C2268 Again the Black Armored Ant
C2268 Again the Black Armored Ant
The distance between him and Wang Xian was getting shorter and shorter. After a few more minutes, he suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet again. This time, Jiang Fann was completely sure that it was not an illusion.
Jiang Fann took out Wang Xian's Spirit Attached Jade and injected it into the Spiritual Sense.
"Did you feel the ground shake?"
Wang Xian then replied, "Everything is as usual."
"Then pay attention, we'll meet as soon as possible!"
This time, Jiang Fann did not hesitate and continued to move forward. No matter what the shock was, before he figured it out, it was not wrong to meet up with Wang Xian first.
As he moved faster, the shock appeared again a few minutes later, and this time, it was even more obvious than before.
This time, Jiang Fann vaguely felt a divine sense sweep across his body. Although it was only a flash, it made him feel a little wary. Basically, he was sure that it was some kind of life that caused the shock.
Jiang Fann did not stop. Not long after, the vibration appeared again, this time even stronger than before.
Jiang Fann frowned as he looked at the ground under his feet.
"Could it be that I'm the target? Hunting?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fann suddenly felt something pierce through the ground.
It was something that looked like a spear. It flashed with a cold light and moved at an incredible speed, heading straight for his waist.
Jiang Fann was already on guard, and immediately responded. His body glowed with a golden light as he grabbed towards that thing.
He had already seen the spear-like thing clearly. It was actually the claw of some insect-like life form. As soon as he touched it, he could instantly feel its power. It was extremely shocking.
However, Jiang Fann's strength was not weak either. Combined with the Great Arts of Five Elements, he displayed an extremely powerful attack method and instantly grabbed onto the claw. The two of them fought, and Jiang Fann had the upper hand.
This thing's ability to hide its aura underground wasn't weak, but after touching it, Jiang Fann added his Spiritual Sense to its body. His eyes jumped, and a trace of joy flashed across his eyes.
"Come out!"
Jiang Fann suddenly exerted his strength, and his feet almost sank into the ground. However, he forcefully pulled the insect out of the ground.
The metallic light was actually a black ant that was more than three meters long. Its strength was astonishing.
"Such a large Black-Armored Ant! Its strength is already no weaker than that of an ordinary Body Training Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Dharma Stage. If a large group of them were to surround and attack us, it would be quite troublesome!"
Jiang Fann muttered to himself, and then the Heaven Burning Fire lit up in his hand. Together with the Great Arts of Five Elements, he directly burned off the front leg of the Black Armored Ant, stored it into the Hundred Treasures Bag, and then kicked it away. He did not continue to chase after it.
The Black-Armored Ant spun in place, then began to dig rapidly into the ground. In the blink of an eye, it sank into the ground, its aura vanishing.
The aura of the Xuan Huang Earth gathered around Jiang Fann's body. He went straight to the place where the black armored ant had disappeared and went underground. Soon, a tunnel leading to the underground appeared in front of him. About ten meters down, an underground tunnel that was nearly two meters high appeared in front of Jiang Fann.
A few crawling black ants in the distance seemed to sense his presence and began to creep toward him.
After suppressing his aura, Jiang Fann did not stay where he was. He tunneled into the ground and quickly moved towards the surface. He did not plan to stay in the underground passage for too long.
After arriving at the surface, Jiang Fann quickly left.
"I knew that the inheritance left behind for pharmacists wouldn't just be the Spiritual Strength inheritance. Looks like there should be a good harvest here. For such a powerful Black Armored Ant, the queen ant inside shouldn't be very weak. It should have a large amount of Universal Soil, I can't miss it!"
Just as Jiang Fann was thinking, Wang Xian's figure appeared in the distance and ran straight towards him.
She looked at Jiang Fann.
"Did you run into trouble just now?"
"There's a nest of Black-Armored Ants down here. I've already left my mark around here, and when I meet up with Ling'er and the others, I'll find a way to get some benefits from them."
"Black Armored Ants? Are there such creatures in the Nine Heavens?"
Jiang Fann nodded: "Of course there is, and their queen ant is the best way to obtain Universal Soil, but this should be very difficult to deal with. The four of you don't have to take risks with me. Your top priority is to find the Spiritual Strength inheritance as soon as possible and try to raise your cultivation as soon as possible."
Hearing him say that, Wang Xian couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"I haven't come across any inheritances like this in the past half a day. It seems that it won't be so easy for me to step into the Dao Understanding Stage..."
Jiang Fann laughed: "Even if you don't have an inheritance, with your talent, it won't be a problem for you to catch up to those geniuses in the last nine days. But you don't have to worry, I will help you find as many inheritances as possible."
Wang Xian clearly still remembered what happened before.
"If it wasn't for the fact that the difference in cultivation realm between me and them is a little big, I could have done it myself."
"I know your methods, but let's meet up with them first. We'll talk about the rest later."
Wang Xian nodded and did not say anything else as she followed Jiang Fann.
Jiang Fann felt Ling'er and the others' current location. It was about half a day's journey away. They were still searching and collecting spiritual herbs along the way, so they weren't moving very fast.
He still took out Ling'er's Spirit Attached Jade, feeling the need to remind them that there might be a huge nest of black armored ants underground. The area covered was uncertain, so they were prepared.
Four hours later, the ground shook slightly again. Jiang Fann knew what was going on because of his previous experience.
Wang Xian, who was beside him, also had a very strong perception. She instantly noticed the slightest change.
She whispered, "Is this the vibration you were talking about?"
Jiang Fann nodded. "It's the black armored ants underground. Our moving footsteps should have attracted their attention. They should have regarded us as prey, but I didn't expect there to be black armored ants so far away. I wonder if they came from the same ant nest."
As the two of them chatted, the front legs of the black ant suddenly pierced through the ground like a spear and stabbed towards Jiang Fann, just like the previous one.
This time, Jiang Fann did not hesitate at all. He directly hit his front leg with the Heaven Burning Fire, ignited it, and then used the absolute power to forcefully break it.
He then put away his broken forelimb, and let the black armored ant escape. He did not chase after it.
Wang Xian frowned slightly when she felt the attack that the Black Armored Ant had just released.
"The combat strength of this Black Armored Ant is probably close to that of a Body Tempering Cultivator of the Dao Understanding Stage, right?"
"Something like that, but not much intelligence. It's all instinct, but there are a lot of them in the anthill, and they're not the strongest of the Black-Armored Ants, so it's best not to provoke them. If there's an ant swarm, it'll be a disaster for the creatures of this little world."
Wang Xian said snappily: "I didn't expect that my current combat strength is about the same as a reptile's..."
Right at this moment, a light suddenly appeared beside Wang Xian, followed by the appearance of the Nine-Colored Spiritual Deer.
It came to Wang Xian's side and squatted down, indicating for Wang Xian to ride on it. Its eyes were filled with joy and anxiety.
Seeing its reaction, Wang Xian said to Jiang Fann, "It seems to have discovered something."
The Nine-Colored Spiritual Deer was a special spirit beast. It had an extremely high perception and was born with a high amount of luck. It was definitely not a bad thing.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look!"
Wang Xian nodded, then jumped up, and extended her hand towards Jiang Fann, inviting him to ride with her.
Jiang Fann didn't hesitate and directly jumped up. Just as Jiang Fann was about to sit behind Wang Xian, he saw the nine-colored spiritual diagram suddenly raise its leg and kick towards him. This guy obviously still had a grudge.
However, how could Jiang Fann fall for it so easily? With a light tap, the relay was suspended in the air for a moment.
The nine-colored deer missed its target and lost its chance.
However, it was obvious that this fellow did not want to carry Jiang Fann. His entire body glowed with light as he carried Wang Xian and turned into a nine-colored light, flying into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Fann wasn't angry. He sensed Wang Xian's aura and chased after her.
The nine-colored deer was still very fast, especially in such an environment. With the help of the surrounding Spiritual Strength, it was as fast as the wind.
Jiang Fann didn't follow too far behind, but after walking through the forest for ten minutes, he suddenly realized that there was a strong aura of life in front of him, which was obviously different from the surrounding Spiritual Strength.
Because he had the Natural Aura and the Longevity Treasure Robe, he was very sensitive to the aura of life.
Soon, a tree with a diameter of more than ten meters came into view. Vines hung down from the crown of the tree and pierced into the ground.
At this moment, the nine-colored spirit deer was constantly moving between the vines. Finally, it stopped directly under the giant tree.
It looked up, and Wang Xian looked in the direction of its gaze, only to see that there was actually a wooden house hidden in the crown of the tree. It was already completely surrounded by vines, but the wooden house was emitting a very strong Spiritual Strength, and it was not just the aura of life.
Jiang Fann came to the bottom of the tree, and the nine-colored spirit deer decisively turned into a ray of light and disappeared. It was obvious that it didn't want to be taken care of by Jiang Fann.
Looking up at the wooden house on the tree, Jiang Fann didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed Wang Xian by the waist and flew her towards the top of the tree.
"It seems that the Nine-Colored Spiritual Deer is still a bit useful. This should be an inheritance. According to the Spiritual Strength I sensed, this inheritance is far better than the ones in the first area of the trial. I'll help you open and guard it."
As he spoke, Jiang Fann had already brought Wang Xian to the top of the tree. Although the wooden house was wrapped in vines, one could still vaguely see the array patterns carved on the wooden house. At this moment, they were running and were not ordinary.
Wang Xian, on the other hand, could not wait any longer and walked straight towards the wooden house.
However, just as she was a few meters away, a few vines suddenly wrapped around her from different directions.
However, before she could even touch Wang Xian, she was ignited by a few balls of flames and quickly retreated.
Of course, it was Jiang Fann who attacked. His Fire Arts had a strong restraining effect on these kinds of creatures, so it wasn't difficult to deal with.
Wang Xian obviously trusted Jiang Fann very much, and didn't even respond much. It was obvious that she only had eyes for the wooden house and was looking forward to the inheritance inside.
