On the large keychain in Star Moon's hand, one of the crystals trembled like a fluorescent stick, looking for the direction.
It looked like a compass needle.
This scene was magical in the eyes of the others.
Special, auxiliary abilities were rarer than combat abilities. It was the first time the captain had seen one that needed to borrow equipment.
His confidence in finding the queen finally rose from 0% to 1%.
The fluorescent stick crystal finally stabilized, but it defied gravity and hovered in the air, pointing to one of the forks in front of them.
Tang Yu didn't hesitate and stepped into the cave.
They maintained the speed of an ordinary person's trot, which wasn't fast. However, every one or two minutes, they would encounter a fork in the road. Some roads were divided into two, some were divided into five, six, seven, eight …
This maze was even bigger than the maze they encountered in the secret realm, and it was more irregular. After all, it was dug out by the demonic black ants. Tang Yu's brain circuit was not on the same frequency as the black ants.
Fortunately, they had Star Moon's "Pathfinding Technique".
Every time they encountered a fork in the road, the fluorescent stick would always change direction and point to one of the holes very clearly.
Everyone could feel that as they moved forward, the altitude was dropping.
The Great Captain and the others who had followed them in had excited expressions on their faces.
Suddenly …
???? A rustling sound was heard.
The captain was experienced and immediately shouted in a low voice, "Be careful, there's a black ant swarm coming. Judging from the sound, they will meet us in about 15 seconds."
The searchlight shone forward, and soon they saw a dense swarm of black ants.
The captain and the others looked solemn, "Although these black ants are weak, their mouthparts are highly poisonous. Be careful not to let them get close. Also, pay attention not to destroy the surrounding environment when fighting. Otherwise, this underground cave is in danger of collapsing. In fact, if there is a way to find the queen, I suggest we go back and call for reinforcements —"
He didn't finish his words.
A dazzling orange-red flame rose in the dark cave. This flame was emitted from a long sword wrapped in flames.
In the next moment, the long sword swung out violently like a rain of fire.
The entire cave instantly turned red, forming a ring of fire, burning from near to far.
Tang Yu dispersed the flames attached to the long sword, drew a sword flower, put away the long sword, and patted the non-existent dust on his body as if nothing had happened.
"Ah Yu, aren't you … aren't you a construction-type ability user? What is this flame? "His cousin was already stammering, unable to speak.
"There's no rule that says architecture majors can't set fires." Tang Yu shrugged and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
A look of joy appeared on his cousin's face.
Then, he heard,
"However, you won't be able to learn it."
Cousin: "…"
It hurt his heart.
Dealing with the demonic black ants, which were individually weak but in large numbers, ordinary hunters couldn't do much. They couldn't kill more than a few at a time. The captain and other soldiers also brought special flamethrowers, but their killing efficiency was obviously not comparable to Tang Yu's.
Along the way, the waves of black ants they encountered in succession became Tang Yu's personal show.
Ever since he received the inheritance, he had never been so happy.
Attacking the black ant madly was so exciting!
…
…
After many turns and twists and turns, he finally understood what was going on.
The light stick vibrated again.
Xing Yue lowered her head to take a look. Her expression was serious and excited. "We're close to the Queen Ant."
There was a breeze blowing in front of them.
Everyone quickened their pace. After walking for a while, they suddenly stopped and stared in front of them, dumbfounded.
This was a huge underground space, and it was not completely dark. There were some strange green crystals on the rock walls that were emitting a faint light. If one looked closely, they could even see some large black ants waving their legs and digging out the green crystals embedded in the rock walls. They were moving them downwards.
On the surrounding rock walls, there were holes dug out by the black ants. Some were big and some were small. The location they were at was one of them.
From their point of view, these green dots were converging from all directions towards the same place.
These demonic black ants were organized!
Tang Yu was also a little surprised.
Except for the extraordinary level demonic beast he saw in Maple Leaf Town, he had never seen a demonic beast that had the ability to command and control other demonic beasts. Even the demonic beasts in the spirit stone mine pit who were affected by the giant tree didn't have the ability to command other demonic beasts.
Tang Yu didn't think the unseen Queen Ant had extraordinary level strength. This might be a unique characteristic of insects. Even after being demonized, they still retained their original level system and terrifying reproductive ability.
They were more difficult to deal with than ordinary demonic beasts.
He looked in the direction where the green dots were converging. Finally, at the end of the underground space, he saw a monster that was more than a large truck. The monster had a huge belly, a black body with brown stripes, short antennae, small chest and feet, and no wings.
"That's the Queen Ant!" Xing Yue said, confirming Tang Yu's guess.
The captain and the other soldiers were even more excited, but they were also a little worried. "The Queen Ant is so huge. I'm afraid it's not weak. And the black ants around it. I'm afraid we can't deal with them."
He looked at Tang Yu.
Obviously, he understood that Tang Yu was the one who made the decision. Along the way, he was also convinced of Tang Yu's strength.
At this time.
Hiss!
A sharp cry came. The sound seemed to penetrate people's eardrums.
Some of the weaker hunters, like his cousin, couldn't help but cover their ears tightly. They only felt their heads swell.
This sharp sound seemed to be a signal. Whether it was patrolling or transporting the demonic black ants, after hearing the sound, they all moved quickly towards Tang Yu's position.
Countless black ants swarmed out of the holes in the surrounding rock walls. They were densely packed.
Chopsticks sized, backpacks sized, suitcases sized, and even motorcycles sized …
This black ant army.
It was as if a huge black curtain was falling on them from all directions.
Even the well-trained captain and other soldiers were pale. Their hands holding the flamethrower couldn't stop trembling.
With such a large number of black ants, they couldn't see the end at a glance. How could they eliminate them? Even if the young man who could make flames could burn a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand black ants, what about hundreds of thousands, or millions?
He looked at the tunnel they came from.
Right now, this was their only chance of survival.
However, in the next moment, the captain's face turned even paler. He had already judged that the tunnel behind them was also swarmed with countless black ants.
They …
Were completely surrounded.
Tang Yu didn't release his signature flame sword. He seemed to have given up resistance.
He saw …
He swept his gaze around and seemed to sigh helplessly.
