In the jade slip titled "The Art of Expelling Insects", there is a detailed description of demonic insects such as blood-eating ants. Although they can only rank at the bottom among spiritual insects, they are extremely easy to train and reproduce rapidly.

The advantage is that a large population can be formed in a short period of time. Although the attack power is not strong, when the enemy is outnumbered, it can trap the opponent and gain the opportunity and time to escape.

At that moment, Yannuo made some calculations in his mind. He had the spirit beast bag he got from Senior Ming Zhenzi in his hand. The "Insect Control Technique" recorded the living habits and feeding methods of this insect. It would be better to tame some blood-eating ants, and this insect

Feeding blood ants is simple, you only need to add some blood and flesh of monster beasts every day.

Since the blood-eating ants appear here, the nest should be on the ground not far away. I promised to carefully search for the blood-eating ant's nest within a radius of more than ten miles.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and most of the spirit insects and monsters had returned to their lairs.

Yannuo used the Wind Control Technique and used his spiritual consciousness to search carefully within a radius of ten miles. Finally, when the sky turned white the next day, he discovered the location of the ant nest.

On a sunny slope, there are dozens of mounds standing, five of which are distributed in a pentagonal shape and are extremely tall. According to the description of the living habits of blood-devouring ants in the jade slips, those mounds are the nests of blood-devouring ants.

Not far from the mound, Yan Nuo fell down and thought for a long time. It was difficult to deal with such a large population of blood-eating ants. If these insects were alerted, it would be extremely difficult to escape. If you were not careful, you would be killed by the insects.

While he was thinking about it, his eyes fell on a mound of more than three feet not far from him. It seemed to be a place where blood-eating ants had just broken out of their nest. There were a few red ants at the exit of the mound under the morning sun.

Giant ants were busy coming in and out. If you looked closely, what could they be if they weren't blood-eating ants? You couldn't help but feel happy secretly.

Gently walked to the mound and put his consciousness into the ant nest. He could clearly feel the busy scene inside the hemorrhagic ant nest. The worker ants were busy feeding the young ants, and some hemorrhagic ants were at the entrance of the cave.

Guarded, the queen ant quietly lays eggs on the bottom layer of the ant nest, and the king ant quietly waits beside the queen. The workers coming and going bring the eggs laid by the queen into the ant chamber where they hatch.

After careful counting with his spiritual consciousness, there are more than five hundred ants in this nest together with the newly hatched ants.

Yannuo used his spiritual sword, separated the entire ant nest five feet underground without disturbing the ant colony, and put it into the spirit beast bag.

Done!

Just as he was about to escape from the wind, he found three rays of light coming towards him from the horizon.

Foundation-building monks! What are they doing here? Yannuo couldn't help being startled. He quickly jumped into the newly dug ant nest, covered himself with some branches, leaves and grass, suppressed his breath, and looked out with his eyes.

.

During the tea time, three figures fell on the hill, and only one person said: "Fellow Daoist Li! This is the nest of blood-devouring ants. Is the 'Nine-leaf Zhi' you mentioned located here?"

"That's right! I passed by here a few days ago and found three 'Nine-leaf Zhizhi' plants in the middle of the five piles of ant nests. Because I was in a hurry at the time, I didn't have time to dig them out." The voice sounded like that of an older man.

of monks.

"These blood-devouring ants are extremely difficult to deal with. Those 'Nine-leaf Zhi' plants are probably extremely difficult to dig out even if you and I work together!" said the voice of a middle-aged monk.

Yan Nuo looked through the leaves and saw an old monk with white hair and beard leading two middle-aged monks towards the blood-devouring ant nest. Judging from the fluctuations of the spiritual power of the three of them, they were all foundation-building monks.

, among them, the old man has the most profound cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Wang! Fellow Daoist Qian! The three of you and I are all monks in the foundation-building stage, and the Nine-leaf Zhizhi is an indispensable medicinal material for refining the 'Spirit-enhancing Pill'! I don't think you two Taoist friends will stop at building a foundation in this life."

"Ji, in a hundred years the body will die and turn into a handful of loess?" The old man who built the foundation looked around at the two of them.

After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, couldn't help but swallow the liquid, and immediately said: "I wonder how Fellow Daoist Li will take the spiritual herbs?"

The old man who built the foundation laughed and said, "After this is done, each of you and I will have a Nine-leaf Zhizhi plant! When Li came to Daze to collect spiritual herbs last time, he accidentally discovered these three spiritual herbs. At that time, Li was in mid-air.

Observation shows that these spiritual grasses grow in a hidden environment and are protected by numerous blood-eating ants. Judging from their appearance, they must be at least two thousand years old. The medicinal power contained in them will definitely help increase the cultivation level of monks in the foundation building period.

If you take this Nine-leaf Zhizhi and make it into elixir, the chance of improving the elixir formation will be much greater!"

The old man's words made the two people's minds start to move.

The old man glanced at the expressions of the two of them: "Yesterday, Li saw a group of disciples of the Yuxiao Sect practicing around here. I spread more than ten handfuls of strange salivation incense here. This strange salivation fragrance can stimulate blood-eating ants.

Appetite lures these blood-eating ants out of their holes to look for food. Those who are in the way have been scared away by the blood-eating ants. Just now, the two Taoists on the road saw the bones of the monsters within a radius of more than ten miles. They are all these blood-eating ants.

The blood-eating ants not only eat but also have the habit of collecting food. I think they won’t be out and about in the next two days, so it will be much more convenient for us to take the spiritual grass!"

"Zombie!" Yan Nuo cursed in his heart. Yesterday, the ant colony was rampant and he almost lost his life. It was this old guy who was causing trouble! I don't know if any disciples of our sect were injured or killed in the ant colony yesterday. Are they safe now?

Escape.

The old man surnamed Li took out a set of formation disks and formation flags from his storage bag: "This set of five square formations was specially made by the formation master when I went back for the five ant nests in the middle.

Li will preside over the formation, and one of the two Taoist friends will go to the middle of the ant nest to collect the spiritual herbs, and the other will respond in the air to prevent the blood-eating ants escaping from the formation from attacking the people collecting the herbs."

Having said that, the foundation-building monk surnamed Li rose into the sky, placed the formation flags around the ant nest, took out the formation disk, and placed the spirit stones in the formation disk. Suddenly, a layer of restrictions like water patterns covered the ant nest.

above.

The monk surnamed Li said: "Fellow Daoist Wang! You go to the middle of the ant nest to collect the spiritual grass. Don't cut the roots of the spiritual grass." He took out three jade boxes from the storage bag and said, "Li found these specially.

The spirit-sealing jade box that stores elixirs, the elixirs stored in them will not lose any medicinal properties for a hundred years, and the Taoist friends will put them into this jade box after collecting the elixirs!"

After speaking, he handed it to the monk surnamed Wang out of thin air and then turned around and ordered: "Fellow Daoist Qian is protecting Daoist Wang in the air! Please pay attention to any blood-devouring ants that break out of the formation and kill them immediately to prevent them from attacking Friend Wang!"

"Okay! The two of us will go to the formation to collect the spiritual grass!" The two of them clasped their fists and entered the formation through the wind. A cold light flashed in the eyes of the old man named Li Ji Zhu.

The foundation-building monk surnamed Wang escaped into the center of the formation and carefully collected the Nine-leaf Zhizhi. Just as he took the first branch, he heard an extremely dull "buzzing" sound, but saw the person who was suppressed under the formation.

In the ant nest, countless blood-eating ants surged out and tried to rush out, but they were all suppressed by the formation.

"Fellow Daoist Wang! Speed ​​up!" the old man couldn't help but urge.

"Fellow Daoist Wang! This spiritual grass cannot destroy the roots! Otherwise, the spiritual power and medicine will be greatly damaged!" the monk surnamed Qian reminded in mid-air.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoists! I, Wang, will do my best!

Not long after, the first nine-leaf mushroom was taken out, and the ant colony under the formation became even more turbulent. Some blood-devouring ants had already emerged from the soil outside the formation.

The old man named Li Ji Zhu added a spiritual shield to himself and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Qian! Help Daoist Wang to protect the law quickly, the blood-eating ants have already flown out!"

The monks surnamed Qian and monks surnamed Wang also added a spiritual shield to themselves, but at this time, the number of blood-eating ants in the sky continued to increase, and they rushed towards Qian and Wang.

The monk surnamed Wang used several flying knives to fly in the air, instantly killing all the blood-eating ants around him. However, more blood-eating ants came out of the ground and surrounded them. On the side of the monk surnamed Wang,

After digging out the spiritual grass, he also took out a spiritual weapon from the storage bag and flew it in mid-air to protect himself.

More and more blood-eating ants flew in mid-air, gradually forming a blood-red cloud of insects, which shone with blood-red light under the sunlight, making it look extremely coquettish.

At this time, the monk surnamed Wang dug out the second spiritual grass Nine-leaf Zhizhi, and the corpses of blood-eating ants killed by the three people's spiritual weapons were piled up on the ground several fingers thick, and the insect cloud in the sky was also a few thinner.

point.

Yannuo looked at it from a distance and was horrified. This was the strength of a monk in the foundation-building stage. If it were a disciple in the Qi-refining stage, he would have turned into a pile of bones.

The blood-eating ants moved through the land extremely fast. Although the exit on the ground was blocked by the formation, they tried their best to find an exit from under the soil. Obviously, the actions of these uninvited guests disturbed their tranquility, although the cave

There is still blood food inside, but the monks outside are still stealing the spiritual herbs they protect, making the blood-devouring ants even more frantic.

There were more and more blood-eating ants flying in the sky, and the red cloud of insects swarmed towards the three of them like red water.

Seeing this, Brother Li Zhuji couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Two fellow Taoists, this is not the time to hide your clumsiness. You and I will use our own methods. If we persist for a while, we will get this spiritual herb." After saying this, he offered sacrifices from the storage bag.

He produced a set of flying needle spiritual weapons and sacrificed them in mid-air.

The corpses of blood-devouring ants falling on the ground are accumulating thicker and thicker, while more and more blood-devouring ants are protruding from the soil outside the formation, and the cloud of blood-colored ants in the sky is getting thicker and thicker.

At this time, after the monk surnamed Qian put the last nine-leaf mushroom into the storage bag, the three of them couldn't help but feel happy when they saw it. While the monk surnamed Li smiled, his eyes flashed with a vicious look.

None of the three people knew that there were hundreds of blood-eating ants as big as a palm under the formation at this time, struggling to crawl out from the restricted soil.

When the two monks Wang and Qian saw that they had obtained the spiritual grass, they fought hard to disperse the cloud of ants surrounding them. They cupped their hands in front of the old man surnamed Li and said, "Thanks to Fellow Daoist Li for the great formation..."

Before he finished speaking, something unexpected happened, and he saw that the five-party formation suddenly changed drastically, and another prohibition was issued to cover the two monks named Wang in the formation.
Chapter completed!
