Byrne, who had been bored for a long time hiding at the entrance of the passage, saw the blood-red ball and couldn't help but poke his head out and take a second look.
"Famous?" Hero was quite puzzled. Now the two people below were fighting for the red ball.
"A very rare soul tonic!"
"What's the meaning?"
Holo saw Byrne staring down, with a hint of sparkle at the corner of his mouth.
I'm so greedy that my mouth is watering?!
"It's so rare. It's the unique soul substance of ant soul beasts. It's usually the soul essence prepared by the queen for the next generation of queens.
As long as the young ant queen swallows the red ball, it can quickly transition to the full body, start laying eggs on a large scale, and restore the strength of the colony in the shortest time.
It’s just that the red ball needs to consume a lot of flesh and blood essence from the queen ant and even the tribe, which is equivalent to trading half of the tribe for a chance to continue.”
"In other words, the next generation of queen ants still exists in the pile of living ant eggs!"
Hero looked at the ant eggs scattered on the ground, the live eggs that had just broken through the queen ant's abdomen and were still squirming, and everything became silent at this moment.
The Zerg's damn sense of security, the sense of security engraved in their souls, every living egg pretends to be dead, just waiting to be born again when it's safe.
An iron ant queen's soul beast egg can definitely be sold at a good price. Controlling a queen ant means controlling the entire ant colony.
Moreover, iron ants are relatively easy to maintain among all ant soul beasts.
You only need soil and metal, plus a little blood food, to build a huge underground kingdom!
"Byrne, don't look at the Queen Ant Essence. We can't get it unless we have a hard fight with the two below... But I don't think we can beat any of them."
Byrne's eyes dimmed instantly.
"That's right, neither of them will give up the essence. This is the best supplement for apprentices who have reached critical breakthrough. It has no side effects. After being filtered by the queen ant's ovary, it contains only the purest essence of soul and flesh and blood.
.”
"Huh? Byrne, what do you think that is?"
The appearance of the queen ant essence made Hall, who was hiding in the dark, take the initiative to appear.
Now he can't help but slowly consume Marquis!
If either side seizes the essence, although this is not the right time to break through to the level of magician, its hard power can still be greatly increased.
With the blessing of [Physique], Hero definitely surpasses Byrne in terms of five senses.
This is also what Byrne is puzzled about, why Hero can always find things that he can't detect.
The pit where Hall jumped out was no longer covered by him, and a pure silver signal mark appeared inside.
The four-leaf clover-shaped fan blades are constantly rotating, and the inexplicable magnetic field is emitted from above.
"That seems to be [eddy current magnetic field]?"
Byrne was also a little confused. His family's soul skills had never been exposed to magnetic fields or machinery, so he couldn't be sure.
"You said that if the magnetic field is destroyed, will the situation be more favorable to us?"
A scenario where both sides suffer losses is what most onlookers would like to see.
He did what he said, and while the two people below were fighting, Hero pointed his hand towards the signal pole.
The distance was a bit far. If the lunar energy exploded with normal power, the two people would be aware of the presence of outsiders if the distance was not correct. Helo only dared to test it with the least powerful lunar energy first.
After an adjustment, the moonlight happened to fall in the pit.
【Moon Energy Explosion】!
Crackling!
As a functional one-time pseudo-Horcrux, it itself is not meant to be solid.
It is in the producer's interest to accidentally damage it.
There was a burst of arcing sparks, and the sterling silver four-leaf clover fan shattered into pieces.
Hall, who was commanding the army of zombies, heard the explosion behind him, and a bad premonition came to him.
Sure enough, after the explosion, Marquis, who was originally surrounded by corpses, became extremely brave.
"Did you destroy it? No...impossible!"
The spirit manifested! Where no one could see it, a heavy spiritual hammer crashed down.
Marquis, who had veins on his forehead, was obviously in a state of high-pressure mental output.
So brave.
"Eighty! Eighty!"
Holo couldn't stop talking about it, every time a corpse was smashed into a pulp, the beauty of violence.
He was envious.
How far do you have to learn the chaotic system to be so powerful!
This is the first time that Hero has seen the full intensity of the 'Ten-Year Sorcerer's Apprentice'.
Hall has yet to confirm who destroyed the magnetic field.
Malquis, who invested most of his resources into spiritual embodiment, far exceeded the mental strength of the same apprentices, and had perfectly killed all the ghouls.
Confront Hall.
only......
"Marquis! How long can your mental power be used up? The corpse is just a consumable! I can still have full soul power!"
when!
The sound of fierce metal collision echoed in the cave.
Marquez's mental hammer was blocked by Hall.
Hall took out a black, misshapen sickle from nowhere and blocked it above his head.
The sickle is covered with a thick layer of rotten flesh, just like the body of a ghoul. The lymph on it is constantly stirring, emitting a circle of black soul energy.
It is this mass of soul energy and the invisible spiritual hammer that is constantly being consumed.
It makes a 'crunching' sound.
Every slash from the scythe was beyond Hero's expectations.
"Sure enough, all of them are melee mages, right? The soul art turret can't learn it, and each one is more powerful than the other in melee combat!"
As Marquez's mental power gradually withered, the corrupted soul energy on the scythe had cut scars on his chest.
It was visible to the naked eye that the corruption was slowly getting deeper and eroding his chest.
Forced into desperation, Marquez, whose eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, suddenly struck the mental sword straight into Hall's face.
Needless to say, the soul technique of [Spiritual Tower] is indeed the most difficult to detect.
The sudden change of formation left Hall unable to react for a moment.
In a hurry, the gap between the sickle handle and the mental sword only cut off half of his scalp.
And Marquez turned sideways and rushed behind Hall.
He wanted to snatch the essence first, which contained the ant queen's sad will before her death. It was the most useful tonic for his spiritual system, not even comparable to the majestic pure soul.
"Pico! I think we can make it!"
Seeing the two men below killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to themselves, Byrne ignited the flame of hope in his heart and excitedly shook his head at Hero.
"Do you still have the means to keep the bottom of the box? If not, it will be difficult!"
Hero was very calm. He could tell that both of them were hiding something!
At least the means of escaping and dying together that Mena mentioned to him have not been used yet.
Byrne hesitated for a while, then looked at the increasingly bright red ball underneath.
He gritted his teeth and whispered: "Yes! It's just that the side effects are a little bigger. If it breaks out, there is a high probability that you will lose the ability to move."
Hero turned his head, a little surprised. Normally he wouldn't tell others about something like this that was kept at the bottom of the box.
It seems that the essence seduced Byrne a little too much.
Byrne stared at Holo, hoping to get Holo's promise.
He is not afraid of the conditions proposed by Hero, and he can accept the sharing of benefits. Although he is careless, it does not mean that he will not be afraid of betrayal.
Hero thought expressionlessly for a while and decided:
"I also have stuff at the bottom of the box, I'll get on it later!"
As soon as these words came out, Byrne let out a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect that Holo would be so honest and even plan to take the lead.
