Chapter 52: The Ant Tide
The bewildered white worm finally understood the meaning of its master, and let it sleep in the stomachs of countless ants, and was not eaten by ants.
"I'm a candle dragon, not a bug! A few days ago, that kind of elixir residue, if I eat a few dozen pills, I should be able to become a first-level demon beast, what do you old man command, Qianhao will never give up!"
The white worm stood up and nodded repeatedly, like a loyal servant, with a solemn expression.
Bai Yi took out the remaining dozens of Tongmai Pills, and said angrily: "Hurry up and eat, the ant colony will come early in the morning, and when the queen ant appears, you haven't advanced to the first-level demon beast, so wait to feed the ants." ”
"I eat I eat, hehe. The white worm smiled and retracted into his clothes, holding a bottle of Tongmai Dan and nibbling on it.
For the ruffianism of the candle flame, Bai Yi has a headache, but there is nothing he can do, it is a young candle dragon, so he can't really throw it away.
The advancement of the candle dragon, similar to other demon beasts, requires absorbing a large amount of heaven and earth aura or eating countless cherished spirit grasses, but fortunately, the candle dragon, a desolate alien species with the blood of a true dragon, has a special ability, that is, devouring.
The more spirit grass elixir devoured, the faster the speed of the candle dragon's advancement, and after reaching a certain level, the candle dragon could directly devour other demon beasts and even cultivators, using it as a great tonic pill.
The former demon king candle dragon, I don't know how many powerful demon beasts and cultivators have devoured, don't look at the current appearance of white and fat, it looks harmless to humans and animals, and it is also obscene, but once this white worm grows up, it is a terrifying beast of eternity!
As the sky gradually dawned, almost every red wind grass in the wind grass garden produced flower buds, and then slowly bloomed.
One or two red wind grasses, the smell is not obvious, now that the spirit grass in the garden is blooming, the fishy smell spreads like the sea breeze, and it can float out for miles when it is blown by the wind.
Jiang Dachuan and Gao Ren were awakened by this strange smell, and hurriedly ran out of the wooden house, without waiting for the two to speak, Bai Yi, who was sitting in front of the medicine garden, suddenly whispered: "It's here!"
Rustle!
In the ancient forest outside the medicine garden, there was a slight rustling sound, like footsteps, and like the wind sweeping the leaves, undulating endlessly, through the faint light of the sky, it can be roughly seen that the ground in the depths of the ancient forest is slowly wriggling, like the strange waves of the sand sea, gradually approaching.
"W-What is that!" Jiang Dachuan vaguely saw the ground squirming in the distance, and asked tremblingly.
"It can't be a large patch of ants!" Gao Ren also muttered to himself in horror.
Bai Yi was still sitting cross-legged in place, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Just let out the aura, don't use the sword." ”
"Hey!"
"Good!"
The two of them responded separately and sat on both sides of Bai Yi, dissipating the aura in their bodies, and the fluctuations of the aura of the three of them could block one side of the medicine garden.
The ants attracted by the red wind grass are all from outside the mountain, and the ants in the sect have lived here for a long time, and they can sense the spiritual energy of the cultivators all year round, even if they know that the red wind grass is ripe, they don't dare to act rashly, and the three of them just need to guard the side of the medicine garden facing the outside of the sect.
As the sky became brighter and brighter, the morning sun slowly rose, and a few soft rays of sunlight shone into the ancient forest through the shade of the trees, and finally illuminated the army of thousands of ants on the ground of the ancient forest.
These ants attracted by the red wind grass, and the ordinary ants that ordinary people have seen, each of them is the size of a fingernail, the whole body is dark, and the crawling speed is very fast, Jiang Dachuan and Gao Renqing clearly saw that there was an old tree that broke and collapsed, because it blocked the army of ants, it was silently held up, and followed the ants forward, like a tree trunk floating in the river.
The broken tree weighed at least a thousand catties, and it was easily lifted up and carried forward together, how powerful these ants were, I am afraid that even a team of a hundred mortal soldiers could be easily dispersed by these ants.
Jiang Dachuan swallowed and foamed, feeling as if something was blocking his throat, and when the ant army came closer, after he saw the size of those ants, his scalp suddenly went numb.
Gao Ren simply ignored these terrifying ant colonies, and closed his eyes and tried to mobilize the faint aura in his body.
When the ant colony marched three feet away from the medicine garden, it immediately felt the fluctuation of the aura, and stopped as if it had hit a transparent wall.
The ants in front were impatiently crawling in place but did not dare to step forward, and the ant colony in the back followed one after another, actually crawling directly onto the body of the same kind, and it didn't take long for a black terrifying ant wall to appear in front of Bai Yi and the three of them, almost a foot high, constantly rolling and wriggling.
While slowly exuding spiritual energy, Bai Yi took out two low-level spirit stones, threw them to Jiang Dachuan and Gao Ren, and said in a deep voice: "Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, use the spirit stone to recover." ”
After receiving the low-level spirit stone, Jiang Dachuan suddenly had a backbone, if these ants were at this level, there was a low-level spirit stone, which was enough for him to consume for three days.
Jiang Dachuan, who was relaxed for a while, looked at the wriggling ant wall in front of him, only to feel that his stomach was overturned, and he almost didn't vomit, so he immediately closed his eyes and honestly urged the aura.
Looking at the ant wall in front of him, Bai Yi's expression was solemn, and he also pinched a low-level spirit stone in his hand.
The red wind grass has just bloomed, and the smell has not drifted too far, so it has attracted so many ants, although these ants are larger than ordinary ants, but they are also ordinary ants in the forest, as long as they do not startle them with a sword, these ants will not be irritable, but once a long time has attracted other fierce species of ants, it will be troublesome.
There are countless strange insects and beasts in the world, there are no less than a hundred kinds of ants that Bai Yi knows, and there are even ant colonies that have reached the realm of demon beasts in other large domains, that kind of terrifying demon beast ant colony, each ant is a real demon beast with a level, one can kill a monk in the Qi refining period, millions of them gather together, and wherever they pass, even a country can be destroyed in an instant.
The area of the blue sky is vast, and there are many demon beasts, but there will definitely be no swarm of demon beast ant tides, if there is only an ordinary ant army, it should not be difficult for the three of them to hold on for three days, for fear of appearing an ant queen who has reached the level of demon beasts.
Since the early morning, the confrontation between the three of them and the ant army has lasted for a day, the fishy smell of the red wind grass is getting stronger and stronger, and being in the medicine garden is like being on the seaside, fortunately, those black ants are just ordinary ants, and they are always afraid of the aura of the cultivators, and they have been wandering outside the medicine garden, not daring to approach.
A day's aura urging was already very tiring for cultivators in the Qi refining period, Jiang Dachuan and Gao Ren had already begun to recover with spirit stones, and Bai Yi did not absorb the spiritual energy on the spirit stones until the early morning of the next day.
It's not that the cultivation is much higher than the two, but that Bai Yi's experience in controlling the aura is much higher than that of the two, and the consumption is naturally the least.
At this time, Jiang Dachuan was no longer very afraid, and began to mutter: "There is this spirit stone from my uncle, it is enough for me to hold on for three days, and when the time comes, I will complete the task of the Wind Grass Garden, and the reward will not be less, how can it be more than ten spirit stones, according to this calculation, this kind of task is a sure profit." ”
Saying that, Jiang Dachuan couldn't help but feel very good, if he often received this kind of task in the future, wouldn't it be a good way to make a fortune, and when the time came, he would have to change his senior sister to be a lady.
Jiang Dachuan, who was in a good mood, shook his head and calculated how many spirit stones he needed to get the favor of his senior sister, and inadvertently glanced at the ant wall opposite, it didn't matter to him, he was almost scared out of the sky!
