Chapter 1284: Ants Devouring Humans

Tiantian was startled, then took the pen from Chu Tianqiu’s hand.

She carefully wiped the bloodstains from the pen, then used the pen tip to touch that strange door.

Although it wasn’t as clear as directly touching it with her hand, Tiantian still generally sensed the hardness and material of this door.

It was similar to other wood doors—also made of wood—but the quality of the wood was better, and it had been carefully carved with patterns.

The complexity of the craftsmanship far exceeded the other simple wooden doors on “Cangjie Chess” and the “train.”

Back at the “Cangjie Chess” venue, in order to make that “door” convincing enough, Tiantian had even replicated all the wood grain and cracks on the “door.”

Looking at it this way, the same principle applied to this exquisitely crafted door. To make what she created truly able to lead to Heavenly-Dragon’s room, she needed to completely replicate the patterns on it and even the dust.

“Give me some time…” Tiantian said seriously. “This is somewhat difficult for me.”

Chu Tianqiu nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly began to hear a large number of footsteps.

Those footsteps sounded like rolling thunder, causing the entire “train” to shake.

It seemed someone was coming… in unimaginably large numbers.

He quickly walked to the doorway to look outside. Although he couldn’t see anyone, he could still hear those deafening footsteps.

While he was puzzled, Yan Zhichun’s face suddenly flashed through the door crack.

When Yan Zhichun saw Chu Tianqiu here, her expression changed and she hurriedly reached out to brace the door. “Oh no… why are you here?”

“It’s a long story… outside this is…”

“What…?”

“The ‘ants’ have moved,” Yan Zhichun said. “The ‘train’ is about to undergo a major change.”

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu’s eyes widened. The next second, he saw a large number of “ants” rush out from behind Yan Zhichun. They surged like a tide, and several of them turned their heads to look in Chu Tianqiu’s direction.

He hurriedly reached out to close the door, and those several “ants” crashed into the door panel as a result.

Zhang Chenze and Yun Yao heard the commotion and turned to look back, hearing what seemed to be something frantically beating against the door panel. The chaotic sounds made it difficult to focus for the moment.

Amid the violent knocking sounds, Chu Tianqiu thought about the current situation with some lingering fear, then raised his head and said to Yun Yao, “Yun Yao, your ‘Strong Luck’ even saved me…”

“What’s going on…?” Zhang Chenze asked.

“The situation is starting to change…” Chu Tianqiu murmured. “Someone has released a ‘double-edged sword.’ Now we need to seize the last remaining time.”

After hearing this, Tiantian nodded and continued using the pen to explore the outline of the wooden door.

In the corridor, a large number of “ants” began to scatter in all directions, making countless “Human Level” and “Earth Level” members feel the situation had become even more chaotic. Fortunately, these “Zodiacs” didn’t have what the “ants” were searching for on them, so their lives were temporarily safe.

Almost half of the ants immediately headed toward the branch where the “Heaven Level” rooms existed. Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue also walked swaggeringly inside, as if leading a group of bizarre soldiers to conquer territory.

What puzzled the two was that the two doors closest to Qinglong’s room had no “ants” stopping at them. They swept past this area and all rushed toward deeper locations.

Yan Zhichun looked at the doors on her left and right with furrowed brows, and an uneasy feeling emerged in her heart.

That sadness that had just been suppressed seemed to surface in her heart again.

She looked to her left side, and as if possessed, she reached out to slowly push open the door. Beyond the door was an endless darkness rippling with the vast universe.

There seemed to be nothing here, yet it contained all things in the world.

She stood before the door, facing the entire universe, yet felt completely empty inside.

Jiang Ruoxue paused behind her and asked, “What’s wrong, Zhichun?”

“I don’t know either…” Yan Zhichun stared at the brilliant starry sky in a daze. “Shouldn’t this be a ‘Heaven Level’ room… why would the outside be…”

“Maybe not all doors lead to Heaven Level rooms…” Jiang Ruoxue also said somewhat uncertainly. “The door across from this one also has no ‘ants’ stopping at it. Maybe both of these doors lead to empty spaces…?”

After hearing this, Yan Zhichun also felt something was indeed strange. These two doors were so close to Qinglong’s room—why did all the “ants” choose to bypass them directly?

If they weren’t “Heaven Level,” then who would be inside the doors?

To verify her guess, she walked to the opposite room door and pushed it, only to discover this door was locked.

After thinking for two seconds, Yan Zhichun reached out to knock on the door again. She pressed her ear close and heard that there were indeed sounds coming from inside, but the person inside didn’t seem prepared to open the door.

The many “ants” nearby gave Yan Zhichun some courage. After thinking for several seconds, she reached out to knock on the door again.

A moment later, that room opened a small crack, and a chubby man revealed his eyes through the gap.

Although this man looked slightly overweight, his face had no color, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Seeing this scene, Yan Zhichun cautiously stepped back, then looked at the “ants” beside her, only to discover that no one paid any attention to this fat man. They rushed past this door that had opened a crack, as if they hadn’t sensed anything.

“What is it?” the man asked.

“You… who are you?” Yan Zhichun asked.

The fat man seemed not to know how to answer this question. After staring at Yan Zhichun for a long time, he slowly said, “I’m nobody.”

Then he shook his head and closed the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoxue also pulled Yan Zhichun. “This man seems strange… are you alright?”

“I’m fine…” Yan Zhichun said with furrowed brows. “He is indeed strange. He should be a ‘Heaven Level.'”

“‘Heaven Level’…?” Jiang Ruoxue frowned and looked at the “ants” beside them. “Are you sure?”

“When a normal person opens the door to see such a bizarre scene… how could they be as calm as he was?” Yan Zhichun said. “This corridor is already crawling with insect-like monsters… and even ‘Participants’ who shouldn’t be here have appeared, yet he expressionlessly asked me ‘what is it.’ No matter how you think about it, he doesn’t seem like a normal person.”

After hearing this, Jiang Ruoxue nodded. “If he’s ‘Heaven Level,’ how did he escape the ‘ants’ detection…?”

“I’m afraid only he knows that,” Yan Zhichun shook her head and looked toward the depths of the corridor.

A large number of “ants” began knocking at various doors, frantically beating on the door panels. The chaotic sounds rose and fell in succession.

Soon, the first door was burst open, and a large number of “ants” instantly surged inside.

Yan Zhichun and Jiang Ruoxue hurriedly walked forward quickly to check the situation. They saw that the room was full of bloodstains, with an Earth-Rabbit of uncertain life or death sitting on the ground, and a middle-aged woman covered in wounds standing in front of them.

A group of “ants” lunged at the middle-aged woman, knocking her to the ground amid her terrified expression.
