Chapter 357 – Breaking Into the Enemy

　　Seeing how determined Li Deyang was, Lin Qiye was stunned and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded.

　　When the several people were ready, they utilized rope descents to move down the vertical wall, bit by bit.

　　Although with their means, there were multiple ways to fully descend to the bottom of this crack, such as Baili Chubby’s [Yao Guang] or Lin Qiye’s verse, the situation at the bottom of this crack was still a mystery to Lin Qiye’s few people, and hastily moving the forbidden ruins with great fanfare might instead expose themselves and invite a swarm of ants to mobilize them.

　　From the start, Lin Qiye and the others were only targeting the queen ant, this kind of group emergence mystery, as long as the core head died, the other subunits would naturally dissipate, so trying to avoid fighting with the other giant ants was the best strategy.

　　In order to avoid exposing themselves, Lin Qiye also specifically left the iron box containing the soldier ants up there, otherwise with it communicating with its companions at all times, it would be a hell of a thing for Lin Qiye to be able to feel their way in silently.

　　Several people descended for a long time before Lin Qiye’s spiritual power probed to the bottom of the crack, his brows frowned slightly as he raised his hand and made a gesture.

　　The crowd immediately stopped descending.

　　What’s going on? Baili Chubby asked in a low voice.

　　There are worker ants down there.

　　How many are there? The entire bottom of the crack was filled with them. Lin Qiye’s gaze swept across the deep bottom and his face was incredibly grave, roughly estimating that there were at least four hundred of them.

　　More than four hundred?

　　The four people’s faces changed at the same time.

　　How could there be so many? Cao Yuan opened his mouth in disbelief, even if a group from the Sea realm mysteriously descended, the number couldnt be to such a terrifying point!

　　Initial descent, indeed impossible. Lin Qiye sighed, but don’t forget that this crack has been around for about two years ……

　　Are you saying that they have already descended and lived here in the cracks as early as two years ago? Li Deyang’s face turned blue.

　　Without any surprises, that should be the case. Lin Qiye nodded, During these two years, the ant queen kept reproducing new offspring, it’s not surprising that they could pile up to such a terrifying number.

　　And that’s just what I’ve perceived so far, the real amount will only be more than that. Lin Qiye added.

　　A few people fell into silence.

　　For a few of them, killing forty worker ants was fine, but if they were to fight with more than four hundred Chuan Realm worker ants, it was impossible for them to have the slightest chance of winning, not to mention that this was a narrow and extremely narrow fissure, and trying to escape was exceptionally difficult, and burying themselves in the belly of the ants was almost a certain outcome.

　　If so many giant ants were to come out of the forest and sweep through the city, it was estimated that several large cities around would fall directly. Li Deyang frowned, unless the special squad stepped in, there was no team that could stop them at all.

　　As if Li Deyang thought of something, he turned his head to Lin Qiye and said:

　　So many giant ants, even if you guys are more powerful, you simply can’t handle it, we have already scouted out the location of the anthill, this time it’s better to retreat back to the city and wait for the special squad to come over, let them handle it.

　　Li Deyang’s suggestion was very pertinent, no matter from which perspective, the current situation had completely exceeded the ability of Lin Qiye’s four people, the best plan to deal with the situation right now was to record the location of the anthill and retreat, if they were to be wiped out here, it would be a loss that would not be worth the gain.

　　Lin Qiye’s few people looked at each other and helplessly laughed bitterly.

　　Let the special squad handle it?

　　They themselves were the special squad!

　　They can’t just retreat like this and then tell Ye Fan that we can’t handle the problems here, so send a more reliable special team over ……

　　Anyways, this is also their squad’s first mission, if it ends in such a ridiculous way, who would be willing?

　　No, we won’t go back. Lin Qiye shook his head, as long as we avoid these worker ants and find that queen to carry out a decapitation operation, the probability of success is still high.

　　Cao Yuan and the others nodded in agreement.

　　But the problem is, how do we confirm the location of the ant queen? An Qingyu spoke in deep thought, The length of this crack is not short, and the view is very dark, and the terrain is not convenient for us to search this place thoroughly, and if we are not careful, we will attract more than four hundred worker ants down below to chase and kill them ……

　　I can turn into a worker ant and mix in with these worker ants to search for the queen’s location at the bottom of the crack. Lin Qiye said slowly.

　　”Seven Nights, are you sure? Baili Chubby couldn’t help but open his mouth, in case you’re discovered, you’ll be chased by hundreds of giant ants ……

　　Don’t worry, I know in my heart. Lin Qiye calmly said, You guys just wait for me here, don’t act rashly.

　　He removed the backpack from his back, and took off the bloated cold weather clothing on his body, handing it all over to Baili Chubby to put away, wearing only a thin black shirt, and carrying the two straight knives behind his back.

　　He unclipped the rope descent gear from his body and gently leapt off the side of the rock wall, heading towards the deep cracked bottom.

　　The remaining four looked at his figure as he disappeared into the darkness, their eyes filled with worry.

　　As Lin Qiye continued to descend, a magical glow flashed from his body, and the next moment the entire person shifted into a red worker ant.

　　Lin Qiye had already fought with this group of giant ants several times, and the worker ants that had died in his hands had to be seven or eight at least, so he was considered to have a better understanding of them, and at this moment, after changing into a worker ant, there wasn’t the slightest bit of flaw in terms of appearance at all.

　　He crawled quickly along one side of the wall, and shortly afterward, he got a good look at the bottom.

　　Only to see that at the bottom of the narrow crack, one after another red worker ants were crawling in neat formation, respectively in two opposite directions, surging like a tidal wave, causing one’s scalp to tingle just by looking at them.

　　At this moment, seeing another worker ant crawling down the sidewall, a few of them froze, seemingly unable to comprehend, but after confirming that it was their companion, they didn’t raise any suspicion and continued to follow the procession in the original direction.

　　The worker ant that Lin Qiye transformed into then smoothly mixed into one of the queues, mimicking the movements of the other worker ants and moving forward along the tide of ants.

　　Right now, Lin Qiye himself didn’t know which direction the ant queen was in, so he could only look in that direction first, and if there was none, then turn back and look in the other direction.

　　Lin Qiye walked in the worker ant line for about five minutes, and the distance between the rock walls on both sides became narrower and narrower, finally, at the end of the rift valley, he vaguely saw a huge white giant ant ……

　　That white giant ant was bigger than any giant ant Lin Qiye had ever seen, its height alone was nearly four meters, like a white mountain, and it was currently prostrate on the ground, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
