Chapter 171 Ant Colony Dacheng and Baoguang Pavilion
Two hundred against one thousand, it seems that the Blood Puppet Flying Ant is at an absolute disadvantage, but its restraint in ability determines that there is no chance of the Blood Puppet Flying Ant losing in this battle.
The carapace of the iron fire ant is hard and difficult to be damaged by magic weapons, but the blood puppet flying ants feed on essence, and the super strong defense of the iron fire ant is of little significance in front of them.
The key to victory still lies in the immortality of the blood puppet flying ants. When the iron fire ants tore up part of the blood puppet flying ants and swallowed them in their belly, they could not use their native black flames to refine them. Instead, they were split by the blood puppet flying ants.
The ants attack the vital parts of the body and die quickly.
Therefore, not long after the two groups of insects came into contact, most of the blood puppet flying ants were quickly devoured, and they were about to be crushed and defeated by the iron fire ants, but the situation reversed in an instant.
A large number of iron fire ants suddenly fell from the sky, and countless red liquid balls emerged from their mouthparts. Then the swallowed blood puppet flying ants condensed into shape again and rushed into the battle group.
After only two attacks, the number of fire ants dropped by more than half, and it was clear that there was no way back.
In a short while, only the blood puppet flying ants were left in the battle group. Luo Hong gave an order, and they pounced viciously on the insect corpses on the ground. In the blink of an eye, they devoured the thousands of iron fire ants cleanly.
net.
Looking at the greatly replenished ant colony, Luo Hong thought for a moment and expanded their number ten times in one breath. Since each blood puppet flying ant was divided into ten, each one originally had a foundation building stage.
The strong ant colony suddenly became as strong as the late stage of Qi refining.
Normally, swallowing a group of thousands of iron fire ants and dividing into hundreds of blood puppet flying ants can ensure that the individual strength remains basically unchanged.
But Luo Hong knew this and still adopted an extremely radical method of differentiation.
Because he discovered in the ant colony battle just now that even if each blood puppet flying ant has the strength of the late foundation building stage, it cannot compete with the hard-bodied iron fire ants in simple biting and devouring.
In fact, the vast majority of iron fire ants are killed by the fragments of blood puppet flying ants they swallow in their stomachs!
Since this tactic of using one's body to feed the enemy and then turning back on the enemy's body is so effective in the insect swarm war, Luo Hong will of course carry it forward.
Yuan Yao just blinked and found that the number of Luo Hong's spirit insects had undergone earth-shaking changes. She was shocked and at the same time understood the reason why Luo Hong had to break through the lava road.
He came here just for these black flying ants!
"Miss Yuan, this black desert occupies the second half of the lava road. We only penetrated a few hundred feet and encountered thousands of flying ant colonies. It is difficult to guarantee that there are not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of large flying ants deep in the black desert.
group.
Although Luo's spiritual insects can deal with the black flying ants, the number is too small. If we really encounter a super large insect swarm, the spiritual insects may be fine, but we will be in danger."
Luo Hong knew that super large insect swarms existed, so he would not go too far into the Black Desert until the number of blood puppet flying ants was expanded to a certain level.
"Then let's hunt around the outskirts of the Black Desert first, and wait until Brother Luo's insect swarm grows up before heading to the depths of the Black Desert. Anyway, we have enough mana, so there is no need to rush through."
Yuan Yao believed that the blood puppet flying ants had the magical power to swallow and split. Knowing that Luo Hong's purpose in entering the lava road was to strengthen the ant colony, he naturally had no objections.
"It's good that Miss Yuan can understand. Huh? That female cultivator is really unlucky. She just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, but it saved me a lot of trouble."
As Luo Hong was talking, he suddenly noticed another "black cloud" rising a few miles away. It was estimated that there were as many as three thousand iron fire ants in it.
The target they were chasing was the beautiful female nun who had just escaped.
When the two rushed over, the woman had been shot through the protective magical weapon by a giant arrow transformed from the iron fire ant, and her body was covered with black ants.
She only let out two shrill screams before she was devoured.
Seeing the scene of the ants devouring the living people, Yuan Yao felt very fearful and couldn't help but take two steps towards Luo Hong.
Luo Hong was not here to save people, so the tragic death of the beautiful female cultivator did not cause any disturbance in his heart, and he drove two thousand blood puppet flying ants to attack the iron fire ant colony.
This time, the two swarms met within a few breaths, and the blood puppet flying ants were completely devoured. However, in contrast, the blood puppet flying ants killed almost all the iron fire ants in the first rebirth, and the efficiency was actually higher than
It was much higher last time.
After verifying the effectiveness of the tactics, Luo Hong was convinced that two thousand blood puppet flying ants could efficiently devour a colony of less than five to six thousand iron fire ants, so he did not expand the number of blood puppet flying ants for the time being.
He planned to hold back a wave of force, increase it tenfold, and then go directly into the depths of the black desert to hunt tens of thousands of ant colonies.
After collecting the storage bag of the beautiful nun, Luo Hong threw the brilliant blue tulle to Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao did not shirk away from this magical weapon that was obviously in the style of a female cultivator. After accepting it with joy, she simply practiced it and put it on her body.
...
Deep in the black desert, Han Li picked up a crystal ball-like object with a black light on the ground with a look of joy on his face.
This rare material called crystal, after being refined into a magic weapon, can make the magic weapon extremely strong and inherit 80% to 90% of the magical power of the iron fire ant.
He was able to obtain such a large piece of crystal because he happened to encounter a giant iron fire ant that was frozen in ice and was twenty to thirty feet tall.
This giant was definitely formed from a colony of hundreds of thousands of super-large iron fire ants. Only the old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage could kill it so easily.
"So, the route I took has been cleaned up by the Nascent Soul stage monks. I asked myself why I have never encountered a super large ant colony with a queen. It turns out that this is the case. What a fluke."
Han Li said with a thankful face. Although he had tens of thousands of gold-eating insects, it was easy to deal with the iron fire ants, but his gold-eating insects would still suffer losses when fighting with the iron fire ants. In less than a day after entering the Black Desert, he
Nearly ten thousand gold-eating insects have been lost.
This is without encountering a super large insect swarm. Otherwise, even if the gold-eating insect swarm can defeat the opponent, the damage caused will make Han Li heartbroken and vomit blood.
Not long after he had moved forward with such a happy mood, Han Li suddenly felt darkness in the sky. He looked up and opened his mouth in shock.
I saw that the crimson sky in the distance was completely covered by black clouds, and the buzzing sound of flapping wings could still be clearly heard even though it was far away.
Without saying a word, Han Li used Luo Yan Step and ran away.
The size of this ant colony must exceed 300,000!
Han Li didn't care who disturbed this extremely large ant colony, he just wanted the person who disturbed him to die far away and not to implicate him.
However, before Han Li could run very far, the sky was stained with blood again.
Opposite the iron fire ants, a cloud of blood-colored worms appeared that was almost the same, and the two parties quickly fought together.
"Blood Spirit Insect? Is it Senior Brother Luo?"
Han Li's steps slowed slightly, and he was hesitating whether to go over and help, when he saw black rain suddenly falling from the black clouds, and the blood color became more intense, and he knew that the bloody spirit insects were gaining the upper hand.
After his eyes flickered for a few times, Han Li did not lean over, but rushed towards the end of the lava road.
On Luo Hong's side, the two hurricanes turned into blood puppet flying ants and iron fire ants collided and merged, making the world eclipse!
After a while, the originally red and black hurricane turned completely blood red, and a gluttonous feast began.
Standing on a sand peak, Yuan Yao looked around and saw that the black desert was covered in a layer of creeping blood, and the sounds of "clicking, clicking" were heard in his ears.
Witnessing Luo Hong's ant colony grow from a mere 200 to more than 200,000 now, she was extremely shocked.
However, Luo Hong was not in the mood to appreciate the wonders he had created. It was difficult for him to control such a huge swarm of insects, even with his spiritual consciousness. He was currently coiled on the sand dune, his face pale and he closed his eyes while adjusting his breathing.
After a cup of tea, all the iron fire ant corpses on the ground were devoured. Luo Hong also recovered. With a thought, the huge blood puppet flying ant colony split into two groups.
One stream flew into the devil's mouth, reinforcing countless layers of seals, and the other stream was put into the treasure bag by him.
"Come on, let's go out."
After successfully achieving the goal of growing the blood puppet flying ants, Luo Hong no longer had any nostalgia for the black desert and led Yuan Yao towards the exit.
...
The exit of the Ice and Fire Road is a stone hall surrounded by four sides. Each of the four walls of the stone hall has a closed bluestone door. At the front is a teleportation array, and at the back are numerous stone tables and chairs.
At this time, the Nascent Soul monsters from both the good and the evil paths were sitting at the stone table, each with a gloomy look on their face. They obviously guessed that the appearance of the Black Desert and the Blood Ice Forest was related to the two elders of Xing Gong, and secretly guessed that Xing Gong's
Intention, such blatant suppression is not the style of Xinggong in the past.
Ji Yin and other demonic ancestors were even more pale-faced. They had pinned their hopes of obtaining the Xutian Cauldron on Han Li. If he was swallowed by the iron fire ants, all their previous plans would be in vain.
Fortunately, after a flash of light from the teleportation array, Han Li's figure appeared in the stone palace, which made the three old demons look away from their lustful eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Hong and Yuan Yao also teleported here. At this moment, Yuan Yao covered his body and face with a black robe as usual.
The two of them, one wearing an iron mask and the other wearing a black robe, were mysterious and attracted the attention of several old demons.
After all, not many monks were able to come here after the two elders of Xinggong had done something evil, and the few remaining ones were not lower than the cultivation level of the late stage of forming pills.
Luo Hong and Yuan Yao are in the middle stage of pill formation and the other is in the early stage of pill formation, which is indeed a bit eye-catching.
Fortunately, the two elders of Xing Gong quickly teleported over and diverted the attention of the cultivators.
Facing the gnashing teeth of the two cultivators of good and evil, the two elders of Xing Gong were not afraid at all. They just laughed and fooled them.
Put on an irritating attitude like you can't do anything to me and me even if you know it's the two of us.
Just like this, after everyone waited in a strange atmosphere for most of the day, the teleportation array in the stone palace suddenly disappeared.
Then, the bluestone gates on the four walls automatically rose, revealing the long blue passage behind them.
These four passages respectively correspond to the three attics and the wonderful illusion of the next level, but the specific places they lead to are not fixed.
In other words, if you walk into any passage, you may reach one of the three attics that contain skills, elixirs, and ancient treasures. If you are unlucky, you may go directly to the next level and lose the chance to obtain the treasure.
.
Moreover, the restrictions here are special. No matter which passage you choose, you will not encounter anyone after entering. There are several "Baoguang Pavilions" that seem to contain ancient treasures.
Coupled with the wonderful illusion test, the inner demon Yuanshen can only survive by himself.
So Yuan Yao clenched her fists nervously and walked to the left passage alone.
Luo Hong was not interested in elixirs or exercises. He was in urgent need of ancient treasures that could quickly increase his strength. When he saw Old Demon Han walking towards the passage on the right, he followed him and almost entered the passage with Old Demon Han.
In a blink of an eye, as soon as Luo Hong entered the passage, Han Laomo, who was a few steps ahead, disappeared.
He calmed down and walked forward, and soon he saw a blue staircase.
After getting closer, I looked up and saw that the stairs lead to a very high place. Standing below, I couldn't see the scene at the top at all.
Walking up the stairs, Luo Hong looked around and found that the place was also shrouded in gray fog, and the dark yellow sky looked very gloomy.
About an hour later, Luo Hong arrived at the top of the stairs. This was a platform thousands of feet in diameter, vast but empty.
There is a jade bridge carved with dragons and phoenixes on the edge of the platform, which leads directly to a gold and jade pavilion suspended in mid-air. There are three characters "Baoguang Pavilion" written on the pavilion.
Stepping onto the Jade Bridge, Luo Hong looked down and saw an abyss below. All he could see was the rolling black air, which made people feel inexplicably palpitating.
"Black energy? A super-high platform that was built for no reason? A place to get treasure?"
Luo Hong looked back at the platform, inexplicably feeling that there was a connection between the three, but thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of any clues.
After standing frozen for a moment, he shook his head and walked towards Baoguang Pavilion.
After passing through a layer of restrictions like a water curtain, Luo Hong came to the first floor of Baoguang Pavilion, where all offensive ancient treasures such as short swords and spears were displayed.
There is no shortage of offensive-type ancient treasures like Luo Hong, and these ancient treasures all look similar, so their power must be at the bottom among the ancient treasures.
So, Luo Hong went directly to the teleportation array on the first floor, filled in a few spiritual stones, and then teleported it to the second floor of Baoguang Pavilion.
The styles of ancient treasures here are much richer, including musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, paintings, mirrors and small drums, none of which are the same.
Of course, relatively speaking, the quantity is less than that on the first level, and the restrictions covered on the ancient treasures are much more severe than those on the first level.
Among these ancient treasures, Luo Hong's favorite was a black light mirror.
Mirror-like treasures can generally emit some kind of divine light. No matter how effective it is, the speed of the divine light alone can take a huge advantage against the enemy.
In addition, Luo Hong also saw the "very familiar" Five Elements Ring here!
In addition to the many magical uses of this ancient treasure in finding enemies and trapped people, Luo Hong was more interested in its inner principles, and especially wanted to figure out how it moved through space.
If you can imitate it, it should become a good escape method.
After standing there and thinking for a while, Luo Hong decided to make an adult choice.
