The closer you get, the richer the spiritual energy in the air becomes, as if it is locked by a strange force and condensed in this area, making it difficult to dissipate.
The deepest part of the ant nest is where the queen ant lays her eggs.
The surroundings were extremely silent and no sound could be heard.
Yun Luo held her breath and quietly walked forward, but she felt something was wrong in her heart.
There will only be one queen in an ant nest, and the continuation of the entire colony depends on her. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no matter how dangerous it is outside, the queen will always be protected by many soldier ants.
It shouldn't be quiet like this.
What's going on?
Could it be that the man-eating ant colony doesn't value its queen and doesn't even leave any guard ants behind?
Yun Luo thought to himself and couldn't help but look at Jun Wuchen.
Jun Wuchen noticed her gaze, shook his head slightly, and made a silent mouth gesture.
Puppet vine?
Yun Luo's heart tightened and he suddenly thought about it.
She almost forgot that there was this thing in Guniuling.
Jun Wuchen told her before that the Puppet Vine itself is a parasitic demon plant and has no ability to survive independently. Therefore, if it wants to grow, it must be parasitic or attached to something with abundant spiritual energy.
And this kind of thing is either a spiritual plant or a demon plant.
Since the puppet vine appears in Guniuling, it means that there must be plants full of spiritual energy here.
It's just that Yun Luo and Jun Wuchen didn't know what this plant was before, but now, they both know in their hearts that it is most likely the Nine-leaf Resurrection Fruit.
The Nine-Leaf Resurrection Fruit is originally one of the seven magical medicines on the Yunmeng Continent, and is rumored to have become extinct.
It's just because the incomplete foundation of Yunmeng Continent is hidden here. It may be some kind of coincidence that allowed it to survive.
The Puppet Vine is also a thing from ancient times. Because of its ferocious nature, it is even called a "monster". It should have been extinct as well, but it was lucky to survive because of the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Fruit.
In addition, Jun Wuchen also said that although the parasitic ability of the puppet vine is very cruel, its body is very fragile.
All its combat power comes from parasitic puppets.
Fight by controlling parasitized plants, monsters or humans. Once free from the parasite, it is almost like an ordinary plant, does not have much attack power, and is easy to die.
Thinking of this, Yun Luo suddenly had a horrifying thought in his heart!
It’s so quiet deep in the ant nest——
Is it possible that the queen ant and the guarding soldier ants were all parasitized by the puppet vine?
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed very possible.
If the Puppet Vine really relied on the Nine-leaf Resurrection Fruit to survive, with its greedy nature, I am afraid that it would have already regarded the Resurrection Fruit as its own, and would never allow outsiders to take it away.
The Nine-leaf Resurrection Fruit grows deep in the ant nest.
In order to ensure safety, the puppet vine will definitely parasitize man-eating ants crazily, turning them into its own puppets, and then controlling them to protect itself.
The queen ant is the leader of the entire ant colony, how could the puppet vine miss her?
I'm afraid I have to control it first.
Yun Luo realized that something was wrong.
Although she and Jun Wuchen successfully entered the center of the ant nest, the real trouble they had to face was not the man-eating ants, but the puppet vines that were parasitic on them and controlled secretly...
This is more difficult to deal with than facing a swarm of man-eating ants.
But even so, Yun Luo had no intention of backing down. She and Jun Wuchen finally got here, how could they return without success?
