Universal System: Return of the Prodigal

Chapter 297 Burning Maze
Chapter 418 Burning Maze
Before Xiaowan could speak, he continued, "If I raise them, won't they be able to produce endless clean energy for me in the future?"

Xiao Wan: "Theoretically yes."

Zhang Kang: "How?"

Xiao Wan: "This black pepper ant has a ferocious temperament and is extremely aggressive. Without strong strength, it is impossible to completely control it."

"And the reproductive capacity is extremely terrifying. When the aura is abundant, it can expand to as many as one billion in a year."

"And as the speed of mutation accelerates, its size and combat power will also increase exponentially."

"Many planets were eventually dominated by black pepper ants."

Hearing his words, Zhang Kang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​using black pepper ants.

Although they are invaluable treasures, it is not yet possible for humans to control them.

At present, we can only eliminate them completely.

Zhang Kang said embarrassingly: "Okay, then we have to eliminate them first."

Xiao Wan: "Yeah, master is smart."

Zhang Kang shook his head helplessly, and then his consciousness returned to his body.

"Brother Kang, have you thought of a way, can we just give up like this?"

Seeing that Zhang Kang didn't respond for a long time, Ouyang Qianqian couldn't help but look at Zhang Kang.

Zhang Kang's eyes suddenly lit up: "You can only attack with fire."

"Fire attack?"

Listening to his words, just like Zhang Kang before, everyone was amazed.

Zhang Kang nodded heavily: "Yes, only fire attack can completely eliminate it."

Yan Wujiu: "If the fire is attacked, will it not burn completely? After all, this place is deep underground, and there is not enough oxygen, so the fire will automatically go out."

Everyone thought it was true and nodded.

Ouyang Qianqian: "Not only that, once it catches fire, can we still move forward?"

Cheng Yong: "That's right, such a deep cave may not be able to fully burn within a few days."

Zhang Kang: "Everyone is right, but this substance does not need oxygen to burn."

"If it is not controlled, it will completely burn out in a very short time."

"Everyone, please stop talking and let's see the effect."

Said Zhang Kang waved his hand.

Everyone consciously retreated to the basement.

Zhang Kang threw the pill fireball in his hand to the ground.

"boom!"

The fireball landed.

There was a bang.

The flames rose instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the entire hole was ignited.

But the fire did not spread as everyone imagined.

Burns are also limited to areas covered with black secretions.

"Crackling!"

The fires were fierce and efficient.

It actually burned the soil and rocks until they exploded.

Zhang Kang was burned by the fire and had to retreat back.

Ever since, everyone waited outside the entrance of the cave, staring at the fire burning with burning eyes.

Such a wait is an hour.

When the fire in the cave suddenly disappeared.

Everyone didn't smell the burnt smell.

Not even a trace of smoke was seen.

And there is no feeling of suffocation.

This shows that Xiao Wan is right.

The secretion did burn without consuming oxygen.

No pollution to the environment.

Such energy is simply fantastic.

Zhang Kang couldn't wait to walk into the hot hole.

When seeing the soil and rocks burnt to white ash, only the scorching color remained in the pair of star pupils.

If it can be harnessed, this is definitely the greatest discovery of the 21st century.

It will also completely change the human perception of energy.

At that time, we will no longer get energy from the earth itself.

It is only necessary to control the black pepper ant and allow it to secrete black substances indefinitely to achieve energy supply.

Traveling to space is no longer a luxury.

Because this energy source does not need oxygen to burn itself.

In the vacuum of space, that would be a more valuable source of energy than nuclear power.

Yan Wujiu stared at a pair of big copper bell eyes.

Unbelievably said: "My dear, it really burns very thoroughly, leaving no trace of residue."

Cheng Yong: "It's not a big deal, there is no smell at all, it's just amazing."

Chu Yunxiao: "Even the deep-seated ones have been burned away, amazing."

Huo Feiying: "The temperature is too high. In just one hour, tens of centimeters of soil will be burned to white ash. It's terrifying."

Ouyang Qianqian: "Brother Kang, with such a violent burning, have all the black pepper ants been burned to ashes?"

Zhang Kang shook his head: "That's not clear, let's go in and check after it cools down a bit."

Ever since, everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and waited for an hour before they dared to enter the cave.

As soon as we walked in, everyone felt their feet sinking into the ground.

Because the ground is covered with white ash.

A scorching air wave rushed over.

Let everyone feel hot and unbearable in an instant.

Fortunately, this temperature is still within everyone's tolerance range.

People with Ouyang Qianqian's physique must wear defensive magic weapons before they dare to move forward.

Because she is the body of Nine Yin Cold.

The body is full of ice energy, which conflicts with fire energy.

It's impossible not to feel bad.

With the blessing of the protective magic weapon, Ouyang Qianqian could barely resist the high temperature.

Although Cheng Yong and the others were sweating profusely, they were extremely comfortable.

This roast is like being in a sauna.

There is a feeling of being steamed and transparent all over.

Impurities in the body are also excreted by sweat at this time.

Zhang Kang was in front, followed by Yan Wujiu and others.

After walking a long distance in it, everyone saw a fork.

Since the environment in the cave has been completely changed, Zhang Kang doesn't know which cave to go to.

If you go wrong, you will be stuck in a maze.

Although there is no fear of life, it is bound to waste a lot of time.

Fortunately, Zhang Kang still has a universal system.

After consuming one hundred energy points, he finally obtained a road map temporarily drawn by the system.

It can be clearly seen from the map that this is an underground labyrinth like a spider's web.

Zhang Kang and others are just at the entrance of their labyrinth.

Zhang Kang was horrified by such a huge underground labyrinth.

It is conceivable without this fire.

What kind of battle are they going to face.

I'm afraid that if the black pepper ants are not wiped out, they will be deeply trapped in the ant nest.

Immortals will surely fall into endless bitter battles.

There are at least tens of millions of black pepper ants in such a large ant nest.

According to the route drawn on the map, Zhang Kang and others strode into the maze.

After the maze was burned by fire.

The temperature is twice as high as outside.

At this time, there are at least five or six degrees of high temperature.

Zhang Kang and others also had to use their defensive magic weapon.

Under its protection, everyone feels better.

After walking a few steps, another fork appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Without hesitation, Zhang Kang chose a hole and walked in.

The rest followed suit.

Everyone trusts Zhang Kang fans.

Even if he doubted God, he would never doubt that Zhang Kang would make a mistake.

Ever since, everyone followed Zhang Kang in the maze and finally reached the center of the ant nest.

This is the nest of the queen ants.

Zhang Kang and others suddenly felt that the space suddenly opened up.

Look at it with the help of the fireball light released by Zhang Kang.

I was immediately shocked by this huge cave.

It is at least ten meters high and at least 30 meters long in diameter.

There is also an open fire burning on the top and the center of the cave.

"Master, the system found a black wafer, go and put it away."

Just when Zhang Kang was shocked by this.

Xiao Wan's voice rang in his mind in real time.

"Black wafer?"

"What the hell is this?"

Zhang Kang subconsciously returned to the system.

Xiaowan smiled sweetly and said, "The black wafer is the treasure left behind by the queen ant after death, and its energy is the sum of the secretions distributed in the cave."

"That is to say, this one black wafer is equivalent to the sum of the energy generated when the secretions of the entire nest are burned."

"Moreover, the black wafer compresses and wraps energy, which is harmless and can continuously release energy."
