Chapter 59 Moving Away, the Ant King Arrives!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the entire dark spring was pulled out of the ground intact. Black light flashed on all five planes: east, west, south, north, and bottom. Upon closer inspection, one could see that they were shadow ants tightly packed together, their bodies radiating black energy, forming five impenetrable black curtains.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the three enormous abyssal ants, after a brief moment of shock, immediately raised their sharp mandibles and hissed, repeatedly threatening the shadow ants to release the Nether Spring back.
They possess strength comparable to Contra, their intelligence is already quite strong, and their thought patterns are even close to those of ordinary humans.
"Your strength is both your strength and your weakness. Although you are powerful, you dare not act rashly."
Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes flashed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he had already anticipated this scene. The three abyss ants only threatened him, but dared not make a move.
These three abyssal ants are very strong. Even if he mobilizes his entire shadow army, it will be difficult to kill them in a short time. The ant queen is on her way, and he doesn't have much time. The tactic of attrition warfare with sheer numbers is simply not going to work.
But just now, these three abyssal ants stood motionless guarding the abyssal dark lotus, clearly taking the task entrusted to them by the ant queen to guard the abyssal dark lotus as the highest order.
Therefore, Jiang Xiu conceived the idea of moving the entire Nether Spring. Firstly, it would ensure that the Abyss Dark Lotus could mature normally, and secondly, it would allow him to take the Abyss Dark Lotus away before the Ant King arrived...
The third point is that by controlling the Nether Spring, he also controls the still immature Abyss Dark Lotus. These three Abyss Ants at the Hu Douluo level will definitely be hesitant to act, because their primary mission is to protect the Abyss Dark Lotus.
When the lotus grows, they grow; when the lotus dies, they die!
He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but he won the bet.
"Shadow Legion, full speed ahead!"
Jiang Xiu moved swiftly, instantly disappearing into the shadows. When he reappeared, he was already standing above Youquan. With a sharp look in his eyes, he gave a deep command.
As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, thousands of shadow ants at the bottom of the dark spring immediately took off, carrying a weight many times greater than their own, and rushed towards the distance, causing the ground to tremble and dust to rise.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Three abyss ants kept blocking the way around the dark spring, their compound eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness.
We can't fight them, because if we break the Nether Spring and damage the Dark Lotus within it, they'll definitely be killed by the Ant King and the game will have to start over.
However, if they don't fight, they can only follow Youquan and run into the distance, waiting for the ant queen to find them. This is a relatively safe method. One of them even kept leaving formic acid as a marker along the way.
"Suicide squad, intercept them."
The actions of these three abyssal ants naturally caught Jiang Xiu's attention. Seeing that the distance was about right, Jiang Xiu waved his hand, and one after another, robust shadow soldiers rushed out from the Monarch's Domain, heading straight for the abyssal ants.
Each of these shadow soldiers possessed energy fluctuations comparable to those of a Soul King, making them many times stronger than the shadow soldiers who had self-destructed by the Nether Spring.
"We were afraid that the self-destruction would attract too much attention. Did you really think your shells were so tough? Today, I'll show you what it means for an explosion to be art."
Jiang Xiu remained calm, his slender hands slightly clenched in the air, his index fingers and thumbs interlaced.
As Jiang Xiu activated the Shadow Monarch's abilities, the Shadow Soldiers surrounding the Abyss Ants all emitted beams of light that pierced through their bodies, and waves of energy surged wildly.
"Snapped!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The next moment, a crisp snap of fingers rang out, followed by a series of loud booming sounds as terrifying energy orbs exploded from the shadow soldiers' bodies.
One or two self-destructing is fine, but when hundreds of such Shadow Soldiers self-destruct together, even the three Abyss Ants, who have strength comparable to Contra, are forced to slow down and release energy for defense.
During a gap in their defenses, the Shadow Army, carrying the Ghost Spring, accelerated once more, rushing rapidly into the distance. Jiang Xiu also continuously manipulated the remaining Shadow Soldiers to self-destruct.
Because the abyssal power within these shadow soldiers is in Jiang Xiu's hands, even after self-destruction, they will return to the Monarch's Domain to be reborn, although their strength will be weakened with each self-destruction.
"Expand your domain!"
Watching the abyss ants gradually fall behind, Jiang Xiu slammed his palm onto the dark spring beneath his feet. Instantly, darkness descended like night. With the release of Jiang Xiu's Monarch Domain, it was like layers of surging tides, enveloping the entire dark spring in just a moment.
Jiang Xiu's shadow already possessed a cultivation level comparable to a Soul King. With its Monarch Domain fully extended, it was enough to cover an area of nearly two hundred meters, easily encompassing this small-to-medium-sized secluded spring.
The next instant, the entire dark spring seemed to have completely vanished from this world, with not a trace of its presence emanating from it, and even the unique fragrance of the Abyss Dark Lotus disappeared.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Seeing their target disappear, the three abyss ants became even more anxious, constantly hissing and praying that the Nether Spring would not leave.
Without the secluded spring, how will they survive!
But in the end, Youquan abandoned them without hesitation, disappearing completely from their sight.
Where the spring once stood, only a large, sunken pit remains, now empty.
Just then, in the distance from the crater, a cloud of dust rose and the ground trembled violently. A huge figure appeared on the ground in the distance, approaching from afar.
Only when it got closer did we truly discover its terror. Its body was hundreds of meters tall, like a black mountain, with eight sharp claws on its body. Its entire body was covered with a black keratin layer, and dark red liquid, like magma, flowed around it, as if it were flames burning inside its body, revealing an aura of endless violence and destruction.
Its body is divided into three sections, with the head being the largest. It is a spiral-shaped circle with two protruding fangs and two dark purple tentacles on its head that are tens of meters long and sway gently.
And he is the true ruler of the seventy-sixth layer of the abyss, the emperor of the abyss ant race, the king ranked seventy-sixth in the abyss—the Ant King!
The ant queen moved extremely fast, and in just one breath, she brought a larger abyss ant to the side of the sunken pit.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The larger abyssal ant stared at the sunken ground before it, then anxiously searched back and forth.
The ant king was also taken aback, its scarlet compound eyes filled with doubt, its two huge tentacles swaying back and forth.
Where did this come from? Where is his secluded spring? Where is his precious dark lotus in the abyss?
