"Queen Ant?!" Cao Yuan spoke in surprise when he saw the giant ant.

An Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that those paper figures are the guardians of this Fengdu. After the giant ant was chased by Qiye into Fengdu, its tracks were exposed, and it attracted the pursuit of the paper figures."

"If that's the case, then could Qiye be nearby as well?" Baili Pangpang looked around.

"I haven't seen it yet." An Qingyu said after thinking for a while, "But if he was nearby, he would definitely see the paper figurine chasing the ant queen and rush over here."

"So, we just need to sneak behind the queen ant to find Nanaya?"

"Compared to running around like a headless fly, this should be the most reliable way." An Qingyu nodded, "However, we must keep a distance from the queen ant and the paper man, otherwise we will be the ones in trouble."

The four of them nodded, and waited until the group of paper people chasing the queen ant completely disappeared above the hanging palace. Then they took a step and ran along the winding path towards the hanging palace.

At the end of the path is a series of huge suspended stone slabs, extending from the ground to the red palace in the sky, like a staircase.

Baili Pangpang and the other two stepped directly onto the first stone slab. No one knew how these stone slabs were suspended, but they supported the weight of three people without shaking at all. They stared at the suspended palace above their heads and rushed upwards quickly.

At the end of the team, Li Deyang also stepped onto the first stone slab.

Buzz——!

After Li Deyang stepped on the first stone slab, the slab vibrated visibly.

His body suddenly stopped in place.

…

"Jialan..." Lin Qiye felt the characters in his hand and muttered to himself.

Jia Lan looked up and gazed into Lin Qiye's eyes. When he heard him calling his name, a smile appeared on his lips and he nodded.

Boom——!

A muffled sound came from outside the hall, as if a fierce battle was taking place. Lin Qiye suddenly raised his head and looked outside the hall door, his face changed slightly.

"Are you human?"

Lin Qiye turned around and looked at Jialan, and asked the question seriously.

Jia Lan was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and nodded again.

"Okay." Lin Qiye's eyes fell on the outside of the hall, "I'll take you out."

He grabbed Galan's wrist, quickly walked through the bronze armor array, and rushed towards the door of the hall. However, after running only two steps, Galan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Lin Qiye turned around, as if he had thought of something.

"I'm sorry, I forgot you've been lying in the coffin for so long and can hardly walk." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye took off the two swords behind him and squatted slightly with his back to the girl in blue.

"Come on up, I'll carry you."

Jia Lan stood there for a moment, his cheeks slightly flushed, but without any hesitation, he climbed onto Lin Qiye's back and put his arms around his shoulders.

The sound of gentle breathing brushed past Lin Qiye's ears. Through the thin black shirt, he could clearly feel the girl's body temperature. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there was only one thought left in his mind...

Yes, confirmed, alive!

He picked up the two swords on the ground and was about to leave. At this moment, Galan behind him patted his shoulder gently and pointed to the wooden frame in the corner of the hall.

On the wooden frame hung a light yellow hardwood bow and a quiver woven from bamboo leaves.

"Is that yours?" Lin Qiye turned around and asked.

Galan behind him nodded.

Lin Qiye walked quickly forward, took out the hardwood bow and quiver directly from the wooden rack, and handed them to Galan. The latter stared at the hardwood bow, gently stroked it for a long time, and solemnly put it on his back.

Lin Qiye ran out of the hall quickly with Galan on his back. Li Yifei and Azhu, who were guarding the hall door out of boredom, were shocked to see him carrying a woman out.

"Qiye...you, where did you get here from?" Li Yifei asked in confusion, "One person went in, how come two people came out?"

Lin Qiye shook his head, "There's no time to explain. I'll go out first, and we can talk about the rest when we get back to the hospital."

Seeing Lin Qiye's serious expression, Li Yifei hummed and said, "See you in the hospital."

Two rays of magical light burst out from Ah Zhu and Li Yifei respectively, and they disappeared in an instant. The palace door, which had lost its support, slowly closed, and Lin Qiye's figure flashed back to the outside of the palace.

He looked back and saw that in the center of the six heavenly palaces, on top of the huge vermilion suspended palace, several figures were running upwards step by step along the suspended stone slabs and were about to enter.

Lin Qiye didn't hesitate at all and rushed towards the vermilion palace.

He ran all the way to the suspended stone slab and saw Li Deyang standing blankly on the first stone slab, looking up at the hanging palace, wondering what he was thinking.

"Uncle Li, why are you standing here in a daze?" Lin Qiye ran to his side and asked in confusion.

"Ah? Oh... nothing." Li Deyang shook his head and pointed to the suspended palace above his head. "Those three have already gone in. The queen ant is also inside. Go and help them."

Lin Qiye nodded, then realized something, "You're not going?"

"Go." Li Deyang looked down at the stone slab under his feet and spoke slowly, "It's just... I may need some time."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Li, your realm is too low. It's great that you can get here. Leave the rest to us. You'd better not take any risks."

Li Deyang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said unhappily: "Go away, stop slandering me here!"

He caught a glimpse of the girl behind Lin Qiye and was suddenly stunned, with surprise in his eyes, "This is..."

"I was rescued from a heavenly palace. I'll tell you the details later. I'm going up first." Lin Qiye took a step forward, and his figure flashed towards the palace above his head in the darkness like a startled wild goose, and disappeared in an instant.

Li Deyang stared at their departing backs and let out a long sigh.

He took a slow step and stepped onto the second stone slab.

Buzz——!

The stone slab shook again, and this time the amplitude was even greater than when he stepped on the first stone slab...

…

Baili Pangpang chased the queen ant and the paper man, stepped onto the last stone slab, and stood in front of the vermilion imperial palace.

On the roof of the Imperial Palace, a giant white ant was rapidly climbing up along a giant red pillar. A large number of paper people were floating in the air, surrounding the roof of the Imperial Palace like a white paper cloud, but they seemed to be afraid of the palace and did not dare to enter.

The queen ant seemed to have anticipated this scene. She clung to the top wall of the palace and roared silently at the paper clouds in the sky.
