Chapter 337: The Crown and the Ant King
The queen ant died in battle, and the ant clan panicked, and most of them gave up continuing to besiege Liu Feixue and Mei Lan, and hid in their own nests. 【】
Looking at this situation, Liu Feixue also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first is not only applicable in the human world, but also in the world of spirits.
"Let's go. Liu Feixue took Mei Lan's hand, and was about to escape from this ant clan's lair, anyway, there is no point in staying here, if you continue, in addition to killing or killing, you can't improve your cultivation in the slightest, but it's just a waste of true yuan and spiritual power.
However, they wanted to leave, but some "people" did not agree.
As soon as they walked out of the queen's nest, Liu Feixue and Mei Lan were stopped by nine ant people of almost the same size, all of whom were similar to the sixth ant king, but the color of their bodies was different.
"Kill our noble ant queen, do you want to run away now?" One of the crimson ant people was dressed in human clothes, and he really looked a little presentable.
"Your Excellency?" asked Liu Feixue with a frown.
"First Ant King!" replied the red ant man in a deep voice, "Nine of them here are Ant Kings, do you think you can easily escape?"
Liu Feixue observed the nine ant kings and found that these nine guys were all weaker than the ant queen, but I don't know why, once they stood together, their aura was incomparably compatible, and they were able to condense into a demonic aura with the same surname, as if it came from one of the ant clansmen.
Such a level of tacit understanding is simply no different from a spirit.
With such a tacit understanding, it is really not easy for Liu Feixue to deal with, especially the red first ant king, whose strength is obviously closest to the queen ant, and it seems that he has also comprehended the way of gold, which is not much better than the queen ant.
If these guys really have to join forces, even if Liu Feixue can win and leave, it will definitely be a miserable victory, and it will not be beneficial to his future actions in the demon world at all.
As if he felt that this kind of coercion and oppression had worked, the red ant king smiled and said: "But if you kill the ant queen, it will not hurt a few of us, in order to consolidate the position of our ant kings in the ant clan, like humans, the queen ant must die with a male surname, so if you are willing to help us do something, we can let you go, and even help you pass through the Black Wood Demon Forest." ”
"Blackwood Demon Forest?" Liu Feixue really didn't know anything about the demon world, which was why he didn't want to fall out with the residents here as soon as he entered.
"Human, you don't even know about the Black Wood Demon Forest, do you?" asked the Red Ant King with a smile.
"I really don't know, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Mei Lan couldn't help but ask, although she had been cultivating with Lady White Fox for a long time, Lady White Fox didn't know anything about this demon world created by the Demon Emperor's evil spirit, so how could she teach her?
"What I can tell you now is that the Black Wood Demon Forest is the only way to the real Demon Realm, we are only here at the edge of the Demon Realm, but once we enter the Black Wood Demon Forest, everything is different, in the Demon Forest, from flowers and trees to birds and beasts, almost all of them are spirits, ordinary humans are not able to move an inch at all, even we dare not go deep easily. The Red Ant King explained.
"There is actually a place like that, isn't it more terrifying than the Qiandao Lake on the land of Panhuang?" Liu Feixue was also slightly embarrassed in his heart, although he thought that his strength was good, but according to the red ant king, the ant clan only lived in the marginal area of the demon realm, but the ant queen was so strong, wouldn't the spirits in the black wood demon forest be ridiculously stronger?
Thinking of this, Liu Feixue looked at the Red Ant King and asked, "I don't know what you need us to do for you?"
"So you agreed?" asked the Red Ant King excitedly.
"Let's talk about something first, if I can't do it, I don't need to agree. Liu Feixue said lightly.
"Your cultivation is so powerful, and you are a human being, you should probably be able to do it. The Red Ant King said as he shook his tentacles excitedly.
"Let's talk about it. Liu Feixue is not in the mood to chat with an ant here, as a human being, chatting with the ant in front of him, he feels as if he is crazy.
"The human surname is really in a hurry. The red ant king pursed his lips and said, "That's right, you must also know very well that our ant clan has always been the supreme queen ant, although we are the king in name, but in fact our status is very poor." But at that time, we never thought about fighting for anything or overthrowing the queen ant, but then many humans were accidentally involved here, and after learning from those humans the idea of the supremacy of the male surname in the human world, there was finally a restless factor in the race. ”
"I'm not here to listen to the story, just say what I'm going to do. Liu Feixue is really not very interested in such a story, anyway, it has nothing to do with herself.
However, the red ant king ignored his scratches and continued: "Finally, there is an ant king who stood up to challenge the authority of the ant queen, of course, he died miserably in the end, but after the death of this ant king, a news spread, saying that on the Tianwang Mountain dozens of miles away from here, there is a crown left by the demon emperor, as long as you get that crown, you can become the king who rules everything, and what we expect is to get that crown." ”
"What do you really think the crown does?" Liu Feixue sneered disdainfully.
"The key is not whether the crown is useful or not, but because the legend is firmly believed within the ant clan, and now that the queen ant is dead, before the new queen is elected, if we can get the crown, we can really rule the whole ant clan. The Red Ant King explained.
"Okay, it sounds quite interesting, I agreed to this, but I don't know where Tianwang Mountain is?" Liu Feixue thought about it, he came to the Demon Realm to find the Demon Emperor, and now that he got the news about the Demon Emperor, he should go and see what happened, so he agreed.
Hearing that Liu Feixue agreed to her request, the ant kings cheered one after another, even more excited and happy than when Liu Feixue had broken through one obstacle after another in her cultivation.
"Then let's go now. "It's already dawn outside, Liu Feixue has nothing to worry about, and with these nine great ant kings escorting, I guess there are no monsters or spirits in this area who dare to provoke them.
On the way, Mei Lan called Liu Feixue aside and said in a low voice: "Brother, there is something I forgot to tell you, before coming here, Mrs. White Fox once told me something, let me tell you something, let you be careful." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Madame said that the Underworld also entered the Demon Realm, although I don't know how it got in, but it did come in before us. You have a grudge against that underworld, and it will never let you go easily, so you must be careful. Merlin replied in a low voice.
Although he has worshipped Mrs. White Fox as his teacher, Mrs. has a quirk and doesn't like others to call him Master, so Mei Lan has always called Mrs. White Fox Mrs.
"That guy is the closest demon beast to the realm of the true self, it's been so long, and I don't know if that guy's cultivation has made a breakthrough, so he must be like a fish in water in this demon realm. When Liu Feixue heard the name of the Demon Emperor, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, after all, it was the former mount of the Demon Emperor, and the relationship with the Demon Emperor may be second only to the White Fox Lady, and what she learned from the Demon Emperor must not be less.
"By the way, didn't Madame White Fox mention anything about the crown to you?" Liu Feixue couldn't help but ask, to him, Meilan is like a database now, and many things he doesn't know, Meilan may have learned from Madam White Fox.
"I said, the crown was originally given by the Demon Emperor to the ant queen, but after the defeat of the demon emperor, the crown is nowhere to be found, I heard that the crown is not only a symbol of status, but also can greatly enhance the strength of the original god, so that the deterrent power of the ant queen becomes stronger, so it is indeed an indispensable good thing for the ruler. Merlin thought for a moment.
"I see, it seems that the Demon Emperor has really worked hard, it seems that among the rising demon clans, there is a crown given by him himself. Liu Feixue guessed.
"Well, that's right, whether it's the ant clan, the white fox clan, or the rest of the infused eagle clan, the brute bull clan, etc., they all have the same crown, but the texture is different. At that time, there were seven demon kings under the Demon Emperor, who were the leaders of the Monkey Clan, the Elephant Clan, the Dapeng Clan, the Snake Clan, the Jiao Clan, the Barbarian Bull Clan, and the White Fox Clan. Merlin nodded.
"Seven Great Demon Kings, I don't know if the Seven Great Demon Kings in this demon world exist?" Liu Feixue was a little looking forward to what the Seven Great Demon Kings who had followed the Demon Emperor to kill all directions were like, and how strong they were.
"In fact, Mrs. White Fox was one of the seven demon kings at that time, but she reached the realm of the true self because she was stained with the light of double cultivation with the demon emperor, and the other six demon kings should all be strong in the realm of the void self. Merlin thought for a moment.
"Six powerhouses in the realm of the void self plus two powerhouses in the realm of the true self, this level, I am afraid that it is much stronger than the Shengtian Alliance, if the demon clan in the demon realm is allowed to enter the land of Panhuang, it will really be a situation where human beings will be slaughtered again." Liu Feixue sighed.
"Yes, this is probably the biggest reason why Dao Ancestor sealed the Demon Emperor in the first place, after all, if it is only one Demon Emperor, it is not enough to shake the foundation of the Panhuang Land, if you add the entire Demon Clan, it will be completely different. Merlin nodded.
The two chatted all the way, but it didn't seem lonely, it didn't take long to see a black and oppressive forest from a distance, and as far as the eye could see, they couldn't see the edge at all, it seemed that until the end of the sky, everything had become black, and in the black woodland, the demonic aura was even more amazing, and it could even be clearly seen with the naked eye.
"Two, Tianwang Mountain is about to arrive, in order to prevent you from being eroded by the demonic energy of the Black Wood Demon Forest, let's wear these two Ice Heart Talismans on your body first, you can purify the demonic energy, and you can keep the Yuan Shen awake, it is the best thing for you humans, it is useless to stay with me. The Red Ant King handed over two ordinary-looking jade talismans to Liu Feixue and Mei Lan, explaining, "This thing was originally caught up in the humans here, but they were eaten by the queen ant and can no longer be used, so you can use it, the effect is very good." ”
Liu Feixue did not doubt the kindness of the red ant king, after all, the other party had a request for him, and he would definitely not harm him at this moment, even if he wanted to do something unfavorable to him, it must be after retrieving the crown, and it was absolutely impossible now, unless the brains of these ant kings were really not civilized.
After wearing the Ice Heart Talisman, Tianwang Mountain was already close at hand, and all the nine ant kings stopped, and the red ant king said with some embarrassment: "Because this was originally a place for the queen ant to cultivate, so in order to prevent us from disturbing, a lot of mechanisms have been set up for our ant king, and we can't go up, everything depends on the two of you." ”
