An Overlord-tier Dragon Ant passed by. Maybe it noticed Gao Peng and the others, or maybe it didn't.
But whether it noticed them or not, this Overlord-tier Dragon Ant ignored Gao Peng and the others.
"Let's go. Let's follow it." Gao Peng put Dumb into the space.
Dumb's Emperor-tier aura was too obvious. Liguang and Flamy's King-tier auras were easier to ignore …
This Overlord-tier Dragon Ant left in such a hurry. What else could attract it?
Gao Peng's thoughts turned. He knew that the Overlord-tier Dragon Ant was probably heading towards the dragon corpse.
Gao Peng didn't know what attitude Dragon Ants had towards their own kind. Were they like tigers, where two tigers couldn't share a mountain, unless one was male and the other was female? Or were they like wolves, who lived in groups?
As for the ant-like ecosystem, Gao Peng naturally didn't believe it.
If it was an "ant nest" formed by a group of Emperor-tier and Overlord-tier Dragon Ants, that would be terrifying. Gao Peng couldn't even imagine what kind of existence an ant nest of this level would be.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't be to such a crazy extent.
Wherever the Overlord-tier Dragon Ants passed, everything was silent. This saved Gao Peng a lot of trouble.
They didn't encounter any monsters along the way. Even if there were some King-tier and Emperor-tier monsters, they ignored Gao Peng and the others.
"Squeak!"
"Hiss!" Fierce screeches came from the depths of the valley.
One by one, the gigantic monsters revealed their scaly claws, and their enormous bodies were hidden in the white fog.
Gao Peng guessed that the fog in the Dragon Death Grounds was probably a combination of the Essence Qi of the dragon corpses that had died in the valley over the years. It had a strong blocking effect on vision.
In the fog, Gao Peng basically judged the direction of the monsters based on their sounds.
Just by listening to the sounds, he could tell that there was more than one Dragon Ant in the depths. But he didn't hear the Dragon Ants fighting each other.
Gao Peng's expression changed slightly. There was more than one Dragon Ant. Maybe these Dragon Ants didn't discriminate against their own kind. Maybe they lived in groups.
Roar!
Rumble!
Gao Peng cautiously crept forward as he heard the sounds of monsters fighting in front of him.
Gao Peng kept his body close to the ground and his elbows stuck to the ground. He approached the battlefield in a crawling posture.
Slap. A clump of mud was sent flying by the aftershock and landed beside Gao Peng's head. Gao Peng was extremely calm.
Gao Peng's mind was extremely clear. He knew that he was not necessarily safe. Perhaps these monsters had already discovered him, but they ignored him because he was too weak to pose a threat to them. However, if he released Dumb, things would be different …
These monsters that were fighting to the death just a moment ago would probably all focus on him in an instant.
Therefore, the temporary safety was not a reason for him to let his guard down.
Gao Peng turned around and saw a grey-white insect the size of a car trying to get closer to the center of the battlefield. It seemed to be very scared, and the insect did not dare to get too close.
Liguang had just killed a Dragon Stone Beetle.
Gao Peng recognized this beetle.
This Dragon Stone Beetle was at least Lord-tier. Time passed by slowly.
This Dragon Stone Beetle saw Gao Peng but ignored him.
It only glanced at Gao Peng. It seemed that Gao Peng was not tasty, so it quickly gave up and chose to approach.
After crawling behind the Dragon Stone Beetle for half an hour, Gao Peng finally saw what the monsters were fighting for in the center of the battlefield.
In the center of the battlefield, a huge body was lying on the ground. There were rings of tough old skin around its grey-white neck. Its slender tail had completely turned into a cloud of hazy smoke.
Its snow-white body continued to rise and fall. This was a giant beast similar to a western dragon.
The air was filled with a muddy smell. A huge amount of fog was disintegrating from the monster's body.
The fog that filled the sky was actually disintegrated from this monster's body!
Gao Peng was shocked. It was as if he was seeing a monster for the first time. This huge corpse seemed to have died not long ago. [Item Name]: Corpse of the Smoke Dragon.
The corpse still smelled fresh. Its huge body was at least a few hundred meters long.
It was Gao Peng's first time seeing this monster's corpse. Was this the dragon that had roared in the valley earlier?
Around the dragon's corpse, several monsters were fighting with each other or glaring at each other.
Among them, four Dragon Ants had gathered together to form a small group. Their throats were emitting sharp and irritable sounds. They were unusually fierce. Two were Overlord-tier and two were Emperor-tier.
The four Dragon Ants huddled together and formed a small circle around the Smoke Dragon's abdomen. They did not care about the other monsters. They just buried their heads in their own food. Only when the other monsters came close did they stop what they were doing. Then, they tilted their heads and looked at the approaching monsters with vigilance.
Relying on this habit, the Dragon Ants firmly held a key position.
Gao Peng thought about it. When they were not paying attention, he secretly released a small Dragon Ant — Fifth Baby.
Through the Blood Contract, he instructed Fifth Baby in its mind, "Remember to be careful. When you get there, be humble. You are all of the same race. These Dragon Ants should not bully you. When you get there, just recognize them as your seven aunts and eight aunts. You know what to say … "
Fifth Baby, who was instigated by Gao Peng, crawled over in a daze.
The adult Dragon Ant that was tearing at the dragon's abdomen suddenly turned its head when it heard the footsteps. It looked fiercely … Hey, where did this baby Dragon Ant come from? Looking at its length, it must have just come out of the nest. Where are its adults?
The adult Dragon Ant was dumbfounded.
This little one, this size …
Which family was so careless that they could not even take care of their own little ones? Why did they come here?
Dragon Ants were social creatures. Every Dragon Ant would separate and form a nest on its own after reaching adulthood.
However, most of them liked to live in areas near dragon graveyards. After discovering a dragon's corpse, the Dragon Ants that gathered together would form an alliance to defend against external enemies.
After Fifth Baby ran over, it stared at the dragon's corpse not far in front of it. It was almost drooling.
This little Dragon Ant was not even as big as its foot. Naturally, the adult Dragon Ants did not chase Fifth Baby away. After all, it did not make a difference whether it was there or not.
Just like that, Fifth Baby got away with it. It ate and drank …
Half an hour later, the adult Dragon Ants were still devouring the Smoke Dragon. Fifth Baby, who had eaten its fill, sneaked away. Its belly was round, as if it was eight months pregnant. It rolled and crawled away.
Dragon Ants stealing blood from a dragon's corpse was a random thing. It did not mean that Dragon Ants would definitely steal the dragon's blood after eating a dragon's corpse. Sometimes, even if a Dragon Ant ate a few whole dragons, it might not be able to get the blood. However, sometimes it would be lucky to steal the blood after eating a few mouthfuls of meat.
