If there was only one Teleportation Scroll, perhaps the mercenary group leader would not have made the choice, because he could not abandon his brothers who had followed him through life and death.
However, in Yue Yang's hands, there were more than ten Teleportation Scrolls.
This was enough for him to take his most loyal and trustworthy brothers and safely leave this perilous situation.
"I understand, the things that a person obtains, should match his abilities. You are strong, you will obtain more … I have decided to choose the second option, and accept the deal. As a group leader, I hope to be able to bring all the brothers in the group out. Perhaps you won't be satisfied with just a Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit. If you need it, I can stay behind and be your guide … My request is for you to open a path for my brothers to leave this Ant Nest. At the very least, they can safely disappear from my sight. I hope that you can let me fulfill my final responsibility as a leader, is that possible? "The mercenary group leader made a request that made Yue Yang slightly surprised.
He was actually willing to stay behind, to be a hostage and guide, in exchange for a chance for everyone to escape.
Just based on this point, he was a qualified leader.
A tall and sturdy black man immediately objected, "Leader, no matter who stays, it can't be you. I will stay, you can bring everyone out!"
"Shut up, what you need to do is to listen to the Deputy Leader's words. When you go out, you have to be especially careful and cautious, so as to avoid getting yourself killed!" The mercenary group leader and another middle-aged man with a tall and slender figure, whose eyes flashed with wisdom, nodded at each other. They exchanged the bags on their backs with the middle-aged man, then turned to Yue Yang and said, "As long as my brothers reach the Ant Path, then, I will bring you to the place two levels below. There, we found this Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit, maybe with your ability, you can discover more secrets … and obtain more!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will snatch it?" Yue Yang smiled and asked.
"A true strong person has a proud and unyielding character, looking down on the common people. Of course, they will not be as greedy as bandits. If you wanted to snatch it, you could have killed us all just now, why wait until now? "The leader shook his head.
"Open the bag and let me see the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit first." Yue Yang didn't kill him. It wasn't because of the pride of an expert, but because he wanted to find out more about the location of the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit, hoping to find more secrets. This kind of Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit was different from ordinary Dragon Fruits. It only grew beside the hot springs of volcanoes. It was said that it was born from the venomous saliva of giant dragons. If it was used to concoct Martial Spirit Pills, it could stimulate the potential of martial artists.
If the Spirit Beast Awakening Knowledge Pill was worth a thousand gold, then the Martial Spirit Pill was a priceless treasure.
After all, contracting a summoning grimoire was something only a few people could do.
However, stimulating the human body's potential was something that every martial artist needed.
Some people, when faced with a bottleneck, could not break through for the rest of their lives. If there was a Martial Spirit Pill, then it could immediately stimulate their potential, break through the bottleneck, and advance to a new level, or even continue to break through.
Three hundred years ago, there was a martial artist who trained hard until he was forty years old, but his strength was still that of a Novice Apprentice. He was unable to become a Warrior, and was ridiculed by the world as an idiot!
However, after he took a Martial Spirit Pill, he immediately stimulated his body's potential and broke through to become a Novice Apprentice … In the end, this idiot, who was ridiculed by the world countless times, cultivated to a level that was hard for the world to look up to, a Level 9 'Saint'! This martial artist who was previously called an idiot by the world was also one of the two Heavenly Imperial Guardians of Da Xia Kingdom, the 'Ascetic Practice Saint'. Although not everyone could become a Saint after taking a Martial Spirit Pill, this Ascetic Practice Saint was indeed able to stimulate his potential because of the Martial Spirit Pill. Only then could he be reborn and achieve his current achievements.
If he did not take that Martial Spirit Pill, he might really be an idiot for the rest of his life.
The Martial Spirit Pill was a hundred times more difficult to concoct than the Spirit Beast Awakening Knowledge Pill. Just the main ingredient, the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit, was enough to give the world a splitting headache.
It was not because the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit grew beside the hot springs of volcanoes, nor was it because there was a giant dragon's nest next to it. It was because the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit ripened once in a thousand years!
If it was not ripened, it could not be plucked and would not have any effect.
To wait for it to ripen, it would take as long as a thousand years. By then, a human's bones would probably have already turned into mud in the grave … Furthermore, once it ripened, there would usually be strong Demon Beasts who heard the news and came to fight for it.
Under all kinds of difficult conditions, the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit was one of the 'World's Top Ten Strange Fruits' that were hardest to pluck.
"I can't open it, because the moment I open it, the fragrance will seep out. At that time, all the Fire Red Ants in the Ant Nest will go crazy. Respected Ranker, I swear, please believe me. I dare to use my life to guarantee that it is a Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit, and it is a fruit that is definitely ripe. "The leader shook his head. He threw the bag high up into the air and it landed in front of Yue Yang.
Yue Yang would definitely not trust a stranger easily. However, he had the [Divine Vision] and the senses of his Innate Qi.
As for whether it was a Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit or not, he did not need to open the bag at all.
The moment the bag entered his hands, Yue Yang discovered that there was a huge amount of energy stored inside … It was so strong that he did not need to sense it to be able to feel it clearly.
Yue Yang unceremoniously kept it into his Lich Ring. Then, he raised his Hui Jin Magic Blade and said lightly, "If you guys can keep up, then I can send you guys into an Ant Tunnel. But don't expect me to send you guys out of the cave. I'm not your nanny!"
Even if Yue Yang did not have the intention to save them, the mercenaries on the platform were still extremely touched.
Right now, it was already very rare that he did not hit them when they were down.
They all took out their Insect Bait and threw it far away, hoping to attract more Fire Red Ants to leave temporarily and create a path for them to escape. Even more people sprayed Ant Water and Insect Repellent Water on their bodies. There were also people who smeared mud on their bodies, hoping that the effect of the water would last longer. The three men carrying the Golden Ant Eggs on their backs hugged their leader tightly. A few of the most loyal members also took out their throwing knives, poisonous sand, daggers and other items and handed them over to their leader. They hoped that their leader would be able to increase his combat power a little and increase his chances of survival …
They did not even need to think to know how dangerous this trip would be if they went deeper into the Ant Nest.
It was definitely an action with a slim chance of survival.
However, in order to save everyone, their leader had decided to stay behind as a hostage and a guide. This was already the best choice.
Yue Yang also threw the Insect Bait that he bought in Hope Town far away, causing a commotion in the Ant Nest. They pounced towards the spot where the Insect Bait was smashed and killed any living things that came into contact with the Insect Bait without any explanation, even if they were their comrades.
To them, a strange smell meant that it was an enemy!
The purple flames of his Hui Jin Magic Blade soared into the sky. Yue Yang imitated Yue Qiu's' First Slash: Earth Splitting Slash 'and exploded once again.
Compared to when he was in the Yue Clan Castle, Yue Yang's sword intent had improved a lot.
If the previous Yue Yang's' First Slash: Earth Splitting Slash 'only had a similar sword intent, the moves and power were completely different, but now, even Jun Wu You and Elder Yue Hai, who were extremely familiar with Yue Qiu's combat skills, would probably recognize it wrongly … The power of this slash was at least two times stronger than before.
This was still because Yue Yang had purposely suppressed it and did not fully unleash it.
"All of you, get out of my way!"
Yue Yang discovered that a Giant Ant Guard was crawling over with more than ten Fire Red Ants. It seemed to have smelled something strange here. Some of the mercenaries that had jumped down from the platform were injured. The smell of fresh blood spread in all directions along with the wind, causing many Fire Red Ants to turn their heads and use their antennae to sense the situation. Yue Yang knew that if tens of thousands of Fire Red Ants swarmed over, he would only be able to escape, let alone save anyone.
The purple flames of the Hui Jin Magic Blade in his hands grew bigger and exploded. With a loud boom, the entire space was scorched.
The mercenaries felt the heat wave rolling towards them, all of them were frightened out of their wits.
In the end, fortunately, only their hair and tendrils were burnt, and did not catch fire like they had imagined. They immediately worshipped Yue Yang's ability to control fire … Because they had all seen the same explosion. The Fire Red Ants at the front and the two sides had their antennae burnt by the purple flames. Countless Fire Red Ants were rolling around in the flames, unable to bear the pain.
This move was simply as cool as the legendary Fire God who could control all the flames in the world!
"What are you all waiting for?" Seeing that these fellows were scared stiff and looking at him foolishly, Yue Yang was furious.
"Yes!" The wise vice-captain was the fastest to react.
He stuffed something into the Mercenary Leader's hand, and then immediately ran towards the path that Yue Yang had opened up, running forward with all his might.
A large group of mercenaries followed behind him, striving to outdo each other. Yue Yang continuously slashed at the front, using his purple flames to force the Fire Red Ants to retreat. He opened up a path with fewer Fire Red Ants, allowing the mercenaries to run towards the nearest Ant Tunnel. The vice-captain and the black-skinned man, who were the first to rush in, had already started fighting with the Fire Red Ants in the Ant Tunnel. Even more mercenaries, in order to survive, also rushed forward to help.
The one who stayed at the back was an old man with a Golden Ant Egg on his back. He came over and received the ten teleportation scrolls from Yue Yang.
"Ah Hao, you must come back. You must. Without you, the family will fall apart. You must remember this!" That old man seemed to be the leader's uncle. Before he left, he did not forget to stuff a teleportation scroll into the leader's hand.
"I'm fine. You guys go, go quickly!"
The leader of the mercenary group called Ah Hao did not stand on ceremony. He received the teleportation scroll and stuffed it into his robes, then hurriedly ran to Yue Yang's side.
If not for Yue Yang's protection, the chances of him surviving in the sea of ants would be zero.
Yue Yang saw the mercenaries rushing into the Ant Tunnel. Those who were slightly slower were crying and begging for their companions to pull them up. However, most of them only cared about running away. Very few of them swam back in the opposite direction to lend a helping hand. In short, it was a chaotic scene. Yue Yang slashed out a stream of Fire Force, igniting the tentacles of a few Fire Red Ants that were following behind him. The blade radiance killed the Fire Red Ants that were about to reach the entrance of the Ant Tunnel. This could be considered as sending them on their final journey. Yue Yang could not be bothered about whether they lived or died after this … When he turned his head back to look at the leader of the mercenary group, the leader called Ah Hao used his trembling finger to point at an underground cave where countless Fire Red Ants were crawling out. His lips were trembling a little as he said with certainty, "It's, it's, it's from there!"
Yue Yang would not bring a burden along with him. He grabbed the leader of the mercenary group and jumped back to the platform. He passed the map over and said, "Mark it clearly on the map, then you can go."
"Really?"
When the leader of the mercenary group called Ah Hao heard this, he was stunned at first. He could live?
In an instant, he was extremely touched. He thanked Yue Yang profusely and hurriedly marked the route he had taken on the map.
In the end, when he took out a teleportation scroll and was about to leave, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yue Yang. He was touched and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"
Yue Yang could not be bothered with this fellow. Could it be that he still wanted to seek revenge?
As for repaying his debt of gratitude, forget it …
The leader of the mercenary group called Ah Hao gave a small object to Yue Yang with both of his hands, "We relied on this to get the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit. We hid it from you because we were afraid that you would go back on your words and not save us after getting the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit. We have the heart of a vile person. We are ashamed. We hope that you will be magnanimous! We will take our leave now. If I, Zhong Hao, am able to return alive, we will meet again in the future. If you have any tasks for us, the Wild Sand Mercenary Group will be at your service! "
"Twin Dragon Scissors? I have always been curious as to how you were able to pick the Hard-shelled Dragon Fruit. So this is what you have. Not bad. With this, I don't have to use so much effort to carry the Gold-ranked Dragon Slaying Dagger … How many Hard-shelled Dragon Fruits are there down there? "Yue Yang lightly tossed the small golden object in his hand and kept it.
"We don't know because there are dragons down there! We didn't dare to get too close. At that time, we only took one. When we heard the dragon's roar, we were so scared that we hurriedly escaped! "When the leader of the mercenary group thought of stealing the fruit, he even shivered. He hurriedly opened a teleportation scroll and left.
"There are really dragons? Is it a giant dragon or a flying dragon? "Yue Yang's heart was moved. If he could slay a dragon, then his harvest this time would be even greater.
Regardless of whether there were dragons down there or not, he must go and take a look!
