Therefore, Zhang Yanhang is now preparing to return to the westmost side of the inner area, which is the area where the Achievement Vending Machine is located to check the situation there. So, Zhang Yanhang, who had just recovered his energy value, immediately started to return the same route, but this time he didn't have to run while pinching the stopwatch.

Zhang Yanhang, who returned to the west side of the inner area, silently scanned the passage in front of him with a gambler to avoid danger. He had to admit that the hematite ants were indeed quite talented in digging holes.

Although it took only a short period of time, a passage of hundreds of meters long had been dug, and it was a standard three-meter diameter.

Even though he was already at the end of the passage, because he was facing solid ore such as hematite, Zhang Yanhang's scanning range for avoiding misfortune was really decayed, and he could only scan a distance of several hundred meters. Within this small range of several hundred meters, it was obviously impossible to find any traces of the new hematite ant nest.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang is facing a very difficult problem now. Should he continue to dig forward and dig out a straight line, or should he dig up vertically, down or upward?

As a patient with mild dysfunction, Zhang Yanhang felt that he had a long-lost premonition that he would immediately start. In order to prevent his dysfunction from recurring, Zhang Yanhang was preparing to use independent choice to solve this problem.

"I just happened to have restored my energy value to full amount. If I just asked multiple choices to help me predict what I would encounter in various directions, it would not be a difficult thing to accomplish.

Choose! In which direction should I dig the passage to meet the new hematite ant nest!”

Zhang Yanhang began to trigger relevant options without hesitation. As expected, unlike the previous divination tarot cards, his problem had just blurted out and the time paused time had already arrived inside the Hematite Ant Nest. At the same time, a large row of text option boxes automatically appeared in front of Zhang Yanhang.

【Dig a channel to other directions?】

[Option 1: Forward (because the Hematite Ant Queen has pointed you in the direction, you decided to continue digging the passage forward after thinking for a little bit. Finally, after digging 159 kilometers straight, you finally successfully dug a new passage about the monster nest.

After digging through the last meter of hole wall, you suddenly found that opposite you were the large hematite ant nest with tens of thousands of hematite ants that you had been thinking about day and night. You killed a lot inside it, and soon gathered the ant power needed to improve the S-level talent "Bearing Power".)]

[Option 2: Downward (Although the queen of Hematite has actually pointed out the direction of the large hematite ant nest, you think that just digging so straight may not necessarily lead to the large hematite ant nest. So you turn left ninety degrees based on your intuition and dig forward straight 1,982 meters straight, and then start digging straight downward again.

After digging downwards for 77 kilometers, you accidentally discovered a brand new monster nest. Although this is not a nest related to hematite ants, the monsters inside also have the talent of ant power. After making a simple choice, you chose to give up and continue looking for other hematite ants nests.)]

[Option 3: Upward (because you feel like you are digging the passage forward in the direction given by the Hematite Ant Queen so straight and digging forward and finding other Hematite Ant nests is completely a big fortune, which is really not reliable. So, you turn right and dig forward 3,278 meters straight but get nothing but choose to dig upward.

After digging upwards for 226 kilometers, you unexpectedly find that you have digged through the entire hematite vein and reached the outer layer of the hematite vein. Here, you have found a brand new population of monsters. Not only does they have no relationship with the hematite vein, but they are even completely opposite in attribute abilities.)]

"Damn it! One hundred and fifty-nine kilometers?! Are you serious? The longest underground tunnel in the world is only more than fifty kilometers. Are you asking me to break the world record?

If I really dug through it, it would be equivalent to digging through the lengths of the three longest underground tunnels in the world. Even when I jumped to the world's first place, I immediately took the total lengths of two to four people behind..."

After reading the first option, Zhang Yanhang was filled with a strong sense of powerlessness everywhere. It was obvious that it would take a long time to dig through it. If he really did this, he would probably not have performed a spiritual revival version of Yugong Moving Mountain.

"In addition to the first option, the third option is also quite outrageous. I actually need to dig upwards 226 kilometers to penetrate the entire hematite vein. The height of this hematite vein is a bit too exaggerated, right? The height of Mount Everest is only 8848 meters, and rounding it is only nine kilometers.

I dug upwards 226 kilometers in length to be equivalent to digging through twenty-five Mount Everests. In order to find a monster nest, it is a monster nest that has nothing to do with the hematite ants to dig such a long passage no matter how you think about it, it will be a loss of blood."

Compared to digging forward, Zhang Yanhang felt that this upward digging was undoubtedly even more outrageous. If this thing was dug out, it would probably not become a super trap immediately. Most of the 226-kilometer-long tunnel, most monsters that cannot fly would definitely fall into pieces on the spot after falling in.

Of course, due to length, monsters may be able to sleep first during the fall period and then face death in their dreams.

"The only thing that seems more reliable among the three options is the second option, but the degree of reliability is only a little bit. Although it is not necessary to dig the length of the triple digits like the other two options, it also requires digging the depth of 77 kilometers.

If I remember correctly, the average depth of the Earth's crust layer is only seventeen kilometers, and even most plateau areas only have a crust layer that is dozens of kilometers thick. This means that if I want to dig a 77-kilometer tunnel on the Earth, at most half of it will dig directly to the mantle layer.

But this place is the world of ashes, and it is definitely completely different from the structure of the earth. Therefore, I can not only dig 226 kilometers upwards, but also dig 77 kilometers downwards. For the first time, I can feel the difference between the world of ashes and the earth so clearly."

Although it is an order of magnitude smaller and reduced from a triple digit to a double digit, Zhang Yanhang still feels quite powerless about the huge number of 77 kilometers.
