Just as Zhao Yunzhi was about to stand up, he was stopped by Meng Yueshan who was standing beside him, and even pulled him back.

Not only Meng Yueshan, but also Huang Zhuo and Zhang Yin on the side were looking sharply ahead.

Zhou Daocheng noticed something unusual about them and asked, "Did something happen?"

Meng Yueshan swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice: "Look... do you see the entrance of the cave in front? That is the cave of the second-level monster, the spirit-devouring ant colony."

Hearing this, Zhou Daocheng's pupils shrank instantly, and the information about the spirit-devouring ant colony emerged in his mind. This is a second-level spirit insect monster that is not strong individually, but usually appears in groups. Even ordinary foundation-building experts can't. Don't dare to provoke easily.

This special ant colony has an almost terrifying greed for any spiritual material, and will eat everything up if it comes into contact with it.

Especially items with high spiritual energy concentration such as monk bodies, magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans.

Relying on the huge numbers, through the terrifying insect sea tactics, carrying out continuous attacks, devouring and gnawing the flesh and mana, dozens of foundation-building experts may be hunted by the ant colony.

If you were targeted by a powerful second-level monster, you might still be able to escape. But if you are targeted by a swarm of spirit-devouring ants, you will definitely be chewed up to the point where no bones are left.

If you encounter this kind of monster in the wild and attract the attention of the ant colony, there is almost no possibility of escape.

Zhou Daocheng suddenly understood that no wonder the three Meng Yueshan were so nervous, because if they were not careful, all five people present might be killed here, and no one would be spared.

Thinking of this, the breathing of the five people present became rapid.

Meng Yueshan swallowed and lowered his voice: "We can't stay here any longer. Let's retreat slowly. We must not attract the attention of the ants."

The others nodded silently and squatted down quietly, making as little noise as possible.

Fortunately, everyone has not completely entered the living range of the spirit-devouring ant colony. They are currently several hundred meters apart. As long as they are careful, it is still possible to stay away from this area.

If you get any closer, it will be really dangerous.

It took a few breaths to get here, but it took a full two-quarters of an hour to get back.

It wasn't until he was two or three kilometers away that Zhou Daocheng breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that his breathing was much easier.

Meng Yueshan and the other three fell to the ground with a "pop" sound: "Grandma, I'm so stupid. I've really seen a ghost. How could there be such a ghost thing? It's really unlucky."

Huang Zhuo leaned on the tree stump, cursed and said, "Who said it wasn't true? I almost died here. We wander around this area every day. How come we didn't know there was a colony of spirit-devouring ants there?!"

Zhou Daocheng and Zhao Yunzhi were not much better. They took out two or three water bags from their storage bags, threw one to Meng Yueshan and the others, gave one to Zhao Yunzhi, and kept one for themselves. Then they raised their heads and drank two mouthfuls.

"Stop complaining, just have fun wandering around a group of spiritual insects like this and come out intact."

Apart from the initial fear, Zhou Daocheng's mood recovered and he became much calmer.

Meng Yueshan regained his senses and analyzed carefully: "We often hunt wild beasts in this area, but we have never seen a colony of spirit-devouring ants, nor have we heard of the existence of such monsters. The group of spirit-devouring ants we just met , it is most likely a new one, and I think the hole I have learned is not very big, and the soil is pale white, so it is very likely that it is just an ant colony in the Qi refining period.”

"A first-level spirit-devouring ant colony? That's not something we can deal with." Zhao Yunzhi frowned.

However, there was a hint of greed in Huang Zhuo's eyes: "I heard that although the spirit-devouring ant colony is terrifying, it is also an extremely precious spiritual insect. There are many treasures of heaven and earth in the nest!"

"Snapped!"

Meng Yueshan slapped Huang Zhuo on the head fiercely and cursed angrily: "How dare you even think about this thing? Are you too tired of living?"

"Oh? Treasures from heaven and earth?" Zhou Daocheng's eyes lit up, he looked over curiously, and asked, "It's okay, let's talk about it."

Huang Zhuo rubbed his head, and after hearing Zhou Daocheng's speech, he said with relief: "The spirit-swallowing ants swallow the pure spiritual energy, so they will secrete a kind of spiritual nectar, which has extremely pure and rich spiritual energy. After absorbing it, it can quickly increase its strength. , and it has a certain effect in recovering injuries.”

"Besides, this is not the most precious thing!" Huang Zhuoyue said more enthusiastically, lowering his voice: "I heard that some powerful monks can tame this kind of spirit worm for their own use as a means of combat, so the eggs of swallowing spirit ants are also Extremely precious!”

This was the first time Zhou Daocheng heard about it, and he was shocked: "Domestication spirit? A method of controlling beasts?"

Seeing Zhou Daocheng's interest, Meng Yueshan also explained: "Indeed, the Bailingmen, a force in the Purple Mansion, is famous for its beast control methods, which are similar methods, but we should not think about it. This thing is too dangerous, even if Only the strength in the Qi refining stage is not something we can touch.”

Zhou Daocheng nodded. Meng Yueshan and others were more experienced in this regard.

Logically speaking, casual cultivators are the most greedy group of people. No matter whether there is danger or not, as long as there are cultivation resources, there will be casual cultivators. If even casual cultivators dare not touch it, it is enough to illustrate the danger of this matter.

Several people once again turned their goals back to looking for Bai Sangkui.

In the nearby area, white mulberry is not a particularly precious and rare spiritual plant. Although it takes some effort to find it, it is not particularly troublesome.

After taking some long detours, Meng Yueshan relied on his own experience to find some white mulberry trees. Although the number was not large, it could be transplanted, which would solve Zhao Yunzhi's urgent need.

After doing all this, it was almost evening.

Zhao Yunzhi looked at the sky and said with some worry: "It may be too late to rush back to Bailin Lake today, and we may have to live in the wild."

Zhou Daocheng looked around and finally looked at Meng Yueshan.

Meng Yueshan was also sensible. He knew that it was his turn to take action again. He was happy to be able to show his value in front of Zhou Daocheng.

"Sir, when we were casual cultivators before, we often lived in the wild, but the environment was relatively bad. I hope you two can endure it as much as possible."

Zhou Daocheng waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, as long as you have a place to live."

Neither he nor Zhao Yunzhi were spoiled, so they naturally didn't care too much about these.

Meng Yueshan took advantage of the sky before it was completely dark, found a hidden cave, and easily killed the blue wolf monster in it, and then occupied it.

The three cooperated tacitly and had a clear division of labor.

Huang Zhuo skillfully handled the blue wolf corpse to avoid attracting the attention of other monsters.

Zhang Yin found some special spiritual herbs nearby to get rid of the fishy smell in the cave, making it easier to live there at night.

Meng Yueshan went into the cave to investigate, to determine if there were any other dangers, and to check if there were any natural treasures in the cave.

Surprisingly, Meng Yueshan soon found two earth spirit grasses deep in the cave and gave them to Zhou Daocheng.
