Chapter 603: Thunder Tribulation of the Queen Ant (Please subscribe, please collect)
Of course, this complicated emotion did not have any impact on Sun Mingsheng's actions. After putting all the third-level spiritual materials into his bag and confirming that nothing was missing, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance, and continued to look for the next one. Go to the target.
The queen of black-striped ants who had been in the ant nest did not show any obvious signs after swallowing the demon elixir of the salamander. She once again arrogantly directed the ants under her to explore the surroundings.
Sun Mingsheng's first goal on this trip is naturally to find fire-attribute monsters, but once he encounters other third-level low-grade monsters, he will not let them go in vain.
In addition, the most delicious parts of each monster's corpse must be kept in the bag to be prepared in the future according to the description in the jade slip to find a family of spiritual cooks and then prepare it into a spiritual soup to improve one's own cultivation.
This dense forest located in the northern part of the Song Kingdom's cultivation world is full of dangers, but for a qualified Golden Core monk, it is not difficult to guarantee his own life as long as he does not venture into it.
Sun Mingsheng basically stayed in a relatively cautious state along the way. Although he inevitably encountered some powerful enemies who were slightly embarrassed along the way, he never suffered heavy losses or devastating blows.
The most dangerous thing is to break into the territory of a group of demon wolves. Under the leadership of one male, three females and four third-level low-level demon wolves, more than a hundred second-level demon wolves are constantly surrounding and biting from all sides. Quite cruel.
Sun Mingsheng was also assisted by a large number of third-level low-grade treasure talismans. After paying some price, he was lucky enough to break out of the siege and save his life.
Of course, his harvest was also quite rich. He killed five third-level low-grade monsters in different areas, picked 18 third-level low-grade elixirs of different years and types, and three pieces of third-order spiritual materials. Six various spiritual fruits.
The most precious among them is undoubtedly the five demon pills. This kind of special spiritual object that is widely used in the world of cultivation has always been unable to make ends meet, and shops in major cities are open to purchase it at high prices.
For golden elixir stage monks, compared to spiritual stones, these high-quality demon elixirs are the real hard currency.
It's a pity that all the demon pills obtained during this trip were used by Sun Mingsheng as the foundation for promotion and fed to the black-striped ant queen who was already in the second-level high-grade.
According to common sense, for most second-level monsters, depending on their own cultivation base and bloodline, two to three demon pills can officially promote them to the third level.
For some unknown reason, the black-striped ant queen actually swallowed six third-level low-grade monster golden elixirs, and then fell into a deep sleep, officially showing signs of being promoted to the third level.
There are generally three stages for the second-level spirit insect to advance to the third level. The first stage: after devouring enough power, it falls into a deep sleep and begins to realize the improvement of power; the second stage: once it wakes up, it will face the test of thunder tribulation, and the spirit insect The number of thunder tribulations for insects and spiritual beasts is also different.
The third stage: Only after surviving the thunder tribulation, you will be officially promoted to a third-level low-grade spiritual insect with the reward of participating in the thunder tribulation.
"The body of the black-striped ant queen is weak and not good at defense. She can only rely on a relatively large number of black-striped ants to form a defense layer. Once the ant colony dies under a thunderstorm, it also means the failure of the queen's promotion."
Sun Mingsheng kept recalling a few characteristics of the black-striped ant queen, with a worried look on his face.
Fortunately, during these days, he began to consciously cultivate the ant colony at all costs, especially the blood food of a large number of third-order monsters, which made the surviving black-striped ants even more powerful.
Although the rank of these black-striped ants has not been significantly improved, the size of each one has increased significantly, and each one looks more ferocious.
"I wonder how many thunder catastrophes this black-striped ant will encounter when it reaches the third level?"
"Although there is no fixed rule for the number of thunder tribulations when different monsters are promoted to the third level, it is ultimately inseparable from their future potential and bloodline."
According to Sun Mingsheng's guess, the third-level thunder tribulation of the black-striped ant queen is most likely to be the three smallest thunder tribulations.
Since the black-striped ant queen fell into a deep sleep, Sun Mingsheng began to walk to the outskirts of the dense forest, preparing to choose a suitable place for the queen to survive the disaster.
Thunder tribulations are produced by adhering to the principles of heaven and earth. Spirit insects, spirit beasts, and monster beasts can only rely on their own strength to overcome tribulations, and as masters, they cannot interfere in the slightest.
As for other monsters and spiritual insects, they will naturally not interfere in the process of the Thunder Tribulation test. Once the Thunder Tribulation is angered, they will be attacked by it and become victims of the Thunder Tribulation.
This is not alarmist, but a lesson learned by countless monks and monsters who have left their lives in the long history.
If there is really an irreducible conflict between the two parties, most of the time they will choose to hunt after the tribulation is over and their vitality is severely damaged.
The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night alternate, and cold and heat separate. When white snowflakes appear in the outside world and winter officially appears, the queen ant finally wakes up.
After refining all the demon elixirs in the body of the six third-level low-grade demon beasts, the size of the black-striped ant queen itself has been significantly improved compared to before, and at the same time, a layer of different colored lines began to appear on her back. The carapace provides a certain layer of defense.
It's just that in the world of cultivation, low-level spiritual beasts like black-striped ants usually linger within the first level. Those who successfully advance to the second level are quite rare. Third-level black-striped ants are even unheard of. Therefore, for third-level black-striped ants, There are naturally few descriptions of the striped ant queen. It is not clear whether this layer of carapace is originally there or whether it is a mutation.
However, for Sun Mingsheng, these small changes always bring benefits, and may soon become the last line of defense to survive the thunder catastrophe.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The black-striped ants had just woken up from their slumber. They were still in a state of adapting to their new strength, and layers of black clouds began to gather.
The originally clear sky turned into pitch black even under the cover of layers of black clouds and thunder. There was quite a feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. The oppression it brought was overwhelming from the inside out. Resistant.
Although Sun Mingsheng had been condensing the golden elixir for many years, this was the first time he felt the power of the Heavenly Tribulation up close, and he still felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart.
As the core of the Thunder Tribulation, the black-striped ant queen was trembling all over her body, as if she still hadn't woken up from the horror.
"How long will it take to wake up quickly?"
Sun Mingsheng used his spiritual consciousness to create a layer of coolness, and continued to caress the queen ant's position, trying to make her recover as soon as possible.
"Buzz buzz"
When the black-striped ant queen came back to her senses, she immediately controlled the huge ant colony to attach to her body one by one, forming a defensive layer. This was also a unique way for ant colonies to survive the thunderstorm. Heaven’s approval.
