“Buzz, buzz, buzz.” With a buzzing sound, more than thirty Spirit Ant Bees, led by the Spirit Ant Bee Queen, rushed out of the Great Winged Vehicle.
These past few days, the Spirit Ant Bee Queen had not only hatched all the Devouring Gold Ants and Spiritual Bees, but also hatched more than thirty of her own eggs.
The newly hatched Spirit Ant Bees looked exactly like her, with thick mandibles and sharp stingers at their tails.
What was even more remarkable was that after their stingers were used, they could slowly regrow.
They would not die after losing their stingers, unlike Spiritual Bees.
New species, new vitality.
Qian Duoduo and the Spirit Ant Bee Queen exchanged a brief message with their Spiritual Awareness.
The Spirit Ant Bee Queen led the Spirit Ant Bee swarm towards the Golden Ox herd in the distance.
After they flew away, Zhangzuo Dajiu, who was greatly surprised, asked, “Are these also from your estate?”
“Yes. The Spirit Ant Bee Garden.”
“Spirit Ant Bee? I haven’t heard of this species?”
“It’s brand new.”
“Amazing.” Zhangzuo Dajiu gave a thumbs up.
Qian Duoduo smiled slightly, thinking to himself, this is just the beginning; when the Spirit Ant Bees develop to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, even Yuanying Perfected cultivators wouldn’t dare to provoke them—that’s when it would truly be amazing.
In his line of sight, the Spirit Ant Bee swarm flew to the nearest Golden Ox herd.
Under the command of the Spirit Ant Bee Queen, the Spirit Ant Bees began to drive the Golden Oxen towards Qian Duoduo and his group.
If any were disobedient, the Spirit Ant Bees would land on their heads and bite them with their mandibles.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo also understood why the Golden Ox herd hadn’t come over.
Because the hillside was high, the temperature was low, and the grass there was not as lush as that at the foot of the mountain.
The Golden Ox herd had both males and females, so they didn’t lack companions.
Those male Golden Oxen had no need to run outside the herd to seek mates.
Under the driving of the Spirit Ant Bees, the first herd of three to four hundred Golden Oxen finally came running over.
Some of the more reckless male Golden Oxen spotted the wandering female Golden Oxen, and as soon as they got a little closer, they were immediately captivated by these charming female Golden Oxen.
Under the guidance of the Inner Sect Disciples, the female Golden Oxen walked into the Great Winged Vehicle, and the male Golden Oxen foolishly followed them in.
As soon as a male Golden Ox entered the Great Winged Vehicle, it would be knocked out by a Medicinal Pill.
Whether it’s people or oxen, those infatuated with beauty must pay a price.
While the beauty trap continuously succeeded here, the Spirit Ant Bees set off again to drive the next Golden Ox herd.
At this rate, at most three Golden Ox herds would be enough to fill one hundred Great Winged Vehicles.
Soon, the Spirit Ant Bee swarm drove another herd of Golden Oxen to the hillside.
The Spirit Ant Bee Queen’s command ability was indeed strong; the speed of driving the oxen increased significantly compared to the first time, and this herd of Golden Oxen was also larger than the previous one.
As soon as the third batch of Golden Oxen arrived, Zhangzuo Dajiu stood up.
“Bu Huan, once the Great Winged Vehicles are full, immediately lead the team back to the sect. I’ll be back soon.”
Seeing the Killing Intent on his face, Qian Duoduo knew he was going to disrupt the Shengling Sect, and couldn’t help but remind him: “Dajiu, please be careful, and be sure to return unharmed.”
Just then, the figure of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator flew from a distance towards them.
This was probably an Elder from the Shengling Sect inspecting the Demon Crow Plains, unaware if he had received a distress signal from that Disciple.
“I know.” Zhangzuo Dajiu said with satisfaction, taking out an ordinary Flying Sword and slowly moving to meet the Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
“Recall the bee swarm, prepare to go home.” Qian Duoduo transmitted a message to the Spirit Ant Bee Queen with his Spiritual Awareness.
Within a few breaths, the Spirit Ant Bee Queen had already led the swarm back to the first Great Winged Vehicle.
“For those filled with Golden Oxen, recall the female Golden Oxen, slowly retreat, and return to the sect by the original route.”
Qian Duoduo commanded the Inner Sect Disciples.
In his sight, Zhangzuo Dajiu flew low to the ground, his head bowed, still about ten zhang away from the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and called out, “Elder.”
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator stopped and began to say, “Over there—”
Before he could continue, Zhangzuo Dajiu was already in front of him, and the Hundred Refinement Golden Sword slashed towards his neck.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s face changed drastically, and the hand he had tucked into his robe was pulled out.
The next moment, his head flew into the air, but a blood-colored distress flare also shot into the sky and exploded.
“Everyone, recall the Golden Oxen, retreat into the valley, withdraw!”
Qian Duoduo stood up.
Their tracks had been exposed, so they had to withdraw quickly.
One Great Winged Vehicle after another slowly ascended, flying in an orderly fashion towards the valley.
Having killed a Shengling Sect Elder in one move, Zhangzuo Dajiu no longer concealed his strength.
Streaks of mournful sword light flew towards the Golden Ox herds, Golden Horse herds, and Spiritual Sheep herds on the grassland.
In an instant, the grassland became a slaughterhouse.
Qian Duoduo took out his Golden Rooster Sword and also nearly slaughtered the hundreds of Golden Oxen on the hillside, before charging into the valley of the Magic Crow Mountain Range.
It was truly contradictory.
These Golden Oxen, which Qian Duoduo loved, had their throats slit without hesitation when he left them.
One hundred green Great Winged Vehicles, connected end to end, like a long caterpillar, full and satisfied, crawled through the valley.
At this moment, the convoy was at its most vulnerable.
As long as one Foundation Establishment Cultivator stood in front of the Sect Boundary Formation, blocking the narrow, only five or six zhang wide smuggling passage, one man holding the pass against ten thousand, the entire poaching team could be captured.
“Faster, faster, faster!”
Qian Duoduo stood at the Sect Boundary Formation, his hands like fans, fanning vigorously forward, wishing he could fan all one hundred Great Winged Vehicles back to the sect at once.
These Great Winged Vehicles were filled with the male Golden Oxen he had been longing for.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
One Great Winged Vehicle after another swept past Qian Duoduo, lining up to enter the smuggling passage.
The passage was only that wide, allowing only one vehicle to pass at a time.
Fortunately, their cooperation was becoming more and more tacit, and the speed of passage was getting faster and faster.
Suddenly, Qian Duoduo felt a fierce gaze fixed on him, but he looked around and couldn’t find the source.
Just then, his Spiritual Awareness sensed that the danger came from above.
He looked up sharply at the sky, only to see a black dot descending from the sky, growing larger and larger.
The black dot’s target was precisely the smuggling passage.
“Quick! Quick! Quick!”
Qian Duoduo flew above the smuggling passage and roared at the Great Winged Vehicles.
There were still more than twenty Great Winged Vehicles that hadn’t returned to the sect.
No matter who was coming, Qian Duoduo could not let him destroy this passage.
In his Spiritual Awareness, Qian Duoduo could already discern that the black dot was an eagle.
Closer still, Qian Duoduo recognized it as the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle.
The companion Xuan Beast of the Liang Family Old Ancestor, a High-Level Profound Beast, equivalent to a Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle’s wings were about ten zhang long, stirring up a whirlwind as it descended from the sky, about to smash into the smuggling passage.
Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth, rushed into mid-air, raised his hand, and shot dozens of Yin Yang Scissors at the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle.
After returning from the Jinlun Mountains, among the Magic Treasures Qian Duoduo refined, this one was the most numerous.
Before the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle could dodge, Qian Duoduo made these dozens of Yin Yang Spring Breeze Scissors explode simultaneously, creating a thick cloud of smoke in the air.
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle dared not fly into this smoke, so it tilted a wing and moved aside.
The whirlwind generated by its wings flattened a section of the forest.
The smuggling passage narrowly escaped disaster.
“Ten Coins Unite as One.”
Before the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle could catch its breath, Qian Duoduo directly unleashed his strongest attack.
A golden, shimmering copper coin suddenly appeared, circling around the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle’s neck. The four inner edges of the copper coin glowed with a cold light, sharp as blades.
Before setting off, Qian Duoduo had mastered the second layer of the Turning Stone into Gold Art, and his Spiritual Qi circulation speed had doubled again.
“Close.”
Qian Duoduo suddenly clenched his palm.
The inner edges of the copper coin rapidly tightened, constricting the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle’s neck.
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle was startled.
Last time, it was nearly killed when Zhangzuo Dajiu’s copper coin constricted its belly.
It flapped its wings, just about to fly into the sky, when a silver light flew over and shattered Qian Duoduo’s copper coin.
Qian Duoduo looked back and saw that the person who emitted the silver light looked like an old farmer, wearing a straw cloak with a bamboo basket on his back—it was none other than the Liang Family Old Ancestor.
His eyes gleamed with cold light, looking as if he wanted to devour Qian Duoduo.
As the Liang Family Old Ancestor just raised his silver shovel, a strong gust of wind swept from the valley.
“Bu Huan, you withdraw! I’ll handle this!”
Zhangzuo Dajiu arrived.
He held his Hundred Refinement Golden Sword horizontally, blocking the Liang Family Old Ancestor.
