When Lin Ze returned to the open space in front of the cave, he was greeted by the awed and enthusiastic eyes of Du Rui and others.
The latter wanted to step forward to say thank you, but Lin Ze just waved his hand and took the spirit of the earth back.
Then he rode the stone-condensing dragon and left the cave.
Bloodline ant corpses are everywhere within a radius of a kilometer.
The smell of blood is strong and substantial.
It won't be long before a large number of insects and beasts are attracted.
It's better to stay away as soon as possible.
What's more, after a great battle, the sky has become slightly brighter.
It was almost dawn, and Lin Ze had no intention of sleeping.
Anyway, with his current physique and soul strength, it wouldn't be a big deal if he missed two or three days of sleep.
Looking at Lin Ze's retreating back, Du Rui sighed softly, feeling a little regretful that he could not get close to Lin Ze.
But he also knew that he and Lin Ze were from completely different worlds.
As long as he doesn't die prematurely and continues to grow smoothly, Lin Ze will definitely be promoted to a legendary beast master in the future.
Such a genius is beyond the reach of an ordinary beast master like him.
Shaking his head, Du Rui dispersed unnecessary distractions, turned around and called his companions to leave quickly.
...
Before flying very far, Lin Ze found the ferocious beast that was attracted by the smell of blood.
Looking down from a high altitude, with the cave as the center, thousands of insect beasts are surrounding from all directions.
Even many flying insect beasts were attracted from the sky.
Obviously if we leave half a step too late, we will inevitably fall into a new round of fighting.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Ze continued to fly towards the direction of the rift valley.
The appearance of bloodline ants made Lin Ze realize that something might have happened in the Rift Valley.
It would be fine if it were normal time. At worst, we would have to find another place to collect materials.
There are many similar places in the Secret of Ten Thousand Insects.
However, the appearance of the bloodline ant leader made Lin Ze change his attention.
Are there perhaps other bloodline ant leaders in the Rift Valley?
If his guess is accurate, then this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to earn the [Leader Hunter] achievement.
Even if it's only possible, it's worth Lin Ze's trip to the Rift Valley.
"In addition, the next achievement of the number of beasts killed should be reached soon."
Lin Ze looked thoughtful.
Achieving Ten Thousand Beasts Slaying was before enrolling in Ningjiang College.
From then to now, he has successively killed countless ferocious beasts in wilderness hunting and secret exploration.
Although I haven't calculated it specifically, I estimate it's not much different from 100,000.
No matter what, it should be 70-80% complete.
"While taking advantage of this trip to the secret realm, we may be able to complete this achievement as well!"
Lin Ze had some calculations in his mind.
Seeing that they were far away from the cave, Lin Ze let the stone-condensing dragon land back to the ground.
While continuing to walk to the Rift Valley, clean up the insects and beasts you encounter on the road.
The time in the secret realm is synchronized with the outside world.
Stop and go along the way.
When the sun was high at noon, Linze was less than ten kilometers away from the Rift Valley.
However, after climbing a slope, he suddenly found a fierce battle going on hundreds of meters ahead.
One side of the battle is densely packed with insect beasts.
It was the blood-threaded ant that we had just fought with last night.
The number is estimated to be in the thousands.
The other side is an adventurous team.
There were about fourteen or five people.
Compared to the terrifying size of the ant colony last night, thousands of bloodline ants are relatively small.
However, the adventuring team still had a trend that they couldn't resist.
Lin Ze glanced at it.
The strength of this group of adventurers is pretty good.
There are more than ten sixth-level pet beasts in the team alone.
When encountering a normal swarm of about a hundred insects, it is not easy to deal with it.
Unfortunately, the opponent this time is a bloodline ant colony with a scale of thousands.
Under the fierce offensive of the Bloodline Ants one after another, their defense line was already on the verge of collapse.
There is always a danger of collapse.
Without hesitating for too long, Lin Ze took action decisively and ordered Xiaoxue and the Stone-condensing Demonic Dragon to launch a surprise attack from behind.
After releasing several skills, a large number of bloodline ants fell down one after another like felled straw.
The ant colony suddenly became chaotic.
Upon discovering the appearance of reinforcements, the adventurers who were almost desperate immediately became energetic and took advantage of this opportunity to decisively launch a counterattack.
Suddenly, the chaos in the ant colony rapidly expanded.
Under attack from both front and back, the ant colony suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat.
Only the corpses of insects and beasts were left on the ground.
Watching the ant colony recede like a tide, Lin Ze couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
This is the hunting style of bloodline ant colonies under normal circumstances.
Once you discover that your hunting target is a hard-to-gnaw bone, immediately retreat without hesitation to avoid greater losses.
"Thank you, my friend!"
A tall man with a beard and a rough appearance walked over and interrupted Lin Ze's meditation.
He seems to be the leader of this adventurous team.
When he saw Lin Ze's overly young face, the big man couldn't help but be stunned.
But he quickly came to his senses and said with a grateful expression:
"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your help, we would definitely be here!"
Lin Ze waved his hand and said it didn't matter.
Then he asked again:
"What's going on with those bloodline ants?"
"We don't know for sure."
The big man sighed, looking a little confused as well.
"This is not the first time we have hunted around here, but we have never encountered a large-scale bloodline ant colony before. I guess something happened in the Rift Valley."
Lin Ze nodded slightly.
If last night's experience could be explained by coincidence, then the second discovery of a large number of blood-lined ants far away from the Rift Valley cannot be explained by a simple coincidence.
It is very possible that something happened in the Rift Valley.
With his thoughts turning rapidly, Lin Ze quickly came back to his senses. After dealing with the big man for a few words, he turned around and left with Xiaoxue and the Stone-condensing Demonic Dragon.
The adventurers were amazed by his vigorous and resolute behavior.
"This man is so young, he looks to be twenty years old at most."
"To have a seventh-level pet beast at such a young age is so awesome!"
"Could he be a direct descendant of a certain family of beast masters?"
"Probably!"
The adventurers discussed it enthusiastically.
At this moment, a doubtful voice suddenly sounded.
"Do you think...that person just now looks familiar?"
Everyone was slightly stunned.
After being reminded like this, they began to feel that the person just now seemed really familiar.
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, one of them seemed to remember something and exclaimed.
"I remembered! That person just now was Lin Ze!"
"Ah! I remembered it too!"
"Lin Ze? Which Lin Ze?"
"Idiot, who else can be the president of Ningjiang College this year?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
A young, seventh-level pet beast of the ice type, and a stone-condensing demon dragon.
Isn’t this Lin Ze’s trademark?
It's because they haven't recovered from the emotions of the aftermath, otherwise they should have recognized Lin Ze long ago!
"Oh my god, it was Lin Ze who saved us!"
"This is the first time I've seen him in person."
"I didn't expect that I am so handsome. He is my type!"
"Hey, I should have asked him for his contact information earlier!"
