In the cramped corridor, the deep darkness pressed heavily around them as if it had substance. Even the light from the flame at Hu Xiaoyun's fingertips seemed pale and feeble.

Wu Bin's death was like a dark cloud, shrouding everyone's minds. In the busy battle before, they had no time to think about it, but now it suddenly became quiet, and some messy thoughts filled their minds.

.

The companions with whom they had been chatting and imagining the future together not long ago had suddenly turned into a pile of bones in front of their eyes. While they were lamenting, they were more afraid of the possibility of facing the same situation.

They had fallen into this deep pit in a hurry, and all the luggage they had packed were scattered all over the ground. They were deeply buried by the stones and soil that fell together, and no trace was left.

"It would be great if those luggages were still there, but it's a pity that there are so many dried meats..." Du Jiujiu felt the remaining energy in her body and sighed in a low voice.

After the intense consumption just now, the energy in her body is now less than 50%, and she will have to face an unknown powerful creature next. If she can have some mutant bird jerky that can restore energy at this time, she can supplement it a little.

, their chance of survival may be greatly increased.

"Jiujiu, I still have some dried meat here, take it! I have always been in the habit of eating snacks and always carry some food with me..." Xiaowen took out a piece of dried meat from her pants pocket with some embarrassment.

He handed the dried bird meat to Du Jiujiu.

"You just consumed the most. These will replenish your strength. We will have to rely on you for the next battle!" Guoguo was worried that Du Jiujiu would not accept it, so she quickly added from the side.

Du Jiujiu was stunned for a moment and looked at the others who nodded to her, so she no longer hesitated and took the dried meat carefully and stuffed it into her mouth.

At this critical moment of life and death, every ounce of energy becomes extremely precious. She is not the only one who needs energy for protection. They are willing to give all the dried meat to themselves, which means they place their hopes of life on themselves.

At this time, Du Jiujiu felt as if there was a heavy burden on her shoulders, which was pressure and the motivation for her to fight hard.

After eating these pieces of dried meat, a trace of warmth slowly spread from the lower abdomen to the whole body. Although it was not as good as it was in its heyday, it was much better than before.

The ant monsters behind them might dig a hole at any time and attack them again. No one dared to delay any longer, and continued to walk forward with the flickering light of the fire.

"That creature is right in front. It is much more powerful than those ant monsters just now. Don't take it lightly!" The closer Xiaowen got to the creature in front, the stronger the feeling that her mental power was being blocked. She could only vaguely

I feel that the creature is very strong, but I don't know anything else about it.

As a few people continued to move forward, the originally narrow corridor gradually became wider, and the smell of corruption became stronger. After a while, a giant lair appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"This...this is!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing clearly what was going on inside the lair through the firelight.

Not to mention the insect remains piled up here. Compared to the deep and narrow corridor just now, the huge nest in front of us is like a palace. Countless ant eggs the size of light golden footballs are scattered around the nest in disorder, and in the light of the fire

It reflects soft golden light under the illumination.

In the center of the nest, there lay a huge ant. Its shell was not ordinary black, but light golden like the extremely fast ant monster that attacked Wu Bin before.

The difference is that the previous ant monster was very petite, but the arms of an adult man were shorter. The ant monster in front of me is more than two meters long, with thin wings on its back, and its antennae and six legs are slightly short.

It seems that she is the queen of this group of mutant ants.

After hearing the sound, the pair of short antennae on the head of the golden queen ant began to swing regularly, apparently discovering the intruders.

"The exit is right behind it!" Xiaowen stretched out her hand and pointed to the back of the queen ant.

Du Jiujiu followed her gaze and saw a cave entrance that could accommodate two people walking side by side, lying quietly behind the queen ant. A faint light shone in from the other side of the cave, illuminating at the same time,

And what hope they have in life.

"Okay, let's go!!" Du Jiujiu didn't want to waste any more precious time, so she immediately jumped up, took the long knife in her hand in mid-air and slashed at the waist of the queen ant.

At the same time, the fireball in Hu Xiaoyun's hand had condensed and formed, and it attacked the ant queen together with Du Jiujiu's attack.

Although the queen ant was larger in size, her movements were not cumbersome at all. At the critical moment, she instantly twisted her body and aimed her hard mouthparts at the two of them.

After resisting, the crisp sound of the blow and the explosion of the fireball sounded in the lair at the same time. Seeing that the blow did not hit the vital point, Du Jiujiu used the huge force from the long knife to do a backflip and retreat.

Although the queen ant's life was not in danger, it was still painful from their attacks. She raised her huge, extremely hard mouthparts and attacked Du Jiujiu who was closest to her.

Du Jiujiu was about to dodge when suddenly there was a sharp stabbing pain in her mind, causing her movements to freeze for a moment.

In just this moment, it was too late to escape, so Du Jiujiu had to hurriedly hold the long knife across her chest. Then, with a roar, her body was suddenly knocked away by the queen ant, and her head was thrown away.

She hit the rock on the cave wall hard. Blood immediately flowed down her forehead, and her vision gradually became blurred.

At the same time that Du Jiujiu was knocked down, the queen ant's abdomen suddenly expanded, and then a stream of highly corrosive acid shot out from its mouth, spraying straight towards Du Jiujiu, who was unable to dodge.

dividing line

There is something I want to explain to you here.

Under normal circumstances, the queen ant's nest is usually located lower in the ant nest, but our queen ant here is closer to the ground.

Dear friends, you can understand that the queen ant who was originally located below did not move her nest downward after evolution. And those worker ants had no choice but to dig downward because they wanted to continue to expand their territory. Therefore, the queen ant arrived instead

What about a position closer to the ground?
