Chapter 246

246 Wang Wei’s Return [XVI]

There was a cliff on one side of the square, below which was the central main cave of the mine. The cliff was five or six hundred meters high from the bottom of the cave. On the other side of the square was a tall stone wall, on which dozens of huge caves were excavated.

There was a huge glowstone inlaid above the entrance of each cave, each of which was several times larger than what Wang Wei dug up, and the polishing was irregular. The square was illuminated very brightly by these several huge glowstones, but it was not dazzling.

With the light of the glowstone, it could be clearly seen that there was a huge black ant lying there in the square. This black ant was more than ten meters in height and more than thirty meters long.

Unlike other black ants, in addition to being larger, this black ant has a round and full stomach that accounts for more than 80% of its body. From a distance, the huge belly of the black ant was particularly conspicuous, and it was difficult to see its abdomen and head.

On the back of this black ant, there were two pairs of slender wings, extending from the back to the tail all the way. This was also the most obvious feature that distinguished it from other black ants, and this black ant was the highest existence of the demon ant family – the queen.

Despite the huge number of demon ants, all the demon ants were the children of the queen. The only thing the queen did in the family was to give birth. From its huge belly, it could be seen that this ant was very fertile.

Wang Wei, Ting Yu and Dassault were squatting in a small hole at the top of the cave tens of meters above the cliff. The opening of the small hole was dug very small, with a diameter of only ten centimeters, and it was a long strip.

Dassault said that it took him a long time to dig it out in order to monitor the movements of the demon ants. But at this time, no one of the three dared to speak lightly anymore, because the distance from the ant queen was just more than 100 meters away, and even the slightest movement would not escape the spiritual exploration of the ant queen.

Wang Wei stared in the direction of the queen for a while, then looked at the teleportation circles around the square and in the center of the square. He saw black ants coming and going in and out of the dozens of huge caves on the other side of the square.

.....

He saw some black ants with food in their mouths, but some black ants were cleaning things like garbage around the queen. From what these black ants look like and what they do, they should be dedicated to serving the queen ants.

Wang Wei carefully condensed his consciousness into a single point, and slowly swept towards the teleportation circle in the center of the square. Although they were more than 100 meters away from the queen ant, the queen ant was lying close to the stone wall after all. However, the distance between the magic circle and Wang Wei and others was within 100 meters, which was within the maximum limit that Wang Wei’s consciousness could reach.

Through the feedback of divine sense, the complex grooves forming the magic circle were clearly imprinted in Wang Wei’s mind, and every tick and stroke contained profound meanings. But within a few breaths, Wang Wei scanned the entire array.

Just when Wang Wei was about to take back his consciousness, he saw the queen slammed her head up, two pairs of huge wings suddenly fluttered and stretched out instantly, a strong wind suddenly blew on the square, and the black ants around the ant, all stopped moving.

This change suddenly startled the three in the Wang Wei’s group. Wang Wei quickly retracted his consciousness, pressed Tingyu and Dassault’s shoulders and hid in the darkness. No one dared to move, not even to take a breath.

After a while, the queen ant slowly retracted her wings after turning two circles in place. Seeing this, Wang Wei and the other two finally took a breath. Wang Wei secretly thought in his heart: This ant queen’s mental perception was too strong, even though he was very careful, he still almost showed his fault.

At this moment, the two pairs of wings of the queen ant suddenly spread out again, and a strong wind blew in the square. At the same time, a wave of mental shock came. Although the intensity was not strong, the three of Wang Wei were so frightened that their heartbeats almost stopped.

Immediately afterwards, in the darkness above the square, a behemoth fell down. When the thing fell on the square, Wang Wei and the three discovered that it was a huge magic spider.

After seeing the magic spider smashing heavily on the square, it remained motionless. Immediately, a black ant stepped forward and held the magic spider in front of the queen. The queen was not polite, and inserted a pair of big teeth into the belly of the magic spider.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Wei and the three couldn’t help their throats from surging, and they spat in fear. Wang Wei waved gently to the two of them, and then the three of them crept out of the small hole.

After returning to the stalactite cave, the three of them were already in cold sweats.

Dassault wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, “My mother, it scared me to death. I have never experienced such a dangerous time before, and I thought I was going to be ant food this time!”

Ting Yu sneered. “Why are you scared to death? When it is more dangerous than this, I have encountered them.” As she spoke, she raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead. What she said was not at all convincing.

Wang Wei waved his hand and said to the two. “Let’s go, let’s go back!”

Afterwards, the group of three hurried back to the home of the earth elves along the same path.

Elder Yade had been waiting in the square for a long time. The three of scouting party had been gone for a time. Yade was afraid that something would happen to the three of them. This was no ordinary investigation. Where the three of them went to was the ant nest! The spiritual attack of the demon ants was much more powerful than the earth magic of the demon spider.

In case Wang Wei and the three of them had some problems, the only hope that the earth-type elves finally hoped for would be shattered, and he was afraid that the whole clan would be destroyed in the near future.

Just as Elder Yade was pacing back and forth anxiously in the square, the light flashed, and the three of the scouting party stepped out of the small hole one after another.

With the appearance of Wang Wei and the other two, the heart of the great elder Yade finally eased back back to its original condition.
