Chapter 276

The nest was dozens of meters tall and was densely packed with entrances and exits. After the few flying ants entered, a large number of ants immediately crawled out. Soon, tens of thousands of flying ants rushed over.

Guo Shier took out the Soul Suppressing Cauldron and smiled. "Now, I'm not afraid of being ganged up on."

A group of flying ants was sucked into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron's rainbow light. Wherever the rainbow light passed, a large portion of the densely packed flying ants would be lost.

Soon, this group of flying ants were all sucked into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron. A Handsome Old Man smiled. "That's not bad. Are you going to raise ants?"

Guo Shier said, "No … uh, that's not a bad idea. It's not like there's no place to raise flying ants. I'll raise them in the Soul Suppressing Cauldron … but, I don't know what they eat." He did not want to use the flying ants as talisman worms, but as food for spirit beasts. Spirit beasts were not picky eaters. Moreover, once the flying ants bred, there would be tens of thousands of them.

A Handsome Old Man said, "Flying ants eat everything. In the future, when dealing with the mutated talisman beasts and their corpses, the dregs left behind … don't even need to burn them. Just throw them into the ant swarm. Hehe, that'll save me a lot of trouble."

It was unknown how many ants there were in the dozen or so mountain-like nests. Guo Shier did not retreat too far. Instead, he stood guard a few hundred meters away. Whether it was the flying ants or the ants crawling over, they were all sucked into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron. As more and more ants poured out, he gradually became excited.

The mutated ants' levels were not high, only around level six or seven. Although there were a lot of them, they could not threaten Guo Shier at all.

Layer after layer of rainbow light rolled up, and the ants disappeared one after another. A Handsome Old Man smiled. "These mutated ants are really unlucky to have encountered such a freakish treasure offering. Hehe, more than a hundred thousand ants disappeared. I estimate that each of these dozen or so nests has more than a hundred thousand ants … oh, that's enough for the spirit beasts to eat …"

Guo Shier smiled. "It's not enough for all the spirit beasts to eat. An ant is only this big. It's not enough for the spirit beasts to eat. My main goal is not the ants …"

A Handsome Old Man asked curiously, "If it's not ants, then what is it?"

Guo Shier said, "Two things … the ant queen and the egg."

Puzzled, the handsome old man said, "Ant Queen … I understand. That thing must be kept in the Soul Suppressing Cauldron to form an ant nest. Ant eggs … why do you want them?"

Guo Shi 'er swallowed his saliva and said, "Eat!" In his previous life, he had this hobby. Whether it was bee pupae, silkworm pupae, or ant eggs, as long as he saw them, he would definitely not let them go. Not only were those things very nutritious, but they also tasted very good. Therefore, when he saw an ant nest, he did not plan to let it go.

Fortunately, there were no special Alienated Ants coming out to pester him. This way, Guo Shier could focus on collecting the various ants that were pouncing at him. Guo Shier swept all the ants into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

The interior of the Soul Suppressing Cauldron was very spacious. There was enough space to store them. The collected ants were gathered in a corner. There were rune seals all around, so it was impossible for them to escape. Even if they escaped, they would not be able to live. There were nearly a million spirit beasts outside. Any living creature would die if they went out.

More and more ants came out. Especially after Guo Shier destroyed an ant nest, there were even more ants coming out. This time, the ants that came out were clearly of a higher rank. The largest one was over a meter long and was crazily rushing over. Guo Shier chuckled as he moved these ants into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

Bored, A Handsome Old Man propped up his chin with his hands. Half of his body was in the sacrificial altar. One of his fingers was tapping his cheek as he said, "Catching ants … Catching ants for no reason … Sigh, boring. These are all ants of low rank. If there were a few stronger ants, it might be more fun."

Guo Shi 'er took the trouble to collect the ants. He had an idea in his mind. These ants were not very strong, but they had an advantage. If he left this world in the future, these ants could also be used as food for the Soul Beasts. Although ant meat was small, it was still meat. Of course, the most important thing was that the souls of these ants were not weak. This was the reason he was not willing to give up.

The ants that came out of the dozen or so ant nests were quickly collected. Although there were many ants, there was a bottom line. Gradually, the number of ants that came out decreased. Guo Shier said with a smile, "It's about time."

A Handsome Old Man said with a smile, "Are we going to dig an ant nest?"

Guo Shier's eyes lit up as he said, "I reckon there should be something good in the ant nest. Hehe, it's a mutated ant nest after all." He had lived in this world for a long time. Coupled with his inheritance and his own experience, he knew that even though there were only ants here, as long as there was a mutation, there would be something special.

A large illusory hand fell down. With a boom, an ant nest was forcefully opened. Although there were no ants outside, there were still thousands of ants crawling out after opening the nest. They were swept away by the Soul Suppressing Cauldron's rainbow light. Soon, Guo Shier opened an ant nest.

A huge hole appeared. At this time, hundreds of guard-like ants appeared. Each of them was huge and four to five meters long. They squeaked as they crawled out. Guo Shier said with a smile, "As expected, these ants should be at least rank ten. Not bad." The rainbow light swept the hundreds of ants into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

Following that, the illusory hand reached into the hole and forcefully pulled. Guo Shier saw the ant queen and a pile of ant eggs. The ant queen was more than thirty meters long. It was a huge white insect. Guo Shier said, "Hehe, the ant queen. With her, we can raise an ant colony."

After careful observation, this ant queen seemed to be a rank thirteen mutated talisman insect. However, the ant queen wasn't good at fighting. It was only good at commanding and laying eggs. Guo Shier didn't delay and immediately swept the ant queen into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

Guo Shier shrank the altar and flew into the ant nest to carefully collect the ant eggs. These ant eggs were relatively large. They were about the size of a finger and were silvery white. They looked very beautiful. Guo Shier estimated that there were tens of thousands of ant eggs. There were also some newly hatched ants.

Following the principle of not wasting, he put the ant eggs into the altar and the newly hatched ants into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron. After a while, the ant nest was completely clean. Not a single ant could be seen. Only then did Guo Shier dig up the mound below. There was an extremely small amount of earth fiends below. This was one of his targets.

Flying out of the ant nest, Guo Shier said, "Unfortunately, this is a small ant nest. Whether in quantity or quality, it's much worse. Let's continue searching." At this time, his flying direction had already deviated from his original path.

…

Khalchi cursed crazily because there was another group of black spot mosquitoes behind him. There were already tens of thousands of them, covering the sky and covering the earth as they followed behind him. There were a few times when he couldn't help but want to send out a distress signal, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. He was the weakest one and had shamelessly followed them down. If he sent a distress signal, wouldn't he be a disgrace and be despised by others? He might even be chased back. Thus, he flew around like a headless fly and refused to send a distress signal.

He really couldn't understand why he attracted so many mosquitoes.

As he fled, Khalchi couldn't be bothered to attack behind him. He knew that he wouldn't be able to kill many black spot mosquitoes. How could he know that this was the area where the black spot mosquitoes lived? There were countless black spot mosquitoes moving around here. When he flew, he made too much noise. In addition to his soul fluctuations, the black spot mosquitoes felt that he was a supreme delicacy.

When another group of black spot mosquitoes chased after him, this fellow almost collapsed. According to his estimation, there were at least eighty thousand mosquitoes behind him, if not a hundred thousand. Among them, there were many mutated talisman mosquitoes. He said hatefully, "I hate mosquitoes …"

A group of sand rabbits appeared on the ground. There were at least a few hundred of them. Seeing the black spot mosquitoes that covered the sky, they were all frightened and frantically fled. The sand rabbits here were very large. The small ones were around one meter long, and the big ones were up to two meters. They ran extremely fast. In an instant, a few thousand mutated black spot mosquitoes separated from the swarm and fiercely pounced over.

Khalchi clearly saw two black spot mosquitoes pierce their sharp mouths into the sand rabbit's back. Then, he watched as the sand rabbit's body shriveled. In a few breaths, only the sand rabbit's skin was left. Even the bones had probably disappeared. He couldn't help but curse, "Oh, these perverted mosquitoes … How is this sucking blood? This is f * cking sucking flesh and bones …"

Then, he saw a few hundred desert camels, each of them over ten meters long. When they saw the black spot mosquitoes flying over, they all frantically fled. Khalchi hoped to see more of these mutated talisman beasts. But after fleeing for so long, he only found this small group of desert camels. He watched as the group of black spot mosquitoes fell, leaving behind only the camel's skin. The speed at which they died made his scalp go numb.

Khalchi screamed as he ran for his life. Actually, if he turned around and fought, he might not die, but this fellow was scared stiff. If he didn't run from the start and chose to fight, he wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation.

After running a few more rounds, Khalchi suddenly came to a realization. He couldn't help but curse himself for being stupid. Wandering in the territory of the black spot mosquitoes would naturally attract a large swarm of mosquitoes. The swarm of mosquitoes behind him had already reached two to three hundred thousand. They really covered the sky like rising dust. That buzzing sound was like roaring laughter. Khalchi was already sweating profusely.

The entire swarm of mosquitoes formed a wall. It seemed like it would collapse at any moment and press down on Khalchi's body.

"Oh my god …"

…

Yao Zebusong found a small piece of earth fiend mist and was carefully collecting it. This bit of earth fiend was under a large sand dune. If not for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have discovered it. This bit of earth fiend was enough to condense two earth fiend beads. This made him very satisfied.

After collecting two earth fiend beads, Yao Zebusong flew up. He didn't control the sacrificial altar and just flew on the sand dune. He had a lot of experience and knew that earth fiend would form under large sand dune. As long as he searched carefully, he would usually have some harvest. He didn't expect to find a large area of earth fiend as it was too hard to find. With his methods, his harvest might not be big, but he definitely wouldn't return empty-handed.

He had already collected seven or eight earth fiend beads along the way, so he was in a good mood.

Buzz buzz …

Yao Zebusong listened attentively and asked curiously, "What is this sound?"
