Chapter 188 Entering the Ant Cave

"There should be evolutionary crystals in this kind of evolved ant, right?"

As more and more mutated ants appeared in the ant hole, a giant ant nearly four meters long emerged from the hole. It had a dark shell and hard hair, and looked like a large mechanical creature.

This must be an elite among ants. They noticed the movement outside and the pheromones released by other ants, so they came out from deep underground to check the changes in the outside world.

"It is difficult for ordinary social insects to breed evolutionary crystals. Only the elite among them, or insect kings and queens, have this unique ability. This ant looks so big, it should be a fighting type. Maybe it is possible to breed it in the body. The crystallization of evolution.”

Bai Su has also conducted in-depth research on the ant community. There are more than 600 ants in the Federation. This type is obviously a variant of the black ant, and its fighting power is extremely powerful.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a ten-meter-long fishing rod thrown out of Lin Qi's hand, with a three-hook hanging on the fishing line.

The hook accurately hit the giant ant, and it was pulled out with one force.

The giant black ant smashed into the ruins, but judging from its four-meter-long body, it was not as heavy as expected. It turned over in the ruins and patrolled the surroundings full of vigilance.

The giant black ant was suddenly in a strange place. The tentacles on its forehead swept back and forth to collect pheromones in the air.

It picked up a cement board and threw it directly into the distance, making a big noise, and then quickly dug with both jaws, trying to get into the ground.

"Still want to escape?"

Seeing how smart this giant black ant was, Lin Qi concluded that there should be evolutionary crystals in its body, so he quickly fell from the air, and the fishing rod in his hand condensed and spun, turning into a spear.

A cold light flashed above the tip of the gun, and with one sweep of the gun, the giant black ant's hard skull was instantly broken open, and a stream of viscous liquid spurted out.

The liquid in the ant's body contains an acidity. Especially after evolution, this acidic ability becomes more powerful. When it falls into the ruins, white smoke rises and a pit is corroded.

With the spear raised, an evolutionary crystal the size of a walnut flew out and fell into Lin Qi's hand.

This is the first time I have actually seen the actual object of the Evolutionary Crystal. Although I have seen introductions about the Evolutionary Crystal on the Source Project Center network before, it is far from being practical to use it in person.

"The second-order evolutionary crystal is very pure!"

Bai Su also followed. This kind of giant black ant has a second-order genetic crystal in its body, but it is an unexpected surprise. The most important thing is that the number of ant colonies is huge. This is a treasure!

The second-order evolutionary crystal is comparable to the second-order mutation crystal, and in some aspects, it is more outstanding than the mutation crystal.

"I need a lot of them. It seems I have to go into the cave. How about I send you back first?"

Bai Su doesn't have a battle armor to protect his body. If he encounters swarms of ants, he will definitely be unable to resist them. If he can't react even a little bit, he will be riddled by the ants and become food completely.

I can get in and out easily by myself.

"I also want to go in and see what the queen ant looks like."

Bai Su shook her head. This kind of opportunity was once in a lifetime, how could she be willing to leave? Even if there was any danger, it was still worth taking.

"Don't underestimate me, I am also very strong."

After saying that, red energy condensed on her arm, and she lightly stroked the ruins beside her.

The hard cement board instantly broke in half, and the cut surface was smooth without any obstruction.

"Okay, but you have to prepare in advance."

Lin Qi was slightly surprised to see Bai Su using his power. This was the first time he saw the destructive power of the Yuan Project warriors, which was even more powerful than his own blue energy.

So he used the super armor to dissolve all the hard shells on the giant ants, and slowly condensed them into a ball of black material.

Pressing one hand on Bai Su's chest, the black substance quickly wrapped around Bai Su's body, forming a black ant suit in a short time.

"In a hurry, this suit can only block the smell of your body, and the defense is not outstanding. However, it should be safer after entering the ant nest."

Originally, as long as he understood the body structure of giant ants, Lin Qi could even make a more powerful biological suit, but now time simply did not allow it.

Bai Su moved her hands and feet. The surface of the ant suit was very hard, and only the joints could rotate, which prevented her body's flexibility from being fully utilized.

But the benefits are also very obvious. The surface is smooth and delicate, close to the body, and even more exquisite. It looks like a human-shaped black ant, giving people a special sense of appreciation.

"It's okay, let's go."

After completely adapting to the ant suit, Bai Su couldn't wait to walk towards the crypt.

Before entering, Lin Qi sent a message to several people in the Central Plains Security Zone, asking them to lead a convoy to come to meet them, and gave another set of Project Source suits to Xu Sen for use.

That kind of thing can only be used to its fullest value by the user.

"Thunder Slash!"

In the narrow passage, the spear could not exert its greatest advantage, so Lin Qi transformed the weapon into a long knife and rushed towards the cave first.

The entrance is only five meters in diameter, but after entering it, the inside is intricate and complicated, like an underground world, becoming more and more spacious.

The domineering energy wrapped around his body caused the evolved ants' pheromones to misjudge. The group of small ants took detours and did not dare to move forward. They all fled wherever Lin Qi came close.

"So domineering has this effect?"

Threat often has a miraculous effect on lower-level creatures, especially this kind of social type, their perception is more acute.

After entering the depths of the underground ant nest, Bai Su used a detector to check the energy fluctuations, which were a few points stronger than outside.

Suddenly, a special wave came from the cave, and all the ants became agitated instantly, as if they had received a special order, and they scrambled to crawl towards Lin Qi.

"Did the queen ant take action!"

This wave is a unique mental control. All the black ants that received the control rioted and strictly followed the queen's orders.

"Be careful!"

Feeling this oppressive force, Lin Qi's mind moved, and a mental wave spread out, forming a unique defense layer, and then he took Bai Su directly out of the encirclement.

After landing, there was a huge underground space in front of him, as if it had been completely hollowed out by ants, spacious and deep.

One pillar after another connected the upper level, and above the head was a densely packed cave, with ants going in and out.

Underfoot were all the broken pieces eaten by ants, and even the corpses of mutant creatures.

"The air here is too heavy, we may not be able to stay here for long!"

The air underground was already thin, and there was also the smell of decaying corpses, almost becoming miasma. It was also difficult for living things that fell into it to escape.

Bai Su shielded her breath and tried to hold on as long as possible.

"With so many giant ants, it seems that this nest is indeed unusual!"

Lin Qi was not worried about breathing problems at all. The super-body armor could automatically absorb oxygen in the air and filter it. The most urgent task at the moment was to quickly find the queen ant in the ant nest and the mysterious meteorite.

The long sword was thrown out, and a flash of lightning burst out!
