Chapter 120: Golden-winged Fire Ants
As soon as he entered the other end of the prohibition, Zhao Di sacrificed two medium-grade defensive spirit tools, one in front of the other to protect himself, and at the same time exerted some mixed yuan qi, wrapping himself in it, forming another defense.
I don't know how long this passage is, his divine sense can only sense dozens of zhang away at this time, which makes him very unaccustomed to it.
He walked at a normal pace, about half an hour, and finally there was some change in the passage.
An underground cave the size of a thousand zhang appeared in front of him, and under the illumination of the moonstone, Zhao Di saw that there were many shiny flying insects in the cave, flying around on the top of the cave dozens of zhang high.
"Golden-winged fire ants!"
When one of the shiny flying insects flew not far in front of Zhao Di, Zhao Di immediately recognized the origin of this insect.
Although the Golden-winged Fire Ant is only a first-level high-level insect demon beast, it will highlight a cloud of golden flames to attack the enemy, and its strength is equivalent to the level of a monk above the tenth level in the Qi Refining Period, but it is known for its large number and large numbers.
In the Sea of Stars, this golden-winged fire ant is also common, and it often causes great damage to tens of thousands of people every time it appears. Unless it is a monk above the Dan stage, the average monk will have a headache when encountering it, and there are not a few who even die in the ant's mouth.
Now in this cave, Zhao Di roughly estimated that there were no less than a thousand.
There are more than 1,000 golden-winged fire ants, and each fire ant only needs to highlight a golden flame to merge into a golden sea of fire.
However, this golden-winged fire ant is not a particularly ferocious insect monster, and if it doesn't take the initiative to provoke, it is unlikely to attract group attacks.
After all, after the golden-winged fire ant spits out the golden flame, it will take several years of cultivation to recover slightly, but it has never been able to recover completely.
And in a lifetime, this golden-winged fire ant can only spit out flames three times, and then it will die with a whimper.
However, ant monsters are extremely fecund, and often die in one batch, and hatch more batches.
The golden-winged fire ants in this cave are not known to be a group of ants deliberately left by the original owner of the cave that hatched over an unknown number of years, or whether they were formed by drilling here from elsewhere and unintentionally.
No matter what was going on, Zhao Di didn't want to disturb them.
But it was a great pity that Zhao Di found that at the only passage on the opposite side of the cave, there was a group of golden-winged fire ants hovering here.
He waited patiently for two hours, but the fire ants still had no intention of leaving the passageway.
It seems that in order to enter that passage, you have to alarm the fire ants. Now I have to fight!
Since you have to fight, you must fight quickly, take advantage of their unpreparedness, and take the lead in destroying more than half, otherwise when these fire ants gather golden flames to attack, it will become extremely difficult to defend.
So Zhao Di's sleeve robe shook slightly, and more than a dozen puppets stood beside him with bows, while he also held the Blazing Sky Blade with both hands.
"Die!" Zhao Di shouted, raised the Blazing Sky Blade and slashed down in one fell swoop, and a one-horned fire dragon more than ten zhang long burst out of the blade, carrying a wave of heat over the densest place of the Golden-winged Fire Ants and swept away.
At the same time, the puppets also pulled their bowstrings, and a dense attack hit the fire ants.
Hundreds of golden-winged fire ants were swept into the fire and turned into ashes by this fire dragon before they could instinctively spit out golden flames, and many fire ants were killed by the puppet's intensive attacks, or spewed golden flames to resist.
Once this fire ant spews out a golden flame, it will lose its attack power in a short period of time, and it is completely inadequate.
In this way, it seems that Zhao Di has wiped out half of the golden-winged fire ants in one round.
Without waiting for the Golden-winged Fire Ant Organization to fight back, Zhao Di immediately swung the Blazing Sky Blade again. A one-horned fire dragon pounced again with its teeth and claws.
But the Golden-winged Fire Ant was not slow to react, and immediately an astonishing number of golden flames flew out from all parts of the cave and flew towards the fire dragon.
Before the fire dragon could kill more golden-winged fire ants, it was consumed by a large amount of golden flames and lost its power, turning into a little spiritual light and disappearing.
It seems that the number of fire ants is far above Zhao Di's estimate.
There were also a lot of golden flames spewing out, and they were all towards a certain place, and soon formed a golden fireball several feet in size.
The golden fireball slowly flew towards Zhao Di, and before he could get close, Zhao Di had already felt a burst of high temperature coming.
Zhao Di hurriedly swung out the third sword, and at the same time, he also gave the puppet who was constantly attacking the fire ants an order to change the target of the attack to a golden fireball.
With Zhao Di's swing of the knife, the one-horned fire dragon flew out of the Blazing Sky Blade, opened its brazier mouth, and bit the golden fireball in its mouth.
The fire dragon couldn't bite the golden fireball in one bite, and the golden fireball couldn't defeat the fire dragon, and a stalemate suddenly formed.
It's just that the inch-sized flames in the cave continue to erupt into the golden fireball, and the fireball is getting bigger and bigger, and it may destroy the fire dragon at any time.
The puppet's attacks were densely packed on top of the golden fireballs, but most of them were blocked by the heat wave generated by the golden fireballs before they could get close, making it difficult to form a real threat.
Zhao Di gathered a large amount of spiritual power and slashed out the Blazing Sky Blade with all his strength again. Large expanses of fire flew out from the Blazing Sky Blade and went straight into the one-horned fire dragon.
The fire dragon instantly became larger and longer, and actually swallowed the golden fireball into its stomach in one gulp.
A moment later, a violently fluctuating heat wave, as the explosion spread, the fire dragon and the golden fireball disappeared together.
It's just that the remaining golden-winged fire ants that still have attack power are not many and pose no threat to Zhao Di, and under the cover of the two shields, he calmly put away the puppet and the blazing blade, passed through the cave, and entered another passage.
It didn't take long for Zhao Di to clearly feel that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower.
After walking for less than a few miles, even if he was an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, he could clearly feel the biting cold. If a mortal were here, I am afraid that it would be frozen into ice in less than half an hour.
Zhao Di pasted seven or eight Fire Cloud Cover talismans on his body in one go, and then he felt better.
But it didn't take long for the power of the Fire Cloud Cover to be quickly consumed, and he had to put up a few more.
Walked out of Li Xu again, under the protection of the fire cloud cover, Zhao Di still felt a chill, as long as he spent some mana, he used mixed energy to protect his body.
This move was obviously more effective than the fire cloud cover, and Zhao Di walked out of two or three miles, and came to a cave surrounded by blue ice ridges.
The cave is not high or wide, and it is only hundreds of zhang long, but the temperature is extremely low, and it exudes a light blue cold. The Qi Refining Period cultivator was afraid that he would not be able to stay in this cold air for a few breaths, and he would freeze to death.
And the purple qi that protected Zhao Di, under the invasion of this cold qi, also consumed great spiritual power.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that before he gets out of the cave, he will run out of spiritual power and freeze into an ice sculpture.
Zhao Di took out a few high-grade spirit stones and slowly absorbed the spiritual power in them.
Zhao Di was very puzzled, what kind of intention did this ancient female cultivator have, first it was a group of golden-winged fire ants, and it was an extremely cold road, if it weren't for the fact that he had high-grade spirit stones and high-grade spirit tools, ordinary foundation building period monks were afraid that they would not be able to complete this passage at all, and they would have to return halfway.
Isn't this ancient female cultivator a woman's cultivation method, why do you have to let the male cultivator take it, and she still makes it difficult in every possible way! Zhao Di couldn't figure it out.
"Forget it, a woman's mind, like the success rate of alchemy, is a very variable thing. Zhao Di thought of this, so he didn't continue to ponder.
At this time, he had already walked to the middle of the cave, and the purple qi was consumed extremely quickly by the blue cold qi, and Zhao Di felt a little like his spiritual power couldn't keep up.
He unleashed the Blazing Blade again, slashing out a fiery dragon that surrounded him, resisting the slightest hint of cold. In this way, the consumption of purple qi was much less, and Zhao Di's spiritual power supply was also at ease.
Zhao Di exhaled lightly and continued to walk briskly.
As he passed through the coldest place, that is, the very center of the cave, suddenly, the spirit beast bag on his waist squirmed a few times, and the spirit beast Ice Wind Snake, which was connected to his mind, transmitted some information to his divine consciousness.
Zhao Di was overjoyed and stopped.
Unexpectedly, this extremely cold road that made it difficult for him would be of great use to him!
