The deep tunnel was dark, but it was not completely dark, just gloomy. On both sides of the uneven salt crystal floor were Salt Ant eggs. These eggs were the size of an adult's fist. They were clustered together and emitted a dim light. They were like night pearls or strange flowers.
Zhou Xiaohai turned into a golden stream of light and quickly passed through the tunnel. The further he went, the denser the Salt Ant eggs on both sides. A strange green hazy light was reflected in the passageway.
But compared to the dark tunnel, Zhou Xiaohai's heart was bright and he could not help but want to laugh.
After living for so many years, ascending from the lower realm and spending who knows how many thousands of years in the Immortal World, he had long cultivated to the point where he could not show his emotions. But this time, he was really happy!
Originally, he was not very willing to enter the cave to search for Ye Kong. Although his cultivation was not low, it was still dangerous to enter the cave. But he had no choice. He was the one who lost Ye Kong. The Family Head did not punish him, so he had to make up for his mistake, right?
So he was willing on the surface, but he was still very unhappy in his heart. When he heard that Tao Zhenhua was dead, he was still a little worried in his heart. The fox grieves for the rabbit's death.
But now, he was really happy! Because no one would have thought that there was treasure in the deepest part of the nest! There was a great treasure!
So he scared the others away and came alone to search for the treasure! But he also knew that those guys were very smart and might go back to report to the Family Head.
"Hmph! Go and report. Once I get the treasure, I'll leave. I'll leave this hateful Salt Five Star and the White Hair Region! The Immortal World is so big, how can there not be a place for me? "Zhou Xiaohai could not help but talk to himself.
Some people would forget everything when they were happy, but some people were more cautious when they were happy! Zhou Xiaohai was the latter!
As he flew, he put his immortal sense behind him.
"The four of them did not follow, and neither did Ye Kong. If they meet and fight, that would be the best!" Zhou Xiaohai snorted coldly and said to himself, "If you come up, I will definitely kill you!"
In fact, before he parted ways with the four of them, Zhou Xiaohai had already vaguely sensed that Ye Kong was following him. However, he was also very scheming. Not only did he not go back to kill Ye Kong, but he also did not warn his four subordinates. He wanted them to kill each other so that he could obtain the treasure by himself!
Zhou Xiaohai rushed towards the depths of the Ant Nest, and in another place, his four subordinates were also rushing over! The four subordinates knew that if they went through the main passage, they would definitely be discovered by Zhou Xiaohai's Immortal Sense. After all, Zhou Xiaohai was already a mid-level Perfected Golden Immortal, and his Immortal Sense wasn't something they could compare to.
Therefore, they did not use the main passageway. Instead, they used the Immortal Array to rush into the depths of the Ant Nest through the surrounding small passageways. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaohai thought that he wouldn't be able to use it, so when they parted ways, he gave them the immortal formation.
In the belly of the mountain, there were countless thick layers of salt crystals. Zhou Xiaohai's immortal senses had been greatly weakened, so he did not discover them.
However, their speed was much slower than Zhou Xiaohai's. They walked through the small passageway, and because of the Immortal Array, they couldn't use the Golden Light Escape Technique. Along the way, there were many salt ants attacking them, so their speed was very slow.
However, the slowest one was not them, but Ye Kong who was hanging at the back! Ye Kong regretted it in his heart. He had been in the cave for more than a year, but he had not explored the cave even once. Otherwise, he would have obtained the treasure long ago!
However, he was not in a hurry. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Today, I will be the oriole and catch all of you in one fell swoop!
Not long after, Zhou Xiaohai, who was walking at the front, finally saw light flashing in front of the passageway. This light was colorful, and it was no longer the original green light.
"Here we are!" Zhou Xiaohai was overjoyed. He quickly sped up, and a golden light shot straight!
At the end of the passageway, Zhou Xiaohai's golden light landed on the ground. When he looked inside, his eyes widened in shock. Even though he had already covered this place with his immortal senses, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
In front of him was a huge pit with a radius of a thousand feet. The pit was ten feet deep … and in the pit lay the corpse of a giant! This giant was actually hundreds of feet tall. Lying there, it was like a small mountain ridge!
The dead giant's head was facing the opposite side, and his feet were facing the passageway. Zhou Xiaohai looked down and found that the feet were several times taller than his height!
The most amazing thing was that on the giant's forehead, there was a huge vine growing out of the glabella. This huge vine had grown for an unknown number of years, and it was as thick as a 10,000-year-old tree. The branches of the huge vine emitted a strange five-colored brilliance, but there were no leaves. Therefore, even though Zhou Xiaohai was experienced and knowledgeable, he did not know what kind of plant it was.
Although there were no leaves on the huge vine, there were many grape-like "fruits"!
The reason why there were quotation marks was because these "fruits" were not real fruits! The bunches of "grapes" were actually huge ant nests!
And in the center of the huge vine, there was an incomparably huge ant nest. The ant nest and the passageway under Zhou Xiaohai's feet were actually connected by a huge suspended bridge! The huge bridge emitted a brilliance that resembled salt crystals. Obviously, it was constructed by hundreds of millions of salt ants mixed with salt crystal powder, specially for the queen ant to walk!
"I'm rich, I'm rich!" Zhou Xiaohai muttered to himself. He had even forgotten his joy. He was too excited. Not to mention joy, he had even forgotten his own surname!
This giant was an ancient god! The corpse of an ancient god! It was said that some people made a fortune by obtaining a bottle of god's blood, but in front of him was the corpse of an ancient god! Such a huge body, how much blood did it have! Also, there were treasures of ancient gods and materials of ancient gods! If he obtained all of them, ascension would no longer be a dream!
Just like the people in the lower realm, the people in this realm also pursued ascension, a second ascension, to the Divine Realm!
But just as Zhou Xiaohai was grinning, there was a commotion in the largest ant nest in front of him, and a huge jade-white worm rushed over from the suspended rainbow bridge! At the same time, all the hanging ant nests were alarmed. Countless salt ants crawled along the branches of the huge vine, climbed the walls, and madly attacked Zhou Xiaohai in the passageway!
Boom!
The four subordinates who were walking in the small passageway with the immortal array were all alarmed by this sound.
"Oh no, I'm afraid Zhou Xiaohai is fighting with the immortal beast guarding the treasure! Hurry! "the leading upper-level Golden Immortal said anxiously.
If they were one step slower and the treasure was taken by Zhou Xiaohai, they would be dead if they went again.
Boom! Another earth-shattering sound came from ahead, shaking the salt crystals on the stone walls of the small passageway like dust.
A mid-level Golden Immortal said, "Since Zhou Xiaohai is fighting with the immortal beast guarding the treasure, we don't have to worry about being discovered by him. Why don't we go to the main passageway and take a look?"
The other three thought it was reasonable, so they stopped looking for a way and dug directly against the wall. Soon, they dug a big hole leading to the main passageway.
Entering the main passageway again, a mid-level Golden Immortal asked, "If Zhou Xiaohai and the immortal beast guarding the treasure are evenly matched, who should we kill?"
The leading upper-level Golden Immortal laughed. "Of course we kill Zhou Xiaohai first! It's best if they die together, then we can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor! "
He laughed and wanted to fly away, but when he saw that the others were not moving, he stopped and asked, "Why don't you go?"
The lowest-level Golden Immortal said, "Senior Brother, if we kill Zhou Xiaohai, you will be the one with the highest cultivation here. Then you will …"
The leading Golden Immortal immediately understood what they were afraid of and swore, "The treasures we obtain this time will be divided equally among the four of us. I will not be greedy. If I go against this, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!" Then he spat out a mouthful of saliva and performed an immortal art.
This was the Immortal Realm's poison oath, which was said to come true. The others also swore, spat out saliva, and performed an immortal art.
Then, four golden lights shot out and flew into the depths of the passageway.
When the four of them arrived, they found that Zhou Xiaohai was already retreating. Salt Ants flooded in from all directions. The ground and walls were covered in layers of salt ants. Zhou Xiaohai was in a sorry state. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Energy he comprehended was fire-type. Therefore, the power of his flamethrower was greater, and the immortal elemental energy consumed was lesser. That was how he managed to defend himself.
Although the salt ants could withstand it, there was still the queen ant behind. Humans could spit, but so could it! With a slap of its tail, it spat out a large mouthful of liquid. This dark green liquid was extremely corrosive, and wherever it fell, a large pit would be formed.
Zhou Xiaohai kept using the flamethrower in his hand, and his body was still jumping around! He was dodging the queen ant's corrosive liquid.
The four Golden Immortals came over to take a look, but they stood far away, not knowing which side to help.
Then they heard Zhou Xiaohai shout, "Brothers, you're here, that's great! I was just about to send you a sword immortal message! Come help me, we'll kill the queen ant and snatch the ancient god's treasure! "
The four of them did not move, and the one with the lowest cultivation said mockingly, "Senior Zhou, where are the giant killer ants you mentioned? Why didn't we see them, did you kill them? "
The four of them laughed. At this moment, Zhou Xiaohai couldn't care less about his reputation. He begged, "Brothers, I admit that I was greedy and insatiable when I wanted to take all the treasures for myself. I apologize to you. For the sake of us being brothers …"
The leader snorted, "Now you call us brothers, if you had the upper hand now, I'm afraid the four of us would be dead!"
Boom! Another ball of green liquid flew over, and Zhou Xiaohai hurriedly dodged it, yelling, "If I die, do you have the ability to deal with the queen ant? Right now, we're in the same boat, kill the queen ant and get the treasure! "
When the four heard this, their hearts sank, thinking that Zhou Xiaohai's words made sense, there were too many salt ants here, even if Zhou Xiaohai died, it would be impossible for the four of them to kill their way in. However, they knew that Zhou Xiaohai was very cunning, and his words could not be trusted.
At this time, they heard Zhou Xiaohai sneer, "I'm laughing at your stupidity, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Do you know that Ye Kong is already here? These salt ants will not attack him, wait for him to come, and he will take the treasure! "
