Chapter 115: Entering the Ant Nest

Luo Zhen dug a snake nest under the sand dune and was lying in it with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he opened his narrow snake eyes.

Because he sensed the breath of Hongyu and the others.

After crawling out of the sand dune, Luo Zhen bent his snake body and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw Hongyu and the others appear in the distance.

"They really rushed out. I thought they would be killed by those poisonous ants." Luo Zhen was surprised.

"Originally, they were going to be killed by the poisonous ants, but at the last critical moment, an accident happened." The voice of the system suddenly sounded.

Luo Zhen was shocked and asked quickly, "What accident happened?"

"Do you still remember the seven human warriors I told you about before?" The system said, "Those seven warriors set up a sword formation and killed people in the desert. The noise was so loud that almost all the black poisonous ants in the desert were attracted."

"It is precisely because of this that Hongyu Yao had no pressure on them, so she took the opportunity to escape."

"I see." Luo Zhen nodded slightly.

At this time, Hongyu and the others also found Luo Zhen and hurried over from a distance.

"Brother Luo, you are waiting for us." Hongyu panted.

"I said I would wait for you, and I will do it." Luo Zhen nodded, and then looked around, only to see that Hongyu and the other four demons were covered in wounds and were very depressed.

"No, I have to rest. The demon power in my body is almost exhausted, and my whole body is sore." The earth rat demon said, and then lay on the ground and gasped.

The remaining Hongyu and others could not hide their fatigue and fell to the ground to rest.

This rest took most of the day.

After most of the day, the demon beasts recovered their strength, and then continued to go to the center of the desert.

They were very careful on the road, but they did not see any poisonous ants blocking the road.

Occasionally, they only encountered three or five poisonous ants, which were easily solved.

"How strange, why didn't the poisonous ants come out to stop us?" Hongyu asked in confusion, "Logically, the closer we get to the center of the desert, the more poisonous ants we will encounter."

"Who knows what happened," said the Sand Scorpion Demon General, "but it's good that no poisonous ants came out, and we saved a lot of effort."

"That's true!"

Hongyu and the others were talking and wondering at the same time, but Luo Zhen roughly guessed why the poisonous ants didn't appear.

It was probably because of the seven human warriors.

Luo Zhen communicated with the system with his mind, "System, did the poisonous ants in the desert go to besiege the seven human warriors?"

"Yes," the system replied, "The sword formation set up by the seven warriors was too powerful, and the movement was too loud, and almost all the poisonous ants in the desert went to besiege them."

"Now, the power guarding the ant nest is very weak, which is good news for you."

"It seems that we still have to thank those human warriors." Luo Zhen laughed and said.

"Thank you, but you have to be fast," the system said, "The seven human warriors are not interested in fighting anymore, and they are also advancing towards the ant nest, and the speed is very fast.

"Well, I know." Luo Zhen nodded slightly.

Luo Zhen and his party kept moving forward until they reached the center of the desert without encountering any decent resistance.

After walking a short distance forward, Hongyu suddenly said, "Look ahead! There is an ant nest ahead!"

The monsters raised their heads and looked forward, and saw that at the end of their sight, there was a very vast earthen city, and huge poisonous ants were going in and out of the city.

"Finally here!" The Sand Scorpion Monster General exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then he began to sense the ground with his heart.

This is one of the abilities of the Sand Scorpion Monster General, he can sense the opponent's strength through the ground.

After a moment, the Sand Scorpion raised his head.

"How is it? "Hongyu asked nervously.

"The defense of this ant nest doesn't seem to be very strong," said the Sand Scorpion Demon General, "I only sensed the breath of five ordinary poisonous ant demon generals, and apart from these poisonous ant demon generals, most of the remaining poisonous ants in the ant nest are worker ants and have no combat capabilities."

"By the way, I also sensed the breath of the queen ant. The queen ant is indeed at the level of the demon king, but she is currently in a sleeping state and will basically not wake up." The Sand Scorpion Demon General added.

"Great! God is helping me!" Hongyu said immediately, "In that case, let's go in now!"

"Okay! "

Hongyu and her group immediately stopped hesitating, and used all their magic power to kill the ant nest.

Not long after entering the ant nest, five poisonous ant demon generals as big as houses stopped Hongyu and her group. These five poisonous ant demon generals were also half-human and half-demon, and their bodies were green, which was very poisonous.

However, Hongyu and Shaxie were not afraid at all. The four of them were also demon generals, and they all had beast fire, which was much more powerful than the poisonous ant demon generals who blocked the way.

After a brief battle, the five poisonous ant demon generals guarding the ant nest were all killed.

The remaining poisonous ants were all worker ants. These worker ants were specialized in work and had no combat power. They just scattered.

"This is too simple. We just took over the ant nest like this?" Hongyu was a little unbelievable, and then she said,

"Forget it, no matter how much, we should first seize the poison crystals!"

Based on her sensitive sense of smell, Hongyu found pieces of poison crystals in the warehouse of the ant nest.

Each of these poison crystals is the size of a table, and they are all emerald green, just like emerald green jade, emitting a different kind of light.

However, the surface of these poison crystals is covered with layers of inscriptions. The existence of the inscriptions makes the poison crystals motionless and cannot be taken away at all.

"These inscriptions are the seals set by the poison ants with their saliva," Hongyu said, "Now everyone spit out the beast fire to melt the seal!"

After finishing speaking, Hongyu took the lead in spitting out the beast fire.

Seeing this, the others did not dare to neglect and spit out their own beast fires.

Under the scorching of the five kinds of beast fires, the seal on the surface of the poison crystals melted quickly. Not long after, the seals of the poison crystals in the entire warehouse were lifted.

"Okay, now everyone put away the beast fire. If it continues to burn, the poison crystals will also be burned." Hongyu said with suppressed excitement.

Hearing this, Luo Zhen and others took back the beast fire.

Hongyu was very excited and quickly found some boxes, put the poison crystals into the boxes, and then swallowed the boxes into her stomach and took them out.

There was nothing that could be done about it.

The monsters had no space-based magic tools to store items, so they could only swallow them and spit them out when they needed them.

Hongyu was busy collecting poison crystals, while the others were idle and started to wander around the warehouse.

This warehouse was the only warehouse in the ant nest, so it was built very large, with all kinds of things piled up inside.

At this time, the system suddenly said to Luo Zhen, "Host, do you see those black iron blocks in front?"

"Black iron blocks?" Luo Zhen swung his snake tail, walked forward, and came to a place where black items were piled up.

"The black iron blocks you are talking about are these things on the ground?" Luo Zhen asked the system.

"Yes, that's it," the system said, "This is a good thing, it's iron essence!"

"Iron essence? What is iron essence?" Luo Zhen asked, spitting out his snake tongue.

"Iron essence is one of the raw materials for refining magic weapons! It is extremely valuable and much more important than poison crystals!" said the system.

"You know about magic weapons, they are much more powerful than magic tools. At least you have to be a demon king to own a magic weapon."

"Iron essence is very expensive and extremely rare. Tens of thousands of pounds of steel can only be refined into iron essence as small as a finger pressure cap!"

After a pause, the system said, "The flying fire poison ant has a natural ability, which is to devour steel and then further compress the essence of steel into iron essence."

"Now there are so many iron essences here, you can take a piece and you will be rich!"
