Chapter 267 Earth's Vein Fire
It sensed its master's presence approaching.
The two great demons immediately perked up, their howls and cries becoming much more arrogant, as if they had found their leader.
The two demons were raised by Lin Changsheng from a young age and rose all the way to become third-tier great demons.
Although I have surpassed my master in terms of cultivation level, I still feel incredibly at ease with my master by my side.
The next moment, Lin Changsheng felt a powerful will evenly covering the thousands of crimson demon ants around him.
They launched a frenzied attack on the Crimson Centipede and the Wind Crow.
At first, due to the two demons' size and power advantage, large numbers of crimson demon ants died, like rain.
However, as time went by, under wave after wave of attacks, the two demons were gradually suppressed and fell into a disadvantageous position.
Just then, a faint buzzing sound came from afar.
A large, silvery cloud of insects, tinged with green, drifted across the sky.
From afar to near, they blotted out the sky, densely packed.
In an instant, the swarm of insects and the crimson demonic ants intertwined, making the scene even more chaotic.
Large numbers of crimson demonic ants and bright silver insects tore and bit in the air and fell to the ground, creating a rain of insects within a radius of several hundred feet.
Many of the crimson demon ants and bright silver insects that lost their wings and fell to the ground did not die immediately, but continued to tear each other apart.
In terms of individual strength, the Silver Insect is small in size and is no match for the Crimson Demon Ant.
However, the silver worm has the advantage of stronger recovery ability.
One by one, the wounded and falling silver insects, their hard silver shells shimmering with a greenish luster, flapped their wings again after a moment and rejoined the battle.
The crimson demon ants, which initially held an absolute advantage, were gradually reduced in number and turned to a disadvantage due to the relentless attrition by the bright silver ants.
At this moment, another powerful thought was transmitted from below.
The crimson demon ants abandoned their fight and began to burrow into the yellow sand below.
"Want to run!"
Lin Changsheng sneered and immediately waved his hand to collect the dense cloud of insects into his spirit beast pouch.
At the same time, he also put away the Xunfeng Crow and the Chihuang Centipede.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Changsheng activated the Earth Escape Talisman in his hand, and his entire body, enveloped in earth-attribute aura, merged into the yellow sand.
Deep underground, hundreds of feet below, there were all sorts of interconnected underground tunnels!
At the end of the passage was a huge, crimson demon ant, as large as a small hill.
A powerful aura of a mid-stage third-tier demon was continuously released from its body.
Compared to the enormous, plump body of the demonic ant, its limbs appeared far too small, and its movements were extremely slow.
The crimson demon ants that had previously burrowed underground are now gathered around the giant demon ant, looking as if they are determined to protect it to the death.
"It really is a third-tier ant king demon!"
Lin Changsheng's eyes flickered, revealing an expression of "I knew it," and he murmured with a hint of surprise.
He had already guessed something when he sensed that power that could control the swarm of crimson demon ants.
This ant king demon can produce a massive army of its own kind in a short period of time, and its sheer numbers can almost overwhelm other demons of the same level.
'True Man of Heavenly Poison' once saw a cultivator in the cultivation world of Gunzhou who had subdued a third-tier ant king demon and built an army of hundreds of thousands of ants in the desert to search for resources.
"Unfortunately, this third-tier demon is already an adult and cannot be nurtured or have an emotional bond established with it by humans."
Lin Changsheng felt great regret.
'boom! ’
Soon, Lin Changsheng released the Crimson Centipede and the Wind Crow, two powerful demons.
Combined with swarms of bright silver insects and a variety of emerging spells and talismans.
Finally, a talisman that had been nurtured for many years was used to pierce through the body of this third-tier ant king demon, killing it.
Although a third-tier ant king can command the ant colony, search for various rare and precious materials in the desert, or overwhelm its peers with sheer numbers.
However, its disadvantages are equally obvious: its combat strength is weak, and once discovered, it has almost no means of self-defense.
Before long, a fresh third-tier demon core appeared in Lin Changsheng's storage bag.
As for the corpse of the third-tier ant king, it was left to the Crimson Centipede and the Wind Crow.
In the two years since arriving in Wuqiu Kingdom, the Crimson Centipede and the Wind Crow have been left to their own devices by Lin Changsheng.
They live self-sufficiently in the vast desert.
……
Chitao tribe.
"Sister, why do you always speak up for that outsider? Do you like that alchemist surnamed Lin?"
Inside a stone house covered with various animal hides, a tall, burly young man, about eight feet tall, with a slightly furrowed brow, questioned the girl, A-Yue, in a deep voice.
“Brother, Brother Lin has been here for almost two years, spending all his time refining pills for you. In exchange, you should recommend him to borrow the earth vein fire in Iron Star City.”
A hint of unease flashed across the girl A-Yue's face, but she quickly argued her case.
"Nonsense! When did it become your place as women to make decisions in tribal affairs!"
“If you really like him, I can arrange for him to stay in the tribe. But these outsiders are too weak. Their children will be far inferior to our tribe’s warriors and will be looked down upon!”
The young man's strong muscles bulged high, his robust body resembling a heavy mountain, as he rebuked in a deep voice.
"Brother, you're being unreasonable!"
"Don't think I don't know, Brother Lin helped you refine so many Blood-Turning Pills, which is almost equivalent to the amount that other tribes' alchemists have made in five or six years!"
"You should recommend him to Iron Star City to use the Leyline Fire!"
Ah Yue changed her gentle image in front of Lin Changsheng, becoming bold and feisty.
This reflects the straightforward nature of women from Wuqiu Kingdom; they are passionate and decisive in love and hate.
'Boom! '
The young man, like a raging bull, smashed the stone table in front of him to pieces.
"What do you know! Once he uses up the ley line fire, he'll leave our tribe! He won't have any regrets. Do you really think he'll stay for you? Don't be silly, sister!"
"Even if he leaves, it's Brother Lin's own choice! I just want to help Brother Lin get what he wants!"
"You stupid girl, you're making me so angry! Get out of here!"
Inside the stone house, the young man's furious roar could be heard.
With red eyes, the young girl, A-Yue, rushed out the door.
A moment later, the young man's calm voice came from inside the stone house again.
"Go to Iron Star City and ask about the situation with the Leyline Fire. Tell them that I, Amuli, need it!"
……
Two months later.
A huge stone city full of frontier style.
“Master Lin, if it weren’t for my sister’s constant pleas, I, Amuli, would never have allowed you to come so soon. Your alchemy skills are very high, and letting you leave would be a loss for our Chitao tribe.”
In Iron Star City, in front of a secret chamber that leads directly to the earth's veins, Amuli, whose height was almost two heads taller than Lin Changsheng, said with some regret.
"Many thanks to Chief Amuli and the Chitao tribe for their recommendation. I will remember it forever."
Lin Changsheng clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression sincere.
Compared to Amu Li, who was at the near-third-level body refinement stage, Lin Changsheng appeared even more frail; his waist seemed to be thinner than Amu Li's arm.
"This is the Earth Vein Fire. You have one month to use it. I know many of you alchemists need the Earth Vein Fire to refine pills, which is why you agreed to stay with our tribe. After one month, you can leave on your own and don't need to come back."
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Amuli. I have already reserved enough Tengxue Pills for your tribe for the next two years before I came."
Lin Changsheng looked at the departing burly man and said with a hint of gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Amuli paused slightly, then turned and left without looking back.
Lin Changsheng then began to survey his surroundings.
"The earth's fire, with its rich fire element, enhances alchemy."
"Under these conditions, the success rate of refining the Golden Core pill increases by at least 50%!"
Lin Changsheng pondered this in his heart, feeling somewhat excited.
