Chapter 46: The Resurrection of Light "You're going to fight without me?"...

A small skeleton bird was sitting on a tree branch, carefully cleaning the seams of its bones. Chen Shuang held two letters in her hands, each signed with a different noble lacquer seal.

She folded the opened envelope back into place and looked up at the anxious blond young master.

The arrogant young master who once rode on a tall and majestic horse forced out a flattering smile, leaned over and walked over in small steps: "Sir, is there anything you want me to do?"

He glanced around quietly, but didn't see the elf with the sinister smile, so he straightened his bent back quietly.

Fortunately, I didn’t meet that perverted elf.

"Your father made a deal with me, exchanging resources for your life." Chen Shuang put away the souvenir she had recently received, a faint smile on her face. "I'm ready to let you go."

The blond young master in front of him suddenly burst into great hope and stammered, "Really?!"

Shen Shuang smiled: "Really."

*

When the blond young master walked out of the Lost Land empty-handed, he was still a little confused. He shielded the glaring sunlight with the back of his hand and his pace gradually quickened.

He ran with all his might, as if this was the only way to escape the terrifying darkness behind him.

"My little beauty, I'm back again!"

Although I don’t know what this group of people are planning, they will definitely regret making this decision.

He, Wright Colin, will make these arrogant dark creatures pay a heavy price.

His lungs strained for air. After running at full speed for a while, the blond young master's speed slowly slowed down. He then uttered a long-suppressed hatred, "I will make you pay. I will."

"What's the price?"

First, a questioning voice came from behind, and then it was followed by a huge force. The unfamiliar force kicked the blond young master directly to the ground, and his face fell into the mud.

He gasped angrily: "Who is it?"

The contemptuous female voice slowly approached and sneered, "You should be thankful that you are still somewhat useful, disgusting creature, otherwise you would have been hanged long ago."

Hurley, who came on horseback, jumped off the tall horse, looked at the embarrassed son of her political enemy in front of her, raised her foot and stepped directly on his head, crushing it hard.

The blond young master was covered in mud and cursed, "Little crazy!"

"Thank you for the compliment," Hu Li said, "Okay, scumbag, it's time to go home. I don't want to say another word to you."

She quickly took out the magically reinforced rope and tied up the blond young master. She narrowed her eyes and said, "But I'm not going back to your den of thieves."

"The Karl family has already vacated a cell for you."

The wanton girl jumped onto her horse, proud as a white swan. She showed her sharp little fangs and said casually, "Let's go, you little loser."

The tall horse started running at full speed, pulling the captured blond young master forward. As Hu Li heard the angry curses in her ears gradually turn into pleas for mercy, she felt much better.

Her eyes were sharp as a torch. "Just wait, you bastards. I will personally rip your skin off."

*

The Carl family brought professional craftsmen with them when they came to visit. This group of experienced masters were quite good at geological surveys. Except for being a little scared by the various dark creatures at the beginning, after they got used to it, they could even sit down and drink and chat with the dwarves.

In accordance with Hurley's wishes, the blond young master was released, but he probably couldn't return to Colin's house for a while.

How come going to Carl's house doesn't count as leaving the temple?

Chen Shuang thought.

But she doesn't need to worry about these for the time being, she has more important things to do.

Chen Shuang walked among the undulating red sandstones, and red peaks appeared before her eyes. They had different shapes and were as lifelike as sculptures.

It looks similar to the Danxia landform, but its texture is much harder. If you knock on the rock wall casually, you can hear a metal-like echo.

The giant demon ant followed her, its reddish antennae swaying slightly, and it looked very happy.

The mental network also synchronously conveys its excitement.

[This is home, it’s beautiful]

"Mm, it's a very beautiful view."

The transition from black soil to such a magical layered sedimentary rock is like a frozen red wave. If the red of Dragon Valley is a blazing flame, the red here is the vast sunset.

Even the wind that blows carries the rings of time.

"Are we almost there?" Chen Shuang asked.

After expanding the link once in the early stage, she never increased the number of magic ants in the later period. Now it is time to expand the number of legions.

“Hiss.”

A strange demon ant was peeking out from behind the rock, seemingly curious about what the creature in front of it was doing.

Suddenly, it saw a huge fellow of its kind following behind the human, and its moth-like tentacles instantly stood up like antennas.

Big, strong, handsome ant.

You can tell at first glance that she is very capable of giving birth to a baby.

Its antennae touched each other a few times, its forelimbs scratched the hard rock a few times, and it raised its compound eyes from time to time to look over here. The whole ant was filled with an atmosphere of tension and shyness.

"Is it one of your people?"

The little red antennae in front of him also rose up, and he tilted his head to identify it for a moment.

[We are from the same clan, um, my sister]

As if at a loss for words to describe their relationship, Xiao Hong added, "Hiss."

[Growing up together, the elder sister of the Bie Yi family]

Chen Shuang nodded: "I understand, childhood sweethearts."

Red nodded, then scrambled up the rock wall, came up to her shy sister Ant, and greeted her happily, "Hiss!"

The anticipated reunion scene did not happen. The strange demon ant in front of him suddenly froze in place after hearing Xiaohong's greeting, and then turned around suddenly: "Hiss?"

Red repeated, "Hiss!"

The female ant, who was still emitting pink bubbles, suddenly wilted as if she had been punched, raised her forelimbs and waved at Xiaohong's head.

The female ant looked at the tall and handsome male ant with red antennae with complicated eyes, and suddenly her mind flashed with the image of the other ant lying in a mud puddle and playing with mud when he was a child.

She looked at the approaching human with a sad look, her eyes seemed to be filled with seven parts sadness and three parts regret.

Why did you raise this little brat to be so handsome?

The female ant, whose hands and feet were bound by morality, moved her legs and stretched out her forelimbs to push Xiaohong away.

No, I can't overcome the barrier in my heart.

After being rejected, Xiaohong tilted her head, then stuck to the female ant even more enthusiastically, causing her to dodge back and forth.

Chen Shuang, who inexplicably understood all the psychological activities of the female ant, coughed and said, "Give it a try, maybe it will work."

Xiaohong looked up in confusion: "Hiss?"

Chen Shuang touched its head and said, "Don't listen, little kid. I'm chatting with an adult."

Xiao Hong was dissatisfied: "Hiss!"

[The priest is an adult, my sister is an adult, and I am also an adult.]

The delicate female ant had escaped from the encirclement of her enthusiastic and silly brother and successfully came to Chen Shuang's side. She breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and then stayed quietly at her feet.

Chen Shuang reached out and stroked the docile female ant. When the ant felt the warmth, it rubbed back and made a friendly slight hissing sound.

"Please relax," she said.

【You are using "Witch's Secret"】

[Spiritual power determination successful, you have successfully established a link with [Dark Dependent Demon Ant]]

The gentle dark aura instantly captivated the demon ant, making it somewhat intoxicated by human touch.

[Comfortable, touch again]

[OK]

The moment the answer sounded, the female ant jumped up immediately, even forgetting her silly brother who had changed a lot after growing up, and her eyes were all on this mysterious human.

Chen Shuang smiled and said, "There is a job that requires your help. As for the reward, I believe you have seen it with your own eyes."

The female ant looked at her handsome and silly brother, and countless equally handsome fellow ant species in the future instantly appeared in her mind, and the loss she had just felt was swept away.

It paced back and forth excitedly, calling for others to join it in the spiritual network.

Please follow me, distinguished guest.

Chen Shuang followed the female ant to the magic ant's habitat. As soon as she came in, she was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic magic ants like big dogs. They greeted her noisily, brought over colorful soil, and waited for the guests to eat with bright eyes.

Chen Shuang: "...Thank you, I've already eaten."

Is asking people to eat dirt a traditional custom of the Demon Ants?

Xiaohong was also surrounded.

It raised its head proudly, showing its beautiful shell and strong limbs to its fellow ants. The magic ants surrounding it burst into exclamations from time to time.

The two middle-aged ants in the front patted Xiaohong's head with satisfaction, as if they were looking at their promising son who had returned home in glory.

With the introduction of the female ant and Xiaohong, Chen Shuang successfully gained a preliminary understanding with the magic ant colony.

"This is the thing. I need you to help me collect a large amount of ore," Chen Shuang said, "I will provide physical enhancement, habitat, shelter, and food."

She looked at the gradually quieting demon ant colony and leaned forward slightly. "I, Chen Shuang, the God's agent in the Forsaken Land and the current priestess of the Dark Temple, look forward to your joining me."

The black-haired priest said, "Next, if you wish, please relax."

【You are using "Witch's Secret"】

[Spiritual power determination successful, you have successfully established a link with [Dark Dependent Demon Ant]]

…

[Spiritual power determination successful, you have successfully established a link with [Dark Dependent Demon Ant]]

[Congratulations, your current faction, the [Magic Ant Legion], has been upgraded. You now have a total of 3,631 Magic Ants under your command. Please properly manage your faction to avoid a drop in favorability.]

[Congratulations, your faction's stability value has increased by +500]

*

[Congratulations, Magic Crystal +1]

[Congratulations, Magic Crystal +3]

[Congratulations, Magic Crystal +2]

The notification sound of the increase of magic crystals came intermittently. The mining by magic ants, the transmission by feathers, and the system recording have become a complete industrial chain.

Chen Shuang listened to the prompt sound coming from her ears. As the accumulation increased, her confidence became more and more sufficient.

In addition to the magic crystal prompts, the system is still urging.

You have completed 3/4 of the [Lost Land] map. Please proceed to the next area as soon as possible.

Chen Shuang tidied up her cloak, checked all her equipment, and then the magic power in her body surrounded her. She cast a flying spell and flew to the east.

She quickly passed over the rolling land, and seemed to be able to see the vast eastern region through space.

Next is the ancient battlefield that has been stagnant for thousands of years.

——Tasmanian wilderness

Her smooth flying arc suddenly paused and her speed slowly slowed down.

The voices in her mind overlapped with the voices in reality, making her a little dazed.

The system made a "ding dong" sound.

[Currently, the [Ancient Battlefield] has seen the resurgence of the Source of Light. Please proceed to Annihilation as soon as possible.]

Along with the raised volume came a clear male voice. Chen Shuang lowered her head and looked down. The black-eyed elf from afar waved at her, and her long, curly gray hair flew back in the wind.

He looked at the human priest with his dark eyes and said lazily, "Master Priest, won't you take me with you?"
