In this unknown underground Cave, there were humanoid frogmen calling him a deity, and even a deity from ancient history...
Zhou Qi’s thought moved, and his Mental Power, like a tangible entity, enveloped a frogman and brought him before him.
The terrifying Mental Power directly connected to the frogman’s mind.
Hollow darkness, damp underground caverns, countless frogmen living in an immeasurably vast space…
Zhou Qi looked at the underground lake within the Cave. According to the frogman’s memory fragments, this underground lake was extremely vast and bottomless.
At its lowest end, it connected to a boundless underground world, and these frogmen had come across the lake from that underground world.
Zhou Qi drove all these frogmen away, then went to the Eight-Order Army Ant Queen. After a period of communication through mental connection, he walked out of the underground Cave.
At this moment, the sky was gradually turning white, ushering in a new day.
Zhou Qi used Mental Power to envelop his entire body, and with a thought, he transformed into a white light, speeding towards the farm.

Current Evolution Points: 9,867,000.
Zhou Qi woke up after only two hours of sleep.
The mental exhaustion from last night had been replenished after this sleep. Zhou Qi only felt full of energy, with an inexhaustible supply of vigor.
After washing up in the morning, Zhou Qi came to the breeding shed.
Warm, humid air, carrying the unique scent of soil and Earthworm, wafted over. Inside the shed, rows of plastic boxes were neatly arranged.
Zhou Qi’s gaze was drawn to a group of busy figures—groups of One-Order Army Ant were working in an orderly fashion.
Though these little fellows were not large, their movements were extremely swift, like a black stream, shuttling back and forth between the plastic boxes and the rear of the shed.
Zhou Qi approached and saw that the plastic boxes were full of Earthworm that had been boiled in hot water; they were soft and piled together, having lost all signs of life.
The One-Order Army Ant began to divide their labor and cooperate based on the instructions Zhou Qi had given earlier.
Several strong One-Order Army Ant used their powerful mandibles to firmly bite one end of an Earthworm and drag it with great effort, while more companions surrounded them from behind, pushing the prey, which was several times larger than themselves, with concerted effort.
With the “rustling” sound of their footsteps, the Army Ant painstakingly transported the Earthworm to the rear of the shed.
There, an open drying area had been cleared.
The One-Order Army Ant neatly arranged the Earthworm one by one. After placing each Earthworm, they would pause briefly and gently touch it with their antennae, as if confirming the completion of the task.
Zhou Qi watched this scene with interest, secretly praising the tenacity and diligence of these One-Order Army Ant.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz.” Zhou Qi’s phone in his pocket vibrated. He opened it to see that it was Li Xiumei calling.
“Zhou Qi, come over quickly.” Li Xiumei’s urgent voice came through.
Before Zhou Qi could ask, she hung up the phone.
Zhou Qi heard it and wondered if something had happened at home. He hurriedly ran towards the farm.
He arrived outside in a short while.
He saw Li Xiumei and several women from Zhou Village gathered together. Before Zhou Qi even got close, he could hear their incessant chatter.
When the women saw Zhou Qi, they quickly turned their attention to him.
Li Xiumei’s eyes lit up, and she quickly waved, “Zhou Qi, come here quickly!”
Aunt Li next to her was the first to speak with a smile, “Zhou Qi, auntie found a good girl for you. She’s pretty, gentle, and works as a teacher at the town elementary school.”
Aunt Wang immediately followed, “I also have someone suitable here. That girl works as a nurse at the county hospital. Her job is stable, and she’s meticulous and considerate. She’ll definitely take good care of you.”
“Zhou Qi, the flight attendant Aunt Zhang introduced is not bad either, right!”
Zhou Qi felt a headache coming on. He had thought his mother’s urgent tone earlier meant she was in some danger and was ready to show off his skills.
Instead, he was met with a barrage of questions from several aunts, especially what Aunt Zhang had introduced last time.
Zhou Qi’s mother’s face was beaming with smiles. She listened and nodded, “My Zhou Qi’s conditions are not bad either. We have a farm at home, and he’s diligent and capable.”
Then she turned to look at Zhou Qi, her eyes full of expectation, “You’re not young anymore. Your dad and I have the farm. You take good care of your shed, and it’s time you considered your personal matters.”
Zhou Qi was embarrassed and scratched his head, “I haven’t thought about it yet, so don’t worry.” He then quickly said a few more words and hurried away from the scene.
“I, the master of Evolution Space, the Emperor of Insects, am actually being told to go on a blind date,” Zhou Qi mused.
A few days passed, one after another.
November 1, 2016
Current Evolution Points: 10,085,000 points.
Evolution Points once again Broke Through ten million points. Zhou Qi lazily lay on his chair, staring intently at his phone.
He was looking at a news headline: “Mysterious Dragon-like Creature Appears in Qinling Mountains, Experts Intervene to Investigate.”
“Recently, a scientific research team conducting an ecological survey in the Great Qin Province section of the Yellow Mountain range unexpectedly discovered a mysterious creature that closely resembles a ‘True Dragon.’
This scientific research team was jointly formed by units such as the School of Life Sciences at Great Qin Normal University and the Great Qin Provincial Animal Research Institute.
While Transversing a remote canyon, the team members first noticed some unusually large footprints, oddly shaped and unlike any known creature.
Following the direction of the footprints, they discovered this mysterious monster near a hidden mountain cave.
The creature was enormous, over 10 meters long, covered in black, metallic-lustered scales, with a broad head and sharp horns, cold vertical pupils, and a long tail covered in sharp spikes.
Upon discovery, the monster quickly disappeared into the mountain forest. The research team found gnawed trees, huge claw marks, and a suspected nest full of animal bones in the surrounding area.
Experts speculate that this may be an unrecognized new species or an ancient relict. Currently, the team has collected samples and will conduct in-depth research through genetic sequencing and other methods, and has set up monitoring points for continuous observation.”
Zhou Qi frowned. If he only looked at the headline, it might just be some clickbait.
However, the news was published by the Great Dragon Country National Channel and was even broadcast during the seven o’clock evening news.
“Are underground creatures already starting to emerge onto the surface?” Zhou Qi pondered.
In the past few days, various signs indicated that perhaps the national level had also discovered the existence of an underground world, or at least underground monsters.
The day before yesterday, the Blue Star United Organization had issued an emergency order, summoning naval and air forces to Antarctica, and several countries had already responded.
Online, there were reports from fishing boat personnel near Antarctica who occasionally observed fighter jets launching missiles at certain locations in Antarctica.
The entire world situation seemed to be changing…
