As the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it. The war of war is ever-changing. Now there may be no other method except the one I proposed. Therefore, Lingshang and I followed my instructions and went to the stall in the city. We moved two dummies and quietly placed them on the city gate tower. We took off our clothes and put them on to make them look suspicious, and then left quietly. From a distance, we couldn't see any difference. It was just a human figure.

But our action made the hyena people very confused.

After leaving the city wall, we went back to the backyard. Ling Shang turned into a nine-tailed white fox, and I rode on it, flying with the wind, and circled the mountain wall. There was heavy gray fog all around, and I took advantage of the slight obstruction to fly in it and avoid the movements of the ratmen. I went straight to the direction of the Netherworld Cave in the pit. After going down the cave, passing the dark area, and arriving outside the underground palace, although I knew the battle would be fierce, it was still beyond my expectations.

Surprisingly, I counted and there were only about six ratmen, but their fighting power was truly amazing, they gnawed, scratched, pounced, and tore, and they even had a strange ability, which was that they opened their mouths and the abdomens of many soldier ants would burst open, splashing juice everywhere, and it was a very tragic scene. In the blink of an eye, there were countless casualties in this dark cave, and corpses were everywhere. The last traces of juice had not been wiped clean yet, and this time there were more of those terrible traces. The scene was really cruel like Asura Hell.

Fortunately, no more fox corpses were seen, only the soldier ants that died in battle!

I remember that I couldn't deal with those soldier ants easily because they were so powerful. If Yunwen hadn't sent worker ants to rescue me that time, I would have been torn into pieces. But now, I am nothing in front of these huge ratmen. Even if there are nearly a hundred of them surrounding me, I can't stop the invasion of these six ratmen and Mei Sanniang who is standing in the front.

"Mei Sanniang, what's the big deal about bullying ants?" I shouted at her back.

When she heard my voice, she turned around unexpectedly and saw me with surprise. It was obvious that my plan was successful. Her informant did not inform her that Ling Shang and I had arrived.

For some reason, she looked at me with a gentle look in her eyes, and her demeanor was much more restrained, which was very different from the murderous and violent look just now. She said, "Mr. Zhou? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be enjoying the glory and wealth in the self-proclaimed royal city? I was thinking that after things here are resolved, I will go to your place to ask for a few cups of tea."

"Sorry, I don't have any tea that a bloodthirsty rat like you can drink." I said rudely.

She was stunned, but then burst into laughter.

As she talked to me, the war between rats and ants stopped temporarily, and both sides temporarily fell into a peaceful state.

"Why are you so aggressive, Mr. Zhou? You and I were husband and wife for one night. As the saying goes, a husband and wife for a day are bound by a hundred days of grace. I don't ask for a hundred days of grace, but at least don't say such hurtful words. I'm satisfied. It's good that you're here. Today I will let you see who is worthy of you. Today I will take back my heart, and I will also let the person you care about die in front of you, so that you can follow me wholeheartedly and keep me company. Let us truly understand each other and become a couple in the fields on the other side of the world." Mei Sanniang said.

"Lord of the Demon Cave, you can't do it. He has deep feelings for Sister Yunwen. Even if you kill Sister Yunwen, he will not go with you, nor will he give up on her. Besides, even if Sister Yunwen doesn't exist, you will not be in Zhou Lang's heart. You are so bloodthirsty, who would really marry you? Besides, Zhou Lang is now the leader of a country, how could he go back to the fields with you?" Hu Lingshang said.

"Huh? Where did you come from, you little girl? Is it your turn to speak?" Mei Sanniang shouted, with that special high-frequency sound in her voice. With this roar, Hu Lingshang took two steps back and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

I hurried down, and she was transformed into a human form with a pale face. She covered her mouth and patted her chest, saying, "The voice of the ghost?"

It turns out that the rat people used their mouths to rip open the ants' stomachs, using this strange method, the sound of the devil.

It's just that Hu Lingshang is a nine-tailed white fox who has been practicing for a thousand years, but in her mouth she is just a yellow-haired girl. This makes me feel particularly uncomfortable, just like an ancestor saying that an old woman who is a hundred years old is a yellow-haired girl.

"Mr. Zhou, so the reason you are determined not to go back with me is because you want to be the king of the wilderness? How difficult is that? If you follow me, all the creatures on this island will have to obey your orders and be at your disposal. Are you satisfied with a small city? I can promise you more. There are other islands nearby. If you want, I can give you as many as you want, ten, twenty, or thirty? As long as you are willing to follow me, I can do it for you. You can ask this girl whether I, the Lord of the Ghost Cave, have the ability to do it for you." Mei Sanniang said.

I supported Lingshang, sneered, and said, "I'm sorry, no matter how many times you promise me, it's useless. To me, you are just a mistake, a threat. You threaten Yunwen's life. You intend to take her heart and kill her, so I can't let you live."

"But that heart is mine," she said.

"Really? So your heart was originally the heart of wood? Ridiculous, how can a mouse have a wooden heart? Let me guess, there was a mouse who was specifically looking for the trace of the spirit tree. She broke into a certain place and finally dug up the wooden heart, causing the spirit tree to lose its spiritual energy and wither in an instant. She picked her own heart and replaced it. Thus, the Lord of the Ghost Den was born and will be notorious. After all, that heart was stolen by it like stealing rice, so how can it be used well? The sound of the ghost den? Yunwen can do it too, but she doesn't use it to hurt people. From this, it can be seen that this ability is related to the connection between the body cells and the yang side of the wooden heart, the yang god wood, right?" I asked.

Her face was very ugly, and she asked, "Where did Mr. Zhou know this?"

"You said that the golden threads binding your coffin and the statues of mythical beasts were all set up by some evil ways. However, Yunwen has often gone to the underground palace where you were before to explore its origins. She has figured out that those were not the work of evil ways, but the methods used by the descendants of the Jiang family hundreds of years ago. And I heard that the tree is the ancestral treasure tree of the Jiang family, right?" I said.

"So what? Even if I stole it, the heart is mine. Since Mr. Zhou cares about me so much and knows me so well, why don't you guess what else I can steal besides hearts?" She smiled happily, not caring at all about the unpleasant words I said to her. Instead, she seemed very proud of herself.

If she is proud, nothing good will happen!

So I looked around and was stunned. I didn't know when a ratman had quietly moved away from me. She had deliberately led us to talk to distract my attention, but in fact it was to delay time so that her ratman could go and inform other ratmen that I had arrived at the cave, and the ratmen could prepare to attack the direction of our post station.

I was stunned. I didn't expect to be tricked again in such a short time!

When asked what else I would steal besides hearts, I didn't dare to say it out loud, but I knew it very well in my mind: it was a sneak attack.

"You!" I was so angry that my face turned red.

"You, Zhou Lang, are not the only one who can sneak into Chencang. I can do it too. Now we are even." Mei Sanniang said.

I have to stay calm, otherwise I will be completely defeated by her. If I lose this battle, the consequences will be extremely serious. Let alone Yunwen's fate, the fate of everyone will probably be the same as those ants with their abdomens bursting. How many of them can survive? So now I can only stay calm.

This reminded me of what I thought when I first arrived on the island: Isn't this a competition for survival? Either she survives, or we survive, and each of us only has one chance.

But as I calmed down, I soon got the direction. Although she also used a counter-routine, it also weakened her own defense ability. As the old saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. How could she not be in danger now?

But just as we were talking, Yunwen came out riding a flying ant, and Mei Sanniang also showed a sly smile at this time.
