Of the more than fifty people from Linhai Academy, only those in their early twenties were able to return to the rock safely.
Among the doctoral students who led the team, there were certainly people like He Yan who were eager to escape. But there were also some who fought hard and protected the students from escaping.
Only four sixth-level experts, plus some students, were able to safely retreat to the snow-patterned rock. Only a few of them had reached the fourth-level innate or out-of-body realm.
They all worked hard to continuously strengthen the basic spiritual formation of Zong Shou's subordinates. Fortunately, they are all from the same discipline and have learned similar things. There was no conflict or disharmony between the beast crystals laid out separately and the spiritual talismans drawn. Zong Shou took one look at these people and did not dare to be interested. Then he frowned. Among the group of people, he was the only one who didn't see the figure of Gong Xinran's younger brother.
Looking into the distance, I saw a swarm of black and red ants, swarming in. Each head is the size of a water tank half the height of a person, and the image is extremely ferocious. Black flames burned all over his body, and the carapace on his body was crystal clear, like red crystal.
However, there were still a few people running away in front of the ants. One of them is Gong Xinran's younger brother.
Zong Shou suddenly became slightly relaxed and gestured towards Zong Yuan. The latter one rose up in the air, his body like lightning, and in just a moment, he was in front of the ant wave.
A bunch of gun shadows rushed forward like a violent rain and storm in an instant. Using the power of thunder and lightning to stimulate and push, there were actually countless purple gun shadows carrying electric current. Thousands of them, in turn, completely covered the ant swarm in the sky with overwhelming force.
Zong Shou's eyes suddenly lit up.
This move, called 'Thousands of Thundering Spears', is the move that best embodies the intention of the Thundering Spear. On that day, he used it once on Xiong Kui in front of Zong Yuan.
But Zong Yuan has learned at this moment that although his control is not as good as his, he can only achieve more than 20% accuracy. But the domineering power of this grab was even greater than what he had done before!
Along with the shadow of the gun, bursts of fierce and fierce air currents were set off in the void, rushing in all directions!
In an instant, dozens of demonic fire crystal ants were completely torn into pieces by the fierce force of the gun!
The rest of the surrounding crystal ants were also shaken by the strong wind and staggered to the point of falling.
It was at that moment that the ant tide suffocated him slightly. Zongyuan turned around and caught Gong Xinran's younger brother, not daring to delay even a moment. With one leap, he returned to the giant rock.
The remaining people also seized this opportunity and continued to run wildly. By the time the ant tide recovered, there were already several people there, so it was a lucky break. Fortunately, he escaped to the huge rock. Among them was Zhong Lishuang.
Only one person was a little slower and almost in front of everyone, he was devoured by the ant swarm. In just a blink of an eye, except for some blood spattered on the ground, he disappeared.
Not only those in Lin Hai Academy were silent and shocked.
Zong Yuan also felt chilled in his heart. Look, the number of this ant colony is more than three thousand.
Just a rough count, there are tens of thousands of magic fire crystal ants. And the soldier ants two levels higher have not even appeared yet.
Just now, if he had reacted slower or been a little more eager to fight, he might not be able to return safely.
He Yan's eyes were cold and cold. When he saw Zong Yuan returning safely, a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes for some reason. After pondering for a moment, he turned towards Zong Shou, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me in advance and setting up the spiritual formation so that we can have a place to take refuge! This time, your nobles took action and saved the lives of these disciples in our academy." , He Yan is even more grateful!"
Zong Shou glanced at him sideways and didn't bother to answer. Even the people at Linhai Academy also showed contempt on their faces.
Those students with ordinary backgrounds were okay. People like Zhong Lishuang, who had family power to rely on, all looked at He Yan with cold eyes. Some people even wished they could eat this person alive.
He Yan was slightly embarrassed, coughed slightly and stopped talking. Pretending to pay attention to the spiritual formation and the situation with the magic fire crystal ants, he looked down.
Those crystal ants only needed a moment to completely surround these two giant stone pillars.
On the other side of Linhai Academy, a thunder array was laid out, and as long as these crystal ants came even slightly close. There were dozens of thunderbolts, slashing down. Together with dozens of spiritual masters on the stage, they activated the spiritual talismans at the same time and killed more than sixty demonic fire crystal ants in an instant. Make the ant tide retreat slightly.
The area occupied by Zong Shou was a cold spiritual formation, but He Yan was keenly aware that most of the magic fire crystal ants were unwilling to get close. Only then did I remember that crystal ants like heat and are afraid of cold, so they are naturally a little afraid of that place and will not approach easily.
Occasionally, there are more than a dozen magic fire crystal ants, flapping their wings, leaping dozens of feet high, intending to fly directly to the top of the boulder.
But only a few rays of sword light were seen, and a cold light suddenly appeared, instantly crushing the flying crystal ants into pieces. It disappeared again and turned into the void.
He Yan suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He originally thought that these two people were guarding only one stone. Even with a strong man like Zong Yuan, it should be extremely difficult. At this moment, he completely accepted his kindness, and any dirty thoughts inside him immediately disappeared without a trace.
I just secretly worry that in today's situation, even if I escape, I am afraid that I will inevitably die.
The magic fire crystal ant tried several times and left more than two hundred corpses. He temporarily stepped away and was a hundred feet away, seeming to be waiting for something.
But it made everyone's minds even more tense, knowing that the real hard time was yet to come. They were all very busy and continued to prepare spiritual techniques and talismans.
Zong Shou, however, took some of his attention away and looked at the young man next to him who was trembling and obviously still feeling frightened.
"Are you Gong Xinran's younger brother? Your name is Gong Yue?"
"Your Highness, do you know me?"
Then Gong Yue woke up, and then her eyes lit up: "My sister often mentioned His Highness in my letters at home. But this year, my sister has lost news for a long time."
Zong Shou nodded and used the magic formula on his right hand in his sleeve. He quietly spread a layer of illusion around his body. Then he took out the secret martial arts book from the Qiankun bag and threw it away.
"This is a relic that your sister took from an ancestor of your Gong family and asked me to bring it to you. It contains your ancestor's annotations, as well as some martial arts secrets of your Gong family, which should be of great help to your martial arts practice. beneficial."
Gong Yue took the scripture in astonishment, opened it, and saw a look of ecstasy in her eyes.
The Secret of Martial Arts, written by the Three Saints, is regarded by all aristocratic families as a classic secret, and they don't realize that they can also obtain it.
Then when the joy just surged, Gong Yue thought of her sister again, and was about to ask Zong Shou about her whereabouts when she heard a buzzing sound next to her ears.
I saw hundreds of red crystal ants flying from the sky. The ones who came this time were all flying ants with four pairs of wings.
Although the number is small, they are all above the fifth level. One of them is the most fierce, with six wings, slightly smaller in size, but like a king, occupying the center of the flying ant colony. The compound eyes were shining with a ruthless luster, looking down.
The ant colony below also separated into several paths. More than a hundred magic fire crystal ants, which were two times larger than ordinary crystal ants, came out from the inside.
And everyone on the stone pillar was slightly suffocated. There are only five of the sixth-level powerhouses here, plus Zongyuan, who is only at the fifth-level peak and whose strength is unfathomable.
After the ant colony gathered around again, it stagnated for a moment. Suddenly, more than a hundred flying ants rushed down towards the highest rock.
Dozens of soldier ants, with a few jointed limbs moving forward quickly, swooped towards the boulder at the speed of an ordinary person.
With a flick of his body and spread of his wings, he soared over two hundred feet and slid down.
Seeing this, the people from Linhai Academy, even those who were grateful before, couldn't help but feel relaxed now, and a few of them even secretly gloated about the misfortune.
Zong Shou sneered at the corners of his lips, "These Demonic Fire Crystal Ants are strong, but they have no brains. Are they bullying them?"
Zongyuan was on guard for a long time, and the purple thunder gun disappeared instantly in his hand. Then a thought that was even more tyrannical than before suddenly rushed over. Only a few rays of purple light were visible, flashing like thunder. There were more than a dozen flying ants, which were pierced through the brain and fell down quickly.
In the end, those dozens of purple thunders all gathered in one place, and finally formed a spear shadow, instantly piercing the bodies of two sixth-order soldier ants!
However, he himself seemed to be very exhausted. He was slightly out of breath and took half a step back.
Fortunately, the spiritual formation was activated at this time. A magnetic force, instantly activated. The body weight of those dozens of soldier ants seemed to have increased several times. They fell directly from the air, or hit each other, or hit the stone pillar.
The hardness of the snow-patterned rock has been strengthened by Zong Shou using spiritual methods. It was not damaged at all, but it made the soldier ants feel dizzy from the impact.
The thirty-six bamboo leaf cold swords were also activated at the right time. With lightning speed, four sixth-level soldier ants were cut into pieces in an instant!
At this time, Zong Shou also held the Thunder Wing Sword. Xiaojin's body immediately attached itself to it, strengthening the spiritual weapon again. Almost infinitely close to reaching the seventh level spiritual weapon!
The Thunder-Winged Yang Snake also turned into a piece of lightning again and wrapped around his right arm.
First he took a gentle breath, and then he suddenly drew his sword. Instantly, sword shadows flashed, accompanied by bursts of screams, slicing through the void around the stone pillar, filling in the gaps left by Zong Yuan's thundering spear. If one of them is hit by the purple sword light, whether it is dust as fine as mustard seeds or those huge soldier ants, they will be cut directly!
And never make a last hit, and don't waste any energy. Together with this spiritual formation and Zong Yuan's gun, all spaces were sealed.
In just a dozen breaths, more than sixty flying ants were killed one after another by the sword, light, gun, and shadow.
At this moment, the flying ant king suddenly flashed and turned into a stream of light, mixed in among the ants, and came diagonally.
Zong Shou's eyes also froze slightly. Then there was a cold sound. He has been waiting for this guy for a long time!
A red and blue sword light suddenly emerged from his sleeve. With world-shaking real power, an afterimage appeared in the field of vision of several sixth-level powerhouses and cut away diagonally.
