When he finally reached the stone bridge in front of the Queen’s coffin, he found a giant boa constrictor guarding the coffin.
Genial immediately understood. The guide had been to this cave before, so he knew the way, but in the end he was shocked by the boa constrictor and did not dare to go forward.
This time he brought genial into the cave, obviously wanting to use genial’s hand to get rid of the boa constrictor.
However, at that time, the longevity flower on the sarcophagus was about to bloom. According to the guide, it would take at least ten years for the flower to fully bloom.
It turned out that the longevity flower would bloom every eighty years. It would take ten years for it to fully bloom from the moment it formed its bud. Although the flower bud had medicinal effects, it was not as effective as it would be when it fully bloomed.
However, the guide obviously could not wait for it to fully bloom. He brought gentle and the others in, thinking that it would be good to pick the flower bud.
Before entering the crypt, the guide had discussed with gentle. They would pluck two flower buds, one for each of them.
However, the situation at that time was a little chaotic. The Python was very ferocious and cunning, and its equipment at that time was also not good enough. The pistol could not penetrate the hard scales of the Python at all. Gentle managed to blow up one of its eyes, but the cold-blooded snakes relied on their sense of smell and vibration to identify them, so their eyesight could be ignored.
It was useless to blind the Python’s eyes, so gentle had to find another solution. However, the enraged Python swam over like a Mad Man and opened its bloody mouth to devour the people present.
Gentle was shocked. He knew that he was no match for it, so he could only save the godly doctor and drag him away.
Fortunately, the Python was responsible for guarding the coffin, so it did not dare to go too far away from the Queen’s sarcophagus. After devouring the intruders, it saw that the rest of the people had run far away, so it didn’t chase after them anymore. It retreated back to its original spot and continued its guarding work.
Gentle brought the Divine Doctor and ran all the way, accidentally entering the Queen’s Underground Palace. Coincidentally, the Divine Doctor knew the five elements technique. Under his guidance, he successfully opened the door of the underground palace and entered.
Everyone roamed around the underground palace and did not find any danger. They ate their fill and left the underground palace.
Although Lou Lan’s trip to the underground palace was empty-handed, it was not completely empty-handed. At least, it allowed gentle to understand the details of the underground cave and the power of the giant python guarding the Queen’s sarcophagus.
After exiting the underground cave, gentle said to the divine doctor, “We will try our best to find the ant nest and get the elixir of immortality that you mentioned. If we fail miserably, we can come back again!”
The godly doctor immediately understood and nodded, “If it really doesn’t work, we will take the risk and come back again. We will think of a way to kill that giant Python!”
Both of them understood that if they could not get the elixir of immortality, they would never have the chance to go back! Even if they went back, they would be killed by Commander Wang.
In order to survive, they had no other choice but to risk their lives. However, how could the elixir of life be so easy to obtain? Thus, they still left a way out for themselves.
After entering the center of the desert, after going through several twists and turns, they finally found the legendary ant nest.
Unexpectedly, this ant nest was also a palace! A palace that was similarly submerged by the desert!
The huge underground palace that was twisting and turning was filled with giant ants. Very quickly, they would gnaw people until only white bones were left!
It was said that these ants were called desert army ants, and they had a very strategic strategy. They were cunning and cruel, like a professional army, which was why they were called desert army ants.
However, these were not real desert army ants, because they were much larger than ordinary desert army ants, almost three times the size of normal army ants. From today’s perspective, they were clearly a “Mutated”species.
However, this kind of ant had a kind of honey juice that was as precious as gold in its body. Not only could it cure all diseases and delay aging, but it also had a significant aphrodisiac effect.
The ancient emperors were interested in this kind of army ant. They sent out troops to capture it, thinking of artificially raising it to extract the essence of the honey juice. However, this kind of ant was very precious. It could not survive outside of the desert environment. If it was transported back to the Central Plains, it would die in large numbers, destroying the emperors’dreams of immortality.
Of course, there were also some who would not give up. For example, the emperor of the Great Xia kingdom at that time, in order to fulfill his dream of immortality, he led his army into the desert and successfully found an oasis to settle down there, he also began to raise large numbers of desert army ants.
In order to increase the amount of honey extracted, the imperial physicians at that time used optimization techniques to eliminate the smaller ants, leaving behind the larger ones that were more toxic. This way, the amount of honey extracted would be more and the medicinal effects would be better.
