"You're saying that a new queen is being born inside the hive?" After You Ming glanced at the hive, he asked in surprise.

"That's right, young master, if you use your spiritual power to investigate, you will find that the original queen ant was hit hard because of the death of her master, and a new queen ant will be born soon."

You Ming released his spiritual sense, and sure enough, he found that there were two particularly powerful breaths in the hive, which were different from other gold-devouring ants, and these two breaths had obvious mood swings. One of them is dying, and the other is in the stage of awakening from ignorance.

"If you contract the newly-born queen, you can control all the gold-eating ants?"

Ji Zhenyue nodded, and then pointed to the insect nest with some excitement and said, "Young master, you see, all the gold-devouring ants have calmed down, take this opportunity to hurry up and contract the queen ant, and it will be troublesome when it completely wakes up." ”

"I'm not interested, if you like it, you can make your own contract!" You Ming shook his head, his face was flat.

"Young master, what did you say?" Ji Zhenyue thought she had misheard, rubbed her ears, looked at You Ming in surprise and asked.

"Do you have a star seal?"

Ji Zhenyue nodded desperately, her head almost hanging to her chest.

"Congratulations, the Queen of Gold Ants is yours." You Ming said with a look of lack of interest.

He did have some disdain for the Gold Eater Ant Colony, which reminded him of the Zerg that were rampant in the Overworld, and he didn't like to manipulate the way the ant colony fought. He trusts his own abilities even more, what abilities can the contract ant queen bring to him, thinking about it, the biggest possibility is strong fecundity, he doesn't want to let himself become a species. Horse.

"Young master, you are so good!" Ji Zhenyue didn't know what he was thinking, she was moved in her heart, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will not let you down." ”

A silver light shone down over the hive, and the entire hive seemed to burn with silver flames, surrounded by countless stars, and the golden star marks appeared from time to time, and the dark red forest looked sacred and transcendent.

At this moment, the star seal in his sea trembled, and it seemed that he was going to cut off his beard again.

You Ming was startled, and hurriedly used his consciousness to stop Xingyin, and after a while, I don't know if Xingyin really sensed his thoughts, or if he couldn't look down on this queen, in short, he gradually calmed down.

As soon as You Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the surrounding gold-devouring ants began to riot, and some gold-devouring ants "buzzed" and flew up, like small bombers rushing towards them, and their sharp and hideous teeth were clearly visible.

Ji Zhenyue's face was a little pale, her silver teeth were clenched, and beads of sweat were rolling down her forehead, obviously the contract process was not so smooth, and she was fiercely resisted by the queen ant.

You Ming hurriedly came to her side to protect the Dharma, and the scimitar spun out, slashing the flying gold-devouring ants one by one.

His expression was solemn, and he once again felt the difficulty of the gold eater ants, they are fast, small in size, and their bodies are very hard, even with the sharpness of the scimitar, it is difficult to kill these gold eaters, and the only way to deal with this group of gold eaters is to kill their owners.

"Mark of the Stars—Contract!"

At this moment, Ji Zhenyue suddenly shouted, and as her words fell, the insect nest began to tremble violently, and golden rays bloomed out of the hole.

"It's done!" Ji Zhenyue wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said happily.

As soon as she beckoned, except for the dozen or so gold-devouring ants that were killed by You Ming, the other gold-devouring ants flew back to the hive.

The Red Flame Tiger also dragged the dying flamingo over at this time, and it was able to escape, but after the death of the owner, the Flower Sac, chose to fight with the Red Flame Tiger, and was directly bitten off by the Red Flame Tiger.

"Well done!"

You Ming effortlessly dealt with the flamingo and absorbed a large crimson jellyfish, and he was very satisfied with the performance of the Red Flame Tiger.

Then he threw all the unwanted fire attribute soul cores in the small skin bag to the Red Flame Tiger. He couldn't look down on the mixed fire energy in these soul cores, but he didn't have that concern for the Red Flame Tiger.

After removing the flamingo's soul core, he was even more satisfied. There are also three high-level soul cores in the small skin bag, counting the soul core of the flamingo, You Ming got four high-level fire attribute soul cores from the flower sac.

Four soul cores may seem like a few, but they are already a lot of wealth for the Phantasor. Every high-level phantom demon is equivalent to the existence of a hegemon. It is very difficult for an ordinary Phantom Master to hunt a high-level Phantom Demon alone.

Under normal circumstances, hunting high-level phantom demons, phantom masters only have some opportunities to form a team, and even so, the risk of hunting high-level phantom demons is not ordinarily large, so the soul core of high-level phantom demons has always been priceless, and it will only be seen when it is exchanged for precious materials.

However, for You Ming, they were just materials used to assist in cultivating the flame ability, and after disposing of the flamingo's corpse, You Ming found a safe place and began to cultivate.

………………

Outside the cave, You Ming's whole person was wrapped in flames, and with a wave of his arm, a basketball-sized fireball flew out. With a thud, the fireball smashed into a large rock and exploded, breaking the stone in half.

"What a power! Young master, you can control the bursting fireball. Ji Zhenyue exclaimed in surprise on the side.

Three days ago, You Ming had already absorbed all four fire attribute soul cores, and the fire ability had been able to release flames, which could be described as rapid progress.

Not only that, but he also flipped through Yan Gang's cultivation experience notes, and under the bypass, he mastered the ability to burst fireballs, but he was not proficient enough to use it.

Looking at the broken two halves of the stone, You Ming didn't have much joy on his face, and shook his head and said, "The speed is still too slow, and it won't play much role in actual combat." ”

"That's also remarkable, young master, you have only mastered the burst fireball in a few days, and many phantom masters will never use the burst fireball in their lifetime." Ji Zhenyue looked at You Ming with admiration.

These days, under the influence of the contract, she is gradually losing herself, and her thoughts are mainly based on You Ming.

"It's not enough! My flame abilities need to be strengthened. ”

"Young master, then let's hunt high-level phantom demons again, you can watch me this time!" Ji Zhenyue patted the small leather bag on her waist and said confidently.

You Ming saw that it was very inconvenient for her to carry the worm nest, so he had already handed her the space skin.

This is also one of the reasons why Ji Zhenyue was quickly lost, You Ming's attitude towards her made her very moved, and this emotion was amplified countless times under the effect of the contract, imperceptibly affecting her mind, so as to firmly control her in this way.

Although You Ming didn't know how the contract worked, he also clearly felt that Ji Zhenyue had changed these days, the most obvious thing was that she was no longer deliberately tempting herself, occasionally probing her inner thoughts, and she no longer had the idea of "turning over and being the master".

You Ming is very happy to see this change in Ji Zhenyue, and now he completely regards her as his own.

As soon as he flicked his wrist, a fruit with a strange fragrance appeared in his palm, he handed the poison fruit to Ji Zhenyue, and said, "Feed it to the queen of gold devouring ants, absorb this poison fruit, the size of your gold devouring ant colony should expand again, and even mutant ant ant ants can appear." ”

Ji Zhenyue nodded vigorously, and after taking the poison fruit, she looked at the little fox and said with some hesitation: "Young master, do you want to give Xiao Zhen one too?" ”

The little fox called twice, quickly climbed onto You Ming's shoulder, arched his neck with his head, and when he saw him coming, he suddenly had a tearful look on his face.

You Ming was speechless, knowing that this little guy was pretending, but thinking that it had indeed played a great role in the previous battle with the flower sac, he took out another one and gave it to the little fox.

Now he was completely aware of the usefulness of the Poison Fruit, the name of the Poison Fruit was given by the Phantasmal Master, and it was a very appropriate name for the Phantasmal Master.

If the Phantom Master accidentally eats the Poison Fruit, his physical fitness will be greatly enhanced, and at the same time, he will also become an insulator of the alien ability, which is unacceptable to any Phantom Master. Even if the benefits of eating the poison fruit are great, this wild fruit is also a deadly poison for the phantasmagor.

This also plays a role in the phantom demon, just like the Red Flame Tiger, although the flame ability will also be weakened, but that is only temporary, and it can be recovered after a period of time, so the poison fruit is very tempting for the phantom demon, so it can cause a group of phantom demons to compete for it.

As for why the sparkling elephant only took one poison fruit at that time, it was because except for the unique phantom demon like the golden retriever giant ape, other phantom demons continued to take the poison fruit, which would lead to a complete loss of abnormal powers.

Moreover, the Poison Fruit could not be preserved, so the other phantom demons only picked one in order to resist the temptation of the Poison Fruit.
