Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 110 Unexpected Situations
In any case, this alien species of silver-armored ant was born by the queen ant. Unexpectedly, the first thing it did after it was born was to eat its own mother. Such a brutal behavior is really terrifying.

Just as he was pondering the origin of the insects and the mystery of the queen ant's death, the golden silver-armored ant suddenly leaped from the queen ant's abdomen to his neck.

Zhong Wenyuan felt a sharp pain in his neck and reached out to grab it, only to see that a piece of skin on his neck had been gnawed off by the golden silver-armored ants.

This little thing was only the size of a fly, but it turned out to be so ferocious. As soon as they met, it rushed over without hesitation and attacked him.

Zhong Wenyuan pinched it with two fingers and observed it carefully for a while, then took out a stone box from the storage bag, put it in the inner room, and then looked at the hall carefully.

The reason why Apu asked them to lead away the silver-armored ants here was to prove that the treasure must be hidden behind this hall, otherwise there would be no need to do this.

But looking around, the entire hall was empty. Apart from a passage at the main entrance, there was no other way.

Zhong Wenyuan felt around along the stone walls one by one. He believed that there must be a secret passage or a switch here. After exploring for a while, he finally found something unusual. When he turned the candlestick on the left side of the hall, he heard a loud bang, and the originally flat hall wall split apart from both sides, revealing a fellow monk behind it.

Zhong Wenyuan was overjoyed and walked forward along the passage.

.........

Outside the mountain, Song Xian was waiting anxiously. Zhong Wenyuan had obviously stayed inside longer than the others, which made him feel a little uneasy, fearing that something had happened inside. After all, most of the silver-armored ants inside had been attracted away, and only the queen ant and a small number of elite guard ants were left. It would be bad if they were entangled.

"Not good." At this moment, Apu's low voice was heard.

He looked back and saw several black spots appearing in the distance. They were the elite silver-armored ants that had chased Lin Zixiang before. They had returned here.

Song Xian's face changed drastically. Why did these elite guard ants that were chasing Lin Zixiang come back?
Zhong Wenyuan is still inside. If these silver-armored ants are allowed to return to their nests in the mountain, they will surely die.

In an instant, he made a decision.

"Brother Apu, we can't let these silver-armored ants go back. We have to stop them."

"I'm afraid the two of us are no match for them." Apu's voice was still cold, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Song Xian suddenly turned around and looked in his direction, his voice stern: "We have no choice. If we let these silver-armored ants return to the nest, Senior Brother Wenyuan will be trapped inside, and you will never get those treasures."

The threat in this statement is obvious. Song Xian did not say that he could not get it, but used the word "don't even think about getting it", which has a completely different meaning.

If you can’t get it, it’s determined by objective conditions; if you can’t even think about getting it, it’s determined by subjective conditions.

After saying that, without waiting for Apu's response, he took out the flying talisman and stuck it on his body. As the spiritual power in his body continued to flow into it, the flying talisman was quickly activated, emitting a dazzling light that enveloped him.

In an instant, Song Xian's face turned pale and a feeling of dizziness came over him. He immediately opened his eyes of true observation to look inward.

Just to activate this second-level low-grade talisman, twenty points of spiritual power were consumed. It is truly worthy of being a second-level low-grade talisman, and it is indeed extraordinary.

The light of the flying talisman formed a faint light curtain around him. Song Xian felt as if his whole body was isolated from the world and became light. He jumped up and flew towards the silver-armored ants.

Apu's eyes flashed, and after a slight hesitation, he took out a flying talisman and stuck it on his body. He then flew into the air and caught up with Song Xian.

"Your cultivation is low, and you are no match for those elite silver-armored ants. It's better to step aside and not lose your life in vain. I will lead them away."

Since both of them had used the flying talisman to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies, the invisibility talisman lost its effect and they were no longer in a hidden state.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Be careful."

Song Xian certainly knew that he was no match for those silver-armored ants. He did this just to force Apu to take action.

As long as he shows this attitude, Apu will no longer have any choice, unless he is ready to turn against everyone in Hunyuan Sect.

If he goes up to confront the silver-armored ants head-on while they just stand by and watch, it will inevitably lead to the breakdown of the cooperation between the two parties. In the current situation, it will do him no good but only harm.

Without the help of Hunyuan Sect, he would definitely not be able to obtain the treasures in the mountain, and if the two sides turned against each other, his life would even be in danger.

Although his cultivation was slightly higher than everyone else's, the Hunyuan Sect was more powerful after all. Even if the two sides did not fight each other, the treasures in the mountain would no longer belong to him.

Although Apu was alone and helpless, he chose to cooperate with the people of Hunyuan Sect. This was entirely based on mutual trust between the two parties. This was because Hunyuan Sect had saved his life in times of crisis and did not betray them because of greed for his property.

Any independent cultivator would not go treasure hunting with a certain organization, because there is a high possibility of being robbed by the gang, which is a taboo in the cultivation world.

When independent cultivators discovered treasures, they would seek out their familiar friends and seek out the dominant position. Apu sought cooperation with the Hunyuan Sect because he had no one else to choose from and was eager to obtain the treasures within the mountain.

After Song Xian stepped back, A Pu came forward and took out magnolia resin oil. As the distance between the two sides got closer, a figure was seen rushing towards them from behind the silver-armored ant. It was none other than Alan Tam.

He had been chased by the silver-armored ants before, and he was afraid that they would catch up with him, so he ran all the way. But somehow, after chasing him for a distance, the silver-armored ants all turned back.

This made him very anxious, as he knew that if these elite silver-armored ants returned to their nest, the consequences would be disastrous and devastating.

However, he was helpless in the face of these silver-armored ants, so he could only follow them closely.

When Song Xian saw Lin Zixiang return safely, he felt relieved.

The moment he saw the silver-armored ants returning, a thought flashed through his mind that perhaps Lin Zixiang had been caught up and killed by these silver-armored ants, which led to the silver-armored ants returning.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

When Apu saw Alan Tam chasing him, he immediately changed his plan. He originally wanted to use magnolia resin oil to lure away the silver-armored ants, but now he had a helper. Instead of attracting the silver-armored ants, it would be better to eliminate them here.

His original plan was to have the people of Hunyuan Sect lead the silver-armored ants out of the mountain in batches. If only one queen ant was left, he had his own ways to deal with it and could easily take away the treasures inside.

But his plan failed due to the return of this group of elite silver-armored ants.

He can deal with a lone queen ant, but if there is a group of guard ants nearby, he will be powerless.

Attracting these silver-armored ants now is just to buy time for Zhong Wenyuan who is still in the cave in the mountain, but this will not allow him to take away the treasures inside smoothly.

Those silver-armored ants that were chased out will return to their nest sooner or later, and then everything will return to the starting point.

However, the invisibility and flying talismans they bought have been used up. Without these talismans, it would be impossible to start over even if they wanted to.

At that time, you can only choose to go back to the market to prepare well before coming here. Going back and forth from the pier will not only cost more spirit stones, but also be a waste of time.

So he decisively decided to change his strategy and eliminate this group of silver-armored ants. In this way, he could still enter the mountain and take away the treasure as planned.

He produced a scarlet flying sword in his hand, and as the scarlet light bloomed, it condensed into a three or four meter long sword light and slashed towards the silver-armored ants.

When the silver-armored ants saw the sword light coming, they did not dodge, but gathered into a group. Several second-level silver-armored ants gathered together to form a silver ball, facing the lightsaber head-on.

There was a loud bang, and the sword light hit the silver-armored ant, making a loud sound of metal clashing.

Those silver-armored ants withstood the attack head-on and fell straight down like missiles.

On the way down, several silver-armored ants suddenly scattered and headed towards Apu.

With Apu's cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining, and the top-grade magic weapon in his hand, he was able to deal with a group of silver-armored ants that were only in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Even after a full-strength attack, he did not cause any obvious damage to them, which shows how tough the bodies of these ants are.

No wonder Apu is so afraid of them.

Seeing the silver-armored ants scattering and coming towards him in different directions, Apu was not in a hurry. He took out a dark red talisman in his hand. As the talisman glowed, the outline of a golden bell condensed around him. This was a first-grade, top-grade golden bell talisman.

After the talisman took effect, he condensed the sword light again and slashed at the silver-armored ants.

Magical instruments and talismans are the two most useful weapons for cultivators in actual combat. Compared with spells, the power of magical instruments and talismans is not lower at all, and they also require less spiritual power.

In the battle between cultivators, unless the difference in the strength of both sides is too great, it is very difficult to kill the opponent with one strike. After all, no one is there to eat and do nothing, so most battles are based on attrition, and the competition is about who can last longer.

Those with good spiritual roots will have a great advantage in this regard. For the same technique, the spiritual power consumed by two spiritual roots is half of that of five spiritual roots.

The sword light slashed down, and the silver-armored ants gathered together again, forming a ball, and there was another loud bang.

The silver sphere fell straight down and disintegrated in mid-air. This time they did not attack separately, but lined up in a row. A stream of yellow mucus shot out of the mouths of several silver-armored ants, which condensed into a ball, forming a yellow sphere about three feet in size.

Seeing this scene, Apu seemed to have expected it. He looked solemn, and before the silver-armored ant could spit out mucus, he flew back. At the same time, he put his hands together, and three layers of golden shield armor condensed in front of him.
