NOVEL NEXT Chapter 58 An Unexpected Gain
"It seems this method works!"
Ten days later, at dusk, the last group of spirit-devouring ants, led by Yan Sanwu, finally returned to the top of the mountain where Ye Fan and the others were.
After careful inspection, Ye Fan found that after this period of consumption, there were still more than 4,200 soul-devouring ants left. The loss was considered medium and within the acceptable range.
Ten days ago, he sent more than 500,000 soul-eating ants out to hunt, and finally came back with about 430,000 ants.
Compared with the results achieved, this loss is really nothing.
But Ye Fan knew that if the army of spirit-devouring ants did not kill all the Demonic Beasts within a hundred miles, they would not come back.
So this round of hunting can be considered a great success!
Next, you have to continue to find the next suitable hunting location.
If you persist like this for a period of time, these million soul-devouring ants must not be far away from advancing to the next level.
In the next two months, Ye Fan led his army of spiritual insects to attack continuously, killing all the Demonic Beasts within a radius of thousands of miles.
The Demonic Beasts living nearby soon discovered this group of terrifying devourers. In panic, they jumped into the depths of the forest.
"It seems we have to move to a farther place next time!"
Ye Fan picked up a soul-eating ant that had just returned from hunting and carefully observed its condition.
After experiencing a series of fights, the Soul-Eating Ants have indeed become different.
There was a hint of evil energy faintly exuding from their bodies, and they already had a bit of the aura of advanced spiritual insects.
"Why hasn't a group of Soul-Eating Ants come back?"
A few days later, a group of spirit-devouring ants had not returned, which aroused Ye Fan's concern.
This group of spirit-eating ants was led by Ant Forty-Two. It was several days later than the last group of spirit-eating ants that had returned and had yet to be seen.
"Did they encounter the Rank Three Demonic Beast and the team was wiped out?"
Ye Fan murmured to himself with twinkling eyes, hesitant for a moment.
If Ant 42 and his team really encounter the Rank Three Demonic Beast, it would not be a good idea to look for them at this time.
If they also encounter the Rank Three Demonic Beast, they will be in trouble.
"Sir, it seems that there is still a group of spiritual insects that have not returned, right~々?"
Qu Jingyang and Tu Peng also noticed something unusual at this time and said to Ye Fan.
"Yeah, there's still one team that hasn't come back, so why don't we just forget about it and let them fend for themselves here.
Thousands of spirit-devouring ants would have little impact, so Fan didn't want to look for it.
"Could we have encountered the Rank Three Demonic Beast? How about we look for it?"
Tu Peng now has a mysterious confidence in Ye Fan's army of spiritual insects, and takes the initiative to propose a search.
"Then, let's hide in the spirit boat and search this area carefully to see if we can find it!"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Fan made a decision and took the three of them on a spiritual boat to start searching.
"Um?"
After searching for two days, Ye Fan sensed the weak spiritual thoughts of Ant 42 on the outside of an inconspicuous valley.
"what happened?"
This valley is surrounded by mountains and is a relatively hidden and difficult to find valley.
Ye Fan soon discovered that the forty-two ants had all burrowed into the ground in the valley. They seemed to have found some delicious food, and each one was munching on the unknown substance in the soil.
Several people searched carefully and found no danger in this valley, so they prepared to go down and check it out with curiosity.
"It's like an artifact refining mineral ore!"
Soon, Ye Fan and everyone carefully landed in the valley. They dug a few meters below the valley floor and found a kind of golden ore.
It is this kind of mineral sand that Ant Forty-Two and this group of spirit-devouring ants are eating.
"This should be golden soul sand!"
Jiang Yao suddenly spoke with an excited look on her face.
"Golden Soul Sand?"
Ye Fan, Qu Jingyang and Tu Peng didn't understand artifact refining, so they turned a blind eye to these spiritual materials and didn't understand them at all.
"Yes, Golden Soul Sand, this is a valuable artifact refining material that can be used to refine Spirit Weapon. One pound of purified Golden Soul Sand Liquid can be sold for two hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones.
Jiang Yao said excitedly: "I just checked, this valley is full of this kind of golden soul sand, the amount is extremely amazing, let's bring some back quickly, we can dig as much as we can."
"Are you sure this is golden soul sand?"
Ye Fan and the other three looked at each other and became excited. They did not expect such an unexpected gain during this trip.
"I'm sure this is the Golden Soul Sand."
Jiang Yao nodded affirmatively.
Then, she took out her flying sword, found a position and started digging without saying a word.
Ye Fan called back Ant Forty-Two and the others, and then he, Qu Jingyang, and Tu Peng also started digging immediately.
During this period, he was worried that someone was passing by and discovered something unusual here, so he took out the array flag of the "Five Elements Confused Sky Formation" and covered the entire valley.
In this way, even if someone passes by, unless they are Gold Core Late Stage or Nascent Soul monks, or monks who have practiced Divine Ability, ordinary people will not be able to detect anything abnormal here.
"`々Strange, there are so many golden soul sands here, why hasn't anyone discovered them?"
Inside the "Five Elements Mysterious Formation", Qu Jingyang said doubtfully while digging for ore.
"I think this valley is a relatively inaccessible place with few people visiting. In addition, most of the people who come here are the demon hunters from Tianshuang City, and their attention must be on the Demonic Beast. Who would look for trouble to dig down there?"
Tu Peng laughed.
"That's true. If the master's soul-eating ants hadn't discovered the ore under the soil, we wouldn't have discovered it even if we came here."
Qu Jingyang nodded, no longer thinking about it, and concentrated on looking for the ore of golden soul sand.
Three months later.
Qu Jingyang and Tu Peng stopped their hands one after another, looking at the completely filled storage bags in their hands with some regret.
In order to help Ye Fan do things, they all have several large storage bags with tens of thousands of cubic meters on hand.
But now, these storage bags are all full and can no longer hold any more ore.
(Zhao Dezhao) "Master's storage bag is not full yet? Let's all go help!"
"Uh-huh."
The three of them put away their storage bags, continued digging for ore, and then asked Ye Fan to collect it.
Another three months passed in the blink of an eye.
"How big is the master's storage bag? Is it a million cubic meters of storage bag?"
Qu Jingyang and the other three were speechless. A few of them sighed. Seeing that Ye Fan had no intention of stopping, they had no choice but to continue helping.
"It should be almost full now, right?"
A few people have been staying in this valley for a whole year and have almost dug out the ore in this valley.
If you want to continue digging later, you have to dig more than a hundred meters below the soil layer, which is much more difficult.
"Haha, just dig here!"
Ye Fan finally stopped and looked at the mountains of gold soul sand ore in the system space with satisfaction.
