The three of them hit the road again, and the barren mountains were even more silent, not to mention spirits, even an ordinary creature was difficult to see.

As Wang Erniu said, the nest of black ants within a radius of 200 miles has been hollowed out, and only some ordinary plants can provide their daily needs.

If it weren't for Wang Erniu and Ant Jun constantly exchanging medicinal materials, it would be difficult for this litter of thousands of black ants to evolve. I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that the two of them can be sheltered by the ant colony and barely survive here.

The three of them entered the mountain for only ten miles, Lu Ming and Wang Erniu gave birth to inductions at the same time, and a team of ten black ants heard the sound and had already appeared on the soles of their feet.

Lu Ming hurriedly ordered the two of them to stop, for fear of causing an overreaction from the ant colony, and then secretly used the magic power of gathering beasts, ordering his black ants to bring a rich mountain worship to the team of black ants.

From Lu Ming's point of view, this team of ten black ants has actually reached the realm of nine grades, and the captain who is the size of a human head at the head is even more complete in nine grades, and the end is mighty and extraordinary.

Of course, Lu Ming will not communicate with the other party, but he can convey his meaning to his own black ants, and then indirectly express his kindness.

Fortunately, both parties are old acquaintances, and after receiving the gift, the three of them were quickly released and were able to pass the checkpoint.

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid that the other party would be greedy, he was afraid that he would not enter the oil and salt, as long as there was something to talk about, it would be easy to talk about it later.

After passing the ant colony boundary line, the road was unimpeded, and Lu Ming no longer looked at the scenery, and took Ding Qiang and Wang Erniu to hurry with all their might, and finally arrived at the barren mountain that Wang Erniu said at sunset that day.

It's just an unremarkable mountain of stones, with no grass growing on it, no life. But no one could have imagined that at the bottom of this stone mountain, there would be a small spiritual vein, which was invaluable.

When Wang Erniu returned here, he almost cried with joy, because he finally saw his other three black ants, and he would no longer be ridiculed by Ding Qiang for being useless.

If it weren't for Lu Ming still in front of him, Wang Erniu would probably order his three black ants to beat Ding Qiang on the spot, and he would be ashamed.

"Two adults, this is the villain's home here. Wang Erniu took Lu Ming to a stone cave halfway up the mountain, and said a little embarrassed.

The door of the cave was only made of a boulder, and Ding Qiang took the initiative to push the boulder away, and a sour and rotten smell suddenly came to his face.

Lu Ming glanced at Wang Erniu, in exchange for an even more shameful smile from the other party. After confirming his eyes, Lu Ming can be sure that this is indeed the residence of a single man with his feet.

After going in and taking a turn, there was nothing suspicious except for the mess, Lu Ming escaped and got out, he would rather use the sky as a bed than live in that cave.

While ordering the two of them to make a fire, Lu Ming controlled a few black ants and kept diving to check his spiritual vein treasures.

Sure enough, one hundred and fifty zhang deep, through the perspective of the black ant, Lu Ming found the small spiritual vein.

With a hint of excitement, Lu Ming carefully checked the calculation and was quite satisfied with this gain.

"If this spiritual vein is fully mined, it can probably be exchanged for more than a thousand space-time power. It's just that if I rashly take out so many years of spirit stones in exchange for treasure medicine, it is easy to be targeted, and I have no way. After Lu Ming calculated, he was thinking about how to maximize the use of this wealth.

Spirit stones are needed by supernatural powers, medicinal materials are needed by true martial artists, and gold and silver are hard currencies for ordinary people, but the three can also be interconnected, it depends on whether they can find a suitable market and maximize profits.

Fortunately, the cultivation and evolution of the black ant colony requires qi and blood medicinal materials, and they have no interest in this spiritual vein, otherwise they would not have waited for Wang Erniu and Lu Ming to develop it.

Lu Ming pondered for a long time, and decided not to dig up this spiritual vein first, he retracted his consciousness, looked at Wang Erniu and Ding Qiang on the side, and summoned the two over.

"Adults, please eat. Wang Erniu carried a roasted chicken leg and offered it, and Ding Qiang also carried a bowl of freshly boiled rice porridge and put it next to Lu Ming.

"Good work. Lu Ming thanked him with a smile, took out a jar of wine from the time and space in his body, and motioned for the two of them to be casual.

After Ding Qiang was slightly surprised by Lu Ming's method of conjuring things out of thin air, he hurriedly took over the wine jar and divided the wine deliciously. Wang Erniu knew that Lu Ming was carrying treasures such as Qiankun bags, but he could only envy them.

After drinking a bowl of wine and relieving a little tiredness, Lu Ming looked at Wang Erniu and said, "You really haven't seen the queen ant?"

The wine bowl in Wang Erniu's hand trembled, this master still didn't give up, he cautiously turned his head and looked around, as if the black ant could understand human words.

Then, Wang Erniu put down the wine bowl in his hand and whispered: "I really haven't seen it, the queen ant is the pillar of the entire ant colony, and she won't show up at all until she has to, I don't even know where their nest is, and I don't dare to investigate." ”

Lu Ming nodded, thinking about it, he could understand that the queen ant must be heavily guarded by the entire ant colony, once someone over-investigates, I am afraid that thousands of black ants will move and strangle the crisis in the cradle.

With the cautious nature of Ant Jun and Wang Erniu, they naturally didn't dare to move this kind of thought. Of course, the main reason is that their strength is limited, and they don't have the magical power realm to control the queen ant.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming was no longer in a hurry to find the queen ant, but instead asked, "How far is the Beast Gathering Sect from here, and is there still a supernatural person like you who manipulates black ants?"

Lu Ming's own beast-gathering supernatural power is still at the first level, and if he wants to subdue and control the queen ant, he also has to raise this supernatural power to the second or even third level.

Therefore, this first step is to find an opportunity to bring the Beast Gathering Sect in, and then try to do anything else.

When it came to the Beast Gathering Sect, Wang Erniu cringed a little and said: "Two hundred miles further southeast, there is the Barbarian Demon Domain, and the Beast Gathering Sect is on a big mountain in the Barbarian Demon Domain. ”

"There is no black ant group in the barbarian demon territory, because a single black ant is a very weak demon beast, so there is no one to control the black ant. For those who gather beasts and supernatural powers, which kind of demon beast they choose determines their future cultivation path, and they must be cautious. ”

"The two of us are in a lowly realm, and we are not qualified to select demon beasts in the barbarian demon territory, but by chance, we found a few scattered black ants in the outer wasteland. Wang Erniu explained.

Lu Ming understood that the Beast Gathering Divine Powers were not reckless in subduing demon beasts, and after choosing a demon beast, they would do their best to cultivate and establish a long-term subordinate relationship. If you change it halfway, it will be more than worth the loss.

"It makes sense, so I can't afford to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Queen, this is a lot of potential stocks. Lu Ming was even more determined in his choice.

"There's no other way, just engage in the Beast Gathering Sect. Lu Ming made up his mind to deal with the Beast Gathering Sect first.
