Chapter 1078 Infiltrating the Soul-Devouring Ant Nest

"You're wrong. There aren't many Soul Masters with my strength in this day and age."

"The number of Soul Masters has indeed increased compared to the past, but the number of top-tier experts is far less than in your era."

As Tang Lan spoke, she walked forward, holding a black knife.

With a swift movement, Tang Lan plunged the black blade into the belly of the winged black tiger, unleashing the terrifying devouring power within the blade.

The once-vigorous vitality of the winged black tiger was gradually fading at a visible rate.

Until the Black Blade slaughter completely drained the life force from his body.

Tang Lan didn't take these two soul beasts, which were over 200,000 years old, seriously at all, so naturally she wouldn't absorb them into soul rings; she wondered if they were soul spirits.

They came to Tang Lan's door this time wanting to devour her, and even if they were killed by Tang Lan, it would be a matter of cause and effect.

"Let's go. This time, we have to get out of here no matter what."

"Even if the nest of the Soul-Devouring Ants is dangerous, we have no other choice."

Tang Lan knew very well that this place was probably the space that person had created back then, and the only way to leave was through the passage left by that person.

"Actually, there is another way, but it's not much different from not having one."

"That means we need to find a way to lure most of the Soul-Devouring Ants away from their nest; that will give us a better chance."

Ning Xian spoke from within the black sword.

But even he didn't think this idea could succeed, given the sheer number of Soul-Devouring Ants.

Tang Lan was the only one there, and Ning Xian was unable to escape from the black blade, at least not now.

"Hmm? Your method is quite good, but we need to observe exactly how many ants are in the nest inside the Soul-Devouring Ants."

"Only by knowing the exact number can I determine how confident I am in attracting them out."

After Tang Lan finished speaking, she headed straight east at high speed.

Half an hour later, Tang Lan slowly turned her back on a mountain path and leaned against a tree trunk.

On the opposite side of the mountain lies the nest of the Soul-Devouring Ants, which is also a vast canyon.

There are many huge mounds in the canyon, and the mounds are surrounded by extremely fine gravel soil.

Soul-devouring ants, about the size of small calves, would occasionally appear around.

Tang Lan immediately recognized these as guard ants from the Soul-Devouring Ant colony.

They are the largest and strongest members of the Soul-Devouring Ant colony, responsible for protecting the nest from external enemies.

The smaller ones are responsible for various tasks and are called soul-devouring worker ants by humans.

However, Tang Lan observed for a long time but still couldn't see the queen ant. The queen ant has a very high status in the colony and is only responsible for laying eggs in the nest.

The number of queen ants in a colony will not exceed two hundred.

These two hundred alone can breed tens of thousands of Soul-Devouring Ants. The size of a colony is closely related to the number of queen ants.

"Kid, what are you planning to do?"

Ning Xian, the spirit within the Black Blade Slaughter, asked.

"Naturally, we need to attract their attention. Watch closely!"

Tang Lan smiled calmly, then made a lifting gesture with her palm pointing into the distance.

In an instant, Tang Lan's eighth and sixth spirit rings shone brightly, and he activated Soul Control and Baxia Domain.

Furthermore, with the addition of Baxia's right palm bone to the earth's power, a strange ripple of power began to appear beneath the earth within a radius of thirty miles.

Then these ripples and grooves mobilized the earth's power, creating sand wolves on the ground.

With their dark brown eyes wide open, they began to move quickly toward the nest of the Soul-Devouring Ants.

This scene continued to unfold in various locations outside the valley, and for a time, even the ground began to shake.

The number of puppet hyenas that Tang Lan has launched this time will definitely not be less than 10,000.

To eliminate these puppets, more than twice the number of Soul-Devouring Ants must be mobilized simultaneously.

Not long after, commotion also broke out in the valley.

One after another, soul-devouring ants swarmed out from dozens of caves, like a disciplined army, and began to rush toward the three important valley entrances.

In an instant, swarms of soul-devouring ants filled every corner of the valley.

The trees and wild animals that originally grew in the valley would be instantly devoured into skeletons when they encountered the Soul-Devouring Ants.

The agitated swarm of Soul-Eating Ants will destroy everything in order to protect the nest and the queen ant within.

"Boy, they've all left, aren't you going to make a move?"

After waiting for quite a while, seeing that most of the Soul-Devouring Ants in the valley had left, Ning Xian asked.

However, Tang Lan shook her head and said, "It's not time yet."

The latest novel is first published here!

At first, Ning Xian was curious about what the sentence meant, but he soon realized it.

Suddenly, a giant Soul-Devouring Ant, several times larger than the previous nest guards, appeared in the nest of the Soul-Devouring Ants.

These creatures are now about the same size as an adult water buffalo.

They burst forth from the ground, with powerful wings even extending from their backs.

With the hurricane created by their wings, these soul-devouring ants actually took flight, and at an extremely fast speed.

Compared to the Soul-Devouring Ants that could only fly three zhang high, these guys could easily reach thirty zhang high in a few breaths.

They are like divine guards in the sky, watching over everything around them.

Occasionally, the strange sound waves it spews out can even control many powerful soul beasts, after which a large number of soul-devouring ants will swarm over it.

"What's going on? These soul-devouring ants look very different from the ones I've seen before."

"Could it be that after all these years, even the Soul-Devouring Ants have evolved into an even more powerful race?"

"We do not yet know how many of these giant soul-devouring ants are still in the nest."

"If they discover us, with these powerful giant soul-devouring ants around, you'll be in danger."

Ning Xian spoke with some concern.

Tang Lan remained unmoved, simply replying, "Don't worry, they won't come back!"

This time, Tang Lan squandered half of her newly recovered soul power to summon the earth sand wolves to harass the soul-devouring ant swarm.

The Earth Sand Wolf was created by Tang Lan's soul skill. It does not possess fear and is a fearless warrior.

Tang Lan's goal is to find the trial exit and leave before the swarm of Soul-Devouring Ants returns.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Tang Lan immediately darted out from behind the boulder and rushed into the valley.

The figure beneath his feet moved elusively, each light touch of the ground making him appear dozens of feet away as if skimming the water.

Tang Lan's movements were silent, and she concealed her presence at the same time.

Unless Tang Lan deliberately exposes herself, the Soul-Devouring Ants will have a hard time detecting the presence of an outsider in their nest in a short period of time.

Upon arriving at the bottom of the valley, Tang Lan chose the largest of the Soul-Devouring Ant caves.

Entering the cave, it seemed no different from what people expected it to be. (End of Chapter)
