I look so handsome like this. I will have to kowtow to myself when I look in the mirror tomorrow morning!

"Xiao Tingting, do you think this snowman your brother made is beautiful? Come on, clap your hands with your brother!"

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

Lin Qiye: ...

Damn it, when I was so handsome, you didn't even record me, and you even had time to build a snowman. If you don't need that blind eye, just donate it, okay?!

At this moment, the snow exploded and Li Deyang shot out from the bushes. The Star Blade in his hand vibrated in the air, making a low-frequency buzzing noise.

"Ultra-high-risk [Everything is in turmoil]? Molly's Forbidden Ruins?" Lin Qiye was a little surprised.

"XX Forbidden Ruins that can shock yourself or others." Su Yan envied.

Li Deyang quickly scanned the ground and saw mysterious corpses and two familiar young men. When he saw his daughter wrapped in a small quilt, his eyes suddenly widened and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Tingting!"

"father!"

Li Tingting broke free from the quilt, quickly threw herself into Li Deyang's arms, and burst into tears.

Li Deyang's face showed a mixture of crying and laughing, and he hugged his daughter tightly, as if he would lose the most precious treasure in the world if he let go.

Su Yan and Lin Qiye stood not far away and watched quietly, gradually raising the corners of their mouths.

"Tingting~~"

Su Yan curled his lips and imitated Li Deyang's words jealously. His mind was in turmoil, wondering if his good friend could give him a daughter in the future to consolidate their firm friendship.

Lin Qiye found it interesting and curled his lips: "Dad~~~"

Su Yan: “Hey!”

Lin Qiye: ???

Chapter 303 Winding Crack

More than a dozen ants with broken limbs rolled weakly on the ground.

Li Deyang covered his daughter's eyes to prevent her from seeing. When he glanced over, uncontrollable horror welled up in his eyes.

These two students, who looked incredibly young, actually killed so many giant ants on their own. Not only did they capture them alive, but they also had to save Tingting at the same time. This was beyond his understanding.

Li Deyang had only seen a Sea Realm instructor in his entire life during the training camp. For the following twenty years, he had been guarding here day in and day out. The strongest human being he had ever seen was when he looked in the mirror.

With his super high-risk forbidden ruins [Frequent Movement of All Things], he could defeat a giant ant in a one-on-one fight, but if he fought two alone, he could only run for his life.

If it's a one-on-ten situation, you have to think carefully about how to return to the ant nest, should you smile or remain silent.

"Who are you?" Li Deyang said to Lin Qiye who was walking over.

I'm really not good at lying, so I have to find a despicable and cunning person to do it... Lin Qiye was silent for a few seconds, then pulled Su Yan out from behind him.

"Come on, explain it to me!"

Did you mean to lie just now? Don’t think I didn’t hear it! Li Deming complained in his heart.

Su Yan stood up expressionlessly: "Uncle, we are researching anti-characteristic growth plants..."

"The reason for studying plants is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?" Li Deyang pointed at the giant ant struggling in the distance.

Su Yan thought for two seconds: "Uncle, we are a group of college students who are researching how to turn someone into a vegetable with one punch."

Li Deyang: ...

Hey, even if you're going to lie, at least pick a normal reason. How am I supposed to believe something so weird? It'll make me look stupid, okay?

Li Deyang's eyes drifted over the Star Blade on Lin Qiye's waist. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Oh, so you're a student studying vegetative patients. No wonder you're so skilled."

"Yes, yes." Su Yan nodded with a smile and sighed:

"After all, it's hard to find a vegetative person, so we usually have to create one ourselves. Only with good skills can we generate high income!"

"Hahaha, heroes emerge from youth."

"Thank you so much, uncle, you still have your charm!"

Lin Qiye: (?_?)

Listening to the two people talking nonsense and acting so seriously, Lin Qiye was confused for a few seconds before he figured it out.

Su Yan didn't even think about making up a good excuse. He said something about a college student who was researching how to make someone into a vegetable with one punch. It was simply outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme.

But the more nonsense he talked, the more he revealed one message: Uncle, don’t ask, I can’t tell you this.

When the uncle's eyes swept over his Star Knife, he should have also understood that they were Night's Watchmen.

After all, if a standard weapon like the Star Blade is lost, the Night's Watch will naturally have a way to locate it. Even the terrorists of the Church of the Ancient Gods dare to kill the Night's Watch but never dare to steal the Star Blade.

So the uncle pretended not to know and cooperated with them blindly. He was so enthusiastic that he almost called them "Commander".

Awkward moments of mutual praise.

An Qingyu and the others followed the footprints, followed by another member of Team 332, Chen Han.

At this moment, she was being tied up in a playful way, and it was obvious that it was done by Baili Pangpang.

"Uncle Li!"

Chen Han yelled in frustration, and Li Deyang hurried forward to untie him.

Baili Pangpang quickly explained, "Qiye, this is not my fault. We met in the woods, and he came up and wanted to knock us out and take us back!"

"It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding."

Li Deyang and Chen Han whispered in each other's ears, entrusted their daughter to him, and told Chen Han to take Tingting back the same way.

After seeing his daughter off, looking back every few steps, Li Deyang took a deep breath and stood in front of Lin Qiye.

"I'm a forest ranger from Anta County. I can cooperate with you...in studying vegetative patients."

Lin Qiye smiled friendly and waved his hand to refuse: "Uncle, we have enough manpower and don't need help."

"You saved my daughter, I must repay you, you're welcome."

After Li Deyang finished teasing, without waiting for Lin Qiye to say anything, he took the lead and walked towards the locust tree forest on the west side.

Lin Qiye hurriedly followed him, constantly persuading him, "No, uncle, I'm not being polite. I mean, you're too weak. If you follow us, we'll need someone to protect you."

Li Deyang stumbled and nearly fell, striding forward with his mouth twitching, not wanting to say a word.

"Our captain, that emotional intelligence..." Shen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then concluded:

“It’s really tall!”

Everyone said 'hmm' and nodded in unison.

Su Yan sighed, "This is just the beginning. When he gets a girlfriend, won't his iron attributes kill her?"

"Su Yan, is this the same response you gave me as I imagined?" Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Su Yan: ???

"Lecherous monk!"

...............

after an hour.

As we moved deeper into the forest, snow gullies that used to take a long time to find began to appear more frequently, indicating that we were getting closer to the ant nest.

Lin Qiye's mind was fully open. He avoided the patrol of worker ants several times along the way and brought his team to the locust tree forest.

"It's this locust tree forest." Li Deyang pointed to the depths of the forest and said:

"Five kilometers further on, we'll reach the edge of the fog. We never go into the woods. The closer we get to the fog, the more likely something unexpected will happen."

An Qingyu suddenly pointed to the side and asked, "What is that?"

Looking in the direction of his finger, a half-meter wide crack appeared in the ground, winding into the forest. The snow nearby was empty, probably having fallen into the crack long ago, leaving only a slightly abrupt blank area.

The pitch-black crack contrasts sharply with the surrounding snow-covered scene, faintly revealing a strange and dangerous atmosphere.

Li Deyang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "A crack in the ground? I didn't find it when I was patrolling three months ago, but there haven't been any earthquakes recently."

After getting closer, Su Yan looked and observed carefully at the edge of the crack. The soil in the crack was fresh, with a faint earthy smell. The surface of the rock was clean, showing its original color, which meant it had not had time to oxidize.

"This crack was formed not long ago and should be spreading towards the forest."

"There are giant ants dropping fluff inside!" Lin Qiye scanned it with his spiritual vision and frowned slightly:

"Could it be that the giant ants were startled by the cracks and came to the surface along them? Could it be that they have been breeding for several years?"

An Qingyu stuck his head out to observe the bottomless crack:

"I hope your guess is wrong, otherwise we will be in big trouble."

Chapter 304: Should I kill the Queen Ant?

"In an ant colony, the queen's first batch of worker ants won't be numerous. Just enough to ensure the queen has enough food."

An Qingyu explained solemnly, his eyes filled with worry:

"When the queen ant begins to give birth to soldier ants, it means that the ant colony has entered the middle stage of development and is preparing to invade other ant colonies. In the absence of natural enemies, the ant population is usually over thousands, but as you can see, this nest has soldier ants."

"Does this mean we have to face thousands of giant ants?"

Lin Qiye frowned slightly and looked at the deep crack.

If there really are thousands of giant ants above the "Chuan" realm below, it would be wishful thinking to kill the queen ant right under their noses.

When he was on the ground, he could deal with a dozen of them with his skills, but in such a narrow space underground, he couldn't use his skills at all. He could only fight head-on and compete in strength. One giant ant was enough for him.

After all, if their body sizes are equal, ants are almost the strongest creatures in nature.

"And we must hurry." An Qingyu said seriously:

"Qiye, you said earlier that the soldier ants' frenzied predation was due to the queen's lack of food. That's true, but you don't understand there's another terrifying situation. That's the queen about to give birth to 'reproductive ants,' and she needs a lot of food."

"What are reproductive ants?"
