Chapter 68 Ant-Swallowing Tribe
The inside of the cave was not dim. On the contrary, after entering the cave, they found that there were channels surrounded by well-connected channels, with various shapes of the passages, which were obviously not deliberately dug out.
The only similarity is that the tops of these well-connected passages emit a green halo, no longer the moss that fell before. In fact, when they descended about a thousand meters, the moss disappeared. Instead, it was this kind of glowing stone. Yes, it was a stone. An unknown stone.
According to the fourth elder, these luminous green stones are in a sense the root of the Green Sea of Life. They have very powerful devouring ability, which can absorb life energy and then precipitate. Therefore, in a sense, these stones are precipitates of life energy. They have been decomposed at the bottom of this Green Sea of Life after countless years of derivation.
This kind of stone is called the life crystal. Another reason why the Shuhai tribe dares to come down easily is that they practice by absorbing life energy. Once they get here, the life crystals around them will quickly swallow their life energy, which will lead to their own cultivation declining and even in danger of life.
Neither the holy power of the Lotus Sutra or the Yuanli power of Lan Ge are made up of life energy, so naturally there is no such problem. This is also an important reason why the Tree Sea Clan wants to seek foreign aid.
"Let's go!" With the coordinates remaining, Fahua and Lan Ge don't need to deliberately look for anything. They value a cave with a wide entrance and walk inside.
The fourth elder had previously advised them not to make a rash move, otherwise once they encountered a large number of such creatures, they would immediately be in danger of life. But how could he know that there was the existence of Wushuangzhu, and the Fahua and Lan Ge, unless they encountered an existence that could kill them instantly, would not exist very much.
With the strength of the two of them, as long as they are together, with the connection of the unparalleled pearl, they can have the eighth-level combat power. When they are prepared, even the tenth-level strongman may not be able to kill them in seconds.
When you enter the channel, the light is obviously stronger because the life crystals above your head become more and more heavy.
"You said, if we knocked on a few pieces and took them out, this thing should be valuable, right?" Lan Ge said with his eyes lit up.
"Well, go back and knock." Not only did the Lotus not object, but he immediately agreed.
Lan Ge said speechlessly: "You are really typing! You are worthy of being a wealthy lover." Since he met the House of Hope, the word wealthy lover has become a compliment.
Fahua said: "The Tree Sea Clan didn't say that it could not be knocked. This life crystal should contain very rich life energy, and it should be useful."
Lan Ge shrugged, "Let's talk about it back. We are here to perform the mission. Wait!" Suddenly, he grabbed Fahua and his eyes suddenly became sharper.
Lan Ge's mental power was very strong, especially after entering the seventh level, this improvement became more obvious. As soon as he pulled the Fahua, the two of them hid in the depression on the side of the cave wall, but their eyes looked towards the depths inside.
As they looked at them, a strange creature was climbing on the top of the cave. It was a creature that looked a bit like an ant, and its appearance was very similar to an ant. The only difference was that it had a pair of front paws that looked like crab clips, and a pair of huge mouthparts similar to centipedes.
There are barbs on the front paws, which can be firmly grasped on the life crystals while crawling on the top of the cave, and its mouthparts are constantly gnawing on the life crystals.
Its tail is oval, and at the end it is not a spike. The entire tail is green like crystals, and there is light inside it.
Undoubtedly, they found the main owner. The existence in front of them looked about one meter long and looked like an ant, which was the tribe that the Shuhai tribe feared!
The Tree Sea tribe calls them ants, or life ants! No one knows how they came from and what kind of reproduction history they have. When the Tree Sea tribe unintentionally discovered them, they were already an extremely large group. This group relied on swallowing life crystals to reproduce.
In the early days, because this underground world was a forbidden area for the Shuhai tribe, the Shuhai tribe didn't care too much. But as time went by, they gradually discovered that the life ant swallowing tribe was reproductive too quickly. At the beginning, they were only found in an underground crack. In just a hundred years, such gaps began to become more and more, and their footprints were found in more and more places.
The leakage of earth energy that Green Shadow and the others said about the Lotus Sutra and Lan Ge was real. Moreover, this situation has occurred in more than a hundred places in the Green Sea of Life.
The reason why the earth's air swells is because the life crystals in that place are gnawed by ants, and the earth's air below rushes upwards, which will rush out of the ground.
After careful exploration and calculation, the elders of the Shuhai clan were shocked to find that if the life-swalking tribe was allowed to continue to devour, then for up to a thousand years, the entire sea of life would probably sink, and this ocean of life would no longer exist. The Shuhai clan was naturally in danger of extermination, and it would even affect the continuation of the entire Dharma Blue Star, the Divine Land of the Dharma Lan Star, as the fourth elder said!
After discovering the serious situation, the Shuhai tribe immediately launched a clearance of the swallowing ants. However, as the forbidden area of the Shuhai tribe, they finally killed some of the swallowing ants after paying a large number of people. However, this consumption is unaffordable for the Shuhai tribe.
In that underground world, they could not even exert one-tenth of their strength. When they encountered powerful ants, they would only become their food. In the absence of help, the Tree Sea tribe began to seek help from the outside.
At the beginning, the targets of help were mainly the monster clans and the monster clans in the demon realm. They were powerful and had stronger abilities.
However, the Green Sea of Life, a world full of treasures, has long been coveted by the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is willing to help, but the conditions proposed are naturally extremely harsh. After several cooperations, there was indeed a certain suppression of the Demon Realm, but the Demon Realm had too much appetite that the Tree Sea Clan could not bear it. What made them even more angry was that the Demon Realm deliberately controlled the suppression of the Demon Realm, so that the Demon Realm always threatened the Tree Sea Clan, so that this cooperation became normalized and sought more materials unique to the Tree Sea Clan from the Tree Sea Clan.
The Tree Sea Clan was angry and could only find another way, so they found humans.
Although humans do not have particularly powerful existences, they can be said to be the weakest tribe among the seven seas and six realms. Weakness means a reduction in the right to speak, and the Tree Sea tribe itself is extremely powerful. This makes the Tree Sea tribe dominate in cooperation with humans. As long as they are given a certain amount of reward, humans are very eager to get their friendship.
Although it is unlikely that humans will clear the ants in the core area, they still have a certain ability to deal with some ants outside and control the reproduction of ants. After a certain number of cooperation, the Shuhai tribe established a friendship with humans. To put it bluntly, it is actually because humans themselves are weak and easy to talk to.
For humans, it is equally important to obtain friendship between the Tree Sea Clan. Even if the Tree Sea Clan is not as powerful as the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan, as long as it is in the area of the Green Sea of Life, even if it is a monster, the Spirit Clan will not dare to easily explore it.
The Green Sea of Life is located in the center of the three domains of human beings. In a sense, the Tree Sea Clan is very beneficial to the entire human being as the support force of the three domains of human beings.
Therefore, the three human domains are carrying the demon domain, and with the help of the Tree Sea tribe concealing it, it has indeed become an important force for the Tree Sea tribe to fight against the swallowing of ants.
"Only one!" Lan Ge said affirmatively.
"Try it!" Fahua answered in his heart.
Lan Ge smiled, bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, raised his hand, and threw it towards the swallowing ant in the distance.
The swallowing ants are aggressive by nature but have low wisdom. Only the particularly powerful swallowing ants have higher wisdom. Because the Tree Sea Clan itself cannot penetrate into it, until now, the Tree Sea Clan does not fully understand the structure of the swallowing ants. Even the original demon world powerhouses did not penetrate into it.
According to the estimates of the Tree Sea Clan, the total number of ants swallowed has probably exceeded one million, which is the biggest threat to the Tree Sea Clan at present. If these ants swallowed the land, the Tree Sea Clan people can only helpless.
"Bang!" The stone hit the head of the swallow ant accurately. Suddenly, the swallow ant suddenly raised its head, made a strange sound of "hehe" from its mouth, and suddenly accelerated, rushed straight to them, opening and closing its mouth, and it was dark and secluded.
It crawled very quickly, a bunch of barbs with front claws were enough to make it hang on the wall of the cave, and soon approached the Fahua and Lange.
The Lotus Sutra took the initiative to greet him, the God-given Code opened, and the solid golden wisdom shield blocked him.
The swallowing ant rushed forward violently, and a pair of front claws rushed straight to the Lotus Sutra. The Lotus Sutra was determined to try the attack power of the swallowing ant, but he did not dodge and directly used a wisdom shield to greet him.
"Bang!" The great force came, and the Lotus Sutra resisted the impact with his lunge. The swallowing ant was knocked over by the wisdom shield and fell on the ground, but it immediately rushed up again, looking like it was endless.
When it hit it again, the Fahua body slightly turned, and the wisdom shield in his hand approached the front claw from the side. The swallowing ant slipped, and the power was not fully released, but its mouthpart turned around and it was a mouthful of it.
