"Damn it! They're attacking!"

Seeing several Dungeon Sand Ants charging over, Xi Ye's expression changed, and he roared.

Nan Qi and Mo Li's expressions also changed slightly.

They didn't hesitate at all and attacked immediately.

Fireballs and arrows shot out, killing two Dungeon Sand Ants, and Xi Ye also swung his longsword, cutting a Dungeon Sand Ant's head in half.

However, more and more Dungeon Sand Ants continued to scream as they charged towards the three Cat Person warriors.

For a time, a fierce battle began between the two sides.

Lu Yuan had been following behind Xi Ye and the others when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound.

He glanced ahead with some confusion.

What happened?

He quickly continued running forward.

Soon, he saw a deep pit in the floor of the passage.

Then, Lu Yuan heard Xi Ye's roar, as well as the hissing of the Dungeon Sand Ants, and the sounds of battle.

This pit, this sound...

"A Dungeon Sand Ant Ant Nest?!"

Lu Yuan's expression changed instantly.

Yesterday, Lu Yuan had read the Sandstone City Bestiary, and naturally, he had also seen the introduction about the Dungeon Sand Ants.

If you encountered a small group of Dungeon Sand Ants in the dungeon passage, it was okay to kill them if you could beat them.

But if you encountered a Dungeon Sand Ant nest, the author of that bestiary only gave two words.

And that was: Run.

If you entered a Dungeon Sand Ant Ant Nest, you would be regarded as an intruder, and all the Sand Ants would rush over to besiege you.

If one wasn't enough, then ten, if ten weren't enough, then a hundred.

Until the intruder was killed.

You should know that a Dungeon Sand Ant Ant Nest has tens of thousands of Sand Ants.

They would besiege you in a group, with an overwhelming number. Even if you were strong, you wouldn't be able to hold on after your spirit energy was exhausted.

Gene Warriors also get tired.

What's more, in addition to ordinary worker ants, there were also elite-level soldier ants.

If it was a giant Ant Nest, there might even be boss-level existences!

Not to mention boss-level Dungeon Sand Ants, would you survive if you were besieged by a group of elite-level soldier ants?

Although Lu Yuan's defense was not weak now, he still couldn't withstand elite-level soldier ants.

Elite soldier ants are different from Black-Striped Graystone Beetles; the tempering degree of Black-Striped Graystone Beetles is inherently lower.

The moment Lu Yuan saw this information, he had already decided that he would never court death by going to a Dungeon Sand Ant Nest.

To think he'd actually encounter an Ant Nest here?

Lu Yuan's first thought was to retreat.

However... listening to the sounds of battle from the pit below, Lu Yuan's expression changed constantly, and he felt conflicted.

I've at least used a bottle of defense Amplification Potion worth 10,000 yuan... Could it be that I won't get any gains at all?

That's 10,000 yuan!

But for 10,000 yuan, it wouldn't be worth it if he got surrounded by Dungeon Sand Ants...

Lu Yuan was conflicted, but his feet involuntarily moved, cautiously approaching the pit.

"Well... I'll just take a look. With my defense, ordinary worker ants can't break through it at all. As long as I'm not surrounded by elite soldier ants, or worker ants with particularly high tempering degrees, I should be safe. At the very least, I have to watch those three Hunters die. Of course, it would be best if they could drop something good."

Lu Yuan kept comforting himself in his heart.

Before long, he arrived at the edge of the pit.

Lu Yuan looked down.

He saw a pit about five meters deep.

On both sides of the pit were two dark passages.

Dungeon Sand Ants were constantly running out of the passages, attacking the three Cat Person Hunters in the center of the pit.

The three Cat Person Hunters were quite strong.

Especially since they had taken potions, and the effects hadn't worn off yet, their strength was naturally even greater.

All the Dungeon Sand Ants that attacked them were killed.

The ground was already covered with a thick layer of Dungeon Sand Ant corpses, about twenty or so.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows as he watched.

If this continues, when there are more Dungeon Sand Ant corpses, they might be able to block the passage?

"Then these three Cat Person Hunters can run out?... No, I'm still here, wouldn't they be caught by me?!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, realizing that this wasn't bad either?

Xi Ye and the other two Cat People also noticed that the corpses were gradually increasing.

Xi Ye's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of surprise:

"Let's use the sand ant corpses to block the passage!"

"Good idea!"

Nan Qi's eyes lit up: "Xi Ye! You go, you're the strongest! The two of us will support you!"

Xi Ye: "..."

His lips twitched, but he couldn't find a way to refute.

Just then, the Dungeon Sand Ants also noticed this.

Several Dungeon Sand Ants didn't pounce on the three Cat Person Hunters, but instead picked up the corpses of the dead Dungeon Sand Ants and retreated into the tunnel.

The Dungeon Sand Ant corpses that had originally covered the ground were quickly cleared away.

Xi Ye's group of three's expressions instantly turned ugly.

Nan Qi cursed, "Are these ants becoming spirits?! Their intelligence is so high!"

Molly looked at the constantly rushing out Dungeon Sand Ants, her face pale:

"What do we do?! At this rate, we'll be exhausted to death sooner or later!"

Xi Ye's face was gloomy. He casually killed a Dungeon Sand Ant, feeling his spirit energy rapidly depleting again.

Suddenly, Xi Ye thought of something, his expression changed:

"Right, what about that human?!"

The other two were stunned, and they simultaneously looked up at the top of the pit.

Then they saw Lu Yuan squatting at the edge of the pit, silently watching them.

When Lu Yuan saw them looking over, he waved at them, revealing a smile:

"Hello, three Cat Person friends, with my turtle-like speed, I didn't expect to catch up with you again."

The three Cat Person Hunters: "..."

Seeing the smile on Lu Yuan's face, they wanted to grind their teeth to pieces.

Especially Nan Qi, who had mocked Lu Yuan with those words before, gnashed his teeth at this moment, wishing he could smash a Fireball at Lu Yuan.

In the end, he still smashed the Fireball onto a Dungeon Sand Ant that was about to rush in front of him.

He coldly said:

"Human! We were indeed unlucky to encounter an Ant Nest! What's the point of you watching the show here?!"

Lu Yuan smiled: "Who said I'm just watching the show? I'm still waiting for you to die so I can go down and pick up the things you drop."

Hearing this, the three Cat People gnashed their teeth.

Molly coldly glanced at Lu Yuan:

"I hope you don't die in the mouths of the Dungeon Sand Ants!"

"Thank you for your concern, beautiful lady, but you're a good person, we're not possible."

"Bastard!"

Nan Qi and Molly were extremely angry.

"Human! How about we make a deal!"

At this moment, Xi Ye, who had been silent all along, spoke.

Lu Yuan was taken aback, looking at Xi Ye with some confusion:

"What do we have to trade?"

"You let us out and don't attack us. We are willing to give you Spirit Crystals!"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Give me Spirit Crystals?"

"That's right! To be frank, we haven't been in here for long this time, and we haven't gained anything yet. Even if we die, you'll only get less than 100 Spirit Crystals and a dozen materials."

Lu Yuan's expression froze instantly.

A dozen materials?!

Isn't that just trying to send away a beggar?!

The potion he used cost 10,000!

Wouldn't that be a loss?

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't speak, Xi Ye's eyes lit up.

There's a chance! This human seems to be short of Spirit Crystals?

He pressed on while the iron was hot:

"If you let us out and don't attack us, we can each give you 1,000 Spirit Crystals!"

"1,000 Spirit Crystals per person?"

Lu Yuan looked at Xi Ye and repeated.

1,000 per person, three people would be 3,000.

He would have to kill thousands of ferocious beasts in the Sandstone Dungeon.

That would take him a long time.

Damn it! So tempting!

"Yes! 1,000 per person! How about it?"

Xi Ye killed a Dungeon Sand Ant with a sword and spoke.

Lu Yuan fell silent.

Xi Ye didn't speak, and Molly and Nan Qi didn't speak either. They silently killed the Dungeon Sand Ants that kept appearing.

It must be said that the Dungeon Sand Ants were increasing, and their pressure was also increasing.

Moreover... the effect of ordinary potions lasts for a maximum of twenty minutes.

Now the effect of the potion is coming to an end.

For a time, the three of Xi Ye were anxious.

Just then, Lu Yuan said with a smile:

"Your proposal is very tempting... but I refuse!"

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xi Ye and the others' expressions changed.

"Why?!"

"Who knows if you guys are lying to me? Maybe you guys gained a lot this time? And what if I let you out and you continue to run away? Should I continue chasing you? Most importantly..."

Lu Yuan revealed a smile, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said with gritted teeth:

"You three bastards wanted to kill me twice in a row! If I don't kill you once, I won't feel good!"

Although I, Lu, am short of money, I especially want to kill you three bastards!

Every time I come in, you guys mess with me, Lu.

Is it easy for me?!

I'll kill you once and see if you dare next time!

Although that's what he said, Lu Yuan's heart still ached faintly.

3000 Spirit Crystals!

If he got them, that would be a lot of money!
