Chapter 2172: Chapter 2172: All Exactly the Same

Although they were just soul-eating ants, had they not also awakened their spiritual intellect, huh?

Danger and such, they could still feel it.

So many companions, right now they could still hear their peers struggling, asking for help in ant language!

But what could they do?

This woman in front of them was really not easy to mess with; who knew what those weird things in her hand were, just swiftly swept so many away.

If they rushed forward again, wouldn’t they be completely wiped out?

Even as mere ants, they still had the desire to live on, and since they could survive, why would they seek death?

As they say, better to live meekly, than to die ostentatiously.

These were their thoughts at the moment.

So, no matter how their peers were asking them for help, they all retreated backward, crawling until they were no longer seen by Lin Caisang.

Seeing that the soul-eating ants had run away, Lin Caisang naturally wouldn’t chase after them to capture anymore.

She had enough soul-eating ants in her hands to refine plenty of elixir pills.

So she stored everything into the Jinzhu space, and then continued forward, curious to see what oddities lay ahead waiting for her.

...

’Swish, swish swish!’

Several spiritual energy beads condensed and shot straight towards her face.

She took out a shield crafted by Sui Zimo from the Jinzhu space to protect herself.

The ’thud thud thud’ sound kept ringing out.

To her surprise, the shield was dented with one pit after another.

"How strong these spiritual energy beads are."

She gritted her teeth, the hand holding the shield, due to the force of the beads continuously striking, was on the verge of losing grip.

That barrage of spiritual energy beads kept shooting at her without any change in force or density.

She knew that it wouldn’t work to continue this way; not to mention if her hand could withstand the pressure?

Even the shield in her hand wouldn’t hold up to the attack of a few waves of spiritual energy beads.

"We must find the mechanism."

She had to break the mechanism, but where exactly was it?

Taking a deep breath, she slowly retreated.

When she reached a certain point, the spiritual energy beads stopped shooting in her direction, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Her body was smeared with Yin Baiqing’s blood, but it was of no use.

It goes to show that the mechanism in this place does not see lineage recognition; as soon as someone is detected, it would automatically activate.

And those spiritual energy beads, which seemed to be in an endless loop, where would there be so many energy beads to construct the mechanism of the Northern Underground Palace?

Therefore, she could only think of one possibility.

That is, the spiritual energy beads could be reclaimed by the mechanism, just like a magnet drawing in iron.

Shoot out and then reclaim, shoot out and reclaim again, in an infinite loop of utilization.

But each year when the emperors came, they always had to enter, it wouldn’t be possible for them to be stopped by this mechanism.

There are only two possibilities then.

Either she took the wrong path on her way here, it’s not this one.

Or there is an additional mechanism here that can temporarily stop those spiritual energy beads, preventing them from injuring people.

Perhaps, she could look for this mechanism’s control switch to turn it off.
