The queen ant, who had just escaped her predicament, saw several humans pointing and whispering about her, and her temper, as the queen of bloodthirsty golden ants, flared up instantly.
After letting out a roar, just as her gun-barrel-like mouthparts were about to extend and unleash their fury, she saw Wang Zheng standing to the side, sneering at her.
Instantly, her arrogance as the queen of the ant tribe vanished completely.
Its once proud head was instantly buried back in the ground, and it immediately began to play dead and give up.
'With such a loud commotion, how come this human wasn't killed? Now, escape is hopeless.'
The onlookers were startled by the queen ant's ferocity, but when they saw that the young man in front of them only glanced at the queen ant and immediately dared not act rashly, they felt that Wang Zheng was even more unfathomable.
Lian Shan, seizing the opportunity, shamelessly approached.
"Now that you've subdued the queen ant, can we leave now? It's getting late, and if we don't hurry back, we'll have to spend the night in the wilderness."
Wang Zheng didn't want them to stay any longer, since he was still waiting to farm soldier ants.
So he said to Lianshan:
"You must be a famous adventurer in Tengchong. I've heard of you from the association. If you want to leave, just give me a copy of the map you marked. It'll be paid."
Wang Zheng had never even heard of it. He had never been to the Adventurers' Association in Tengchong City. He was just trying to scare Lian Shan with what he said.
However, if you really need to find him then, it won't be too difficult.
Upon hearing this, Lian Shan understood Wang Zheng's threat, and his expression immediately turned even more bitter.
This map is part of a long-term mission issued by both the Adventurers' Guild and the military, aimed at gaining a clear understanding of the specific conditions in the wild.
Of course, they also conduct their own explorations, but the more people participate in the field exploration, the more detailed the map becomes, and the larger the exploration area becomes.
The maps marked by each explorer team are their most precious labor of love, and their guarantee for making a living as adventurers.
Because everything, including the habitats of mythical beasts, the growing places of spiritual plants, and the shelters in the wild, will be recorded on its map.
They don't even disclose a lot of crucial information to the Adventurers' Guild, since the more people who know, the less benefit they gain.
How many rewards can you get for selling information?
There are far more benefits to hunting than to waiting until you have the strength to hunt.
Therefore, Wang Zheng's request at this moment was undoubtedly to dig up the roots of their adventure team that had been built up over so many years.
Seeing the troubled look on Lian Shan's face, Wang Zheng just smiled and continued.
"I don't need a complete map, just give me the marked information about your beast colonies. I've already made a concession, if you still disagree, then I'm sorry to say..."
"I agree, I agree!"
Before Wang Zheng could finish speaking, Lian Shan immediately took out his locator.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Consider it an investment. Since he intends to befriend people, what are a few packs of strange beasts? Can he really wipe them all out by himself?
Besides, their team's lives are still in the hands of this guy. This kind of super-powerful person who can solo a Bloodthirsty Golden Ant tribe and capture the queen alive is someone they can't afford to offend.
"I've been navigating the world for many years, and my strength lies in caution and prudence."
After taking Wang Zheng's locator and operating it for a while, Wang Zheng saw several red dots added to his locator, along with relevant information and notes. He nodded in satisfaction, thinking that Lian Shan was very sensible.
Wang Zheng glanced at the corpses of the five people in the distance.
"The bloodthirsty soldier ants may be arriving soon. If you want to leave, you'd better leave quickly. Consider this your reward, and you can also dispose of those corpses."
After saying that, Wang Zheng tossed them a "Queen's Honey Dew" as a reward. Anyway, this thing wasn't that valuable, so Wang Zheng wasn't too bothered by it.
Although he knew that the other party's target was the "ant treasure" gland of the bloodthirsty male ant, this stuff was much more valuable than ant dew and was also less common, so Wang Zheng was reluctant to give it away.
Besides, the fact that they managed to save their lives already shows that Lian Shan was clever enough to know how to make choices. Even if I didn't give them anything, they couldn't say anything.
Things can't always go so smoothly and as one wishes. Wang Zheng himself wanted unlimited spiritual energy, but who would grant his wish?
Lian Shan, who had been keeping a smiling face the whole time, never expected to have such an unexpected gain.
Although the ant dew wasn't particularly valuable, looking at the timid queen ant beside him, who had even lost her egg sac, he knew perfectly well that what the young man had casually tossed over was the highest quality "Queen's Honeydew."
Although the mission was not completed, most of the prepared items were not used. Now, with the addition of a "Queen's Honey Dew," even if it wasn't an overnight fortune, it was still a small surplus.
Apart from the five temporary teammates who died tragically because of their own greed, Lianshan suffered no losses.
However, who cares about these scheming explorers in Baoshan City? As long as their own team suffers zero casualties, that's enough.
Moreover, this true god in front of me doesn't even care about other people's belongings and wants me to handle them, so the other party's supplies will be another source of income, which is great.
So Lian Shan quickly thanked Wang Zheng, and also left a few polite words saying that if he needed help in the future, he could always find them in Tengchong City. Then he led his men and retreated without the slightest hesitation.
Wang Zheng squinted as he watched the group of people walk away, and couldn't help but sigh.
"He's a smart guy; no wonder he's doing so well on the front lines."
