Lord of Hyranza

An extremely cold voice came into Suldak's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

Chapter 1321 Soul Contract

The cold and disgusting aura of destruction completely quieted down, and the ghostly ant queen who was lying on the ground dying was also completely lying on the blood-stained grass, only the sides of her ribs were slightly undulating, as if she was breathing slowly.

A tree vine hangs from the top of Suldak's head, and there is actually a piece of tattered bark wrapped around it. There is no writing on this bark, only a faint breath of life. You can feel the bark with just a glance. How extraordinary, the whole bark is full of magic.

The bark scroll fell into Suldak's hands.

Suldak unfolded the bark scroll again, and then looked at the bark, and found that there were no texts of any kind inside, only some simple patterns like ancient murals. These patterns described this story, that is A stick figure of an ant kneeling in front of a tree and a human, the background of the scroll pattern looks like a dragon...

The ghost-striped red ants in the surrounding battlefield had completely stopped, and the red dragon Iser probably had no appetite for those ghost-striped drones, so he returned with some reluctance, and set off a gust of wind when he landed beside Suldak. .

Then Suldak introduced such a soul contract to Iser. In the end, the Ghost Ant Queen almost pressed her forehead against the scroll, leaving behind a bright red blood contract.

The ghost ant queen just lay flat, in front of the World Tree and Iser, posing as if she was being slaughtered.

"So, my dinner is gone?" The red dragon Iser looked at Suldak with a resentful face, and two flames spewed out from his nostrils from time to time.

There was a huge bulge in its abdomen, and it seemed that it had eaten a lot.

Suldak walked up to Iser's side, reached out and gently touched the dragon scale on the lower part of its neck that was closest to the ground, then turned to Iser's lowered head, and said:

"Obviously... keeping it is more useful!"

"But I also know that you put in a lot of effort to catch it, Iser, and I will make it up to you." Standing beside the red dragon Iser, Suldak shouted at it.

The red dragon looked at his body that was constantly lightening, and those dragon scales began to appear blurred, so he didn't say any more complaints, and directly said to Suldak in dragon language:

"You know, I don't have much time to stay here. Next time there is such a high-level prey, remember to call me in time... and next time I will definitely not be as talkative as this time, when the time comes I would devour them without hesitation."

Saying that, Iser opened his huge mouth again facing the dying body of the Ghost Ant Queen.

"I know, I will visit you again in the secret room in a few days, and I promise to prepare a big meal for you!" Suldak comforted Iser.

After Suldak promised to bring it some delicious food, Iser flapped his dragon wings twice happily, flew into the light door again, and disappeared together with the light door.

After the red dragon Iser left the Bailin plane, the huge burden in Suldak's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness was slightly relieved.

However, when he felt some sticky liquid coming out of his mouth and nose, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, only to find that a lot of blood gushed out from his mouth and nose, and it was accompanied by this intense dizziness...

……

The Queen Ant signed a soul contract with World Tree.

According to World Tree, the sign of the contract scroll by the Queen Ant represents that the entire ant tribe will become slaves of World Tree and Suldak forever, and there is also a mark of a sticky leaf on the forehead of the Ghost Queen Ant .

It's just that it was lying in a pool of blood on the grass, looking as if it might die at any time, and I don't know if it was deliberately pretending to be weak to show him, or if it was really hurt like that, no matter what, it was It is the tragic gesture of a loser.

Even those ghost-striped red ants stopped completely, waiting for the ruling of Suldak and World Tree.

Suldak found that the number of red ants in the entire ant clan is still extremely large. Nearly [-]% of the entire red ant empire is composed of ghost-striped worker ants, and the army of the red ant empire is still appearing on the ground. Most of the ghost pattern worker ants are still hiding deep in the ant nest.

The total number of ghost-striped red ants is still a million.

Next, Suldak ordered Samira to notify the lord army over the cave to suspend the hunt for the ant tribe. Now these red ants are more like the ones he raised in the worm valley to Suldak. A group of cattle and sheep, even if they are slaughtered, there is no need to rush for a while...

Afterwards, Carrie Decker and Gullitum carried back from the battlefield the almost fragmented bodies of Andrew and Wolf Knight Tiger.

From Suldak's point of view, the bodies of both of them are almost completely cold, but the blood in their bodies has not been completely coagulated, and there is no breathing or heartbeat. A huge blood hole was pulled out, and the broken spine made his body look extremely broken.

Suldak's holy light technique couldn't save them. Thinking of how Andrew had been following him with all his heart in the past few years, Suldak saw him lying on the grass with blood on his face, so he sat on Andrew's buttocks. Beside him, he took out a white silk handkerchief and wiped his blood-stained face.

The Frostwolf Bonita at the side also crawled beside the wolf knight Tago, licking Tago's cheek with its long tongue, and let out a low whimper.

Suldak thought that he would pay some price for killing the ghost ant queen this time, but these prices made him a little unacceptable.

At this time, he suddenly had the desire to rush over, cut off the ghost pattern ant queen lying in a pool of blood with a sword, and then completely peeled off its dark golden devil skin. Those complete life magic patterns on its body made Su Erdak salivated.

Just when Suldak regretted not being able to kill the enemies for Andrew and Tago with his own hands, a tree vine hung down in front of Suldak again. Erdak's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, which is also the only means of connection between World Tree and Surdak.

"Don't worry about maintaining it, my friend, I have a way to help you recover these two companions, but before that, I need to ask you, are you willing to use such a precious opportunity on your two companions? ?” World Tree asked Suldak in the sea of ​​spiritual knowledge.

"Of course I would..." Suldak replied without thinking.

"Well, Lord Suldak, you must remember that with my current ability, I can only help you once a year with this kind of treatment. These two times are because I promised to give you some compensation." The World Tree chattered and poured some thoughts into Suldak's mind, and at the same time condensed a drop full of life at the end of the tree vine.

One of the drops fell on Andrew's face, and the other fell on the empty chest of Wolf Knight Tiger.

……

After the introduction of World Tree, Suldak finally understood...

The reason why the World Tree signed a slave contract with the Ghost Ant Queen is entirely because the Ghost Pattern Red Ant is the main force to clean up the giant mushrooms in the Dark Insect Valley, so the World Tree cannot completely wipe out the ant clan in the Dark Insect Valley.

Giant mushrooms grow attached to the world tree, and the spores in the rotting trees are everywhere, which can never be cleaned up.

As long as there is rotten wood, there will be spore mushrooms. Because the mushrooms that grew on the old world tree were full of nutrients, they naturally formed giant mushrooms. These giant mushrooms can also be regarded as one of the biological chains that decompose rotten wood.

Too many spores and giant mushrooms will accelerate the decay of the tree.

Back then, the ghost pattern red ants were also the guardian beasts of the older generation World Tree.

It's a pity that after the ghost-striped ant queen acquired rudimentary wisdom and selfish thoughts, the old world tree was bitten and corrupted by the ghost-striped red ants and giant mushrooms, and finally fell down...

After obtaining the life essence of the World Tree, the Ghost Ant Clan abandoned the World Tree, and did not endow the World Tree seedlings with the most precious drop of the source of life, but sealed it in the stomach of the Ghost Queen Ant and prepared to digest it alone.

It's a pity that for thousands of years, the Ghost Empress Ant Queen has not been able to digest this source of life...

On the contrary, for thousands of years, the entire ant clan has been slowly degenerating.

And the giant mushroom spores have been extremely prosperous during the nearly thousand years when the world tree fell.

But when the nutrients in the roots of the World Tree were exhausted, the huge roots turned into rocky valleys, and the giant mushroom spores in the valleys absorbed enough nutrients and slowly shrank.

In the end, the giant mushroom forest can only cover the entire valley. Even so, the mushroom forest has become more and more petrified in recent years, and there are fewer and fewer new mushrooms.

Today's giant mushrooms can no longer provide enough food for the red ants, so the red ants try to hunt outside the valley...

This food chain slowly shrank, and it became what it is today.

Chapter 1322 The fried egg in front of me

Andrew was soaked in a huge oak barrel, which was filled with blue sap. Although he was unconscious, his damaged body was healing rapidly.

Wolf knight Tago was in another wooden barrel beside him, and Frostwolf Bonita was lying beside him, guarding Tago every step of the way. Tago's wound was relatively large, and his recovery was relatively slow, but at this moment he was Those who are awake can even see the huge wound on the chest with their eyes.

Seeing Suldak and his group walk into the cave, Tago, who was soaked in the tree sap, blinked at Suldak, barely pulling the muscles on his face.

Suldak walked over and saw that Tiger's hands and feet soaked in the tree sap could still move slightly, so he smiled at him and said, "You and Andrew can survive this time, thanks to World Tree, if It’s not that it is willing to give you two drops of diluted life essence, maybe you have already stepped across the plain of oblivion and ran to Earl Fornak.”

Hearing what Suldak said, the wolf knight Tiger obviously struggled a bit. Although he couldn't speak yet, he wanted to reach out and gesture to show Suldak that the orcs would not enter the world of the undead after death, but go to the beasts. The holy mountain where God resides.

Seeing his agitated expression, Suldak quickly comforted him, "Okay, let's talk about it after you recover from your injury. Your task now is to heal your injury."

"I heard that this life essence can allow you to gain the favor of the spirit of the earth. In the future, when you fight, as long as your feet don't leave the ground, you will be able to gain great resilience." Suldak stood by the oak barrel, Continue talking to Wolf Knight Tiger.

"Elder Baijide is waiting for us at the intersection!" Carrie Decker came in from the cave and said to Suldak.

"Let's go!" Surdak turned around and ordered the group of people behind him.

After speaking, he walked out of the cave.

This was originally the place where the ghost-striped red ants lived. All the caves were built and designed to facilitate the crawling of the six-legged ghost-striped red ants, but it is not so easy for humans to walk. In some places, the height of the wormholes varies by dozens. meters, all extending straight down.

These people who entered the depths of the ant nest were rank two experts, and almost everyone rode a ghost pattern soldier ant. Although the journey was a bit bumpy, and even the soldier ants would crawl on the vertical cave walls, there was still a lot of trouble along the way. It went well.

……

Teams of ghost-striped worker ants entered the underground cave...

This time, Suldak also wanted to follow the ghost ant queen into the deepest hatching room of the ant nest.

Because the dying half of the queen's body still needs to be combined with the hatching room there, Suldak and the druid Elder Baijid completed the final seal on the ghost-print queen there.

It wasn't until the ghost-striped red ants were completely defeated that Suldak realized that the lineup of the guards around the ghost-striped queen was quite luxurious.

In addition to thousands of giant ghost-striped soldier ants whose bodies are already turning purple, there are nearly five hundred ghost-striped male ants, and there are also evolved ghost-striped flying ants. Unfortunately, in the last battle In the middle of the story, the Ghost Ant Queen has been led by the nose by Suldak and the World Tree. This powerful personal guard army has not exerted its due combat power at all.

Today, a large number of ghost-striped red ants have become slaves jointly owned by World Tree and Suldak. In order to maintain the original ecological balance in the Dark Worm Valley, as long as half of the ghost-striped red ants will be executed, it is obviously better to manage than those Ghost pattern worker ants, this guard army will be the red ant army that needs to be reduced first.

This time Suldak walked into the nest of the ghost-striped red ants, the first purpose was to send the ghost-striped ant queen back to the hatching room at the deepest part of the wormhole, and the other purpose was to check the real situation inside the wormhole, at least Let's check the potential power of the ghost-striped red ants.

World Tree reached a soul contract with the ghost-striped ant queen, and the ghost-striped red ant became the enslaved party. It can be said that the rights of life and death are completely controlled by World Tree and Suldak.

The World Tree and Suldak formed an alliance, and 30 local aborigines in the southern tribes will migrate to settle in the Dark Worm Valley, so these ghost-striped red ants will be further cleaned up.

The Dark Worm Valley will become the new home of the tribe's aborigines, and the northern occupied area of ​​the Bailin Plane is now in the hands of the Grimm Empire, and the Dark Worm Valley will soon be included in the empire's territory. Covenant, Suldak needs to include this area into his territory.

At the same time, the aborigines in the dark worm valley should be given maximum freedom. They are the children of nature who believe in the world tree...

The dying ghost-striped ant queen was always within Gulitum's line of sight. Every time the two-headed ogre saw the broken body of the ghost-striped ant queen, it couldn't help drooling.

Suldak felt that the two-headed ogre Gulitum at this moment should feel the same as the red dragon Iser who bit the ghost ant queen for the first time. They both saw the fat in their mouths. Side, but can not eat the kind of depression in the stomach.

This is simply too cruel for foodies.

Moreover, except for the bloody arms on the upper body of this ant queen, all the outriggers of the other parts of the body are gone, and it is caught by the teeth of a ghost pattern soldier ant, which is completely fresh meat on a cutting board.

"Dark, I think if I can eat this ant queen, my strength can be improved a lot." Gulitum followed behind Suldak and thought.

"Give up this idea, a living ant queen is more useful than a dead one." Suldak said without turning his head.

The inside of the crypt is very dark, and everyone has lanterns hanging around their waists. However, facing the deep burrow, the fear felt in the claustrophobic space makes people very nervous, especially in the cave. With a sloppy voice, as long as you take a look at the other forks, you can see groups of ghost-striped worker ants everywhere.

However, the inside of the ant hole is not stuffy, and the passages for these ghost-striped soldiers are the widest, so wide that the ghost-striped drones can pass through here unimpeded.

Although the two-headed ogre Gulitum was unwilling, he could only mutter in a low voice.

These ghost-striped soldier ants are extremely obedient. After the ghost-striped queen became a slave, the entire ant tribe seemed to have not changed much at all, but they no longer treated Suldak and the druid elders like they used to. hostility.

The team has been walking a long way inside, just as the member of the adventure group described, this crypt is like a huge underground palace.

After entering this well-connected crypt, if you want not to get lost, you must carefully mark each fork in the road.

The team went far down, and finally saw the kind of huge fraternal room whose walls were covered with eggs waiting to hatch.

Each of those white fraternal eggs is about one meter in length and half a meter in diameter. The whole body is orange-red, and the egg shell has mottled and irregular gray patterns.

When everyone passed by such an egg storage room, Gulitum looked at the fraternal eggs, his eyes lit up again, as if a plate of fried eggs was placed in front of him...

Chapter 1323 Incubation Room

A group of people rode ghost pattern soldier ants into the depths of the cave, and they encountered more and more caves storing fraternal eggs, and some ghost pattern worker ants were taking care of these fraternal eggs in the caves.

Suldak found that even these fraternal eggs also have this sequence level. The scattered crypts around them are all small and light-colored fraternal eggs without many patterns. When they are in some large crypts deep in the crypt, they are placed It is full of fraternal eggs as tall as adults, and the lines on these fraternal eggs become extremely regular. Surdak can clearly see the shadows of red ants curled up on some fraternal eggs that are about to hatch. The outriggers together look a little tingling.

Suldak could even tell that it was a ghost-striped soldier ant. He didn't expect these soldier ants to be much bigger than adult ghost-striped worker ants from the moment they were born.

Although the burrow here is not stuffy, the sour and rancid smell inside the ant nest has become very strong.

The team still did not stop, and continued to walk inward along the wide cave. Many large cave walls were basically remodeled by ghost-striped red ants in the later stage. It is much smoother. In order to increase the utilization rate of space, many fraternal eggs are hung on the roof of the cave.

In this dark crypt, some whitish umbrella-shaped mushrooms can also be seen, which have a translucent color.

When Elder Druid Bai Jide saw this kind of mushroom, he was so excited that he jumped off the back of the soldier ant. After falling several times in the cave, he finally climbed to the place where the white mushroom grew. There were actually two ghost pattern soldier ants guarding Mushroom's place, but they were forced to take a few steps back only when they saw Elder Bai Jide walking past.

It's just that the pair of heads that looked like they were wearing red eyepatch were still staring at Elder Bai Jide, and the fangs protruding from his mouth kept opening and closing.

However, this tribal elder was not polite to the red ants. When Suldak rushed over, he actually picked the whole mushroom plant and rebuilt the rotten soil after picking the mushrooms, and smiled at Surdak. Duck said: "After a while, this kind of ghost mushroom will grow here again. This kind of mushroom is dried and ground into powder, which can be used to make invisibility potion. I haven't seen ghost mushroom for a long time!"

"Is this the ghost mushroom?" Suldak asked in surprise after taking the two mushrooms that were bigger than the washbasin handed over by Elder Bai Jide.

He had heard of the name Phantom Mushroom. When the lord army opened up the Three Rivers Plain, they had found some magic herbs. The caravans that specialize in buying magic herbs are usually more heroic, and the prices they offer are usually very beautiful. Suldak had seen the name of the ghost mushroom on a price list of magic herbs.

He was able to remember this name because it sounded very special, and it gave people a feeling: this must be a poisonous mushroom.

Elder Bai Jide wrapped his share of ghost mushrooms with a piece of linen, nodded and admitted: "There is nothing wrong with this. Although the environment in which this mushroom grows is relatively harsh, it is very easy to identify."

Suldak never expected that an elder from an indigenous tribe could not only speak the Imperial language fluently, but also be very knowledgeable.

"Elder Baijide, when did you learn the Imperial language? It's really good..."

Suldak took out a magic sealing box, put the ghost mushroom in it, and asked Elder Bai Jide at the same time.

"This kind of ghost mushroom is not easy to preserve. Since you have a magic sealing box, let me give you these too!"

Seeing that Suldak was carrying a magic sealing box, Elder Baijide decisively handed his pack of ghost mushrooms to Suldak, and then said: "As for my imperial language, I have learned it for a long time. In the tribe, it is not uncommon to know a few words of Grimm Empire..."

"Then store it with me first, and when we take these ghost mushrooms out, what are you going to do with them? Do you want to make medicinal powder?" Suldak put the magic sealing box into the storage space of the magic belt, and then Ask Elder Bai Jide.

Elder Bai Jide laughed, and said frankly:
