Astral Ants

Chapter 233 Xiao Yangshan, the door

The southern end of the giant mountain range is a mountainous area. Cuisi Lake is located in the mountainous area, which is easy to identify. The "Blue River" named by Longbai roars into the Cuisi Lake, and turns here, from the turbulent southeast flow to the calm southeast flow. .

In addition, more than ten rivers, large and small, flow into Cuisi Lake, forming a fertile plain forest around it.

There are only a few small mountains around the lake, a few hills, and only one large-scale mountain peak, which can be dug right away.

Searching on the cliff facing the lake, with a little effort, I found the entrance.

Parallel passages lead to living caves, all empty.

The spiral downward main passage is a branch road at intervals, leading to a cave.

It's all empty.

Long Bai and Mo Lan trotted down the main passage, scanning their mental power, and reached the end quickly.

There is no slough of god-given seed.

There is no rough stone.

There are no extraterrestrial civilizations.

No tree heart survived.

Nothing was found, wasting seventeen days.

"Long Bai, where are you going? Back to Bailian Lake?"

"According to my observations, in a short time, Yexiang's God-Bestowed Seed will not wake up."

"It's late autumn, and it's time to consider traveling merchants in the north. Go to Mount Citi? After we left last time, I don't know what Huang Zhuo did to cause violent force fluctuations. Aren't you curious?"

"Not curious. I won't be foolishly led away by curiosity."

Cymbidium:"???"

Mo Lan: "...I won't either."

Mo Lan was a little annoyed, and said, "Then go to Xiaoyang Mountain? First dig up the remains of Xiaoyang Mountain?"

Long Bai: "Listen to you."

listen to me?It is clear that you want to go there.

Mo Lan tilted her head, squinting coldly.

Throne of Reign takes off, heading north.

……

Precipitous mountains.

Evergreen trees, cotinus cotinus red leaves, withered yellow deciduous leaves.

The three colors of blue, red and yellow are clustered and banded, with distinct layers.

Falcons soar in the blue sky, sheep and deer flock in the forest.

Between the two mountains, there is a long and narrow lake, and on both sides are golden forests composed of poplar trees.

The ruling throne was slowly descending to dock at the lakeside. Mo Lan's sharp eyes suddenly made a discovery, and she raised her claws and pointed, "Longbai! Over there!"

Long Bai looked intently, under the cliff, among the grass and vines, there was a touch of disharmonious white.

Can this be seen by you?

Long Bai was speechless, controlled the direction of the ruling throne, accelerated, and approached laterally.

Overgrown by weeds and vines, the sliding door from the wreckage of the starship is half buried in the dirt.

Painted white doors.

Long Bai raised his paw and tapped it, and immediately determined that it was the kind of light original energy metal commonly used by extraterrestrial civilizations.

The black frame should be a king-level Zerg warrior of the metal department. It was made with metal abilities and solidified with abilities. It has been immortal for thousands of years.

This was once the territory of the Blue Stinkbug Tribe with metal elemental talents.There is a record in the Hall of Knowledge on Mt. Citi that they once mastered the technology of dismantling the doors of the starship, dismantled all the doors that could be dismantled in the starship, and transported them back to Xiaoyangshan.

Really!

Mo Lan hurriedly jumped off the throne, stepped forward to check, and then shouted in surprise:

"Long Bai! There is no lock!"

Long Bai controlled the throne to land smoothly, and then stepped forward to check that there was indeed no lock, not that there was no lock, but that the door lock had been removed.The insect king-level blue bug warrior used metal abilities to add two handles that are easy to push and pull to open and close.

"It can be opened! Clean up the dirt in front of the door!"

"it is good!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan began to dig the soil with their claws.

The entrance gate of the cave is about four meters wide and three meters high.

Over the years, a layer of soft soil more than one meter thick has accumulated at the door, which is easy to clean up and dug up quickly.

The tip of the claw clasps the handle, pull it left and right, it will loosen with a little force, and you can easily pull it apart.

Entering the door is a spacious living room.

It wasn't empty, there was a blue stinkbug warrior sculpture made of bright black metal, nearly four meters long, standing above it.

On the left and right sides, there are two metal doors.

"Wow!" Mo Lan cheered, and ran to the left.

Long Bai followed.

The single door originally had a lock, but it was removed and replaced with a handle.

Easy to pull apart.

Behind the door is a wide passageway forward horizontally.

Walking forward for about ten meters, there is a single door on the left. Open it, and there is a cave directly behind, which should be used for living by Zerg warriors.

The entrance is the living room, and there are two small caves inside, which should be bedrooms and storage rooms.

Empty.

Ten meters ahead, there is another single door on the right. Similarly, the entrance is a spacious living room with two small caves.

Continue to move forward, about ten meters, and there is another single door on the left...

Look carefully, there are character numbers engraved on the top of each door.

The most powerful thing is that there is a round hole in each room, and there are metal pipes removed from the starship inside.

These ducts have airflow passing through them, inflow and outflow.

An ingenious ventilation design that still works today!

"I understand!"

Mo Lan suddenly came to her senses and said, "Long Bai, they are imitating the room layout inside the starship!"

Long Bai: "...Yes. Imitation."

Looking at the deep passage, Mo Lan said, "This is the area where the blue bug fighters live together! It's located in the middle and upper layers of the mountain range, along the mountain range to the north."

Mo Lan: "The treasure should be on the other side, the south!"

"Smart!" Long Bai turned around and returned to the entrance hall.

Mo Lan opened the door on the right side of the hall first, and rushed in.

It is also a horizontally forward cave passage.

There is a door every four or five meters.

Open it and check, it is a separate cave, inside which are neatly piled up the remains of the god-bestowed seed cut into pieces.

Sure enough, this is the treasure house area.

After careful inspection, it is the slough of some kind of poplar tree bestowed by the gods.

Check room by room, it's all about this thing.

Going forward, hundreds of rooms are full, and there are at least three wild sloughs of the God-given Seed, which are too many to be used up, and it is no longer rare.

Go any further and the rooms are empty.

The Blue Stinkbug tribe was also once rich and powerful.

The horizontal and straight kilometer passage turns downward at the end, and there is a wide and straight horizontal passage below. The treasure house rooms are neatly distributed.

Unfortunately, it was all empty.

There was no rough stone left that Long Bai and Mo Lan expected, and no tree heart or other extraterrestrial civilization creations were found.

"Long Bai, will you tear down the door?" Mo Lan turned to the door.

"I won't—" Long Bai was extremely disappointed.

According to the map records of Mt. Citi, there were about [-] Blue Stinkbug tribe warriors living in Xiaoyangshan, and they controlled five rough ore mines, and there were other warriors of the same tribe scattered on other hills. A big family worthy of the number.

All that remained was some god-given wreckage and metal doors.

The doors were all removed from the starship by the ancestors of the blue bug tribe. They probably worried that their doors would be removed by other insects, so they reinforced them during installation.

The door frame made by the metal system is firmly embedded in the stone wall and is unbreakable.The door is firmly installed on the door frame and fixed skillfully, neither affecting the opening and closing nor being dismantled.

Seeing Mo Lan drooping his tentacles, Long Bai comforted him, "The ghost fan is an awakened metal-type ability. In the future, the ghost fan will evolve to the king level, so bring it here to dismantle it! We'll dismantle it all."

Mo Lan: "I'm already the king of insects, do you still care about these broken doors?"

Long Bai: "If it is well-preserved, send it to the Ten Thousand Races Continent, and one leaf can be sold for a high price of tens of thousands of rough stones."

"Oh!" Mo Lan flicked her tentacles, silently calculated, cheered up, and echoed: "Bring the ghost fan over here! Take it all down!"

Long Bai waved his claws and said, "Go back to the throne first and rest!"

……

The ruling throne stopped by the lake, had enough food and drink, and rested for half a day. Long Bai and Mo Lan entered the ruins again.

After careful inspection of the blue stinkbug sculpture in the hall, nothing was found.

Enter the residential area again, go forward along the passage, Long Bai checks the left side, Mo Lan checks the right side, and opens and checks room by room.

empty.

empty.

still empty...

"Long Bai!"

At the end of the passage, Mo Lan, who was running ahead, called out, with a hint of sadness in her mind.

Long Bai's mental power was fully deployed, sweeping away.

The push-pull door was dug into a spacious circular hall with a diameter of about 20 meters. The metal walls were engraved with patterns and symbols.

In the center, the corpse of a Zerg warrior was left with only an empty shell, so it took too long, and the six legs and tentacles had all fallen off.

Mo Lan raised her claws to touch it, and tried to lift the carapace. With a crackling sound, the remaining carapace broke.

Mo Lan Lightning retracted her claws, watching the carapace collapse in front of her in a panic, turning into pieces all over the place.

"Long Bai—" Mo Lan subconsciously called out.

"It's okay. Turn around and wrap it in a spider silk bag, take it out, and send this senior to the ground." Long Bai comforted, and ran in at a faster pace.

Mo Lan was suddenly emotional, raised her claws and pointed at the debris on the ground, shouting fiercely: "Long Bai! There is something!"

"Things?" Long Bai's mental power swept over again, and he found something.

A large blue 'bird egg' with metallic luster.
