Chapter 238: Ownerless Incense (1)

Translator: 549690339

The people from Spiced Spicy Hot Dumpling felt disgusted by the thing covering their heads.

Although they had even lied on feces in the simulation battle, in their opinion, the simulation battle was just a simulation!

It didn’t matter what happened in the simulation. After all, the status would refresh after leaving the battlefield.

But reality was different. Disgusting was truly disgusting.

Ji Ruo ignored them and followed the White Devil Ants to the nest.

Ji Ruo originally thought that the nest of the White Devil Ants was underground, but in fact, it was indeed underground.

They had hollowed out a small mountain that was more than a hundred meters tall. The ant paths in the mountain were crisscrossed, and there was an unknown underground space below the horizon. The number of ant colonies was extremely large.

The interior of the mountain was like a huge translucent glass mine. Looking up, one could even vaguely see the White Devil Ants in the passage above.

There was a small hole at the top of the cave. Moonlight poured in and was reflected in the crystal glass, making the entire cave look quite bright.

The White Demon Ants moved through the ant path in an orderly manner without interfering with each other. They were like a huge and precise instrument and its components.

Liang Shixian explained, ” It’s said that monsters like the White Demon Ants were actually just ordinary termites thousands of years ago. They evolved under the influence of the arrival of the mythical realm, and their body size skyrocketed.”

They still maintained most of their habits from thousands of years ago. In order to support their fragile bodies, they evolved a hard exoskeleton, but because of this, they gained weight and easily collapsed the nest. Therefore, the queen ant let some worker ants evolve a special gland organ that allowed them to secrete a special mucus that crystallized the soft soil.

Therefore, the current appearance of the nest was not naturally formed.”

Ji Ruo looked at Liang Shixian in surprise.””Class monitor, you have quite a wide range of knowledge! I remember that this is knowledge that only second-year students will be involved in, right?”

Liang Shixian chuckled and said,” As the class monitor, I have to learn more. Otherwise, if my classmates ask me questions in the future and I can’t answer them, won’t I become a joke?” Moreover, the subject of dissecting demon creatures was actually quite interesting.”

“Class monitor is awesome!”

Ji Ruo gave him a thumbs up and led the members of the club to follow the White Devil Ants to the lower level of the nest.

These resources had to be transported to specific locations for storage. Ji Ruo had quite a good grasp of the knowledge of demon creatures.

He knew that whether it was the White Devil Ant or any other ant tribe, the queen ant was the strongest existence in the entire tribe. However, most of the time, it only existed as a reproductive machine.

Under normal circumstances, the ant queen only needed to do two things: Eat, raw.

Its descendants would be responsible for all its daily needs.

“Everyone, be careful next.”

Ji Ruo suddenly said in a serious tone,” The villagers we are looking for should be in the place where the White Demon Ants store their supplies. Everyone, pay attention when the time comes.’

In order to make it easier for the queen ant to eat, the white devil ants would store their supplies very close to the queen ant.

Judging from the scale of this ant nest, the ant queen probably had the strength of a three-star or even a four-star!

Demons like the queen ant, which were unable to move, might not have strong individual combat abilities, but they could control an entire race. Naturally, their mental strength was abnormally strong.

To put it simply, the ant queen was very good at mental control and mental attacks.

Although Disguise and Substitution were powerful, they were not omnipotent.

For example, when Ji Ruo was facing Aunt Jinglan and Shenmu in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, these two abilities did not have much effect. The low level of the two skills was one thing, but the difference in strength could not be ignored.

Therefore, he had to be careful.

Everyone nodded seriously, although they still felt that it was ridiculous that they could really sneak in…

Ji Ruo and the others followed the white devil ants down. The deeper they went, the thicker and sturdier the crystallized soil became.

Moreover, because these crystals were formed by the condensation of some kind of bodily fluid secreted by the White Devil Ants, the smell was naturally not very friendly. Ji Ruo even recalled the scene when he stole the school’s manure pit.

Jiruo muttered softly,” I wonder if Grandpa Shenmu will accept this thing. I’ll

find some time to knock a few pieces down and bring them back. It’s a little

unreasonable not to bring some local specialties on this trip.”

“Meow -(Master, what did you say?)

“It’s nothing.”

“Meow -(1 heard eat!) What delicious food!”

Ji Ruo was speechless.

They passed through the pitch-black crystal wall corridor. The thickness of the surrounding crystal wall had probably reached seven to eight meters. There were many impurities in the crystal wall, so the light from the outside could barely pass through.

When he arrived at the storage room, there were actually many glowing stones inside. The dark blue light kept reflecting, and it was actually brighter than the upper floor.

“It’s really beautiful.”

Ji Ruo quietly picked up a few luminous stones and stuffed them into his pocket.”Let’s begin. Everyone, be careful. If there’s a need to communicate, leave it to me.”

“Alright.”

They gently put down the wood or plant roots that they had put on for show and began to search.

There were a lot of things in the storage room, but there were not many things that humans could use. The things collected by the white devil ants were naturally only usable by the white devil ants.

Ji Ruo walked deeper into the forest alone. In front of him, there was a tree trunk that looked like a simple coffin on the back of a White Devil Ant. He wanted to take a look.

The further they went in, the worse the smell in the air became. Even Luo Qian was about to faint from the smell. Even Ji Ruo felt that his eyes were a little stinging. His cosmetic contact lenses did not have the ability to isolate smells.

Even so, Ji Ruo did not stop.

A moment later, Ji Ruo stealthily found the tree trunk that seemed to be a coffin.

“As expected…” Ji Ruo sighed as he looked at the corpse lying in the hollowed out trunk, which had already shown signs of decay.

It was one of the three missing villagers.

The corpse seemed to have exquisite makeup on its face, but because it had already begun to rot and the bumpy journey, the makeup on its face had long been ruined. It was not terrifying, but it looked a little disgusting.

The fatal wound was a penetrating wound at the back of his head. Other than that, his clothes were also torn in many places. Logically speaking, there should be many wounds on this corpse, but strangely, other than the penetrating wound at the back of his head, Ji Ruo did not find any other wounds.

“The corpse was disposed of?”

Ji Ruo frowned.

The young man walked around the simple coffin and found a few lines of small words on the side of the coffin. The name of the deceased, the date of birth and death, and so on.

“Niu Dabao…” Why didn’t the special effect of the red scarf bring Niu Li’s father back?”

At this moment, Niu Li’s father was confirmed dead, but it was also because of this that Ji Ruo was even more confused.

Where did Niu Dabao’s heroic spirit go?

“Oh

Suddenly, a faint white light shone beside Ji Ruo.

The white cat appeared in a daze.

“Da Bai?” Why did you come out? Didn’t you say that you don’t have the divine power of incense?”

The white cat also found it strange. She looked into the deeper part of the cave and said, ‘”‘1 don’t know either, Master… There seems to be an ownerless incense inside…’
