This sudden turn of events caused the people of the three factions to be dumbfounded!
The morale that they had just built up was totally destroyed at this moment!
An army of hundreds of thousands of Vital Ants. Compared with a hundred people on their side, just the number alone was enough to completely crush them. There was no comparison at all!
If Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming, who were at the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, and Li Tianxun, who was at the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, these cultivators at the Human Celestial Stage would have been scared out of their wits!
However, as long as the powerhouses at the Earth Celestial Stage were there, they could barely keep calm.
After all, those hundreds of thousands of Vital Ants were at the Half Celestial Stage or the Human Celestial Stage. Only the Queen Ant was at the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage.
However, in front of cultivators at the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, the Queen Ant was not a threat. As long as the Vital Ant King didn't show up, they could still fight. Although this battle was extremely difficult, it was better than despair!
"D * mn! We've been tricked! " Lin Huan said angrily. He couldn't figure out why Xu Que and his teammates were safe when they entered the nest. But when they arrived, they were attacked by the Vital Ants!
"Don't talk nonsense! Let's kill our way in!" Li Tianxun said gloomily. Then he jumped up and his killing intent swept across the area!
At this moment, only he could take the lead. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to break through the nest. Also, the closer he could get to the nest of the Vital Ant King before it showed up, the closer he would be to his goal!
Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming exchanged glances with each other. Then, they followed Li Tianxun and rushed forward.
In the past, they would definitely choose to retreat. After all, the strength gap between them and the Vital Ants was too big. If they rushed forward, they would lose more than they could gain.
But now, Li Tianxun was leading the way. After finding Xu Que, they would have a great chance to return to the Xuanhuang Continent. They didn't want to miss this chance!
As a result, a battle in which the Vital Ants had an overwhelming advantage began!
Li Tianxun didn't spend too much energy on saving his companions. All he wanted was to break through the encirclement and reach the nest of the Vital Ant King as soon as possible. Lin Baiwan and Yao Gongming just wanted to follow Li Tianxun and take advantage of him. So they rushed all the way to the nest without much effort.
In the end, because the three aces at the Earth Celestial Stage were slacking off, the members of the three forces were in an extremely tragic situation. One by one, they fell and were instantly torn into pieces by the Vital Ants!
…
At the same time, in the ant king's nest.
Under the lead of the Ant King Qian Guowan, Xu Que and the others bypassed the complicated tunnels and went deeper into the ground, heading for the Grotto-Heaven area at the bottom.
According to Qian Guowan, the Grotto-Heaven was a temporary Secluded Cultivation Abode set up by a ruthless man in those years. The Vital Ants were only responsible for guarding it. The so-called nest of the Ant King was like a small house for guards or servants in a mansion of the Human Clan. It was totally incomparable to the Grotto-Heaven.
However, after a long time, the Grotto-Heaven had been broken. Its space was much smaller than before. It was only as big as a cave now. However, the important parts of the Grotto-Heaven were still well preserved. After all, the ancestors of the Vital Ants had decreed that nobody except the leader of the Vital Ants was allowed to enter the Grotto-Heaven.
Now, Xu Que wanted to enter the Grotto-Heaven as the Lord. Qian Guowan didn't dare to disobey him. So, he led Xu Que and the others to the Grotto-Heaven warmly and respectfully.
Soon, Xu Que saw the Grotto-Heaven mentioned by Fu Shanchuan.
At first glance, it was no different from an ordinary cave. However, in fact, it was full of restrictive spells. The Spiritual Qi and the Rules of Life and Death were extremely rich. If one practiced in this place, he would get twice the result with half the effort!
"Interesting! This place is a treasure land! No wonder he chose to open a cave here!" Xu Que said with a smile after looking at it up and down.
He guessed there must have been a huge Spiritual Vein in this place a long time ago. After the cave was opened, most of the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Vein was absorbed. However, the root was still there, so it could recover slowly. Therefore, the Spiritual Qi and the Rules of Life and Death in this Grotto-Heaven were much richer than those outside.
However, what really attracted Xu Que's attention were the Rule Fragments mentioned by Fu Shanchuan!
This was a species that Xu Que had never seen before. In his opinion, the Rules of Heaven and Earth should be invisible and intangible. They were just a kind of Soul Perception, which was impossible to be materialized!
However, in this Grotto-Heaven, Xu Que saw many small Rule Fragments, which were different in shape and size. They were like broken glass pieces. However, these Rule Fragments were as thin as cicada's wings, glittering and translucent. Also, they were surrounded by strands of murky black and white halos.
"The Aura of Life and Death! How could there be such a pure Aura of Life and Death? "Xu Que was shocked.
He had practiced the Reincarnation Palm, so he was quite sensitive to the Vital Force and the Lifeless Qi. Even though he could control a lot of Rules of Life and Death in this place, he had never seen such pure and rich Rules of Life and Death!
The Rules of Life and Death contained in one Rule Fragment could be compared with the Rules of Life and Death circulating in the Spiritual Qi in the entire eastern suburbs.
No wonder! No wonder Fu Shanchuan said a Rule Fragment could make up for the Rules of Life and Death that a cultivator of the Xuanhuang Continent lacked in his whole life! This is really a good thing!
"My Lord, we didn't dare to use these Rule Fragments. However, because of these Rule Fragments, a Vital Tree grew in this Grotto-Heaven. Every 1,000 years, a grain of Golden Vital Rice will grow. Each grain of Golden Vital Rice has tens of thousands of years of lifespan. Also, we have been keeping these Golden Vital Rice carefully," Qian Guowan said at this time.
Hearing that, Xu Que raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand, saying, "Where did you hide them? Take it out for me to see and prove that you're not bragging! "
"Ah?"
Qian Guowan was stunned. What does he mean by bragging?
However, he didn't dare to ask more questions. Since they belonged to his Lord, his Lord had to show them to him. Otherwise, why did they hide them for so many years without daring to use them?
"My Lord, all the high-level Vital Rice is in here!" Qian Guowan took out a crystal clear jade box and handed it to Xu Que immediately.
There were six grains of Vital Rice in the jade box. Each grain was golden and as big as a thumb, which was quite beautiful.
"Only six grains?" Xu Que asked suspiciously.
Qian Guowan replied hurriedly, "My Lord, this Vital Tree became mature and could produce grains 6,000 years ago. So, there are only six grains of Golden Vital Rice now!"
"OK, I can take six grains of Golden Vital Rice back to my six children to play with!" Xu Que nodded his head thoughtfully. Then, he put away the jade box skillfully.
Qian Guowan was shocked and secretly clicked his tongue. His Lord's bone age seemed to be less than 100 years old, but he already had six children?
That was amazing!
It seems my Lord is very energetic and needs a lot of Vital Rice!
No wonder even the Vital Ants … Eh, no, no! As his subordinate, the Vital Ants shouldn't have such an idea! I can't let Yi 'er climb up the social ladder of my Lord. Otherwise, my Lord will be annoyed!
