Lin Fan secretly screamed, so many giant ants could drown him with just a drop of saliva.
"Nine-Star Sword Shadow: Broken Sword!"
Lin Fan swung his knife towards the rock-solid wall of the ant nest.
The sword was so powerful that it created a crack in the anthill.
"Bye bye!"
Lin Fan used Dragon Soar to speed up and rush towards the crack. If he fought hard, he would definitely not be able to defeat so many giant ants, and the ant king of this ant nest has not yet appeared.
Lin Fan used Dragon Soaring and quickly dodged to the crack.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended on the world, and the entire void shook slightly.
"This is!"
Lin Fan exclaimed, the thing releasing this coercion must have the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, maybe even higher.
"Human boy! Trespassing on our territory! And stealing our ant-gathering honey! Damn it!"
Lin Fan's mood hit rock bottom. This powerful aura and pressure had already overwhelmed him, let alone escaping.
But Lin Fan didn't want to give up yet, after all, there was still a glimmer of hope!
"Nine-turn hegemonic body!"
Lin Fan frantically activated the energy and blood in his body, and a circle of black mist suddenly appeared around him, making Lin Fan's momentum surge.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt that his breathing became easier, and his whole body seemed to have endless energy.
But before Lin Fan could be happy for a few seconds, a cyan light blade struck towards him.
When Lin Fan was locked by this cyan light blade, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was chilled.
"Nine-Star Sword Shadow: Broken Sword!"
Lin Fan didn't have time to think too much and swung his sword towards the cyan light blade.
Lin Fan originally thought that his sword shadow could hold on for a while, so he took advantage of this free time to escape.
To Lin Fan's surprise, the sword shadow was disintegrated the moment it came into contact with the cyan light blade, not even for a second.
At this moment, Lin Fan gave up. With such intensity of attack, even using the sword fetus would be of no avail.
"Are you going to die?"
Seeing the cyan light blade getting closer and closer, Lin Fan could only sigh helplessly. The gap was too big and he could not reverse it with external force.
Just when Lin Fan closed his eyes and waited for death, a generous laughter sounded.
"Hahahaha, I finally found this ant nest!"
Then, a white light flashed, and the cyan light blade turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the sky and earth.
"May I ask which powerful person came to our ant tribe?"
"Hahaha, I don't dare to be a powerful person. I just want to borrow some of your ant tribe's honey."
"Okay! As long as the great leader doesn't interfere in this matter, our ant clan will definitely meet the great leader's request."
The person who spoke appeared. He was a middle-aged man, wearing a black robe, with a beard on his chin. His eyes were bright and he looked particularly confident against his dark skin.
"I can't satisfy this request. This person is also a member of our human race after all. I, Li Wencheng, can't do anything like refusing to save him!"
While speaking, Wang Wencheng sacrificed his natal sword, and every word showed his dominance.
The Ant King hesitated, then sighed slowly.
"That's all, just think that our ant clan has suffered a loss. Here is the ant honey you want. It should be enough!"
The sound came from the void again, and immediately two pieces of ant honey the size of a washbasin appeared in the air.
"Thank you!"
Wang Wencheng cupped his fists and saluted, then left with Lin Fan.
The Ant King in the ant nest looked at the two people's retreating figures, with murderous intent in his eyes that had transformed into humans.
"If I hadn't been at the critical moment of transformation, you would all have died here!"
If anyone were here, they would definitely be shocked by this scene.
Today's Ant King has a human-like upper body, while his lower body is still in the shape of an ant.
On the way, Lin Fan thanked Wang Wencheng with clasped fists.
But Wang Wencheng seemed to have something urgent, so he responded and left.
Lin Fan also had lingering fears. If Wang Wencheng hadn't killed him in time, he might have died at the hands of the Ant King.
After escaping from death, Lin Fan saved his life, but this time the profit was indeed very considerable. It can be said that he became rich overnight.
Lin Fan estimated that the Ant Gathering Honey he had just collected would be enough for him to break through to the sixth level of the Golden Core, and maybe even higher!
Lin Fan just wanted to find a place to quickly refine the ant-gathering honey. The city lord of Nanling City should have got the news. He had also experienced the terror of the strong men in the Nascent Soul stage, so he didn't even have the desire to fight.
Lin Fan thought of a perfect place, the lake with the giant dragon.
Without further ado, Lin Fan used Soaring Dragon to quickly head to the lake.
...........
Wang Wencheng rushed back to the main force.
"Elder Wang, all forces have entered the Nanling Deep Forest. Isn't it time for us to enter too?"
Wang Wencheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go in and have a look, but we have to be careful."
"When I first entered Zhongwei, I encountered an ant nest. If the ant king hadn't been transforming into a human form, I wouldn't have escaped so easily."
"Anthill!"
The young man who spoke was shocked. He knew the danger of this ant nest, and for a moment he was a little timid.
Most of the spirit beasts active in the deep forest of Nanling are yellow-level low-grade or above, which is equivalent to the strong ones in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
And in the depths are active more powerful spiritual beasts, each of which is enough to move mountains and seas.
............
"City Lord, I just heard the news that a powerful relic is about to be revealed deep in the Southern Forest, and all forces are mobilized!"
Cao Fei's eyes narrowed, with a look of greed in his eyes.
He has been hovering at the peak of Nascent Soul for decades. It's not that he doesn't practice hard enough, but that his talent has reached its peak.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to find a relic back then, he might not even be able to break through to the Golden Core stage in his life.
Therefore, he is also well aware of the gold content of this relic. If he is lucky and gets this inheritance again, it will be just around the corner to break through to the realm of fugue.
"Hahaha, God help me! Assemble the manpower and follow me to the depths of the Nanling Forest!"
............
Lin Fan, who was at the bottom of the lake, didn't know that there was an undercurrent surging outside. At this time, he was still trying desperately to absorb the ant-gathering honey.
At first, when the giant dragon saw Lin Fan taking out the ant honey, the eyes of the two snakes shone brightly, and he knew it was a treasure.
Lin Fan was not a stingy person, so he left behind a piece of fist-sized ant honey and threw it towards the giant dragon.
In this way, one person and one snake worked hard to absorb at the bottom of the lake.
Thanks to the power of "Xuan Tian Jue", Lin Fan absorbed the ant honey as easily as drinking water, but this giant dragon was not so easy.
The giant dragon swallowed the ant-gathering honey in one gulp, and then a ball of yellow light lit up in his belly.
The giant dragon was in unbearable pain, rolling in the lake, and soon the lake became extremely turbid.
Lin Fan, who was sitting quietly, did not feel the changes in the lake at all. At this time, he had entered a state of selflessness.
"Ding."
"Main mission: Go to the center of Nanling Deep Forest to fight for the inheritance of the false emperor."
"Reward: The second sword of "Nine-Star Sword Shadow": Swinging Sword."
Lin Fan ignored the tasks issued by the system. At this time, he just wanted to improve his cultivation.
The next morning.
A roar broke the morning tranquility.
A giant dragon several hundred meters long rushed out of the water, and then a layer of peeling skin fell off his body.
Lin Fan followed closely behind, riding on the giant dragon's head.
"Sixth level of golden elixir!"
Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly, feeling the spiritual power flowing throughout his body and couldn't help but marvel.
After spending most of the ant-gathering honey, he successfully broke through to the sixth level of the golden elixir. Although Lin Fan was heartbroken, he was relieved immediately.
This is a consumable in itself, and the purpose of his coming to this deep forest of Nanling to practice is to prepare for the inner sect competition in half a year.
"Little Jiao, I'm going to go deep, do you want to accompany me?"
The giant dragon under Lin Fan's feet shook his head up and down a few times to express his meaning.
"Your body is too big, so just follow me from a distance."
After hearing this, the giant dragon began to shrink its body, and then jumped on Lin Fan's head.
"What a power!"
Lin Fan was stunned by the giant dragon's ability. It could also switch its size freely!
"Be good on my head. If you poop on my head, I will stew you!"
Lin Fan used Dragon Soar to quickly fly towards the center of the Deep Forest of the Southern Spirit. The second sword of "Nine Star Sword Shadow" was really tempting!
The first sword is called "Broken Sword" and can cut through everything in the world. So what is the ability of the second sword "Swinging Sword"?
Lin Fan kept thinking about this issue on the way.
"Fellow Taoist in front, please stay!"
Just as Lin Fan was leaping among the giant trees, a voice sounded.
Lin Fan turned around, wearing a white robe, and saw a young man with delicate features flying towards him.
"Is something wrong?"
Lin Fan's tone was indifferent. He didn't want to have too many interactions with others in the Southern Forest.
The more interactions there are, the greater the risk of exposure.
"I am an inner disciple of Lingshan Sect. I would like to ask this fellow Taoist how to get to the depths of Nanling Forest."
"Inner disciple of Lingshan Sect?"
Lin Fan was stunned. It seemed that the news about the pseudo-emperor's secret realm had been exposed, but it was better this way. He could hide himself as much as possible in the melee.
"I'm just a casual cultivator, but I really know how to walk this way!"
The young man looked at Lin Fan in surprise. How dare a casual cultivator enter the depths of the Southern Forest?
"If fellow Taoist don't mind, you are willing to go with our Lingshan Sect. You can lead the way for us, and our Lingshan Sect can help you eliminate the dangers on the road."
This time it was exactly what Lin Fan wanted.
"good!"
The young man led the way, and Lin Fan followed him to the resting place of Lingshan Sect.
"Great Elder, I have heard the news!"
When the great elder heard this, he immediately smiled, but when he saw Lin Fan behind the young man, his smile disappeared.
The young man hurriedly reported to the great elder: "This man is a casual cultivator I met on the road. He knows the way!"
The First Elder looked at Lin Fan with some vigilance and looked him over from head to toe, with a somewhat unpredictable look in Lin Fan's eyes.
"You said you are a casual cultivator, how can you expect me to believe you?"
Lin Fan secretly cursed this old fox. He had lived for so long and had a hundred evil thoughts.
"If you don't welcome me, I can leave!"
