Then Lu Yuan showed the location of the locator in his hand. They were still a few kilometers away from the direction of the ant nest. At this moment, the steel frame had all broken, and it was basically impossible to get there.
Upon seeing the distance of several kilometers, everyone fell silent.
Then Lu Yuan took the flashlight and looked at the rock layers above.
"Perhaps there are other ways to get up there, but you might have to go back again!"
Lu Yuan left the nail gun and some ropes at the spot, and then sent everyone and the equipment back to the dimensional space.
He picked up the nail gun, aimed it at both sides, and pulled the trigger.
With a "bang," an arrow from the nail gun flew swiftly toward the rock layer, its spearhead firmly anchoring itself above it.
Lu Yuan tried it out and found it to be relatively stable. So he gently grabbed the rope and swung towards the distance like a monkey. After testing it a few times, Lu Yuan confirmed his position and pulled the trigger again.
Another rope was fixed in a more distant place. Then, Lu Yuan followed the same procedure as before, holding the rope and swinging forward, moving forward little by little.
Finally, the location of the locator in Lu Yuan's hand coincided perfectly with his own location.
He secured the buckle around his waist to the top of the rope, then shone his flashlight upwards. He saw that the ant nest had been completely blocked up by termites using lime powder.
The termite mound looked very fluffy, but Lu Yuan knew that the formic acid secreted by termites, combined with the powder of this rock, made up a lime powder that was even stronger than ordinary concrete.
Lu Yuan took out a nail gun and fired it again towards the ant nest.
With a "bang," the nail gun nailed directly into the ant nest. Lu Yuan tested it and found it to be even more secure than the previous rock layer. So he grabbed the rope and slowly moved forward, securing his body to the exit of the ant nest.
Then Lu Yuan picked up an iron hammer and kept smashing it towards the ant nest.
A series of cracking sounds came as the lime powder sealing the entrance kept falling down, occasionally mixed with some termites.
Lu Yuan squinted to prevent the lime powder from falling into his eyes. He kept swinging the hammer, and the gap at the top got bigger and bigger until the hammer suddenly felt like it was hitting empty air. Lu Yuan took out a flashlight and shone it inside. Then countless termites swarmed out from inside.
Lu Yuan seized the opportunity and immediately released several giant pythons from the dimensional space.
The giant pythons flicked their blood-red tongues, probing the surrounding air. Upon discovering the termites, their eyes gleamed, and they swiftly charged towards the ant nest. They opened their massive mouths and continuously spewed out their mutated tongues.
When the sticky substance on the tongue touches the termites, it immediately and firmly sticks them to the tongue. Then, the tongue is quickly retracted, swallowing all the termites into their stomachs.
A dozen or so giant pythons were swimming back and forth inside. The termites did not harm the pythons at all. The pythons, relying on their hard scales, were slaughtering the termites.
The termites in the exit direction were no longer able to come out, and Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly adjusted his body, reached out and grabbed the entrance of the unusual cave, and then jumped into the ant nest.
The ant nest was pitch black, without any light, but Lu Yuan could clearly smell a pungent, acidic odor emanating from it.
He took out his flashlight and shone it inside. He saw swarms of soldier ants attacking him fiercely, and the light from Lu Yuan's flashlight was almost completely blocked by these soldier ants.
Lu Yuan knew that this place was not a safe place to stay. He had to find a more secure location, and there seemed to be a winding road stretching upwards above him.
So Lu Yuan put away the flashlight, then took out a larger searchlight and shone it in front of him. With a thought, he released several more giant pythons.
The giant python kept moving forward, acting as Lu Yuan's henchman, and devouring all the termites along its path.
Lu Yuan slowly crawled forward. The size of the cave entrance varied, and there wasn't much spacious area, so Lu Yuan couldn't bring all the team members out for the time being.
He crawled slowly forward, the ground covered in a sour smell of acetic acid and sticky liquid. Lu Yuan felt his stomach churning, but he forced himself to endure the nausea and crawled forward as fast as he could.
After the giant python finished eating the termites behind it, Lu Yuan continued to crawl deeper into the cave. Lu Yuan looked around and found that the giant pythons had completely disappeared in front of him. They were very fast, and Lu Yuan could not track them at all.
So Lu Yuan quickened his pace and walked further. The cave became larger and larger, and Lu Yuan could clearly feel the smooth rock layer underground.
Lu Yuan casually waved away the termites on the searchlight and found that the area was much more open than before. The ground was covered with termite eggs, which gave him goosebumps.
Then Lu Yuan flicked his finger, and the team members who were already prepared appeared in the cave.
Everyone carried a flashlight, instantly illuminating the entire cave.
