The piece of "bark" slowly floated up, and there were six long legs like dead branches underneath. This turned out to be a weird mantis the size of a palm.
It was right behind Long Chen, a long knife like a dead branch, stabbing at Long Chen silently.
"Snapped"
When it just moved, it was flicked away by Long Chen's finger, hit the giant tree, and exploded in an instant.
The moment the mantis was killed, Long Chen's expression suddenly changed:
"Oops"
Because he found that after the mantis exploded, an extremely unpleasant smell quickly filled the air. The army of Sky-Eating Ants that was about to fly over the void suddenly turned around and flew towards Long Chen.
Come on, obviously the smell of the mantis attracted them.
"Nima, isn't this really unlucky?"
Long Chen was so angry that he screamed and ran away, rushing through the forest.
"Buzz"
Long Chen's run immediately alarmed the entire Sky-Eating Ant army, and those Sky-Eating Ants immediately divided into parts to chase Long Chen.
The Sky-devouring Ants were extremely fast and quickly chased Long Chen in the forest. The trees that blocked them were smashed into powder by their bodies.
From a distance, it looks like an angry dragon winding its way. Wherever it passes, there is a messy, dense jungle, as if it has been shaved by a razor.
"Nima, isn't it too fast?"
Long Chen looked at the sky-devouring ants approaching rapidly behind him and couldn't help but curse loudly. The wings of these sky-devouring ants seemed to be able to tear the void apart, and their speed was unbelievable.
Especially when he saw their huge jaws with sticky venom, Long Chen felt his scalp numb. If he was bitten by them, the ecstasy would be something that no normal person could bear.
Imagine that the terrifying defense and body of the Ankylosaurus could not withstand their venom, which shows how terrifying their toxicity is.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, Long Chen's whole body was wrapped in blue scales, and he immediately summoned the Blue Dragon Fighting Body.
"It's useless. These sky-devouring ants are alien beasts with extremely low intelligence. They can't feel the pressure of dragon blood at all. You can't scare them." Dragon Bone Evil Moon knew what Long Chen was thinking and said.
The pressure of dragon blood can suppress all beasts. It is a kind of awe that comes from the depths of the soul, but it is only for intelligent creatures.
Although these sky-devouring ants have terrifying combat power, their intelligence is extremely low. They simply don't understand the pressure of Long Chen's dragon blood, and they still try their best to kill Long Chen.
"Then how to do it? Do you want to kill them?" Long Chen said bitterly.
"No, if you kill these Sky-devouring ants, they will release a signal that will attract hundreds and thousands of times more Sky-devouring ants. You'd better run away.
These things are very annoying, not only to you, but also to other monsters, so when you see the Sky-eating Ants chasing you, as long as you don't run directly into their lair, they won't pay attention to you," Dragon Bone Evil Moon said.
Damn, is this still possible? Are you so unlucky when you first come in? You didn't even catch any hair, but you were chased by a group of sky-eating ants. This kind of bad luck can be considered unlucky.
Long Chen ran all the way. Since Dragon Bone Evil Moon said that other monsters also hated Sky-Eating Ants, Long Chen simply jumped out of the forest and flew above the void.
Sure enough, as Dragon Bone Evil Moon said, Long Chen felt several powerful auras along the way and knew that he was approaching the territory of some terrifying existences.
But those terrifying beings just roared in a low voice as a warning and did not take action against Long Chen. They should be worried about those sky-devouring ants.
Hundreds of thousands of sky-devouring ants were chasing behind Long Chen. Long Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Since everyone is afraid of these sky-devouring ants, doesn't it mean they have a talisman?
When Long Chen thought of this, he went straight to the territory of a terrifying monster, ignoring the roar of the monster.
"What are you going to do?" Dragon Bone Evil Moon was surprised.
Long Chen didn't answer, and ran straight towards the terrifying existence. Soon a high mountain appeared in front of him, and on top of the high mountain, lay a huge tiger.
At this time, the tiger stood up, its hair standing on end, as if it was about to take action.
This tiger was taller than the mountain. Standing there with a murderous look, it turned out to be a level 12 monster. It roared loudly at Long Chen, full of warning.
"What do you mean, come and bite me if you don't obey?"
Long Chen yelled with disdain and rushed straight towards the terrifying tiger. The tiger roared several times in succession. Seeing that it could not scare Long Chen, it turned around and ran away, not even leaving its own nest.
"Hey, brother tiger, don't run away, I have something to tell you." Long Chen shouted loudly, but the tiger ignored Long Chen at all, and the huge figure disappeared between heaven and earth in an instant, at an extremely fast speed.
"You're really shameless. Don't you feel worthy of your title as the King of the Forest? Where's your dignity? Where's your integrity? Your... wow, baby."
Long Chen suddenly exclaimed because he saw a big tree with a height of thousands of feet on the high mountain.
The entire mountain is bare, except for a big tree here, which is very conspicuous like a canopy.
The big tree was covered with earthy-yellow fruits, each one as big as a disk and shining with a faint luster.
Long Chen's soul power penetrated the ground, and he was shocked to find that although this big tree was only a thousand feet tall, its roots covered the entire mountain thousands of miles away, and the endless power of the thick soil was absorbed by it.
"Good guy, this is the thick earth essence fruit. It contains endless earth essence. For earth cultivators, this is a divine fruit that condenses the power of earth. Let me go and make a fortune."
Long Chen laughed and was about to run over to dig out the big tree. However, he hesitated and did not take action. Instead, he used the power of his soul to take away half of the fruits that were about to mature on the big tree.
On the one hand, this fruit tree is guarded by the tiger. This fruit of thick soil blooms once every ten thousand years, bears fruit once every ten thousand years, and matures once every ten thousand years.
In other words, the giant tiger was guarding the fruit tree so hard that it would be unkind if Long Chen even carried the tree away.
In addition, if you want to remove the entire tree, it will take a certain amount of time. Once the sky-eating ants arrive, they will destroy it no matter how precious the tree is, which will be a waste of natural resources.
Long Chen took away half of the fruit, cut off a section of the branch with a knife, threw it into the chaotic space, and inserted it into the earth.
The branch immediately sprouted roots and began to grow in the chaotic space. After seeing that there was no problem, Long Chen made a turn and continued to fly forward with a large group of Sky-Eating Ants.
At this time, Long Chen finally realized how awesome it was to feel the power of a fox pretending to be a tiger. Long Chen scared away three terrifying twelfth-level monsters in a row. Unfortunately, apart from the thick earth essence fruit, Long Chen had no other gains.
.
Long Chen knew that the place where these twelfth-level monsters were entrenched was definitely different. Either there were precious medicines and divine fruits, or there must be other treasures nearby.
It's a pity that those sky-devouring ants were chasing so closely that Long Chen didn't have time to search. Otherwise, once he was surrounded by these sky-devouring ants, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, along the way, Long Chen finally felt the terror of the Yin and Yang Realm. There are terrifying monsters everywhere here. The twelfth-level monsters are on the same level as the strong ones in the Netherworld. Ordinary Netherworld strongmen
Without the artifact in hand, in a one-on-one situation, they are no match for these monsters.
Long Chen even felt a terrifying existence, but in the end Long Chen did not dare to go to Dese because the terrifying existence gave him a feeling of extreme danger.
The feeling of danger was stronger than those of the Sky-devouring Ants. If that monster was not afraid of the Sky-devouring Ants and attacked from both sides, Long Chen would have to hang out here even if he had ten lives. It would be too unworthy.
Long Chen ran all the way, but he didn't activate the lightning teleportation technique. He was still thinking about whether he could make a little fortune with these sky-devouring ants.
Long Chen still ran forward quickly in the original direction. Anyway, there was a large group of Sky-eating Ants following behind him, just like a group of escort followers, escorting Long Chen all the way.
"That feeling is getting more and more obvious, and it looks like it's nearby." Dragon Bone Evil Moon said.
Long Chen nodded. He also felt it. It was a familiar yet unfamiliar aura, very strange. It was this aura that attracted him.
"Hey, why are you leaving?"
Long Chen suddenly discovered that there were fewer and fewer of those sky-devouring ants. Some of them had already flown away and no longer chased Long Chen. Some of them were chasing after him feebly, and some began to fly away slowly.
Seeing that the sky-devouring ants were getting fewer and fewer, with only more than 10,000 left in the end, Long Chen suddenly became anxious and actually chased those sky-devouring ants in reverse.
"Damn it, kid, are you crazy? Are you being chased out of your emotions by them?" Dragon Bone Evil Moon shouted loudly. It couldn't understand what was going on in Long Chen's head.
"Buzz"
When Long Chen chased the Sky-Eating Ants back, the Sky-Eating Ants seemed to be stimulated and actually flew back to kill Long Chen.
However, many Sky-devouring Ants have left, and there are only twenty or thirty thousand of them left. But even twenty or thirty thousand of them are terrifying enough. Their dark figures fill the entire void, and they look extremely scary.
"boom"
Long Chen stretched out his big hand, and a huge copper cauldron appeared in the void, covering a space of hundreds of miles in radius, and all the sky-devouring ants were put into the cauldron at once.
That copper cauldron is the Yanlong cauldron that has been refining elixirs for Long Chen. Although the current Yanlong cauldron is only an ancestral weapon, Long Chen has been nourishing it with his soul, making it reach its peak state, which is only slightly worse than the artifact.
That's all.
"Bang"
With a loud bang, the Flame Dragon Cauldron closed, and all the sky-devouring ants were taken into the Flame Dragon Cauldron.
"Boom boom boom..."
Those sky-devouring ants that had been put away by the Flame Dragon Cauldron frantically attacked the cauldron wall inside the Flame Dragon Cauldron, making roaring and explosive sounds, and the sound was extremely terrifying.
This is the Flame Dragon Cauldron. If it were an ordinary ancestral weapon, it would have exploded long ago.
"Buzz"
Long Chen slapped the Flame Dragon Cauldron with his big hand, and endless golden flames enveloped the Flame Dragon Cauldron. At the same time, countless golden threads were intertwined inside the Flame Dragon Cauldron, forming a giant net to bind the Sky-Eating Ants.
together.
As Long Chen's soul power exploded, those filaments tightened tighter and tighter, tying the Sky-Eating Ants into a ball and making them unable to attack the Flame Dragon Cauldron.
Although Long Chen acted quickly enough, many fine cracks still appeared on the Flame Dragon Cauldron, and it almost exploded.
"Good guy, these guys are really scary." Long Chen couldn't help but secretly exclaim, the jaws of those sky-devouring ants are so powerful, no wonder those twelfth-level monsters would run away when they saw them.
"Why are you spending so much effort catching them? Are you going back to make soup to replenish your body?" Dragon Bone Evil Moon said with mockery.
"Hehe, I'm going to take it back and make it a pet for Meng Qi. Anyway, don't ask, you won't understand anyway." Long Chen chuckled and continued to move in the direction where he had the feeling.
Soon, Long Chen saw a huge cave. Inside the cave, there was a creepy aura floating around. Long Chen felt chills running down his spine:
