Chapter 62 The Queen’s Inheritance (I)

"At this time, this is the fossil lake." The lead man brought the two to a huge underground lake and introduced that, "The buildings nearby were built during the first generation of Dragon Ant Queen, and now they have collapsed and destroyed most of them. It is said that most of them are architectural styles in the Demon World. Later, with the entry of humans in the underground ant city, and many of the later Dragon Ant Queens were born in humans, and the style gradually moved closer to the human world."

Qi Leren and Ning Zhou stood in front of an ancient ruined building, looking at the vast underground lake ahead. The rich water vapor formed a large fog, floating on the underground lake. With waves of wind from underground caves, the water mist was constantly blowing and gathering.

What’s amazing is that there are a large number of fluorescent plankton floating in the lake, which is a deep fluorescent blue. With the storm of smoke, this huge underground lake is like a night sky with thin clouds, with bright stars and vastness.

"The scenery here is nice, but there seems to be no one?" Qi Leren asked.

The lead man pondered: "In the early years, people still lived here, but I don't know when it started. There were frequent violent conflicts here, and the chaos was even worse than that in the lower city. With the water monster incident, the residents here moved."

"Water Monster?" Qi Leren looked back at the Fluorescent Underground Lake, "Is there a Water Monster inside?"

"Yes, a vicious incident occurred when a water monster attacked nearby residents, causing thousands of deaths, alarmed the Dragon Ant Queen, and then ordered all to be relocated." said the lead.

Qi Leren whispered to Ning Zhou: "What does the water monster look like?"

Ning Zhou thought for a while: "Strange shape."

This means not saying anything. Qi Leren blinked in confusion. After thinking, water monsters are also a kind of monster. Of course, they all have all kinds of things. Some are more serious, and some are a little casual, but they are all monsters anyway.

"Is this water monster a demon? Or a demon?" Qi Leren asked again.

Although the names of demons and demons are very similar, there are still obvious differences. Among the higher demons, there are many races with rationality and human signs. However, no matter how powerful the demons are, their bodies are obviously non-human, and they have no rational and normal thinking ability.

The lead man shook his head and said, "We don't know either. The water monster appeared once and disappeared afterwards. Maybe the Dragon Ant Queen took action to clean it up."

"Then there is no need to relocate." Ning Zhou said incisively.

"That's right." The lead man smiled bitterly, "We are not qualified to understand the inside story of such confidential matters."

"Mrs. Catherine said where was the place where she saw someone suspected of Assi?" asked Qi Leren.

"It's this area, please come with me." The lead man pointed to a palace-style building complex that had been flooded by the lake, and led the two of them to the place.

There is almost no light source from the sun in the underground Ant City, but the creatures here naturally reproduce a set of lighting methods. Both humans and demons will eat foods that enhance night vision. In addition, there are fluorescent bacteria and vegetation everywhere. Over time, people here have a lot of demand for light. If they suddenly return to the earth world, they may not be able to adapt because of the strong light.

After the Qile people broke their shell, their eyesight was much better. After eating the food that Celia suggested, it would not be a problem to walk in the weak underground world now, but occasionally they would stagger by accident by staggering and uneven grounds - after all, there is not such a good infrastructure in the nightmare world. Apart from the dusk land, there are few places with flat cement or asphalt roads.

Ning Zhou walked half a step slower than him, and it turned out that this was very important, because when Qi Leren staggered, he reacted very quickly and held the person in one go.

He wouldn't say "I'll take you away", but in fact he did that.

When the leader turned around and was about to speak, his open mouth stuck on his face when he saw the hands of the two holding each other, and his voice turned into a cough.

Ning Zhou had no expression on his face, as if it was natural for men to hold hands with him. Qi Leren pretended to look at the scenery: "The scenery here is really nice, and it's good to come and have time to take a walk nearby."

Ning Zhou also responded to him: "Yes."

The guide didn't understand very well what was worth dating in a place where there were water monsters and people who were often missing and killed... but he held up a embarrassed but polite smile very strongly: "Yes, but be careful."

Qi Leren has discovered that Ning Zhou is very shy in some aspects, but is very "quiet" in others. For example, he feels that two people who are already engaged can hold hands, so he will not care about the occasion and will not feel embarrassed about being seen.

But in the same way, he believed that there was no hope of not getting married if he could not do anything before getting married.

While Qi Leren is like a young man in love, she is ready to move under the influence of hormones, and at the same time she feels that she is really a dirty adult. She has just started to imagine her sex life.

At this moment, Qi Leren is very optimistic and confused and confident that he should be able to push Ning Zhou down. After all, Ning Zhou is so innocent, why isn’t he the only one who teaches him? But you can’t be so anxious. If you scare Ning Zhou, it’s not good to start from the primary teaching, such as finding an opportunity to teach you how to kiss at the right time, place, and atmosphere.

Qi Leren, who was a little excited, a little expectant, and a little shy, couldn't help but smile too happily.

Leader: I don’t know why, but I feel that I’m a little annoying, so I should walk away quickly...

After taking the two to their destination, the guides from other tasks left, leaving only Qi Leren and Ning Zhou, walking slowly among the ruins of the palace.

The surrounding buildings have indeed been severely damaged, but they can vaguely see the unique style. For example, the temple in front of me is only a few rows of scattered columns. The height of the complete columns is more than forty meters, which is already very grand from a distance. When you look closer, you will find that each column requires seven or eight people to hold it together. Standing under the column and looking up, this amazing height makes people feel awe. The temple has been tilted as a whole because of the falling foundation and the rising lake water. The half facing north has been flooded by the lake water and has been slightly obliquely inserted into the water, while the part facing south has not been swallowed by the lake water.

"The buildings in the Demon Realm are usually much taller than those in the human world," said Ning Zhou.

"Why?" Qi Leren asked.

Ning Zhou looked at the rows of neat but damaged pillars in front and said slowly: "Because many demons don't like to maintain human form."

Qi Leren immediately remembered the huge black dragon in the Purgatory Fire Lake. With its size, it can only move in such a giant building. I wonder if the dragon-shaped demons have some special hobbies, such as collecting gold coins and treasures...

"There are signs of fighting here." Ning Zhou's voice woke up Qi Leren who was still sleepwalking.

Qi Leren quickly came back to his senses and observed them carefully. Natural collapse was different from the damage caused by combat. Qi Leren lacked experience, but Ning Zhou could see at a glance that he could even restore some details of the fight in his mind. For example, the pillar in front of him was broken during the fight, and the bloodstain under his feet was left with severe scratches when he hit the ground.

"These are two masters, at least they have broken their shells." Ning Zhou said.

"In my impression, although Mrs. Catherine's descendants had killing seeds, they had average strength," recalled Qi Leren.

"Someone!" Ning Zhou pulled the Qile people over and avoided the pillar.

Both of them were silent, adjusting their breathing and heartbeat.

There were slight footsteps of a group of people coming from afar, as well as the sound of cloth dragging on the ground, and even light.

A mysterious team passed through the hall, holding a skeleton lamp in their hands, wearing a thick long cloak, and a hood covering their faces. The group of people lowered their heads and chanted words like spells in a low voice. When they listened intently, they were actually hypnotized and enchanted.

Qi Leren quickly twisted himself, Ning Zhou looked at him with concern. Qi Leren pointed to his lips and pointed to the group of mysterious cloaked men, indicating to be careful of their spells. Seeing that Ning Zhou was not affected at all, Qi Leren was a little relieved.

The front row of the team was full of cloaked men carrying skeleton lamps, but behind the team was a group of ragged humans. They closed their eyes, and each of them showed an intoxicated and dazed look on their faces, with a strange smile on their faces, and walked forward like a group of docile sheep.

The Qile people immediately felt something was wrong. What were these cloaked people doing?

Ning Zhou suddenly felt something, and his eyes stared straight at one of the people moving forward. The man looked like the people around him, unarmed and smiling, but just as Ning Zhou looked at him, he also turned his head, grinned at him with interest, and then continued to walk forward before the cloaked man found it.

There was no road ahead. The north of this hall was already submerged in the underground lake. When we walked forward, we could only see the lake water soaked with fluorescent algae. But these people seemed to be unable to see the road, carrying skeleton lamps, chanting vague spells, and walking towards the lake.

As they approached, the fluorescence on the lake became more and more dazzling. At first, the light of stars and stars gradually gathered into a dazzling blue, making people unable to open their eyes!

A wonderful sound sounded in the light, and it was hard to describe whether it was a song or a mantra. It was like a pious prayer of a believer, or a desperate whine before death. Just listening to it made people tremble all over. In the void, there seemed to be a huge eyeball staring at everyone on this land, including the two hiding behind the pillars.

Qi Leren's eyes widened, his heartbeat increased, and his whole body seemed to be covered in a petrified spell.

In this strange sound, the group of mysterious cloaked men walked into a blue light and were quickly swallowed by the light.

The blue light gradually faded, and the fluorescent plants on the lake dimmed again, but the figures of the cloaked people and humans could no longer be seen in the palace. Everything was quiet, decadent, absurd, and terrifying.

"What... is this?" Qi Leren woke up from the shocked fear just now, leaning towards Ning Zhou with lingering fear.

"Cult Sacrifice." Ning Zhou was more experienced than him, and it was not difficult to see what this group of people was going to do. What he cared more about was the person who smiled at him in the crowd just now. The man obviously discovered the two people hiding behind the pillar, but did not expose their existence. And he himself, for some unknown purpose, seemed to be playing the role of cult Sacrifice.

"Where are them?" Qi Leren asked again.

"It should be that I have entered a fixed semi-domain, and you can understand that members of the Secret Killing Association entered the semi-domain barrier to conduct secret rituals." Ning Zhou said.

Qi Leren suddenly realized that similar situations occurred during the previous killing secret mission, but this group of people was even more strange and I don’t know what they were from.

"Which demon is this group of people going to worship?" Qi Leren asked.

"Unsure." Ning Zhou shook his head.

There are too many demons, and this is an underground ant city. In addition to the belief in demons, demons also have endless disasters, and the situation is more complicated than anywhere else. However, the mantras recited by these people are a little familiar, such as the believers of the ideal country that Ning Zhou once dealt with - that is, believers of the Demon King of Power.
