"Tell me first what you want me to do for you." Gu Zheng said calmly.
"Help me kill my old enemy."
Through the intention conveyed by the queen ant, Gu Zheng understood that this seemingly straight cave can actually lead to two places. Among these two places, one is the exit, and the other is another straight cave. In that cave
Inside, there lives a kind of lava beetle, which is the old enemy of the queen ant family.
Queen ants are very productive, and their tribe is originally very numerous, but lava beetles will come here to kill members of the queen's tribe after a while, so the number of ants in the ant colony will never increase, and the lava beetles will
The beetles are just like keeping the queen ant family in captivity like domestic animals.
According to the queen ant's intention, it would first open the passage to the cave where the lava beetle is located for Gu Zheng, and after Gu Zheng brought the head of the lava beetle king to see it, it would then open the passage out of here.
Gu Zheng was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Do you think I should help you kill the Lava Beetle King according to your request? Or should I kill you directly to improve my own strength?"
"Of course you follow my request and help me kill the Lava Beetle King! If you don't follow my request and you can't leave this place on your own, you will be trapped and die here!" the ant queen said anxiously.
"Why do you think I can only leave this place if I rely on you?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Because you are an entrant, it is my mission to give you such a choice." The Queen Ant said.
If he goes by Gu Zheng's true thoughts, he is naturally unwilling to listen to the ant queen. No matter how much the ant queen can improve his strength, what's more, because of his special feeling, he cannot let Xuan Yue show up easily. He has no spiritual mind.
He could not search the soul of the queen ant to verify whether what she said was true or false. However, the queen knew that he was the entrant, which made him decide to follow the queen's instructions step by step. If the queen
What he said was true, and if he killed the queen ant just for that little bit of cultivation, he would really regret it.
"Okay, then open the passage to where your old enemy is!" Gu Zheng said.
The queen ant's belly began to shrink, and after some contraction, it sprayed corrosive liquid from its mouth. After the liquid fell on the cave wall, a hole immediately appeared on the cave wall, and you could see through the hole.
Yes, there is indeed another cave on the other side.
"Go ahead, this hole will not be closed until you come back."
After the queen ant conveyed its intention, Gu Zheng jumped into the hole corroded by it.
The environment in the new cave was very similar to the cave where the ant queen was. After Gu Zheng walked forward for a while, Xuan Yue couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's going on?"
Xuan Yue naturally had no way of knowing what the Queen Ant conveyed to Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng had communicated with the Queen Ant, and Xuan Yue could still guess some of the reasons from what he said.
Facing Xuan Yue's inquiry, Gu Zheng told Xuan Yue what the Queen Ant said. Xuan Yue also understood that Gu Zheng had no choice, but she still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Master, do you think the queen ant will trick us into this cave in order to survive? After we go deep into the cave, it will seal the entrance and trap us here? After all, there was no such thing before.
The entrance exists, and since it can open such an entrance, it presumably has the ability to seal the entrance." Xuan Yue analyzed.
"Don't worry about this. I didn't know the structure of the cave before, but now I have some understanding of the structure of the cave. Even if it seals the entrance, I can still open it again."
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Xuan Yue said nothing more.
After just a few minutes of walking, there was another rustling sound in front of me, which made people think of the situation when they entered the ant hole before.
Appearing in front of the ancient battle were some red lava beetles, numbering about a hundred or so. These beetles were as big as round tables, with a single horn that looked like a burning flame growing from the top of their heads.
The lava beetle did not give Gu Zheng any sense of threat, and from the intentions conveyed to Gu Zheng by the ant queen, he had also understood that although the lava beetle was more powerful than the basilisk, it was not too powerful, so
He felt that these lava beetles could be easily killed by him! But it was a pity that these lava beetles did not have their own energy that he could draw from them.
The lava beetles were the first to launch an attack on Gu Zheng. The horns on their heads flashed with light, and red light balls flew towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's body dragged out an afterimage in the spacious cave. He was not in a hurry to get closer to the lava beetle. He wanted to test the power of the lava beetle's attack first, so he let some red light balls fall on him.
.
Lava beetles are fire monsters, but the light balls they emit also carry light damage. It is this light damage that makes Gu Zheng a little uncomfortable. As for the essential fire damage, Gu Zheng completely ignores it.
.
Now that he had seen the power of the lava beetle's attack, Gu Zheng completely let go of his hands and feet. The original energy turned into a flaming blade in his hands, and he rushed towards the lava beetle.
The flame blade drew lines in the air, and the hard shell of the lava beetle was cut off by the flame blade like melons and vegetables. In just a moment, the original hundred or ten lava beetles were killed by Gu Zheng
Everything was clean, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
After getting rid of hundreds of lava beetles, there was nothing gained from the ancient struggle. He continued to move forward without stopping at the same place.
This was still a cave with no forks. Gu Zheng did not encounter any more trouble along the way. The result was the same as the previous ant hole. Gu Zheng saw another hundred or so even bigger ants at the bottom of the cave.
The huge lava beetle, and the lava beetle king he wants to take his head back with.
The Lava Beetle King is similar to the Queen Ant in one thing, that is, it also has a head that looks very human-like. When it saw Gu Zheng, a flash of fear flashed through its eyes.
Looking at the head of the Lava Beetle King, Gu Zheng slowly said: "Can you also communicate with me?"
There is no other reason why Gu Zheng would ask this, that is, in the same cave, there is a very similar human head. There is no reason why the ant queen has the ability to communicate with him, but the lava beetle king does not.
"How do you know?"
Sure enough, the lava beetle king's slightly surprised voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"I see, it seems you came from the ant hole! You must have met the queen ant, and she must have asked you to kill me, right?"
Before Gu Zheng could speak, the voice of the Lava Beetle King sounded in Gu Zheng's mind again.
"Since you are so sure, why bother asking again?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Enter, you can't kill me! If you kill me, you will never be able to leave here again. The queen ant will let you do this, just to give you a back-up!" said the king of the lava beetle.
"Listen to your tone, can I leave this place without killing you?" Gu Zheng asked.
"That's right! If you don't kill me, I will open a passage for you to leave here!" the Lava Beetle King said seriously.
"Okay! Then I won't kill you. Just open the passage out of here for me now!" Gu Zheng said.
"No, I can't trust you unless you swear!" King Lava Beetle said.
It wasn't his own body. Gu Zheng originally wanted to blurt out the oath, but his heart moved at this moment. The control of the immortal-level space artifact gave him a special feeling at this time.
The ability to control immortal-level space artifacts is a very special kind of power. In the past space world, it was precisely because Gu Zheng had the control over immortal-level space artifacts that he was able to save the day from danger many times. Just like
Now, if there is no early warning about the control power of the fairy-level space weapon, then he will swear to the Lava Beetle King. In his opinion, it is nothing to swear with his current body. However, the fairy-level space weapon
However, his control gave him a dangerous warning, which meant that he could not utter this oath casually. If he swore this oath, it would probably lead to extremely troublesome consequences.
"No? Do you have a choice? Now you can either open a way out of here for me, or die in my hands!" Gu Zheng raised the flaming blade in his hand.
"If you don't swear, I won't open the passage for you even if I die!" the Lava Beetle King said firmly.
"In that case, you can go die!"
Gu Zheng said nothing more and immediately brandished the flame blade to attack the lava beetles.
"Want me to die? It's not that easy!"
The Lava Beetle King roared, and the vibration of its wings produced a strange wave. This wave was not a sonic attack, but under the influence of this wave, more than two handfuls of Lava Beetles at the bottom of the cave all shook.
It took off its wings.
Under the influence of the Lava Beetle King, the lava beetles vibrated their wings. The well-informed Gu Zheng was moved in his heart. He already understood that this lava beetle can actually attack together. The effect of this collective flapping of wings can produce,
In addition to making their carapace harder, it will also make their original single light ball attack more powerful.
The ancient struggle has not retreated, and now there is no such thing as retreating. He can only cautiously let the flame barrier appear in his hands, let flame protection appear all over his body, and hold the flame blade to tear open a hole in the formation.
Most of the light balls enlarged by the combined attack technique fell on Gu Zheng's flame barrier. Although the power of the light balls has been increased by the combined attack technique, the strength of the lava beetle itself is far behind that of Gu Zheng, so I think
It will take a longer time to break Gu Zheng's flame barrier. As for the light balls that fall on Gu Zheng, in addition to making him feel like being punched, if they want to cause real harm to him, they will also
It takes many such attacks.
When Gu Zheng dealt with the hundred and ten lava beetles before, he did not use all his strength in slashing with the flame blade. Now that he wanted to tear a hole in the combined attack technique, he had to use all his strength to speed up, and under his full strength
Under attack, the flame blade can not only kill one lava beetle at a time, it can basically cut off two or three lava beetles with one swing, even if these lava beetles have been blessed by the combined attack technique and their carapace has changed.
Not even hard.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the Lava Beetle King, which flew towards Gu Zheng like a boulder, was knocked back by Gu Zheng's flame blade. Although this heavy blow did not directly break the hard shell of the Lava Beetle King, it could
However, many cracks appeared on its shell like ice. Gu Zheng believed that if it dared to fly towards it again, the next blow would definitely severely damage it.
The gap in strength was too big. Gu Zheng's killing of the lava beetles was like chopping melons and vegetables. Even the lava beetle king's attempt to sneak attack Gu Zheng failed. The lava beetle king who no longer wanted to sneak attack Gu Zheng spread his wings toward the bottom of the cave, only to
I saw a flash of light on its wings, and the lines on it were imprinted on the cave wall, and the cave wall immediately showed signs of melting and opening a hole.
The process of the cave entrance appearing was very fast, only a few breaths of time, but these few breaths of time had already allowed Gu Zheng to get rid of some of the lava beetles that were in the way. When the lava beetle king wanted to jump into the hole to escape, Gu Zheng
A long flame whip flew from behind it and wrapped tightly around its neck.
After using the flame whip to trap the Lava Beetle King, Gu Zheng shook his hands and exerted his strength, and the huge Lava Beetle King was flown back by him, and even hit two Lava Beetles when it landed.
Gu Zheng no longer loves fighting. Since he has caught the Lava Beetle King, he drags the Lava Beetle King and runs towards the road.
Guzheng Xiangrun did not want to resolve the battle, he just wanted to drag the Lava Beetle King to death first. Once the Lava Beetle King died, there would be no supporter of the combined attack technique, and the remaining Lava Beetles would be even more vulnerable.
Easy to solve.
The body of the Lava Beetle King is very big, as big as a small house. Although the cave is very spacious, when it was dragged away by Gu Zheng, it still blocked more than half of the cave space, so that those who followed it
The lava beetles did not dare to attack Gu Zheng again, for fear that the light ball would fall on the lava beetle king, thereby injuring the lava beetle king. The effect of this rat-destroying weapon was exactly what Gu Zheng wanted to see.
Gu Zheng originally thought that just by dragging the Lava Beetle King away, the Lava Beetle King might convey some intentions to him, but the Lava Beetle King was very stubborn and did not say a word to him until his death.
The Lava Beetle King died. Without the continuous effect of its life energy, its originally hard body became less hard. Gu Zheng's flame whip directly burned its head off the body.
Without the Lava Beetle King, the lava beetles' pursuit stopped. When Gu Zheng thought they were going to be angry and desperate, they all ran towards the bottom of the cave.
Gu Zheng chased the lava beetles, but he did not try his best. He wanted to see what these lava beetles were going to do when they ran back to the bottom of the cave, and whether they were going to enter the cave entrance.
Sure enough, after being killed by Gu Zheng until there were only about twenty lava beetles left, they hurriedly got into the hole after running back to the bottom of the cave.
Gu Zheng stood at the entrance of the hole and looked around, but did not enter it. This hole was different from the hole that the ant queen opened for him. The hole that the queen opened for him allowed him to see the scene inside if he stood outside, so he still
Before entering here, he knew that this was also a cave. However, at the entrance of the cave opened by the Lava Beetle King, all he could see was endless darkness, like a black hole.
"Master, what happened just now?"
Gu Zheng was not idle before, and Xuan Yue only listened to his words with half-understanding. Now that he was idle, the curious Xuan Yue naturally asked questions.
Gu Zheng told Xuan Yue something she didn't know. After hearing this, Xuan Yue asked: "Master, what do you think the so-called danger is?"
"Danger is danger, who can know the details?"
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled, and then said: "Maybe if you really swear, there is no guarantee that any killer moves will appear."
"Master, what do you think of this cave entrance? Do you think it is not an exit?" Xuan Yue asked again.
"It shouldn't be an exit. This cave entrance should be just like the whirlpool when we enter the magma lake. Once we enter, it may be another place. Moreover, I don't intend to enter this cave entrance. Since the Lava Beetle King wants to deceive me into swearing, then he
In the setting of this space world, there should be a bad guy. The hole opened by such a bad guy. Although I don’t have any special feelings, it’s better not to take risks! As for those lava beetles entering it, I
Just think of their entry as luring the enemy to go deeper."
Without saying anything else, Gu Zheng walked back with the huge head of the Lava Beetle King. When he returned to the cave where the ant queen was, he would ask the ant queen about his doubts to see if he could get answers.
Returning to the way he came from, the entrance to the cave still exists. Through the ancient struggle at the entrance, he has seen the bloated body of the queen ant. At least for now, the queen ant did not deceive him.
Seeing Gu Zheng return with the head of his old enemy, the Queen Ant, who had taken revenge, naturally conveyed some intentions to Gu Zheng to relieve her anger.
"Do you have anything to tell me about what happened over there?"
Gu Zheng told the Queen Ant what happened in the lava beetle cave, and the Queen Ant conveyed her intentions to Gu Zheng again. She said that she did not know why the Lava Beetle King asked Gu Zheng to swear.
For what purpose, but it has some understanding of the black hole-like entrance, and it reminds Gu Zheng not to enter such a hole out of curiosity, otherwise you will regret it.
Gu Zheng did not believe the Queen Ant's words easily. He asked, "How do you know this?"
Faced with Gu Zheng's questioning, the Queen Ant said that her understanding of the entrant and what she knew and could tell Gu Zheng were all part of her mission. She had already said everything she needed to say. As for Gu Zheng's belief or disbelief,
, then it all depends on Gu Zheng himself. Anyway, it has been liberated.
Just when Gu Zheng wanted to ask the queen ant what it meant by liberation, the queen's body emitted white light and turned into light spots that gradually dissipated. Those light spots gathered together and finally
A hole appeared above the cave roof.
Looking at the hole that appeared above the cave roof, Gu Zheng had the urge to curse. This was not because the hole appeared in a location that was inaccessible, but because it was also a black hole! Moreover, the queen ant had told him before she was freed,
Never enter such a cave out of curiosity.
Seeing Gu Zheng staring blankly at the entrance of the cave, Xuan Yue couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Zheng told Xuan Yue what the queen ant had said before, but Xuan Yue didn't have Gu Zheng's good temper. She scolded her directly: "This damn queen, what on earth is going on!"
