Chapter 14: Legend of the Dragon King (Hive)

"It's an ant"

Qian Qian screamed in shock, so scared that I covered her mouth, "Worry, do you want to die?"

“Woo woo…”

She nodded after hearing this, signaling that it would be quiet, and I let her go. We hid in the dark and crawled motionlessly. Through the faint light source, I realized that the stone statue corpse ants that came this time were different from those I met on the stone stairs. The stone statue corpse ants here had red eyes and emitted red light. Moreover, the body size and size of the turtle were better than the stone statue corpse ants on the stone stairs.

But the number is not that terrifying, and it looks like about 180. Compared to the endless tide of insects, I would rather face fewer stone statues and corpse-eating ants climbed over at a very fast speed, then stopped in front of the gate of the town palace and stayed quietly.

After a while, a stone statue corpse ants suddenly let out a low sound, and then other stone statue corpse ants also started to scream. I looked at them in confusion. Not long after the screams came, the huge stone gate of the town palace on the side slowly opened.

A golden light shone out from inside. I was shocked and hurriedly pulled Qian Qian over and climbed. After the stone door was completely opened, about fifty or sixty stone statues of corpse-eating ants rushed in quickly and quickly carried the corpse in the town palace.

Their huge forefoots raised the corpse high, as if they were going to offer something. I suddenly remembered the huge foot that had just landed on the ground, but before I could think too much, a red soft body suddenly ejected from above the corpse in my eyes. I felt a flower in front of me, and the corpse held by a stone like a corpse ants disappeared from my sight.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of chewing chewing came from the top of my head, and it made my head numb. Not long after the sound of chewing chewing chewing, it slowly disappeared. The stone statue corpse ants cried happily, and the heavy sound of landing sounded again. I was sweating all over, and my body trembled slightly in fear. The stone statue corpse ants disappeared into the darkness with the vibration sound.

When they completely disappeared, I felt relieved and spread it on the ground.

"What was the thing that just chewed Jue's body?"

Qian Qian asked with a stuttering stutter, probably she had guessed something.

"Highlights, stone statues, corpse and ants have strict hierarchy"

Xiao Shi said.

"And the one we met just now is probably a female insect, right?"

I said in a deep voice, looking vigilantly at the darkness in front of me.

"Female insect? Like a normal ants?"

"Well, the stone like a corpse-eating ants and ordinary ants is divided into three levels. The white eyes we met on the stone stairs are the lowest level. The red eyes just now are usually male ants. As for the guy with giant feet and giant eyes, it should be the supreme power in the stone like a corpse-eating ants, queen ant!"

"That guy seems to be ridiculously big, and there is a possible an ant nest ahead. We have to be very careful, otherwise we will be discovered. I suspect that the two of them will not be enough for them to get stuck in their teeth."

Thinking of the red software, I felt a chill on my back. The strange software should be the tongue of the queen ant, but the queen ant has a tongue but no tongue, I really don’t know.

"Then how can we go?"

Qian Qian asked, her tone was also a little trembling, probably having a certain shadow on the encounter with ants.

"Also, where did you meet the blood corpse?"

When I rescued Qian Qian, she was injured by the guy who had become bitten by the blood corpse and the corpse turned into a destruction. According to time, even if I dig a hole for an hour, what did Qian Qian and the others do in an hour that caused the disaster of killing.

"After we entered the robber's hole left by the tomb robbers in the past, we met a tomb chamber, which contained a strange sarcophagus, which was floating and emitting a huge smell of blood. Uncle Wen and the others discussed bypassing it and not opening the coffin, but Ayong suddenly rushed towards the sarcophagus, and then broke the iron chain that held the sarcophagus, and released the ghost thing inside."

Qian Qian recalled that when she thought of that scene, her body couldn't help but tremble, and huge fear still enveloped her.

"Ayong? That guy who got bitten?"

"Well, Ayong was bitten because he was closest to him. Uncle Wen and I got separated. Then we met ant first and then Ayong. You will know what happened next."

"Okay, it's a bad luck to encounter. Let's go over and take a lighter pace, otherwise it will disturb those guys and we won't be able to take care of it."

Qian Qian was still trembling, so I patted her back as a comfort. She nodded, and we touched it with a flashlight. At the end, I turned off the flashlight directly, and then Xiao Shi led the way, and I pulled Qian Qian away.

The ant nest seems to be quite far from the town palace. We have to walk for about half an hour and are still in the tomb passage, but Xiao Shi told me that the traces of ants in the tomb passage are becoming more and more obvious.

In another ten minutes, I began to smell a strange question, with a smell of sour water, and a faint stench.

Fortunately, I saw the flowing wind inside, so it was not too difficult to bear it. I lowered my body, took a handful, then put my hand to my nose and smelled it carefully. The mixed smell was so disgusting that I had done something bad for a while before I recovered.

"This is his mother, she is the secretion of a stone statue corpse-eating ant, it's so smelly."

I whispered while retching.

"Who told you to touch it? Stop talking. When we go over, there should be a nest of stone like a corpse-eating ants in front of us."

Xiao Shi glanced at the front, and Qian Qian patted me on the back and spat hard. I stood up and touched me, and came out of the tomb passage. There was a broken wall in front of me, with a very high empty space. The only way connecting the opposite was a stone bridge about two meters away.

The span of nearly 100 meters makes the stone bridge look crumbling, and the stone pillars protruding from the ground are very sparse, with about one every twenty meters.

This is not the main thing. The main thing is that at the junction of the stone wall and the stone bridge, there are stone balls covered with dark bodies and rough surfaces.

"This is probably the nest of a stone statue of a corpse-eating ant."

Qian Qian said softly, I shrew at her when I heard this, aimed at her waist, pressed her body against the stone ball, patted her gently, and a slight empty sound suddenly came, proving that it was empty inside, and a circular entrance could be seen from the side.

The stone balls are arranged neatly and are built along the stone bridge. I am very puzzled. Since this is the nest of stone statues of corpse ants, there should be a place where the queen of ants live. However, judging from the size of the stone ball, it is only enough for a red-eyed stone to live like a corpse ants. Compared with the ant nest of ordinary ants, the ant nest of stone statues of corpse ants is separated and exists alone. Each ant has its own real ball, arranged together and is arranged in a chain shape.

"Ten, where is the queen's nest?"

I asked Xiao Shi on his shoulders. He glanced at the stone ball on the stone bridge and frowned, "Isn't it here?"

"Impossible. According to the habits of ant, the queen's nest is in the center of the ant nest, which is the safest place to prevent. Have you noticed that from here to there, the number of stone balls is about one hundred, so the nest of stone statues that eat corpse ants must be here."

Qian Qian said firmly that she made a very reasonable analysis, but the ant colony outside was as she said, because when the dam was built, the queen of the ant nest that my companions and I dug was in the center of the nest, which was the safest place.

But the question is, since it is here, where are you going? There is only one thing in the whole space. Not to mention that the huge body cannot hide, the nest built can definitely be seen at a glance.

"This is also my strange thing."

Qian Qian sighed and said that she didn't know where the queen's nest was. I shook my head helplessly and was about to walk forward when suddenly a drop of water fell from above and hit my face. I touched it with my hand, and a foul stinking came from the palm of my hand.

"I know where it is"

I said in a deep voice.

"Where?"

"above"

I pointed to the top of my head and moved my eyes up at the same time with Qianqian. The purpose was to enter a stone ball that was a bit too large. The stone ball was hanging in the sky, and stone pillars stretched out around it, pressing the stone ball to the center.

The entire stone ball is constructed very standardized, and there are oval white balls standing on the stone pillars. The red-eyed stones are like corpse ants crawling back and forth on the stone pillars, and they are moved out of the stone balls, and then placed them on the stone pillars, starting from the stone wall, surrounding the stone balls, and unknown how many white balls are placed around the entire stone balls.

Needless to ask, according to the life of ordinary ants, you will immediately know that the white balls are the eggs of stone statues of corpse-eating ants.

The queen of ant is a crazy production tool. White eggs are constantly transported out until they are filled with stone pillars. After the white eggs are transported out by some red-eyed stones like corpse ants, they will be cooked by the remaining stones like corpse ants. They secrete a white silk and wrap the eggs. Each egg and the next egg are connected by white silk, and finally form a huge white net.

We were frightened to see it below, but we didn't dare to stay. I grabbed Qian Qian and rushed to the stone bridge in panic, hoping to cross the stone bridge when the stone statue corpse ants came back, because the work above was coming to an end, so I didn't want to be the nutrition for the queen of the ant to give birth to eggs.

Running all the way, there was a sticky liquid under my feet. When I stepped on it, I felt like I was stepping on paste. Qian Qian and I emitted a stench, which made us retching continuously. The secretions above came as if it was drizzling, and we didn't miss any corner that could be covered.

We ran to the middle of the stone bridge, not far from the opposite side, but what was shocking was that there was a giggle from behind. I suddenly turned around and saw that the stone statue of corpse-eating ant had started to climb down. It should have been cooking the white eggs and then returned to the ant nest to rest.

Qian Qian and I were so scared that we ran away and rushed to the opposite tomb passage. The tomb passage was connected to a stone bridge and was isolated by a door. We rushed to the door, Qian Qian went forward decisively, then snatched the flashlight from my hand, covered the light and glanced at it, and said in a heavy tone.

"Portrait"

"What does it mean?"

I asked hurriedly.

"The so-called entrance hall is that this door connects to the mechanism. Once the door is opened, it will definitely trigger the operation of the mechanism."

"It's a matter of whether the machine is running or not, so open the door first."

I said anxiously, because there was a stone ball at the stone gate. It was not good to open the entrance of the stone ball, but it was opened directly opposite the stone gate, which was so angry that I was so angry.

If we stay here, once the stone statues of this residence come back, we will definitely find that we will be so unresponsive to each other. The world will not work.

Qian Qian also knew that the problem was serious, so he didn't hesitate to touch the mechanism on the stone door. Compared with other large tombs, all the doors of the tomb chambers in this large tomb are locked by the mechanism and not all are closed to death.

I waited anxiously for the door to open, and the sound of crawling behind me became clearer and clearer. I turned my head to look behind me and saw a red-eyed stone slowly falling from the queen's nest like a corpse-eating ant. What's strange is that there are very small wings behind it to help it remove the fallen force.

Ensure it falls safely on the stone bridge. After the stone statue of a corpse-eating ants fell on the stone bridge, it shook its body and then crawled in our direction.

"Hurry up, that guy is here"

I urged Qian Qian's face was sweating heavily, and she was touching the stone door in panic. The stone statue of corpse-eating ant was not far from us, and I knew it was too late.

"Start up and I'll block them"

In the end, I had no choice but to take action first, decisively pull out Jinghong, and then blocked Qianqian's body. When the stone statue corpse-eating ant showed its head, Xiao Shi immediately shouted on his shoulder, "Come on!".

Hearing this, I did not hesitate at all. I held the long sword in the red-eyed stone like a corpse-eating ant before I could react, and I rushed out a knife and tangled towards its head.
