Wood is only suitable for support? I will directly replace it with Huafo!

After breakfast, Lin Cang asked Lily to go out. He didn't plan to participate in the search for Huo Fu's subordinates. He had more important things to do.

As usual, Lin Cang, Xiao Hui and four wooden clones were divided into two groups to hunt the iron-swallowing ants. Five days passed in a flash.

In these five days, they have killed five or six hundred iron-swallowing ants.

But there are still a constant stream of iron-swallowing ants in the nest, and it seems that there is no change.

This made Lin Cang suspect that the black-faced bird had underestimated the number of iron-swallowing ants. In fact, there are many more than a thousand.

"The more the better!"Lin Cang's eyes sparkled as he looked at the nest of the iron-swallowing ants.

He could now harvest about 2,000 energy points here every day, and the system panel changed every day.

40,000 energy points... 50,000 energy points... 60,000 energy points...

Twelve days later, when Lin Cang had accumulated 70,000 energy points, he took Xiao Hui and four wooden clones into the nest of the iron-swallowing ants.

At this time, all the iron-swallowing ants outside had been killed by him, leaving only the last queen ant that never left the cave. After walking about a kilometer in a dark and humid passage, Lin Cang saw the queen ant.

One meter tall, dark green in color, with a large iron pincer on each side of its head.

At this moment, the queen ant was trembling and very scared.

It could only live... It makes other iron-swallowing ants serve it, but it can't do anything itself, and even surviving alone is difficult.

It didn't know what happened outside these days, and its subordinates were getting fewer and fewer. It was not until it saw Lin Cang at this moment that it realized that its subordinates had been killed by this human. The queen ant is much larger than the average iron-swallowing ant, and it has broken through the second level and has the strength of the third level beginner.

However, even with such strong power, the queen ant didn't even dare to touch Lin Cang and Xiao Hui.

It was born with nothing but control and command of other iron-swallowing ants.

Lin Cang looked at the trembling queen ant in amazement, and sent it away with a few Rasengan.

From beginning to end, the queen ant didn't dare to fight back, and could only wait for death silently.

【Exchange successful, energy points +80]

After exchanging the crystal core of the queen ant, Lin Cang sighed,"It would be nice if I could encounter more of this kind of monster."

Killing the queen ant is not only easy but also valuable. An ordinary iron-swallowing ant can only be exchanged for 20 energy points, while the queen ant can be exchanged for four times as many.

This also proves to Lin Cang the exchange rate of crystal cores for third-level monsters. He estimates that it is between 80 and 200 energy points, which is much stronger than second-level monsters.

However, now that the iron-swallowing ant colony is gone, Lin Cang is itching to look at the nearly 70,000 value on the system panel. Another 30,000 energy points can be exchanged for the 'Sage Mode'.

He summoned Lily and asked about her recent situation.

"Owner?"

"How is the progress? How many of Fire Scale Lion's men are left?"

"There are three more."Lily said,"Some monsters that were once commanded by them said that they are also helping me find"

"Three Heads……"Lin Cang thought for a moment and said,"Tell those monsters to work harder. I won't treat them unfairly. Let them hurry up and find"

""Okay, master."

Lily left immediately after receiving the order.

Lin Cang separated four wooden clones and asked them to continue to use the Wind Rhino to explore the wind ability.

He took Xiao Hui back to the previous time and relied on Xiao Hui to slowly pull monsters and gain energy points.

Without the Iron-Swallowing Ants, Lin Cang's monster-killing efficiency dropped several times, with an average of only three or four hundred energy points earned per day, which made him miss the"good" Iron-Swallowing Ants.

"Alas." After killing the monster that Xiao Hui had brought back again, Lin Cang couldn't help but sigh,"It would be great if there was another nest of iron-swallowing ants."

……

Fifteen days later.

In the suburbs of Qingshui County, Lily was looking for a target with a second-level monster, the Iron Bone Wolf.

The monster she was looking for was the last subordinate of Huo Fu. Lily also wanted to complete the task as soon as possible to help Lin Cang gain energy.

"Ironbone Wolf." Lily was a little impatient,"We have searched this place three times, are you sure that the third-level monster you ordered is here?"

""Ms. Lily, I am sure!" Ironbone Wolf vowed.

It was about five meters tall, with green fur all over its body and a bald tail.

"Yesterday, I received an order from it to come here and inform it as soon as I have any news. It won't be wrong."

"Why can't I find it?" Lily said impatiently,"This place is so small, are you kidding me?"

""Ah! I am wronged." The Iron Wolf howled, tears in its eyes, and looked aggrieved. It communicated in animal language.

Lily saw its sincere attitude and no longer doubted it. She asked the Iron Wolf to think carefully about whether it had forgotten something.

The Iron Wolf nodded repeatedly and immediately looked thoughtful.

Lily saw that it was serious and did not interrupt it, looking away. Seeing this, the Iron Wolf's eyes flashed with viciousness, and sneered in his heart.

"When Lord Huo Min comes, it will be the end of you, the fox demon."

At this moment, Lily didn't know that Tiegu Wolf was Huo Fu's last subordinate. She was deceived.

Tiegu Wolf was originally looking for other companions, but it couldn't find them after searching for these days. Finally, it found Lily.

It was scared to death at the time and thought it was exposed.

Unexpectedly, Lily actually asked it for information about its companions. Tiegu Wolf figured it out in an instant. There must be an accident with Huo Fu.

Tiegu Wolf has always believed in its own IQ.

Their clan is much smarter than the monsters of the same level, so they immediately decided to disguise themselves and take Lily to find Huo Min.

However, Qingshui County is too big, and Tiegu Wolf can't contact Huo Min's team for a while, so it can only take Lily to wander around the place where it thinks it might meet Huo Min.

"Lady Lily, please believe me, I will definitely help you find that abominable monster today!"

"Well, speed up."

"yes!"
