Chapter 1177 1170: Fire Swamp Giant Ants
"Hmph, pretending to be mysterious."
Seeing Qin Yang completely ignore him, Teng Yingwu's face showed a hint of gloom. With a cold snort, he patted his Howling Moon Golden Wolf beneath him, and the wolf's speed surged.
Five minutes later, the group had already reached the center of this vast Red Swamp, having traveled such a great distance without encountering any unusual phenomena.
"This swamp is utterly unremarkable; there's nothing suspicious. Bringing those who are paranoid along is just a hindrance."
Teng Yingwu snorted coldly.
Hearing Teng Yingwu's words, the twin sisters and the elder with the surname Meng all cast a slightly different glance at Qin Yang.
Only the mysterious man hidden in the gray robe remained silent, though his gray-white eyes seemed to scrutinize the Red Swamp below.
Glug, glug~!!
Not long after Teng Yingwu finished speaking, that vast Red Swamp below suddenly started bubbling like it was boiling.
The soft, fertile ground began to swell like dough, forming gigantic bubbles one after another.
The entire massive swamp seemed to be heaving.
Seeing this scene, the light in Qin Yang's eyes, who had been watching the Red Swamp, grew sharp.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The heaving, massive Red Swamp suddenly formed huge red whirlpools one after another.
The fertile red soil didn't swirl rapidly, yet it produced an astonishing gravitational pull.
"Awooo..."
The Howling Moon Golden Wolf at the forefront let out a sudden howl of surprise, its massive body pulled by the tremendous force from one of the red whirlpools, descending toward the swamp below.
"What's happening?"
This sudden descent caused Teng Yingwu's face to change suddenly.
At this moment, the elder with the surname Meng, who was controlling the Cyan Wind Flying Boat, also showed a sudden change in expression. His flying boat shuddered, rapidly descending toward one of the red whirlpools.
The figure of Monk Huiguang, seated atop the Lotus Jade Throne, was also sinking downward.
"Roar!"
Among the group, only Qin Yang had forewarned the Fire Flame Lion, so as soon as it started to descend, demonic power surged around the Fire Flame Lion. Crimson flames flared on its four feet, holding it aloft in the void, resisting the pull of the whirlpool.
"Stop for me now."
Teng Yingwu's face darkened as he shouted at the Howling Moon Golden Wolf.
"Howl!"
Caught off guard, after dropping a short distance, the Howling Moon Golden Wolf, under Teng Yingwu's command, let out a wolfish howl. Gold light burst forth from its body, halting in mid-air, though its appearance was slightly disheveled.
"Stop for this old man."
The elder with the surname Meng's expression darkened as he continuously cast spells. On the Cyan Wind Flying Boat, runes of the wind element flashed, green light erupting, also halting the descent.
"Amitabha, Buddha's divine techniques, unmoving like a mountain!"
Monk Huiguang recited a Buddhist chant, white jade-like light bursting from his body, halting the descent immediately.
After this sudden change, everyone's gaze turned downward.
At this time, on the vast Red Swamp, the red earth rolled, and hundreds of bizarre large whirlpools appeared.
Each whirlpool contained a terrifying pulling force.
If an ordinary early stage Immortal Spirit Realm cultivator passed by, they might be dragged into one of the whirlpools and perish.
"Damn it! This swamp is truly strange!"
Teng Yingwu's face darkened as he cast a fierce glance in Qin Yang's direction, but Qin Yang, just like before, was staring down at the swamp, paying him no mind.
Glug! Glug!
Just as Teng Yingwu's shout fell, beside the whirlpools in that red swamp below, large red earth membranes began to emerge from the swamp.
At a glance, there were thousands of these large red earth membranes, outnumbering the whirlpools.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Upon seeing the eerie emergence of the red earth membranes, everyone's expressions changed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Almost simultaneously, each red earth membrane shattered, revealing what was inside.
Seeing what was inside, the expressions of everyone hovering above the swamp changed drastically, horror flashing in their eyes.
Below the earth membranes were giant ants with bodies that appeared red, adorned with bright red fiery patterns.
Each giant ant was larger than the average lion or leopard, with its foremost two legs raised, resembling the scythes of a mantis.
Now, above the Red Swamp, aside from those swirling whirlpools pulling with great force, countless giant ants broke free from the earth.
A glance over the swamp revealed it was filled with giant ants, numbering in the thousands, enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"It's the Fire Swamp Giant Ants! This is a colony of Fire Swamp Giant Ants!"
Seeing the Fire Swamp Giant Ants appearing above the swamp, Elder Meng exclaimed in horror.
In their view, most of the Fire Swamp Giant Ants were of the initial stage demonic general level, but there were a few larger ones that had reached middle and late stages.
"Are you all still not leaving?!"
Seeing everyone standing dumbfounded, Qin Yang immediately shouted coldly.
Boom!
As he spoke, Qin Yang gave a pat, and the demonic power of the Fire Flame Lion surged without reservation, resisting the pulling force of the whirlpools, dashing forward into the void.
Seeing Qin Yang shoot forward, the group quickly snapped out of it.
The Fire Swamp Giant Ants were extremely aggressive and carried fire poison. Forget about them, even if an Immortal Venerable Realm expert were surrounded by a horde of Fire Swamp Giant Ants, it would be difficult to escape.
"Wind Manipulation Technique, speed!"
At that moment, with a drastic change in expression, the slender elder with the surname Meng injected spell after spell into the Cyan Wind Flying Boat.
Whoosh!
The Cyan Wind Flying Boat's runes flashed, transforming into a stream of light, speeding forward.
"Why aren't you moving faster!"
Seeing the Fire Flame Lion and the cyan flying boat running ahead of him, Teng Yingwu smacked the Howling Moon Golden Wolf beneath him, shouting fiercely.
Howl!
The Howling Moon Golden Wolf let out a roar, charging forward.
Almost simultaneously, Monk Huiguang, who was sitting on the Lotus Jade Throne, stood up at some point, reciting a Buddhist chant and sending spells into the Lotus Jade Throne, catching up with the Howling Moon Golden Wolf.
At the forefront of the swamp was Qin Yang and Zilan riding the Fire Flame Lion, followed by the Cyan Wind Flying Boat, then the Howling Moon Golden Wolf, and finally, Monk Huiguang on the Lotus Jade Throne.
However, although everyone's mounts and flying spiritual treasures were fully unleashed,
due to the tremendous gravitational pull from the red whirlpools above the swamp, their speed was two to three tenths slower than before.
As they dashed towards the other side of the swamp at full speed,
above the Red Swamp, the compound eyes on the heads of the Fire Swamp Giant Ants began to turn towards the crowd in the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, massive red figures leapt up, fiery blades on their legs, surrounded by red flames. Twenty or thirty Fire Swamp Giant Ants rose simultaneously, attacking the group directly.
