Zhang Chen closed his eyes in despair, not daring to look anymore, cold sweat breaking out on his head.

But soon, Zhang Chen felt his head seemed to be moving, and his scalp immediately felt numb.

"Eat, eat, let me die happily."

Zhang Chen closed his eyes tightly and his face twitched constantly.

But the imagined feeling did not come. Zhang Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw that the surrounding scenery was constantly changing. He looked to the side and found that he was being pushed forward by countless ants and insects, walking towards the "castle".

Soon he passed through a hole in the castle and entered. After several twists and turns, Zhang Chen could feel that he was going down continuously. During this time, he passed through many spaces. Zhang Chen saw many insect eggs and newly hatched ants. Next to the ants were densely packed animal skeletons. There were also many animals hanging in the spaces, which looked like stored food.

Finally, Zhang Chen was brought to a relatively open underground space, which was at least a hundred square meters in size. A giant ant was lying in the front. It was nearly ten times larger than an ordinary ant and looked like a giant beast.

After leaving Zhang Chen aside, the swarm of insects left. Soon, dozens of ants that were twice as big as normal ants crawled towards Zhang Chen, sniffed at him, and took a bite of his exposed thigh, as if they were tasting it.

Zhang Chen watched all this, and although he had accepted his fate a long time ago, he still couldn't help feeling scared. Then an ant crawled to the giant ant's mouth and touched it with its long antennae. The giant ant looked at Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen seemed to see a hint of expectation on its cold face, and a trace of mucus flowed out of its mouth.

Then the giant ant glanced slightly, and the ants next to it immediately understood, and ran towards Zhang Chen, leading dozens of ants, lifted Zhang Chen up, and sent him towards the giant ant.

Zhang Chen looked at the giant ant's open mouth and felt a little relieved.

"It seems that it is almost over. At least I can die quickly."

Soon, Zhang Chen was sent to the mouth of the giant ant. The huge mouth bit towards Zhang Chen's head. Looking at the mouth full of sharp teeth, Zhang Chen closed his eyes and waited for death to come again.

At this moment, the ground where Zhang Chen was lying suddenly began to fluctuate, and then sank, revealing a huge white snake head. It looked at the giant ant in front of it with a bit of surprise, and then saw Zhang Chen next to it. Before the other ants could react, it bit Zhang Chen and quickly retreated back to the cave entrance.

The giant ant looked at the big hole in front of it, confused at first, then angry. Its eyes were wide open, but no sound came out of its mouth. However, with it as the center, the ant colony in the entire forest opened its eyes and began to swim around frantically. The swarms of insects outside the castle began to enter the castle and chased in along the big hole.

Zhang Chen had already closed his eyes, waiting to die, but suddenly his body was shaking rapidly. Zhang Chen opened his eyes, only to see darkness all around him, with only some soil. He felt as if he was winding through a passage the size of a water tank. One section of the passage was full of water, and another section was full of broken tree roots. Looking at the marks on the passage, it looked like a passage that a giant snake had drilled out of with its body.

Soon after about half an hour, Zhang Chen felt a bright light and emerged from underground. He came to a stream. Then the big snake put Zhang Chen aside. Zhang Chen was surprised to see that there were still some scars on the snake's body that had not completely disappeared. He recognized that it was the big white snake he had rescued before.

"It's you. There's always a way out."

The feeling of escaping from a desperate situation made Zhang Chen very excited. Seeing that Zhang Chen was motionless, the big snake nudged Zhang Chen with its head.

"I was bitten by those ants. It will be fine after a while."

Zhang Chen said something to the big snake. The big snake lowered its head, understood what Zhang Chen meant, and then coiled up beside Zhang Chen.

After an hour, Zhang Chen began to feel severe pain in various parts of his body and his hands could barely move. He slowly took out a healing pill from his storage bag and swallowed it. The pain in his body was relieved a lot, and the wound also felt cool, numb and a little itchy.

Another hour later, the numbness in Zhang Chen's body completely disappeared, and his injuries were almost healed under the effect of the elixir.

Zhang Chen stood up, looked at the big snake in front of him, bowed, and expressed his sincere gratitude.

The big snake seemed unable to understand Zhang Chen's actions and just stared at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen took out the remaining worm mother meat from the storage bag and threw it to the big snake. When the big snake smelled the worm mother meat, its eyes lit up and it swallowed the meat in one gulp. After a while, the surface of the big snake's body began to swell and become engorged with blood, and it looked noticeably bigger. It was obvious that the worm mother meat was of great benefit to it.

"I thought you had left last time, but I didn't expect you were still here. You even dug a hole into the ant colony's nest. Are you planning to take revenge for what happened last time?"

Zhang Chen didn't think the snake would answer his question. He just touched the scales on the snake's body and sighed.

The big snake seemed to really understand Zhang Chen's words, and its head looked towards the direction of the Insect Valley.

Zhang Chen patted the big snake and knew that the big snake was spiritual.

"There are too many of them. Even though you are big, you are no match for them. Forget about revenge."

Zhang Chen thought the big snake still wanted to seek revenge, so he tried to persuade it. The big snake shook its head, but its eyes were still fixed on that side.

"Aren't you here for revenge?"

Zhang Chen looked at the big snake's expression and asked tentatively.

The big snake actually nodded. Zhang Chen was surprised. It seemed that this was a spiritual beast with high intelligence. Zhang Chen had some understanding of spiritual beasts since he was at Chiyun Peak.

"Is there anything in the valley that attracts you?"

Zhang Chen asked again, and the big snake nodded again.

Zhang Chen understood why the big snake had not left. It seemed that it was being chased last time because of this, but this time it accidentally saved him.

"In that case, I will stay and help you."

Zhang Chen looked at the big snake next to him and said.

Then Zhang Chen came to the side and observed. The forest in the valley was very large, and there were ants and insects everywhere. It was extremely difficult to go in and find something.

"Xiaobai, do you know the exact location of that thing?"

Zhang Chen looked at the big snake beside him and asked. Seeing that it was snow-white, Zhang Chen simply gave it a name, regardless of whether it was willing or not.

Xiaobai didn't know how to express it. He opened his mouth and bit Zhang Chen lightly, made a dragging gesture, and pointed his head towards the center of the forest.

"You mean, in the place where you rescued me?"

Zhang Chen tried to understand, and Xiaobai nodded.

Zhang Chen's face became solemn. That was the ant colony's nest. Not only were there a large number of ants, but there was also a giant ant. Zhang Chen did not see it take action, but Zhang Chen guessed that it must be no simple ant.
