After all, the most ancient human civilization on Earth was only around five thousand years old, and as a new generation of humans after the Dark Ages, Li Yunmu had never experienced such a long history.
But this wasn't important. What was important was that Li Yunmu had grasped the most important part of the system's words, and that was that no living being had entered the cave for more than eight thousand six hundred years.
Why was that?
This unusual occurrence caused Li Yunmu to feel a hint of panic in his heart.
The main reason was that there were too many unknown and mysterious occurrences happening in the Origin World. In this vast and boundless world with a long history, there were too many mysterious occurrences.
Let alone someone like Li Yunmu, even a deity who had truly stepped into the deity realm wouldn't be able to boast and claim that they could run amok in the Origin World as they pleased.
An appropriate amount of reverence was a must; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Since he had discovered that the giant ants didn't dare to approach the entrance of the cave no matter what, Li Yunmu naturally wouldn't keep a close watch on them.
He was already thinking about the unknown secrets in the depths of the cave.
There was only one passage leading to the depths of the cave. Li Yunmu didn't take the risk and only glanced at the depths. He discovered that because the passage was extremely long, apart from echoes, there was only silence.
He took out a silkworm cocoon-like object.
Then, he made a cut on his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the cocoon-like object.
Before long, the sound of teeth grinding could be heard coming from inside the cocoon. Before long, a fist-sized black wasp broke out of the cocoon.
It was a small creature which Li Yunmu had bought in passing in Whale City. Its name was Pathfinder Wasp.
It had an innate keen intuition toward danger and was most suitable for exploration. What was even rarer was that apart from its innate keen intuition, it also had an innate ability to communicate on the mental plane. Because of that, the flux refiners of this world refined them and sealed them inside the cocoons.
If explorers or adventurers encountered a similar problem, they could drip their blood on the cocoon. Thus, once the Pathfinder Wasp hatched, it would immediately treat the person who dripped the blood as its closest parent.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely obedient.
Naturally, there were also exceptions, such as encountering some Pathfinder Wasp with unusual temperament who wouldn't listen to one's instructions. But such situations were extremely rare.
Moreover, Li Yunmu had bought ten of them just in case. He hadn't expected that he would have to use them so soon.
When the Pathfinder Wasp broke out of the cocoon, it saw Li Yunmu and intimately flapped its wings to fly to his side. Li Yunmu extended his hand to catch it.
Caressing it to show their intimacy, he thought for a moment and took out an extreme grade power grain to feed it.
After some thought, he took out an extreme grade power grain and fed it to the Pathfinder Wasp.
That's right. Don't be fooled by its small size, and don't be fooled by the harmless name of a pathfinder bee by the humans of this world. In fact, this pathfinder bee actually had another name, and that was the "Dark Demon Killer Bee".
This was because they only spawned in one place, and that was the Dark Demon Abyss Canyon. Moreover, they liked to fly out of their nest at night to kill and hunt prey.
Thus, its other name, Abyss Devil Black Killing Wasp, was actually its true nature. As for the name Pathfinder Wasp? That was the name given to it by humans after they were captured and refined.
All in all, this seemingly harmless little fellow was actually included in the category of ferocious beasts. It was just that it wasn't included as a single individual, but as a group.
As long as there were thirty Abyss Devil Black Killing Wasp, they would have the deterrence of a vicious beast, and from a certain point of view, they would be even more ferocious.
"Alright, go in for me. Tell me, where does this place lead to and what is inside?" After feeding it the power grain, the pathfinder wasp reluctantly left Li Yunmu's palm under the instructions of its' parent '. It flapped its small wings like a fighter jet.
A deep buzzing sound echoed throughout the cave before it disappeared into the depths of the passage.
After doing this, Li Yunmu immediately sat down and began to inspect the condition of Li Yun and the others. Shadows didn't feel pain, but after careful inspection, he found that almost all of them were injured.
However, because the shadows were special creatures, they weren't affected. As long as their limbs weren't broken, it would be fine.
Ten minutes had passed, and Li Yunmu immediately congealed Li Ju.
After careful inspection, he found that apart from Li Yun and Li Lan, all the other shadows had died at least once.
Li De and Li Mei even died twice in battle.
They had been surrounded by the sea of ants and had their defenses broken through by their bites.
Under ordinary circumstances, given Li Yunmu's high defense, no matter how many times he attacked, he wouldn't be able to break through. But if the shadows were killed after their defenses were broken through, then they would die.
In fact, this also proved that even if it wasn't the larger male ants, even if it was an ordinary giant ant colony, the biting force of their mouthparts was actually very terrifying.
Only when their defenses were close to being broken would their defenses be broken through.
This discovery caused Li Yunmu to curse the freaks of the Origin World in his heart. He had been looking forward to the dimensional space for the first time, but the island was filled with giant ants.
They had broken through the absolute defense he had always been proud of.
Only heaven knew that there were even more terrifying giant insect monsters on the island.
Once Li Yunmu sensed that the crisis had passed, he immediately instructed Li Mei and the other three shadows, "Alright, leave half of the people to assist the two devil kings in guarding the cave entrance. Don't be careless. The other half will start a fire and cook."
There was no one else who would want shadows to start a fire and cook.
But Li Yun, Li Mei, and the others were the only eight who had undergone the transformation. Moreover, they had lived for a long time, so this wasn't a problem.
In fact, as long as Li Yun, Li Feng, and the others were in human form, apart from not being able to speak and not being able to give birth like humans, they weren't much different from humans.
Moreover, because they had stayed by Li Yunmu's side for a long time, the eight shadows had more or less adopted some of his lifestyle.
Starting a fire and cooking was extremely normal for Li Mei and Li Lan. They were even more accustomed to their master's lifestyle.
Even if he was in the most vile wilderness, as long as there wasn't any danger, Li Yunmu wouldn't abandon his lifestyle.
After sitting down, Li Yunmu waited for the pathfinding bees to return while his consciousness entered his consciousness sea. At this moment, the scene of Wang Yan, Zheng Quan, and Zhang Yuan appeared in his consciousness sea.
That's right, although Li Yunmu had volunteered to explore the forest, how could he lose sight of Zheng Quan?
The eleventh shadow that he had condensed not long ago had already quietly merged with Zheng Quan's figure, monitoring and tracking everything that Zheng Quan was doing.
This time, it was really like a shadow following the body.
In this world, what could be more suitable than a shadow to follow someone? They didn't even need to make any extra preparations. They only needed to turn themselves back into a shadow and blend into the shadow of the person following them. This was already the best tracking technique in the world, the Shadow Following Technique.
