"This … this … this isn't an underground lava cave … this is … an ant's nest!!!" Hayashikawa's mind was filled with the scene he had just seen. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Two kilometers underground, a huge red ant was hibernating beside a vast magma lake. Its body was almost a thousand meters long, and there were fiery red eggs all around it.
Some of these eggs had already hatched, and what crawled out of them was a type of red ant that was half a meter long. These ants fed on lava, and as they swallowed lava, dense red patterns would appear on the surface of their bodies.
Hayashikawa finally understood what those narrow tunnels behind the rock wall that he had seen with his Supercilious Eyes were for. Those were the tunnels that these red ants crawled through.
"That ant that's a thousand meters long should be the queen. From the terrifying aura it's emitting, it's at least at the Nascent Soul Stage! Damn it, doesn't the Lin Family know about the existence of this thing? "Hayashikawa's face was extremely ugly.
If it wasn't for the fact that the queen seemed to be in a deep sleep, they would have all died here. There was no chance of survival at all.
The Lin Family didn't treat them as humans at all!
"No wonder we found those shredded corpses earlier. These ants must have used those narrow tunnels to hunt for food." Hayashikawa felt a lingering fear at the thought of it. They were running around in this giant's nest. If they were careless and woke up the giant below, all of them would die.
"Hayashikawa, what's wrong? Let's go! " Zhang Leyang and the other two had already walked more than ten meters. When they realized that Hayashikawa wasn't following them, they immediately waved their hands.
"Mm!" Hayashikawa replied in a low voice. He didn't want to stay in this lava ant's nest at all. He didn't even want to collect the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus anymore. He just wanted to leave this damned place as soon as possible.
"Let's go! It's dangerous here! "Hayashikawa increased his speed and pulled the three of them towards the surface.
"What happened?" Zhang Leyang asked when he saw that Hayashikawa's expression wasn't right.
The three of them were also very surprised. During the time they had spent together, Hayashikawa was a very steady person. He even had a calmness that didn't match his age. However, at this moment, Hayashikawa's fear was written all over his face. Even the three of them who were thick-skinned could see it.
Lin Chuan shook his head and said with a gloomy face, "After you go up, quickly leave this cave. Don't stay around here. Run to the edge of the hunting ground, understand?"
"Why? Although't here, t's, t's t's's't't't's's's't t t's's t t's's t's t's's's's's's't's's
Although the strength of the three of them was not bad, they did not hunt many spirit beasts. They did not have the ability like Hayashikawa's Byakugan, who could easily find suitable spirit beasts to hunt. Moreover, there was once when they encountered a strong group of three and were ruthlessly exploited. Only then did they decide to enter the lava cave and risk it all.
At this moment, Hayashikawa wanted them to return empty-handed. How could the three of them agree?
Hayashikawa frowned. He didn't know how to explain it. Could he say that he saw a one-kilometer-long Original Infant Stage Queen Ant underground? Not to mention that no one believed him, even if someone believed him, so what? If this matter were to spread, it would not benefit Hayashikawa at all. He might even be captured and used as a lab rat for research.
"Let's go up first!" Hayashikawa said vaguely. In any case, his Supercilious Eye could see where there were Scarlet Flame Red Lotuses. When the time came, all he had to do was to bring the three of them over to pick some.
After galloping for about one kilometer, Hayashikawa finally found a suitable place, so he led the three of them in that direction.
From Hayashikawa's Supercilious Eye, he could see five Scarlet Flame Red Lotuses growing in a cave in that tunnel. Moreover, the place was not very hidden. As long as the three of them passed by there and pretended to find it by accident, it would be fine.
Hayashikawa's speed could be very fast, but in order to keep up with the three of them and not expose his strength, he did not fully burst out. He was just about the same as the three of them.
When they were about one hundred meters away from the place where the Scarlet Flame Red Lotuses grew, Hayashikawa deliberately slowed down and said, "After running for so long, everyone must be a little tired. Let's take a break and walk slowly!"
Hayashikawa's words immediately got the three of them to agree. They were also forcefully holding on, not wanting to appear too weak in front of Hayashikawa, so they did not speak up to rest. Now that Hayashikawa had spoken up, they immediately took advantage of the situation.
From the previous conversation, Hayashikawa understood that the three of them were originally from the same family. Other than Zhang Leyang, the fatter one was called Zhang Wei, and the skinnier one was called Zhang Mo.
They were originally from a large family in a small town. If the disaster did not happen, they would be studying in a school. However, the things that happened later on completely changed their fates. Not only was their family destroyed, they were also thrown here as orphans by Hayashikawa.
The only fortunate thing was that the three of them were not too bad, so they were able to survive until now. Moreover, they had a chance to pass this test. As long as they could pass the test, they would have a place in the Lin family, and their future would be guaranteed. This was also the reason why they were willing to take the risk here.
Otherwise, with Zhang Leyang and the other two's personalities, they would never have come to this place and risk their lives.
"Look!! It's the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus! "Zhang Wei's shout instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"It's true, it's true! We actually found the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus here!" Zhang Leyang shouted happily.
The corner of Hayashikawa's mouth slightly curled up. This could be considered a gift from him to the three of them. At least, the scholarly aura on their bodies made him feel as if he was in a different world.
"Let me harvest it!" Hayashikawa said. He immediately activated the Immortal Technique Chakra in his palm and walked towards the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus.
Hayashikawa's actions caused the originally excited three of them to change their expressions. It was not that they were unwilling to share with Hayashikawa, but they were afraid that Hayashikawa would take them all away. From the beginning to the end, they had never thought of killing Hayashikawa and monopolizing the Scarlet Flame Red Lotus.
"I don't need a single one, I'll give them all to you! Our team already has enough Neidans, and we've also collected some Scarlet Flame Red Lotuses. It's more than enough to pass the test! "Hayashikawa's following words dispelled all of their worries.
Although Hayashikawa's back was facing the three of them, he could still see their expressions and movements with his Supercilious Eyes. If Zhang Leyang wanted to kill him now, it would be the best time, but the three of them did not have any intention to do so. "He seems to have a good heart. He didn't completely turn evil in this place. He's worth befriending …"
Hayashikawa thought to himself. Then, he turned his gaze and looked outside the cave. Three hundred meters away, two groups of people were approaching. Most of them were above the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and they were the ones who had already passed the test.
