Half an hour later, everyone had reached three hundred miles underground of the ant demon's lair.
According to some warriors who are familiar with the road, the deepest part of Lingxi Swamp is conveniently above their heads, and more than two hundred miles further, they can walk out of the ant demon's nest and reach the ruins.
Zhou Yuan and Fan Changchun were killing each other all the way, following the stone powder scattered on the ground as their route. They did not dare to take other roads for fear of getting lost.
And the nearly five thousand people behind them followed them without any idea.
At this time, Zhou Yuan became more and more suspicious, because when they came here, they could no longer see the warriors from the twelve forces. You must know that those warriors were all in the Dragon Spirit realm, and they were the ones leading the way.
However, at this moment, they were allowed to find their own way, and the ant demon was left to them, but he did not help.
Zhizhi...
At this time, the screams of the father ants became more and more shrill, as if they were somewhere beside everyone, but they were hidden in the darkness and no one could find them.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan felt that it was getting hotter and stuffier because he went too deep underground.
In some extremely deep places, you can even see boiling magma.
"Have you noticed that the number of ant demons does not seem to be as large as before?" Hong Lie said while breathing heavily.
Fan Changchun nodded, "Indeed, but we are getting closer to Father Ant."
"Hey, you guys should hurry up and kill me. I'm still in a hurry to enter the ruins." A harsh voice came from behind, it was Yin Chaonian from Yanzhuo Gate.
He followed me all the way without making much effort, but at this moment he was acting strangely, which really made people angry.
At this moment, several people are taking the lead in the charge, but they are all involuntarily. If it were not for their own safety, who would care about the lives of these people behind them.
Zeng Miaoyu didn't say anything, but the violent Hong Lie couldn't stand it anymore. He turned to Yin Chaonian and roared: "Boy, if you dare to say one more nonsense, I will throw you into the pile of ant demons."
Zhou Yuan also had a cold look in his eyes and glanced at Yin Chaonian. He had already given his younger brother Yin Qixiu face by allowing Yin Chaonian to follow him. If the other party dared to make noise again, he would not mind teaching him a lesson.
Seeing Hong Lie's furious look, Yin Chaonian immediately shut his mouth.
It's not that he is afraid of Hong Lie, but he also knows that in a place like this, if there is internal strife between the two parties, it will not be good for anyone.
Yin Chaonian just lost his temper and complained.
Everyone said no more and continued to move forward.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan suddenly slowed down.
Upon seeing this, Hong Lie and Zeng Miaoyu immediately slowed down. Fan Changchun followed Zhou Yuan and asked, "Is there any danger?"
Yin Chaonian looked impatient and said: "What's wrong? This is making a fuss. Keep walking."
"Yes, there is danger. As a beast master, you should have sensed it, right?" Zhou Yuan ignored Yin Chaonian and looked at Fan Changchun and said.
When they heard that there was danger, everyone held their breath and their breath gradually spread.
"That's right, the ants must be approaching. They have been following us all the way without attacking, but at this moment, they are preparing to attack." Fan Changchun looked at Zhou Yuan, his eyes lit up, and he continued with a smile.
: "Brother Zhou Yuan, if my guess is correct, you are also a beast master. Even if you are not a beast master, you still have some understanding of the art of beast control."
The spirit of a beast master is stronger than that of ordinary people, and he has practiced the art of beast control, and his sense of earth spirit beasts is extremely sensitive.
At this time, Zhou Yuan and Fan Changchun sensed that Father Ant was quietly approaching, which is enough to show that Zhou Yuan also had the same sense as Fan Changchun.
Behind her, Jiang Ziyue looked surprised, "What? Zhou Yuan also knows the art of controlling beasts?"
As an old friend, Jiang Ziyue knew Zhou Yuan very well. Through the information she had collected before, she knew that Zhou Yuan was a swordsman, an alchemist, and a talisman master. Now she also learned that he was a beast control master.
Jiang Ziyue had to be shocked.
It is already very difficult for a warrior to practice one path throughout his life.
But Zhou Yuan has dabbled in all of them, and he hasn't delayed his cultivation, which is a bit incredible.
If Zhou Yuan is really talented and intelligent, Jiang Ziyue will feel regretful.
"What a beast master, I just know a little bit about it." Zhou Yuan said this, without admitting that it was his habit to reserve something when facing someone he did not completely trust.
"That's good. If you know a little bit, you can have such a perception. This shows that you have the potential to be a beast master."
Fan Changchun said with a smile.
"Maybe." Zhou Yuan nodded.
At this moment, the Phantom Sea Star Blue Bracelet was still wrapped around Zhou Yuan's hand. He flipped over with his other hand and took out the Condensing Fire Sword.
Everyone also became alert and looked in all directions.
Yin Chaonian also immediately took out his weapon and looked around.
Zhizhi...
The rat-like cry was extremely harsh, forming sound waves that were transmitted, causing the surrounding rock walls to vibrate, and stones falling off above the head.
"They have appeared. They are really going to attack. Everyone, be careful." Zhou Yuan said immediately.
At this time, Fan Changchun waved his hand and took away the few praying mantises that were clearing the way. Then he took out another box and threw it out, and five blue praying mantises jumped out.
The praying mantis just now was only green, but now it is blue, and it is a bit bigger than the praying mantis just now.
To face the ant demon, Fan Changchun had to take out the more powerful mantis.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sound of breaking wind came one after another, coming from all directions, making everyone panic, and they secretly thought that something was wrong. Could it be that they had entered the ant nest?
But then, in the darkness ahead, several figures as tall as half a man crawled over.
Their whole bodies are dark red, and they look crystal clear, like gems, but they still have faint stripes on their bodies. Except for their size and color, they are similar to ordinary ant demons.
Sure enough, as Zhou Yuan and Fan Changchun thought, there was not just one ant father here, but at least three or five.
They approached quickly, causing everyone to panic.
It is said that the ant fathers are all at the peak of the ninth level of the spirit transformation realm. Compared with humans in the same realm, they are stronger because they move very fast, their bodies are hard, and the pliers in their mouths are extremely sharp, making them extremely dangerous.
"Father Ant." Yin Chaonian's expression suddenly changed, revealing a hint of fear.
The ant fathers came closer, but they did not rush to attack. They seemed to be circling with everyone, looking for a breakthrough. Everyone could only see half of their bodies.
"So these are the father ants. They seem to be very intelligent."
"Tch, if you don't have wisdom, how can you be an ant father, how can you conquer a queen ant and give birth to those children and grandchildren?"
"That makes sense."
Behind him, some warriors also saw Ant Father and started talking.
Zhou Yuan, Fan Changchun and others stood closest to the ant father, staring at each other vigilantly, and also dealing with each other.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a father ant took steps and rushed towards everyone in an instant. But soon, it was fighting with the five mantises. What surprised everyone was that this father ant was indeed extremely powerful.
One can fight five.
However, the five praying mantises were not for nothing, and they directly forced the ant father to retreat.
puff!
Zhou Yuan threw out the Phantom Starfish Blue Bracelet, and from another direction, it hit the ant father's body in an instant without anyone noticing. With a dull sound, the ant father was cut into two parts, his body and buttocks.
separation.
But despite this, the ant father was still alive, but his attack power was reduced by half, and he was torn into pieces by five mantises.
Zhizhi...
At the moment when the ant father died, the ant fathers behind him who had never acted rashly seemed to have found the opportunity, and they turned into afterimages and rushed towards everyone.
This sudden attack also made Zhou Yuan instantly see clearly that the opponent did not only have three or five, but at least ten.
The ten father ants rushed towards everyone, making everyone's hair stand on end.
Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed and he looked at a father ant rushing toward him. He did not hesitate and rushed forward with the Condensing Fire Sword in hand.
"kill!"
Hong Lie roared and charged towards the other ant father with two axes.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yuan, Hong Lie, Zeng Miaoyu and Fan Changchun all faced an ant father respectively.
As for the other ant fathers, they all rushed towards others.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan's side was fine. The four of them coordinated with each other and were able to do it with ease. However, other places suddenly became chaotic. Many people were killed by Father Ant with just one cover. The sharp pliers were invincible, and some were killed by the Ant Father.
They were cut into two pieces at the waist, and some had their heads cut off.
They walked aimlessly along the way, all placing their hopes on Zhou Yuan and others who were taking the lead. They did not pay too much attention to the approaching danger.
That Yin Chaonian was also targeted by a father ant and was forced to fight with him.
Because he relied on Zhou Yuan and others before, Yin Chaonian finally realized how terrifying Ant Father was when he really faced him.
Almost in an instant, ten father ants dispersed the team of hundreds of people in the front row. Many people died inexplicably before they could react. Some others reacted in time and took out their weapons to fight.
puff!
Zhou Yuan beheaded the adoptive father in front of him with one sword, and then looked at Hong Lie, Fan Changchun and others.
Hong Lie's ax fell, causing the earth to collapse and split an ant father in half. At the same time, a deep pit appeared under his feet. Fortunately, Hong Lie withdrew some of his strength, otherwise the place would have collapsed.
Zeng Miaoyu also killed a father ant after using his sword several times in succession.
Fan Changchun, he controlled five mantises and jointly besieged two ant fathers. After losing a mantis spiritual pet, he killed both ant fathers.
"Hurry up." Zhou Yuan shouted to the people who were fighting quickly.
The three people immediately stepped forward and continued to move along the passage. Behind them, everyone was fighting against the ant father while following in confusion.
But soon, three more ant fathers came out of the darkness and blocked everyone's way.
Zhou Yuan's steps faltered for a moment, then he said to Fan Changchun and the others: "You go first, I'll stop them."
"Are you sure?" Fan Changchun asked.
Zhou Yuan nodded, "It's just three ant fathers, it's a piece of cake."
It's not that he was bragging. After the battle just now, Zhou Yuan already knew their specific strength and believed that his own strength was more than enough to deal with the three father ants in front of him.
"Okay, let's open the way, you have to follow quickly." Fan Changchun said seriously.
"careful."
"careful!"
Hong Lie and Zeng Miaoyu also nodded solemnly to Zhou Yuan.
"Huh, Zhou Yuan, just wait and make bait for these three ant fathers. I'll take the first step." At the same time, Yin Chaonian also quickly followed up after killing a father ant with difficulty.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but show ridicule when facing the three father ants.
After taunting him, he didn't even look back and followed Fan Changchun and others directly.
Jiang Ziyue also followed. She glanced at Zhou Yuan, walked away without saying a word.
After Fan Changchun and others left, Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the three father ants at the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next moment, the three father ants suddenly let out a strange scream and rushed towards Zhou Yuan. Their plier-like mouths bit directly at Zhou Yuan's waist.
"Hmph." Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, and suddenly drew back his waist, and then the sword energy swirled around the sword energy, directly condensing into a sword force and slashing towards him.
With a pop, one of the ant fathers was cut into two pieces.
Zhou Yuan even took the initiative to launch an attack, turning into an afterimage and rushing towards the remaining two ant fathers.
One of the ant fathers squeaked twice, jumped up suddenly, and bit Zhou Yuan's head directly.
Zhou Yuan was suddenly startled and quickly crouched down to dodge.
At the same time, he raised his sword and stabbed the head, and the ant father was directly penetrated through the body.
Bang!
The next moment, Zhou Yuan was knocked out by another ant father. When he stabilized his body, he looked around and his expression suddenly changed.
He appeared at an intersection, and there were actually ten roads crossing here.
At this moment, Zhou Yuan could no longer see the warrior team, and even there were no traces of stone powder on the ground.
The absence of stone powder meant that the main road was lost, and Zhou Yuan was suddenly shocked.
