As Wang Zheng was carefully searching for the last few spoils of war in the giant crater that had been blasted by the Crimson Armored Beast and then smashed by himself.
The two adventurer teams that set off from Tengchong City are slowly making their way this way.
Although Wang Zheng had been fighting fiercely, it was still a bit lacking compared to the endless mountain range.
In addition, Fengchui Slope is located at a low altitude, at the bottom of a valley in the hills. Their opponents are not strong, and they have to be careful of strange beasts running out of the dense forest while advancing. So at this time, they are still far away from Wang Zheng.
Not everyone can freely roam through these boundless mountains.
Even if they had superpowers that allowed them to fly, they still wouldn't dare to act so recklessly.
If you're not strong enough, you'll just be a sitting duck for flying monsters when you're in the air.
Only a strong person like Wang Zheng, who is confident enough in himself, can roam freely in the blue sky of the wilderness.
At this moment, after digging three feet into the ground, Wang Zheng finally unearthed the gruesome corpse of the strange beast he was looking for.
However, the facts before him were somewhat difficult for Wang Zheng to accept.
The crimson-armored beast that was hit had its entire carapace shattered, possibly breaking into hundreds of pieces of varying sizes.
During Wang Zheng's search, most of them were found and were piled up like garbage.
As for the skeleton and flesh, they had been smashed apart by the powerful impact, scattered in pieces. If it weren't for the obvious reddish-gold blood characteristics, Wang Zheng wouldn't have recognized this former fifth-grade beast.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy crystal was still there, and because the fluctuations were so strong, it was even the first one to be found.
Looking at the bloodthirsty male ant again, apart from a pool of green slime and a few sparse ant legs, that's it; nothing else exists.
It was something that was smashed to pieces in mid-air.
Now, let alone "ant glands," even "jelly glands" are gone.
He missed this chance to make a fortune, which made the miserly Wang Zheng want to slap himself a few times.
Fortunately, although the other male ant's corpse was missing its head and half of its body, it was still relatively intact.
Moreover, the "fertility glands" of bloodthirsty golden ants usually only grow on their most vulnerable abdomen, but this male ant's abdomen is quite intact, so it shouldn't be enough to leave Wang Zheng empty-handed.
Wang Zheng sighed softly and silently made up his mind.
"I can't go too far in the future. Old Man Chu was right. I've destroyed so many precious materials. I must learn from this! I must never get carried away in a fight!"
After collecting the bones and carapace fragments of the bloodthirsty male ants and the red-armored beasts from the ground, Wang Zheng stared blankly at the dark hole in front of him.
After waiting for a long time without any bloodthirsty golden ants reappearing, Wang Zheng's mindset changed slightly.
Undeterred, he grabbed pieces of rotten flesh from the ground and kept throwing them into the underground cave. But even after he had used up all the surrounding flesh and blood, he still hadn't seen a single bloodthirsty ant.
Wang Zheng, whose plan had failed, was immediately enraged.
"You're not coming, huh? Are you trying to escape? Planning to move?"
"No way! If you don't come to me, I'll come to you! I don't believe that once I control your queen ant, you won't come after me to fight me to the death!"
With this thought in mind, Wang Zheng looked at the tall and spacious cave entrance in front of him and jumped straight in.
The dark passage wasn't as foul-smelling as Wang Zheng had imagined. The walls were very dry, smooth, and flat, without any unpleasant odors.
Wang Zheng secretly analyzed that even the largest male bloodthirsty gold ants are only about one meter tall, so a tunnel of this size must be the route the queen ant usually takes.
Otherwise, given the size of these ants, such a scale would be completely unnecessary.
The collapse of the ant nest wasn't entirely without its advantages; one of them was the exposed passageway, which saved them the trouble of digging a new tunnel.
If we just keep following this path, we'll definitely catch up with the queen ant.
Sure enough, after Wang Zheng moved forward a short distance, a rustling sound began to come from the mud walls around the tunnel.
Then more and more worker ants crawled out along the walls around the tunnel.
However, these guys are not beasts at all, and killing them will not yield any spiritual energy.
Wang Zheng had no interest in these little creatures whatsoever. At this moment, all he wanted to do was quickly capture the queen ant, then bring her out of the ground to attract the bloodthirsty soldier ants to attack him.
As for whether there might be flying soldier ants appearing underground...
Wang Zheng didn't believe it at all; it was possible for a few male ants to come.
Despite feeling the increasing number of worker ants clinging to his body, Wang Zheng remained unmoved.
The worker ants' weak formic acid had a negligible impact on Wang Zheng's spiritual energy consumption. He was already quick to recover his spiritual energy, and with ample supplies of potions and spiritual energy crystals, Wang Zheng had no intention of getting entangled with these worker ants any further.
He simply relied on his brute strength, carrying the burdens he carried, and kept moving forward.
