C2288 Ant Emperor!
C2288 Ant Emperor!
Hong Yifeng could not help but feel a little excited. Since Wan Chengfeng knew the way out, the chances of him leaving this place would be greatly increased. The rest would depend on Jiang Fann.
After Jiang Fann recovered his Spiritual Strength, he once again tried to assimilate the power of the barrier. Although it was very difficult to completely assimilate the Spiritual Strength above, Jiang Fann was very clear about how much he could control. As long as he could suppress it, it would be enough.
Xiao Ai and Lin Zhan had also fused into the formation where the barrier was located. However, they only endured for a while before returning to Jiang Fann's body. The pressure brought by the great formation made it difficult for them to persist. At the same time, it also proved that this was not just a great formation. This had already formed its own rules. The rules of a small world. Unless Jiang Fann's ability could resist the power of the barrier, the two Formation Spirits alone would not be able to maintain this place.
As for which expert had set up this formation back then, Jiang Fann did not care about it. After all, this guy was not someone he needed to consider now. There probably were not many people in the Upper Nine Heavens who could be found. At least, he would not have any interaction with him now.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Jiang Fann had recovered a few times and assimilated a few times. Finally, he stopped.
The last time he assimilated the Spiritual Strength, he discovered that it was very difficult for him to continue increasing the strength of the Spiritual Strength he assimilated. Combined with his understanding of the formation and Xiao Ai's understanding of the great formation, he had already created a strange formation in his mind. This formation was clearly just a prototype, but it could perfectly operate the Spiritual Strength he had assimilated. This was enough, and it was not impossible to continue improving it. However, it was very likely that it would destroy the special Spiritual Strength that he originally had. It was very difficult to predict whether or not the black-armored ant would still be effective.
Without saying much, Jiang Fann retracted the Spiritual Strength and suppressed it in his body. Finally, he gathered the Spiritual Strength in his palm through his meridians, trying his best to compress the Spiritual Strength, making it stronger and more concentrated.
After all, he was used to face the enemy, not a barrier.
When Wan Chengfeng saw Jiang Fann's actions, he felt a myriad of emotions in his heart. He naturally understood what it meant.
Thus, he stood up and walked to Jiang Fann's side.
"Let me feel the Spiritual Strength in your palm."
Jiang Fann did not hide anything and directly released the special Spiritual Strength. Then, as his Spiritual Strength was injected, the aura of the Spiritual Strength quickly rose, causing Wan Chengfeng's eyes to light up.
"Interesting, it has indeed assimilated to a superficial level. I wonder if it will have any effect on the Black Armored Ant."
Jiang Fann smiled and said, "Whether it will have any effect or not, you will know once you try."
After saying that, without any hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the cave. Soon, he passed through the barrier and disappeared from the sight of the two.
After a few minutes, Jiang Fann appeared again. This time, he was dragging a huge Black Armored Ant and came in front of the barrier. Jiang Fann put it into the Hundred Treasures Bag and then passed through the barrier.
After arriving in front of the two, he took out the Black Armored Ant from the Hundred Treasures Bag. On the armor-like scales of the Black Armored Ant, there was a palm-shaped hole. It was left by Jiang Fann. When the flesh and blood inside completely dissolved, it could be seen how effective it was.
Wan Chengfeng gave Jiang Fann a thumbs up. "It seems that the effect is better than I imagined. However, these ants with no intelligence are incomparable to the ant queen's personal soldiers. If you encounter them, it's best to avoid them. It's best not to come into direct contact with them. After all, your life is the most important."
Jiang Fann smiled and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get the tiger cub? I will definitely get this Universal Soil."
Jiang Fann was obviously very confident in himself. After all, he was the only one who knew his own combat strength. He believed that it was definitely not a problem for him to protect himself.
Wan Chengfeng was obviously still very worried. After all, he also wanted to borrow Jiang Fann's strength to leave this place. He had already stayed in this ghostly place for too long.
"If you really need the Universal Soil, there's actually another way. You don't necessarily need to risk your life here."
Hearing his words, Jiang Fann could not help but feel a little curious.
"Senior, do you know any other way to obtain it?"
Wan Chengfeng nodded his head, then smiled and said, "As long as you help me leave this ant nest, when I return to the Immortal Valley, I'll go to the Treasure Tower and steal some for you. It will definitely be much easier than this place…"
"..."
Jiang Fann did not expect Wan Chengfeng to say that. However, he understood what he meant. He just did not want him to take the risk.
However, he noticed that Wan Chengfeng was completely different from when they first met. Although he was still dirty and disheveled, his eyes had a bit more spirit. Clearly, after he had a hope of leaving this place, he was also adjusting his condition.
When he was young, he had been trapped here for more than two hundred years. Jiang Fann admired him for being able to maintain such a state.
"Senior, don't worry. Ants' nest won't be able to hold me. You can wait here in peace."
After saying that, Jiang Fann did not stay any longer. He turned around and walked out of the cave. Hong Yifeng staying here would only help him. He no longer had to worry. After all, no one would be able to reveal anything to him.
"Be careful along the way."
Seeing Jiang Fann disappear, Wan Chengfeng said helplessly, "This kid is very reliable, right?"
Hong Yifeng nodded his head. "At least during this period of contact, he has done what he said. He has already left. Senior, you should just wait here in peace."
At this moment, Hong Yifeng also had his own plans. He could not stay here forever. If Jiang Fann really could not return, he had to convince Wan Chengfeng to take him away. After all, he still had a high-quality Ant Avoiding Pill on him. However, since Jiang Fann had protected him all the way, it was not good for him to leave Jiang Fann here. Therefore, he planned to wait for a few days. If Jiang Fann did not appear, he would discuss with Wan Chengfeng.
On the other side, after Jiang Fann left the cave, he suppressed his aura and cooperated with the Ant Avoiding Pill to increase his speed as much as possible.
Although those huge soldier ants could vaguely sense his aura, they were unable to lock onto him. In addition, Jiang Fann's speed of using the Body Arts was not slow, and he could almost ignore those big guys.
Jiang Fann did not waste any time and continued to speed up his footsteps. Soon, he arrived at the place that Wan Chengfeng had mentioned. Sure enough, he saw some soldier ants moving the black-armored ant eggs. They moved in an orderly manner and kept moving.
Jiang Fann suppressed his aura and followed them. After following them for about a hundred meters, he arrived at a huge underground cavern. Inside the cavern, there were black-armored ant eggs densely arranged. Some newly hatched black-armored ants were eating the corpses of a demonic beast. The black-armored ants were growing at a visible speed. Soon, they grew into different species. Some soldier ants, some worker ants, and some were directly carried away by the soldier ants. Obviously, they had already been separated into different species after they were born.
In this underground cavern, there were two tall humanoid black-armored ants patrolling the black-armored ant eggs. Both of them had reached the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage, which was also the position of the soldier ant queen that Wan Chengfeng had mentioned.
After Jiang Fann recorded this location, he went in the opposite direction to search for the location of the soldier ant queen. After all, there was Universal Soil there. No matter how dangerous it was, he planned to take a risk.
There were quite a few soldier ant queens, but Jiang Fann would try his best to avoid them. He did not want to be discovered too early. Without Hong Yifeng, Jiang Fann was able to use the Earth Escape Technique more easily. Soon, he found the source of the black-armored ant eggs being moved. There were more than a dozen humanoid black-armored ants guarding the entrance quietly.
Jiang Fann tried to sneak into the cave using the Earth Escape Technique, but he discovered that a powerful Spiritual Strength was emitting from the entrance of the cave, blocking his path.
He tried to dive in, but he soon discovered that the range of the Spiritual Strength was astonishingly large. Furthermore, it was in the shape of a huge ball, and he could not go around it at all. He could only try to break through it.
He carefully tried to come into contact with it, but he discovered that this was not the power released by some kind of formation, but the Spiritual Strength barrier released by some kind of life. The moment he tried to probe, it reacted and wrapped around him. He quickly retreated and avoided the Spiritual Strength's binding, then quickly suppressed his own heart, not daring to be careless at all.
At the same time, in the cave above, a handsome man frowned.
"What is it?"
Beside him, there was a woman with a fiery upper body and an ant-like lower body. It was none other than the absolute ruler of this ant nest, the Ant Queen.
She lazily opened her eyes. "What is it?"
"Something seems to have broken in. I can feel an unknown fluctuation in my Spiritual Strength barrier, but I can't lock onto the other party. However, the location he is at is a bit strange, deep underground."
The Ant Queen said calmly, "Could it be an earthquake? This is our world, how could any life dare to break in?"
"It doesn't seem like an earthquake. Let me sense it again. I heard that two Human Boy have entered this area and are trapped in that little brat's cave. Could it be them? I'll let my subordinates go and take a look."
The Ant Queen smiled and said, "Human Clan brats, what kind of storm can they create? Even if that brat steps into the Rebirth State, he can only escape. Moreover, coming here, it won't be so easy to run. The exit has already been arranged with so many personal guards, enough to temporarily stop him. At that time, you will personally capture him for me, and I will swallow him alive! You know that I hate humans the most..."
This handsome man was none other than the second ruler of the ant nest, the Ant Queen.
Rather than calling him the Ant Queen, his identity was actually the strongest among the Ant Queen's personal guards. He had already reached the Rebirth State and was almost always guarding by the Ant Queen's side.
He continuously expanded the Spiritual Strength he released, wanting to see what was going on. Unfortunately, Jiang Fann had already left the range of his Spiritual Strength.
Jiang Fann had already sensed the strength of this Spiritual Strength. It was definitely from a Rebirth State expert. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sensed his position in an instant and reacted in such a way.
Jiang Fann had already returned to the tunnel and found a concealed place to stop. He observed the entrance of the cave from afar.
He quickly discovered that two Ant Queen personal guards were running away. It seemed that they were going to investigate something.
"The strength of the Spiritual Strength just now, it seems to be one of the Ant Queen or the Ant Emperor."
