Chapter 65 - Golden Ant King

Lei Yang saw that the edge of the plain was already in his view, and was extremely happy. Unknowingly, he sped up his pace, but who knew that when he pa.s.sed by a puddle of water, he met a few cultivators fighting fiercely.

It was a small puddle of water about ten Zhang in diameter. It was probably due to the fact that the terrain was relatively low and water was present all year round. In the puddles, there were quite a few aquatic plants and countless moss growing. One could not see the depth of the water in the puddles.

The three cultivators continued to fight while trying to get closer to the puddle under the tree. Moreover, as long as one of them got near, they would be attacked by the other two cultivators. However, as long as they left a certain range of the tree, the three of them would fight on their own, as if they were fighting over something.

After observing for a while, Lei Yang finally saw clearly that there was a blade of gra.s.s growing beside the puddle under the big tree.

Sometimes it turned into a ball of smoke, and sometimes it condensed into a blade of gra.s.s. When it condensed into a blade of gra.s.s, the leaf became like a cloud of mist, and its entire body turned a milky white.

Ever since he was young, he had read a few books on medicine and was able to identify a few spiritual herbs. At this moment, he recognized the strange gra.s.s next to the puddle of water.

Any cultivator who saw a treasure that could allow their cultivation to soar would definitely be moved, and so would Lei Yang. Although he knew that there was definitely danger within, he was still unwilling to leave. Instead, he chose to hide in a safe area, observing from the shadows, and waiting for the right moment to make his move.

The fight between the three cultivators became more and more intense, and the powerful undulations from their techniques could be felt by Lei Yang, even from far away.

Under the big tree, the three of them were each guarding their own positions, forming a stalemate that no one could obtain.

However, this situation was quickly broken. After a short exchange, the three of them probably reached some sort of agreement and each of them stopped fighting. One of the cultivators who was closest to Ning Yan went to pick the tobacco, while the other two stood by to prevent the cultivator who was harvesting the tobacco from taking it for himself.

Each of these ants was the size of a baby's fist and filled with brutality. They were densely packed, and they carried a shocking amount of blood and fiendish aura. They gathered together, forming a frightening red cloud that whistled out in the blink of an eye.

The cultivator didn't even use his brain to think before being sent flying backward. The other two cultivators didn't hesitate at all. Feeling a sense of deadly crisis, they turned and fled.

Lei Yang had heard of those ants before. They were all extremely bloodthirsty and cruel, especially those that specialized in group attacks. They would not rest until they completely devoured their target's flesh and blood.

Even more so, right now, these blood ants were no longer normal Fierce Beasts in the mountain range. They had already become Monstrous Beasts within the huge tomb's Secret Realm, and they even had quite a bit of intelligence.

The three of them fled in different directions. Just as they were about to disappear, a strange scene occurred.

That originally red cloud-like blood ant had suddenly turned into a huge, blood-red bow in the sky. At the same time, it formed into three blood ant arrows made up of countless blood ants. With incredible speed, they shot three arrows in three different directions with a "shua shua" sound.

Wherever it pa.s.sed by, a shrill sonic boom could be heard, especially the astonis.h.i.+ng aura it emitted. It was astonis.h.i.+ng, and could be compared to the powerful fluctuations of a human cultivator in the middle stages of Spiritual Source.

Just as Lei Yang was dumbstruck and overwhelmed with shock, in three different places in the sky, three scarlet blood blossoms flew out at almost the same time. Three miserable screams that sounded like the sound of pigs being butchered resounded, and then, three bodies fell to the ground.

However, they were cultivators of the great circle of the Spiritual Qi. After landing on the ground, despite being seriously injured and extremely weak, they continued to flee at top speed. However, while they were running away, the screams coming out from their mouths did not stop. Instead, they became more shrill.

In front of the tree, the blood ants that had formed the bow earlier had turned into three red clouds the moment the three arrows were shot out. They chased after the red clouds in three different directions.

"Oh my G.o.d!" It can even be like this! " The shock in Lei Yang's heart, had already reached an incomparable degree. He had never thought that ants could be like this … Attack.

The blood ant army pursued, but under the big tree, he seemed to be relatively safe. Who knew where Lei Yang got the courage to do so, but greed suddenly arose in his heart, and he unexpectedly went forward and grabbed the congealed tobacco in his hand. After putting it into his storage ring, he chose a direction and flew towards the edge of the plains.

However, just as he was about to escape, another blood ant flew out from the tree hole.

The body of the blood ant was the size of an adult's fist. It had a pair of wings and a pair of giant pincers at the corner of its mouth.

At that moment, they seemed to be filled with endless anger. A group of eyes the size of beans stared at Lei Yang, within their anxiousness, they seemed exceptionally fierce.

The most important thing was that its body seemed to be cast in gold, its entire body was golden, not in blood, but in gold. The cultivation fluctuations being emitted from its entire body, were actually at the terrifying early stage of Spirit Origin Realm.

Seeing that Lei Yang was about to escape, the Golden Ant King also chased after him in a flash.

The moment the voice came out, it spread throughout the vast plains with a loud sound, as if it struck the air and left layers of invisible ripples. With an extremely strong penetrating force, it entered Lei Yang's ears and immediately disrupted his state of mind.

The sound waves seemed to be not aimed at the human body, specifically attacking one's mind and soul, causing Lei Yang to instantly feel fatigued.

In fact, it was exactly as Lei Yang had expected. The voice did indeed have the ability to attack the soul, but its more important function was to summon its companions.

The moment the voice rang out, on the plains, which were already very far away from this place, the three cultivators, who had despair in their eyes, were waiting for the scythe of the G.o.d of death to reap their souls. However, the blood ants that had covered their bodies, for some unknown reason, suddenly retreated like a tide, charging into the sky.

Even so, they were still in a miserable state. Every one of them had been devoured by these blood ants to a certain extent.

Fortunately, they were experts at the Spiritual Qi great circle, running while defending themselves. Although they were injured to different degrees, they were barely able to hold on. If they were any other cultivators with lower cultivation bases, they would have already become a pile of bones.

The three of them looked at the sky at almost the same time, their eyes were filled with confusion. Even though their bodies had suffered different injuries, their eyes were filled with the happiness of surviving a calamity. After all, there was still hope for them to survive. If his cultivation were to break through, his limbs would regrow, and his flesh and blood would be restored, and everything would be possible.

Compared to the three cultivators who had just narrowly escaped death, Lei Yang, who was running at full speed across the plains, felt so much regret that he almost died.

"My G.o.d, what have I done? What am I doing? " As Lei Yang ran at top speed, he felt the increasingly stronger fluctuations behind him, and he was constantly asking himself questions in the bottom of his heart.

"This is so d.a.m.n much more dangerous than poking a hornet's nest."

The thorns were densely packed, hundreds of them at a time. Each one was filled with incredible power, causing the wind to howl.

The Golden Ant King had an extremely fast speed to begin with. With this stacking speed, it would envelop Lei Yang with its thorns every time it shot them. It had almost stabbed Lei Yang multiple times, severely injuring him.

Lei Yang's heart skipped a beat, and immediately he felt a strong sense of danger.

Fortunately, Lei Yang's Qi Sea was special, providing him with a steady flow of pure spirit energy. With the support of two extreme stepping techniques, his speed had long since surpa.s.sed the normal level of spirit energy, allowing him to barely contend against the large army of blood ants.

Under the pressure of this life and death crisis, the two footwork techniques seemed to complement each other even more as he ran. Even the level of his footwork had also improved. He had a feeling that he was about to break through.

The more he fled, the more he felt the profoundness of this footwork. Sometimes, he could reach extreme speed with the Cloud Piercing Steps, and sometimes, he could use the Flower Piercing b.u.t.terfly Steps to cause his figure to become erratic.

A day later, when Lei Yang finally made his way through a patch of forest, and just as he was about to escape from the plains, the Blood Ant Army behind him suddenly became abnormally furious for some reason.

Amidst the irritation, the entire Blood Ants army transformed into a gigantic humanoid shape, one formed from countless blood ants ….
