Of the more than fifty people from Linhai Academy, only those in their early twenties were able to return to the rock safely.
Among the doctoral students who led the team, there were of course people like Que Yan who were eager to escape, but there were also those who fought hard to protect the students from escaping.
Only four sixth-level experts, plus some students, were able to safely retreat to the snow-patterned rock. Only a few of them had reached the fourth-level innate or out-of-body realm.
They all worked hard to build on the basic spiritual formations of Zong Shou's subordinates and continuously strengthened them. Fortunately, they were all from the same sect and had learned the same things. There was no conflict or disharmony between the beast crystals laid out separately and the spiritual talismans drawn. place,
Zong Shou glanced at these people and didn't dare to be interested. Then he frowned. Among this group of people, he was the only one who didn't see the figure of Gong Xinran's younger brother.
Looking into the distance, he saw a swarm of black and red ants, swarming in. Each one was as big as a water tank half a man's height, and looked extremely ferocious. There were black flames burning on his body, and the carapace on his body was swarming. Crystal clear, like red crystal.
However, in front of the ant swarm, there were still a few people running away desperately. One of them was none other than Gong Xinran's younger brother.
Zong Shou suddenly became slightly relaxed and gestured towards Zong Yuan. The latter rose up in the air, his body was like lightning, and in just a moment, he was in front of the ant wave.
A bunch of gun shadows rushed forward like a violent rain and storm in an instant. With the power of thunder and lightning, there were countless purple gun shadows carrying electric current, thousands of them. Instead, they flooded the sky. Completely covered by ant infestation.
Zong Shou's eyes suddenly lit up.
This move is called 'Thousands of Thundering Spears', and it is the move that best embodies the intention of the Thundering Spear. He once used it on Xiong Kui in front of Zong Yuan that day.
But Zong Yuan has learned at this moment that although his control is not as good as him, he can only achieve more than 20% accuracy. But his dominance in grabbing the momentum is even better than his before!
Following the shadow of the gun, bursts of fierce and violent air currents were set off in the void, rushing in all directions!
In an instant, dozens of demonic fire crystal ants were completely torn into pieces by the fierce force of the gun!
The other surrounding crystal ants were also shaken by the strong wind and were staggering to the point of falling.
Just when the ants were suffocated slightly, Zong Yuan turned around and grabbed Gong Xinran's younger brother, not daring to delay for even a moment. With one leap, he returned to the giant rock.
The remaining people also seized this opportunity and continued to run wildly. By the time the ant tide recovered, several people had finally managed to escape to the giant rock. Among them was Zhong Lishuang.
Only one person was a little slower. He was eaten alive by the ant swarm almost in front of everyone. In just a blink of an eye, except for some blood spattered on the ground, he disappeared.
Not only the people in Lin Hai Academy were silent and shocked. Zong Yuan also felt chilled in his heart. Look at the number of ants in the colony, more than three thousand?
Just a rough count, there are tens of thousands of magic fire crystal ants. And the soldier ants two levels higher have not even appeared yet.
Just now, if he had reacted slower or been a little more eager to fight, he might not be able to return safely.
Na Queyan's eyes were cold and cold. When he saw Zong Yuan returning safely, a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes for some reason. After thinking for a moment, he turned towards Zong Shou, cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me in advance." , and also prepared a spiritual formation so that we can have a place of refuge! This time, your nobles took action to save the lives of these disciples in my academy, and I am even more grateful!"
Zong Shou glanced at him sideways and didn't bother to pay attention. Even the people in Linhai Academy also showed contempt on their faces.
Fortunately, those students with ordinary backgrounds, like Zhong Lishuang, who had family power to rely on, all looked at Na Queyan with cold eyes. Some even wished they could eat him alive.
Que Yan was slightly embarrassed, coughed slightly and stopped talking. He pretended to pay attention to the situation of the spiritual formation and the magic fire crystal ants, and looked down.
Those crystal ants only needed a moment to completely surround these two giant stone pillars.
Over at Linhai Academy, a thunder array was laid out. As long as these crystal ants came even slightly close, dozens of thunderbolts would strike down. In addition, dozens of spiritual masters on the stage would activate their spiritual talismans at the same time, and they would strike instantly. Killed more than sixty demonic fire crystal ants, causing the ant tide to retreat slightly.
The area occupied by Zong Shou was a cold spiritual formation.
Que Yan was keenly aware that most of the magic fire crystal ants were unwilling to get close. Then he remembered that the crystal ants liked the heat and were afraid of the cold, so they were naturally a little afraid of that side and would not approach easily.
Occasionally, a dozen demonic fire crystal ants would flap their wings and leap dozens of feet high, intending to fly directly onto the top of the boulder.
But only a few rays of sword light were seen, and a cold light suddenly appeared, instantly smashing the flying crystal ants into pieces. They disappeared again and disappeared into the void.
Que Yan suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He originally thought that these two people could guard a stone alone. Even with a strong man like Zong Yuan, it would be extremely difficult. But at this moment, he completely stopped his thoughts, and any dirty thoughts in him disappeared immediately. Without a trace.
I just secretly worry that in today's situation, even if I escape, I am afraid that I will inevitably die.
The magic fire crystal ant tried several times and left more than two hundred corpses. It temporarily retreated and was a hundred feet away, seeming to be waiting for something.
But it made everyone's minds even more tense. They all knew that the real hard time was yet to come. They were all busy and continued to prepare spiritual techniques and talismans.
Zong Shou, however, took some of his attention away and looked at the young man next to him who was trembling and obviously still feeling frightened.
"You are Gong Xinran's younger brother? Your name is Gong Yue?"
"Your Highness, do you know me?"
Gong Yue woke up, and then her eyes lit up: "My sister often mentioned His Highness in my letters at home. However, during this year, my sister has lost news for a long time."
Zong Shou nodded, and activated the magic formula in his right hand. He quietly spread a layer of illusion around his body. Then he took out the secret martial arts book from the Qiankun bag and threw it away.
"This is a relic that your sister took from an ancestor of your Gong family and asked me to bring it to you. It contains your ancestor's comments and some martial arts secrets of your Gong family, which should be of great help to your martial arts practice. beneficial."
Gong Yue took the scripture in astonishment and opened it, her eyes filled with ecstasy.
The Secret of Martial Arts, written by the Three Saints, is regarded by all aristocratic families as a classic secret, and they don’t realize that they can also obtain it.
Then, when the joy just surged, Gong Yue thought of her sister again, and was about to ask Zong Shou about her whereabouts when she heard a buzzing sound next to her ears.
I saw hundreds of red crystal ants flying from the sky. This time, they were all flying ants with four pairs of wings. Although the number was small, they were all above the fifth level. One of them was the largest. It is fierce, has six wings, is slightly smaller, but seems to be a king, occupying the center of the flying ant colony. Its compound eyes shine with a ruthless luster, looking down.
The ant colony below also separated into several roads. More than a hundred magic fire crystal ants, which were two times larger than ordinary crystal ants, came out from the inside.
The people on the stone pillar were all slightly suffocated. Among the sixth-level experts here, plus Zongyuan, who was only at the fifth-level peak and whose strength was unfathomable, there were only five people in total.
After the ant colony gathered around again, it stagnated for a moment. Suddenly, more than a hundred flying ants rushed down toward the highest rock.
Dozens of soldier ants, with a few jointed limbs moving forward quickly, swooped towards the boulder at the speed of an ordinary person.
With a flick of his body and spread of his wings, he soared more than two hundred feet and slid down.
When the people from Linhai Academy saw this, even those who were grateful before could not help but feel relaxed now.
Several of them even secretly rejoiced in their misfortune.
Zong Shou taunted them with a sarcastic expression, "These magic fire crystal ants are strong, but they have no brains. Are they bullying them?"
Zong Yuan was on guard for a long time, and the Purple Thunder Spear disappeared instantly in his hand. Then a thought, even more tyrannical than before, suddenly rushed through him. Only a few rays of purple light were visible, flashing like the beating of thunder.
There were more than a dozen flying ants, which were pierced through the brain and fell down quickly.
In the end, the dozens of purple thunders all gathered in one place, and finally formed a spear shadow, which instantly penetrated the bodies of two sixth-order soldier ants!
However, he himself seemed to be very exhausted. He was slightly out of breath and took half a step back.
Fortunately, the spiritual formation was also activated at this time. A magnetic force was activated instantly. The weight of the dozens of soldier ants seemed to have increased several times. They fell directly from the air, or collided with each other.
somewhere, or hit the stone pillar.
The hardness of the snow-patterned rock had been strengthened by Zong Shou's spiritual method. It was not damaged at all, but it made the soldier ants feel dizzy when they hit it.
The thirty-six bamboo leaf cold swords were also activated at the right time. With lightning speed, four sixth-level soldier ants were cut into pieces in an instant!
At this time, Zong Shou also held the Thunder Wing Sword. Xiao Jin's body immediately attached to it, strengthening the spiritual weapon again. It was almost infinitely close to the seventh-level spiritual weapon!
The Thunder Winged Sun Snake also turned into a piece of lightning again and wrapped around his right arm.
First he took a gentle breath, and then he suddenly drew his sword. Instantly, the sword shadow flashed, with bursts of screams, slicing through the void around the stone pillar, filling the gap of Zong Yuan's thundering spear.
Shortcomings.
——As long as the purple sword light passes by, whether it is dust as fine as mustard seeds or those huge soldier ants, they will be cut directly!
And he would never last any last hits or waste any energy. With the help of this spiritual formation and Zong Yuan's gun, all the spaces would be sealed.
In just a dozen breaths, more than sixty flying ants were killed one after another by the sword, light and gun.
At this moment, the flying ant king suddenly flashed and turned into a stream of light, mixed in with the ants, and came diagonally.
Zong Shou's eyes also froze slightly, followed by a cold sound. He had been waiting for this guy for a long time!
A red and blue sword light suddenly emerged from the sleeve. With world-shaking power, it also brought up an afterimage in the field of vision of several sixth-level powerhouses and cut it away diagonally.
