The reason why the Red Ant King is able to stand firm on the 12th floor of the Demon Locking Tower is firstly because of his own strength, and secondly because of the existence of this crystal core.
It is precisely because of this crystal core that he can draw the boundaries of the land. Even in the battle between the demon kings, he does not have to worry about intrusion by outsiders.
Regarding the origin of the crystal core, there are different opinions in the Demon Locking Tower.
Some monsters say it is the source of the heavenly fire when the world first opened, and some monsters say it is the egg of the Golden Crow. There is no fixed answer. But the only thing they can be sure of is that the energy in this crystal core is so violent that it can turn everything into ashes!
During the battle for the demon king, the red ant king was defeated by someone's plan, and he fled here in a panic.
At this time, night was approaching, and just when they were about to be wiped out, the red ant king suddenly heard something. He hurriedly led people to kowtow to the big tree in front of him, and then came to a place to dig in the ground.
Those who were chasing and intercepting saw the strange behavior of the Red Ant King's group and thought they had given up the struggle, so they decided to get rid of them in one go.
But before the large army could get closer, a layer of red mist rose from the ground beneath their feet. Before they could even shout, they turned into black ash in an instant and became fertilizer for the vegetation here.
Although some fast-running vanguard troops left the red mist first, they were also killed in the resistance of the red ant army. Only those who had not yet had time to step into the red mist survived.
The sky became bright and the red mist dispersed. The sharp-eyed monster saw the red ant king guarding the crystal core at a glance and knew that the latter had encountered an unexpected encounter.
Although they were unwilling to do so, they also knew that they would never have the chance to attack the Red Ant King, so they retreated one after another, no longer thinking of attacking the Red Ant King.
In order to thank the crystal core and the life-saving feelings of its benefactor, the red ant king carefully protected the crystal core with a shield and led his army to station here...
…
As an outsider, Boss Tang didn't know what the secret was. He only knew that the Red Ant King's strength had grown by leaps and bounds since he had the crystal core.
Although he had longed for it before, he was powerless. Now he finally got an opportunity to get close to the crystal core, and he didn't want to miss it no matter what!
Seeing the red-armored soldier in front of him speak, Boss Tang's eyes became even hotter. He had already seen the sight of himself firmly sitting on the throne of the Demon King, and his pride was beyond words.
But strangely, the red-armored soldier in front of him suddenly fell silent before he finished speaking, and never responded at all.
"What's the only way? Just tell me! Don't worry, I am true to my word and will never treat you badly!" If he hadn't heard that the light mask cannot be forcibly destroyed, Boss Tang would have put his knife on the neck of the red-armored soldier. superior.
Seeing that the man in front of him still had no intention of responding, Boss Tang hurriedly took a step forward, only to find that the red-armored soldier had died on the spot without any warning!
"Brother! What...what's going on?" Wen Laosi also looked strange. He clearly didn't see anyone take action.
"It is your own fault. The Red Ant King has long said that leakers will only have one fate." A sneer came from the entrance of the secret room.
"Captain in red armor?" After seeing the person clearly, Boss Tang understood immediately and sneered: "You are really ruthless, you can also do something to your own people."
"Traitors deserve to die, right?" Another sarcastic voice sounded from behind the red-armored captain.
Mr. Tang tilted his head and looked, and he suddenly became angry: "You really don't want to live long. I planned to find you later, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to send me to my door!"
"I didn't want to at first, but after hearing some interesting things, I really can't wait to take a second look and see what kind of face you, the guy who betrayed his subordinates, look like?" Wu Fan chuckled again.
"You!" Boss Tang's heart thumped, "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, it's just that I suddenly felt emotional." Wu Fan jumped out of the exit and showed up swaggeringly, "You will never survive if you do something wrong. This sentence is indeed true! I kept thinking when I was on the road, what if it was that Shan Lao Er? How can we be so relaxed when we are still there? Or maybe the crystal core has already been in your hands?"
Boss Tang's expression changed, and he looked in disbelief
The inconspicuous guy in front of me: "You...who the hell are you!"
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. If your subordinates knew the true cause of Shan Laoer's death, would they still be so loyal to you?" Wu Fan shrugged. He didn't say anything, but it seemed like something was wrong. All said.
"Eldest brother..." Wen Laosi frowned, "Second brother, he is..."
"Shut up!" Boss Tang sternly interrupted Wen Laosi's inquiry, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he is clearly disrupting the morale of the army! Come on! Come on! Get rid of both of them... No, no, no, Let’s save the captain’s life first. The red-armored soldier said that he knows how to open the shield!”
"Oh? Boss Tang, are you angry? If Shan Laoer is still here, who do you think he will help?" Wu Fan laughed again.
"Come on! Watch what I do! Come on!"
Boss Tang's remaining single eye was full of fierce light, and his majesty remained undiminished. The group of men finally killed him.
"Fourth Brother! Are you also doubting me?" Seeing that Old Fourth Wen still didn't move, Boss Tang frowned.
"Wen Laosi's life was given by his eldest brother. I have never doubted him!" Wen Laosi smiled and joined the battle from the air with a group of subordinates behind him.
The pagoda-like crystal core was right in front of him, which made Boss Tang feel itchy. He only hated that this shield was too ruthless and blocked his opportunities from both sides.
"The red-armored captain will not speak honestly no matter what. There must be other ways to open the shield...there are other ways!"
Although Boss Tang didn't know why the visitor knew about it, he was panicking when he saw his scandal exposed, like an ant on a hot pot circling around the shield.
Although he didn't think the other two were capable of defeating his own men, once the outcome was determined, if he could no longer obtain the crystal core, the result would only be disaster...
…
Although this secret room is called a secret room, the actual space is vast and vast, comparable to the world.
Wu Fan originally thought that even if Ma Laosan couldn't count, there wouldn't be a big difference in the numbers. But the overwhelming tide of monsters in front of him gave him a headache.
If I had known this, I should have brought one more kid here. Although I couldn't turn the tide, I wouldn't be in such a hurry as now...
Although the monsters on the ground are vying for the first place, fortunately, the number that can be killed in front of them is always fixed.
But since Wen Laosi's men joined the battle, the red-armored captain could only connect the handles of the two broadswords together and dance them into a ring blade in front of him, so that he could take good care of himself.
"Listen! This is our red ant army's private matter. We really don't dare to involve you! I will clean up the entrance later, and you and the two of them can take the opportunity to leave!" With one move, he repeled the monster in front of him. The red-armored captain hurriedly said to Wu Fan behind him.
"What about...the crystal core?" Wu Fan borrowed a big knife from Xiao Guier. Although it looked very heavy, it was strangely easy for Wu Fan to use.
The red-armored captain looked serious: "Please tell Mu Lao for me, even if I die, I will not let the crystal core fall into the hands of others!"
It was obvious that the red-armored captain, who was covered in wounds, was ready to die.
"Don't worry, these monsters are just better in numbers. Although they are a little more troublesome to deal with, they are not a threat at all!"
Two black shadows jumped up from Wu Fan's left and right, tearing the monster beasts above his head into pieces as he spoke.
"But Mu Lao said..."
"There's nothing good about it." Wu Fan stopped the red-armored captain, "Now, our goals are exactly the same! If that Boss Tang succeeds, no one will be easy in the end!"
"Then what do you mean..." Thinking that this was indeed the case, the red-armored captain nodded slightly and did not refuse.
"Besides Boss Tang, the most dangerous thing now is the guy who has never taken action." After repelling the monster in front of him, Wu Fan winked with the red-armored soldier.
The red-armored soldier looked up and saw that Nawen Laosi was still floating in the air with his arms folded as before. Although he didn't seem to care, his eyes revealed his intentions, and he was clearly waiting for an opportunity.
"This cunning guy..." The red-armored captain only regretted that he couldn't grow wings, gritting his teeth in his heart.
Because of this hidden danger, he had to be on guard at all times, so he was negligent and received those few hidden shots.
"Enjoy this hard-earned pain! It won't take long for you to become my delicious meal!" Seeing the movements of the two people below him getting slower and slower, Wen Laosi could no longer hold back and wanted to take a good suck! But those two black shadows seemed to be tireless, making him afraid to act rashly.
"Boom!" Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a violent sound suddenly sounded in the passage, and then billowing black smoke came out.
"No! Someone is coming!" Boss Tang was in a state of panic, and he was even more panicked when he saw the mechanism being triggered. "Sir Wen! I asked you to help, what are you still watching! Hurry up and deal with them!"
"Brother, don't worry! They are already dead in my eyes!" The incident happened suddenly. Wen Laosi didn't even bother to think about the two black figures and swooped down.
"Boom!" Another loud noise came, and the billowing black smoke instantly filled the roof of the secret room, and then a group of monster beasts coughed and ran out of the passage.
"Ahem...who the bastard set up so many traps!" The leader had a gray face, but his voice was familiar.
"Third Brother!" Boss Tang was suddenly overjoyed, "Third Brother! You came just in time! Help Fourth Brother bring the red-armored captain!"
But strangely, instead of helping, the group of monsters that came in stood behind Wu Fan and the red-armored captain.
"Ma Laosan! What are you doing standing still! Hurry up and take action!" Wen Laosi urged.
Ma Laosan ignored Wen Laosi, but looked at Mr. Tang with a burning gaze: "You! Why did you kill the second brother!"
Boss Tang's pupils shrank, he glanced at Wu Fan, and hurriedly explained: "Ma Laosan! Don't listen to this little bastard's nonsense, he is clearly wronging me!"
"Yes, Third Brother, this is a critical moment. You can't listen to other people's nonsense and get yourself into trouble!" Fourth Wen also advised.
"Nonsense? Ha! I saw this with my own eyes!" Ma Laosan said coldly.
"What...is going on? Could that boy be telling the truth?" A group of monsters surrounding Wu Fan also began to whisper.
"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Wen Laosi also looked puzzled, "Brother, what is going on? Is the death of my second brother really related to you?"
"Do you believe what Lao San said? He is not very smart to begin with... That's right! He must have just encountered a trap that shocked his brain!" Mr. Tang was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat. "Wen Laosi! Subdue Ma Lao San first, don't let him He is talking nonsense to shake the morale of the army!"
"Got it, brother!" Wen Laosi responded, and then rushed towards Ma Laosan.
"First it was the second brother, and now it's my turn?" Ma Laosan sneered, "If I hadn't pretended to be slow, I would have been ahead of the second brother!"
"Come here! Today! I will avenge my second brother!"
