"You guys wait here. I'll go into the underground river to take a look," Zhang Xiaohou said.
There were a lot of Dragon King Ants here, but it was obvious that the Dragon King Ants were only swimming along the river. This was not their nest.
"Isn't it too dangerous? The Cold Light Monarch could come back at any time," Tan Feng said.
"So, I need you to think of other ways to distract it."
There was not much time left. Zhang Xiaohou did not hesitate.
He activated his bracelet. A special light filled Zhang Xiaohou's body, turning into a light armor that clung tightly to his body. The smooth surface of the armor could greatly reduce the resistance of the current.
After diving into the deep underground river, the water was obviously denser. It was no different from being hit by a giant creature. Without the protection of the light armor, his bones would fall apart!
The Dragon King Ants were obviously not interested in living humans. They swam past Zhang Xiaohou, following the flow of the river. Even the Dragon King Ants deliberately avoided them.
Gradually, the Dragon King Ants could no longer be seen. Zhang Xiaohou knew that he was surrounded by these special and strange creatures, but it was no different from moving in the undercurrent.
The light could barely illuminate the area ahead. The light of the Deep Sea Broken Silver was also illuminated. Zhang Xiaohou felt like he was traveling through an endless space tunnel. It was pitch-black in front of him. The silver stars were everywhere, but he could never see the end.
…
"Where did these Dragon King Ants come from, and where are they going?" Zhang Xiaohou wondered.
It was a long time. The impact of the river did not stop. Zhang Xiaohou did not know how far he had swam. The signal with his men was completely cut off. He had no idea what was ahead of him and where it led to.
He was completely relying on the conviction of a soldier to persevere. As for how much time had passed, Zhang Xiaohou couldn't even feel it!
"Did I swim to the deep sea? Why is this river so long?" Zhang Xiaohou began to suspect that there was no end to the river.
He wanted to turn back.
In the end, he clenched his teeth and held on for a while longer.
Suddenly, the silver light in front of him became denser. Zhang Xiaohou hurriedly took out an illuminating pearl from his spatial bracelet.
He threw the Illumination Pearl forward. A ball of white light scattered in all directions. The light brilliantly illuminated everything around him. Zhang Xiaohou, who had not seen light for a long time, finally felt a little warm.
He was still surrounded by the same dark, smooth rocks at the bottom of the sea, which formed a long, narrow underground river. However, about three hundred meters in front of Zhang Xiaohou, a silver, enormous figure was standing there, emitting a pure luster!
At first, Zhang Xiaohou thought he had encountered a deep-sea silver beast. Just as he was feeling scared, he realized it wasn't a living creature.
In front of him was a silver mine!
It was embedded between the dark, smooth rocks of the seabed and stuck in the underwater river.
The size of the silver mine was fairly huge. Not only did it extend further into the sea, it even went deeper into the seabed, like a steel gate in a tunnel!
Such a huge silver mine was obviously formed naturally. Unfortunately, it was impossible for humans to go to such depths to collect the silver. Otherwise, they could use the silver mine to forge countless pieces of deep-sea silver equipment.
At the location of the silver mine, there was a hole. The powerful underground current was also gushing out from the silver mine. Between the hole and the deep sea underground river, there was a spiral vortex.
"Could it be that the Dragon King Ants' nest is inside the silver mine?"
"If that's the case, even a Forbidden Spell won't be able to kill all of them. The silver mine is basically a natural shelter for them."
"That doesn't sound right. The water is still flowing, which means the hole is connected to the silver mine … "
Zhang Xiaohou did not want to give up after coming so far.
Besides, the number of Dragon King Ants had obviously increased. Zhang Xiaohou felt like he was very close to what he was looking for.
Without any hesitation, he went straight into the hole in the silver mine.
But at that moment, a strange shadow was reflected on the surface of the silver ore. It was a long, writhing thing. If it were not for the reflection of the silver ore, Zhang Xiaohou would not have noticed that there was something behind his head!
"Whoosh!"
The long thing swung at him like the tail of a python.
Zhang Xiaohou immediately dodged it and quickly cast a Water Spell, setting up a Water Curtain in front of him.
The Water Curtain actually compressed the seawater nearby, turning it into a wall of liquid that was difficult to break through.
However, there were too many python-like things. They kept swinging at him, and soon broke through Zhang Xiaohou's Water Defense.
Zhang Xiaohou had no choice but to stick close to the seabed rock and throw a punch at it. The rock immediately rippled strangely and turned into a pillar, slamming into the shadow of the monster.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The monster made a very sharp sound. It was a strange sound that had never been heard on land.
As the rock pillar was smashed into pieces by the monster, Zhang Xiaohou finally saw the long thing clearly …
It was a tentacle covered in seaweed-like tentacles. Each of them was as thick as a ten-year-old tree, flexible and strong.
The monster's body was hidden behind the intertwining tentacles. Zhang Xiaohou could not see it clearly for the time being.
Just as Zhang Xiaohou thought it was a monster similar to a squid, the seaweed-like tentacles waving in front of him gradually returned to the monster's body …
It had a tall and straight body, proud and noble, like a female giant standing in the deep sea. It was covered in blue skin and had a sharp head.
However, this was its upper body.
The monster's lower body was made up of those strong and ferocious tentacles. They grew from the waist of the female giant. As all the tentacles closed and opened, it looked like its skirt was dancing in the water …
This was not a scene that could be considered beautiful. This monster was strange, abnormal, and ferocious to the extreme. Even if its overall outline was that of a woman, it was actually closer to a female deep sea ghost. Its appearance far exceeded the scope of human knowledge!
"Da da da, da da da da!"
Suddenly, the monster extended one of its tentacles and lightly tapped the seabed rock beside it, making a rhythm that only Zhang Xiaohou could understand.
