Sentinel ants were one of the most common creatures in underground caves. Adult sentinel ants were the size of wolfhounds. The antennae on their heads could sense vibrations several kilometers away and identify hundreds of different vibration frequencies. Therefore, when natural enemies approached, they could always detect them in advance and avoid danger. This was also the origin of the sentinel ant's name. However, sentinel ants were mostly found in shallow caves. It was rare for these large ants to appear in a cave about two kilometers above the ground.
These large ants were besieging a strange snake like the one Allen had killed. Sentinel ants were very good at dividing the work. The two in front were responsible for attracting the attention of the strange snake, while the ants on the left, right, and back continued to attack. They had already bitten the strange snake until it was bleeding. Finally, a sentinel ant pounced forward and tore off the entire flesh sac on the strange snake's head. This was undoubtedly fatal to the strange snake. It coiled around the large ant in pain, and its powerful body continued to shrink, causing the ant's entire body to make a soft sound. In the end, it perished together with the sentinel ant.
The remaining ants were happily tearing apart the strange snake's body, accurately pulling out the water sac in its body and eating it clean. Then the ants began to eat the strange snake's corpse. As for the heroic companion who had sacrificed himself, he would eventually become food in their bodies.
The tremors came suddenly, without any warning. Even with the vigilance of the sentinel ants, there were no signs at all. When they sensed the strong vibration, the entire cave passageway was already trembling. Countless mud powder fell from the stalagmites above, and the irregular rocks on the mountain walls were shattered. The sentinel ants could not care less about eating. They crawled in circles uneasily. The tremors seemed to come from all directions, which disturbed their judgment, leaving the large ants completely at a loss as to where to escape to.
At this moment, one of the ants raised its head, and its two large black eyes reflected the moss-covered cave wall. The moss on the cave wall was falling off, revealing the cracked bare rock behind it. A beam of light shone in from the cracks in the rock. It was a warm light. The orange light was like the light emitted by magma flowing in the depths of the earth's core. However, the warmth turned into scorching heat in an instant. Wisps of Febrile wind drilled in through the cracks in the mountain wall, causing the temperature of the passage where the Sentinel Ants were located to rise rapidly.
The next moment, a cluster of orange flames pushed away the mountain rocks and flooded into the cave like a flood. A beautiful but fatal flower of flames bloomed in the eyes of the Sentinel Ant. The ant didn't even have time to react. In the blink of an eye, it was engulfed by the waves of fire that poured in. A series of light sounds of shells exploding rang out in the raging flames. From time to time, streaks of strong light would flash in and out of the flowing fire. These light beams were extremely penetrative. In the raging flames, a Sentinel Ant's head was hit by a beam of light. Immediately, half of its head was lifted up, as if it had been hit by a sniper rifle and exploded into pieces.
Whether it was the raging flames or the flowing light, it was a disaster for the underground creatures in the cave. By the time the flames subsided and the light disappeared, the passageway was already a mess. Large patches of moss and ferns were burned to ashes, and the green and yellow mountain walls were also charred black. Sentinel ants, strange snakes, and some other unknown creatures were turned into roasted corpses. They lay scattered on the ground where there were still remnants of flames, forming a set of hellish scenes.
One side of the wall was burned through, and under the continuous spray of sparks, it finally collapsed with a loud crash. Landing in the mud that shook the ground, a figure rolled in. He coughed lightly, his head, face, and body covered in mud. He had no choice but to raise his hand and wipe it. Under the fire, Allen's face was filled with helplessness.
The mountain walls between the karst cave passageways could be very thick, as thick as the armor of a stronghold. It could also be very thin, so thin that it could not withstand the impact of Allen and Katherine's Origin Energy, and thus be flattened.
This time, Katherine's attack was clearly much heavier, and she was just short of summoning the projection of her ancestor. The ghostly scorpion spear and the snake sickle that opened and closed made it extremely difficult for Allen to deal with them. After a few rounds of fighting, he had already been shot three times and slashed by a sickle. If it weren't for the fact that his combat skills had also been improving and growing these past few days, relying on his exquisite teleportation to prevent Katherine's attack from landing on his vital points, he would have already been lying down.
Even so, a few holes in the blade armor and a wound on his waist that had almost cut him in half reminded Allen that he was in a dangerous battle. The sound of footsteps rang out, and Katherine stepped on the stone fragments on the ground. Her left sickle and right spear calmly walked in from the other side of the gap in the mountain wall. There was no expression on her face at all, only ruthless cold killing intent.
She had made up her mind.
Although she had hesitated for a few days, she had finally made a decision.
This was undoubtedly the worst situation for Allen. That meant that Katherine no longer had any reservations. If it weren't for the limited space in the cave, she wouldn't be able to withstand the torment of the projection of the ancestor. Katherine would probably release the Snake and Scorpion Empress as soon as she appeared. With her projection that day, she had killed nearly a thousand winged cavalry warriors of the Blade Demon Tribe in one fell swoop. It wouldn't be difficult to kill Allen at all.
At most, it would be a little troublesome.
"There's no point in resisting. It's just a waste of our time. Stand there and don't move. I promise I won't let you feel any pain. "Katherine said expressionlessly.
Allen stood up and slid down a first aid potion in his hand. He stabbed it into his leg and said, "I don't have the habit of closing my eyes and waiting for death."
"Why bother? No matter how hard you struggle, the outcome cannot be changed. How about this, I'll give you some extra benefits. Tell me, who do you want his life? After you die, I promise I'll send them to the same place. "
"You're so generous." Allen threw away the empty syringe and smiled dryly, "But when it comes to enemies, I think it's better to have my own hands on them."
Catherine actually nodded. "Alright then, I respect your decision. You can struggle and resist. I'll let you die like a real warrior. "
"Thank you very much!"
The blade armor suddenly lit up with lines, and a pair of wings made of Origin Energy saber light silently spread out from behind Allen. With saber light as feathers, the moment this pair of blade wings appeared, the feathers on it disintegrated and shot towards Katherine like bolts of lightning. For a moment, the passageway was filled with light and shadows, causing people to be dazzled.
The lethality of the Blade Wings was limited, and its greater use was to harass the opponent. Allen didn't expect to use it to retreat. As long as Katherine was slightly distracted, she would be worthy of the Origin Energy consumed to activate this ability. As soon as the saber light appeared, Allen took the opportunity to pounce on it. His feet stepped on a completely irregular pace, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes short and sometimes long, forming a series of dazzling movements. Such a movement undoubtedly consumed a lot of Origin Energy and physical strength. However, the advantage was that with Katherine's eyesight and experience, it was difficult to predict the time, angle, and location of Allen's approach.
Katherine had to admit that under her pursuit, the young Bescot was growing at an astonishing rate. If this speed could be maintained forever, it wouldn't be long before he caught up to him, or even surpassed him!
However, there was no word "if" in Katherine's dictionary. The moment she made up her mind, Allen was already a corpse.
Even though he was still alive and kicking.
Blood turned into a streak of red lightning in Allen's hand and Katherine silently raised her right hand. The scorpion spear flashed out and hit the blade of the heavy saber. The collision of the saber and spear produced an ear-piercing sound. The collision of Origin Energy produced rolling thunder that rang endlessly in the passageway. Allen smiled bitterly in his heart. He had used the wings of the blade and the ingenious footwork he had stolen from Katherine, but he was still unable to distract the young major general's mind.
Otherwise, how could Katherine hit Blood Yin with a single shot?
He took a deep breath and put life and death behind him. He only focused on moving his saber. His mind gradually condensed. The twist of his wrist, the output of Origin Energy, the angle of the blade, and every detail was clearly reflected in Allen's mind. At this moment, he didn't even think about what to do with his next saber. He focused all his attention on this moment.
Even Allen didn't know that the days of battles, the insights and experiences of life and death moments had naturally become a part of his life at this moment. It was like a person's breathing, breathing in and out of nature. In Katherine's eyes, Allen's saber had a trace of perfection, and it was as natural as breathing between the saber and the saber. A single saber strike naturally included several sets of movements, but they were all integrated into one. Even as tyrannical as she was, she couldn't force Allen's saber path to be interrupted by skill alone.
At this point, his saber skill could be considered to have reached Large Success.
Admiration was admiration, but Katherine had no intention of letting go of the water. The scorpion spear patterns lit up, and the Origin Energy condensed as if it were real. The spear moved like wind and thunder, and every spear. With a stab, it would definitely suppress Allen's attack. Allen was not discouraged. One saber after another, he used it like waves. The Hundred Style Battle Skills from the Blood Lion General had been thoroughly mastered by Allen after being tempered. The saber moves were easy to grasp, and several moves were refined into one saber, causing its power to increase greatly in an instant.
Especially with a tyrannical opponent like Katherine for him to practice his saber, Allen felt more and more happy. His mind gradually merged with the heavy saber in his hand, and there was no distinction between the saber and the person. Just as he was about to use it, Katherine's aura suddenly rose, and the scorpion spear in her hand stabbed three times like lightning. The three spears were inseparable, and Allen felt that they would pierce his forehead, neck, and chest at the same time.
The fall would form a line, and it was as accurate as a miracle.
At this moment, the heavy saber could no longer be moved. The wings of the blade fluttered with all their might, and the feathers formed from the saber light struck the scorpion spear like moths flying into a flame, causing countless lightning, wind, and fire to collide with each other. Allen retreated at the same time, but Katherine's spear momentum was like a maggot attached to her body, chasing after her. The scorpion spear pierced through countless saber lights, and the three spears suddenly merged into one. A green light suddenly lit up at the tip of the spear, and then the entire passageway was dyed with a layer of dense green light.
