Chapter 1811: Thick Earth Essence Fruit
The piece of tree bark slowly rose, and six spindly legs appeared below it . It was a strange fist-sized mantis .
It was right behind Long Chen . One of its sharp legs silently pierced toward him .
It had just moved when it was sent flying by a flick of Long Chen’s finger . It smashed into the tree and exploded .
When it exploded, Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed . He found that when it exploded, a disgusting stench rapidly filled the air . The Heaven Devouring Ants flying through the sky suddenly split their formation, with a portion of them flying over to Long Chen . The mantis’s stench had attracted them .
“Fuck, isn’t this too unlucky?!” cried Long Chen . He turned and fled .
The Heaven Devouring Ants were attracted to the commotion, and a portion of them immediately began to chase him .
They were extremely fast . They smashed through the trees in between them and Long Chen .
From a distance, it was like an angry dragon was winding its way toward Long Chen, blowing apart all obstacles in its path .
“Aren’t they too fast?!” Long Chen cursed . Their wings seemed to be tearing through the void . Their speed was hard to believe .
When he turned back and saw the sticky fluid dripping out of their pincers, he felt a chill . If bitten, that poison was not something an ordinary person could endure .
Even the Sword Spine Armor Dragon with its terrifying defenses was unable to resist that poison .
Suddenly, green dragon scales covered Long Chen’s body . He had summoned the Green Dragon Battle Armor .
“It’s useless . The Heaven Devouring Ants have low intelligence and cannot sense the might of your dragon blood . You can’t scare them away,” said Evilmoon .
The might of dragon blood was able to suppress all other beasts . That was due to the innate reverence those beasts felt . However, it was only useful against beasts with brains .
These Heaven Devouring Ants were not intelligent enough . They continued to charge after him .
“Then what am I supposed to do? Kill them?” raged Long Chen .
“That’s no good either . If you kill them, they’ll send out a message that will draw over hundreds and thousands of times the ants . You should just run . These things are very irritating . Other Magical Beasts are also irritated by them, so even the other beasts in the surroundings aren’t bothering with you when you charge into their territory . Seeing the Heaven Devouring Ants chasing you, as long as you don’t charge into their nests, they’ll avoid you,” said Evilmoon .
Was it really possible to possess such heaven-defying bad luck? He had just started roaming around when he was hunted down by an army of Heaven Devouring Ants .
Since Evilmoon said that other Magical Beasts also tried to avoid these Heaven Devouring Ants, Long Chen chose to jump out of the forest and fly through the air .
As Evilmoon had said, despite sensing several powerful auras as he passed through their territory, those powerful existences only let out low growls of warning and didn’t attack Long Chen .
There were hundreds of thousands of Heaven Devouring Ants chasing him . Long Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened . If everyone was afraid of these Heaven Devouring Ants, weren’t they also a protective talisman?
When he thought of that, he charged into the territory of one of those powerful Magical Beasts, ignoring its roar .
“What are you doing?!” shouted Evilmoon .
Long Chen didn’t reply . He charged straight toward that powerful aura . He quickly saw a mountain with a tiger standing at the peak .
The tiger’s fur was standing on end . It was ready to attack at any moment . It was a twelfth rank Magical Beast and roared at Long Chen threateningly .
“What are you shouting for? Come and bite me!”
Long Chen charged straight at it . The tiger found that its roars were unable to frighten Long Chen away, so it actually turned tail and fled from its home .
“Hey, brother tiger, don’t run! I still have something to discuss with you!” shouted Long Chen, but the tiger ignored him . Its huge body instantly vanished .
“Coward! Don’t you feel ashamed of your title as king of the forest?! What happened to your dignity? Your integrity?! You… oh, nice, treasures!”
Long Chen suddenly noticed a certain tree on the mountain . The mountain was bare except for this one tree . It was extremely conspicuous .
The tree had brownish-yellow fruit growing on it . Each of them was the size of a plate, and they shone faintly .
Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength reached out . He was shocked to find that although this tree was three thousand meters tall, its roots were spread throughout the giant mountain . There was an endless amount of earth energy being absorbed by it .
“It’s the Thick Earth Essence Fruit! The earth essence makes it a divine fruit for earth cultivators!” Long Chen laughed delightedly . He rushed toward it, but after a moment’s hesitation, he didn’t take it . Instead, he used his Spiritual Strength to grab half the matured fruit .
This tree was being guarded by that tiger . It took ten thousand years to bloom, ten thousand years to bear fruit, and ten thousand years for that fruit to mature .
The tiger had been guarding it bitterly for so long . If he took the entire tree, he’d feel bad .
More importantly, this tree was too big and would take him some time to transplant . When the Heaven Devouring Ants arrived, they wouldn’t care how precious this tree was . They would definitely destroy it in their desire to kill him, and that would be a waste of a natural treasure .
Long Chen gathered half the fruit and cut off one of its branches, tossing it into the primal chaos space .
The branch quickly began to grow roots and thrive in the primal chaos space . Seeing there was no problem, Long Chen changed directions, bringing the army of Heaven Devouring Ants away .
He finally experienced how refreshing it was to exploit someone else’s power for his own gain . He scared off three powerful twelfth rank Magical Beasts in a row, but regretfully, other than the Thick Earth Essence Fruit, he didn’t gain anything else .
He knew that the territory of twelfth rank Magical Beasts could not be ordinary . They had to have precious medicines or divine fruit somewhere, or they wouldn’t make that place their territory .
Regretfully, the army of Heaven Devouring Ants didn’t give him enough time to look around .
As he ran, he experienced just how terrifying this Yin Yang World was . There were terrifying Magical Beasts everywhere . Twelfth rank Magical Beasts were on the level of Netherpassage experts . Without a divine item, ordinary Netherpassage experts weren’t even a match for these Magical Beasts .
In particular, he sensed an even more terrifying existence as he ran, but he decided not to go mess around there . That terrifying existence gave him an extremely dangerous feeling .
That sensation of danger was even greater than what came from the army of Heaven Devouring Ants behind him . If that Magical Beast wasn’t afraid of the Heaven Devouring Ants, he would be caught between the two of them . That was definitely too dangerous .
As he ran, Long Chen didn’t use the Celestial Lightning Body Blink . He wanted to see if he could profit a bit more from the Heaven Devouring Ants .
He turned, going in the direction that he had picked out originally . A long train of ants followed him as he flew through the air . They were like attendants sending off him, the emperor .
“That feeling is growing more distinct . It seems it’s nearby,” said Evilmoon .
Long Chen nodded . He also sensed an aura that was both familiar yet foreign . It was very strange .
“Hey, why did they leave?” Long Chen suddenly saw that the Heaven Devouring Ants following him had dropped in number . A few of them had flown off, and another portion was starting to slow down .
There were now only ten thousand of them left . Long Chen suddenly turned and attacked them .
“What the?! Brat, you’re crazy! Have you started to feel emotional toward them after being chased for so long?!” shouted Evilmoon, unable to comprehend just what Long Chen was thinking .
When Long Chen turned against them, those Heaven Devouring Ants were provoked, and the ones that had been slowing down once more shot after him .
However, many of them had already left . There were only twenty to thirty thousand of them left . That was still terrifying enough . Their black bodies filled the sky .
BOOM!
Long Chen extended a hand . A giant cauldron appeared and devoured those ants .
This cauldron was the Blazing Dragon Cauldron that had been with him all this time . Although it was just an Ancestral item, having been constantly nourishing it with his soul, it had reached its absolute peak . It was only the slightest bit weaker than a divine item .
The Blazing Dragon Cauldron slammed shut, and the Heaven Devouring Ants began to crazily attack from within .
Even the Blazing Dragon Cauldron was rumbling, seeming on the verge of breaking apart . Any ordinary Ancestral item would have exploded .
Long Chen slammed a hand on the Blazing Dragon Cauldron, and golden flames surged out, enveloping the cauldron . At the same time, golden threads intersected within, forming a net that bound the Heaven Devouring Ants .
As Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength erupted, those threads grew tighter and tighter until the Heaven Devouring Ants were no longer able to attack the Blazing Dragon Cauldron .
Although Long Chen had acted quickly, there were still countless cracks on the Blazing Dragon Cauldron now .
“Damn, they really are terrifying . ” Long Chen was amazed . The power of their pincers was immense . It was no wonder even twelfth rank Magical Beasts would be run off by them .
“Why waste so much effort to trap them? Are you planning on making supplements?” mocked Evilmoon .
“Hehe, these are housepets for Meng Qi . Well, you don’t need to ask . You wouldn’t understand . ” Long Chen laughed and continued in his original direction .
He quickly arrived at a giant cave . There was a hair-raising aura coming from within the cave that made cold sweat run down his back .
“What is this place?”
