Chapter 343 Not Listening to What he Said
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Changing to foot, Zong Shou’s movement became more rigid however he could still walk like the wind, one step covering hundreds of feet like he was using no strength at all.
Today, he had changed to a brand new set of external bones. The name in the future was known as the lightning walking 4th version.
The beast tomb beneath the cloud ocean and Jiefu City had piled up his coffers, making him earn a huge amount. His equipment also surpassed grades, going from 1st generation to the 4th generation.
All the ingredients were taken from the grade 6 lightning converting cloud whale, from the bones close to its heart.
Not only was it extremely firm and hard, similar to spiritual artifacts, but it was as light as feather. When one wore it on their body, it was similar to a piece of clothing. Inside, one could even store lightning energy.
After Zong Shou crafted it, he even personally tested it, not activating true qi. With just the power of the external bone itself, it could suppress martial ancestors such that it was tough for them to resist.
His current speed was just a normal speed. The moment he used lightning, he could even get 10 times quicker.
Actually, the lightning walking external bone had 12 generations and 79 types.
When it reached the 5th generation one it would need to use grade 7 ingredients.
It wasn’t that Zong Shou didn’t try to craft even stronger models, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find suitable artifact blacksmiths.
This 4th generation external bone was good, only one point made Zong Shou helpless.
It was still not flexible enough when he walked he was still like a puppet.
Continuing forwards for roughly 70 miles, Zong Shou let out whistles, it was heavy and then became clear and sharp spreading all about.
Speaking of which the place where the dragon veins gathered was where strong beasts gathered. However, along the way, it was really smooth and he didn’t meet any dangerous situation at all.
This was a technique he learned in the future, copying the dragon roar and Phoenix shrieks to threaten beasts around.
Even if these beasts had grown some intelligence and had some doubts they wouldn’t casually attack. Most of them would stay far away from them.
However, just as the mountain started to become steeper and steeper, Zong Shou heard several clanking sounds by his ear. His body instantly halted, following which, his expression changed in the next moment.
“Demon Fire crystal ant. f***, why is there such a thing here?”
Zong Shou rarely cursed out, he instantly activated the lightning bone to the utmost scenario.
With 10 times more speed than before, he pulled Zong Yuan and crazily retreated.
Until 60 miles away from where they saw tens of giant protruding stones in the distance, Zong Shou used his spiritual sense to observe and he was filled with delight. He stopped his running speed and jumped to the highest giant stone.
He used his leg to step first. As expected it was a snow pattern stone which was extremely firm. It was 1200 feet high, its height was just enough. The hundred feet space was not big but not small, just enough for 2 people.
Then he didn’t stop, with the efficiency he had never had in the last life and this, he started draining spiritual patterns and arranging beast crystals on the giant stone.
8 minutes later, when the spiritual formation was completed, one could see this snow pattern stone solidifying at a rate that it was tough for the naked eye to pick up. It became ice-cold, the outer layer was covered in a layer of frost.
Zong Shou still wasn’t at ease, taking out 36 small flying knives and placed it within this spiritual formation.
This was the set of bamboo leaf swords he got that day from Wuye. Some of them had broken into pieces which Zong Shou didn’t repair. He only let a grade 6 spiritual blacksmith craft the remaining portion.
He added in several precious pieces of equipment, causing them to be changed and making them into a set of the nondescript flying sword. It was still a bamboo leaf sword but it had more ice series attributes which were why Zong Shou called if the bamboo leaf ice sword.
He had tried to use his mind to command this set of flying knives but he was unable to control them all. The flying knives flew randomly all about and weren’t in an orderly manner.
He could see that this set of flying swords were still really strong and with his ability to multitask and split his thoughts it was terrifyingly strong. Zong Shou was filled with envy, he didn’t have the time to train this ability and thus temporal gave up. However, using it along with this spiritual formation it wasn’t that weak.
With the spiritual formation laid out, the 36 bamboo leaf ice sword suddenly hid away, their traces couldn’t be picked up.
Zong Shou looked behind him, only to see those predicted ant swarm chase over. Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, his heart was still extremely wary and alert.
Zong Yuan was at the side looking at Zong Shou’s formation on the stone, although he felt weird he didn’t interrupt.
Until now did he ask, “Ruler what is that demon fire crystal ant which made you so terrified?”
To flee and then set up a formation, he had never seen Zong Shou panic so much before.
With his ruler and his ability, even if there were grade 7 beasts the 2 of them would be able to retreat safely.
“It is a grade 4 spiritual ant...”
Zong Yuan was feeling more and more curious, grade 4? If it was a grade 4 then why did they have to fear? Following which he heard Zong Shou continue to say, “They are always in groups, one ant colony is at least above 3 thousand. If there are soldier ants they are at least grade 6. Growing near the abyss and loved consuming life and spirits. They are born with 2 wings, although they can’t fly, one jump can cover a thousand feet...”
Zong Yuan’s hair stood on their ends as he heard that, thinking about 3 thousand xiantian experts with several grades 6 amongst them. He was instantly terrified as he looked behind. If they were surrounded by the ants, even if they had god-like abilities, they would still die from all the fighting.
He was also worried. Although Zong Shou had set up spiritual formations to defend but being stuck here also meant that they were in a tough situation. If they didn’t get away they would fall sooner or later.
On the side of Zong Shou, he had used his spirit master methods to summon some branches. To use the lightning winged sword to slay several beasts, sucking them over and raising a fire to barbecue.
He didn’t have the time to pay attention to season, randomly skinning the skin and barbecuing it such that it was half raw and half cooked. He passed some to Zong Yuan whilst he swallowed mouthful by mouthful. He ate whilst instructing, “Eat more and store up some more energy, there will probably be a huge battle later on. The demon fire crystal ants were extremely quick. Those soldier ants were even faster than grade 7 beasts. Once one’s aura was locked into by them, one wouldn’t be able to escape. However, one just needed the sky to turn bright and they would be able to escape. There wasn’t anything in the world that was perfect. Any strong spirit would have its weakness and can be countered. These demon fire crystal ants are most afraid of the sun...”
It then did Zong Yuan understand and look at the color of the sky. It was still not midnight. He didn’t hesitate to swallow down like a wolf.
At the martial ancestor level, one could actually be self-sufficient and absorb spiritual energy from the outside to turn it into vital energy and essence energy.
However, at that level, the consumption during cultivation and battles every day was huge. If one purely depended on spiritual energy from heaven and earth, one wouldn’t be able to break even. His appetite had on the other hand increased by 10 times.
Just as the 2 of them had settled down, a group of people rushed over from far away.
It was the people from Linhai College who looked like they were really eager to rush to the dragon gate entry at the waist of the mountain and not rest at the foot of it. It filled Zong Shou with regret. If he knew this would happen, he would have been more thick-skinned and spent some more time at the foot.
When those people saw the 2 of them, they all felt slightly awkward, acting like they didn’t see anything as they continued forward.
Zong Shou frowned but decided to open his mouth to give a reminder, “There are demon fire crystal ants at the front. The few of you haven’t come into contact with them, it is better you all return now...”
The Linhai College people acted like they didn’t hear it, their legs not stopping at all.
Xi Yan who was at the helm burst out laughing.
They could roughly hear some noises spread over.
“Demon fire crystal ant, what is that?”
“I have seen them before, it’s a spiritual ant that grows in the fire veins of the demon abyss. However, I heard that during the cloud desolate era most of them had wet extinct. Those that remained are also beneath the cloud ocean.”
“Are they trying to scare us? How amusing. Speaking of which, isn’t Zong Shou planning to go to the dragon gate? Why is he stopping there?”
“This person has no spiritual and martial cultivation so how can he climb up the dragon gathering mountain?
The corner of Zong Shou’s lips twitched once more. Thinking that since these people wanted to die then he would just let them, he was lazy to bother about them.
After eating and drinking his food, Zong Shou adjusted his breath, turning all the energy within the meat into spiritual energy and essence energy which he absorbed into the body.
Now he could consume an entire wild tooth pig alone. At this moment, he ate more to store energy which caused him to have a swelling feeling.
Thinking about it carefully, Zong Shou shook his head. He injected several hundred grades 4 beast crystals towards the snow pattern stone at the side, forming another spiritual formation.
He wasn’t that kind-hearted to forget about what happened before to be able to give those Linhai College people a safe ground to stand on.
However, more of them meant more power to deal with the ants and that was for the best.
This was an extremely shallow grade 4 spiritual formation that he learned when he was in Linhai College. Although it was unable to block the demon fire crystal ant for too long, however, the Linhai College people could strengthen it and he didn’t need to worry about it.
Smiling slightly, Zong Shou waited quietly. As expected in a short moment he saw a group of people frantically fleeing. Their faces ashen white, filled with fear and terror.
The one leading the way was Xi Yan. He was panicking as he looked at where Zong Yuan and Zong Shou was at, then his eyes lit up as he drove the spiritual artifact to fly over.
When Zong Shou saw that he burst out laughing. That person was truly shameless, actually running in front of those students. Following which without even needing him to open his mouth, Zong Yuan knew what he meant.
Stabbing out with a spear, the vast and intense spear image spread a thousand feet, scoffing coldly, “Scram to the side.”
That Xi Yan was helpless and could only change his direction, avoiding far away. His face was extremely green. A moment later there were shades of joy.
He jumped onto the giant mountain nearby and he looked around. He was filled with even more joy as he took out some beast crystals to perfect the spiritual formation.
At this time more people from Linhai College had escaped till that mountain. That Xi Yan’s eyes were originally filled with violence as he cast spells from within his sleeves. However, when at the corner of his eyes he saw Zong Shou look over with a smile, he immediately stopped, allowing the rest of the people to charge onto this giant stone.
