The more wine they drank, the more they drank. Jiao Fu and Pei Da's faces turned red, and they drank as much as they could. After a while, they fell drunk in the restaurant. Wei Shiqi didn't want to break the long-standing practice, so he ordered Yang Ming to follow the gods. Fengtuo discussed it and decided to sell the stone house at the junction of the upper and lower city areas so that the two of them could stay temporarily. Yang Ming lowered her eyebrows and was respectful, not finding this matter difficult at all. Kamikaze camels like to build stone houses in the open air, with a handful of wet mud in the gaps to store firewood and raw meat for the deacons running errands to rest. There are many such strongholds. Elder Han opened his mouth and thought that they would be happy to offer them.
The two of them slept in a dark sleep, snoring like thunder. It took a whole day and night before they woke up. They had a splitting headache. You looked at me and I looked at you. I didn’t know where I was. It took a lot of effort to wake up. Think about it.
Jiaofu is a lonely man with nothing to worry about, but Pei Da is different. After all, he comes from a wealthy family, and he is suddenly recruited by Elder Han, so he always has some tricks to deal with. He hurried out and found Pei Rong, the housekeeper, and bid farewell to him, telling him where he was going and asking him to tell the clan leader. Pei Rong did not dare to neglect and reported the matter to the clan leader Pei Qiong. It is said that Pei Qiong pondered for a long time before letting him go. After he was released, Pei Rong was called to the clan leader and interrogated carefully for a long time. He uncovered all the past events of Pei Da's ancestors for eight lifetimes, but still couldn't figure out what Elder Han valued about him.
Jiao Fu and Pei Da settled down in the stone house and hugged their thick legs, but no one dared to harass them. Gradually, demon slaves whom he knew came to his door. The corner man was cautious and entertained him well with wine and meat, but he never mentioned the matter of taking him in. Pei Da was used to being served, and he wanted to find two long-term followers. Seeing the corner man's behavior , I had to suppress my thoughts.
A few days later, Wei Shiqi came to find the two of them and hurried out of the city.
The bodies of the sea monsters outside the city have been cleaned up, leaving only pools of blood on the snowfield, red to purple, purple to black, the fields are deserted and desolate. Looking at it, the deserted northern city is like a big snake, wrapping around the snowy peaks and heading towards the sky, silent.
The hornman wrapped his animal skin tightly, rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, where are we going?"
Wei Shiqi said: "Go to Jiujie Ant I found the ant queen in the nest. I have something to ask her."
"Ji...Ji...Ji Ying-sama?" Kakuo felt shocked and his tongue was tied.
"It seems that she is called by that name. Why, are you afraid of her?"
Kakufu smiled bitterly: "Afraid, why not? That Ji Ying is the queen of ants, with great magical powers and command. Tens of millions of Nine-section Ants, I heard... I heard that she also serves the devil underground, and there are people behind her. Even the two deputy city lords Jin and Shen turned a blind eye and did not dare to offend her too much. ."
"Well, you two are not strong enough to deal with the Queen Ant. When I find the nest of the Jiujie Ant, I will go down to see Ji Ying. You guys wait outside so as not to get in the way. "
Jiaofu was relieved when he heard this, but felt very embarrassed, and said sarcastically: "I wonder what the Lord wants to do with her?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate. How could he be tolerated in the Lord's affairs? Inquiring, wouldn’t it be a mess?The rules have been lost!
He frowned and regretted that he had talked too much.
Wei Shiqi was not so particular and said casually: "Last time the sea demon attacked the city, we missed the opportunity. This time we will ask the ant queen to introduce the underground demon to see who it is."
The corner man opened his mouth wide in surprise and swallowed a mouthful of cold wind. He choked and coughed repeatedly, even coughing out tears. Pei Fu cautiously interrupted: "The devil under the snowfield is just a legend, and it may not be true. However, I heard from the elders of the clan that many years ago there was a traitor who offended the public and deserved to be executed. However, he risked his life and killed him out of the city. The nest of the nine-section ant fled underground and disappeared without a trace."
Jiao Fu slapped his thigh and said, "It is indeed true. That person... seems to be named Pei Ding, and he is from the Diamond Ape clan. He is a prodigy with pure blood and brilliant talent, but he has developed magic powers in a daze."
Pei Ding sighed: "Yes, it is said that Pei Ding's bloodline 'returns to his true nature', which is rare in thousands of years. At first sight, it was unique. If it were back then, the Diamond Ape Clan would have been firmly classified as a demon guard by virtue of Pei Ding's bloodline. Unfortunately, the era of sky demons has ended. No matter how powerful Pei Ding's bloodline is, they can't compete with the Soul Refining Divine Weapon. In comparison, it will only make people jealous."
"What did he do?"
Pei Ding smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that Pei Ding was restless and colluded with outsiders in order to stand on his own feet. As the leader of the clan, he ended up being betrayed and separated from his relatives... I can’t tell you the specific details. The clan kept it secret and rarely mentioned it. Someone was drunk that day, so he revealed something about it.”
Let’s talk about it, it’s true. Not feeling bored, the three of them walked quickly and arrived at the nest of the Nine-section Ant in no time. Looking around, he saw a vast expanse of ice and snow. He didn't know where the entrance was. Pei Da scratched his head and muttered: "Those black bugs with wings are not very good at handling and they blocked it up so quickly..."
The hornman braced himself, rolled on the ground and revealed his true form. It turned out to be a huge anteater. He stretched out his nose to search for the scent of nine-segmented ants in the snow. He stopped and walked, stopped and walked, It took a while to find the nest of the nine-section ant.
The two of them worked together to peel away the ice and snow, revealing the dark frozen soil. Under the frozen soil were hard rocks, stacked in countless layers, unshakable and as solid as the ground.
Wei Shiqi gestured to them and said: "You guys just wait nearby. If anything goes wrong, just go back to Huangbei City without delay." After that, he twisted his waist and was already there. Disappear underground.
Jiao Fu stuck out his tongue and said: "What kind of magical power is this? Earth escape technique?"
Pei Fu was born in a wealthy family. After all, he was well-informed and said: "It's not earth escape." In the Earth Escape Technique, one needs to pinch a handful of soil and scatter it, then move quickly along the ground. This seems to be an Earth Escape Technique..."
The voices of the two penetrated the earth and rocks and reached Wei Shiqi's ears, Then it became distant and low, and quickly disappeared. His body sank into the thick earth and rocks, and after turning a few times, his feet suddenly became empty, and he fell into the nest of the nine-section ant.
The passages connect underground caves one after another, extending in all directions.Unexpectedly, there was no one around, and there was no sign of the nine-segmented ants. They seemed to be afraid of the enemy and abandoned their nests, never planning to come back.
Wei Shiqi looked like a ghost and broke into the lair. He estimated that he was already very deep underground. If he had to perform his magic in a wrong place, he might not even be able to find his way back.
He stopped and stood still, closed his eyes, and calmed down physically and mentally. He could only hear his breathing, his heartbeat, and blood flow. The next moment, all the sounds receded, and he seemed to be with the earth. Integrated into one, without distinction between each other. Divine consciousness is like ripples, spreading outward in circles, exploring every corner from near to far. I don't know how long it took, Wei Shiqi suddenly opened his eyes on a whim, and two cold stars lit up in the darkness, shining brightly, as if he had seen through many obstacles.
He twisted his waist and sank into the bottomless ground.
