Seeing Li Deyang's determination, Lin Qiye was startled. After pondering for a moment, he nodded.
After a few people were ready, they used the rope to descend and move down bit by bit along the vertical wall.
Although with their methods, there are many ways to get to the bottom of the crack, such as Baili Fat [Yao Guang] or Lin Qiye's poems, the situation at the bottom of the crack is still difficult for Lin Qiye and others.
It is a mystery. If you use the forbidden ruins rashly and in a big way, you may expose yourself and attract the siege of ants.
From the very beginning, Lin Qiye and others' target was only the queen ant. The 'mystery' of this kind of group is that as long as the core leader dies, the other descendants will naturally dissipate, so they try to avoid fighting with other giant ants.
, is the best strategy.
In order to prevent himself from being exposed, Lin Qiye also deliberately left the iron box containing the soldier ants on top. Otherwise, since it would always communicate with his companions, Lin Qiye and the others would be able to sneak in silently and there would be no ghosts.
After several people descended for a long time, Lin Qiye's mental power reached the bottom of the crack. He frowned slightly and raised his hand to make a gesture.
Everyone immediately stopped falling.
"What's wrong?" Baili Pangpang asked softly.
"There are worker ants down there."
"how many?"
"...There are them everywhere at the bottom of the entire crack." Lin Qiye's eyes swept across the deep bottom, with a solemn expression on his face. "A rough estimate is that there are at least four hundred of them."
"More than four hundred?!"
The expressions of the four people changed at the same time.
"How come there are so many?!" Cao Yuan said in confusion, "Even if a group from the 'sea' realm arrives mysteriously, the number cannot be so terrifying!"
"The initial arrival is indeed impossible." Lin Qiye sighed, "But don't forget, this crack has appeared for about two years..."
"You mean, they already arrived two years ago and are living in the cracks here?" Li Deyang's face turned pale.
"If nothing else, it should be like this." Lin Qiye nodded, "In the past two years, the queen ant has continued to reproduce new offspring. It is not surprising that they can accumulate such a terrifying number."
"And this is just what I perceive so far, the real amount will only be higher than this." Lin Qiye added.
Several people suddenly fell into silence.
A few of them can kill forty worker ants, but if they fight with more than four hundred worker ants from the "Sichuan" border, they have no chance of winning, not to mention that this is an extremely narrow crack, and they want to escape.
It is extremely difficult, and being buried in the belly of an ant is almost an inevitable outcome.
"If so many giant ants come out of the forest and sweep across the city, it is estimated that several nearby big cities will fall directly." Li Deyang frowned, "Unless a special team takes action, no team can stop them."
Li Deyang seemed to have thought of something and turned to Lin Qiye and said:
"There are so many giant ants, no matter how powerful you are, you can't handle them at all. We have already discovered the location of the ant nest. This time we should retreat back to the city and wait until the special team comes and let them deal with it."
Li Deyang's suggestion is very pertinent. No matter from any angle, the current situation is completely beyond the capabilities of Lin Qiye and the others. The best solution at the moment is to record the location of the ant nest and retreat.
If the army is annihilated, then the gain really outweighs the loss.
Lin Qiye and the others looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Let the special teams handle it?
They are a special team themselves!
We can't let them retreat like this, and then tell Ye Fan that we can't handle the problem here, and you can send a more reliable special team over...
After all, this is also the first mission of their team. If it ends in such a ridiculous way, who would be willing to do it?
"No, we won't go back." Lin Qiye shook his head, "As long as we avoid these worker ants and find the queen ant to decapitate, the probability of success is still very high."
Cao Yuan and others nodded in agreement.
"But the problem is, how do we confirm the location of the queen ant?" Anqingyu said in a deep voice, "The length of this crack is not short, and the field of view is very dark. The terrain is not convenient for us to thoroughly search here, and it is slightly
If you are not careful, you will be chased by more than 400 worker ants below..."
"I can become a worker ant, mix among these worker ants, and go to the bottom of the crack to search for the location of the queen." Lin Qiye said slowly.
"Qiye, are you sure?" Baili Pangpang couldn't help but say, "If you are discovered, you will be chased by hundreds of giant ants..."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Lin Qiye said calmly, "Just wait for me here and don't act rashly."
He took off the backpack on his back and took off the bulky cold-proof clothes on his body. He handed them all to Baili Pangpang to put them away. He was only wearing a thin black shirt and carried two straight knives behind his back.
He took off his abseil equipment, jumped gently from the side of the rock wall, and fell towards the bottom of the deep crack.
The other four people looked at his figure disappearing into the darkness, their eyes filled with worry.
As Lin Qiye continued to fall, a ray of magic flashed across his body, and the next moment he transformed into a red worker ant.
Lin Qiye has fought against these giant ants several times. At least seven or eight worker ants died in his hands. He knew them well. After transforming into worker ants, there is no flaw in appearance at all.
.
He crawled quickly along one side of the wall, and soon he could clearly see the situation at the bottom.
At the bottom of the narrow crack, one can see red worker ants crawling in neat rows one after another, moving in two opposite directions, surging like a tide. Just looking at it makes one's scalp numb.
At this moment, they saw another worker ant crawling down the side wall. Several of the worker ants were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't understand it. However, after confirming that it was their companion, they did not become suspicious and continued to follow the team in the original direction.
The worker ants transformed by Lin Qiye smoothly blended into one of the queues, imitating the movements of other worker ants and moving forward along the ant tide.
Now Lin Qiye himself doesn't know which direction the queen is, so he can only look for her in this direction first. If she doesn't find her, then look back in another direction.
Lin Qiye walked among the worker ants for about five minutes. The distance between the rock walls on both sides became narrower and narrower. Finally, at the end of the rift valley, he vaguely saw a huge white giant ant...
The giant white ant was bigger than any giant ant Lin Qiye had ever seen. It was nearly four meters tall. It was like a white hill. It was prostrate on the ground at the moment, as if it was in a deep sleep.
