I'm not a psychopath!

Chapter 216: The Netherworld Appears

After saying that, Jiang Qing jumped into the cave and slowly descended along the cave wall.

The cave was dark and damp, with a musty smell in the air. Jiang Qing carefully avoided the ant colony and moved silently towards the depths of the cave.

He found that there were many passages in the cave, which were complicated and like a maze, but Jiang Qing was not worried because he had a way to find the queen ant's location.

Like a magic trick, he took out several paper cranes from his storage bag and attached a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to them.

This will allow you to gain vision of the paper cranes.

"go."

The paper crane in Jiang Qing's hand suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the intricate passage.

He hid himself behind a protruding rock and closed his eyes.

This feeling is amazing.

My eyes are clearly closed, but I can see things, except that the objects I see are only black and white, with no color.

With the help of the thousand paper cranes, Jiang Qing locked onto the location of the queen ant in just over ten minutes. It was a huge cave in the deepest part of the cave, where a large number of soldier ants gathered, guarding a huge queen ant.

Jiang Qing was delighted, he knew his chance had come.

He approached the queen ant silently while sending signals to his teammates outside.

"coming!"

Shen Chengxian, Luo Shui and others outside saw a yellow talisman spontaneously combusting and immediately reacted. After receiving the signal, they immediately took action.

They will make some noise to attract the attention of the ant colony and create opportunities for Jiang Qing.

……

Jiang Qing took the opportunity to sneak into the queen ant's cave and approached the queen ant quietly.

The queen ant was immersed in a sweet dream and was completely unaware of the approaching danger.

This huge piece of fat is simply a reproductive machine. It lays eggs even when it is asleep. Behind it are two worker ants who are responsible for carrying the eggs back and forth.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Qing's eyes. He drew out his sword and activated all his body skills.

A sword stabbed at the queen ant's vital point.

The queen ant suddenly woke up and let out a sharp roar, but it was too late. Jiang Qing's sword had already pierced into its body, severely injuring it.

The queen ant struggled for a few times, and her mountain-like body slowly stood up, but the next moment, wisps of sword energy emanated from her belly.

"boom!!"

The queen ant's stomach exploded.

He was about to leave when he suddenly felt a powerful breath coming from deep in the cave.

Oh no, there is an even more powerful being in the cave!

Jiang Qing's heart tightened, he knew he had to leave immediately.

He quickly performed the illusion spell, changed his breath, and at the same time moved his body to fly out of the cave.

At this moment, a deafening roar came from deep in the cave, and a giant ant, larger than the queen ant, rushed out.

This giant ant was completely black, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes. It was obviously a strong one in the ant colony.

When it saw Jiang Qing, it immediately let out a roar and pounced towards Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing was shocked. He knew that he could not fight this giant ant head-on and had to leave as soon as possible.

He mobilized all his magic power, increased his speed to the extreme, and rushed out of the cave.

The giant ants chased after them relentlessly, and every impact caused the cave to tremble.

Feeling the vibration coming from below, it seemed a little strange. It didn't sound like ants crawling, but more like
"Jiang Qing seems to be in big trouble. We can't just sit back and watch." Shen Chengxian clenched his fists, worry flashing in his eyes.

Bailiye also nodded in agreement, "Yes, we must go down to rescue them."

Luo Shui raised a practical question, "The cave is densely populated by ants. How can we break through and reach Jiang Qing's location?"

Qin Xiaosui's eyes flashed with determination, "No matter what, we have to give it a try."

Luo Hua made a suggestion, "We can enter the cave from different directions to distract the ant colony, and then look for an opportunity to reunite with Jiang Qing."

Everyone agreed, and they acted quickly, each choosing a direction and carefully entering the cave.

The cave was dark and humid, and the ants were surging around like a black wave. Everyone collided with the ants and started a fierce battle.

However, the number of ants in the colony was too large, and even they could not resist. Although each attack could knock down a few soldier ants, more soldier ants would swarm up.

"This won't work!" Shen Chengxian said anxiously.

"He's right. These thousands of soldier ants... let alone people at our level, even if everyone were to advance one level, it would be difficult to withstand them. We're done for now."

"Fight."

The noise of the fight grew louder and louder, and the entire cave seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Stones and dust continued to fall from the top of the cave, and the whole space was filled with an atmosphere of tension and danger.

At this moment, Qin Xiaosui's eyes lit up, and her spiritual sense was released, detecting a hole underground.

"Look everyone, there is space underground!" Qin Xiaosui shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone also sent out their spiritual senses. There was indeed a hole under the ground, and it was very deep, at least the spiritual sense could not reach the bottom. But what was the use?

Qin Xiaosui took a horse stance, took a deep breath, raised his fist, and then smashed it down hard.

Qin Xiaosui punched with all his strength.

"Boom--!!" The noise continued for a long time, the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed, the cracks on the ground continued to expand and became bottomless.

The soldier ants began to fall, making sharp roars.

Qin Xiaosui himself almost fell into the bottomless abyss, but fortunately Luo Shui acted in time and rescued him at the critical moment.

"That was a close call!" Qin Xiaosui patted his chest with lingering fear.

Luo Shui stuck his head out and observed the crack. "This hole may be our chance to break through the ant colony. It helps us stop the pursuers, but what about Jiang Qing?"

"Almost the entire underground cave is about to collapse. I'm afraid Brother Jiang will not escape the impact. But the good news is that these giant ants can't fly." Baili Ye also stuck his head out and looked at the dark crack.

"The giant ants will probably turn into meat patties if they fall down, but Brother Jiang can fly with his sword, so he may not be hurt. Let's wait for a while. If Brother Jiang doesn't come up, we'll go down!

Never give up on anyone!"

……

In the dim cave, Jiang Qing stood up, and in front of him was a human-shaped earth pit.

Well, he smashed it himself.

The sudden ground collapse caused him and the most powerful giant ant to fall down together, one died and the other was injured.

The injury was caused by a strange field that appeared when he was more than a hundred meters away from the bottom of the rift, prohibiting the air from entering, and he could not fly.

Fortunately, with his current physical condition, he could still hold on for more than a hundred meters. As for the giant ant with a strong aura, it was not so lucky. From such a high altitude, it accelerated all the way down...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Jiang Qing smacked his lips and looked at the pile of mud beside him. He took out the fragment of the giant ant's luck, and then the fragment turned into a burst of energy and sank into his body.

No feeling.

The strange thing is that even though many pieces of luck have been obtained, it seems far from enough.

“How much is needed?
How come there is only this much debris for such a big piece? " Jiang Qing frowned, but he didn't think about it for the time being. What he wanted to think about now was how to get out.

Jiang Qing walked forward. Because there was only one passage in the cave, although he could climb to the outside of the restricted flying area and then fly up, there was obviously a secret underground.

What is this mysterious no-fly zone?
You know, no-fly zones are usually only in cities, especially royal cities.

Otherwise, if you are flying over my head every day, does the emperor still have any shame?

But the problem came again.

This is underground!
"This depth is probably more than two thousand meters..." Jiang Qing muttered to himself.

In addition to exploring the secrets underground, there is actually another reason, that is, there is blood of the queen ant left on the ground. Its butt was blown off, but it did not die.

And it fell down, but as long as you follow the blood trail, you can always find it.

To cut the grass, you have to uproot it, and there are also fragments of luck to be obtained. Jiang Qing feels that this is simply free.

After walking underground for about ten minutes, the view suddenly became clear.

This is a dark and empty underground space. Even if Jiang Qing extends his spiritual perception to the limit, he cannot detect the edge. In other words... the diameter of this space is at least over a thousand meters.

“There is a real problem.”

Jiang Qing frowned slightly, walked to the wall, and gently rubbed the surface of the wall with his hand.

Unlike the limestone walls inside the cave, this vast flat wall is built with blue-gray bricks.

When it comes into contact with the skin, it conveys a slight coolness. There is no gap at all between the bricks, as if they were grown together, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite.

"Is this man-made?" Jiang Qing had a question in his mind.

He looked at the bricks carefully and found some strange patterns engraved on them. These patterns emitted a faint light and formed a complex formation.

This formation not only maintains the stability of this space, but also forms the forbidden area.

Jiang Qing's mind moved, and he began to try to analyze these patterns, trying to understand the principles of this formation. He was quite knowledgeable about formations, and after a period of observation and thinking, he gradually grasped some key points.

He discovered that the core of this formation lies in a special energy circulation, which forms a stable energy field through the clever arrangement of these blue-gray bricks.

Jiang Qing withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

He knew that the secrets hidden in this underground space might be far beyond his imagination.

Every step he took next had to be cautious as he continued to walk towards the bloodstains on the ground.

He was tracking.

While expanding his spiritual awareness to the limit, he explored everything around him.

The spiritual consciousness spread out like water waves, covering an area of ​​dozens of meters around.

He could feel subtle changes in the air flow, temperature, humidity, etc. in the underground space, and any abnormality could not escape his perception.

"This place is not simple. There might be danger." Jiang Qing was secretly alert.

Gradually, the bloodstains on the ground became less and less, and the traces became fainter and fainter. Jiang Qing had to slow down and carefully look for every possible clue.

But suddenly, Jiang Qing's eyes lit up, as if he saw something, and he showed a look of surprise.

Not far ahead, he found an unusual bloodstain on the ground.

This bloodstain was much brighter than the surrounding bloodstains, and its area was also larger. More importantly, there were some strange objects scattered around this bloodstain.

Jiang Qing walked forward quickly, squatted down and observed carefully.

He discovered that these strange objects were some broken shells. The shells were very hard and had some strange patterns on the surface.

Jiang Qing's heart moved, and he realized that these shells were most likely from the queen ant.

But the key point is... the queen ant may have been attacked in some way while escaping, causing her shell to break and blood to splatter.

He continued to move forward in the direction of the blood and shell fragments, and the tension and anticipation in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He knew that he might be close to the queen ant's location, and that unknown thing.

He could feel that the atmosphere in the underground space was becoming increasingly oppressive, as if some powerful being was secretly watching.

Jiang Qing gripped the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

At the same time, his mind was also thinking rapidly, analyzing possible situations and response strategies.

"what is that?"

Just as Jiang Qing was pondering the secret of the underground space, his spiritual sense suddenly touched a solid object, which seemed to be another wall?

A strong sense of curiosity and vigilance surged in his heart. This unknown wall gave him a different feeling from the previous one.

There was a soft "squeak" sound.

A flame flickered in his hand, and a faint light danced in the darkness.

Jiang Qing blew gently, and the flame seemed to be given life. It grew rapidly and eventually turned into a fireball like a small sun, illuminating the underground space.

In this sudden light, Jiang Qing finally saw clearly the scene in front of him.

A city wall, no, to be more precise, a city gate, stood majestically in front of him. The wall was jet black in color, and its surface seemed to have been eroded by time with countless traces left on it, making it look ancient and strange.

Above the city gate is a stone door head with some vague patterns carved on it, which seem to depict some ancient legend or history.

Jiang Qing was even more shocked by the huge and majestic bronze door. The door was extremely large, and its surface was covered with verdigris, but it still could not conceal its grandeur and solemnity.

However, what happened next shocked Jiang Qing terribly.

Suddenly, a number of distorted faces appeared on the bronze door. They looked painful and seemed to be screaming silently.

These faces kept changing, sometimes turning into ferocious animal faces, as if they were about to break through the constraints of the bronze door and pounce on Jiang Qing.

An inexplicable fear surged in Jiang Qing's heart. He could feel the strong resentment and anger contained in these faces.

He shook his head quickly.

In an instant, the world became clear again and all the strange phenomena disappeared.

I'm afraid there is something terrible hidden behind this door, which may even be closely related to the secret of the entire battle of destiny.

He slowly stepped back a few steps, tightened his grip on the sword, and stared at the bronze door vigilantly.

Jiang Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

"What on earth is this..."

This city wall, this city gate, he suddenly thought of something... the eternal underworld!
