Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2056 Spoils
The Gold Armored Ant King stood proudly atop the stone stairs in the spacious hall, and his ice-cold eyes looked towards Chen Xi and Ming from a distance while it emitted an arrogant and imposing aura.
Clearly, it was the main area of the Violet Armored Ant nest, and they only had to kill the Gold Armored Ant King before they could have all the treasures that the Violet Armored Ant had plundered for so many years.
Chen Xi and Ming certainly did not intend to give up on such an opportunity, and they were truly unafraid even if the Gold Armored Ant King possessed combat power comparable to a Heavenly God.
Even if they were in the outside world, then their one thought would be enough to crush the Gold Armored Ant King easily.
“I'll fix a stronger spear for you after we kill him.” Chen Xi spoke casually as she walked towards the hall.
“Then I will thank you in advance.” Ming nodded and stepped beside Chen Xi.
They seemed to have completely ignored the Gold Armored Ant King, and they looked extremely calm and composed. Surprisingly, the Gold Armored Ant King did not launch another attack either.
His disciples were filled with a beautiful light, and he watched coldly as Chen Xi and Ming walked over. It is not known exactly what he was thinking.
A living being like the Gold Armored Ant King had surprising intelligence and a clear line of thought. So, Chen Xi could not help but frown when acting so unusually.
Right at this moment, the ant king suddenly opened his mouth. His voice was sharp and hoarse like two pieces of metal rubbing against each other, and his voice was vague and strange to the extreme.
Chen Xi could not help but become confused, and she said, “Do you understand?”
Ming pondered for a moment and spoke with a hint of uncertainty. “It seems to be said that we know that we are outsiders who do not belong to this world.”
Chen Xi's heart trembled, and she felt a little disbelief.
Meanwhile, the ant king spoke once more. It emitted a series of indistinct and strange sounds while the light in its eyes grew even more brilliant.
Chen Xi did not need to ask anymore at this time when Ming quickly said, “Said that if we submit and take it as our master, then I will let us go. If not...”
Chen Xi's eyebrows shot up. “If not, it will kill us?”
Ming nodded.
“Ha ha! How arrogant he is. ” Chen Xi laughed coldly.
Clangs!
Chen Xi raised Violet Sunset and pointed it towards the ant king from afar.
Clearly, this was the most direct method to declare war against the ant king.
This scene seemed to enrage the ant king, and a loud howl suddenly echoed from him while a purple light emanated from his entire body. Moreover, killing intent surged from it and threw this expanse of space into chaos.
“It ... said that we are looking for death!” Ming seemed to understand the ant king, and a hint of fury appeared on his beautiful and cold face.
Swooshes!
Chen Xi could not be bothered to continue listening. He flashed like a bolt of lightning while holding Violet Sunset in his hand, and he shot towards the ant king.
Bang out!
At almost the same time, the ant king also attacked fiercely. His front limbs were like peerless weapons made of gold, and they tore through space as it entered a fierce battle with Chen Xi.
For a moment, the hall began to tremble violently. Its walls collapsed while the ground broke, and the terrible aftershocks from the battle swept over and seemed to be on the verge of the destruction of this place.
Shouted Chen Xi. “Ming, quickly join and help me get it done as soon as possible. The bigger the commotion we cause, the more unfavorable it is for us! ”
Swooshes!
Chen Xi had just finished speaking when Ming acted. The light flashed swiftly while he formed a seal with his hand, and it condensed a bright green light as he launched a pincer attack against the Gold Armored Ant King with Chen Xi.
Roars!
The ant king roared while it emitted peerless divine power. His front limbs were like blades that could split through the sky as they waved, and the revealed strength actually caused Chen Xi trouble to get close to the ant king.
However, Chen Xi was well aware that this beast battle method was extremely crude, and practically had no knowledge of formidable battle techniques. It was just relying on brute strength to fight against him.
Chen Xi could not help but be confused by this. Could it be that the cultivation system in the Lost World had yet to form into a complete legacy?
Bang out!
While he was thinking all of this, Chen Xi's movements were no slower, and he was fully utilizing his combat techniques and Sword Dao to his limits.
Although he was unable to unleash the power of his Dao Sword, only the techniques he had in them were capable of revealing a destructive power that was extremely shocking when combined with Lost Energy.
In just a short period of time, he had relied on various techniques in battle to gain an absolute advantage over the ant king, and coupled with Ming's help, Chen Xi gradually began to suppress the ant king.
The ant king had clearly realized this as well, so he instantly became agitated, and started roaring repeatedly while his attacks grew louder.
But the more he acted in this way, the more the weakness was revealed, allowing Chen Xi an easier time opposing him.
Bang out!
Not long after, Chen Xi took the opportunity. His sword was like a burst that cut down the joint on the ant king's back, and tore a gap there and made blood surge out.
On the other hand, the great figure of the ant king exploded flying as well, and it exploded a hole open in the stone wall.
Swooshes!
Ming took advantage of this opportunity to cross by. He looked like he was embracing the world as he condensed the ancient seal, and it carried a light that lit up when it crashed into the ant king's head forcefully.
Crack down!
His sturdy head that seemed to be made of gold had been completely damaged by this attack. The face of the king ant was destroyed regardless of the impact of this attack, and it caused the ant king to appear extremely pitiful and ferocious.
How could Chen Xi let it work? Chen Xi's imposing gray aura was even sharper and more ferocious as he forcefully suppressed the ant king and did not give him a chance to catch his breath.
On the other hand, Ming took advantage of this opportunity to attack relentlessly. In a short period of more than 10 breaths of time, they had already covered the ant king in wounds, and his shell was dim, devoid of luster, and seemingly on the verge of collapse.
“Kill!” Chen Xi howled fiercely as she intended to kill the ant king now.
But right at this moment, the ant king suddenly emitted a sharp and anxious cry. This cry caused Ming's expression to slightly change, and he was just about to stop Chen Xi, but it was too late.
Bang out!
Chen Xi's sword pierced the ant king's head, causing his figure to stiffen before falling lifelessly to the ground.
“You...” Ming was a little surprised. It seemed that killing the ant king couldn't even bring her the slightest bit of excitement, and she was instead a bit anxious.
“What's wrong?” Chen Xi was really paying attention to him, and he felt perplexed.
Ming pursed his lips and said, “Saying that we won't be able to live long even if we kill him.”
Chen Xi said lightly. “It was just exaggerating to scare us.”
“No.” Ming said seriously, “It is said that our appearance has attracted the attention of the ruler of this area, King Mo Luo!”
King Mo Luo? Only now did Chen Xi's expression turn serious when she said, “Who is it?”
Ming shook his head and sighed. “I originally intended to spare him for now and ask about the specifications, but I'm already late.”
Chen Xi was stunned, and then she said, “It looks like I messed things up.”
Ming glanced at Chen Xi and said, “That's not your fault. It's okay if you're dead. We can ask Meng’meng if she knows King Mo Luo as soon as we return. ”
Chen Xi nodded, and then she changed the subject. “Now the Golden Armored Ant King is dead, it's time to collect the spoils of battle. I'm a little impatient. ”
“Then let's start.” Ming chuckled.
…
Hm? After a long search in this vast hall that had been broken into ruins, Chen Xi actually did not find a single treasure, and he could not help but be a little stunned by this.
“Actually there is not a single treasure in the entire nest?” Ming was also confused.
“At the very least, the corpse of this person is a very good treasure, and it is enough for me to refine a superior spear for you.” Chen Xi sighed while she headed to the corpse of the ant king.
Bang out!
As he spoke, he swung his sword and slashed the corpse of the ant king and carefully cut off his limbs. Chen Xi was just about to move when her gaze accidentally noticed that there was actually a fist-sized pearl that was completely engulfed by the purple mist in the stomach area of the ant king's corpse.
Chen Xi picked it up and measured it for a while before she roughly determined that it was a treasure, and it was not part of the ant king's body.
Swish!
Chen Xi tried pouring strands of Lost Energy into it, and then space instantly appeared within his sea of consciousness. All sorts of treasures were stacked into mountains within space. There were precious fruits, all sorts of herbs, and there was not even a shortage of materials for equipment repair. They form a dense mass that shines very brilliantly.
It is actually a storage treasure. Chen Xi was stunned, and then she immediately felt happy in her heart. Because such a treasure was priceless in the Lost World.
Most importantly, Chen Xi was finally convinced that all of the treasures gathered by the Violet Armies Enveloped Ant Army had been surprisingly stored in this storage treasure!
“The spoils are not bad. We didn't come here without success. ” Chen Xi chuckles and tells Ming about his discovery.
Ming spoke quickly. “Then let's go quickly. We are making a big fuss here, so I am worried that something unexpected will happen. ”
“That's exactly what I thought.”
As they spoke, the two of them did not hesitate to step out of the nest.
…
Swooshes!
Not long after Chen Xi and Ming left the mound that acted as the lair of the Violet Armored Ant army, a black figure suddenly flew from a very distant place in the distance.
Surprisingly, it was a type of snake beast that was around the thickness of a thumb, fully enclosed in pitch-black scales, and had a pair of blood-red fangs.
The most surprising feature was a pair of pitch-black wings. They were like bat wings, and they covered an area of over 40m.
The pitch-black flying snake swirled in the air above the mound for a long time. In the end, a gloomy and cold howl echoed from within his mouth, and then floated swiftly into the air and left.
If Ming was here, he would definitely be able to understand the meaning of that howl. Surprisingly, it means – ‘no matter who you are, King Mo Luo will definitely not forgive you for having killed Jin Jia cruelly!’.
…
In the basement.
Chen Xi and Ming started sorting the spoils once they returned here.
There were too many treasures, and they were piled on a small hill that was over 30m wide. Thus, the entire space was covered by a brilliant treasure light.
“Now, we can take some time before going out to act again ...” Mumbled Chen Xi.
“Wait. We must divide in part to’meng. Don't forget about it. ” Ming remind.
“How could I dare?” Chen Xi chuckled. As he spoke, his eyes suddenly narrowed while his attention was drawn by a piece of savage beast skin in the middle of the pile. The animal's skin was like a piece of silk, and it emitted a light green glow.
