Astral Ant Tribe

The half-ant artist traveled through space and stopped at a canyon 1,500 kilometers away from the silver oak god-given seed.

Longbai activated his earth and stone ability, and the cliff at the bottom of the valley cracked, forming a cave, and the half-ant artist crawled in.

Sishu and Xia Li quickly unloaded the goods.

After 11 months of hard work, a total of 14 large bags of world gems were collected, with a total value of about 8.2 trillion.

After trying,

the spider silk rope was tied, and Sishu and Xia Li's carapace could tie 3 bags. The tentacles of the holy butterfly warrior were flexible and could be bent and rolled up to carry 1 bag. In addition, the two front feet could also carry 1 bag.

Sishu and Xia Li each carried 5 large bags, and the remaining 4 bags could only be handled by Longbai.

Longbai tied the carapace tightly, and then manipulated the earth and stone ability to transform into a rock python and hide inside the rock python.

The half-ant artist transformed into an artist, wearing a dark purple iridescent armor, with 133 tentacles twisting and swinging, the blades connected, the front feet shook, the arm blades popped out, and the body shook, standing on the top of the rock python.

"Captain Longbai, are you okay?"

"Don't worry! No problem."

"Where is Chief Tiebin? Can you use the soul-fixing ability to find him?"

"Yeah~right!"

Longbai had long determined that it could not pass the test, and almost forgot about it...

Activated the soul-fixing ability to sense.

In a brief moment of one ten-thousandth of a second, it sensed the seeds of Yinju's god, as well as the souls of 17 holy butterfly warriors, and the familiar beetle warrior souls...

Before it had time to concentrate and distinguish the situation, it was discovered by Yinju and lost its sense of them.

"No. The Silver Oak God-given Seed reacts too quickly. I only sensed the presence of Chief Tiebin for a moment, and was blocked in an instant. However, in the sense, it was still nearly 100 kilometers away from the Silver Oak, probably stuck in the second or third level."

"..."

Si Shu and Xia Li didn't know what to say, and there was nothing to say.

"President Si Shu! President Xia Li! Then I'll go first!"

"Okay--"

"Come on, Chief Long Bai! Lead us to wealth!"

"Haha, don't worry, I never take risks without confidence! If I say I can speed through it in a month, I can speed through it in a month."

Long Bai controlled the rock python to set off.

Climbing vertically over the steep peaks and over the mountains.

"???"

The spiritual power of Silver Oak floated over.

"Meet the Silver Oak God-given Seed!"

Long Bai greeted politely.

"Big ant, it's you again."

"It's me."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm coming to your Titanium World to learn and improve!"

"???"

"I've thought about it carefully. I only have one chance to enter the Red Robin Star. Since I've encountered it, I should see it and not leave any regrets for myself. Although it may waste a month of precious treasure hunting time. However, there are many opportunities to make a fortune in the universe, but the opportunity to learn from the most intelligent tree in the universe is only once."

"You know I'm the most intelligent tree in the universe, and you still say these useless nonsense? Greedy ant, what's on your carapace?"

"A small number of world gems."

Longbai said honestly: "I'm poor, and I need this wealth for evolution and development."

Yinju didn't dwell on it much, and his attention was on the artist.

"What kind of creature is on the head of the python with earth-type ability? I can only identify that it is the origin of some innate gods, which you have transformed into your own ability, bionic ability. What kind of creature is it imitating?"

"The origin of the innate god of the water system is called 'Zhen', which I gradually transformed into ten-system omnipotence. The evolutionary path I chose is to imitate changes and survive and adapt.

The creature that Zhen imitated is called 'Artist', a third-level peak civilization specializing in the space system in the old universe era. A civilization composed of 133 different ethnic groups. The artist is the leader, and its body is a synthesis of high-quality genes collected from 133 races by genetic technology."

"A nearly perfect life form."

"This body structure, combined with armor and space teleportation, specializes in surprise attacks and close combat."

Long Bai patiently explained in detail.

Yinqiu asked: "Spatial talent?"

Longbai: "Talent cannot be imitated. At least, I can't imitate it at present. Spatial ability mainly comes from a spatial technology creation called 'Technology Star Core'..."

Longbai communicated and hurried on his way. While talking, he controlled the artist's armor mask to open, and the purple-red technology star core was separated from the forehead and suspended for display.

"Interesting..."

"You fat ant is much more interesting than a butterfly."

Yinqiu had a very good impression of Longbai and praised: "There are many insects on the bionic road, but only a few can achieve something. You are one of them. You are very good. I can feel that your strength far exceeds that of butterflies of the same level! I will make it ten times more difficult for you!"

Longbai: "Ah?"

Longbai: "No need? No need~"

No response.

Quietly sensing, the spiritual power of Yinqiu's God-given seed has retreated.

Longbai controlled the rock python to accelerate, crossing the vast mountains, all the way up, and climbed onto the plateau with sparse vegetation.

The rock python stopped.

The artist stared and observed.

Further ahead was the titanium white realm.

A strong metallic energy smell.

The blue sun was hanging in the sky,

and the whistling cold wind seemed to be cutting with countless sharp blades.

A battle energy field at the peak level of the Su realm.

Once you step into it, it means the battle has begun.

Long Bai observed for a long time, his mind turned, the surrounding soil and rocks crawled and gathered, the rock python's body expanded rapidly, turning into a giant python with a length of 3,000 meters, black metal precipitated, and formed a layer of scale armor on the surface for defense.

The surrounding air suddenly shrank, and then a layer of extremely cold ice scales was superimposed on the scale armor.

Prepared for double defense, the rock python raised its head and moved forward.

As soon as it entered the titanium white volume range, there was a continuous sound of crackling, and the extreme metal power of not at all at the same level danced and cut with the wind, the ice scales collapsed, and the metal scale armor could not last for a second.

——The power beyond the scope of the star realm.

The seemingly powerful rock python had no resistance to this all-pervasive and unstoppable attack, and collapsed into a mountain of rubble in an instant.

There was no trace of Long Bai in the rubble.

The head of the python on which the artist stood was safe and sound, and it fell to the ground, and the artist stood still.

Within the range of the energy field, the force plant was like a "god" who controlled everything.

In the strong wind,

The metal energy instantly shrank, and a metal puppet exactly like the artist, with four legs, two hind legs standing upright, and wearing silver-gray armor, condensed.

The metal puppet had 133 silver whip-like tentacles on its head, which also had sharp blades.

Two curved blades at the bends of the two front legs.

The energy breath of the star realm.

Yin Ju also understood the bionic ability, and his attainments were not low. The two artists, except for the different colors, could not find any difference.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The wave-like mental power seemed to come from the sky, penetrating deep into the earth.

The silver-gray metal puppet's eyes lit up white light, locked onto the purple artist, ran and charged.

The artist disappeared on the spot and appeared silently behind the silver-gray metal puppet.

The space blade ability was activated, and the right arm swung horizontally, easily, the silver-gray metal puppet was cut in half at the chest, turned over, and kicked with two hind legs.

The two broken bodies were kicked away.

The metal energy that filled the world collapsed and gathered, condensing into two complete silver-gray metal puppets, standing back to back, slightly raising their front feet, guarding against the purple artist's sneak attack through space.

"..."

Longbai controlled the sand leech, lurking a thousand meters underground, and manipulated the artist to fight through the "Soul of Art".

The intelligent brain function automatically operated to assist, and quickly calculated Yinju's intention.

It wanted to learn the artist's spatial ability and compete in close combat skills.

The ten times strength it mentioned should be ten times the number of challenges of ordinary warriors. The comprehensive strength of a single puppet is still at the peak level of the star realm.

Longbai controlled the artist, constantly shuttled through space, and tried to attack, but was blocked by the silver-gray puppet.

Yinju also made adjustments,

giving the silver-gray metal puppet arm blade enough strength to resist the sharp blade of space.

After a series of clinking and clanging,

with a clang,

the artist was kicked by a silver-gray metal puppet, and the brutal force hit him, causing his body to lose stability and fly backwards.

He disappeared in mid-air, teleported away, and stood a thousand meters away, no longer making any rash moves.

The silver oak is an old tree with extensive knowledge and profound wisdom. It has mastered the fighting skills of this form of life in an instant.

After a brief surprise, Longbai came to his senses.

The artist's body shape is similar to that of humans. Yinqiao should have learned human fighting skills.

The two silver-gray metal puppets cooperated with each other, and their defense was impenetrable. The trick of teleporting through space and attacking failed.

Face to face, direct combat, one against two, two legs can't beat four legs...

Deep underground,

Longbai's mind was running at the speed of light.

Longbai also collected some close combat skills of human warriors, and understood them, but never applied them in actual combat.

Temporarily, with the help of the intelligent brain, he deduced the method of breaking the current situation.

Yinju's unhappy and mocking mental power went deep into the ground, "You ant, you have strength but you look good but can't fight~"

"It's because you are too strong, Yinju sacred tree!"

Longbai said politely.

He already had a solution in mind.

Yinju's fighting skills came from the human race.

Human race has no tentacles on their heads.

Yinju completely ignored the function of tentacles in battle.

The artist disappeared on the spot.

Shut through space, appeared in front of the metal puppet, slightly raised his front feet to pretend to stab, and when the metal puppet responded, he teleported and disappeared.

Continuously changed the direction and teleported three times. After three feints, he waved his front feet and the space blade cut horizontally and vertically.

The sound of metal weapons colliding.

Suddenly,

the 133 tentacles swaying on the artist's head moved together, instantly piercing a metal puppet.

The tentacles broke automatically,

and the blades shuttled through space and retracted.

The tentacles exploded and turned into a devouring mist.

The stabbed metal puppet collapsed directly.

The artist's figure teleported again, and appeared behind another metal puppet, swinging the space blade to cut.

The metal puppet turned around to block.

The artist's figure disappeared again, and appeared beside him again.

Constantly changing positions, attacking like a storm.

In a breath, a single metal puppet could not resist and was split in half.

Two metal puppets solved it.

Between heaven and earth, metal energy gathered.

The four metal puppets condensed into shape, and their appearance changed greatly. The 133 tentacles on their heads were obviously strengthened and transformed, and they had the strength to resist the space blade.

The four metal puppets formed a square battle array.

"..."

Long Bai was solemn.

Could it be that the Silver Oak God-given seed instantly learned to fight with its head tentacles?

It would be difficult to deal with two at the same time...

Four at once, and they are the enhanced and upgraded version...

And even if they win, will they continue to split into 8 or 16...

The key is, how can such a challenge be considered a win?

There must be a qualitative change to be able to beat 4, 8, 16, or even more.

Combat skills?

Under the calculation of the intelligent brain ability, all combat skills can be quickly verified and applied skillfully in actual combat.

There is not much room for improvement in combat skills. When one fights 4, no skills are useful. Moreover, Silver Oak has a strong learning ability. It can learn any skill at a glance, and then return it 8 times or 16 times.

It must be a trick it can't learn...

Spatial ability?

There is no spatial talent, and the spatial ability is fixed.

Other talent systems?

I have never considered manipulating artists to fight head-on.

It is not difficult to consider.

In close combat with metal life, the system, thunder system and fire system are relatively easy to use.

Slightly modify some existing abilities, and the artist can use them directly.

In addition, close combat depends on speed and strength.

It is definitely not possible to compete with metal life in brute force.

Can the artist be optimized from the blood level to increase speed?

It is feasible!

The best blood template is me.

Selectively integrate part of my blood into the artist's body...

Longbai thinks, and the intelligent brain assists in calculation.

The artist stands still, constantly changing and adjusting under the armor.

The four silver-gray metal puppets are also motionless.

Yinju's meaning is also very clear. Everyone controls the puppets to fight, it defends, and Longbai attacks.

There is only one month left, and the only one who is anxious is Longbai.

Longbai must defeat a certain number of metal puppets at the fastest speed.

…

The stalemate lasted for two days.

Above the artist's head, 133 tentacles that had fallen off in the previous battle grew back, blue-purple lightning flowed, and pale flames jumped at the tip of the tentacles.

The front foot arm blade, silver lightning flashed, and pale flames were hidden.

The lightning surged, and the figure flashed close to the metal puppet battle formation, flashing and changing directions continuously, constantly testing.

Suddenly, the front foot and tentacles attacked at the same time, violently attacking.

The sound of weapons colliding.

The crackling of lightning.

The fierce confrontation in an instant,

The artist still couldn't resist, and was hit continuously. The super armor protection was knocked out, and he shuttled through space and teleported away.

The pale flames on the four metal puppets surged.

The modified touch of blue thunder.

The source fire that can't be extinguished, burning all matter.

The four metal puppets were quickly burned to ashes.

As expected,

the metal energy condensed, and 8 metal puppets condensed into shape, and they were optimized and adjusted. Their weapons were changed to a knife on the right front foot and a shield on the left front foot, forming a square defense array in pairs.

The artist shuttled through space to get closer.

The space teleportation and lightning strike abilities alternated, and the body shuttled back and forth, constantly testing the attack.

The optimized metal puppets, their shields condensed a kind of defensive energy, which could resist the attack of the "Touch of Blue Thunder".

It may be that Yinju's attainments in metal bionics are insufficient, and the speed of the gray metal puppets has not been optimized, as if it has reached the limit of the peak level of the star realm.

The artist moved as fast as lightning and took the speed advantage.

The metal puppets only defended and did not attack, and 8 of them formed a battle array, eliminating the speed defect.

A relatively fair duel.

The artist distanced himself.

Longbai hid deep underground, thinking and weighing, and his intelligent brain ability was calculating for a while.

The 133 tentacles on the artist's head stretched and extended, falling straight to the ground, disappearing from the spot, and teleported to the front of a metal puppet, waving his front feet to attack fiercely, and the tentacles on his head opened and swayed, looking for an opportunity to bypass the defense.

His body kept moving, and his attack targets kept changing.

After a brief confrontation of less than a second, he found an opportunity, and two tentacles shot out like lightning, piercing the head of a metal puppet, and the white flames burned and exploded all over the body.

The artist's attack became more and more fierce. After several consecutive flashing feints, he seized the opportunity again, and with similar moves, he defeated another metal puppet...

The battle lasted less than a minute, and all 8 metal puppets were hit and defeated.

…

The metal energy gathered, and a silver-gray metal puppet condensed into shape, holding a shield on the right front foot and a knife on the left front foot.

Long Bai had no time to doubt it.

Yin Ju's mental power and thoughts came.

"Ant, this is the final duel. I will no longer simply defend."

"Your armor is a pinnacle creation of the third-level civilization. It should not appear in a battle at the level of the star realm. Put it away and fight fairly and squarely."

"You are allowed to fail."

"You only need to defeat me once to pass the test."

"Okay--"

Long Bai had a thought.

The purple armor covering the artist decomposed into components, shrank rapidly, and hid in the body.

The pure space power gathered at the front feet and condensed into two short swords.

The surrounding metal energy was also manipulated to condense into a set of black armor on the body surface.

The artist disappeared on the spot...

Transferred in space, and was about to appear behind the metal puppet to test the attack.

The metal puppet turned around and slashed with a knife, which was neat and tidy.

The artist was cut in half.

The knife flashed, the blade radiated, and the artist was chopped into pieces.

The metal puppet retreated and pulled away.

The artist's fragments turned into a ball of viscous liquid, which crawled and pulled up, and condensed into shape again.

"..."

"Release the restrictions, unlock the silver-gray metal puppet that actively attacks and is extremely powerful."

Deep underground,

Long Bai was not in a hurry to attack,

his brain was running at the speed of light, and his intelligent brain ability was synchronously assisting in analysis.

The space teleported close to the body, and there was a space fluctuation at the moment of crossing the space, which would be predicted in advance.

The artist was vulnerable without the protection of the exclusive armor.

"I still have a few abilities..."

Long Bai immediately thought of a way to win the battle.

The artist ran towards the metal puppet, approached the distance of 30 meters, stopped suddenly, bent his legs, walked, and took a defensive and evasive posture, step by step, slowly approaching.

The metal puppet raised its claws and slashed horizontally, and the sharp metal energy turned into a giant blade radiance sweeping across.

The artist sank his body, bent down to avoid the attack, and lightning flashed on his body. He took advantage of the situation to get close to the enemy, and the tentacles on his head danced wildly to feint, flashing and swaying continuously.

The metal puppet also slightly bent its front feet, holding the shield on the left front foot and the knife on the right front foot, and kept turning its body to block. The tentacles on its head were concentrated behind it, guarding against sneak attacks from behind.

Boom--

Suddenly,

the water, wind, and power energy in the artist's body exploded.

The surrounding air suddenly collapsed, and at the same time, super strong force burst out from the artist's body.

Fury!

Fury combined with the abilities of Frost Descent and Cross Flower Dance to form a super strong explosive shock.

However,

Yinju reacted faster. The metal puppet bent its knees, sank, and raised its shield to block. Its body seemed to be rooted in the ground, and it did not move at all.

It suddenly turned sideways, and the short knife cut from bottom to top, slanting towards the artist's waist.

It was simple and unexpected, and there was no time to dodge it.

But this sudden attack was within Longbai's calculation.

Just as the blade was about to hit the target, the artist's figure suddenly entered a state of virtuality.

——The lotus form!

The sword passed through the shadow without any hindrance, the attack missed, and he hurriedly raised his shield to defend.

Flaw!

The moment the sword passed, the virtual state was released simultaneously, the artist waved the space blade with his front feet and stabbed continuously, and the 133 tentacles on his head were launched at the same time, fighting with the tentacles of the metal puppet. One of the tentacles hit the back of the opponent's neck, and one hit the shoulder. The thunder and fire energy exploded, and the white flames instantly engulfed the metal puppet.

Face-to-face close-range bloody battle, the instantaneous explosion instantly determined life and death.

The silver-gray metal puppet was burned into nothingness.

The artist lost an arm, most of the tentacles were destroyed, and there were two more holes on his body, but they were not fatal.

The battle was over.

"..."

Yinju's mental power was transmitted directly to the depths of the ground.

"Cunning ant. To be fair, your fighting skills, fighting will, and fighting consciousness are not as good as the ugly beetle before."

"But I won't break my promise, so you pass."

"The titanium sand for the second test is on the top of a mountain 300 kilometers ahead, go get it."

"I'll help you hone your fighting skills and will."

After saying that, his mental power retreated.

The original force of heaven and earth rioted, and metal puppets of different sizes and shapes in the form of insects quickly condensed, densely packed in the sky and underground, countless.

Long Bai felt something was wrong.

In the titanium white volume, the space seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

The control artist tried it, and the space teleportation ability was limited!

Long Bai controlled the sand leech to drill out from deep underground and scanned with mental power.

In all directions, four or five kilometers away, metal puppets in the form of ants, bees, butterflies, dragonflies, spiders, mantises, tiger armor, etc., rushed over like a tide.

"This..."

"Can't afford to lose?"

Longbai didn't have time to think, and his energy exploded.

The artist melted and expanded, switching to the form of living water, submerging the sand leech and Longbai together, and transformed into a kilometer-long eight-winged flying beast.

The star spots of the ultimate beast on Longbai's forehead flashed violently, and the water and wind energy continued to explode.

Within a radius of 50 kilometers, the air and water condensed, and the beast expanded rapidly, instantly turning into a 30-kilometer-long super giant flying beast. (End of this chapter)
