C46 Intellectual ant colony
"BOOM!" The zigzag seal landed on the ground, causing the ground to shake and produce a dull sound, which was as strong as an earthquake.
The power was like a small mountain slamming onto the ground. If the viper still did not die, then there was nothing left to do, all three of them would accept their fate.
Mei Zhiruo and Zhen Xuetian were dumbstruck. The two of them did not know that Ye Feng still had such a powerful treasure, and they thought to themselves that if the zigzag seal were to smash onto their heads, their flesh and blood would probably shatter into pieces.
Calming down their slightly fearful moods, Ye Feng retrieved her zigzag seal and the three looked towards the deep pit where the zigzag seal had fallen.
The ground was smashed so hard that the ground had fallen down by at least ten meters. The deep hole was square, the edges were as smooth as a knife or an axe, the bottom was as smooth as a mirror, the power of the heavy sword was terrifying.
On the smooth surface of the ground, there was a curved mark, which was covered by a paper-thin scale, and was surrounded by blood.
The viper was dead beyond dead, not even its corpse was left intact.
"Hu!" The three of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. The first crisis they had faced upon entering the great plains passed by just like that, a sense of danger but not a danger. The great plains were filled with danger from every possible angle, and any carelessness would forever leave this place, turning this place into the most fertile part of the soil.
Calming himself down, Ye Feng looked at the corpse left behind by the viper. It could not be considered as a corpse, under the strong impact, the flesh and scales of the viper were completely separated, leaving only a thin piece of skin on the ground.
The spirit beast's entire body was filled with treasures. Once this zigzag seal was used, it would disappear into thin air. It seemed like it would be best to not use it in the future.
Unreconciled, Ye Feng jumped into the pit, carefully checked around, and searched for anything of value.
To his disappointment, even the Spirit Beast's Inner Core had been smashed apart by the zigzag seal's powerful attack, leaving him with no value at all.
Eh, this snake's skin isn't bad. Even under such a powerful collision, it was still able to remain intact.
Ye Feng ecstatically lifted the skin of the viper off the ground and jumped out of the deep pit.
"This hide is not bad, and its defensive power is extremely strong. Perhaps it can be refined into an inner armor. If you wear it on your body, you might be able to block an attack." Ye Feng proudly showed off to the two girls.
"I don't want it. It's so bloody." Zhen Xuetian said as he covered his nose.
Mei Zhiruo also shook her head. If they did not encounter the viper, if they did not see how fierce the viper was, or how it looked like when it died in the end, the two girls might still be able to accept that.
"Good treasures, you all don't like them. I cannot waste any of it. If I have the time to make a set of underwear, I would be invulnerable to weapons." Ye Feng kept the viper's skin into the storage bag.
In order to avoid any further danger, the three of them sat on the ground to rest for a while. After calming down, they adjusted their bodies and continued moving forward.
It was almost noon, but the fog had no intention of dissipating. It was still covering over everyone.
"Look, what's that?" Zhen Xuetian was the first to notice a black shadow appearing in front of him. Then, Mei Zhiruo and Ye Feng noticed that something was wrong in front of them.
Judging from the shadow's size, it was about the same as a human's, but its length far exceeded a human's. As the shadow approached, a closer inspection revealed that it was a huge ant the size of a small pot. If the ant walked upright, it would be no taller than two stories.
What is this? A mutated ant? Ye Feng was suddenly speechless.
The giant ants crawled very quickly and arrived in front of the trio in the blink of an eye. They waved their two giant pincers, and the tentacles that were as thick as an arm swung above their heads.
"What should we do?" Mei Zhiruo asked Ye Feng. The three of them were led by Ye Feng, so they naturally had to seek his opinion on whatever situation they encounter.
"Fuck it." Ye Feng bluntly said, "It seems like this guy is here for us. Then, we don't have to be polite and just kill it." Staring at the giant ant, Ye Feng fiercely said.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhen Xuetian did not hesitate at all and directed his flying sword towards the ant. Just now, in the battle against the viper, the flying sword ant had played any role.
"Pfft!" As the flying sword streaked past, the giant ant was sliced in half by Zhen Xuetian's flying sword.
"Yay!" Zhen Xuetian excitedly stomped her feet, finally releasing the anger in her chest.
"Whoosh!" The ant fell to the ground, its head still charging towards Zhen Xuetian. Its tail was spinning on the ground because it had lost its direction.
Zhen Xuetian was startled, what was going on? She had clearly cut off the ant, why did she not die?
Just as Ant was about to arrive in front of Zhen Xuetian, he shouted, "Kang!" Mei Zhiruo commanded her flying sword to split the half of the ant from its head to the back.
"Pa ji." The ants that were split in half fell to the left and right, and a wave of disgusting liquid flowed all over the ground.
Looking at Zhen Xuetian who had collapsed in front of him, she took a long time to regain her senses, and asked puzzledly: "Why is this big ant so powerful?
Ye Feng smiled at Zhen Xuetian, "This is an ability unique to insects, there's nothing strange about it."
"Oh, so it's like that." Mei Zhiruo also understood.
"This is bad!" Ye Feng, who was still boasting about his primary school knowledge, suddenly had a drastic change in expression.
Zhen Xuetian and Mei Zhiruo looked towards the direction of Ye Feng's shout and were stunned.
The direction from which the ants had died was overwhelming. A black mass of shadows rolled towards the three of them like a dark cloud.
Ant Legion!
Run? Too late. Judging from the ant's speed, the three of them definitely wouldn't be able to escape. There were too many. It was unknown whether it was thousands or tens of thousands, or perhaps even hundreds of thousands of ants.
If they were to fight, even without the ants, they would be exhausted and the three of them would be dead.
"Why are there so many ants?" It had to be said that Zhen Xuetian truly had the desire to learn, and was still discussing such a problem.
"The ants have a special way of communication. They can leave their presence on the way. The ants in the distance know everything from their aura. Only then will they come to us." Ye Feng continued to show off.
He discovered that this world was truly not ordinary. Everyone was researching cultivation techniques, so no one had studied these natural sciences.
Mei Zhiruo looked at Ye Feng, and thought to herself, I never thought that Ye Feng would really know so much.
"Cousin, what do we do now?" Zhen Xuetian trusted Ye Feng extremely. Even if danger came, with Ye Feng, it seemed like they would be able to get through it safely.
"What else can we do? We have to run, could it be that we are feeding ants here?" After saying that, Ye Feng quickly took out the Cranes and threw in a few crystals. He then waved his hand towards the two women, "Go up."
The three of them jumped onto the crane. The crane let out a long cry and flew into the sky.
"I told you to bully others with your numbers." Zhen Xuetian rode on his crane and excitedly commanded his flying sword to attack the ants.
"Fly if you can. Let's see who bullies who this time." Zhen Xuetian killed the ants proudly.
"Cousin, please don't speak nonsense. Look at what happened then." Ye Feng pointed at the air in front.
A flock of winged ants flew towards the three of them.
"Not bad, the ant is big enough, how can it fly?" Zhen Xuetian's face turned green, she could not believe her eyes.
"Actually, ants can also fly. It's just that they can only fly at a specific time. Most of the time, it's the season of reproduction. Perhaps our luck is bad and we made it." Ye Feng said helplessly.
"Then what should we do?" Mei Zhiruo also lost her usual calm, thinking that flying in the air was enough, but who knew that she would encounter an ant breeding and a large group of ants descending, this was simply too unlucky.
"Give it our all! If we kill even one of them, we'll make a profit. At worst, we'll just die together!" Zhen Xuetian stared at the approaching flying ants.
"Don't panic, just watch me." Ye Feng said casually.
The two girls were very curious, under such a situation, how could Ye Feng maintain his calm? Could it be that Ye Feng had some method to break the flying ants' defense?
He then took out a handful of talisman paper, looked at it, picked out a few, and threw them towards the sky above the flying ant.
The two girls stared at Ye Feng. They didn't know what he had in mind.
"Hu!" The symbol paper turned into dark clouds in the sky.
knew that this was a cloud talisman, and had even seen Ye Feng use it before. Later on, Ye Feng wanted his help to complete the mission, but who knew that it would be thrown around randomly by Fei Fei, ruining Ye Feng's good fortune. did not know why Ye Feng threw out the cloud talisman, but could it be that the flying ants were afraid of dark clouds, which was something that Mei Zhiruo had never heard of.
Seeing that the clouds had formed, Ye Feng threw out the Falling Rain Glyph and instantly, a heavy rain poured down.
The rain fell on the wings of the flying ants, and not long after, the flying ants became much slower. Their transparent wings seemed to be imbued with a heavy burden, and flapping them was very strenuous.
"Pah!" A flying ant landed on the ground.
With the first one, there would be a second one, and a third one.
The flying ants that filled the sky followed the rain and fell to the ground. In a few breaths, all the approaching ants fell to the ground, struggling desperately in the puddles.
"Cousin is awesome!" Zhen Xuetian shouted loudly. There was no need to mention the happiness in her heart, she had originally thought that it would be a fierce battle.
Mei Zhiruo stared at Ye Feng without blinking, she really could not see through the little junior brother in front of her. He was clearly only fifteen, yet he seemed to have experienced many things, and many things were not worth being troubled over, and what was even weirder, was that Ye Feng actually grasped a principle that many cultivators could not understand, for example, his understanding towards these ants.
Seeing that the danger was over, Ye Feng urged the crane forward.
Along the way, all the ants that could be used as food had been wiped out, leaving not even a single blade of grass behind.
There were even some huge bones scattered on the ground. From their novelty, they had all been killed by ants not long ago.
The two girls shuddered at the same time. There was no lack of human cultivators' remains among the bones.
Mei Zhiruo also felt lucky to be able to travel with Ye Feng this time. Not to mention the others, just this group of ants would cause him to lose his life.
With the red-crowned crane at his side, he managed to avoid a lot of danger on the ground, so his speed was very fast.
A shadow that covered the sky and covered the sky appeared from afar. As the three of them looked up, a mountain peak suddenly appeared on the great plain.
Ye Feng urged the crane to fly towards the peak.
