Of course, it would be a waste to use it as a piece of wood to make furniture for Ding Ning.
Apart from that, the Dragon-taming Wood was not only the best material for refining weapons, but it was also the best material for inscribing talismans. Most importantly, its bark could be used as a material for making scrolls after being processed.
The Dragon Taming Wood was also known as the Six Paths Wood. It was a Heavenly Treasure that had Dao Rhymes and Divine Runes on it. It had the strongest bearing capacity for arrays and was also a top-grade material that could be used as a carrier for arrays.
He had thoroughly studied the Teleportation Scroll that the Sacred Maiden Tribe traded with him. To be honest, the kind of teleportation array that could not be used to cross boundaries was not a problem for him at all. The only problem was the materials used to make the scroll.
A scroll that could carry a Space Teleportation Formation had a very high requirement on its carrying capacity. Although the skin of a Demon King level demonic beast could also be used as a scroll material, making a Teleportation Scroll would waste more than half of the demonic beast's skin, which made Ding Ning's heart ache.
Ding Ning was also reluctant to use the bark of the Dragon-taming Wood to make a scroll. It was a rare and precious item. How could he bear to use it to make a scroll?
Therefore, he had already thought of a solution. When tanning the skin of a Daemon King, he would add some bark to it to greatly increase the carrying capacity of the material. It would save him dozens of times more time than just using the skin of a beast or tree to make a scroll.
To be honest, if he had not found the Dragon-taming Tree here today, he would have gone to Mount Tai after the Warrior's Tournament and secretly scraped off some bark from the Dragon-taming Tree that was the only known location.
The Dragon-taming Tree on Mount Tai was about 17 meters tall and its trunk was more than a meter in diameter. Because there were no tree rings, it was impossible to determine its age. However, according to the locals, it was definitely an ancient tree that had lived for more than a thousand years.
The Dragon-taming Tree in front of him was at least a few hundred meters tall, and its trunk was no less than 20 to 30 meters in diameter. It was impossible to estimate how old it was.
Based on the fact that a tree trunk with a diameter of more than a meter meant that it was a thousand-year-old tree, this towering Dragon-taming Tree was at least tens of thousands of years old, or even hundreds of thousands of years old.
If this Dragon-subduing Tree was already old, its value would have dropped a lot. However, looking at its luxuriant branches and vigorous vitality, it was clearly in its prime. No matter what it was used for, it would be far more effective than a thousand-year-old ancient tree.
Therefore, at this moment, Ding Ning was completely immersed in a beautiful vision. He was drooling as he fantasized about how he could maximize the use of this ancient tree that had lived for god knows how many tens of thousands of years. As a result, he neglected the fact that a three-striped flying ant was sneakily flashing its golden stinger behind him, silently stabbing towards the back of his head like a cold venomous snake.
"Master, be careful."
Gold, who was leading the way, turned around by accident. When he saw this scene, he screamed.
Ding Ning did not understand what it was saying at all. But out of his intuition for danger, he instinctively tilted his head sideways.
Puff!
When the three-striped flying ant saw that it could not stab the back of Ding Ning's head, it decisively shot out its poisonous stinger and ruthlessly stabbed into Ding Ning's shoulder.
Ding Ning felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, followed by a strong numbness. He knew that he had been hit. This made him curse himself for being greedy and forgetting about the danger after seeing the Dragon-taming Tree. He did not maintain the necessary vigilance at all. How stupid.
Furious, he leaped forward and dodged the three-striped flying ant's second stinger. Without looking back, he headed straight for the Dragon-taming Tree.
He knew that the venom of these ants was very strange. It was very different from the venom on Earth. It would not be easy to concoct an antidote for it. Moreover, the three-striped flying ant was eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. It would not give him any time to concoct an antidote.
Therefore, he immediately chose to run for the Dragon-taming Tree. It should be known that the Dragon-taming Tree was a divine antidote. Even if it could not completely detoxify the poison of the three-striped flying ant, it could still easily delay the spread of the poison.
At this moment, he missed the mermaid Yiyi the most. If she was here, even if she could not detoxify the poison, she would still be able to suppress the speed at which it spread.
The three-striped flying ant seemed to have sensed his thoughts. It immediately chirped anxiously, as if summoning its companions to intercept him.
Sensing the anxiety in its chirping, Ding Ning was greatly reassured. The more this fellow was afraid of him getting close to the Dragon-taming Tree, the more it proved that the Dragon-taming Tree could detoxify the poison.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three golden rays suddenly flashed from the tree hole at the root of the Dragon-taming Tree. Three three-striped flying ants aggressively rushed out and blocked his path in a triangular formation. Without saying a word, they shot out three stingers towards his upper, middle, and lower body.
Unrivaled Beneath the Heavens!
Ding Ning's footsteps flashed, and his body turned into a series of afterimages. Without any delay, he leapt through the gaps between the three stingers. Without hesitation, he clawed at a large piece of the Dragon-taming Tree's bark. His hand was covered in milky white sap.
With a strange twist of his body, he used an extremely difficult movement that exceeded the limits of a human to twist his upper body into a fried dough twist. He pulled out the poisonous stinger from his shoulder and smeared the sap on his palm on the wound.
A refreshing feeling came over him, and the effect was immediate. His numb shoulder was filled with a clear stream, and he quickly regained his senses. Detoxification was actually this simple.
Ding Ning had never been so grateful to the old donkey. If the donkey had not taught him the Unrivaled Beneath the Heavens, he would not have been able to dodge the three stingers' attack so easily when his body was numb and his brain was slow.
All of this took a long time to describe, but it actually happened in an instant. When the four General Ants saw that he actually knew how to use the Dragon-taming Tree's sap to detoxify the poison, they immediately became enraged. Like maggots in tarsal bones, they turned into four golden rays of light and fiercely charged at Ding Ning.
"Grafting!"
When he was poisoned, Ding Ning was still somewhat afraid of them. Now that the poison had been detoxified, he would not be polite to them. With a loud shout, his figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood. In his place was a General Ant with a dumbfounded expression. It really could not understand why it had switched places with that hateful human.
"Hehe!"
Ding Ning laughed hideously. Taking advantage of the three General Ants beside him not being able to react, he grabbed one of them. He raised his hand and used a nail that was even sharper than a divine weapon to fiercely slash across its body.
A drop of blood gushed out. Ding Ning did not stop and forcefully signed the master-servant contract. He opened his palm and grabbed a General Ant that had just reacted, then forcefully signed the contract with another slash of his finger.
In the blink of an eye, two of the four General Ants had defected. The remaining two were shocked, angry, and confused. They could not understand how a comrade who had just been on the same side of the trenches had turned into an enemy in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Ding Ning let out a sigh of relief. He put the gold back into the pet space and his figure flashed again. He grabbed a General Ant that was fighting and continued to sign the master-servant contract.
The remaining General Ant immediately panicked. With a shake of its claws, it turned around and fled into the tree hole.
Ding Ning loved to beat a dog when it was down. How could he allow it to escape? His figure flashed and blocked its path like a ghost. He opened his palm and grabbed it, subduing it with ease.
Before he could ask about the situation in the tree hole in detail, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded. A Big Yellow Ant with four golden patterns on its body leaped out of the tree hole.
However, he did not expect that four Three-Bar Ants would instantly fall into a disadvantageous position when they surrounded a Four-Bar Ant. If it was not for the master-servant contract that forced them to struggle to hold on, they would probably have fled long ago.
No wonder they were called Combat Ants after evolving to four golden patterns. The combat power of an additional golden pattern was completely different from that of a Three-Bar Ant. It was not a contest of the same level at all.
The Four-Bar Ant was as fast as lightning and as agile as a swimming dragon. Its every move had the demeanor of a master, as if it was not an ant but a martial arts grandmaster. The four Three-Bar Ants were as vulnerable as kindergarteners in front of it. In the blink of an eye, they were covered in wounds. If it was not for the fact that it did not understand why they would betray its tribe and show mercy, they would have died by now.
"Back off, I'll do it!"
Ding Ning shouted in a deep voice, knowing that the Four-Bar Ants could completely understand him.
The four Three-Bar Ants hurriedly retreated as if they had been pardoned. The Four-Bar Ants did not chase after them. It hovered in the air and stared at Ding Ning as if it was facing a great enemy. It seemed to be able to tell that this human was not to be trifled with.
Ding Ning looked at the Four-Bar Ants with interest and used his mental power to communicate, "I know you can understand me. How about we talk?"
"Despicable human, there's nothing to talk about between us."
The Four-Bar Ants seemed to be very hostile towards humans and said with resentment.
Ding Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Do you want to see your tribe destroyed?"
"Enough. What else do you humans know other than using this to threaten us? If you have the ability, then we'll talk. "
The Four-Bar Ants shouted madly, and its stinger suddenly left its body and shot toward Ding Ning.
It was as fast as lightning. If it was a normal person, they would not be able to see the trajectory of the stinger at all. However, Ding Ning was different. With his Third Eye, the stinger's speed was as slow as a snail in his eyes. He unhurriedly reached out and slapped down. He actually wanted to catch the stinger with his bare hands.
A human-like look of mockery appeared on the four-striped man's face. With a whoosh, the second and third stinger shot out at twice the speed of the first stinger.
Ding Ning was shocked and had to quickly dodge to the side. After dodging the first stinger, his hands were enshrouded in a layer of pure spiritual power, and he grabbed at the other two stingers from the left and right.
Just as he was about to grab the two stingers, he suddenly felt an evil wind behind his head. The strong sense of danger made him run far away without hesitation, leaving only an afterimage where he stood.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The three stingers almost stabbed into Ding Ning's body at the same time. Before the Four-Bar Ants could be proud, he realized that it was just an afterimage.
This unexpected scene caused the four bars to instinctively fly away from their original spots, causing Ding Ning's sneak attack to miss.
Before Ding Ning could be surprised, the three stingers suddenly appeared in front of him as if they had passed through space and shot toward him fiercely.
Ding Ning's figure flashed and disappeared again. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Four-Bar Ants. However, the Four-Bar Ants seemed to have expected this. It turned around and flew away again, causing his plan to fail again.
The three stingers drew a zigzag arc in the air and once again shot towards Ding Ning like maggots on a bone.
"F * ck, the Sword Manipulation Technique!"
Ding Ning shouted in shock. His figure flashed again and he disappeared into thin air, causing the Four-Bar Ants, who were fully on guard, to be stunned.
The three stingers lost their target and drew beautiful arcs in the air, like three sharp swords patrolling the territory.
Ding Ning hid in the air and showed a shocked expression. F * ck, the Four-Bar Ants could actually control the stingers to attack. This was already within the scope of the Sword Manipulation Technique. This was too f * cking unreal.
However, the more it was like this, the more excited Ding Ning was. This was his future little brother. The stronger his little brother was, the happier he would be.
Suddenly losing its target, the Four-Bar Ants also became nervous. The three stingers circled around its body to prevent Ding Ning from sneak attacking.
