?In the wild forest behind the mountain.

"There shouldn't be many people coming to the back mountain during this period, right?" Yuan Shu asked as he walked.

"There is no one. I thought it was just like in the book, there would be some old uncle who chops wood." Ting Xin said disappointedly.

Yuan Shu smiled, if there really was an old uncle who chopped firewood, he would be an old uncle with muscles all over his body and could punch a child with one punch.

Ordinary people don't dare to go into the wild forest alone. If they encounter any unfriendly divine creatures, it will be over.

Moreover, every household in China is now connected to gas, and there is no need to go to the mountains to chop firewood. It is not worth losing one's life just for some firewood.

Therefore, once encountering such an old uncle in the wild, Yuan Shu would immediately suspect that he was some kind of high-level beast master.

Maybe what he wants to chop is not firewood, but divine source material.

"A few days ago, there were a few kids who said they wanted to come in for a big adventure. I used my mental charm to scare them. I guess they won't dare to come here anymore," Ting Xin said proudly.

You must know that the roots of the trees in the courtyard also cover many areas of the wild forest, and they know the dangers in the wild forest best.

Even wild wolves in the mountains will pop out from time to time, and it is still quite dangerous to enter the forest during the current period of frequent animal tides.

"Good job." Yuan Shu gave Ting Xin a thumbs up.

"hey-hey……"

After walking for a while, Yuanshu finally came to the rock wall.

At this time, the ants coming in and out of the cave entrance formed two queues against the wall.

Perhaps the queen ant still remembered Yuanshu's instructions, or maybe she was afraid of burning the forest. The ant army had already put out the dead fire on its body, revealing its obsidian-like shell.

After sensing Yuanshu's arrival, the queen controlled the ants and hissed a few words to Yuanshu, which seemed to be a greeting.

Yuanshu nodded towards the ant army and walked into the cave.

When he walked through the long passage to the underground space, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Seeing the changed secret base, Yuan Shu almost couldn't recognize it.

Looking from near to far, the first thing that catches the eye is the road arranged by the ant colony in the middle. These roads extend in all directions and divide the spiritual field into a standard square.

When Yuanshu turned his attention to the crops on the spiritual field, he was surprised to find that some crops such as corn had grown to two or three meters high.

Under the Queen's careful classification, many different types of crops were planted in the spiritual fields in different areas.

For example, the divine plant that Yuanshu valued most was placed in the middle of the space near the spiritual spring by the ant queen.

On the right side of the middle road, some common divine plants and vegetables are planted.

Under the careful care of the ant colony, the cabbage grows very juicy, and the crystal green leaves seem to be able to pinch water directly.

On the left side of the road are some fruit trees and fruit vines planted by ant colonies.

The fruit trees were planted for a short period of time and could not bear fruit, but in just over a month, they have already grown into small trees.

This is mainly due to the skills of the source emerald and Ting Xin. The source emerald speeds up the growth of plants, and the nourishment of the earth provides enough aura for the plants.

Of course, careful greetings from the ant colony are also indispensable. According to Yuanshu's observation, this group of ants not only water the crops, but also fertilize.

Plants that have absorbed sufficient nutrients will naturally grow taller.

On the left side of the spiritual field, there is the nest of the ant colony. The queen ant directed the ant colony to penetrate the rock and dig out many tunnels and spaces, which were used for food storage, nurturing offspring and resting chambers.

In order to allow Yuanshu to come in, the queen ant specifically ordered the queen to make the tunnel and space larger, so if Yuanshu wanted to enter, there would be no problem.

Due to the hard work of the ant colony, the space of the secret base has also expanded a lot. Many places have been eaten away by the ant colony, leaving only a few rock pillars for support.

Therefore, even if the spirit field occupies most of the secret base, the entire underground space will not appear crowded and narrow.

Yuanshu began to suspect that as long as the ants were given enough time, it was not impossible for them to create an underground city underground.

"Ting Xin, your little brother did a good job."

He originally thought that the layout of the secret base before was very good, but compared with now, it pales into insignificance.

"Hehe, I originally wanted to ask you to come over and have a look, but I didn't say anything because I saw you were practicing."

"Why didn't I see Gray Boy and the others?" Yuan Shu asked in confusion.

"Grayboy should be in the queen's nest, and Xiaobai and Brown Sugar should be in the training room opened by the ants now."

"Is there a training room?" Hearing this, Yuan Shu suddenly became interested.

"Queen Ant, please take me to the training room."

A few dead fire ants moved their tentacles, abandoned the cut green leaves in their hands, and left the transport team.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu quickly followed.

After a while, he followed the ants to a corner of the underground space, where there was a staircase going down.

"You have also opened up a second level of underground space?" Yuanshu asked.

The ant controlled by the queen nodded, and then the queen transmitted the words through Ting Xin's spiritual link.

"Boss Xiaobai and the others requested it, but the second floor is not under the spiritual field, so there is no need to worry about it affecting the spiritual field."

Yuan Shu nodded and suddenly asked: "What is Gray Boy doing over there?"

"Oh, Gray Child boss said that he feels very comfortable around me, so he often comes to my place to sleep."

"But don't worry, boss, my belly is soft. Gray Boy will definitely feel comfortable lying down on it."

"The gray boy would actually take the initiative to get close to a creature with the aura of the dead... Could it be that her spiritual sense is about to recover..." Yuan Shu thought for a moment and said to the queen: "Then let her sleep for a while, I will first

Go see what Xiaobai and Brown Tang are doing."

After saying that, Yuan Shu walked towards the bottom of the stairs.

When he was halfway there, Xiaobai's screams started to sound, and he sounded a little excited.

Curious, Yuan Shu immediately quickened his pace and walked forward.

"Xiaobai, you..."

Yuan Shu was about to call Xiao Bai, but when he saw Xiao Bai's appearance, he was stunned for a moment.

I saw Xiaobai in the form of a salamander, wearing a black mist armor, with four claws leaping quickly through the space. The speed was so fast that he only left a trail of black mist and afterimages in the air.

"Grass!"

However, this was not over yet. Xiaobai, who was flying in the air, suddenly twisted his body in a weird posture and fell to the ground forcefully.

Immediately afterwards, countless shadow tentacles suddenly stretched out from the shadow armor, whipping the stone wall continuously.

Suddenly, stone chips flew from the stone wall, and the stones fell on Xiao Bai's body, making a metallic clang sound.

It's not over yet!

Xiao Bai shook his head, and the shadows on his body began to mix together, forming several slender shadow spears.

"This is a spear?!"
