Universal System: Return of the Prodigal

Chapter 299

Chapter 420

These black pepper ants are missed when they go out to look for food.

As the nest was consumed by fire.

They can only stay in the dark river.

At this time, I saw Zhang Kang and others coming out of their lair.

It would be strange not to regard it as an enemy.

Ouyang Qianqian didn't wait for Zhang Kang and others to make a move.

He was the first one to stand up and rush towards the black pepper ant.

After visiting the nest, I am no longer afraid of these poisonous and fierce ants.

The rest is bloody fighting spirit.

When it flies away.

The little hand was raised lightly, and a white mist filled the air in an instant.

"Hey hey hey!"

In the blink of an eye, this scattered group of black pepper ants were frozen into ice sculptures.

Ouyang Qianqian was about to shatter it.

Zhang Kang's voice came in real time.

"Don't kill them."

Ouyang Qianqian looked back at Zhang Kang in surprise.

"why?"

"If you don't solve it, it won't be long before this place will be occupied by them again."

Zhang Kang explained with a smile: "Their base camp has been burned, and these scattered black pepper ants can't make big waves."

"Besides, the queen ant with the strongest reproductive ability has been burned to death, so it is not a concern."

Ouyang Qianqian is still puzzled: "Could it be that only queen ants have the ability to reproduce?"

Zhang Kang nodded: "Yes, those ant eggs are all produced by the queen, and the rest are not capable of production."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

After a pause, Zhang Kang continued: "Leave these non-reproductive black pepper ants, and you can practice them for everyone."

"Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Everyone immediately admired and agreed with Zhang Kang's idea.

Although everyone's strength is increasing rapidly.

But no decent experience.

But with these black pepper ants, it will be different.

Although it can't improve the combat power much, it can at least increase the experience and experience.

In this way, when a person faces it in the future, he will not be at a loss.

Ouyang Qianqian: "Okay, then keep them."

"However, they shouldn't be frozen to death, right?"

Zhang Kang shook his head: "It won't be that fragile. Black pepper ants are extremely tenacious. After thawing, they will still be alive and kicking."

"Well, then which direction should we go?"

Ouyang Qianqian nodded obediently, looked at the colorful underground river, and said blankly.

Zhang Kang immediately pointed to the right side and said, "Go straight from here, and you will reach the spiritual spring."

As he said that, he took the lead in striding forward towards the right hand direction.

Ouyang Qianqian followed closely and walked side by side with Zhang Kang.

Yan Wujiu, Cheng Yong and others lagged behind slightly to catch up.

Go all the way up the underground river.

Everyone was attracted by the unknown glowing grass growing on the river bank.

Zhang Kang learned through consuming energy.

These grasses are actually the essential spiritual herbs for the alchemy of the Qi training pills taken by ancient warriors.

Its name is psychic grass.

Prior to this, the qi training pills taken by ancient warriors were not very effective.

The reason is the lack of psychic grass.

And so many suddenly popped up in this dark river.

It would be strange if Zhang Kang was not so shocked that he was dumbfounded.

Two months ago, Zhang Kang had not discovered it.

Now it is full of spiritual grass.

what does this mean?
The answer speaks for itself.

That is, the aura erupted from the aura spring is more pure and majestic.

And the surprises don't stop at the shore.

There are also aquatic animals such as fish and shrimp in the dark river.

Especially the arowana that swims around in shallow water.

It even surprised Zhang Kang and others to see it.

It is visually estimated that it is at least three meters long.

The whole body is covered with reddish yellow scales.

Wherever it passes, it devours small fish and shrimp in one bite.

Zhang Kang and others were shocked by this while continuing to move forward.

More and more types of spiritual herbs were discovered.

There are dozens of elixir herbs such as blood ganoderma lucidum, ghost grass, blue lily, and dark orchid.

These treasures have never been heard of before.

But they all appear on both sides of this dark river.

Despite the lack of light, it still grows luxuriantly.

It explains that as long as there is sufficient aura, any amazing animals and plants can grow in the tunnel of this dark river.

If it is not discovered by Zhang Kang.

This will become its own ecosystem.

Although Zhang Kang and the others were extremely pleasantly surprised, they did not start picking.

Because the spirit grass has just formed and has not yet matured.

Picking at this time is definitely not worth the gain.

Firstly, the medicine is not very effective.

Second, it will definitely destroy the newly formed ecological environment.

The flora and fauna here are linked together.

Don't look at the fierce and greedy black pepper ants.

But they are the number one contributors to protecting the elixir and spirit grass.

Otherwise, it will definitely be devoured by the giant rat.

This is also the reason why no giant rats are seen here.

Because black pepper ants are their natural enemies.

Zhang Kang admired himself more and more.

Turn this place into his personal treasure trove.

It is simply a great initiative.

For all creatures in this dark river.

Zhang Kang decided not to completely hide the spiritual spring.

In this way, its ecology will be more complete and vibrant.

Then the elixir and herbs he needs for alchemy will be inexhaustible.

After visiting like this, Zhang Kang and others quickly found the spring.

Looking at the deep pool shrouded in white mist in front of him.

Zhang Kang, Yan Wujiu, and Ouyang Qianqian couldn't help thinking of Qinglongtan.

The scene there was very similar to the current situation.

However, there is a little difference.

That is, although it is shrouded in white mist, it does not feel cold.

There was no sense of danger either.

Cheng Yong and others didn't see the reason, and they all looked around with surprised expressions.

Finally, they focused their attention on Zhang Kang.

Cheng Yong: "Brother, there seems to be nothing unusual?"

Chu Yunxiao: "Yes, there is no movement at all."

Huo Feiying: "I feel a slight sweetness in the air."

Yan Wujiu: "It's better if there's no danger, so it's easy to develop."

Ouyang Qianqian: "Let's listen to what Brother Kang has to say."

Everyone looked at Zhang Kang expectantly.

"Just because you don't feel the danger doesn't mean there's no danger."

Hearing Zhang Kang's response, everyone looked around in shock.

But after careful perception, there is still no danger.

Yan Wujiu: "Old Kang, don't play charades, tell me quickly, what powerful guys are guarding here."

Cheng Yong: "Yes, no matter how powerful something is, it must be eradicated, otherwise we will not be able to develop and utilize it."

Zhang Kang nodded: "It's a big toad."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Yan Wujiu and others all laughed heartily.

"Hahaha……"

"It's just a big toad, so it's nothing to worry about."

"Yes, yes, we can easily kill it."

"Brother, how about you give me the God of War?"

Zhang Kang stared coldly at the brothers with relaxed expressions.

Especially Huo Feiying, the god of war with a strong will to fight.

"Okay, then you go."

Seeing Zhang Kang's expression and hearing his words.

Huo Feiying's heart suddenly pounded.

"Brother, where is the toad?"

Zhang Kang smiled wryly and said, "You didn't even see the shadow of the toad, so you dare to kill it easily?"

"You are all born in the special forces, but you don't know yourself, you know your enemy, you are invincible in a hundred battles, and you are convinced."

Cheng Yong and the others suddenly felt that they were a bit meng lang.

They scratched the back of their heads involuntarily.

Yan Wujiu: "Old Kang, isn't this toad in the deep pool?"

Zhang Kang nodded: "This is not the toad we saw, but a ghost toad that is bigger than the house."

Ouyang Qianqian's face changed slightly: "It's so big? Why is it called a ghost toad?"

Yan Wujiu and the others were also taken aback by what Zhang Kang said.

Each of them no longer had a relaxed expression, and was replaced by solemnity and fear.
