With Qin Mo’s sudden shout, the disciples who were still resting immediately became alert as they grabbed their weapons beside them and stood in a combat stand, following Qin Mo’s gaze and looking ahead.
The sound of shuffling grew louder and louder, like the sound of chewing, a very frightening sound to hear. At this moment, everyone’s nerves were tense as they looked in the direction where the sound was coming, wondering what was making them.
Just as the crowd’s eyes widened, the small shrubs before them actually disappeared slowly as a huge, dark figure appeared in their line of sight. Upon seeing it, the disciples took in an intake of sharp air.
It was a giant jungle ant!
A giant jungle ant is a large black ant found in dense forests. It is about one meter tall and is three meters long. What is chilling about this ant is they are a large-type of devouring ants.
They like to eat anything, from roadside plants and trees to the flesh and blood of humans and animals.
A giant jungle ant’s cultivation level is generally not high, only about Third-Level Qin Refining. However, what is terrifying is that giant jungle ants are social creatures that often appear in large groups.
The giant ants in front of them were about half the height of a person, and by now, they had devoured the shrubs and even cleaned the scattered flowers and plants. Their appearance also slowly emerged into their view.
Many disciples’ eyes had a look of panic. The jungle ants were densely packed, hundreds or even thousands of them at a glance. None of them had expected that so many of them had been hiding in this small forest.
The two huge antennas on the giant ants’ foreheads pointed straight at the disciples, as if sensing the taste of flesh and blood there. Their antennae quickly vibrated rapidly, emitting a buzzing sound. The one that was heading the group turned as the light in its eyes flickering, as if an eerily white glow flashed in them.
“Ah!” A young disciple couldn’t bear the heavy atmosphere and unconsciously waved his longsword towards a giant ant in front of him.
A loud clunk followed by a large crack on the blade, while the giant ant only shook its body slightly, as if from a small discomfort. Another characteristic of the jungle ant is its extremely tough defense, with its dark exoskeleton able to withstand ordinary standard-grade magical items.
That giant ant seemed to be angered by the disciple’s attack. With a slight movement from its two front legs, its enormous body jumped up in the same spot nimbly, followed by charging straight towards the disciple. The sharp spikes on its upper jaw had a tinged green hue, a sign that it was possibly venomous.

The Senior Martial Brother grasped his long turquoise sword in hand, blocking the giant ant’s attack. The dark monster and the figure in white clashed.
As if unaware of this strange contrast, Qin Mo danced with his sword at lightning speed. After a few powerful strikes, the giant ant died under his blade. He had reached Foundation Building, so the level difference between him and the giant ant was very obvious.
The giant ant lay on the ground with dark green liquid flowing out of its messy wounds. As soon as the liquid came into contact with its blood, many holes were formed in the originally flat ground, emitting a large quantity of green smoke from time to time. The pungent smell made Qin Mo frowned.
The other alive giant ants rushed forward with great excitement when they saw the fallen carcass. In just a few moments, the body on the ground was eaten up.
Before anyone could recover from the shock, the giant ants once again focused their attention on the disciples. It seemed that because they had just eaten their companion’s body, the giant ants appeared stimulated. Their original black eyes also turned dark red. As their two long antennae trembled, they rushed to the group.
Maybe from killing another one of their kind and angering them, Qin Mo was surrounded by more enemies. From a distant glance, in this field of blackness, only a faint dot of white could be seen.
Qin Mo held Biyou and looked at the giant ants in front of him. Laying his sword across his chest, his eyes were calm. As he swung slowly, he found that none of the giant ants could break through his defense.
After a moment, a ripple slowly appeared in front of him, like the glistening of a water surface. It slowly burst forth, enveloping the giant ants. Any ants that touched the ripple seemed to melt and disappear in place.
“Clear Wave Sword Technique!” The disciple behind him blurted out when he took a look at Qin Mo’s situation.
The Yueqing Sect was not only one of the three major sects in the Blue Sky Realm, but also a sword sect, with most of its disciples practicing swordsmanship. The Clear Wave Sword Technique is one of the unique techniques of the Yueqing Sect.
The so-called Clear Wave Sword Technique emphasizes the use of slow speed, as a means to use softness to conquer strength. The most powerful thing is that it could produce corrosive ripples, which was exactly the sword technique Qin Mo had used.
The disciples, who had already worn themselves up from dealing with giant ants, saw Qin Mo effortlessly eliminate these monsters, this brought lights in their eyes. Their spirits instantly shoot up to the sky. They followed his example and began to use their powerful swordsmanship. Being an excellent group of disciples from the sect in the first place, in just a moment, they continuously eliminated the giant ants.
There were more and more black corpses piled on the ground, and only about a few handful of giant ants were still breathing. At that moment, the leader of the giant ant stood upright, raising its body up high. Its two long antennae swung violently, and for a moment, an extremely intense buzzing traveled in the air again.
This was the moment when other giant ants stopped their attack and silently retreated back to the leader. They bowed with great respect, as if waiting for something.
Seeing them like this, the disciples who had already put their minds at ease became nervous again, not knowing what would come next, so they began to gather around Qin Mo one after another.
Buzz!
A loud humming sounded, and everyone followed the sound, stunning in place.
Amidst the buzzing sound, an even large giant jungle ant appeared in the sky. It was about the size of about four giant ants, covered in crimson from head to toe, and the most peculiar thing was the two pairs of large wings behind it, which were carrying the ant through the air at this moment.
The red giant ant came to the leading giant ant and circled around it a few times. The leader’s antennae shook and immediately lay to the ground.
Then the barbs on the upper jaw of the red giant ant suddenly grew as it thrust into the head of the leader on the ground. In an instant, it seemed that something flowed into the body of the red giant ant through the barbs.
Qin Mo widened his eyes as he clearly saw that the cultivation level of this red giant ant had begun to rise from seventh level to the eighth level Qi Refining.
After a moment, the giant ant leader was only left with a dried and shriveled skin. The red giant ant pulled out its spike, shook its body as if dissatisfied, and did the same to the nearby giant ants, sucking them dry.
Everyone could only watch in shock as its cultivation continued to climb. At the end, it had already broken through and reached the Foundation Building.
“It’s the queen, the queen of the jungle ant.” One of the disciples murmured.
The jungle ant queen is undoubtedly the strongest among the giant jungle ant. Unlike other giant ants, its responsibility is to continuously reproduce offspring, and it has the simplest way to improve its cultivation by absorbing the power of the other giant jungle ants.
With that thought, everyone’s face turned pale as they didn’t want to become the queen’s food.
“Everything is fine. Da Shixiong has reached the Building Foundation. He is strong enough to defeat this tiny ant.” The disciple that spoke secretly glanced at Qin Mo’s face, and saw the young man was staring at the ant in front with indifferent and showing any intention of refuting, so the disciple spoke even louder.
“That’s right, Da Shixiong can definitely defeat it; he is also at the Foundation Building!” The other disciples showed a look of joy when hearing this. They looked at Qin Mo with adoration on their faces.
After a few moments, the giant ant opened its mouth, as if it had its fill and directed its gaze to them.
Qin Mo clenched the sword in his hand, and as he was about to take a step forward, a raised hand suddenly stopped him.
“Da Shixiong, allow me.” The youth’s clear and smooth voice rang out. Qin Mo turned and saw Lin Zizheng holding his hand out with a smile.
Qin Mo was shocked but nodded, accepting his offer. In his view, everyone needs to grow, not to mention that Lin Zizheng is the protagonist of this world. Even if the youth ultimately loses to the ant queen, there was still him here.
This was Qin Mo’s thought process, but he was unaware how hard he was gripping his sword or how tense his body was, in a posture as if ready to charge up at any time. He was still extremely worried about Lin Zizheng, since this was a boy who he watched grow up.
The disciples behind him heard Lin Zizheng’s words then saw no objective look on the Senior Martial Brother’s face, they couldn’t resist showing a look of resentment.
“Tsk, he is only at Seventh-Level Qi Refining. He is delusional if he thinks he can defeat the ant queen. Is he hoping for Da Shixiong to collect his body?” The person who spoke mockingly was an elite disciple of the inner sect, who reached Ninth-Level Qi Refining.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the Senior Martial Brother staring coldly at him and kept the remaining comments to himself. He felt remorse inside. How could he forget that Lin Zizheng was still the Senior Martial Brother’s attendant, so it was no wonder that his words would make the young man unhappy.
Lin Zizheng paid no mind to the gossip behind him. All he cared about was the Senior Martial Brother. This time, he just wanted to display his abilities to the Senior Martial Brother alone.
Let Lin Zizheng boast to his senior martial brother >.<
