The soul shadow of the previous queen ant sighed, and its tentacles collided back and forth. It was a little unhappy, but it had to answer, "We acidophilic ants were transformed by the blood of demons during the invasion of demons fifty years ago.
Half-demon body.
The demon lord who commanded the invasion ordered us to stay and be responsible for excavating the sunken Silver Leaf City into the ground to find a strange object in the city. However, the Elf Grand Arcanists of Silver Leaf City are extremely capable. They moved while sinking the city.
the location of the city.
We have been cursed since we started digging, and this is the source of the rot. And half a year ago, we finally found the underground main city of Silverleaf City."
Alas..., after hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng didn't know whether to feel lucky or sad. These ants actually entered the ruins of Silver Leaf City first. He continued to ask: "What happens next?"
The incoming queen ant said: "When the items excavated from Silverleaf City were brought back, I discovered that the worker ants were digging in the cemetery area. Some of the items were obviously offerings to the gods.
Among them, there was a laurel wreath with a full moon pattern that was the most terrifying. After it shattered, it released a powerful curse. Since then, the curse on the ant colony suddenly became stronger, and all the ant eggs I laid will rot one after another."
Hilly exclaimed when she heard the acid-loving ants dug up the 'cemetery area', and was even more enlightened when she heard the curse increased. She mocked on the spot: "The crown with the full moon pattern, do you know whose symbol that is? You are really brave.
Damn, you deserve to be cursed."
The incoming queen ant replied: "The worker ants don't have much intelligence. Based on the information they sent back, I only know that the ruins of the underground city are very dilapidated after being dug up.
The worker ants found a statue whose original shape could not be seen in a ruins where stone pillars and roofs had collapsed. The laurel wreath with the full moon pattern was found among the remains of the statue. Later I learned that those collapsed statues were gods."
Hilly continued to sarcastically say, "You dare to dig and take things when you don't understand anything. You acid-loving ants deserve this disaster."
"Why?" Everyone, including Zhou Qingfeng, asked this question.
Hilly said coldly: "The full moon pattern is the holy symbol of Sehanni Moonbow. She is the daughter of the elven god Corellon, one of the incarnations of the goddess Angelis, and the goddess of prophecy and illusion in charge of the elven death priesthood.
.
You despicable half-demon ants broke into Sehani Moonbow's temple and took away her laurel crown. This is an act of blatant blasphemy. It would be strange if she didn't curse you to exterminate the entire clan."
ah!
Now that the truth of the matter was revealed, everyone was as satisfied as if they had just heard a piece of gossip. Zhou Qingfeng asked Xili again, "Is there a way to break this curse?"
Hilly glared at her master and whispered: "If a nest of ants annoys you, what will you do?"
"Tamp them to death. If they are no longer enough, scald them with boiling water. Or put some sugar and rice grains outside the ants' nest to lure them out, and then pour boiling water on them.
If I have free time, I would dig up the ant nests, pour boiling water directly into them, and watch the scalded ants float out of the nests. I often did this when I was a child."
"The gods all have time to spare."
It's over, this nest of ants is hopeless.
No wonder that in the Elf Temple, the goddess Angelis asked Zhou Qingfeng to eliminate the 'disgusting things' that broke into the ruins of Silver Leaf City. This refers to the acid-loving ants!
Zhou Qingfeng slapped his face, and everyone was scolding her.
The new ant queen continued: "We actually knew something was wrong, and we tried to save it. But we are just alienated half-demon ants, and the superior gods will not listen to our pleas for mercy.
We tried to put the taken items back into the cemetery area, and I even went to the ruins in person to make a request. As a result, I was also infected with rot when I came back, and I died after being tortured for half a month.
After the new ant queen is born, she should also be troubled by this problem. But everything is irreversible, only destruction is waiting for us."
The reason is clear, but the problem still exists.
Zhou Qingfeng was having a headache when the mysterious person in charge of the psychic suddenly asked: "Who was the demon lord who ordered you to dig up Silver Leaf City?"
The soul of the incoming queen ant suddenly became dull and trembled with shadows. Due to the rules of restricted necromancy, it had to name the name it knew, but it also knew that this name was a taboo and could never be mentioned.
Mystery's question caught Zhou Qingfeng's attention. He remembered the succubus Medeis and was unwilling to tell any details about the demon invasion, let alone the name of the demon lord back then - but Mystery asked deliberately.
The lion head and the sheep head stared closely at the shadow of the previous ant queen, who was forcibly restraining herself from speaking. Xili and others were also curious, waiting to know who led the invasion of the material world. Zhou Qingfeng realized the danger. , pulled out 'Bie Xie' with a clang.
The sword light restrained the evil and fell down in the blink of an eye.
The two beastheads shouted: "We are asking questions."
"Go to hell, you two-headed monster. I shouldn't believe the devil's words." Zhou Qingfeng smashed the lion's head with his sword and blew it up.
The sheep's head immediately shouted, urging the shadow of the incoming queen ant: "Say that name quickly."
The adamantine shuttle shot out quickly, penetrating the shadow of the old ant queen's soul. The acid-loving ant's soul was also an evil existence, and it would still suffer double the damage. The name the old ant queen was about to say was knocked back. Immediately afterwards The fine gold flying shuttle penetrated and shot multiple times to disperse them.
After Zhou Qingfeng struck with his sword, he kicked down the hundreds of kilograms of mysterious stone sculptures. The lion's head exploded, and the sheep's head exclaimed: "Wait a minute, I fulfilled the contract and I shouldn't be killed."
The second sword struck and chopped the sheep's head into pieces.
No one else knew what was going on. Only Zhou Qingfeng took a breather and stopped the trick. He didn't know the consequences of the old ant queen saying the taboo name, but judging from the mysterious monster's performance, it was definitely not a good thing.
This mysterious monster should have thought that Zhou Qingfeng must be deceived when he was in the underworld, but he didn't expect that the succubus Medeisi had inadvertently reminded Zhou Qingfeng.
The mysterious monster died, and the others in the team didn't care. Just looking at the abnormal situation just now, they knew that Zhou Qingfeng was right to take action.
"What do we do now?" Mondino asked.
"Go back to the prison first, don't let those acid-loving ants go crazy." Zhou Qingfeng had experienced the pain of being covered by ants for a while and didn't want to experience it a second time.
Todd and Adrian threw the pieces of the mysterious monster into the corpse pit to prevent the acidophilic ants from finding anything unusual. While looking through the rocks, Todd picked up a yellow air ball and said, "Victor, this monster left something behind." ."
"It's an illusion core." Mondino shook his head, "It's a magic trick that can create a small, undefended space. Life in the wild can be more comfortable."
Zhou Qingfeng took the yellow air ball and released it naturally. The scene around everyone immediately changed from a cold and smelly ant nest corpse pit to a room with bright and clean windows. As long as he thinks about it, everything will appear in the room. Tables, chairs, furniture, etc.
Mondino still shook his head, "This is an illusion. It is easy to see through and easy to attack. However, if you can find a good alchemist, you can upgrade it and it may be more useful."
It doesn't sound like a high evaluation, but don't give up what you get for free. Zhou Qingfeng put away the 'fan core' and waved his hand: "Let's go back first."
