I don’t know if the queen ant has entered a state of recovery or has initially repaired her injuries. She is crawling faster and faster, and in Lin Qiye’s mental perception, the distance between them is gradually increasing...
In the end, the queen ant got rid of Lin Qiye's perception.
However, Lin Qiye did not stop there. Firstly, because there is only one passage in the cave, there is no possibility of being thrown away. Secondly, because there is blood of the queen ant on the ground. As long as you follow the blood stains and look forward, you can always find it.
Where she is.
Lin Qiye chased in the dark cave for about a few minutes. The narrow rock walls on both sides suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding space suddenly opened up.
Lin Qiye was startled and gradually slowed down.
This is a dark and empty underground space. Even if Lin Qiye extends his spiritual perception to the limit, he cannot detect its edge. In other words, the diameter of this space is at least five hundred meters.
Lin Qiye looked back and saw a circular cave several meters high embedded in the smooth wall behind him. He had just walked out of it.
He frowned slightly, walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the surface of the wall.
Unlike the rock wall inside the cave, this vast flat wall is made of blue-gray bricks. When in contact with the skin, it conveys the slightest coolness. There are no gaps between the bricks.
It's like they have grown together, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite.
On the ground in front of the wall, there are still some broken bricks and soil scattered, which may have been caused by worker ants digging holes in the wall.
"Man-made?" Lin Qiye looked at the majestic blue-grey wall in front of him, with a look of shock in his eyes.
You know, this is no other place, but the deepest part of the virgin forest, an underground space nearly a hundred meters above the ground. How could there be such a magnificent artificial wall here?
And judging from the quality and workmanship of the bricks, this does not seem to be the style of modern architecture...
Lin Qiye retracted his palm, thought for a moment, and continued walking forward along the blood stains on the ground.
Although the origin of this wall is indeed suspicious, the top priority right now is to hunt down the seriously injured queen ant first. However, Lin Qiye did not relax his vigilance. In such a strange environment, he has maximized his perception ability and is ready at any time.
Respond to possible dangers.
On the ground, the blood stains on the queen ant became less and less, and the clues became more and more blurred. It seemed that the queen ant was not returning to her original state, but that she was rapidly recovering from her injuries.
After all, it is a mysterious creature from the "sea" realm. Even if half of its body is blown off, it will not die so easily.
Lin Qiye followed the blood trail forward, and suddenly seemed to sense something, and froze on the spot.
He raised his head and looked into the deep darkness ahead, with a deep look of horror in his eyes.
"Wild fire, in spring."
puff--!
A faint ray of fire bloomed in Lin Qiye's palm. With this ray of light, Lin Qiye finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.
In front of him, a wall appeared again, but unlike the previous wall, this wall was completely black and emitted a strange black light, absorbing all the light falling on the surface of the wall.
In the center of this wall, a magnificent and ancient bronze gate stands on the ground, about thirty meters high. The surface of the dusty gate is covered with mottled dark green patina, which appears dark red under the light of the fire.
, if you stare at it for a long time, the strange dark red color will seem to be imprinted in your mind, lingering.
Lin Qiye immediately changed his gaze and looked up at the top of the door. The firelight in his palms could not reveal the entirety of this giant bronze door, but even so, standing under this giant bronze door, he could feel an inexplicable feeling.
A sense of oppression enveloped his heart.
The most critical problem is that Lin Qiye's spiritual perception cannot pass through this bronze door. Not only this door, but also the black stone brick walls on both sides cannot pass through, as if there is an invisible force repelling Lin Qiye.
The spiritual power of Qiye prohibits all existence from entering.
"What on earth is this..." Lin Qiye frowned, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger.
This is the northernmost territory of Daxia, deep in the primeval forest, under the earth... Except for Lin Qiye and the others, it is impossible for anyone to have arrived here, but it happened that here, such a strange and mysterious man-made building appeared.
When did it appear? Who built it? What is its purpose?
A series of doubts came to Lin Qiye's mind. He stood in front of the giant bronze door and fell into deep thought...
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and started searching around the giant bronze door.
Judging from the dust on the door, this door should not have been opened for a long time. If this is the case, it means that the queen ant did not pass through this door, so where did she go?
After a while, Lin Qiye found the answer.
I saw in the corner about fifty meters away from the bronze door, a huge hole was driven into the ground at an angle. It was about seven or eight meters wide and was exactly the size of the queen ant. From the angle of the entrance of the hole, it should be the queen.
He dug a hole through the ground and crossed the black wall, going directly to the back of the wall...
No, that's not right!
Lin Qiye carefully observed the broken soil on the ground, his brows frowning more and more...
The soil at the edge of this hole is not curled inward, but cracked outward, and judging from the feel of the soil, the soil must have been dug up for a long time.
In other words... this hole was drilled from the inside out of the wall, and it existed a long time ago!
Lin Qiye stood up slowly and looked at the entrance of the cave with serious eyes.
He originally thought that the queen ant was just a 'mystery' that only appeared in the cracks in the ground, and that the passage leading to the inside of the giant bronze door was probably left by her for escape, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The queen ant is a creature that escaped from behind the giant bronze door!
Lin Qiye stared at the traces of blood remaining at the entrance of the cave and sighed helplessly.
Everything in front of him had exceeded his expectations. Whether it was the door itself or the unknown risks behind the door, they seemed to be warning him not to go any further...
He really wanted to kill the queen ant, but after rationally analyzing the current situation, it was no longer suitable to continue chasing her.
This mission is destined to end here.
Lin Qiye turned his head and was about to leave here temporarily. At this moment, his body froze in place again.
The weak firelight danced in the dark underground space. Under the dim light, pale paper figures surrounded him without knowing when...
Their empty eyes stared straight at Lin Qiye, and the corners of their mouths painted with scarlet brushes raised a strange arc, as if they were smiling.
