At this time, the torch was still burning in the corner of the wall.

Jin Yue walked to the corner and picked up the torch: "It's better not to go out for now. The insect swarm outside is too crazy."

"Isn't it!" Although the hand has recovered

Zeng Tao still fumbled with her own hands, saying in fear, "There's no way to fight back. They've bitten my hand like this!"

"So why didn't you cover your hands too?" Jin Yue glanced at her. "You were clearly covered up so tightly when you came out."

"That's because... my hands are tied, so it doesn't feel good to hold the knife..." Zeng Tao said a little embarrassedly, "and the bugs outside didn't attack us, so I took it off. But it's useless now."

Zeng Tao pointed at the cloth covering Jin Yue's hands and said, "It's all chewed up."

Jin Yue pulled all these steps down.

The cloth was almost torn.

The attack power of those insects should not be underestimated. Even though she kept moving and slapping the insects off her body, the fabric on her body was still damaged.

Fortunately, the purple-grade steel armor was intact, and the bite force of the insects was unable to harm the armor.

But this steel armor didn't have much effect.

After all, this is armor, not a tights, and bugs can easily get in through the gaps.

I covered up these gaps before, but now...

They have all been chewed open.

If they had been a minute later, the bugs would have burrowed into their clothes and gnawed them all over.

"...These bugs are going crazy like a swarm of hornets whose nest has been disturbed."

Outside the house, the chirping of insects was still very loud, and even the sound of insects hitting the stone door could be heard from time to time.

Fortunately, the stone door was very thick, at least ten centimeters thick, and very heavy. Although there were many insects, they could not break it open.

Even Zeng Tao had to work hard to open the door just now.

That's why her hands were bitten like that.

"This stone door is ridiculously heavy!" Zeng Tao stopped leaning against it, knowing that the bugs couldn't open it. "How on earth were the buildings in this place built? Even with my strength, it's so hard to push the door open..."

"We can only wait here." Jin Yue sat down against the wall. "We can only go out after the bugs leave."

The two had just tried using torches outside, but just like on the ground, although the torches could attract the swarm of insects, they were extinguished instantly because of their large numbers.

"If I had known earlier, I should have brought down some of those mutant vines." Zeng Tao sighed, "That thing might still be useful."

It’s a pity that neither of them would carry that kind of thing with them.

Now they can only wait for the opportunity.

…

Xu Xin was squatting next to the statue at this time, checking the situation there.

But he examined it carefully for a long time, even jumping onto the statue, but he didn't find anything magical about it.

This seems to be just a very ordinary stone statue.

but……

Why...his face?

Or does she just look somewhat similar to him?

But this is... too much of a coincidence, right?

A statue that looked very similar to him was discovered underground a few hundred meters around his tree house?

This made him feel a little uneasy.

"Xu Xin, here! Come here quickly, there seems to be an entrance!" Lou Feier turned around and shouted from the rock face, about twenty meters away from Xu Xin. "Ke Ke found it!"

Xu Xin immediately stood up and walked over.

On the rock wall in front of Lou Feier, the insects retreated because of her approach, revealing what was inside.

A door.

A double stone door with an arc-shaped top.

It seems like there is an entrance to an underground city.

There are some incomprehensible words engraved on the stone gate.

"Boo!" Keke climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder and pointed at the stone door with her little paws, "Boo!"

It looks like they'll be moving on from here.
