“Disciples, remove the corpse of the Ant Queen!” He Yiming ordered.
“Yes, Brother Ming!” The players were taken aback for a moment, then quickly went forward. After working hard, they finally dragged the corpse of the Ant Queen to the side.
Having lost the cover of the Ant Queen’s corpse, He Yiming walked over and pressed his hand on the ground. He closed his eyes and began to sense.
After stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had already obtained his Spiritual Sense. His Spiritual Sense was comparable to the Azure Emperor Immortal’s body that was operating between the pillars of Qian Shou. He could only vaguely sense that the demon beasts were different.
The Spiritual Sense could spread over a hundred meters, sensing everything in the distance in detail.
After reaching the Sea Wheel Realm, the range could be increased tenfold!
After reaching the Heavenly Pill, his Spiritual Sense could cover an area of ten thousand meters!
“It’s actually … spirit vein!” He Yiming’s expression changed.
No wonder these Ironblood Army Ants wanted to build a nest here. No wonder the queen chose to sit here.
It turned out that there was a spiritual vein hidden under the body of the Ant Queen.
The so-called spirit vein was an object formed from the power of some natural law in the world.
Spirit veins were extremely useful. Even those that had exhausted their spirit energy would shatter and disperse before they disappeared, and eventually turn into spirit stone veins.
It could be said that spirit veins were something that condensed tens of thousands of spirit stones.
But to He Yiming, the spirit vein had another great use.
It was to be buried in the sect’s ground, to give birth to spirit energy for the sect. At the same time, it could be used to activate the sect protecting array!
After all, if the grand sect protection array was maintained with spirit stones, the consumption would be too great. Not many people would be able to afford it.
However, spirit veins were different. They could automatically absorb the spirit energy of Heaven and Earth and continuously provide energy for the grand sect protection array!
“This is a good thing! I, He Yiming, accept it!” He Yiming was overjoyed. He used his full strength to activate his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation and slammed it onto the ground.
Boom!!!
In the next moment, the ground collapsed. An enormous long line that was like a snake emitted a brilliant glow, soared into the sky and was pinched by He Yiming.
At this moment, the object that grew longer, sometimes thinner, and constantly changing in colour was the spirit vein.
In He Yiming’s eyes, this was a low-grade spirit vein.
However, it was enough to maintain a rank two sect’s protection array.
“Good thing!” He Yiming nodded in satisfaction and put it into his storage pouch. Looking at the pink bag of holding, He Yiming sighed.
If it wasn’t for the storage pouch that Nangong Li had given him, he probably wouldn’t have been able to carry such a good low-grade spirit vein.
“Brother Ming, what is that?” Seeing this scene, many players were astonished.
“This thing is called a spirit vein! It’s exquisite!” He Yiming smiled and roughly explained.
“This spirit vein can maintain the operation of the array? Bullshit!”
“Damn, this spirit vein is hidden underground. If you don’t look carefully, who can find it? Don’t tell me we’ll have to sweep it underground in the future?”
“Three spirit stones are 100 contribution points. How much can this spirit vein be exchanged for? Hold the grass!”
Many players began to discuss, each one of them red-eyed. A few players were still touching the ground, and they were also dreaming of finding a spirit vein with good luck.
Ignoring the players, He Yiming looked at the thousands of eggs.
The eggs of Ironblood Army Ants. He Yiming knew that the Iron Blood Army Ants alone were not strong enough, but if there were many of them and there was an Ant Queen behind them, they would indeed be terrifying!
If the number of Ironblood Army Ants was more than 100,000, even the great demon at the Sea Wheel Realm would not dare to fight it head-on.
“Unfortunately, the Ant Queen is already dead! I can’t control these Ironblood Army Ants …
“Besides, incubation also requires a lot of assistance, and a lot of time” He Yiming felt a bit of pity.
The adult Ironblood Army Ants were all killed by the players. The eggs of these Ironblood Army Ants would become food for other demon beasts sooner or later.
“The first form of the Bright Sword Technique, Hengtian!!!” He Yiming raised his hand, holding the flying sword in his hand. He raised his hand and slashed across the sky.
Boom!
A sword slash tore through the air! Dozens of meters of giant slashes howled past!
The next moment, the eggs of thousands of Ironblood Army Ants were directly chopped off.
These countless Ironblood Army Ants had died before they were born.
“Hold the grass, brother Ming also knows sword skills?”
“Hold the grass, this move exploded!”
“Damn, when will the sword cultivator path open? I want to become a sword cultivator!”
The players were dumbstruck when they saw this. The few players who were quick in their hands took a screenshot in one go.
“Time to go back!” He Yiming nodded. He turned around and led the players out of the cave.
Star and the others also took all the items that they had gathered from the Iron-Blood Army Ants into their storage talismans and handed them over to He Yiming.
It could be said that this treasure hunt had been extremely rewarding.
Putting aside the rest, just the Bright Sword Art alone was enough to be one of He Yiming’s powerful trump cards.
As for the low-grade spirit vein, he was completely overjoyed!
“When I completely control this Bright Sword Art, once the system has levelled up, I can consider passing it on to the players … However, I have to first get a batch of flying swords out … Without them, how can they become sword cultivators?” He Yiming thought to himself.
Walking out of the Ironblood Army Ant Lair, He Yiming and the other players quickly returned to the Spirit War Chariot.
He Yiming had originally planned to stay in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for a while and collect some spirit herbs. However, after checking the storage talismans that Star had handed over, he discovered that these Ironblood Army Ants had accumulated a large number of precious spirit herbs over the years.
These spirit herbs were enough for him to refine mid-grade and high-grade pills.
He Yiming checked the system upgrade mission again.
【Goal 1: Low-grade pills:2329/10000.
Middle-grade pills:17/500.
High-grade pill:0/10.
Goal 2: Spirit Vein Demon Beast 5,133/100,000.
Foundation Establishment Demon Beast 11/300.
Sea Wheel Demon 0/1.
Goal 3: Set up a grand protective array! Unaccomplished.
Goal 4: Fate of the sect, 0/10000
Time Limit:3/20 days.】
As long as he returned, the first mission would not be a problem.
The second mission to kill a demon beast was simply too far off!
He Yiming had already thought of a plan for the third mission. Now that he was lucky enough to obtain a low-grade spirit vein, he could barely handle it.
He Yiming was still confused by his final mission.
After some thought, He Yiming decided to settle the third mission first!
Hence, He Yiming immediately gathered the players.
“Everyone, you did a great job!
“Everyone has performed very well this time around! The rewards were extremely generous! As such, this Sect Master decided to return to the sect to take care of it himself!” He Yiming said lightly.
“Hold the grass, are we going back?”
“Damn, I haven’t done enough!”
“After we return, will we open a new map?”
The players were obedient. Although they did not stop talking, they all got on the Spirit War Chariot and started to return.
Not long after He Yiming and the others left.
At an ancient teleportation formation in the Extreme Wilderness …
Zi Zi Zi Zi!
As the light from the teleportation formation flickered, ten figures slowly appeared …
