Chapter 2010 - 2003: Speed Up
"Good thing..." Black lines appeared on Li Mosi’s forehead. Such a dangerous situation, yet he called it a good thing? Even a Martial Artist ten times stronger than Li Mosi would end up crushed to pieces if surrounded by millions of Blood Demon Ants.
But seeing Zhang Menglong’s extremely excited expression, anyone unaware might think there are countless treasures waiting for him to grab in this Demon Ant Nest!
"Brother, I’m serious. The Demon Ant Nest is extremely dangerous now. It’s definitely a disadvantage for anyone entering alone!" Although Li Mosi was shocked by the power of the Flame Lotus just now, he was still filled with concern about it.
Indeed, one move can kill tens of thousands of Blood Demon Ants, but given the huge number of Blood Demon Ants, those tens of thousands are nothing, just creating a gap in the Ant army, a gap that will be filled immediately by other Blood Demon Ants.
"I’m serious too," Zhang Menglong said seriously, "Brother, you should take care of your injuries. Leave me alone!"
After saying this, Zhang Menglong left some supplies for Li Mosi and headed directly towards the direction of the Demon Ant Nest.
...
The inside of the Demon Ant Nest was pitch black, and there was a hint of the heat left by the flames in the air. But after entering a little deeper, Zhang Menglong felt a cold dampness.
The Demon Ant Nest was actually very spacious, not really giving the feeling of a cave. Its height exceeded a hundred meters, with many intersecting rock passages and stalagmites. In such a complex route, not getting lost is already quite good; Li Mosi being able to escape was indeed a miracle.
"Swish!"
A blaze appeared in Zhang Menglong’s palm, and the entire passage suddenly became extremely bright. Just now, Li Mosi had informed Zhang Menglong some information about the Demon Ant Nest, where he was now was just the entrance corridor of the Demon Ant Nest, the inside of the nest had more to it.
He was lucky not to encounter the Blood Demon Ant army at the entrance, otherwise, with the only exit blocked, he wouldn’t survive even with a hundred lives.
The passage was long enough for dozens of kilometers, though those Blood Demon Ants chasing Li Mosi seemed to have retreated, and none could be seen along the way.
"Holy sh*t!" At a corner, Zhang Menglong’s foot suddenly lost ground, nearly dropping into a pit. The small stones he stepped on fell into the cave, taking a long time to reach the ground, eventually followed by a series of hissing sounds from below.
Zhang Menglong threw a ball of Strange Fire as a light source, and as the Strange Fire spread, the entire space below the cave was illuminated.
"Hiss!" Zhang Menglong gasped as below was a sea of Blood Demon Ants, extending beyond view. The numbers didn’t just stop at tens of millions, truly terrifying would give anyone chills from just a glance.
Before Zhang Menglong could recover, large groups of Blood Demon Ants appeared on the passages ahead and behind him!
"It’s a trap!" Zhang Menglong immediately realized he seemed to have fallen into a trap designed by the Blood Demon Ants. They pretended that there were no Blood Demon Ants in the passage, but in reality, they had been lying in wait, ready to spring the trap!
Now all paths were blocked by the Blood Demon Ants, with no escape space left, Zhang Menglong indeed found himself in a critical situation!
Zhang Menglong leaped down, floating in mid-air where there were fewer Blood Demon Ants, likely only twenty or thirty thousand, but below, the army of tens of millions was menacingly intimidating to anyone.
The Blood Demon Ants below clearly noticed Zhang Menglong and gathered towards his direction, almost forming a small hill.
In fact, the Blood Demon Ants’ strength could easily allow them to leap to this height, but being crowded together, they couldn’t unfold properly and had to resort to forming a human ladder.
If Li Mosi knew Zhang Menglong’s current predicament, he would surely draw a long breath in concern for him.
"Hehehe!" Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but laugh, "They really are rushing to be cooked! They won’t seriously think surrounding me can kill me, right?"
The Warcraft information charts Zhang Menglong purchased indicated some weaknesses of Warcraft, and the weak point of these Blood Demon Ants was precisely fire!
Zhang Menglong’s control over Strange Fire had reached an arbitrary level, his normal strength compared to Peak of Dao Realm at First-grade, now promoted to Third Grade, his strength was not inferior even to Lord level Warcraft!
Two balls of Destruction Fire Lotus formed in his hands and were thrown up and down simultaneously, instantly like two nuclear bombs exploding...
The whole mountain range roared with an earth-shattering explosion, countless Warcraft in the forests frightened into jumping wildly, and even Martial Artists hunting in the mountains were so terrified, they thought a natural disaster was erupting.
"What’s happening down there?" Li Mosi didn’t immediately leave the entrance of the Demon Ant Nest; he wanted to see if Zhang Menglong could come out safely.
Not a few minutes after Zhang Menglong entered, the ground shook violently, indicating how massive the activity inside the Demon Ant Nest was.
At this moment, the entire first-layer cave of the Demon Ant Nest was like a giant furnace, countless Blood Demon Ants screaming under the temperature of Destruction Fire Lotus, while only Zhang Menglong amidst this high heat remained unmoved.
After the ground fire episode, a large vacuum area appeared below Zhang Menglong, the power of this Destruction Fire Lotus more than ten times stronger than the previous Buddha’s Fury Lotus. Especially in this narrow space, the fire spread over a range far beyond the ground level; roughly estimated, nearly two hundred thousand Blood Demon Ants were blasted to death or burned!
Though two hundred thousand Blood Demon Ants seemed just a drop in the bucket for this army of millions, it was enough to strongly intimidate these Warcraft, for some time none dared to move forward!
"All-Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!" Zhang Menglong erupted with energy, directly sucking in the war spoils from the ground. Before anyone could touch them, the dropped items on the Warcraft were enveloped by a protective cover that even Strange Fire couldn’t burn through; no one knew what kind of force formed it.
Zhang Menglong didn’t have the time to count the gains as another wave of Blood Demon Ants pressed in, even more ferocious than the last. With such numbers, clearing off this swarm of Blood Demon Ants would be no easy task.
"Let’s speed it up!" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
In an instant, dozens of identical figures appeared around Zhang Menglong, some began to rub together Flame Lotus with their bare hands, while others extended their hands to the sky, starting to gather a blue energy, the temperature in the underground space surged again, the ground quaking increasingly.
"Destruction Fire Lotus!"
"Energy Balls!"
