saint of humanity

Chapter 2244 The time has come
But then again, if he is a particularly important family heir, he probably won't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Those families won't let such a person take too much risk, so of course there will be no need for ants.

There are actually very few disciples from aristocratic families who are as brave and combative as Yan Hong.

Not to mention others, just take Huang Zhihuan as an example. He has been famous for hundreds of years, but no matter how high his compatibility with the ant is, he has never appeared on the battlefield.

He has only done one thing in these hundreds of years, exploring the ruins!
Lu Ye suddenly realized that his considerations were different from those of the aristocratic families.

"Okay!" Lu Ye nodded.

There's not much difference between eighteen hundred and two thousand. It's not easy to make a trip out, so let it be. He's too lazy to go through all that.

Seeing that he agreed, Yan Hong breathed a sigh of relief. This job was not easy, and he knew that the price of eighteen hundred was a bit low, but he was a human being and was responsible for the mission of the war alliance, so he couldn't say much.

Thinking back to the quarrels when Rong Dao met a few days ago, Yan Hong couldn't help but sigh.

Even though Lu Ye had killed Rong Dao of the Insect Blood Tribe in public before, there were still many people who doubted Lu Ye's position.

There are even some who are even more shameless, saying that if Lu Ye is really loyal to the human race war alliance, he should contribute the ant to prove his loyalty instead of asking for compensation in the form of a transaction.

"Brother Lu, after this, I should go into seclusion. From now on, Xiaowu will be the one to contact you about the ant deal."

Lu Ye nodded: "Then I wish Brother Yan to be promoted to Rong Dao as soon as possible."

Yan Hong is going to go into seclusion, he must be aiming for the Dao. Huang Zhihuan has already taken the lead, so Yan Hong will naturally not fall behind.

"Thank you for your good wishes." Yan Hong smiled.

"Xiao Wu, give me your star map." Lu Ye turned and looked at Yan Xiao Wu.

Yan Xiaowu did not hesitate and immediately took out his star map and handed it to Lu Ye. Lu Ye took it and made a mark on the star map: "This position!"

It was impossible for him to point out the locations of the remaining ants, so he could only do this again and again. Although it was troublesome, it was safer.

As for who would get the second Ant Flower, Lu Ye didn't care. Those families would naturally discuss it internally, and he only needed to come and receive the Taoist Bone when the time came.

Yan Hong looked surprised.

Yan Xiaowu didn't know about the ant incident, but he was clear about it. On that day, he and Yong Shu dug thousands of feet into the ground and almost shattered the floating land before they found the ant hidden in it.

It is certain that it was not left there by Lu Ye in advance, but was buried there for many years.

Now Lu Ye pointed to another location on the star map. If he could still find the ants, it would mean that Lu Ye could sense the locations of these lost ants.

But how did he do it?

The more Yan Hong interacted with Lu Ye, the more he found himself unable to see through him.

Thinking back, I killed a vampire Rong Dao in a daze on the Blue Water War Star. I felt very strange at the time because that vampire Rong Dao had no power to resist at all.

Now it seems that it was not because the other party was careless, but it was obvious that Lu Ye broke the opponent's defense, which allowed him to succeed easily.

In other words, Lu Ye was already hiding his strength at that time...

"Brother Lu, are you in the stage of integrating into the Dao or entering the Dao now?" Yan Hong couldn't help but asked the question that was in his mind.

Lu Ye thought for a moment and said, "You can think of me as Rong Dao."

Lu Ye had already left, returning along the same path he came from and soon disappeared.

Yan Hong carefully read the words he left behind, looking shocked.

It can be seen as Rong Dao, which undoubtedly shows that Lu Ye is not Rong Dao, but he has the strength to kill Rong Dao, how incredible!

In the insect nest, Lu Ye returned and Youdie was very satisfied.

As expected, Lu Ye stopped running around. It seemed that the last incident had taught him a lesson. This was undoubtedly what Youdie wanted to see. Now, in the entire Banlan, this insect nest was the only place where he could return to. When he became familiar with this, he would be completely bound to himself and not just limited to the chain of life.

Before returning, Lu Ye had already refined the two thousand Dao Bones of the Yan family.

The harvest was not small. Lu Ye originally planned to polish his Dao Bones after returning, but he didn't expect that Youdie had left another 400 Dao Bones for him.

Lu Ye had discovered before that a lot of Dao Bones would be sent to the core of the insect nest every once in a while for the Ghost Butterfly to refine and replenish its consumption. Under the effect of the Life Chain, he also got some benefits from it.

This time, Youdie did not use all of it for herself. She was still thinking about the burning power of the talent tree, so she deliberately left a part of it.

According to the agreement between her and Lu Ye, these four hundred bones would allow her to enjoy the burning for five breaths of time.

The time is not long, but Youdie is not in a hurry. She doesn't know how many years she has lived, and there are still endless years in the future. Naturally, there is no need to achieve everything at once. It is more interesting to slowly build up a tower by accumulating small things.

Taking a leaf of Wudao Tea and putting it into his mouth, Lu Ye began to polish his Dao bones.

The leaves of the Enlightenment Tea can help people practice and significantly improve their efficiency, but for Lu Ye, its greatest use is to reduce the consumption of Taoist power when polishing Taoist bones.

For ordinary Taoists, this reduction may not have much effect, but for him, it is very significant, because the Taoist power he needs to consume to polish his Taoist bones is too much.

A year later.

In the insect sac where Lu Ye lived, he closed his eyes and concentrated. As the Taoist power on the leaves of the Talent Tree continued to be consumed, another piece of Taoist bone began to emit golden light and was successfully polished.

During this year, his strength has changed dramatically.

Now, the Taoist bones in his body are shining brightly, and the Taoist forces he can control have reached a total of one hundred and sixty, an increase from one hundred and twenty a year ago to the current level, a full increase of forty Taoism forces.

However, Youdie could not detect this kind of improvement at all. In her cognition, Lu Ye was still the same Hundred Dao cultivator.

Perhaps she could sense that Lu Ye's strength had improved, but she would never have thought that the improvement was so terrifying.

One hundred and sixty forces, according to Lu Ye's own estimation, are already equivalent to the eighth or ninth level of Rong Dao's strength. Of course, this is on the premise that the other party does not use Dao soldiers.

If Taoist soldiers were used, even a Taoist of the seventh level would be able to display such strength.

Those powerful Dao-fusion masters, after reaching their own bottleneck in cultivation, will devote their energy to nurturing Dao soldiers. In this way, even if their cultivation cannot be improved, their strength can be improved, and this improvement is brought by Dao soldiers.

In fact, Lu Ye also considered whether he should start nurturing Taoist soldiers.

When his strength reached this level, every increase in his power consumed enormous amounts of energy. Now, for every increase in his power, he consumed as much as eight or nine thousand of it.

Compared to improving oneself, the improvement brought by nurturing Taoist soldiers is undoubtedly greater if the same amount of Taoist power is spent.

But after trying it, he finally gave up.

Because his Taoist power is not condensed enough, it is not suitable for nurturing Taoist soldiers.

I finally understood why only those who have mastered the Dao have their own Dao soldiers. This has a lot to do with the nature of Dao power.

During this year, the number of ants that Lu Ye traded with the War Alliance, not counting the one he initially gave to the Yan family, reached as many as six.

The efficiency was still very high at the beginning, because the locations pointed out by Lu Ye were all within the territory of the Human War Alliance. The major families only needed to send some people to find the ants according to Lu Ye's instructions.

The last two ants are scattered in the territory of the giants, so it is not easy to find them. Even though the human race and the giants are allies, they still have to act stealthily when going to someone else's territory to look for ants.

The transaction of six ants cost more than ten thousand Dao bones.

Coupled with the income he received from Youdie, and the results that Lu Ye got when Youdie was practicing, this allowed him to achieve such tremendous growth.

After the first experience, Youdie now feels much more at ease with Lu Ye. Every time Lu Ye enters the ruins, he will return shortly afterwards.

She also asked Lu Ye what he was doing in the ruins. Of course, Lu Ye would not tell the truth. He always made up some excuses, and Youdie could do nothing about him.

As long as Lu Ye doesn't run away, everything can be discussed.

She didn't want to compete with Lu Ye in a battle of wits and courage anymore, and she even had to hurt herself to force Lu Ye back.

During this year, Lu Ye improved more than just his strength.

His attainments in the art of refining instruments are no longer what they used to be, especially in the method of refining Taoist instruments.

Jiuying is not easy to deal with. Every time he teaches Lu Ye these things, he is very secretive.

Lu Ye couldn't force it too much, so he could only deal with it patiently. If Jiuying really wanted to teach him, how could it have taken him a whole year?

As of today, Lu Ye can no longer dig out more information about refining from Jiuying. Of course, he knows that Jiuying has not taught him everything he knows, but it has come to this point. Unless he breaks off relations with it, there is no way he can get more.

Lu Ye realized that the time was almost right.

The communication between him and Jiuying was not only about the method of refining weapons, but also about another thing, which could be said to be a plan. He had been perfecting this plan. The stability of this year was only for the arrival of that moment!

"Youdie!" Lu Ye restrained the gleam in his eyes and spoke slowly.

"I'm here, Brother Ye." Youdie replied immediately.

She was very satisfied with Lu Ye's performance this year, coupled with the benefits brought to her by the innate power of the tree of burning, so her attitude towards Lu Ye became closer than before.

"Do you want to leave Banlan?"

Lu Ye's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to Youdie's ears. She didn't even react for a moment: "What did you say?"

These words sounded familiar. When she forced Lu Ye to return and trapped him in the illusion, Lu Ye asked her the same question.

Lu Ye smiled faintly: "Aren't you always curious about why I always go to the ruins?"

Youdie's voice trembled: "Are you looking for a way to leave the ruins?"

Lu Ye remained silent. He couldn't answer this question because Youdie could tell whether he was lying or not.

He said nothing, but Youdie was excited.

More than a year ago, Youdie realized that Lu Ye knew a way to leave Banlan, but it was not good to force her too much on such a matter, and she never mentioned it in these days.

Until today, Lu Ye took the initiative to bring it up.

This made Youdie think of many things.
