Wind City also followed into the underground, and the leader of the Long-Legged City Lord was responsible for cutting off the back. He took out a high-level scroll of 'explosion technique' in his hand, aimed at the entrance of the passage that had not been dug for a long time, and forcibly bombarded it.
Thousands of acidophilic ants were pouring in from outside the passage, and were blasted into the sky by the 'explosion technique'. The blasted ant corpses flew up like raindrops, falling far and near within a range of nearly a hundred meters.
When the subsequent acidophilic ants came up again, the passage had been blown down. They wanted to dig it out for at least an hour or two. The queen ant lost traces of Zhou Qingfeng and others, and was so angry that she sent out a crazy mental shock, shaking hundreds of meters.
Targets within range will feel palpitations.
In a dangerous half minute, everyone was almost bitten to death by ants. Zhou Qingfeng endured the dizziness caused by the psychological shock and killed all the acid-loving ants that rushed towards him, and then he had time to observe the mystery.
The unpredictable underground space.
Without the number of acid-loving ants, even rookie soldiers can easily deal with them. Several wizard fires quickly lit up under the collapsed passage, floating illumination. Zhou Qingfeng released a large number of invisible servants from his body, allowing Sophia to control them to explore around.
.
The air underground was very turbid, with a strong earthy smell. The explosion technique just stirred up a lot of dust, making people unable to breathe. Everyone looked around, looking for a way to escape, and...
.., observe this famous elf city.
The wizard's fire illuminated the walkway paved on the ground. Next to the walkway were fallen flowers and plants. Every once in a while on the walkway, there would be a statue, a garden, or the remains of a fountain.
Most of the statues are based on the life of elves, including flowers, birds, insects, beasts, heroes and myths, with varied contents and exquisite carvings. But in this gloomy underground, the shaking of light and shadow gives people a great sense of weirdness.
Zhou Qingfeng looked back at the collapsed passage, "Those ants will come down again, we must find a way out of here."
There were more than thirty people on the Cold Wind City side, led by the city lord. They were even more curious about this underground space. The son of the city lord named Ma Buli asked curiously: "We have entered the ruins of Silver Leaf City.
?”
"Yes, this is the cemetery area." Zhou Qingfeng rode 'Quick Shadow' and took Xili with him, becoming everyone's guide. He led the way through several abandoned gardens and walkways to the central one
In front of the collapsed stone building.
"This is the temple of Sehanni Moonbow, the death priest in charge of the elves. You'd better not touch the things here. Those ants just moved around here, and they were cursed by the gods."
Zhou Qingfeng did not go near the collapsed church, but stayed far away. "Around here are the tombs of the previous city lords and high-level clergy of Silver Leaf City. The outer circle is the burial place of elven civilians.
It is said that the souls of these deceased people have gone to the gods they believe in. But the skeletons they left behind often become the favorite carriers of various ghosts. I advise you not to move."
Many people in Cold Wind City were greatly moved when they heard that the tombs of successive city lords and high-level clergy were located here. In the world of swords and magic, digging graves and robbing corpses is so common that it is even a specialized profession.
Zhou Qingfeng was too lazy to pay attention, and Xili was pointing the way in his arms, leading everyone around the cemetery area and heading towards the temple area. Their final destination was the ancient tree in the center of Silverleaf City, and it was safest to leave from there.
In the dark and gloomy underground, everyone was nervous and did not dare to go too far away from Zhou Qingfeng. But when the team arrived at the huge ancient elf tree without any obstacles, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The huge ancient tree is the backbone of the entire underground city. Its trunk is equivalent to a tall building, hundreds of meters high. Climb up along the intertwined rhizomes, and you can enter the hollow heart of the tree. From there, you can connect to the tree.
Above ground, get out of the dungeon.
The crown of this tree turns into camouflaged hills on the ground. Whenever the moon is full, the heart of the tree will open an exit, and you can climb out and see the sky.
This ancient tree is the only one in the entire underground city that is still alive. If acidophilic ants come close, it will wake up and fight. It is also the only relatively safe place in the underground city.
Zhou Qingfeng led the way to the ancient tree and explained how to leave. However, today was obviously not a full moon night. Everyone stood under the huge tree roots and marveled at the hugeness of the ancient tree, but could not leave for the time being.
"When is the full moon night?" Long-Legs City Lord stood up and asked.
Zhou Qingfeng shrugged, "Under the Iron Curtain, the sky is always gloomy. Those of you who live in the North all year round can't figure out the calendar, and I can't figure it out even more. If we are too unlucky, we may have to wait here for a month.
Wait until the moon is full."
The Northland has been away from the sun and moon for so long that ordinary people are afraid of forgetting what the sun and moon are. However, there are many wizards and priests in the team, and they need to be familiar with the calendar.
Justen, the plague priest, said: "The night of the full moon should come in three days."
Everyone looked at each other, a little troubled. Supposedly, everyone had arrived at Silver Leaf City and had gone deep into the center of the ruins. Everyone should be happy. But now they have no food or drink, and they have to face the acid-loving ants that are chasing them in. Can they survive three days?
Still a question.
After making his words clear, Zhou Qingfeng waited quietly under the ancient tree. The people on the Cold Wind City side whispered and quickly dispersed. Apparently they wanted to explore the ruins before the acid-loving ants gathered around them, looking for valuables.
's baby.
Even Justen and Mondino couldn't hold themselves back. After asking Zhou Qingfeng a few questions, they took their apprentices to try their luck. Only the boy, the maid, the dead horse, and the five unlucky soldiers were left behind.
And Adrian the clown.
"Why don't you go with them?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Adrian, "We have already entered the underground city. Although the elves evacuated the city as much as possible, there are still many good things left behind."
Adrian smiled shyly, "I think the benefits of following Mr. Hugo will be greater."
"Why?"
