Chapter 1976: Subduing the Ant King!
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu was overjoyed.
However, he did not impulsively remove the formation and rush in.
According to the information collected by the cultivator with the surname Niu.
This Fire-Eyed Ant King was not so easily drugged by the pill medicine.
Sure enough, the Fire-Eyed Ant King that had fallen to the ground suddenly flew up again.
At the same time, its body turned bright red, like a heated branding iron, accompanied by a series of shrill cries.
Upon hearing the cries of the Fire-Eyed Ant King, the remaining Fire-eyed Flying Ants in the distance immediately gathered and surged forth.
They swarmed around the Flame Ant King and then charged outward.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu immediately manipulated the formation to attack these Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The corpses of the Fire-eyed Flying Ants fell from the sky in patches.
Witnessing this, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but secretly admire how precisely the cultivator with the surname Niu had set up the formation.
A little more would be wasteful, a little less might be broken through.
It’s hard to imagine how the cultivator with the surname Niu managed to obtain such detailed information.
Although Zhou Yu was amazed at heart, he did not show any mercy.
He fully controlled the formation to kill the Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
Luckily, the formation was powered by Spirit Stones, otherwise, in his current state, he would just have to stand by and watch.
Under Zhou Yu’s full control, within just over ten minutes, nearly all the Fire-eyed Flying Ants in the formation were killed.
The few remaining couldn’t stir up any trouble.
And the Fire-Eyed Ant King, surrounded in the middle, with a body as red as a branding iron, gradually dimmed.
A moment later.
Thud!
The body of the Fire-Eyed Ant King crashed to the ground once again.
This time, it lost all signs of movement.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry.
He patiently waited another ten minutes, and after confirming the Fire-Eyed Ant King was truly anesthetized, he controlled the formation to open a gap, and then he flashed in.
The few remaining Fire-eyed Flying Ants, upon seeing someone enter the formation.
They immediately reacted as if facing a sworn enemy, their eyes flashed red, and they pounced toward Zhou Yu.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu sneered.
He raised his hand and punched out.
In an instant, he killed these few Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
After completely clearing all the Fire-eyed Flying Ants, Zhou Yu approached the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Looking at the Fire-Eyed Ant King lying on the ground, Zhou Yu’s blood flow accelerated again.
This was ranked seventy-ninth on the Insect King List among the Ancient Strange Species.
Unexpectedly, it fell into his hands just like that.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, Zhou Yu discovered something even more exciting.
The Fire-Eyed Ant King before him was actually a larva.
After repetitive identification, Zhou Yu confirmed it.
What does this mean?
This means the bloodline of this Fire-Eyed Ant King is even more powerful than he imagined; otherwise, it couldn’t have become a king shortly after birth.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was extremely excited.
However, he took several deep breaths to calm down before starting the recognition ceremony.
The safest way to tame this creature is indeed through recognition.
Regarding the method of recognition, the jade talisman of the cultivator with the surname Niu has detailed records.
It’s not difficult—just implanting one’s primordial spirit mark into the Fire-Eyed Ant King’s body.
Once done, it can be considered as completing the recognition ceremony.
Of course, this recognition ceremony only works for the current realm of the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
If the Fire-Eyed Ant King ascends further in the future, the primordial spirit mark left by Zhou Yu will lose its effect.
However, as long as he can timely implant another primordial spirit mark, it will be fine.
Zhou Yu carefully recalled the method of implanting the primordial spirit mark, and then began the recognition ceremony.
About ten minutes later, Zhou Yu successfully completed the recognition ceremony.
As he implanted the primordial spirit mark into the Fire-Eyed Ant King’s body.
A strange feeling emerged.
It felt as if the Fire-Eyed Ant King in front of him had suddenly become part of his body.
He could easily control everything about the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Zhou Yu carefully savored this feeling, silently amazed in his heart.
At this moment, the Fire-Eyed Ant King suddenly moved slightly.
Zhou Yu’s eyes flashed, immediately looking at the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
The Fire-Eyed Ant King slowly opened its eyes.
Its scarlet eyes, after a brief period of confusion, suddenly regained their spirit, and then the Fire-Eyed Ant King flapped its wings, flew around Zhou Yu, and settled on Zhou Yu’s shoulder, constantly rubbing against his face, appearing very affectionate.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
Success.
He had successfully tamed this Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Naturally, this made Zhou Yu extremely excited.
But next, a headache-inducing issue for Zhou Yu also arose.
According to the records in the Insect King List, the Fire-Eyed Ant King likes to devour the flesh and blood of cultivators.
The more it devours, the faster its progression.
This put Zhou Yu in a dilemma.
He is not the type to kill indiscriminately, unleashing a massacre just for the progression of the Fire-Eyed Ant King.
Moreover, although the jade talisman doesn’t have detailed records, it mentions that the Fire-Eyed Ant King needs to devour thousands upon thousands of flesh to progress.
If Zhou Yu recklessly went out to kill without regard, it wouldn’t be long before he met his own demise.
This method is surely not feasible.
Fortunately, the jade talisman records another method.
It involves letting the Fire-Eyed Ant King devour a certain type of spiritual medicine, which can also stimulate its growth and progression.
This spiritual medicine is named ’Seven Demons Flower’!
The jade talisman only mentions the name, without detailing the characteristics of the medicine, thus Zhou Yu remains uncertain of the rank of this spiritual medicine or its value in Spirit Stones.
However, based on what he gathered while strolling in Black Sand City the other day, it must not be cheap.
He can only figure it out after his cultivation is fully restored.
Zhou Yu silently marveled at his heart and then flipped his palm, producing a silky bag in his hand.
This is no ordinary bag.
This item is called Beast Taming Bag.
It is a space treasure specifically for storing living beings.
Strictly speaking, other than the jade talisman, the most valuable item on the cultivator with the surname Niu is this Beast Taming Bag.
The cultivator with the surname Niu must have paid a high price for this item, intending to store the Fire-Eyed Ant King after taming it.
Of course, this now benefits Zhou Yu.
After implanting his primordial spirit mark into the Beast Taming Bag, Zhou Yu prompted, and the Fire-Eyed Ant King was stored within the Beast Taming Bag.
After completing all this, Zhou Yu checked again to ensure nothing was missed, then turned his gaze aside.
His gaze locked onto Que’er in the distance, who was pale with fright.
Now, it’s time to deal with this big trouble!
