Chapter 62: The queen's heritage (1)

"Here it is, this is the fossil lake." The guide led them to a huge underground lake and introduced, "The buildings nearby were built during the period of the first dragon and ant queen. Now they are mostly collapsed and damaged. It is said that most of them are The architectural style of the demon world, and later the underground ant city entered with humans, and later the queen of dragon ants was mostly of human origin, and the style gradually moved closer to the human world. "
Qi Leren and Ning Zhou stood in front of a ruined ancient building and looked at the vast underground lake in front. The thick water vapor formed a large mist and floated on the underground lake. As the waves of wind from the caves underground, the water mist was Keep blowing and gathering.
It is wonderful that there are a lot of fluorescent plankton floating in the lake, a deep fluorescent blue, with lingering smoke. This huge underground lake is like a night sky with thin clouds, with bright stars and vastness.
"The scenery here is good, but nobody seems to be?" Qi Leren asked.
The guide said, "In the early years, there were still people living here, but I don't know when it started. Frequent violent clashes and even more chaos than in the lower urban area. In addition to the water monster incident, the residents here have moved."
"Water monster?" Qi Leren looked back at the fluorescent underground lake again. "Is there a water monster in it?"
"Yes, there was a monster that attacked nearby residents and caused thousands of deaths. It shocked the dragon queen, and then ordered all to be relocated." The guide said.
Qi Leren whispered to Ning Zhou: "What does a water monster look like?"
Ning Zhou thought for a while: "Strange shape."
This is the same as saying nothing. Qi Leren blinked in confusion, thinking for a while. Water monsters are also a kind of monsters. Of course, they have all kinds of growth. Some are more serious and some are casual. For one thing, they are monsters anyway.
"Is this water monster a demon? Or a demon?" Qi Leren asked again.
Although the names of the demon and the demon are very close, there are still obvious differences. There are many races with rational and human signs in the higher devil, but no matter how powerful the demon is, their forms are obviously non-human, and there is no rational and normal thinking ability.
The leader shook his head and said, "We also don't know. The water monster appeared once and then disappeared. It may be that the dragon ant queen has cleared it up."
"Then there is no need to move." Ning Zhou said sharply.
"That's what I said." The lead man smiled bitterly. "This kind of confidential thing, we are not qualified to understand the inside."
"Mrs. Catherine said where the person who was suspected of Assi was met, specifically where?" Qi Leren asked.
"This is the area, please follow me." The guide pointed to a palace-like building complex that had been mostly submerged in the lake, and led them towards them.
The underground ant city has almost no light source from the sun, but the creatures here naturally reproduce a set of lighting methods. Both humans and demons will eat food that enhances night vision, plus fluorescent fungi and vegetation everywhere. Over time, the demand for light has also dropped dramatically. If you suddenly return to the earth's world, I am afraid that you will not adapt because the light is too strong.
The sight of Qile people is much better after breaking the shell, and after eating the food suggested by Celia, walking in the dimly lit underground world is no longer an obstacle, but occasionally they are accidentally roughened by the unevenness. The ground stumped-after all, there is no such good infrastructure in the nightmare world. Except for the hometown of dusk, few places are flat cement roads or asphalt roads.
Ning Zhou walked half a step slower than him. It turned out to be very important, because when Qi Leren took a nap, he responded extremely quickly and helped him.
He wouldn't say "I'm pulling you away," but in fact he did.
When the guide turned his head and was about to speak, his open mouth stuck to his face stiffly when he saw the hands of the two, and his voice became a cough.
Ning Zhou was expressionless, as if it was a natural thing for men and men to join hands. Qi Le people pretended to look at the scenery: "The scenery here is really good, and it is good to walk around when you have time."
Ning Zhou also responded to him: "Yes."
The guide didn't quite understand what is worth dating in a place where there are water monsters and people are often missing .... Walk away, but he firmly supported an embarrassing but polite smile: "Yes, but pay attention to safety . "
Qi Leren has found out that Ning Zhou is very shy in some aspects, but very "calm" in other aspects. For example, he thinks that two people who are already engaged can handle, then he will not care about the problem of the occasion. Don't feel embarrassed to be seen.
But by the same token, he determined that he could not do anything before marriage, and he did not count on not getting married.
Qi Leren, like a young boy in Huaichun, was about to move under the influence of hormones. At the same time, he felt that he was inferior to the innocent Ning Zhou. He was really a dirty adult. Just when he fell in love, he began to think about sex.
At this moment, Qi Leren is very optimistic and feels confident that he should be able to overthrow Ning Zhou. After all, Ning Zhou was so innocent, why did n’t he teach the math? But you ca n’t be so anxious. In case Ning Zhou is scared, it ’s not good. Let ’s start with elementary teaching. For example, find an opportunity to teach how to kiss at the right time, in the right place and in the right atmosphere.
A little excited, a little expectant, and a little shy, Qi Leren couldn't help but show an overly pleasant smile.
Leader: I don't know why, I feel a bit annoying, I should go away quickly ...
After taking the two to their destination, the other leaders of the task left, leaving only Qi Leren and Ning Zhou, walking slowly in the ruins of this palace.
The surrounding buildings have indeed been seriously damaged, but they can be seen in a distinctive style. For example, the temple in front of this Greek-like temple has only a few rows of sporadic corridors. The height of the complete columns is four. Above ten meters, it is already magnificent when viewed from a distance. When you take a closer look, each pillar requires seven or eight people to hold together. Standing under the pillar and looking up, this amazing height is awe-inspiring. Dianyu has been tilted as a whole due to ground subsidence and rising lake water. The north half has been submerged by the lake and inserted into the water slightly obliquely, while the south-facing portion has not been swallowed by the lake.
"The buildings in the Demon Realm are usually much taller than the human realm." Ning Zhou said.
"Why?" Qi Leren asked.
Ning Zhou looked at the neat rows of damaged columns in front of him and slowly said, "Because many demons don't like maintaining human figures."
The Qile people immediately remembered the huge black dragon in the Lake of Purgatory Fire, and it really could only move in this huge building with its shape. I don't know if the dragon-shaped demon will have some special hobbies, such as collecting gold coins and treasures ...
"There are traces of fighting here." Ning Zhou's voice awakened Qi Leren who was still asleep.
Qi Leren quickly returned to God and observed carefully. The natural collapse and the damage caused by the battle are different. Qi Leren lacks experience, but Ning Zhou can see at a glance that he can even restore some details of the fight in the brain. For example, the pillar in front of the man was in the fight. It was broken, and the blood stain under the foot was left after being severely bruised when hit by the ground.
"Two masters, at least both have broken shells." Ning Zhou said.
"In my impression, although the descendants of Mrs. Catherine had the seed of killing, they were of average strength." Qi Leren recalled.
"Somebody!" Ning Zhou pulled Qi Leren aside, avoiding the post.
Both snored, regulating their breathing and heartbeat.
In the distance came the slight footsteps of a group of people, the sound of cloth dragging on the ground, and even light.
A mysterious procession passed by this hall, carrying skull lights in their hands, wearing heavy long cloaks, and covering their faces with hoods. This group of people bowed their heads and whispered words like curses, and when they listened, they were hypnotized.
Qi Leren quickly twisted himself, Ning Zhou looked at him with concern, Qi Leren pointed to his lips, and pointed to the group of mysterious cloak men, signaled to be careful of their spells. Seeing that Ning Zhou was not affected at all, Qile's talents were slightly relieved.
The front row of the team are all cape men with skull lights, but behind the team are a group of ragged humans. They closed their eyes, and everyone's face showed an intoxicated and sloppy look, with a strange face. His smile, like a group of docile sheep, walked forward under the guidance of the cape man.
Qi Leren immediately felt bad. What were these cloak men doing?
Ning Zhou suddenly felt something, and stared at one of the people moving forward. The man looked like the people around him, walking forward defenselessly and with a smile, but when Ning Zhou looked at him, he also turned his head, grinned at him with interest, and found out at the cloak man Forward, continue to move forward.
There is no road ahead. The north of this temple has been submerged in an underground lake. If you go further, you can only see the lake water soaked with fluorescent algae. But this group of people seemed to be invisible to the road, holding a skull lamp, chanting a vague spell, and heading towards the lake.
As they approached, the fluorescence on the lake became more and more dazzling. At first, the lights of the stars, like stars, gradually gathered into a dazzling blue, which made people's eyes open!
A wonderful voice sounded in the light, it was difficult to describe whether it was a song or a mantra. It was like a devout prayer of a believer, but also a wailing of despair before death. It just made people tremble when they heard it. In the void there seemed to be a huge eyeball watching everyone on the land, including the two hiding behind the pillars.
Qi Leren's eyes widened, his heartbeat slammed, his whole body seemed to be incapable of moving with the petrochemical spell.
In this weird voice, these mysterious cloak men walked into a blue light and were quickly engulfed in light.
The blue light gradually extinguished, and the fluorescent plants on the lake dimmed again, but the figures of capes and humans were no longer seen in the temple. Everything was silent, absurd, and horrible.
"What is this ... what is it?" Qi Leren woke up from the fear of being deterred just now, leaning back in the direction of Ning Zhou.
"Cult sacrifice." Ning Zhou is more experienced than him, and it is not difficult to see what this group of people is going to do. He paid more attention to the person who smiled at him in the crowd just now. That person apparently found the two people hiding behind the pillar, but did not reveal their existence. He himself, for whatever purpose, seemed to be playing a role of cult sacrifice.
"Where are they?" Qi Leren asked again.
"It should have entered a fixed semi-realm, and you can understand that members of the secret killings entered the semi-realm to conduct a secret ceremony." Ning Zhou said.
Qi Leren was astonished that a similar situation occurred during the previous killing secret mission, but this group of people was even more weird and did not know what it was about.
"Which devil is this group of people going to sacrifice?" Qi Leren asked.
"Not sure." Ning Zhou shook his head.
There are too many demons, and here is the underground ant city. In addition to the demonic beliefs, the demonic beliefs are also endless. The situation is more complicated than anywhere else. However, the mantras chanted by this group of people are a little familiar, like a group of believers in the ideal country that Ning Zhou once dealt with--that is, believers in the Devil of Power.
"Hurry up and go back to Celia, and try to find a way to mix in. This group of people is in danger if you delay too long." Ning Zhou said.
