C2269 Purple Beetle
C2269 Purple Beetle
Jiang Fann used the Fire Arts to force back some vines again, then said, "Let's open it."
He was obviously worried about the situation in the wooden house. He was confident that he could deal with it. After all, Wang Xian was much weaker than him.
Wang Xian turned around and hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head, her eyes firm.
"I can't rely on you for everything, right? I can do it."
Wang Xian was very strong-willed. Even Jiang Fann would not be able to influence what she had decided. After all, she had the bloodline of the Hundred Battles Clan in her body, and she had a strong personality.
Jiang Fann raised his hand and repelled a few more vines. Then, he nodded slightly at Wang Xian and did not say anything else.
Wang Xian did not hesitate, she turned around and pressed her hand on the door of the tree house, injecting her Spiritual Strength into it.
In the next moment, the tree house emitted a green light, and a strange Spiritual Strength directly enveloped Wang Xian within, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from Jiang Fann's sight.
At the same time, the vines that had surrounded him began to wither rapidly, turning into withered vines and losing all their vitality.
Under Jiang Fann's Divine Eye, he could clearly see that the Spiritual Strength of the giant tree was being continuously absorbed by the tree house, and the power of the inhibition on the tree house was continuously increasing.
He went forward and tried to use his Spiritual Strength to touch the treehouse, but then he felt that the power of the treehouse was far stronger than before, completely rejecting his Spiritual Strength. The feeling it gave him was completely different from before.
"It seems that this inheritance allows only one person to enter. I wonder if there is any danger..."
Jiang Fann hesitated for a moment, then tried to enter again. Unfortunately, he was still disturbed by the special Spiritual Strength. That Spiritual Strength did not come from the array, so it was difficult for Jiang Fann to force his way in.
He then released the Strength of Array Breaking, wanting to try and assimilate the Spiritual Strength above, but he discovered that the special Spiritual Strength had completely wrapped around the aura of the formation pattern. Even his Strength of Array Breaking found it difficult to pass through, not giving him the chance to break in at all.
Xiao Yu's voice sounded, "With your current ability, if you use the God Slaying Blade, you should be able to break through the power on it. In fact, this power is just the power of the tree. The tree itself is a spiritual object, so it's not strange for it to have some special methods. However, this place is a test and inheritance left behind by the ancestors. With that girl's talent, even if she can't pass the test, she shouldn't be in any danger, so you don't have to worry too much."
Jiang Fann understood what Xiao Yu was saying. Forcefully breaking open the tree house would likely affect Wang Xian's inheritance instead. Jiang Fann knew very well how much she wanted to break through, so he retracted the Spiritual Strength and did not make any further attempts.
He took out the Spirit Attached Jade and first sensed where Ling'er and the others were at this moment. He found that their range of movement was not very large. It seemed that the spirit herbs here were very attractive to them.
He took a few steps back and carefully observed the situation of the tree again. At this moment, it was difficult for him to feel the strange Spiritual Strength that he had felt before. Just as Xiao Yu had said, the Spiritual Strength of the tree was completely focused on the tree house.
Then, he left a mark on the branch and jumped down from the tree trunk. He did not stay here any longer. According to his calculations, this inheritance should not end in a short period of time. He wondered if Wang Xian would be able to successfully break through.
Jiang Fann planned to meet up with Ling'er and the others first. After all, this place wasn't as safe as it looked. If a swarm of such a large black armored ant erupted, it wouldn't be easy for Ling'er and the others to defend themselves with their current cultivation base.
After confirming their location, it was less than half a day's journey away.
On the other side, Ling'er and the other two were immersed in the joy of collecting spiritual herbs. Ling'er and Shen Meng were originally pharmacists, so Han Qianxue's research on spiritual herbs was no less than theirs. She could even identify some very rare and rare spiritual herbs one by one.
That was why the three of them weren't moving too fast.
Shen Meng had been observing the situation around her. They had already been warned by Jiang Fann that there were troublesome creatures like the black armored ants in this space. They had to be careful.
Both she and Han Qianxue had already stepped into the Dao Understanding Stage. At this moment, they were also seriously experiencing the changes brought about by the new realm. After all, this was also a new feeling for them. Their five senses and strength had increased in all directions, and their senses had become completely different.
Ling'er was not in a hurry to break through at all. Compared to her realm, she had always been more interested in alchemy. The herbs that filled the place almost completely attracted her attention.
In the evening, the sudden vibration of the ground made the three of them alert at the same time.
Shen Meng whispered to the two of them, "Come closer to me."
After saying that, a black jar appeared in front of her, emitting a faint purple light. Then she grabbed it.
Ling'er and Han Qianxue did not hesitate. They stood up and walked to Shen Meng's side, looking around vigilantly.
Shen Meng injected her Spiritual Strength into the jar, and then purple beetles crawled out of the jar one after another, quickly flying into the surrounding grass.
Very quickly, Shen Meng's body released a layer of faint purple light. The light enveloped the two people beside her, and their auras disappeared.
The ground shook again. A huge black armored ant broke out of the ground. Its big head kept looking around, but the three people not far away seemed to be out of his range of perception.
The grass around him began to glow with a purple light, and then beetles flew up from different directions and swarmed toward the black armored ant.
Gu Ling'er and Han Qianxue had serious expressions on their faces. They knew very well how difficult it was to deal with these black armored ants, and they had never seen such a large group before. If it was just one of them, it would not be much of a threat, but once they formed a group, it would definitely be terrifying.
However, the instant the purple beetles touched the black armored ants, the armor of the black armored ants started to emit black smoke and started to erode.
The seemingly unimpressive black armored ants started to gnaw on the black armored ants. The black armored ants shook their bodies in an attempt to throw the black armored beetles away, but it was all in vain.
Dozens of beetles arrived and landed on the black armored ant. Black smoke rose and the black armored ant struggled, but in a matter of seconds, dozens of holes appeared in its body.
He could see that Shen Meng was constantly releasing her Spiritual Strength. It could be seen that it was her Spiritual Strength that was maintaining the power of these poisonous beetles.
As the Black-Armored Ant began to lose its life, the ground began to shake again, this time more violently than before.
One giant Black-Armored Ant after another began to rush out of the ground and surround the one from before, their speed extremely fast.
Shen Meng frowned slightly and whispered to the two people beside her, "If there are only a few, it will be easy to deal with, but there will only be more and more of these things. My Purple Underground Beetles are not enough to deal with many black armored ants. Let's find an opportunity to leave this area first."
Of course Ling'er and the other girl knew the seriousness of the matter. They nodded slightly to show that they understood.
The Purple Underground Beetles left the black armored ant and flew towards the charging black armored ant. Although they were very small, they did not show any signs of weakness.
The black armored ants continued to appear from the ground, and the purple light was instantly devoured by the black armored ants.
Seeing this, Shen Meng retracted her Spiritual Strength and quietly retreated with the two of them.
The Spiritual Strength of the group of Purple Beetle continued to erupt, helping the three of them to attract the senses of the black armored ants. Only one of them flew up from the swarm and then left in the direction that Ling'er and the others had retreated.
Ten minutes later, Ling'er and the other two stopped by a huge rock in the forest.
Soon, a larger purple armor landed at Shen Meng's feet. She took out the jar from before and squatted down to put it away. Then she got up and put the jar away.
Ling'er said in a soft voice, "You lost so many Purple Underground Beetles."
Shen Meng shook her head gently. "It's fine, Sister Ling'er. The mother insect is still here. It will take some time to recover its numbers. It's just that the black armored ants are very difficult to deal with. They counter most of my Poison Arts, and your methods should also be very difficult to deal with. I hope they won't catch up so quickly."
Han Qianxue said, "It shouldn't be difficult to kill a few of them, but once creatures like the Black Armored Ants are reinforced, it seems as if there are no end to them. It's really troublesome."
"We can't be sure if it's safe here yet. Let's just wait for brother to come. He has a lot of methods to deal with these things."
Han Qianxue nodded, "I know that his pills can avoid these things."
Then, Ling'er took out the Spirit Attached Jade and told Jiang Fann about the situation here, reminding him to be careful.
Six hours later, as the sky darkened, Jiang Fann suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from afar, and the ground shook.
He looked in that direction with some doubt, because that was not where Ling'er and the others were. In fact, it was very far away from them.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Fann suppressed his aura and approached that direction, wanting to see what was going on there.
As he got closer, the ground kept shaking. Jiang Fann knew this feeling very well. Sure enough, not far away from him, black armored ants broke out of the ground one after another.
Just as Jiang Fann was about to attack, he realized that the black armored ants didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, they quickly crawled in the direction of the explosion. In the blink of an eye, dozens of them had appeared.
Jiang Fann didn't stop and continued to move forward. An aura from afar attracted his attention.
It was a slender human figure who was running towards the direction of the explosion while suppressing his aura.
"Looks like someone else came in."
Jiang Fann muttered to himself and then ran towards the direction of the explosion. He wanted to see the situation first.
Under a tree, Jiang Fann quickly climbed up. Then, he looked in the direction of the explosion and saw that a dense crowd of black armored ants was gathering at a single point. At this moment, there were already broken limbs of black armored ants all over the place. It could be seen that many black armored ants had been killed here.
Jiang Fann focused his attention and saw the guy there clearly. It was a burly man with two huge axes in his hands. His strength was not weak.
He could fight against the Black Armored Ants with just his physical body alone. Although he was injured, his life shouldn't be in danger for the time being.
