I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, my heart beating faster, and I moved backwards until I hit the wall of the pit behind me. I was at a point where I had no way to retreat. It was already hot here, and the tension made it even hotter. I held the Golden Que Sword in both hands and held it in front of me, facing the endless darkness and depth in the cave in front of me. There was a constant crawling sound, rattling, dense and very fast, as if something was about to burst out.

What on earth is this? I stared straight ahead.

At this moment, a pair of brown and black things like steel bars emerged from the darkness, hanging in the air and swaying up and down. Immediately after that, a pair of brown and black things like sickles emerged from the darkness, opening and closing. From this, I seemed to understand what the coming things were. Until this guy completely showed his head, and his dull, palm-sized compound eyes appeared and stared at me, I was completely sure. The adrenaline in my body surged, fear spread, and my eyes widened for a moment.

"Oh my god, such a big ant!" I couldn't help but exclaim.

I saw the brown-black soldier ant slowly walking out of the darkness, with hard shells all over its body. When it stood up, its height reached its waist, which means it was at least 1.1~1.17m tall, with three pairs of legs. Pits were left wherever it walked. It seemed that the pits were left by it. Looking at such a big ant, I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. When it approached, there were sparse sounds behind it. Looking inside, I saw countless soldier ants sticking their heads out like the leader, and their long upper jaws were like countless opening and closing sickles, moving with a squeaking sound.

They were approaching me. I had no way to retreat, so I could only raise my sword and swing it left and right to prevent the giant ants from approaching me. However, I could only stop two or three ants, but not so many. Some of them took advantage of the opportunity and gradually became more and more aggressive, getting closer and closer to me. Some even climbed up the wall of the pit, trying to blind my vision and attack quietly.

Although I could hear them, two fists are no match for four hands. Moreover, there are already countless hands here. If I can take care of the left side, I can't take care of the right side. If I can take care of the right side, I can't take care of the left side. So many giant ants are coming like a wave. What can I do? I am afraid it is just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, doing useless work.

throat!

The Golden Sword in my hand was bitten by one of them, and I hurriedly pulled it back with all my strength. However, I knew that this ant was strong enough to lift something that was four hundred times its own size. It was basically ridiculous for me to compare strength with an ant whose physique was not much inferior to mine. It didn't take long before I could no longer support the sword in my hand, and my palm was aching slightly. Until there was a click, the sword disappeared from my hand.

The light faded away and everything around me was plunged into darkness. I could only hear the endless sound of crawling in the cave, moving constantly, making noises, harsh and restless, but I could no longer stop it. Moreover, once the Golden Que Sword was thrown away, I no longer had any ability to resist and could only let it go!

"It's over. I've thought of everything, but I never thought it would be a group of ants, and this big. No wonder Hu Lingshang kept warning me! It's over now. I'm going to die without seeing Yunwen. I don't know if I can meet her on the road to the underworld." I couldn't help but say.

There was a chaotic creaking sound immediately afterwards, and I felt my body being pulled relentlessly by the stiff arthropod. I could only scream in pain. I had just experienced their strength, so if they pulled my limbs now, they would most likely tear me apart, with my head and body torn off and my flesh and bones separated. Thinking of this way of dying, even though I had seen many battlefields, I couldn't help but feel scared.

I didn't expect that after conquering so many monsters, I could only die at the hands of a group of ants. I had thought that I could die together with Yunwen, as a couple, rather than dying alone. But now such an idea is nothing but a fantasy. After all, life and death are in the hands of this group of soldier ants. They have no autonomy. The duty of soldier ants is to use their bodies as weapons to resist invaders. They are so stubborn. In this case, how could they help me?

I just felt like my whole body was about to be torn apart, the pain reached its extreme, even shouting was not enough to relieve it at all. The scattered force of your ant is different, this feeling is not just in one place, but in several places, starting and acting at the same time, this feeling is comparable to the punishment of purgatory.

Moreover, those soldier ants kept biting me with their long mouths on the upper jaws. Their long mouths were like countless pairs of sickle blades cutting me in an interlaced manner. My body was in burning pain. If the dragon robe had not been made of some special material that was hard enough, I would have been bitten through and died.

"Ah! I can't stand it anymore!" I screamed.

However, at this moment, I don't know if it was because of my voice or because of something else, the pain suddenly disappeared. At this time, the soldier ants suddenly stopped moving, and more sounds came from inside. I could hear a lot of crawling sounds going towards the sides of the pit wall, which seemed to be making way for the newcomers. Although the sounds of the two were the same, I could still tell the area.

The later ants were obviously much smaller in size, and the sound they made when stepping on the ground was obviously different from that of the soldier ants. Based on my understanding of ants, among the ants' division of labor, there is only one type of ant that is the smallest, and that is the worker ants. They are small in size and numerous in number, and their role is to collect food, build nests, raise larvae, etc. Therefore, compared with the soldier ants who are responsible for defense, they are naturally much smaller.

But why did they suddenly dispatch soldier ants and worker ants when they could have killed me directly? Could it be that the queen ant and the larvae like to eat living people like me, so Yunwen and I planned to bring them into the cave and eat them alive? Oh, these are really ants?

But since it was the worker ants that came, I was able to at least escape death for the time being, and avoid being torn apart on the spot and dying miserably.

At this time, the worker ants came to lift me. The barbs on their segmented legs grabbed my clothes and supported my body, lifting me up high in the air. Then I kept carrying them in mid-air. It can be said that they were very strong and steady, and only one of them was able to lift me steadily.

I felt very uncomfortable all over at the moment and dared not move, for fear that I would die immediately if I angered them. If they took me in now, they might place me next to the larvae or the queen ant, and Yunwen might be there too. Perhaps I could die with her. So I would not disrupt this trend for the time being and just hoped that this little wish could be fulfilled.

At this time, I heard a clanging sound. The sound was very familiar. It seemed that the Golden Sword was also picked up from the ground and carried away, and was being sent into the cave.

The following time was basically spent in the sounds of crawling and pitch-black vision. These worker ants carried me continuously into the cave. Apart from the fact that I could feel my feet moving closer to the cave entrance and my body becoming increasingly warmer, I knew that I was still in a real world. Everything else seemed like a realm of nothingness. There was only darkness and nothingness.

It went on like this for an unknown amount of time. There were flat slopes and downhill slopes, steep places and flat places. I could smell the scent of corpses and a foul stench along the way. It seemed that there were already many living creatures like me among the food piled up here.

In the past two years, I have never seen any signs of their activities, which means they have never gone out. If they have not gone out, it is unlikely that these living creatures were hunted from outside. If they are not hunted from outside, then where did they come from? Could it be that there are other creatures in the underground besides these big ants?

This reminds me of the bird that Yunwen communicated with that time. The bird said that there are many creatures taller than trees. The ants in this cave are this big. If there are other creatures, according to the same proportion, they may be false.

Just as I was thinking about these things, there was suddenly a light ahead. What surprised me was that the light was the color of the ever-burning lamp. As the light appeared, I was even more surprised. Why do ants need to light lamps to survive? Only people like us understand and need these things.

After that, I gradually began to see my surroundings clearly, until the arrangement in front of me shocked me. There were actually quite a few iron cages.
