Chapter 75: The First Battle of the Black Ants
Chen Huan and another cultivator were facing roughly the same situation. They were doing their best to resist the attack of the black-bellied hornets, and they used all their best means to kill as many of the hornets as possible.
It was just because they faced fewer hornets, so the pressure they faced was much less, and they seemed to be able to handle it with ease after sufficient preparation.
The power of these hornets themselves was certainly lethal, but under the orderly response of the four well-prepared and experienced 8th-level Qi Refining cultivators, everything was turning in a good direction.
Sun Mingsheng must have faced the greatest pressure among the four people. Fortunately, he had a first-grade fine iron shield, otherwise he would not have been able to end the situation today.
As the black-bellied hornets fell one by one, the small piece of land in front was densely packed with hideous hornet corpses.
Under Sun Mingsheng's hard work, the dense swarm of bees had been reduced by half, but under the counterattack of the black-bellied hornets, they also suffered some damage.
Although a large amount of venom was firmly blocked outside by the fine iron shield, a small part of it inevitably fell on his body.
Fortunately, the toxicity of these venoms themselves is not strong, and in the case of a small amount, it can't cause too much trouble.
Before the battle began, he was reluctant to take the first-grade Qingyuan detoxification elixir given by Chen Huan.
This relatively rare and unpopular elixir specially used to deal with bee venom is not too common in type and quantity. It is possible that it can save a life in a critical moment in the future.
In addition, there are also some black protrusions as big as fists on Sun Mingsheng's arms and legs.
In the center of each black lump, there is a clearly visible black tail needle, which is the attack from the black-bellied hornet.
Fortunately, Sun Mingsheng has attached great importance to the consolidation of his physical body and foundation since he embarked on the road of cultivation, and dared not be careless at all.
Therefore, at this time, under the dual erosion of the black-bellied hornet venom and the tail sting, he still looked at ease, and the damage caused was obviously within the acceptable range.
"Fire Pillar Essence Blood Talisman, Command" As time passed, Sun Mingsheng had also reached the limit of what he could bear.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he took out a blood essence talisman with a glowing red pattern. Even if he was reluctant, he had to end the battle in the shortest time.
On the one hand, the black-bellied hornets that went out to pick spiritual honey might return at any time, and on the other hand, if the delay was too long, Chen Huan and the other two might swallow some extra royal jelly.
Sun Mingsheng obviously did not allow this to happen. For him, the most important thing on this trip was always to get as much royal jelly as possible.
The power of the blood essence talisman is naturally unquestionable, and it is also the most suitable means to break the deadlock at present. Even though he felt a little distressed, Sun Mingsheng still did not hesitate at all.
The Blood Essence Talisman was sacrificed, and a scorching fire pillar that was obviously thicker and taller than a normal fire pillar and was full of blood red appeared in front of him.
"Go" Because of the infiltration of his own blood essence, Sun Mingsheng's control over the fire pillar was obviously stronger. He pointed his hands forward, and the fire pillar had already hit the remaining black-bellied hornets.
The fire pillar sacrificed by the Blood Essence Talisman was obviously not comparable to the normal fire pillar. It was emitting red flames and bursts of bloody smoke, directly burning the black-bellied hornets that were in direct contact into a mass of black.
The only flaw was the time when the Blood Essence Talisman fire pillar was sacrificed, which was restricted by the duration of the blood essence in it, so this kind of explosion was destined to be unsustainable.
Once the power of the blood essence was exhausted, this fire pillar talisman would naturally disappear.
In less than half a cup of tea, as the fire column burned wildly, the remaining black-bellied hornets also suffered heavy losses. The few remaining ones were swaying from side to side, and they kept dodging and just managed to escape.
"Black-striped ants, come out." The time spent here has been quite long. Sun Mingsheng opened the storage bag, and more than two hundred black-striped ants appeared in front of him with their wings flapping.
Under his full cultivation and sufficient blood supply during this period, these black-striped ants have basically been successfully promoted to the first-level lower grade.
After being promoted to the first-level lower grade, the black-striped ants will grow a pair of tender wings on their backs, which can fly for a short time.
Because these black-striped ants are only the weakest among the spirit insects, and they have not had enough advantage in numbers in the previous battles, Sun Mingsheng did not sacrifice them.
The purpose of cultivating spirit insects is naturally for fighting. Now that it has come to the end, it is naturally time for them to contribute, and it can also achieve the purpose of training spirit insects.
In a sense, spirit insects and cultivators are the same. They need to be tempered in battle before they can go further in the future.
In addition, the corpses of these black-bellied hornets are also a high-quality blood food for the black-striped ants, who are not picky eaters.
If they are used to feed the queen ants, there may be further progress in the future. These blood foods are the best spiritual objects for spiritual beasts and spiritual insects to advance.
The battle between the black-striped ants and the black-bellied hornets was about to break out. As the two sides collided, a large number of black-striped ants continued to fall from the sky.
Even if they had a sufficient advantage in numbers, there was still a clear gap in rank and combat power.
The battle ratio between the two sides reached an irreparable gap. At least after thirty black-striped ants fell, an injured black-bellied hornet died and fell to the ground.
If it weren't for the sufficient advantage in numbers, Sun Mingsheng would not dare to release the black-striped ants to participate in such a battle with an obvious gap.
A quarter of an hour later, most of the two hundred black-striped ants were injured or killed, and only forty black-striped ants were left intact. After the battle, these hardworking little guys fell to the ground and pulled the corpses of the black-bellied hornets into the storage bag for the queen bee to enjoy.
These black-striped ants that survived the cruel battle test did not change on the surface, but the unique ferocity of the spirit beasts was revealed bit by bit.
Whether it is a demon beast or a cultivator, they are essentially the same. Only by training in battles of blood and fire can they become the most elite.
"The three Taoists are very sharp. They killed all the black-bellied hornets so quickly. I wonder how much royal jelly they got?" When Sun Mingsheng appeared here, Chen Huan and the other two had already started cutting in front of the beehive.
Waves of rich and unique fragrance of spiritual honey kept wafting and rushing into the nostrils, which made people feel refreshed.
"The beehive has not been cut yet, so how can there be royal jelly? All the spiritual honey is evenly distributed. This is a portion for fellow Taoist Sun," the burly female cultivator responded unhappily.
"Quickly collect the spoils. The remaining poisonous bees may return at any time."
