Qi Leren woke up not too early, but he was so tired that he yawned absently during breakfast, so Ning Zhou asked with concern whether he needed to sleep again.
“No, it’s okay, just getting a little sleepy.” Qi Leren yawned and filled himself with a mouthful of strong and bitter black coffee, which Celia gave him, although he didn’t like the taste at all , But it is really helpful for refreshing.
The beating number has dropped from 912 at bedtime to 710, which is a bad hint. Many people must have died last night, but they do n’t even know where those people are.
After having breakfast, the two set off again. Qi Leren watched Ning Zhou withdraw from the enchantment silently. He wanted to ask a lot of words, but in the end did not ask anything. On the one hand, he didn’t have much love experience. On the one hand, he felt that something was still good, but on the other hand, he was worried that his roots would make Ning Zhou embarrassed. This kind of entangled helplessness finally became his careful silence.
As he walked out of the enchantment, Qi Leren was surprised to find that the dense fog spread yesterday, and the appearance of the entire underground court was clearly displayed in front of his eyes—the uniform streets, clean to the weird ground, and If there is no “blue sky” above the ground.
After the mist dissipated, the west could really see the light of the holy fire, which was the palace of the queen of dragon ants.
Qi Leren looked at the thoughtful Ning Zhou looking at the sky, and couldn’t help laughing and asked, “This is what you secretly did last night?”
Ning Zhou’s ears were red, but he nodded admitting.
“It dispelled the fog and the demons here. You have done a good deed, why should you feel ashamed?” Qi Leren asked.
Ning Zhou didn’t answer, but Qi Leren understood what was in his heart.
Because he used evil forces.
This kind of education is contrary to the education he received from a young age, and the forces that continue to influence him are tempting him to go on a dangerous path. .
Qi Leren stepped forward boldly, holding his arm, and walking with him towards the direction of the dragon ant queen’s palace.
“Ning Zhou.”
“Ok.”
“But I’m so proud of you.”
“?”
“Because you are always doing good things and helping those in need, just like when you first met … you also helped me. At that time, I thought, how can there be such a beautiful and kind lady . “
Now Ning Zhou is not just blushing.
Qi Leren came along, and suddenly found the joy of teasing the “Goddess” in the sacrifice of the witch.
“So I fell in love with you at first sight!”
“!”
Qi Leren was really happy. He tilted his head, looked at Ning Zhou’s flushed face, and asked with a smile: “At that time, you still used a skill card called ‘Closed Zen’, didn’t you? I speak, are I still equipped? “
Ning Zhou shook his head.
“Why not? That’s a pity.” Qi Leren said.
“But I want to talk to you.” Ning Zhou replied.
Qi Leren was hit all of a sudden, he stopped and Ning Zhou stopped, and the two looked at each other and both blushed.
“Um … I … I want to talk to you too … I’m very happy.”
“Ok!”
Both laughed. Qi Leren thought he was stupid, but Ning Zhou was so stupid that he didn’t know it was in Ning Zhou’s eyes.
Along the streets where there were no fog or demons, the two talked all the way and headed west.
“Look, is that the Queen’s Palace?” Qi Leren, who climbed the roof, poked Ning Zhou with his elbow.
“should be.”
Just as he pointed his finger, a building like the ancient Roman Colosseum stood between the unmanned buildings, waiting for the two to set foot.
The language hawk hovering in the air, also screamed clearly, as if rejoicing to find a destination.
The goal was near, the two accelerated their pace and arrived at the palace an hour later.
Surprisingly, the interior of this building, similar to the Colosseum in Rome, was hollowed out, and the spiral steps of the giant conch guided the people down, and there were no guards around. This step leads to the ground. Each step is as wide as ten meters. When you look down, you can see the dark eyes below, and the cold wind blows from the bottom up. It is doubtful that this huge spiral step will always lead to hell.
Not far from this giant step is a deep underground canyon, where it seems to have engulfed a sun, and it emits a strong light from the ground, making people dare not go down to the seam and look down, because the light Standing on the ground and looking at the light, the eyes felt burned.
The light of the holy fire they had seen in the distance came from the underground Rift Valley.
The two walked down. After completely losing the light source above their heads, Qi Leren had to turn on the lantern. Even after seeing the power of the source, his vision was not good enough to see the path clearly in a pure black environment.
After walking down for a long time, finally there was a sound in front, and then there was light. A huge group of ants crawled over the underground steps, drilled out of the hole in the wall that had been bitten, and dangled with stones and dirt, and drilled into In another hole in the wall.
“What is this doing?” Qi Leren wondered.
“Build,” Ning Zhou said.
“Build? You mean build this king’s tomb?”
“Ok.”
“Let the ants build?” Qi Leren felt a little incredible.
“The ants are in charge of excavation, and the humans are in charge of decoration.”
Qi Leren thought about it carefully, this distribution is reasonable, and the physical work was done by this group of giant ants, so the workload of humans was reduced.
“I heard that it was built by humans in the tribes near the Jinghai Desert?” Qi Le people suddenly remembered the Valentin tribes passing by on the way to the underground ant city. This enthusiastic and kind ethnic group Ning Zhou mentioned in the letter , Has been destroyed under the attack of the demon.
Thinking of that **** and tragic scene, Qi Leren could not help but sigh heavily, and did not have the heart to tell Ning Zhou the unfortunate news.
Saying goodbye to the group of silent ant laborers, the two continued down the stairs, this time they reached the ground shortly. The bottom floor of this spiral staircase is a huge hall with eight roads leading to different directions. Each corridor is ten meters high, as if it were a giant kingdom. The ants walked silently through the corridor, but could not show them the way.
Qi Leren hesitated for a little while, only listening to Ning Zhou raising his head, looking at the brightly lit corridor and saying, “Someone is here.”
Soon, a virgin in a simple priest’s costume approached them. Although blindfolded by the black cloth, she seemed to be able to see the surroundings, and came to the two without hindrance. He bowed and said in a soft but cold voice: “I am the virgin who is responsible for guarding the torch. Come to meet the two. Are you here to participate in the Queen’s inheritance ceremony?”
Qi Leren took out the prophet’s armband, and the Holy Virgin touched the armband, and gave it back to the two: “The ceremony has ended, and it is inconvenient for the queen to meet foreign guests now. Please take a rest with me to a foreign hotel. “
The Holy Virgin’s words are reasonable, but Qi Leren shook his head. He came to do the task. The task request clearly stated that he should look for the dragon queen. If you do n’t see the queen, you may not be able to do the next task. On.
“We have something important and we must meet the Queen.” Qi Leren said.
The Virgin of the Holy Fire politely refused: “I’m really sorry, the Queen is inconvenient to meet foreign guests.”
Qi Leren felt the other party’s resolute attitude, and he knocked sideways: “Is the illusionist appointed by the Prophet, now here?”
“Mr. Illusionist? Yes, he is outside the hotel. You will see him later.”
Hearing the news that the illusionist was okay, Qi Leren was relieved, but felt wrong: “Since we are here instead of him, can he leave first?”
“I’m afraid not. Before the ceremony is over, no one can leave here, neither you nor me,” said the Virgin Flame calmly.
What exactly is going on?
Qi Leren was puzzled by this strange situation. There was definitely something wrong with the Queen Dragon Ant, which caused her to lose control of the demon’s rampant situation here, and the inheritance ceremony was also suspended. Now he and Ning Zhou’s task is to complete the ceremony and let the underground Ant City. Transition to the next Dragon Ant Queen.
However, the situation fell into a stalemate. After Qi Leren asked again to meet the Dragon Ant Queen and was still politely rejected, he was already thinking about the use of force. The virgin flame seemed to see his intention, took a step back, and a large group of giant soldier ants over two meters high came out of the corridor and stopped impassively in the aisle leading to the deep corridor.
The shells of this group of soldier ants have a strange feeling like metal, and their movements are uniform. It makes one wonder that this is a group of robots with metal shells.
“I’m very sorry, the inheritance ceremony is very important, and we can’t afford to lose anything at all.” The Virgin of Fire took a step back with a smile and stretched out her arms to guide the two. “Please follow me to the hotel.”
Never again? Sure enough, the ritual had gone wrong, as the mission background said, the dragon queen’s heir had been assassinated and killed.
How to do? Is it really necessary to follow her to the foreign hotel, and then quietly go to see the dragon ant queen while nobody is there?
Just as Qi Leren struggled, Ning Zhou, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Let her see me.”
The Virgin Flame raised her head in surprise, wondering why he made such an unreasonable request.
But the next second, she understood–
The familiar destruction power emerged from this young man. The body of the Virgin of the Holy Fire was convulsed like electricity. Black cloth blindfolded her eyes, preventing her from seeing the appearance of the man in front of her, but the power would not Deceive her. This power is even greater and more immortal than the torch burning in the cracks in the ground!
These flame virgins of the dragon queen worship the power of the queen of the ant queen, but as the dragon ant queen casts herself into the destroyer’s camp, they also worship the power of destruction. These two contradictory forces have been in existence for more than two decades. After the previous battle, it was silent because of the decline of one party. No one could have imagined it. Twenty years later, this terrifying force once again appeared in the underground Ant City.
There was a long, screaming scream in the depths of Wang Ting, and it was like a woman weeping during a difficult delivery. The painful sound was like someone scratching the eardrum with her nails. An old and excited voice shouted: “Your Majesty-!”
With the hoarse and exhausted voice of the queen of dragon ants, the whole palace was shaking slightly, and the virgin holy flame raised her skirt to guide the two of them: “The queen cannot move, please come with me.”
