Chapter 572: Magma Ants

God Stone Island.

Ning Daoran floated up and landed on the island first. He raised his hand and flicked it gently, and some miasma on the island was dissipated by the wind.

"Senior Ning."

Master Luo followed on a flying sword and said in a deep voice, "Be careful!"

"No problem."

Ning Daoran released his Nascent Soul consciousness to check everything around him.

Behind them, Longque Sanren protected Ning Mingyu and boarded the island, Liu Buyu and Yunshan Wujue followed closely behind. Zhou Yunlong, as a guide, was the last one to walk, and was extremely cautious.

As they passed through the dense forest, the woodland ahead disappeared, replaced by a fiery red lava zone.

"Um?"

Longque Sanren frowned: "Not good..."

There was a rumbling sound coming from deep in the earth, and a terrifying heat was spreading in all directions.

"careful!"

Longque Sanren hurriedly raised his hand and set up a ban to protect everyone.

Ning Daoran jumped into the air and found that the sea water around the island was bubbling and making gurgling sounds. In a blink of an eye, the surrounding sea water was boiling!

"What's going on?"

Ning Mingyu summoned the Broken Jade Sword and looked around with her beautiful eyes.

"It seems that we are not welcome here."

Ning Daoran smiled faintly: "The owner of Shenshi Island boiled the sea water in the nearby sea area. This is to keep us as guests on Shenshi Island forever... It's really interesting."

Zhou Yunlong said: "Senior, shall we return to the Sea Dragon Immortal Boat?"

"Do you think you can go back now?"

Longque Sanren's eyes turned cold, and he said, "The forbidden power deep in the Divine Stone Island has been triggered. We can't leave even if we want to. We can only fight back and see who is lucky enough to return alive."

For a moment, Master Luo, Liu Buyu and others all got goose bumps.

At this moment, Ning Daoran's Nascent Soul consciousness moved slightly, and he immediately looked down and said calmly: "Be careful, something is coming towards us!"

"What?!"

Liu was surprised.

But soon, he caught some dense auras approaching rapidly from deep underground.

Not far away, a fiery red magma area several dozen meters away suddenly "gurgled" and bubbles appeared. Then, bodies as big as millstones rushed out of the magma. These creatures had long antennae and six thin legs, and their bodies were covered with fiery red rock armor. They were actually giant ants living in the magma! "Be careful!"

Longque Sanren was well-informed and said with a stern look, "It's the magma ants! They are a kind of strange insects with the aura of fire! These magma ants have become powerful and have cultivated demonic energy. They are extremely evil!"

“Squeak~~~”

Not far away, dozens of lava ants were shaking their heads and tails, and the two antennae on their foreheads were trembling wildly to explore the surrounding situation. They quickly turned around one by one and stared straight at the group of monks who had landed on the island.

"Oh no, they're targeting us!" Zhou Yunlong's body trembled.

"snort!"

Ning Daoran smiled faintly, raised his hand and flicked it, and suddenly a series of formation flags and formation plates flew out in all directions, instantly setting up an extremely compact third-level top-grade Three-Flower Blue Luan Formation.

“Squeak~~~”

More and more lava ants crawled out of the lava, and the ones behind almost jumped straight out. They squeaked and then turned into fiery red spinning tops, running at full speed and crashing into the Three Flower Blue Luan Formation! "Bang bang bang!"

The loud noises continued. After being repelled by the outer wall of the formation, the molten ants began to tremble all over. Their limbs and antennae shook wildly before they rushed forward again, as if they would not stop until their bodies were smashed to pieces.

Ning Daoran frowned. It seemed that this Three-Flower Blue Luan Formation could not withstand the attack, and cracks kept appearing on the outer edge.

"What a ferocious monster!"

Longque Sanren said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Ning, it seems that your formation can no longer withstand the attack."

"It doesn't matter. Ning still has many formations."

Ning Daoran patted his storage bag again, and immediately new formation flags and formation plates flew out. The next second, a pocket-sized formation rose up. It was a fourth-order, middle-grade, nine-turn Ruyi formation! "Senior Ning is so amazing..."

Luo Zhenren was terrified: "If I am not mistaken, this formation is a fourth-level medium-grade formation, right?"

"Indeed."

Ning Daoran nodded, appearing calm and composed.

The Nine-Turn Ruyi Formation was so powerful that it was impossible for those molten lava ants to break through it in a short time.

After a while, someone couldn't help it anymore.

"Two seniors, do we really need to be so afraid of these lava ants?"

Liu Buyu held the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "These lava ants are just a group of fools in the early stage of Jindan. With our combat power, we can walk out of the formation and kill them all!"

"Friend Liu."

Ning Mingyu said, "Don't underestimate the enemy. Since my brother said that we need to observe for a while, why are you so anxious?"

Her words ignited the depression that Liu Buyu had been suppressing in his heart.

"It doesn't matter."

He took a step forward and said, "Liu would like to meet them!"

As he spoke, Liu Buyu injected a strand of magic power into the storage bag. The next moment, figures flew out of the storage bag, and turned into six figures that appeared in front of him. They were all sword cultivators wearing black clothes and carrying long swords.

'puppet?'

Ning Daoran saw this and couldn't help but be slightly amazed. Liu Buyu's background was quite profound. These puppets were all of mid-level third grade quality, with mid-level Golden Core cultivation. It also seemed that Liu Buyu must have done some "training" on these.

"Form a formation and go to battle!"

Liu Buyu spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, Master!"

The six puppets clasped their fists together, then raised their hands and drew their swords, and rushed out of the Nine-Turn Ruyi Formation together with Liu Buyu! "Shua~~~"

In an instant, seven bright sword intentions shot up into the sky and condensed into a force. With Liu Buyu's order, they rushed towards a group of magma ants in front.

Inside the formation, all the Golden Cores were amazed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

“I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Liu has such abilities…” the leader of the Five Wonders of Yunshan murmured.

Master Luo frowned, "I've heard rumors that Liu Buyu is a man who practices both sword and puppetry, but I never thought he could actually make puppets form sword formations. It seems that the legendary Seven Star Moonlight Sword Formation is real, and not a figment of the imagination."

Zhou Yunlong looked solemn: "But even so, we shouldn't act so rashly..."

"elder brother……"

Ning Mingyu transmitted the message: "What should we do? This Liu Buyu..."

"You seek death yourself, no one else is to blame."

Ning Daoran said calmly, "He thought these magma ants were at the early stage of the Golden Core. In fact, the outer shells of magma ants are covered with hot rock layers, and they are good at restraining their aura. The true cultivation level of these magma ants is not the early stage of the Golden Core, but the late stage of the Golden Core."

"What!?"

Ning Mingyu was horrified. She also couldn't see through the true cultivation level of the Lava Ant and thought it was only in the early stage of Golden Core.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~”

At this moment, the leading magma ants suddenly let out a violent scream, and then a group of magma ants stopped attacking the Nine-Turn Ruyi Formation and turned around to rush towards the Seven-Star Moonlight Sword Formation that Liu Buyu and the six puppets had sacrificed! Amid the screams, a group of magma ants rushed and crashed into the sword formation. At the same time, there was a continuous "bang bang bang" sound of explosions. The thick magma layer on their bodies exploded one after another, turning into strands of extremely chaotic spiritual pressure that impacted the sword formation. At one time, dozens of magma ants attacked together with spiritual pressure, and the sword formation immediately became a mess. Several puppets in the middle stage of the Golden Core had their swordsmanship in a mess and could no longer hold on.

"not good!"

Liu Buyu was horrified and quickly summoned his own flying sword, shouting, "Qinglei Sword, help me..."

Before he could finish his words, his body was already submerged by a group of magma ants.

Flames rose and screams echoed in the wind.

After just a few breaths, Liu Buyu's screams stopped, and after the group of magma ants dispersed, only a skeleton that had been eaten clean was left on the ground. As for the puppets in the middle stage of the Golden Core, after losing the control of their master's soul, they had already fallen down and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

…

"this……"

Master Luo was terrified.

"snort!"

Longque Sanren sneered and said, "This is the consequence of not listening to advice. Even fellow Daoist Ning and I stayed in the formation dutifully. Who do you think you are, Liu Buyu? How dare you, a mere late Jindan, act recklessly in such a dangerous place as Shenshi Island?"

"this……"

Zhou Yunlong panicked and said, "Senior Ning, what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid."

Ning Daoran gently lifted his sleeves, and suddenly he saw icy spirit energy swirling around a long sword in his sleeves. It was the Autumn Water Sword. Since the beginning of the formation, he had been madly pouring magic power into the Autumn Water Sword to accumulate icy spirit energy, and now it was finally almost full.

Liu Buyu was still too impatient and too confident.

"Everyone."

Ning Daoran said in a deep voice: "These magma ants are of the fire element, and their combat power is extremely strong in a hot environment, so I will soon use the ice spirit to cool them down. Once the ice spirit takes effect, I will put away the formation, and we will fight together. We will kill as many as we can. The magma ants frozen by the ice spirit are still late Jindan monsters, and their combat merits on the monster killing list will not be discounted. It depends on you how many opportunities you can get."

"ah?"

For a moment, Master Luo, the Five Great Masters of Yunshan and others were first stunned, and then ecstatic.

This is equivalent to Ning Daoran using his own supernatural powers to win a chance for everyone to seize the opportunity. This kind of opportunity is not something that ordinary people can come across.

"Mingyu."

Ning Daoran sent a message to Ning Mingyu: "In a moment, you can use the Broken Jade Sword to chop off the heads of the magma ants. Kill them one by one. It doesn't matter if you consume a little more mana."

"good!"

The next moment, Ning Daoran took action.

“Swish!”

The Qiushui Sword turned into an ice-blue ray that shot up into the sky, and then bloomed outside the formation. Suddenly, countless icy spirits rushed in all directions, almost immediately cooling the molten layer of the outer shells of many magma ants, and then turned the magma ants into a millstone-sized ice lump! "Kill them!"

Ning Daoran suddenly retracted the two large formations, and immediately everyone turned into flashes of light and flew out.

Not to mention Ning Mingyu, Luo Zhenren and others, even Longque Sanren waved his sleeves and flew out, pushing his magic power horizontally, slapping one by one, and killing many frozen magma ants in the blink of an eye! "Squeak~~~"

In the ice sculpture ravaged by the icy spirit, a fiery red aura continued to surge from the body of the lava ant, and its antennae swayed violently and slightly, about to break free from the sudden frost confinement on the surface of the body! (End of this chapter)
