131: King and Queen Ants

"Confine!"

As Mu Feng withdrew his spell, all the Heaven Crystal Ants seemed to be trapped by something.

They struggled desperately in the azure light, trying to escape.

But no matter how hard they tried, it was useless.

Just like the Azure Dragon Flag.

After Foundation Establishment, Mu Feng had fully developed the power of the Qingguang Mirror.

That last move was precisely the Qingguang Mirror's new function.

Enemy confinement.

After being illuminated by the azure light, the body would be immobilized.

The weaker the magic power.

The longer the confinement time.

It was perfect for dealing with Spiritual Insects like the Heaven Crystal Ant, which had strong physical qualities but low magic power.

"Hiss!"

The trapped Heaven Crystal Ants let out unwilling cries.

But there was nothing they could do.

"Die!"

Mu Feng gripped the air, and a silver long spear appeared in his hand.

The spear tip rapidly jabbed at the trapped Heaven Crystal Ants.

All the Heaven Crystal Ants trapped in the azure light were pierced and eliminated.

"After Cultivating Divine Origin Skill to the second layer, controlling Magical Artifacts is indeed much easier!"

His Divine Soul power was now almost approaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

Magical Artifacts that he couldn't use simultaneously before were now very easy to handle.

It has to be said.

Divine Sense indeed provided significant help in combat.

Withdrawing the silver spear in his hand.

Mu Feng squatted down and tried to collect from these Heaven Crystal Ant corpses.

"System Reminder: Spirit Stone x1"

"System Reminder: Spirit Stone x1"

...

"Hmm, what's going on? I can actually collect Spirit Stones from these insect corpses."

Mu Feng looked at the extra Spirit Stones in his hand.

He had a confused expression.

"Heaven Crystal Ants like to eat Ore, and Spirit Stones are also one of their foods. It's normal to collect Spirit Stones from their corpses."

"So that's how it is."

Mu Feng nodded.

When he looked at the illustrated guide before, it did say that Heaven Crystal Ants liked to eat Spirit Stones.

He counted them.

He collected a total of twenty-four Spirit Stones.

On average, each Heaven Crystal Ant corpse could yield three Spirit Stones.

Not bad.

A small windfall.

He put away the Spirit Stones.

Adding what he picked up earlier.

His current total of Low-Grade Spirit Stones had reached an astonishing 7290 pieces.

Such a large amount of Spirit Stones was enough for him to exchange for any item he wanted at the auction.

However, when he looked at the preview.

Only the Blood Transformation Grass was a must-buy item.

The others were to be decided based on the situation.

He got sidetracked.

After putting away the Spirit Stones.

Mu Feng checked for any missing items and then headed towards the treasure chest's location.

To prevent the previous situation from happening again.

Mu Feng activated his Divine Sense to its maximum.

Observing the environmental changes within a one-kilometer radius.

"Hiss, why are there so many now?"

"It seems this Heaven Crystal Ant colony is quite large."

As soon as his Divine Sense was activated.

Mu Feng discovered the patrolling Sky Crystal Ant Squads around him.

Some were in groups of seven or eight, others in groups of twenty or thirty.

There were over a hundred Heaven Crystal Ants within the range of his Divine Sense alone.

"It looks like we're probably close to their lair."

The stricter the Heaven Crystal Ant patrols.

The more it indicated that their lair was not far from here.

This made Mu Feng both surprised and delighted.

He was delighted that the treasure chest was not far from him.

He was surprised that the subsequent journey might become increasingly dangerous.

He had to be even more careful.

Otherwise, given the density of these Sky Crystal Ant Squad patrols.

As long as one squad discovered him.

It was likely that other Sky Crystal Ant Squads would immediately gather.

At that point, let alone stealing the platinum treasure chest.

Whether he could safely withdraw would be a problem.

Fortunately, his Divine Sense was strong enough.

He perfectly avoided these Sky Crystal Ant Squads before they could patrol past him.

Just like that.

Mu Feng continued to advance towards the Heaven Crystal Ant lair.

"Found it!"

After walking another seven or eight hundred meters, the Heaven Crystal Ant lair entered the range of his Divine Sense detection.

"One, two."

"There really are two treasure chests!"

Upon discovering the Heaven Crystal Ant lair, Mu Feng also saw the two platinum treasure chests next to their lair.

This made his heart pound with excitement.

"Hmm?"

"There seems to be a very powerful Heaven Crystal Ant near this lair."

"No, it should be two, but one is slightly weaker in strength, though both are at Foundation Establishment strength."

"It should be the Ant King and Ant Queen."

In his Divine Sense detection.

Two powerful Heaven Crystal Ants caught his attention.

"How can I even play this..."

These Heaven Crystal Ants were already difficult to deal with.

If he added the Foundation Establishment Stage Ant King and Ant Queen, he wouldn't have any chance of winning.

"It seems it's impossible to take both treasure chests. Let's see if I can take the one farther from the Ant King and Ant Queen."

After detecting the Ant King and Ant Queen with Foundation Establishment Stage strength in this Secret Realm.

Mu Feng's strategy immediately changed.

He no longer sought to take everything.

He would be satisfied with just one.

Fortunately, the Ant King and Ant Queen were together.

They hadn't separated to guard one treasure chest each, otherwise Mu Feng would have no choice but to turn around and leave right now.

Even ordinary Heaven Crystal Ants were so difficult to deal with.

He dared not imagine the Foundation Establishment Stage Ant King and Ant Queen.

Plus the Heaven Crystal Ant army protecting the Ant King and Ant Queen nearby.

If he dared to confront them and try to take their treasures, he would surely die.

Having decided on a strategy of outsmarting them.

Mu Feng concealed his figure and slowly walked towards the platinum treasure chest that was not close to the Ant King and Ant Queen.

As he walked, he surveyed the surrounding environment.

To prevent his tracks from being exposed.

"Sigh, if only the Concealment Talisman from last time was still here."

When he snatched the spirit eye tree in the valley before, he had completely used up the power of the Concealment Talisman he traded from Han Yuyan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to be so nervous about being discovered.

"It seems I really need to keep a Concealment Talisman for backup."

Mu Feng secretly decided in his heart.

When he returned and the Bishui Talisman was made, he would definitely exchange one with the other party.

As for the one at the auction.

Mu Feng thought about it and decided against it.

That item's price would probably not be low.

It would be unwise to compete with others there.

His relationship with the other party was quite good.

He should leverage his advantage.

Just like Li Chenxi came to him to buy Youth Preservation Pill.

Of course.

Those were matters for after he returned.

What he needed to do now was figure out how to evade the patrols of these Sky Crystal Ant Squads.

The closer he got to their lair, the denser the Heaven Crystal Ant patrols became.

To avoid being discovered, Mu Feng didn't even dare to pick up the Ore scattered on the ground along the way.

Just like that.

Under his carefulness.

He finally got closer and closer to the two platinum treasure chests.

Eventually, Mu Feng stopped about a hundred meters away from the Heaven Crystal Ant lair.

It wasn't that he didn't want to get closer.

The main reason was that the closer he got to the lair, the stricter the Heaven Crystal Ant patrols became.

He wasn't confident that his figure wouldn't be discovered if he got any closer.

"Let's first look at the information of this Ant King and Ant Queen."

The information seen in the illustrated guide was not comprehensive enough.

And it was only for ordinary Heaven Crystal Ants.

The Ant King and Ant Queen had some obvious differences from them.

Thinking this.

Mu Feng focused his attention.

Soon.

The information of the Ant King and Ant Queen appeared before his eyes.
