Chapter 2070: Fire-Eyed Torrent!
This torrent of red is precisely the Fire-eyed Flying Ants that Zhou Yu has meticulously nurtured.
Since the last time the Fire-Eyed Ant King advanced and reached the level of a Level 5 Demon Beast, Zhou Yu has been using the Spiritual Medicine to let it lay eggs and reproduce in the Four Directions Realm.
With the accelerated time of the Four Directions Realm, almost a hundred years have passed for the Fire-Eyed Ant King during this period.
During this century, the Fire-Eyed Ant King has laid over a million offspring.
However, Zhou Yu also discovered two problems.
The first problem is that the more living creatures there are in the Four Directions Realm, the more Chaos Mother Qi is consumed when accelerating time.
Especially when the number of Fire-eyed Flying Ants first exceeded 500,000, it was very evident that the consumption of Chaos Mother Qi in the Four Directions Realm suddenly multiplied several times.
This frightened Zhou Yu into halting the reproduction of the Fire-Eyed Ant King immediately.
After all, there are still over ten thousand Spiritual Medicines planted in his Four Directions Realm, some of which are over ten thousand years old, and their consumption of Chaos Mother Qi is also astonishing.
Subsequently, Zhou Yu realized that the time acceleration function of the Four Directions Realm is not limitless, and he needed to calculate the age and number of Spiritual Medicines and Spiritual Insects inside to achieve a balance between the replenishment and consumption of Chaos Mother Qi as much as possible.
Only then can the functions of the Four Directions Realm be maximized.
The second problem is that Zhou Yu found that among the offspring reproduced by the Level 5 Demon Beast Fire-Eyed Ant King, approximately 70% are Level 3 Fire-eyed Flying Ants, 10% are Level 4 Fire-eyed Flying Ants, and the rest are Level 2 or even a small number of Level 1 existences.
So, Zhou Yu kept all the Level 4 Fire-eyed Flying Ants, while the rest were released to fend for themselves.
As time passed, the number of Level 4 Demon Beast Fire-eyed Flying Ants living in the Four Directions Realm also reached nearly ten thousand.
At this moment, the half that Zhou Yu released are from this ten thousand.
The sight of five thousand Level 4 Demon Beasts flying out together even startled Zhou Yu, the owner.
The dense swarm of Fire-eyed Flying Ants was like a raging flood, covering the sky and earth, surging toward Hong Feng True Man.
Of course, the first to be impacted were the dozen true forms of the Mutated Spirit Chi Beast.
Almost at an instant, the dozen true forms were completely covered by the Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
Under the gnawing of the Fire-eyed Flying Ants, those dozen true forms shrank by a third almost in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the Spirit Chi Beast let out a piercing wail.
Seeing this scene, Hong Feng True Man’s face was full of shock.
"Level 4 Fire-eyed Flying Ants, how is this possible!!!"
"You can actually control so many Fire-eyed Flying Ants!!!"
Of course, although Hong Feng True Man was extremely shocked, he wasn’t just standing there.
He immediately exerted his full Mana, and launched two fierce punches toward the torrent-like Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
"Die for me!"
It must be said, Hong Feng True Man is indeed a master of the Void Refining Realm Level.
As his two punches blasted out,
that terrifying Mana exploded among the swarm of Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
In an instant, hundreds of Fire-eyed Flying Ants were blown to pieces.
However, seeing this scene, Zhou Yu wasn’t distressed at all; he waved his hand again, releasing even more Fire-eyed Flying Ants to fly out.
Witnessing this, Hong Feng True Man’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
He roared angrily, then cast a Spell, finally summoning back the Spirit Chi Beast that was almost entirely devoured.
Immediately after, Hong Feng True Man used his movement technique to flee hurriedly behind him.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared over the horizon.
Seeing Hong Feng True Man flee, Zhou Yu did not pursue.
After all, this person was still a strong player of the Void Refining Realm Level; scaring him off relying on the Fire-eyed Flying Ants was already an incredible feat.
However, in the next moment, Zhou Yu’s attention was captured by the Fire-eyed Flying Ants in front of him.
The group of Fire-eyed Flying Ants that had just devoured the Spirit Chi Beast now bore streaks of gray patterns on their bodies.
Being very familiar with the physical structure of Fire-eyed Flying Ants, Zhou Yu was certain that previously, these Fire-eyed Flying Ants absolutely did not have these patterns.
Could it be...?
A flash of brilliance suddenly appeared in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Could it be that these Fire-eyed Flying Ants mutated after devouring the Mutated Spirit Chi Beast?
Yes, it’s very possible!
It’s just unclear whether this mutation is good or bad.
Of course, it’s impossible to study it thoroughly at this moment.
Zhou Yu promptly collected all the Fire-eyed Flying Ants, then glanced in a direction, and his figure turned into a black shadow, rapidly fleeing into the distance.
Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
During these five days, Zhou Yu had been continuously on the move.
He was worried that Hong Feng True Man or other members of the Phantom Clan might catch up with him again.
However, after five days, no one appeared behind him.
From the looks of it, Hong Feng True Man must have been seriously frightened, and the Phantom Clan has given up on their pursuit of him.
Now, he’s safe, but he doesn’t know how the others are doing?
As Zhou Yu was pondering, he suddenly reached for his Storage Ring, and the next moment, a completely crystalline Talisman appeared in his palm.
The Talisman was flashing.
Zhou Yu immediately focused his Divine Sense into it, and after a moment, he opened his eyes, with a peculiar look in his eyes.
Then he adjusted his direction and sped away at full speed.
...
Here, is one of the rare forested areas in the Gobi Desert.
Calling it a forest might be an exaggeration, as it’s really just a mass of barren, dead trees.
From these barren dead woods, one can faintly see that tens of thousands of years ago, this place should have been lush and verdant.
Unfortunately, now, everything has withered away.
And suddenly, in this deadwood forest, two figures appeared.
These two were Xiao Baifeng and the boy with the surname Long.
Both of them bore some injuries more or less, and they were currently a hundred meters apart, each healing and recovering.
After an unknown amount of time, they suddenly opened their eyes simultaneously and looked into the distance.
In the distant horizon, a white shadow was rushing toward them.
Shortly, it appeared before them.
This woman was none other than Ye Ling.
Upon seeing Xiao Baifeng and the boy with the surname Long, Ye Ling’s eyes glimmered, and she smiled:
"It seems both of you gentlemen emerged unscathed."
Xiao Baifeng and the boy with the surname Long immediately scrutinized Ye Ling thoroughly.
They found Ye Ling entirely unharmed, with not even a hint of exhaustion noticeable on her.
A flicker of doubt flashed in Xiao Baifeng’s eyes, and she asked tactfully:
"Ye Dao You, those Phantom Clan people who were pursuing you?"
Ye Ling smiled slightly.
"It was just my luck, the ones chasing me were little lackeys, whom I easily shook off."
Hearing this, a shadow loomed in Xiao Baifeng’s eyes, but she said blandly:
"Ye Dao You’s luck is indeed quite good, then."
Meanwhile, the boy with the surname Long seemed quite excited about Ye Ling’s safe return.
"See, I told you, heaven protects the good ones like Ye Dao You."
"As long as you’re safe, it’s all good, it’s all good!"
Then he shifted the topic.
"But I wonder how Li Dao You and Zhou Yu are!"
"Could it be..."
