Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 111 A near miss
The three layers of golden shield are thicker than the previous one. The outermost layer of golden shield is only three feet high and three inches thick.

The golden shield in the middle is six feet high and six inches thick.

The last golden shield was ten feet high and one foot thick.

This is the high-level gold magic, the triple gold shield technique, and it is also the strongest defensive method among the gold magic he masters.

He knew very well the strength of the corrosive acid in the stomachs of the silver-armored ants. It was absolutely impossible to resist it with just the golden bell condensed by the Golden Bell Cover Talisman. Therefore, he had to consume more spiritual power to perform the triple golden shield technique.

Just as the triple golden shield was formed, the ball of mucus shot forward and sprayed onto the golden shield.

In an instant, as if sulfuric acid had touched the skin, the golden shield armor was visibly twisted and deformed, and was penetrated and dissolved by the yellow mucus. In just a short while, the outermost layer of the golden shield armor had been corroded by the yellow mucus to create a huge hole. The mucus passed through the first layer of golden shield armor and attached to the second layer of golden shield armor.

Seeing this, Song Xian, who was not far away, was shocked. He did not expect that these silver-armored ants were so powerful.

The triple golden shield used by Apu, even the outermost shield had a defense power no weaker than the golden shield technique, a primary technique of the great perfection level. However, under the attack of this ball of yellow slime, it was like paper, and in less than ten seconds, it was corroded and melted into a big hole.

This was because Apu was well prepared. When the silver-armored ants lined up in a row and had not yet launched an attack, he flew back and condensed his magic to resist the attack.

That is Apu, who is very familiar with the habits and attack methods of these silver-armored ants. If it were someone else who didn't know the methods of the silver-armored ants, he would surely suffer a heavy loss.

Because the mucus spewed out of the mouths of these silver-armored ants is almost instantaneous, and cultivators need to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies to cast spells, and circulate it around their bodies according to certain methods, attracting the gathering of spiritual power of a certain attribute between heaven and earth, so that it can condense. This takes a certain amount of time, at least a few breaths of time.

If there were no preliminary preparations, by the time the spell was solidified, the silver-armored ants' mucus would have already reached the front and there would be no time to stop it.

When the silver-armored ants lined up in a row, Apu flew back and condensed his magic, and only then was he able to use the triple golden shield technique to block the attack of the silver-armored ants.

After the yellow mucus penetrated the outer layer of golden shield, it attached to the second layer of golden shield, dissolving it bit by bit.

Apu did not wait for the outcome of the stalemate between the silver-armored ants and the yellow mucus. After casting the triple golden shield technique to protect himself, he controlled the flying sword to chop at it.

The sword light condensed again, and the silver-armored ants still huddled together to respond. There was another loud bang, and the silver-armored ants withstood the sword light and quickly dispersed.

At this time, George Lam finally caught up. Seeing Apu and the silver-armored ants fighting, he did not hesitate and immediately helped.

Now both sides are tied to the same rope. If these silver-armored ants are not eliminated and allowed to return to their nest, Zhong Wenyuan will surely die.

He took out a talisman in his hand and formed an ochre-colored shield around him. This was a first-grade, top-grade earth-attribute stone shield talisman.

He had seen the fight between Apu and the silver-armored ants just now, and was very afraid of the yellow mucus that suddenly sprayed out of the silver-armored ants. Therefore, he first used talismans to protect himself, and then took out a blue trident in his hand. The magic weapon shone brightly, condensed into a huge phantom, and stabbed towards the silver-armored ants.

At this time, the mucus spewed by the silver-armored ants had penetrated two of the three golden shields and was corroding the third golden shield.

Of course, Apu didn't stand there stupidly waiting for the slime to penetrate the third layer of golden shield and stick to his body. His body had already changed position.

With the help of George Lam, his pressure was reduced, and the two of them controlled their magic weapons to continuously attack the silver-armored ants.

The silver-armored ants are low-level monsters that do not understand tactical coordination and only fight against the monsters based on instinct. When they encounter attacks from magical weapons, they will huddle together, which is exactly what they want.

The two of them used magic weapons to attack, which not only saved spiritual energy but also delayed time, waiting for Zhong Wenyuan to come out of the mountain.

In this situation, Song Xian naturally couldn't help. He could only watch from afar, feeling anxious and uneasy. Zhong Wenyuan hadn't come out yet, and he wondered if something had happened.

After enduring more than a dozen attacks from magical weapons, the silver-armored ants seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. Two of them were shaking, as if they were about to fall.

They disintegrated again, spraying a ball of yellow mucus from their mouths and attacking Apu.

These silver-armored ants seemed to have identified Apu as the culprit and ignored Alan Tam.

Seeing the silver-armored ants lined up in a row, ready to attack, Apu immediately flew back, put his hands together, and cast the triple golden shield technique again.

After performing two high-level spells in a row, using flying talismans and so many magical attacks, even though Apu has a deep cultivation base, his spiritual power is now a little exhausted and his face looks pale.

When the silver-armored ants spewed yellow mucus, George Lam did not just stand there and watch. He controlled his magic trident and stabbed the silver-armored ants.

At this time, the silver-armored ants were lined up in a row. Perhaps because there was not much mucus in their stomachs, the charging time for their spitting was obviously longer than last time.

When the huge blue trident fell from the sky, they didn't have time to gather into a ball.

Previously, the silver-armored ants had huddled together to fight, but now, scattered, their defense was naturally inferior to that of a united group. The blue trident smashed down like a giant hammer. With a loud bang, eight silver-armored ants were simultaneously struck by the trident and tumbled to the ground. During the fall, seven of the silver-armored ants managed to steady themselves, quickly adjusting themselves and huddling together again.

The other one rolled and somersaulted to the ground, fell heavily, flapped its wings twice, and tried to fly again, but failed. Looking closely, there were already cracks on the silver armor shell on its body, and the left wing was broken into two pieces.

Although these eight silver-armored ants are all guards of the queen ant and are all second-level monsters, they are also different in strength.

The second-level monster is a relatively general concept. Because their cultivation methods are different from those of cultivators, there is no way to specifically divide them according to the level of cultivators.

Generally speaking, a second-order demon beast is equivalent to a human cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, with strength between the fourth and sixth levels of Qi Refining.

However, there is a big gap in strength between the cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining and the cultivator at the sixth level of Weapon Refining.

These elite silver-armored ants are like this. The strong ones among the eight silver-armored ants can reach the sixth level of Qi Refining of cultivators, while the weak ones can only reach the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The silver-armored ant that fell to the ground and couldn't move was the weaker one among them. This could be seen from its size. It was smaller than the other silver-armored ants.

After using the triple golden shield technique to block the slime attack of the silver-armored ants, Apu immediately controlled the red flying sword to cut it down.

Although he and George Lam had never met before, this was the first time they collaborated against an enemy, and they worked together very closely.

The two people's magical weapons attacked one after another, leaving the silver-armored ants no time to fight back.

Just now, the silver-armored ants tried to fight back against Apu by spitting mucus to attack him, but Lin Zixiang seized the opportunity and severely injured one of the silver-armored ants in one fell swoop.

The two men's continuous attacks with magical weapons caused a great loss of their own spiritual power. They were already a little anxious, but when they saw a silver-armored ant being seriously injured, their eyes lit up instantly and their morale boosted. They knew that these silver-armored ants were already at the end of their strength and could not hold on for too long.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the cave in the mountain. It was Zhong Wenyuan.

Seeing that George Lam, A Pu and the Silver-Armored Ants were fighting fiercely not far away, he was obviously stunned.

Obviously, he did not expect that some of the silver-armored ants would return to the nest early. In an instant, he felt a chill and his hair stood up unconsciously. If it were not for Lin Zixiang and A Pu blocking the outside, allowing these silver-armored ants to enter the cave and block himself in the passage inside, he would have been in danger of death.

Song Xian was overjoyed to see that he had finally escaped from inside, and then he subconsciously looked at the cave behind him to see how many silver-armored ants were chasing him out.

Strangely, there were no sightings of silver-armored ants.

What exactly happened in the cave? Since there were no silver-armored ants chasing him out, why did Zhong Wenyuan stay in there for so long, almost twice as long as others?

Song Xian was puzzled, but now was not the time to think about it. Seeing him standing blankly at the entrance of the cave, he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Wenyuan, help Brother Zixiang and Brother Apu first."

After a brief moment of daze, Zhong Wenyuan quickly reacted and, after hearing Song Xian's words, immediately stepped forward to help.

The three people used their magic weapons to attack the silver-armored ants frequently. With Zhong Wenyuan's help, the situation became even more one-sided.

Although the silver-armored ant has a tough body and the mucus it spews out is quite powerful, it is a low-level monster with no intelligence and a dull brain. It has no way of judging the situation. When it sees the magic weapon attacking, it instinctively huddles together to meet the enemy.

Until the silver-armored ants that were gathered together were seriously injured and fell in the process of fighting against the magic weapon, and only the last silver-armored ant was left, it still stubbornly curled up into a ball, tucked its wings and head under its body as much as possible, and maintained the posture of gathering together with the other silver-armored ants.

In fact, its brothers had already fallen and were seriously injured.

Needless to say, the result was that the eight second-level silver-armored ants were seriously injured and fell to the ground under the repeated attacks of the three people's magic weapons, losing their combat effectiveness.

Apu was the first to put away his magic weapon and came to the entrance of the cave. His face was pale, and it was obvious that he had little spiritual power left in his body, but his eyes were bright.

George Lam and Zhong Wenyuan also put away their magic weapons and came to Song Xian.

Zhong Wenyuan's complexion was fine, just a little pale, but Lin Zixiang's condition was much more serious, with a dense layer of sweat on his forehead.

Song Xian flipped his hand and took out a black banner from the storage bag. With a thought, a beam of blood light from the banner shot towards the seriously injured silver-armored ant that fell to the ground.

The blood shot to one of the silver-armored ants and drilled into its bloody wound. After a while, it sucked all the blood and flesh away, leaving only a shell.

This scene startled George Lam, Zhong Wenyuan and A Pu, and they all looked at him.

Song Xian ignored them and continued to use the black flag's blood light to suck the flesh and blood of other silver-armored ants.
