"So many people."
After Ling Xiao converted the Canopy Beast into his beast soul, he finally reached a depth of hundreds of meters below the ice.
Although he was hundreds of meters below the ice, there seemed to be a special formation that lit up the area.
As far as his eyes could see, there were at least a hundred people.
Among them, there were close to thirty Second Tier Lifeseizers.
Among them, there were five whose auras were no weaker than Dugu Xiong's. They were even more terrifying than King Tianjue and Lan Mei-Devil.
It seemed that he had seen too few experts before. He didn't expect the Sword Dynasty to be so full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Ling Xiao's arrival didn't cause too much of a stir.
To the experts here, a First Tier Lifeseizer couldn't do anything, so they didn't care at all.
However, when Ling Xiao met up with Falling Moon and the others, a few people frowned.
Because they realized that Ling Xiao was most likely one of Nine Defiants' men. That would be a little troublesome.
Boom!
Suddenly, someone else came in.
Ling Xiao turned around and saw a group of people from the Devil Dragon Sword Court.
However, only Lan Mei-Devil, Empress Lan Mei-Chen, and the Devil Emperor were left.
The Devil Dragon Sword Court had suffered a great loss.
However, Lan Mei-Devil's face was filled with an excited smile.
Empress Lan Mei-Chen had also broken through.
Like Jin Fengming, she had broken through to the Second Tier Lifeseizer.
Although this forbidden area was dangerous, it was also the best place to break through. Apart from the fact that the spiritual energy here was dozens or even hundreds of times denser than outside.
There were also many opportunities.
As a genius martial artist of the Sword Dynasty, Empress Lan Mei-Chen had no reason not to break through.
Ling Xiao!
Empress Lan Mei-Chen had regained her confidence.
He saw Ling Xiao in the crowd at a glance, and his eyes suddenly became extremely cold.
Ling Xiao's appearance had caused this once famous genius to be battered and exhausted all of a sudden.
Even his physical body was destroyed.
Previously, in the Heaven End Ancient Ruins, he was easily defeated by Ling Xiao, and his mother had to use the Sword Sovereign Catalog in exchange for his life.
This humiliation, this hatred, he had never forgotten.
"Ling Xiao, just you wait. I'll let you know that I'm the real genius!"
Ling Xiao did not pay attention to Empress Lan Meichen. He merely glanced at Empress Lan and focused his attention on the entrance of the graveyard.
The entrance was a huge ice cave.
The ice cave was irregular in shape, and the longest part of it was more than a hundred meters in diameter.
Even if Ling Xiao opened his Taiji Eye, he could not see what was going on inside.
They could only feel a bone-piercing cold emanating from it, causing them to shudder.
"Why aren't you going in?"
Ling Xiao asked Falling Moon curiously.
Just as Falling Moon was about to reply, she heard someone say, "Everyone might be puzzled. Why haven't we entered since we arrived long ago?
Now, I can tell you that although this ice cave looks normal, there is actually a nest of ice ants inside.
This group of ice ants was huge in number. Just now, ten people had tried to enter, but in the blink of an eye, they were bitten until only their bones were left.
Of those ten, five are second division Lifeseizers. "
"Ice ants!"
Ling Xiao frowned. He had heard of them before, and knew that they were terrifying demonic insects that liked to live in groups.
Although they weren't very strong individually, they didn't fear death, and they came in large numbers. Therefore, it was possible that they could kill a second division Lifeseizer.
"Who was that guy?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"The Shellfish Emperor from the Myriad Kingdoms! He should be as strong as Dugu Xiong. "
Falling Moon replied.
"The Myriad Kingdoms! That's the Myriad Kingdoms of the Nine Supremes? "
Ling Xiao was stunned. He had assumed that only Sword Dynasty martial artists had entered. He had never imagined that there would be martial artists from the other Nine Supremes.
"That's right. It's the Myriad Kingdoms. Not only are there martial artists from the Myriad Kingdoms, but there are also martial artists from the Ice Dynasty and Fire Dynasty.
From the looks of it, they were traveling in the Sword Dynasty, and happened to see the opening of the forbidden area, so they came in together. "
Falling Moon nodded.
Ling Xiao sighed inwardly. Thankfully, they were only second division Lifeseizers. If they had been any stronger, his chances of getting the Ice Paragon Catalog would have been very slim.
Even as they spoke, the others were worried about the ice ants.
"Shellfish Emperor, the ice ants are so terrifying. What should we do?"
Someone suddenly asked.
The Shellfish Emperor laughed. "The ant swarm is terrifying. But if we can kill the queen, then the ants will collapse without a fight.
The best way to do that is to force the queen out of the ice cave, and then kill her. "
"But how exactly do we do that?"
Someone asked.
"Let's all work together and attack. No matter how strong the ant swarm is, it can't compare to so many experts."
The Shellfish Emperor said.
"That makes sense. There are over a hundred experts here, and even the weakest are first division Lifeseizers. Why would we be afraid of mere ice ants?"
Although some of the people had been afraid of the ice ants, now that there were so many of them, they weren't afraid at all.
"Let's begin!"
Someone shouted.
After all the trials and tribulations they had gone through to get to this ice cave, it was only natural that they wanted one or two treasures.
Even if they couldn't get the Ice Paragon Catalog, they could get something else. If they could get one or two items, it would be worth it.
Chuckling, the Shellfish Emperor took the lead and entered the ice cave.
With him taking the lead, the others followed.
Ling Xiao and the others followed. Since this was something that would benefit everyone, there was no harm in participating.
And thus, over a hundred Lifeseizers entered the ice cave.
About twenty meters into the cave, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped.
"Get back!"
He shouted at Yan Yue and the others, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy.
"What's wrong?"
Falling Moon and the others followed Ling Xiao and retreated as they asked in puzzlement.
"It's a trap!"
Ling Xiao said, picking up speed.
Just as they were about to leave the ice cave, four giant ants suddenly corroded the walls of the ice cave and drilled their way out.
They blocked the path of retreat of those who had gone in.
"Second division Lifeseizer demonlings!"
Falling Moon said, her face draining of color. "It really is a trap. If we hadn't listened to Ling Xiao, we would've been surrounded by them.
But who is it that's colluding with the ant queen? "
Ling Xiao said coldly. "It's probably the Shellfish Emperor. I can't think of anyone else who suggested this operation."
"Aggghhhhh!"
Miserable shrieks rang out.
Some of the martial artists began to retreat.
However, more and more ice ants began to crawl out of the cave walls.
Although the martial artists were strong, they were being held back by four second division Lifeseizers.
Despite the fact that they were surrounded by a dense swarm of ants, they still suffered heavy casualties.
