Chapter 293
Ten years had passed in the cave world in the blink of an eye.
Lie Yong entered the ranks of golden insect masters.
But he did not make a big fanfare.
Instead, he secretly annexed the small tribes around the Fiery Fire Ant Tribe.
He kept accumulating strength.
He had once thought about whether he could obtain the Thunder Devouring Ant Cultivation Method by joining the Thunder Devouring Ant Tribe.
But this idea was rejected as soon as it came to his mind.
Because he was practicing the Fiery Fire Ant Cultivation Method.
Unless he killed his three Fiery Fire Ants and replaced them with Thunder Devouring Ants to cultivate from scratch.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain the Thunder Devouring Ant Cultivation Method.
He also thought about whether he could capture an insect master from the Thunder Devouring Ant Tribe and force him to reveal the Thunder Devouring Ant Cultivation Method.
But everyone's progress in practicing the Thunder Devouring Ant Cultivation Method is different.
To obtain the complete Thunder Devouring Ant Cultivation Method, at least one golden insect master must be captured alive.
As a medium-sized tribe, the insect masters of the Thunder Devouring Ant Tribe are generally much stronger than those of small tribes at the same level.
Although Lie Yong is strong, he doesn't think he can capture a golden insect master of the Thunder Ant Tribe alive.
The only way is to continue to accumulate strength, flatten the Thunder Ant Tribe, destroy the bronze statue, and obtain the Thunder Ant cultivation method.
In order to speed up, Lie Yong taught the "Opening Sutra" to his trusted confidants.
Let them practice it.
In this way, the high-end combat power of the Fire Ant Tribe will increase.
It is only a matter of time before more golden insect masters appear.
As far as Lie Yong knows, there are only three golden insect masters in the Thunder Ant Tribe with peak combat power.
As long as more golden insect masters appear in the Fire Ant Tribe, they can be flattened!
Time passed quickly, and another ten years passed.
The power of the Fire Ant Tribe expanded wildly.
Lie Yong was also very patient. Facing the insect masters who came to collect taxes from the Thunder Ant Tribe every year, he swallowed his anger every time and did not show his strength.
After ten years, Lie Yong has become a golden upper-class insect master.
Three more golden insect masters appeared in the Fire Ant Tribe.
In addition, there are as many as twenty silver insect masters.
As for the lowest-level bronze insect masters, there are more than five hundred of them.
Such a number of insect masters is enough to defeat the Thunder Ant Tribe!
The Fire Ant Tribe.
Lie Yong wrapped his insect skin coat tightly.
Two confidants followed him closely.
He is now seventy-eight years old.
Although being promoted to a gold insect master will give him another ten or twenty years of life, who would complain about long life?
Of course, the more the better.
Try to make the greatest achievements while you are alive.
"It's the end of the year again." Lie Yong said casually.
"Yes, we will pay taxes to the Thunder Ant Tribe in the next few days." Chen He, the confidant on the left, whispered.
"Well, don't pay it this time, let them collect it themselves." Lie Yong said calmly.
Chen He was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Lie Yong meant, "Yes."
Small tribes must pay taxes to medium-sized tribes.
This is a tradition in the cave world since ancient times.
No small tribe has ever dared to violate it.
After the Fire Ant Tribe destroyed the Rock Ant Tribe and other tribes, they had to pretend that they were still there and pay taxes for them.
If it weren't for this harsh tax, the Fire Ant Tribe would have accumulated enough strength five years ago.
"Is your son ready?" Lie Yong said calmly.
Chen He said in a deep voice, "He is ready. It is his honor to contribute to the tribe."
Lie Yong nodded slightly.
...
As expected.
No taxes were paid this time.
Eight days later, the insect master of the Thunder Ant Tribe came in person.
This silver insect master led three bronze insect masters and came to the Fire Ant Tribe arrogantly.
He shouted at the insect master guarding the door, "I am Lei Jia from the Thunder Ant Tribe!"
"Where is the chief of your Fire Ant Tribe! Let him come out!"
"Why didn't you pay the taxes this year!"
"Also, what's the situation with the Rock Ant Tribe and the Great Devouring Ant Tribe? Why don't they pay taxes either?"
With a squeak.
The gate of the Fiery Ant Tribe slammed open.
Lie Yong walked out with his confidants in big strides.
Lei Jia looked at Lie Yong's dragon-like steps and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Strange.
He only had this feeling when facing the tribe leader and others.
The tribe leader of this small tribe in front of him actually had such an amazing aura.
Lei Jia snorted coldly, "You are the tribe leader of the Fiery Ant Tribe? I ask you, where is the tax this year!"
Lie Yong said helplessly, "This year's crop is poor, and I really can't make up enough taxes."
The Fiery Ant Tribe is rich in sulfur and blood rice.
So the taxes paid every year are measured in sulfur and blood rice.
Lei Jia frowned deeply, "No! It doesn't matter if you don't have enough to eat, you can't pay less taxes!"
Lie Yong was full of sorrow, "Really not..."
Lei Jia showed a cold look, "No?"
He growled.
Immediately, two lightning ants suddenly appeared beside him.
The insect masters behind him also summoned their own lightning ants upon seeing this.
The insect masters beside Lie Yong felt nervous and subconsciously summoned their own fire ants.
The situation became tense in an instant.
However, the lightning ants of Lei Jia and others obviously ate enough on weekdays, their shells were shiny and their mouthparts were sharp.
In comparison, the fire ants were much inferior.
This is exactly the difference in foundation between a medium-sized tribe and a small tribe.
Lei Jia sneered, "Oh? Can I think that you want to resist taxes? Resist the orders of the Thunder Ant Tribe?"
Lie Yong looked angry, "Why do you say that! I have always respected the Thunder Ant Tribe..."
Lei Jia pointed at the insect master behind him, "Then you ask them to put away the monster insects immediately!"
"Dare to show the monster insects in front of me, you are looking for death!"
Lie Yong took a deep breath and sighed, "Put them away... Put them away."
"Chief, but..." A young insect master clenched his fists.
Lie Yong roared, "No buts, put them away! Chen Ang, you put them away too!"
The insect masters of the Fiery Ant Tribe had to put away the monster insects, but they all gritted their teeth.
Lei Jia laughed strangely, "That's right."
"You must always remember that the order of the Thunder Ant Tribe is the supreme decree!"
"Even if the words of the Holy Ant Tribe are not valid on the territory of my Thunder Ant Tribe!"
Lei Jia pointed at Chen Ang who had just spoken and sneered, "You just spoke rudely to me, kneel down!"
Chen Ang's face was full of anger, "Don't even think about it!"
Lie Yong roared, "Kneel down!"
Chen Ang still stiffened his neck and refused to kneel.
Lei Jia sneered, "Okay, you don't want to kneel, right?"
He directly pulled out the whip from his waist and pulled it hard!
Crack!
A dazzling blood mark immediately appeared on Chen Ang's face.
Chen Ang was knocked out by the huge force on the spot.
Someone wanted to help him up.
Lei Jia sneered, "I'll see who dares to help him, and helping him will be guilty!"
The people of the Fiery Ant Tribe had to suppress their anger and dared not reach out.
Lei Jia raised the whip again and pulled it hard.
Crack! Crack!
Again and again.
Blood stains continued to appear on Chen Ang's body.
Lei Jia didn't take back the whip until he was done with it, and said lightly, "I'll give you another month. No matter what method you use, you must pay the full tax..."
Before she finished speaking, an old woman cried out, "Child! Say something! What's wrong with you!"
She hugged Chen Ang and cried bitterly.
However, the young man didn't react at all.
It was as if... he was dead.
