That's why they say self-deception is the most terrifying thing; at this moment, Lian Shan was completely frightened by Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng, of course, had no idea that Lian Shan was wildly imagining things.

Seeing that the other party had agreed, he was delighted and immediately waved his hand, smiling as he said:

"It's very simple, not that complicated. Just continue your previous work and keep digging down from that hole."

Lian Shan kept trying to guess what the person opposite him was thinking, while continuing to ask, "So when do we stop digging?"

Wang Zheng smiled as Lian Shan probed from the opposite side.

"You'll know when to stop, but to boost your morale, I can give you a friendly reminder: those flying, bloodthirsty soldier ants aren't all dead. They could come back at any time, so..."

Wang Zheng stopped halfway through his sentence and didn't continue to scare him.

However, upon hearing this, Lian Shan had no doubt whatsoever. He immediately ran back, sweating profusely, and ordered his men to start digging into the large pit from before.

It must be said that there is strength in numbers. This group not only had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly, but also had a special ability to crush soil and rocks.

It seems their talk about targeting the bloodthirsty golden ants wasn't unfounded; they have indeed made thorough preparations.

He had held back a bit in front of Ma Zhong's team, but he never expected that this would lead to him being forced into hard labor by Wang Zheng.

Seeing the laborers digging the hole with great enthusiasm, Wang Zheng was very satisfied and full of self-appreciation for his decision, giving himself a mental thumbs up.

This is countless times faster than him digging the ground with a sledgehammer.

...

"Dig! Dig as fast as you can! Clear the soil! Quickly, get rid of the loose soil!"

The foreman, Lian Shan, led the digging while loudly directing his men to frantically shovel soil.

Although his subordinates had doubts, they dared not complain at all and worked enthusiastically without slacking off.

Clearly, they had complete faith in their boss's judgment. Even though they couldn't understand it themselves, they were sure they could do the right thing by following their boss!

Seeing the promising progress, Wang Zheng, who had dug a large pit in no time, stopped supervising the work and began to take stock of his harvest under a large tree.

Unfortunately, of the bloodthirsty male ants that were previously devoured underground, apart from two that were not completely consumed, the other male ants not only lost their "ant treasure" glands, but the spiritual energy crystals in their heads also shattered after the spiritual energy was devoured.

No one knows what kind of evil magic the queen ant used. Although her head was intact, the area where spiritual energy crystals should have been inside was now shattered into a ring of white crystalline powder.

The remaining two male ants were well preserved, so the spiritual energy crystals and "ant treasure" glands were still present.

In addition to a complete male ant that had undergone secondary mutation, and a total of twenty-four queen honeydews, overall, this ant colony expedition was well worth it.

However, the five explorers from Baoshan whom he killed were extremely poor.

Aside from finding two low-grade spiritual energy crystals on Ma Zhong, the leader, which Wang Zheng pocketed, the rest were just inferior potions and tools for hunting exotic beasts in the wilderness, which our young master Wang completely disdained.

Wang Zheng had originally planned to take another look at the crystal of the Crimson Armor Beast, but considering its enormous size, which was difficult to conceal, he had to give up for the time being.

In a very good mood, Wang Zheng looked at his gains in the storage space while thinking about his next goals and action plan.

There were no other accurate locations of the alien beast tribes on the map, which put Wang Zheng in a difficult position.

Does this mean I'll have to rely on luck in this desolate wilderness from now on?

Wang Zheng, who was quite annoyed, suddenly saw the digging team working hard and his eyes lit up. He had an idea.

Just then, the Lian Shan group, who had been digging for several hours, finally exclaimed in surprise.

"What is this white jade-like thing? It's also very smooth."

"We also have jade mines in Tengchong, don't we?"

"Dian Dong, you damn jade mine, retreat immediately!"

The knowledgeable Lian Shan immediately recognized that what was in front of him was clearly the shell of a strange beast. He quickly ordered his brothers to retreat and then ran over to Wang Zheng.

"We've dug up what you wanted. Would you like to go take a look?"

Upon hearing this good news, Wang Zheng was overjoyed and quickly went forward to check.

As everyone loosened the soil around the queen ant, Wang Zheng jumped into the ten-meter-wide pit. Looking up, he was surprised to find himself buried so deep.

After seeing this, half of his body was crushed by huge rocks and soil, and even part of his stomach was crushed.

Wang Zheng casually lifted the boulder that was pressing down on her, threw it forcefully, and sent it flying out of the huge pit.

Lian Shan and his gang of underlings were initially watching curiously from all sides when they saw Wang Zheng casually lift the boulder, which looked several times larger than a queen ant, out of the soil and then throw it dozens of meters away.

With a loud "boom," he felt the tremor beneath his feet, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his face. Looking at the shocked faces of his underlings, Lian Shan made a silent decision.

'Whether he's human or beast, you can only befriend him; never offend him!'
