Chapter 760 Gold-Eating Ants

Song Wen's spiritual consciousness extended towards both ends of the cave.

Suddenly, the scene in the cave came into his mind.

A few miles to the right, the cave gradually begins to narrow. After only a few miles, there is the end of the cave, where is the stone wall.

To the left, the cave extends continuously with no end in sight.

After ten miles, spiritual consciousness will no longer be able to perceive.

The cave here has a certain suppression on spiritual consciousness, mainly because the spiritual energy here is too strong, which is the only thing Song Wen has seen in his life.

When the spiritual energy is too strong, it will also interfere with the perception of spiritual consciousness, but it is not as serious as corpse energy and ghost energy.

Therefore, Xue Mei said that this is the 'Orchid Realm', where the Divine Blood Sect cultivates rare and rare treasures. It is somewhat credible, and it is not like he is targeting nothing.

The two of them did not give up searching for the cave on the right just relying on their spiritual perception. Some heavenly materials and earthly treasures will emit strange spiritual energy fluctuations, which will invalidate spiritual perception and make it impossible to perceive them, just like a hidden formation.

Therefore, the two decided to search the cave on the right first.

Nothing was found on the right side, so the two returned to the starting point and searched to the left.

The two searched for more than ten miles, but found no treasure. However, there was a sudden violent fluctuation of spiritual power in front of them.

Obviously, there are people or monsters fighting in front of them.

"Is there anyone else here? Or are there monsters here? Is it the spiritual energy fluctuation caused by the battle between monsters?"

The two looked at each other, their expressions becoming a little more wary.

Trying to control their breath, the two of them continued to move forward.

After walking for a few more miles, Song Wen suddenly stopped and his expression became a little more solemn.

"What's wrong?" Xue Mei asked.

"Ahead are Lan Chen and Mo Yexue. They are being besieged by a group of black ants." Song Wen said.

"What kind of black ants?" Xue Mei asked.

Song Wen said eloquently, "The big black ants are as strong as calves, and the small ones are only as big as a fist..."

Black ants hide in the underground rocks of the cave.

They can burrow into the ground quickly and silently, making them impossible to detect with spiritual consciousness.

Black ants broke out of the stone from various positions and attacked Lan Chen and Mo Yesue in an endless stream.

Lan Chen and Mo Yesue had no good way to deal with the elusive black ants. They could only show up and kill one.

Among the black ants that appeared, the one with the highest cultivation level only had the strength of the third level peak, and was no match for the two women.

However, the number of black ants was huge, and they were not afraid of death. They kept attacking the defense circle of the two people one after another.

These black ants can spray a light yellow fishy liquid from their mouths.

The liquid is extremely corrosive, and when it falls on the ground, the rocks will be corroded quickly, emitting bursts of foul-smelling black smoke.

Song Wen was worried about being discovered by Lan Chen and Mo Yesue, so he took back his spiritual consciousness and did not dare to pry too much.

"I'm afraid they are in big trouble." After listening to Song Wen's description, Xue Mei said, with a hint of gloating in his tone.

"Why did you say that?" Song Wen looked confused.

The strongest of these black ants is only at the peak of the third level. How can they threaten two late Nascent Soul monks?

What's more, Song Wen even suspected that Lan Chen was at the peak of Yuanying's cultivation.

Xue Mei said, "You underestimate these black ants. They are called gold-eating ants, they like to eat metal minerals, their bodies are as hard as gold and iron, and they are good at hiding their breath. When they hide underground, it is difficult to detect them. There are so many The gold-eating ants besiege the two, and there must be a fourth-level queen ant behind them, and each queen has at least several ant kings of the same level."

As if to prove that what Xue Mei said was true, as soon as Xue Mei finished speaking, a different change occurred on the battlefield ten miles away.

"Lan Chen, why are these black ants killing more and more?"

Mo Yesue asked with a frown as he looked at the black ant corpses lying on the ground.

Under her urging, a black flying sword that was neither gold nor wood streaked across the cave like a meteor. The black ants that broke out of the stone fell to the ground one after another.

Even the black ants at the peak of the third level couldn't withstand Mo Yexue's full sword, and all of them were disembowelled.

"Behind these gold-eating ants, I'm afraid there are higher-level beings. I always feel that they seem to be under some kind of instructions and are deliberately consuming your and my mana. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. It's better for you and me to leave as soon as possible." Lan Chen's expression Said with some concern.

Mo Yesue said, "According to the ancient book you obtained, there are phantom wing butterflies and purple-gold spiritual trees in the Orchid Realm. The phantom wing butterflies can help you improve your spiritual awareness and further your cultivation strength."

"Purple golden spirit wood is the main spiritual material for refining the top-grade magic weapon Flying Sword. If I can get this thing and refine it into my natal magic weapon Flying Sword, maybe it can help me break through the magic weapon that has trapped me for many years. The bottleneck in the later stage of Nascent Soul.”

"After you and I finally entered this Orchid Realm, if we were frightened by a few gold-eating ants and fled, and thus missed the Phantom Winged Butterfly and the Purple Golden Spirit Tree, wouldn't we regret it for the rest of our lives?"

Lan Chen frowned tightly and looked around, as if trying to find some clues among the gold-eating ants that kept popping up from the ground.

"But...I always feel a little uneasy in my heart." Lan Chen said.

Mo Yesue said, "Lan Chen, you are acting too cautiously. You and I join forces. It is difficult to have an opponent in this Divine Blood Palace. Why do you need to worry about mere gold-eating ants."

When she finished speaking, the flying sword hit a gold-eating ant as big as a bowl.

Mo Yesue didn't pay too much attention to this gold-eating ant.

She has killed hundreds of gold-eating ants of the same size.

Based on her experience, the strength of a gold-eating ant of this size is probably within the range from mid-second level to peak second level.

It doesn't even need too much mana to activate it. The sharpness of the flying sword itself is enough to kill the gold-eating ant of this strength.

Therefore, this attack was somewhat careless.

The mana that Mo Yexue used on the flying sword was pitifully small.

However, when the flying sword was about to cut it down, the gold-eating ant suddenly turned sharply in the air and avoided the sharp edge of the flying sword.

Then, the gold-eating ant suddenly accelerated, and its speed instantly exceeded the escape speed of the cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

A fierce aura burst out from the gold-eating ant.

The distance between this gold-eating ant and the two women was not far, only a hundred feet.

Its sudden explosion caught the two women off guard, and it was close to the two women ten feet away in the blink of an eye.

Mo Yexue narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sword tactics in his hand changed slightly. The flying sword drew an arc in the air, came from behind, and slashed at the gold-eating ant.

The gold-eating ant ignored the flying sword behind it and continued to attack the two women.

"Dang!"

Mo Yexue used all her strength to slash the back of the gold-eating ant. The expected scene of the sword breaking in two did not happen, but instead there was a sound of metal clashing.

A straight sword mark appeared on the dark back of the gold-eating ant, but it failed to break its hard shell.

Although it was not a big deal, the huge force from the flying sword also made the gold-eating ant lose its balance.

As a result, the gold-eating ant accelerated towards the two women.

The gold-eating ant opened its mouth and spit out a light yellow smelly liquid, like a sharp arrow, straight into Mo Yexue's face.
