Chapter 155 Entering the Ant Nest (update 5)
After chasing for more than an hour, the locator showed that the target was within thirty meters ahead. Lin Zhen put away the locator and took out the bright silver gun.
Beyond a branch, there were a few leaves ahead, and nothing else could be seen.
However, Lin Zhen still keenly discovered that the arrangement of the leaves was not very natural, and there must be a tree hole behind it.
Quietly approaching the leaves, Lin Zhen held his breath and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard Fu Haisheng's cursing.
This person was very depressed after being driven away by Lin Zhen, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only vent here, but it probably wouldn't last long.
"Damn you Lin Zhen, you actually kicked me out. I'll see how long you can stay there and show off."
"Su Mingyue, that little bitch, what's so great about being a saint? She relies on her beauty to flirt with other people, and she even looks down on me. Do you know that in this star fruit tree, only people from the sky are the real kings!"
"I'm going to join Tianqiong right now, and I'll definitely find someone to come back and destroy you. Even if I tell them the location of that special star crystal, I'll still destroy you! Lin Zhen, just wait for me, I'll definitely cut you into pieces!"
"And Su Mingyue, wait until I catch you, I will keep you by my side and play with you for ten years without letting you get out of bed, and see if you still remember your Lin Zhen..."
Lin Zhen was listening outside when he was moved. This Fu Haisheng actually found a special star crystal! Special star crystals are basically hard to come by, and are also the dream of any warrior in the Star Fruit Tree. No matter how many there are, it is not too much. I didn't expect Fu Haisheng to actually find one.
But from what he said, it was obvious that he didn't have the ability to pick it, and was prepared to use this information as a price to lure the people from the Sky to come back and deal with him.
Lin Zhen certainly wouldn't give him this chance. He suddenly pulled away the leaves outside, made a lightning move, and nailed Fu Haisheng's shoulder to the inner wall of the tree hole with one shot! "Ah!" Fu Haisheng screamed in pain.
Lin Zhen grabbed him by the collar and looked him straight in the eye: "Tell me, where is that special star crystal?"
Fu Haisheng was in great pain and his eyes were shaking. It was obvious that he didn't want to tell the truth.
Lin Zhen didn't waste any time talking to him. He sent a mental shock to his mind and asked again, "Tell me, where is the special star crystal?"
"In the center of the tree lake."
Lin Zhen raised his hand and cut his neck with a knife. The knife, which was focused by the golden energy, was as hard as gold and iron, and it cut off Fu Haisheng's neck in one go.
Fu Haisheng died on the spot without making a sound.
After dealing with Fu Haisheng, Lin Zhen discovered that this kid didn't even have a space ring, so he placed his body in a tree hole, not even leaving any leaves to cover him. He believed that tonight, he would become a delicious meal for some mutant insect.
After dealing with the hidden danger of Fu Haisheng, Lin Zhen returned to the ant nest.
After coming back, Su Mingyue had basically completed her breathing regulation, but her complexion had not fully recovered, and it was obvious that she had not completely improved.
After seeing Lin Zhen, Su Mingyue said a little embarrassedly: "Lin Zhen, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the ant nest with you to pick star crystals tomorrow."
Lin Zhen walked forward and gently touched her hair like a friend: "It's okay, just take a good rest, I will pick the star crystals by myself."
Su Mingyue nodded and turned away with a slightly blushing face. When there was no one else around, she would not continue to play the role of Lin Zhen's girlfriend. The wonderful thing like him holding her to sleep last night would probably not happen again.
Of course, Lin Zhen never had such an idea. It was just a temporary measure.
Seeing Su Mingyue blushing, Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. He had become quite familiar with Su Mingyue and sometimes even forgot that she was a girl. It seemed that he had to be more careful.
They rested and adjusted their breathing in the tree hole without saying a word all night. When the next morning came, Lin Zhen saw Su Mingyue still resting, so he left the tree hole alone and headed for the branch on the left.
Sun Tie and Luo Zhen were more tactful and did not follow. They also knew that there was no point in following. The ant nest was such a dangerous place, and they would be dead if they went there.
When Lin Zhen appeared, he also attracted a lot of attention. People did not tease Lin Zhen like they did yesterday. Yesterday, Lin Zhen had already proved his strength on the ring. Although his victory was rather strange, people who could not see through him were even more frightening.
However, there were also many bored people following behind, wanting to see how Lin Zhen picked the star crystals.
Lin Zhen ignored everyone and walked along the branches on the left, and soon reached the end.
The branch is about fifty meters above the ground of the anthill, and there is a vine on the side for people who are not psychics to climb.
At the very bottom of the branch, there is a large patch of purple flowers. They are not the kind of flowers that produce star crystals, but another strange kind of flowers. These flowers emit a peculiar fragrance that prevents any insects from approaching, resulting in the absence of any ants within dozens of meters around.
Further ahead is the anthill. From this angle, the anthill is made up of three small hills made of dead branches and dust. The middle one is the largest, and the ones on the left and right are slightly smaller. The hill on the far left is their territory. There is also a clear dividing line in the middle of the mountain. No one is allowed to cross the line to look for star crystals on other people's territories.
On the mountain peak on the left, there are no star crystals in the area closest to the branches. They have all been picked by previous people. If one wants to pick star crystals, one has to go to a farther place.
Lin Zhen looked around and saw that the nearest star crystal was about two hundred meters away. There were countless ants in the middle of this road, and it was not easy to pass through.
As Lin Zhen was watching, a warrior nearby said, "Lin Zhen, I advise you to be careful. This is not a place to joke. If you are not careful, you will be dead."
"Yes, this is the place with the most star crystals, and it is also the place where the most warriors are buried. I have been here for three years, and every year there are hundreds of people coming in, but there are less than ten people leaving every year. You'd better be careful."
"When you go down to pick the crystals, try to pick the star crystals that you can use, and don't pick those that are not suitable for you to absorb. For example, if you are a level 4 warrior now, it is best to pick the comet crystals. Wait until you reach the middle of level 5 to pick the satellite crystals. This way the effect can be maximized."
"I'll tell you a way to preserve the star crystal for a short period of time. That is to cut down the tree trunk where the flowers bloom, and bring it back along with the star crystal. This way, the remaining energy in the trunk can allow the star crystal to last for two to three more hours."
"See those piles of rocks in the mountains? They are actually caves. If you really encounter danger and cannot escape, you can hide in the caves."
These people were relatively kind-hearted and told Lin Zhen some knowledge, to which Lin Zhen nodded and agreed. Of course, there were also many people who made sarcastic remarks, but Lin Zhen simply did not listen.
Lin Zhen was not planning to fly, so it was his first time going down, so he decided to follow the routine.
After packing up the necessary things and carefully observing the terrain for a while and planning a route, Lin Zhen began to slide down the vines.
The vine was thick but also very smooth. Lin Zhen slid down fifty meters easily and landed on the ground with his feet.
The ground was different from the hard tree trunks. It was filled with dead branches and dust accumulated over the years, and it was a little soft underfoot.
After successfully getting down, Lin Zhen began to try to move forward. He looked back up and found that Su Mingyue had followed him at some point. She was dressed in white and stood in the crowd, staring at Lin Zhen intently. When she saw Lin Zhen looking back, she waved hard.
Lin Zhen smiled, turned and walked towards the anthill.
After walking more than 20 meters, the ants going in and out began to become a little restless.
After Lin Zhen walked more than ten meters, the first ant finally attacked Lin Zhen.
It was a flying ant, flapping its huge translucent wings and swooping down from the air with its mouth wide open! Lin Zhen was not in a hurry. When the flying ant approached, he stabbed out with the bright silver spear in his hand like lightning! A puff of black blood splashed in the air, and the flying ant's head was shredded by Lin Zhen's gun, and its body hit the ground heavily.
"Fortunately, the combat power of a single ant is not very strong. As long as we don't attract a large group of them at once, there shouldn't be any danger."
Arriving at the foot of the mountain on the left, Lin Zhen stepped up resolutely.
He had already chosen a route, which would go along the mountainside. As long as he climbed over the hill, there would be star crystals on the other side.
The moment I stepped onto the anthill, four or five worker ants rushed up from both sides.
The proactive aggressiveness of this type of worker ants is not too strong. They generally will not attack unless you get too close to them.
Lin Zhen didn't take these four or five ants seriously. He attacked with his bright silver spear like lightning, taking them down one by one easily.
Just after taking two steps forward, several flying ants rushed down from the sky, and Lin Zhen entered combat mode again.
This is the case in the anthill. The ants are almost endless. At the beginning, ordinary warriors can still support the battle, but as time goes by, the number of ants increases, and that is when the warrior's strength is tested.
Every time Lin Zhen took a few steps forward, a group of ant corpses would fall around him. Although he killed a lot of them, his progress was not very fast.
Moreover, when Lin Zhen was fighting, not only did he attack fiercely, causing dust to fly around him, but he also shouted from time to time, attracting more and more ants around him.
"This kid is crazy. He doesn't know how to keep a low profile even when he's in the ant nest. He'll be exhausted in no time if he keeps going like this."
"Who knows? He doesn't look like a reckless person, so how could he act so thoughtlessly?"
"Girl, this is your boyfriend, right? I advise you to change him as soon as possible. There is no future for you if you follow him."
Su Mingyue didn't even turn her head, but just said lightly: "I want to be with him even if I die."
The people around were speechless, thinking that this girl was so beautiful, but she was a little stubborn and insisted on hanging herself on a tree. That silly boy really found a treasure. Any man would be so happy to have such a beauty who loved him wholeheartedly.
There were more and more ants over there, especially flying ants. A large group of them came in a rush and surrounded Lin Zhen from the sky and on the ground.
Just when people thought Lin Zhen was going to die, Lin Zhen suddenly attacked violently! "Heavy rain!"
Three consecutive heavy rain gun flashes passed by, and the flying ants in the air fell down with a crackling sound. The originally dense blockade was suddenly cleared for a large area, and Lin Zhen took advantage of this gap, stepped on the shield and rose into the air, quickly flew over the hill, and headed straight for the other side where the star crystals were concentrated!
Today I will add the third chapter for the author's feelings and emotions. Thank you for your reward.
