Chapter 713: Toxic Anteater (Subscribe, Collect)
Black-striped ants can achieve twice the result with half the effort by relying on their numbers to detect and eliminate some poisonous insects and beasts that are not too powerful.
However, the weak body of black-striped ants compared to monsters of the same level is also one of their fatal flaws. Moreover, up to now, the third-level low-grade queen ant can only cultivate two third-level low-grade soldier ants in the current ant colony. Once encountering a strong enemy, a large number of low-level black-striped ants will have no way to resist.
Fortunately, with the promotion of cultivation, the queen ant has become more and more adept at controlling the black-striped ant colony. Once there is a large-scale death of black-striped ants, relatively clear information can be obtained through special means in the first time.
In this poisonous fog space, there are many poisonous insects and beasts that are capable of hunting black-striped ants, but there are not many that are capable of hunting on a large scale without any escape.
Even as a Jindan-stage cultivator, when the number of black-striped ants exceeds a thousand, it takes some means to kill them all at once.
Therefore, after noticing that a small scouting ant colony had completely lost its breath of life, Sun Mingsheng immediately warned them to avoid falling into the trap of the other party without any awareness.
"The appearance of a powerful poisonous beast proves that this road is correct. If it goes smoothly, Cui will worry that the map in his hand is a fake."
After being reminded, Cui Yuhuo not only did not show any fear, but instead looked eager to try, wanting to compete with the poisonous beasts in this space.
Treasures such as the Four Symbols Crystal and the Sun and Moon Crystal are definitely not ordinary spiritual objects. No matter where they are bred, they are usually in some real core areas and are guarded by powerful monsters.
As Cui Yuhuo said, since they are seeking such treasures, it is normal to encounter some powerful monsters. If they have never encountered any and have only relied on the black-striped ants to have a smooth journey, it will be a real trouble for the two.
With the strength of Sun Mingsheng and Cui Yuhuo, as long as they are careful, the threats of most poisonous insects and beasts are not too high.
"Huff huff huff"
As the two continued to move forward, a rather special sound came, as if it was the joy from the heart after a full meal.
"Is this anteater? But why is it dark purple all over? Is it a mutant species of anteater?"
What appeared in front of Sun Mingsheng and the others was a monster with a body length of nearly ten feet, a hard defense layer, a small head, extremely small eyes and ears, a tubular snout, a thin and long tongue rich in mucus, and retractable, densely haired tail, and wide black vertical stripes on both sides of the back.
This demon beast is slightly longer in length and color, similar to the common anteater. With a slight turn of its slender and flexible tongue with mucus and barbs, it can swallow a large number of black-striped ants into its stomach as the most delicious blood food that can help to promote cultivation.
Considering the length and appetite of the anteater itself, it needs to devour and refine at least tens of thousands of black-striped ants of different grades every day to meet its basic needs.
Although this poisonous fog space is full of spiritual power and has relatively sufficient ants of various types as food, there are very few pure ones like black-striped ants.
And from the rather transcendent expression of the anteater, it is obvious that it is in a relatively happy state after swallowing the black-striped ants in front of it.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, be careful. This is an extremely rare poisonous anteater, which was transformed from an anteater monster under extremely special circumstances."
As the external affairs elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Cui Yuhuo is knowledgeable and has basically determined the type of monster in front of him after a relatively rough observation of the anteater in front of him.
"Poisonous anteater? Is it because of the toxic living environment here?"
Sun Mingsheng frowned when he heard this. This poisonous fog space is full of toxins, which is quite unfavorable for cultivators. The poisonous anteater is like a fish in water, and can exert its own strength to the extreme. The impact caused by this increase and decrease cannot be underestimated.
"Hiss"
The poisonous anteater seemed to feel the emergence of a strange breath, and its long tongue covered with barbs was like a snake's tongue, constantly exploring the different tastes in the breath.
"Daoyou Sun, the poisonous anteater is good at defense and agile, and contains deadly and difficult toxins in its body. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Be careful to avoid falling into danger."
Before he finished speaking, Cui Yuhuo took the lead. The size of the magic weapon, which looked like a copper coin, suddenly increased, and went straight to the poisonous anteater.
The key is that the square hole in the middle of the copper coin increased several times, as if it was going to directly cover the tiny head and neck of the poisonous anteater, in order to limit its range of movement and sensitivity.
"Demon-subduing staff, go"
Sun Mingsheng naturally would not hold back, and he went all out as soon as he made a move, and the demon-subduing staff followed closely behind. Once the copper coin magic weapon shackled it, the demon-subduing staff could immediately exert its power like splitting mountains and cracking rocks.
"Hiss"
The anteater was suddenly attacked, but its huge body was quite flexible. Under the protection of a layer of mottled and solid defensive skin, the anteater's tail, which was seven points similar to a snake's tail, attacked from a distance, and hit the square-holed copper coin with great energy.
And before the demon-subduing staff really came, the anteater actually chose to flip over and fight with its slightly softer abdomen. A ray of light sprayed from its four short and powerful lower limbs, blocking the frontal attack of the demon-subduing staff.
Sun Mingsheng and Cui Yuhuo took the lead in attacking but did not achieve the intended purpose. Instead, they were eroded by the comprehensive toxins spewed out by the highly toxic anteater, and their faces turned blue and white.
Even with the help of the detoxifying elixir, they were a little overwhelmed in the face of such a strong toxin, not to mention the continuous attacks from the anteaters. With the advantage in numbers, the two monks were actually at a disadvantage.
The strength of this poisonous beast in the poisonous fog space is obviously better than expected. The toxins in the monster's body combined with the natural toxins in the space have an effect that is greater than the sum of the two.
The first battle with the local poisonous beast brought a rather tricky blow to the two, and they could not win in a short time.
As the fighting time between the two sides increased, the movement continued to spread, which was likely to attract the attention of other poisonous beasts. Once it caused a siege, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, my Qingniu has noticed the approach of other poisonous beasts. Quickly activate the means at the bottom of the box as soon as possible, and fight quickly to avoid unexpected disasters."
Cui Yuhuo showed an anxious look on his face, and couldn't help urging him. Although the Qingniu spirit beast had not appeared, his keen perception was not affected at all.
"I understand. Although the anteater is tricky, it can't be a roadblock to our progress."
Sun Mingsheng responded loudly.
