With the attack of one skill after another, the barrier was like a thin layer of ice, like a dazzling blooming flower, with countless cracks split open.
boom!
The barrier on the ground shattered like glass, and the broken fragments scattered into the void, disappearing little by little under the light.
Everyone rushed up and fell into the hole one after another.
Xiao Ye, Mu Yun and others also jumped down. The place here is indeed very vast. Directly below, there is an extremely huge spirit beast skeleton. The skeleton is huge, but its flesh and blood body has turned into decay.
, even the bones that seemed to have some value became dilapidated, densely packed with countless small holes, as if they would turn into debris on the ground with a slight touch.
In addition, apart from the skeleton of the spiritual beast, the terrain and environment here are also extremely complex.
Looking around, there are countless cave entrances, large and small, and each one looks extremely complicated. If you enter them rashly, you may easily get lost.
"Brother Yu, could it be that the people here are driving ant beasts?" Looking at the densely packed cave entrances and such a complex environment, this is definitely not an environment that humans can create. I am afraid that only creatures like ants can do this.
Xiao Ye was horrified when he thought about the ants' swarms, clear division of labor, and powerful and orderly effectiveness.
"It should be." Yu Wen Yanyu said lightly: "That skeleton was probably eaten by the ant beasts here. Even the marrow in the bones was eaten completely. Only the ant beasts have this
kind of skill."
"According to what you said, it is very likely that there are still ant colonies here?" Xiao Ye asked.
If there are still ant colonies here, then how powerful these ant colonies must be. To be able to surround and kill a fifth-level spiritual beast that is about to reach the sixth-level monster here, there should be many ant colonies here.
The fifth level.
Moreover, the cooperative ability of ant colonies is not comparable to that of humans. Once ants become intelligent, humans will only be the unlucky ones.
"You can rest assured. The advantage of the ant colony is that there are many groups, but they have innate flaws that are difficult to make up for. All ant beasts will not exceed the fifth level, and their intelligence is very low, even lower than some ordinary ones.
The intelligence of the spirit beasts is still low. They are only driven by instinct and controlled by the queen ant who has a slightly higher intelligence. This is why the ant beasts cannot rise. Even if there are one or two who can break the rules, there are only a few.
One cannot affect the whole clan, unless becoming a true spirit can change the bloodline of the clan. Of course, if such a powerful race rises, this will never be what other races want to see." Yu Wen Yanyu said firmly.
Xiao Ye felt relieved now. With his current strength, he was still capable of dealing with fourth-level spiritual beasts, but if he had to deal with some fifth-level spiritual beasts, he would really feel guilty.
"Brother, there should be ant beasts kept by the owner here. Ant beasts are social creatures and are good at digging holes and cooperating. The environment and terrain here are complex and changeable and it is difficult to get out. Do you want to come with me?" Mu Yun asked with a smile.
He said, that face as beautiful as a woman made Xiao Ye sometimes wonder whether he recognized him as an elder brother or an elder sister.
After all, Mu Yun is the young master of the Xingluo Chamber of Commerce, and has seen a lot of strong winds and waves. Since he knows what kind of spiritual beast's lair this is, he also knows the group nature of this spiritual beast, and he also knows the complexity of the terrain here.
When he still faced it very calmly without flinching, it was not only his absolute confidence in the two guards behind him, but also his absolute confidence in his own strength.
"No need, brother, I want to go around alone first. Although the terrain here is complicated, my spiritual consciousness is not small and I can still get around here." Xiao Ye said lightly.
In fact, with Mu Yun and others, the risk can be minimized, but it is not convenient for him to let go.
He and Mu Yun only have a superficial relationship. It can be said that there is no friendship at all. They are all friends for their own interests.
Together with Mu Yun, it is difficult to keep any treasures that you encounter. No matter how much Mu Yun knows, how can he know as much as Yu Wen Yanyu?
"In this case, dear brother, be careful in everything you do. If you encounter any difficulties, just use the token I gave you to contact you, and I will find a way to help you." Mu Yun said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, brother." Xiao Ye replied with a smile. After saying that, he found a cave and walked in.
"Young Master, do you want me to follow him?" Shi Zhentian whispered.
"No." Mu Yun said seriously: "After all, he and I are still brothers on the surface. We can't have a stalemate now. His soul is very powerful and special. What will be the impact if it is not kept intact? Otherwise, if you want to control it in the future, you will have to
It became very troublesome.”
"Let's go too. After all, the purpose of our visit this time is Queen Ant Demon Heart."
"Yes!!" Jin Renshan and Shi Zhentian said in unison, looking at Mu Yun walking in front, they said to each other via voice transmission: "Oh~ the young master is still kind, otherwise he wouldn't look for some human garbage, this
How can we inherit the Chamber of Commerce in the future and how can we suppress those old guys..."
"After all, the young master is still young. Although he has experienced a lot, he has not experienced much real big things. Maybe he will be able to do it in a few years. You and I are followers, so don't interfere so much. Just protect the young master.
Our mission.”
But what they didn't know was that Yu Wen Yanyu heard all their conversations clearly. Yu Wen Yanyu didn't remind Xiao Ye. After all, this was Xiao Ye's own business. Fortunately, he was also wary.
For Mu Yun, it is nothing more than a relationship of interest.
Xiao Ye walked into the cave. The inside was even more complicated than the outside. He was anxious and he encountered several cave entrances before he had taken a few steps. This made him very helpless.
Although he knew that ant nests were extremely complicated, he never imagined that they would be so complicated. If he really couldn't get out, he could only break out of the hole in the most violent way.
"What treasures can there be here? It can't be carrion collected by ants, right?" Xiao Ye's mouth twitched a little, thinking about the ants on the earth, they all find scraps of food on the ground, or carrion as food.
Isn't this all the stuff here?
Yuwen Yanyu said angrily: "You brat, are your spiritual beasts really just beasts that only know how to eat? They also need to be cultivated. As for the herbs you use to make medicine, they are also rare ores rich in special spiritual power.
These things are very attractive to them. And the ant colony is a special kind of dominant spiritual beast. They will also divide things into three, six, nine, and store things like humans do. Moreover, this underground is
If there is no barrier, the ant beasts can dig very deep and far to carry treasures from other places."
"According to what you said, maybe there are many rare medicinal herbs here." Xiao Ye's eyes lit up. As an alchemist, he instantly became excited when he heard that there were rare medicinal herbs.
But before he had taken a few steps, he heard a rustle not far away.
Xiao Ye was curious and walked in to take a look. He found that there were several red ants as big as tigers, eating a monk there. The monk's flesh and blood were eaten to pieces. It was extremely disgusting and terrifying. I'm afraid even if he was a relative,
When my mother comes, she probably won’t be able to recognize her.
The natural advantage of ant colonies is that they are large in number and know how to cooperate. If they fight alone, their strength basically has no chance of winning at the same level. But this person was actually eaten by three third-level red ants. It seems that his strength is not good.
Not strong.
Then, those few red ants seemed to smell Xiao Ye's scent, and crawled towards Xiao Ye's book one after another.
The ant legs, like the wings of a bee, were extremely fast and arrived at Xiao Ye's side in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ye now understood why that person was so easily eaten by these three red ants. Not only did these red ants have a keen sense of smell, but they were also so fast. Without spiritual consciousness, the weak ones
They were eaten by them before they could react. And at such a speed, even those with divine consciousness might not be able to dodge with complete confidence.
"It seems that this group of ants has a lot of advantages. Even if they are large in number, they can react so quickly." Xiao Ye muttered to himself lightly, not taking these three red ants seriously at all.
Xiao Ye's red sword was sharp and piercing. One sword was like a hundred swords, and the hundred swords only stabbed at one point. The red shell on the red ant's body was like an egg shell, and was easily pierced by the red sword.
The sword mark energy of Hengkong Jianwei was wrapped around the sword body. The red sword body of Longyan Sword seemed to be wrapped in a layer of invisible colorless sword energy, making the blade even sharper.
Exposed, cutting iron like clay.
Now Xiao Ye's sword intention has reached its peak. Not only that, his understanding of the sword has also reached another level, which is completely beyond what he could match before.
Tao is the understanding of laws. The higher the understanding of Tao, the stronger his swordsmanship will be.
The three red ants were basically killed with one sword, as if Xiao Ye was not attacking third-level spiritual beasts, but three statues, letting him slaughter them.
Xiao Ye put away his sword, split open the heads of three red ants, and took out the animal cores inside. These animal cores are also good medicinal materials for refining medicine. But none of the three red ants had animal cores, which made Xiao Ye a little bit
Angry. Yes, the beast core contains the soul power of the spiritual beast. The ant beast's intelligence is very low, and it is almost difficult to produce the beast core. It is estimated that the ant beast cores on the market are all extremely expensive.
However, not long after leaving, we encountered three third-order red ants. There might be more and stronger ones behind them.
"I don't know how many red ants there are here. If there are too many, it will be very troublesome." Xiao Ye said lightly.
"Based on your current situation, there shouldn't be many here. I guess you're afraid that if the number is too large, it will be easy to be discovered, or it will be difficult to control. But you'd better be careful. There should be a queen ant here, I guess.
All the ant beasts here are controlled by the ant queen, and the beast controllers control the ant beasts." Yuwen Yanyu reminded, he did not tell Mu Yun's matter, after all, he would not know for a while.
I don't know what Mu Yun's purpose is, but the queen ant must exist: "Go in the opposite direction to your right. There seems to be some spiritual energy fluctuations there."
"Really? Then let's go and have a look." Xiao Ye headed in the direction Yu Wen Yanyu said and reached a fork in the road. Xiao Ye used a very rough method to open the way with his sword and take a shortcut.
