Very quickly, Tang Huan's guess seemed to have turned into reality.
The two Heavenly Beasts were rapidly approaching, and the ground was trembling more and more. To existences of that level, a distance of a thousand miles was but a blink of an eye.
He couldn't hesitate any longer!
Tang Huan thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.
In a split-second, Tang Huan retracted her aura and shot forward like a bolt of lightning. In just a short span of one or two breaths, Tang Huan had caught up to a giant ant at the peak of the ninth level of the Sky Marquis.
The giant ant was running with all its might, and Tang Huan did not leak any of its aura, so it did not sense anything.
However, an ant that was extremely close to it saw Tang Huan who was following behind it, and waved its two antennae crazily, as if it was reminding its companion.
The giant ant was shocked. It subconsciously turned its head to look, but there was not even a shadow of a ghost behind it.
Just as it looked at its companion in confusion, the giant ant felt that its back had become a little heavier. It turned its head to look, but its back was still empty. This caused it to be puzzled and frightened, and it immediately ran forward even more crazily. The companion beside it did the same.
It was obvious that it was shocked by Tang Huan's sudden disappearance.
Of course, it was impossible for Tang Huan to really disappear into thin air. The moment she caught up to the giant ant, Tang Huan immediately used the sacred art "Heavenly Invisibility". Then, she leaped up and landed on the back of the ant, treating it as her mount.
The reason why he chose to move with the colony of ants was very simple.
Compared to Tang Huan who had just arrived, these giant ants were obviously the local snakes of the "Heavenly Imperial Dragon Palace". For such a huge colony of ants to be able to survive until now, with the appearance of the Ant King and the other six Heavenly King Stage powerhouses, it was likely that they had encountered quite a few dangerous situations like this.
Following them, he might be able to find shelter.
"Rumble …"
The two Heavenly Beasts that were fighting behind him were getting closer and closer. After a while, they were less than five hundred kilometers away from the colony of ants.
At this time, Tang Huan could even faintly feel the Strength Qi fluctuations that were sweeping over.
Four hundred miles, three hundred miles … A hundred miles …
The speed at which the Heavenly Beasts approached was still increasing, and a tense atmosphere lingered within the fleeing ant colony.
Tang Huan frowned slightly. Could it be that she had made a mistake? This colony of ants was just running aimlessly. They didn't have any so-called refuge?
"Sizzle —"
Right at this moment, a shrill, ear-piercing sound was suddenly heard.
Within Tang Huan's sensing range, the giant ants that were scattered throughout the vast area started to adjust their direction, and gathered towards the front where the Ant King was.
In the next moment, Tang Huan discovered that the Ant King's aura had disappeared.
Following that, the five Heavenly King Stage auras also disappeared, and following that, the auras of the rest of the giant ants also left Tang Huan's senses.
"Looks like … there's hope!"
This sudden turn of events caused Tang Huan's heart to be moved.
The disappearance of the Ant King and the other giant ants was definitely not because their souls had been destroyed, but because they had hidden somewhere that could conceal their auras.
Of course, if he didn't want to be caught up in the battle between the Heavenly Beasts behind him, concealing his aura would be useless.
The hiding place of the ant colony must be very sturdy and able to withstand the impact of a strong force … The ant colony must be sure of this, that's why they hid inside.
Perhaps, that was the nest of the ant colony.
Tang Huan calmed her mind, and just as she was about to investigate carefully, a round hole that was tens of meters tall entered her line of sight through the gaps in the weeds. Two pairs of eyes quickly swept across the area, and Tang Huan discovered that there seemed to be quite a few of these round holes, and the ants in front of her all rushed in without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, the giant ant beneath Tang Huan also brought him into the cave.
This round cave was like stone, but not stone, like jade, but not jade. It continuously emitted a white luster, causing the inside of the cave to not be dark at all. Instead, it seemed rather bright. Moreover, after entering the cave, it began to climb upwards at an angle, so there was no need to worry about the water outside pouring into the round cave.
The material that formed the cave wall was extremely special. When Tang Huan's mind seeped in, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. No wonder it could block his senses.
Tang Huan sighed with emotion in her heart.
The ants moved forward quickly. After only a few thousand meters, this round hole merged with another round hole. The ants that rushed in from the two round holes also gathered together, and then quickly ran through the wider passageway. After another few thousand meters, the second gathering appeared, and then the third, the fourth …
The larger they were, the larger the round hole became, and the group of ants also became larger.
Tang Huan's mind had already followed the passage and extended inward, and he already had a good understanding of this area. This kind of round hole and ant colony gathering was constantly happening in the vicinity, and after the ninth gathering, the horizontal circular passageway also began to appear, connecting the rest of the passageways.
Not only that, there were also new tunnels that led downwards and upwards, and the tunnel that Tang Huan was in, turned and extended forward.
The appearance of a large number of new tunnels caused the already enormous ant colony to begin to split up.
This maze-like area was obviously the nest of the ant colony.
Tang Huan had already captured the existence of the few Heavenly King Ants. They had already entered the deepest part of the nest, and were about a few hundred kilometers away from Tang Huan. However, the results of the investigation surprised Tang Huan. In that place, there were not only six Heavenly King Stage ants, but two more.
Of the two new ones, one had an aura that was comparable to the ant king, and had also reached the standard of a middle level Heavenly King. Perhaps it was the queen of this ant colony, and the other one was similar to the other five ants, all of them looking like a lower level Heavenly King … The number of Sky Marquis Ants should have increased by a lot as well.
"Huh?"
In the blink of an eye, Tang Huan exclaimed in surprise.
The ant that carried him did not continue to go deeper and meet up with the ant king and queen. Instead, it entered a circular passageway that led upwards. This passageway extended for several thousand meters before splitting into two. One continued forward, while the other made a turn and headed outside.
There were dozens of ants who made the same choice.
Tang Huan discovered that all of these giant ants had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Sky Marquis Realm. Other than the eight Heavenly Kings, they could all be considered experts in the ant colony. Tang Huan had a guess that these giant ants might be equivalent to the soldier ants in an ordinary ant colony.
Not long after, another long passageway appeared in front of him.
