章 444: Slow & Arduous.

Shi Lang entered the mine shaft after extracting all the beast crystals he found from the corpses of the beasts. The young man had no idea what the mine held for him. The young man entered the mine with great deliberation and caution. He was steady and calm with every step. 

He did not enter the left branch of the shaft but cast a barrier around it to seal off the area. Then, he held his phaser handgun as a drone scouted his way forward. The young man checked the map on his visor and spent a few minutes covering the distance. After, he came to what seemed to be the ant queen's chamber. He was shocked. 

Shi Lang found that the entering chamber was laced with spirit webbing, a thread-like substance covering every inch of the queen chamber. It seemed to have been formed from the saliva of the ant queen. If given to some beast, it might make them break through, but Shi Lang could not get himself to consume this thing as it was.
