There are more than ten army ants, but these numbers are far from enough to pose a threat to everyone.
The queen ant continued to make a buzzing sound, controlling the last few army ants to escort herself away.
However, in front of Zhang Nianchuan and others, this kind of resistance was useless.
Two green bamboo swords flew across the air one after another. It was Zhang Nianchuan and Lin Han who both took action. The blue light rose up and they slashed down with the two swords. They quickly cleaned up the dozen army ants, revealing the figure of the queen ant.
At this time, the queen ant was completely panicked and tried to escape from the space between Zhang Nianchuan and Song Minghui.
Although it is small in stature, only about the size of two fingers, its speed is not slow at all. It runs at the same speed as a wild cat.
"The cooked duck, don't let it escape!"
Zhang Nianchuan reacted quickly and drew his sword to intercept.
The green bamboo sword flew down across the air and struck directly in front of the queen ant, causing the queen to let out a strange scream and immediately change her route and run in another direction.
"The little guy looks small, but he runs pretty fast!"
Song Minghui shouted loudly and took action. She used the scarlet silk ribbon and used the binding power of this magic weapon to launch an offensive against the queen ant.
Under the joint attack of everyone, the queen ant could not escape and was quickly tightly bound by Song Minghui with a scarlet silk ribbon.
The binding force of this magic weapon was enough to crush the queen ant, but Song Minghui was very measured and just wrapped the queen tightly.
Zhang Nianchuan acted according to the opportunity, took out a scented poison from the storage bag, peeled off the bottle cap, and poisoned the queen ant.
The queen ant only struggled a few times, but soon became unresponsive and became dying, with her mobility greatly restricted.
The poison released by Zhang Nianchuan will not endanger the life of the queen ant. It is not highly toxic and the dosage is very small.
Taking out a spirit beast box, Song Minghui put the dizzy queen ant into it and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This trip to assist the Zhang family and clean up the marching ant colony was finally completed successfully.
After successfully capturing the queen ant, everyone began to carefully clean the nest to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
Generally speaking, this process cannot be ignored. If you want to cut the weeds, you must remove the roots without leaving any hidden dangers.
It was precisely because of this exploration that no surviving army ants appeared in this nest, and Song Minghui was the first to make a new discovery.
"Huh?"
She was a little surprised. In the place where the queen ant lived, she found that the purity of the spiritual energy here was very rich.
The richness of this level of spiritual energy is not at the same level as the purity of the spiritual energy when you first entered the lair.
I was busy fighting before and didn't pay much attention to the concentration of spiritual energy here. I thought that the lair here was built on the spiritual veins of Guangde County's formation, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
It is normal for the spiritual energy to be a little stronger.
But with this discovery, Song Minghui became interested and immediately conducted a serious investigation to find out.
She discovered that the attributes of this aura were actually mixed with earth attribute aura.
"How come there is such a strong earth-attribute spiritual energy here?"
This is a bit unusual.
Guangde County's formation spiritual veins only contain the two attributes of water and wood. This is known to everyone. It is these two attributes that satisfy the operation and stability of the city defense formation.
What's going on with this sudden earth-attribute aura?
"Junior Brother Zhang, have you noticed anything unusual?"
In response, Song Minghui asked Zhang Nianchuan in a low voice.
She is a monk with dual spiritual roots of earth and water. Her main spiritual root is earth, and she is very sensitive to earth-attribute spiritual energy, so she was the first to discover the anomaly here.
Hearing this, Zhang Nianchuan's originally relaxed face suddenly showed a serious look, realizing that Senior Sister Song's behavior might have revealed something wrong.
After paying a little attention and being reminded by Song Minghui, Zhang Nianchuan also noticed the existence of earth-attribute aura.
Afterwards, Lin Han, Xu Yi, and Chu Qin were also informed of the matter.
Zhang Deming and other Zhang family monks were naturally aware of the situation.
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."
"The earth attribute spiritual energy is so strong, could it be that a new spiritual vein was born here?"
Zhang Deming guessed.
"It's really possible."
Zhang Nianchuan nodded slightly, and had his own conjecture, saying: "Spiritual veins are naturally bred by heaven and earth. Artificial cultivation requires a huge investment, and it is difficult to hide the cultivation process. It is necessary to purchase a large-scale spirit gathering array to gather the aura of heaven and earth to nurture a new line over a long period of time."
Spiritual Veins.”
"This place is located outside of Guangde County, within the suburbs of the city. If it is a new spiritual vein cultivated artificially, this cultivation of spiritual veins must have been spread long ago, and it cannot be a secret."
"But I have never heard of anyone cultivating new spiritual veins here. There is no news at all about this matter."
Speaking of this, Zhang Nianchuan looked sideways at Zhang Deming and asked: "Clan Chief Zhang, have you ever noticed that there are spirit gathering and other spirit gathering formations around you, or has there been anything strange, the appearance of some strange monks or forces?
trace?"
"nothing."
Zhang Deming shook his head and said with certainty: "Although my Zhang family is weak and only a Qi-training family, once a large spirit gathering pool appears around, it will be noticed in time. It is impossible for people to do it so silently under their noses.
Cultivate a new spiritual vein."
"The hundred-mile radius of the lair here is also within the Zhang family's observation line of sight."
"Then this means that this spiritual vein was born from heaven and earth. Only in this way can we realize it today."
"This place is underground. If the army ants hadn't built their nest here, we probably wouldn't have discovered this spiritual vein so quickly."
Zhang Nianchuan concluded: "Let's investigate more carefully. This matter is not trivial."
Everyone nodded.
After just half an hour of investigation, everyone finally came to a conclusion.
In the underground location in the center of this lair, a new second-order low-grade earth-attribute spiritual vein appeared!
The second-level low-grade spiritual veins can satisfy the cultivation of foundation-building monks.
The birth of this spiritual vein is also related to the formation spiritual vein in Guangde County.
One of the reasons for its birth is also the long-term influence of the spiritual veins of the formation.
After confirming the existence of this spiritual vein, both the Qingshan Sect and the Zhang family became very interested in this spiritual vein.
Qinglian Mountain's current spiritual pulse level is the second-level mid-level, which is barely sufficient for the cultivation of foundation-building monks such as Lu Yuanshan.
In the later stage, it is also necessary to upgrade the spiritual vein level, or find a second-level high-grade spiritual vein, or even a higher-grade spiritual vein, in order to maintain the practice of Lu Yuanshan and other foundation-building monks.
Improving the level of a spiritual vein or finding a new spiritual vein are urgent matters and cannot be delayed.
As for the Zhang family, their current spiritual vein level is at the first-level mid-level, which is very low.
