Chapter 293: Queen of Wonderland Worm Cave
"Frozen?"
Su Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yeah." Chi Qian said calmly, "At that time, I had no means to save their lives, but I happened to have an alchemical tool that could be used to freeze them. I had no choice but to resort to this last resort."
Su Ming nodded in understanding.
When there is no other solution, this can be regarded as an emergency measure.
At the very least, after being frozen, the injuries of Chi Qian's team members will not worsen, and they can be saved to their last breath. Although it is said to be a worst-case scenario, it is actually an unexpectedly practical method.
"After the freeze ended, I sank the surviving members and the ice directly to the bottom of a nearby lake. I managed to escape back to Tianfeng City with my last breath and saved my life."
Having said that, Chi Qian bit her lip.
This is where the problem lies.
"It was a month later when I was rescued from my serious injuries and regained consciousness."
"The first thing I did after waking up was to head to the lake to bring back the surviving members."
"But who would have thought that in just one month, the terrain there would have changed so drastically."
Chi Qian said with some annoyance.
"That area has turned into a strange land, and has completely become the territory of the phantom demons."
Wonderland.
That refers to a type of terrain that appears under the influence of the Demonic Prison.
As the inside of the world, when the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison appears on the outside of the world, that is, when it appears in the real world, if it is not closed for a long time, then the terrain near the entrance will gradually be assimilated by the Spirit Demon Prison, causing the inside of the world and the outside of the world to overlap, and some special terrains in the Spirit Demon Prison will appear in the real world.
If Tianfeng City is a paradise for professionals, then these wonderlands are a paradise for demons.
The environment of a wonderland is generally only suitable for phantom demons to carry out activities. Not only is the terrain steep, it is also quite harsh. Humans are basically unable to survive in it. Even high-level professionals cannot stay in some wonderlands with harsh environments for a long time.
Therefore, wonderlands are usually regarded as forbidden areas by humans. Even professionals generally do not enter wonderlands without special missions and special purposes.
The environment in some strange places is so harsh that even people with seven-star professions find it difficult to survive there.
For example, the most famous wonderland in the world today is a magic volcano. This magic volcano contains many natural treasures that can only be found in the Demon Prison, including very precious minerals and very rare materials, which has attracted many professionals.
However, inside the Demonic Volcano, not only do many phantom demons live who like high temperature environments, but the interior of the volcano is also filled with demonic magma and hot air.
Once those demonic magma and hot air touch the human body, they will become extremely horrible and corrosive poison. Even if a seven-star professional does not take certain protective measures and is exposed to those demonic magma and hot air recklessly, he may evaporate from the face of the earth and turn into a pile of ashes.
This shows how dangerous the wonderland is and how harsh the environment is.
Fortunately, the wonderland usually only appears near the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison. If the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison is sealed, the wonderland will not appear.
Otherwise, not to mention Longyao City where the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison appeared, the entire continent might gradually be replaced by the wonderland and become a world like the second Spirit Demon Prison.
On the contrary, if the entrance to the Demonic Prison is not sealed in time, the surrounding terrain will definitely turn into a wonderland bit by bit.
For example, the ocean, which is regarded as a scourge by humans today, has not been sealed because of its large coverage area and the many entrances to the Demon Prison. There is also a largest entrance to the Demon Prison that has always existed in the depths of the ocean. It is said that nearly one-sixth of the terrain on the seabed has turned into a wonderland.
There is also the Chaos Demon Cave, which is the largest entrance to the demon prison on land. Although Tianfeng City has tried its best to resist, interfere with and influence it, because there are too many phantom demons rushing out from there, humans have not been able to completely seal this entrance, resulting in the terrain around the Chaos Demon Cave being replaced by wonderland day after day.
As a result, the area around Tianfeng City is the place with the most wonders in the world, at least on land.
Of course, the emergence of wonderlands is not all bad. At least those environments can indeed breed some natural treasures that can only be born in the Demon Prison. Those natural treasures have fallen into the hands of humans and have been refined into precious and powerful treasures by countless famous alchemists, enhancing the strength and survival ability of all human professionals.
In addition, the phantom demons prefer the environment in the wonderland to the real world, and they basically live in the wonderland. In fact, many tasks in Tianfeng City cannot avoid the wonderland, so many professionals have to set foot in some wonderland and explore in the wonderland.
In such a situation, some not-so-dangerous wonderlands are fine, but the environments in some wonderlands are really too harsh, and even the strongest professionals are not very willing to set foot in them.
Unfortunately, the area where Chi Qian's companions were sleeping was replaced by an extremely dangerous wonderland.
"Tianfeng City named that place the Poison Insect Cave, and the danger level is S-level."
Chi Qian said this somewhat bitterly.
"Not only are there many insect-like phantom demons living there, but there is also a nightmare-type poisonous insect queen that is constantly breeding inside. It lays countless insect eggs. Some of the poisonous insects are big enough to rival buildings, while others are so small that they are almost like parasites and can invade the human body through breathing. Those poisonous insects are everywhere in the poisonous insect cave. Even a seven-star professional is at risk of dying if he steps into it."
Hearing Chi Qian's words, Su Ming was secretly surprised.
Through the terminal, Su Ming also saw relevant information about the danger level of the wonderland on the official website.
According to the official description, they rated each wonderland according to its degree of danger.
Like the team level and mission difficulty, the danger level of the wonderland is divided into six types: S, A, B, C, D, and E.
An S-level wonderland usually means that there are either nightmare-level phantom demon overlords living in it, or the environment is harsh enough to threaten the survival of seven-star professionals.
A nightmare-level poisonous insect queen lives in this poisonous insect cave. The queen also lays eggs throughout the entire poisonous insect cave, causing poisonous insects of different sizes to spread throughout the entire insect cave. Such an environment is enough to be rated as an S-level wonderland.
Su Ming was almost certain that once a person of Chi Qian's level stepped into the trap, those tiny poisonous insects that could invade the human body would be enough to kill her, without the Queen of Poisonous Insects having to take action.
"I have tried many ways to resist the invasion of those tiny poisonous insects, but whether it is alchemical tools, alchemical weapons, or even the effects of alchemical potions, not only did they fail to exert sufficient effect, but they seemed to stimulate the poisonous insects, making them like flies smelling fishy smells. Instead of being driven away, they gathered around like crazy."
Chi Qian said in a deep voice.
"Tianfeng City has sent experts to conduct on-site inspections and research and analysis. The results show that those poisonous insects are actually the tentacles of the poisonous insect queen. They will suck the blood of all creatures except the phantom demons that enter the poisonous insect cave, and then transfer the blood to the queen for her to enjoy."
Obviously, the Queen of Poison Insects collects fresh blood in this way, sucks the blood, increases her strength, and becomes more powerful.
If this continues for a long time, perhaps this poisonous insect queen will evolve into a terrifying species.
It was impossible for Chi Qian to enter a den of poisonous insects that housed such horrific creatures.
So, over the past year, Chi Qian has tried countless methods, and even Tianfeng City has tried various methods, but they have never been able to effectively attack the poisonous insect cave.
No matter what method is used, it is useless, because those poisonous insects are the queen's tentacles. As long as a creature enters them, they will gather together madly, collect their blood, and supply it to the queen.
Even if a large number of them are killed by various means, those poisonous insects will still attack continuously, endlessly and without end.
Unable to expel them or kill them all, any means used were useless, which forced Tianfeng City to watch the queen in the poisonous insect cave become stronger and stronger, and made Chi Qian almost desperate.
Fortunately, there is always a way out.
"I don't know if it's a personal preference, but the Poison Queen seems to like sweet things very much, and the sweeter the better."
Chi Qian changed the subject and said this.
"If there is a sweet smell in the poisonous insect cave, the queen's poisonous insects seem to collect it and give it to the poisonous insect queen."
Therefore, some experts suggested that extremely sweet things could be used to attract the attention of poisonous insects, distract the poisonous insects in the poisonous insect cave, and then go straight to the dragon's lair and kill the poisonous insect queen.
Unfortunately, Tianfeng City has used many sweet items and achieved certain results. However, once creatures other than phantom demons enter, the poisonous insects will still prioritize collecting blood.
However, it has achieved certain results, proving that this method is effective.
As long as something incredibly sweet appears nearby, the poisonous insects may shift their priorities and collect the sweet item first.
At that time, you can try to enter the poisonous insect cave.
After hearing this, Su Ming finally understood.
"You mean, Dragon Demon Saliva is that thing that is so sweet beyond imagination?"
Su Ming looked at Chi Qian.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
"That's right." Chi Qian nodded heavily and said, "Among all the known things, Dragon Demon Saliva is the extraordinary item with the strongest sweetness."
This is Chi Qian’s only hope.
Chi Qian's plan is to use four drops of dragon demon saliva to lead the poisonous insects in the poisonous insect cave to the east, south, west and north respectively, so as to reduce the number of poisonous insects to the greatest extent and increase the collection time of the poisonous insects.
In this way, she could rush into the poisonous insect cave as quickly as possible, fish out her frozen companions from the lake, and bring them out of the poisonous insect cave.
This female legend was quite daring. In order to ensure the success of her plan to the greatest extent, she was not satisfied with just one drop of Dragon Demon Saliva, but insisted on getting four drops.
"The amount of Dragon Demon Saliva is too small. Even if the poisonous insects are lured away, they will quickly complete the collection task. If that happens, I may not have enough time to rescue them."
Chi Qian didn't want to gamble, nor did he dare to gamble.
As someone who had single-handedly obtained the blood of a phantom demon and thus embarked on the path of a professional, and who had also replaced his bloodline and taken many risks, Chi Qian knew very well that if he wanted to succeed, he had to make sufficient preparations beforehand.
The failure a year ago further deepened Chi Qian's thought, making her feel that no matter how well prepared she was, it was never too much.
Only with sufficient advance preparation can you guarantee success and victory to the greatest extent.
The only question is, "Are you sure that your companions are still sleeping in the lake and are safe and sound?"
Su Ming revealed Chi Qian’s biggest concern.
“.”
Chi Qian's expression suddenly changed and he was speechless.
This is the most fundamental problem.
Since the area where Chi Qian's companions are sleeping has become an S-level wonderland, and it is a Jedi full of poisonous insects and insect-like phantoms, and any creature other than phantoms will be killed without mercy, just to collect blood for their queen. So, what are the chances that several living humans sleeping in this wonderland can survive?
Very tiny!
In other words, it's almost impossible to be alive.
But Chi Qian obviously still had hope.
"The Poison Insect Cave is a paradise for pure insect phantom demons. There are no phantom demons other than insect phantom demons." Chi Qian whispered, "And insect phantom demons are not water creatures and cannot live underwater."
Chi Qian raised his head.
"My companions have also been frozen. Their vital signs have completely stopped and their blood and qi have completely disappeared. The possibility of them being discovered is very small."
Considering these, Chi Qian felt that there was a glimmer of hope.
Even if the hope is slim, it is at least not zero.
As long as hope is not zero, Chi Qian will not give up.
After explaining everything he had said, Chi Qian picked up the wine glass and drank the medicinal wine in it.
"I don't know who you are, where you come from, or what your background is. I don't care about any of that."
Chi Qian looked directly at Su Ming and spoke in a decisive tone.
"But if you want me to join your team and work for you, there is only one way."
"Dragon Demon Saliva."
"Give me the dragon saliva."
In order to save his only remaining companion, Chi Qian has already made up his mind to give up everything, sacrifice everything, and give everything.
no way.
If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have taken such a big risk to do that S-level mission and ended up like this.
He deserved to die for what he had become now, but Chi Qian never felt the slightest bit of resentment or resentment.
But his companions were just following his orders and were completely innocent.
So many people have died, and I have to rescue the remaining survivors no matter what.
For this reason, Chi Qian would not hesitate to obey others for the rest of his life and become a dog under their command.
Feeling Chi Qian's determination, Su Ming suddenly smiled.
"What if I can save your companions?"
Su Ming then said something shocking.
"What?"
Chi Qian's determined expression suddenly changed.
