Chapter 1975: Anesthesia!
Zhou Yu stared intently at the Fire-eyed Flying Ants trapped afar by the formation, his eyes gleaming.
He finally understood why the cultivator with the surname Niu had come here.
It seems he had received information through some channel that there was a Fire-Eyed Ant King deep in the desert.
He came to subdue the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
And he had made ample preparations.
It just happened to be convenient for Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu had already learned from the Jade Talisman how to subdue the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
At this moment, he acted without hesitation.
Actually, the method to subdue the Fire-Eyed Ant King mainly consists of two steps.
The first step is to set up this Killing Array to annihilate these Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
The second step is to find a corpse with vigorous Blood Qi and feed it a Spiritual Medicine named ’Sea Flower Drunk’.
This ’Sea Flower Drunk’ has a fatal paralyzing effect on the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Once the Fire-Eyed Ant King devours the blood corpse carrying ’Sea Flower Drunk’, the medicine will take effect.
By then, the Fire-Eyed Ant King will be numbed by the medicine of ’Sea Flower Drunk’.
Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Force of the Primordial Spirit can be implanted to subdue it.
And ’Sea Flower Drunk’ is ready, inside the Storage Ring of the cultivator with the surname Niu.
Apart from this ’Sea Flower Drunk’, the ring also contains more than three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones and some other Healing Pills.
Of course, Zhou Yu has no interest in those other things right now.
He directly took out the ’Sea Flower Drunk’ and fed it into the mouth of the cultivator with the surname Niu.
Then he reached out his hand to squeeze the throat of the cultivator, allowing the Pill Medicine to smoothly enter his body.
After doing all this, Zhou Yu looked toward the distance.
It’s time to activate the formation.
Immediately, Zhou Yu arrived at the Array Eye, took out a hundred Spirit Stones, and placed them in the Array Eye in sequence.
In the next moment, the originally calm ground suddenly exploded with beams of dark blue light.
This sudden change instantly startled the pile of Fire-eyed Flying Ants nearby.
In an instant, the swarm of Fire-eyed Flying Ants gathered into a fiery torrent, soaring into the sky, rushing toward the dark blue light.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu coldly laughed, he began to manipulate the formation using the Spiritual Power within the Spirit Stones.
Under Zhou Yu’s control, the dark blue light instantly transformed into sharp arrows, aiming at the swarm of Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
In an instant, the sky was filled with explosive sounds, mixed with the shrill cries of the Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
The Killing Array prepared by the cultivator with the surname Niu, though Zhou Yu did not know its name, its power was certainly astonishing.
Under the erupting arrow-like rays of the Killing Array, the swarm of Flaming Flying Ants was sliced into pieces.
Witnessing this scene, Zhou Yu knew.
This swarm of Fire-eyed Flying Ants could not escape the Killing Array, they would soon be completely annihilated.
At this moment, Zhou Yu concentrated his Heart Spirit on the place where the Fire-eyed Flying Ants had gathered before.
As expected, underneath, there should be a Fire-Eyed Ant King.
By now, most of the Fire-eyed Flying Ants had all taken flight, with only a few scattered ones left on the ground.
And in the midst of these few Fire-eyed Flying Ants, emerged a giant red sphere.
The red sphere was continually expanding and contracting.
Through the red sphere, Zhou Yu could see a fiery red silhouette inside.
The silhouette was twice as big compared to ordinary Flaming Flying Ants.
A gleam of light flashed through Zhou Yu’s pupils.
No surprise, within that red sphere was the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Zhou Yu recalled the record about the Fire-Eyed Ant King from the Jade Talisman.
The Fire-Eyed Ant King would mostly enclose itself in a special secretion.
This situation indicates it is reproducing.
If it senses any danger, it will forcibly stop reproducing, and even if caught and tamed, it will permanently lose its ability to reproduce.
In that case, taming this insect would be meaningless.
Thus, the only way is to use other methods to make it leave the special secretion on its own.
One method is to attract it with a blood corpse rich in Blood Qi.
The higher the cultivation, the stronger the Blood Qi, and the greater the attraction to the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
The cultivator with the surname Niu’s corpse might have average Blood Qi, but his cultivation is not low, having reached the Golden Core Stage.
This should be highly attractive to the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
So Zhou Yu controlled the formation to move the cultivator’s corpse within the formation, placing it about a hundred meters from the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Then Zhou Yu began to observe calmly.
A moment later, the red sphere suddenly started to tremble.
Soon, the red sphere gradually began to shrink.
It wasn’t long before a massive figure emerged.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s heart surged with heat.
This is the Fire-Eyed Ant King!
The Fire-Eyed Ant King’s shape is very similar to the Fire-eyed Flying Ant.
The only difference lies in its pupils, which showed a hint of crimson-gold.
Never underestimate these crimson-gold pupils.
According to the Jade Talisman records.
The reason the Fire-Eyed Ant King can become an Ant King is due to this crimson-gold.
If properly nurtured, the Fire-Eyed Ant King will continue to evolve, and the crimson-gold will spread.
If the crimson-gold spreads from its pupils to its entire body, then the Fire-Eyed Ant King will undergo another evolution.
At that time, the Fire-Eyed Ant King will evolve into the Sky-devouring Ant.
The Sky-devouring Ant ranks within the top five on the Insect King List.
According to the Jade Talisman records, the Sky-devouring Ants can devour almost anything; its body is impervious to water and fire, resistant to weapons, and nearly immortal.
If it truly becomes this, with enough numbers, even cultivators in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage or Mahayana Realm could be devoured by the Sky-devouring Ants.
Of course, raising it to such a stage is nearly impossible.
Zhou Yu was merely entertaining a thought.
Currently, his only hope is to successfully subdue the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Under Zhou Yu’s anxious gaze, the Fire-Eyed Ant King indeed flew toward the corpse of the cultivator with the surname Niu.
However, the Fire-Eyed Ant King unexpectedly approached with caution.
It didn’t directly devour the cultivator’s corpse but circled around it, seemingly probing for danger.
Watching this scene, Zhou Yu started to murmur.
He had memorized the Jade Talisman’s records on the Fire-Eyed Ant King, and it didn’t mention the Ant King having high Spiritual Wisdom.
Judging by the current situation, could it have detected something off with the corpse?
Just as Zhou Yu secretly speculated, the Fire-Eyed Ant King finally couldn’t hold back.
It lunged forward, landing on the cultivator’s corpse, and started devouring voraciously.
The cultivator’s corpse, along with the ’Sea Flower Drunk’, was swiftly consumed entirely.
Witnessing this scene, Zhou Yu’s heart burned with excitement.
Soon, without a doubt, the Fire-Eyed Ant King would be anesthetized.
Zhou Yu silently counted the time in his heart.
Five!
Four!
Three!
...
As Zhou Yu began the countdown.
The Fire-Eyed Ant King’s hovering body suddenly began to sway.
A moment later.
Thud!
With a muffled sound, the Fire-Eyed Ant King plunged to the ground...
