Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 751 - 719 Iron Fire Ant

In terms of geographical location, the area where Lu Ping was previously located belongs to the eastern part of the Water God Swamp.

The area where Elder Jiang resides is located on the southern side of the Water God Swamp.

That side is a part of the Land of Fire, and currently, this place is also within the Land of Fire, indicating that the area of the Land of Fire is quite extensive.

As Lu Ping was observing, Elder Jiang also recognized this type of terrain and mentioned the Land of Fire to Lu Ping.

Upon learning that Lu Ping had already harvested Spirit Plants and Medicines in such a terrain, Elder Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "Then there’s no need to pick any more; let’s first go and join Sect Leader Tai and the others."

Taiqi Peak and Xu Tiangxiang are both on the outskirts of this Secret Realm, coincidentally also at the edge of the Water God Swamp.

There isn’t much difficulty in meeting up with them.

Having experienced a demon beast attack, it was She Shun’s ambush that made Elder Jiang and Lu Ping more aware of the importance of holding together and acting jointly.

This is just at the outskirts of the Void Heaven Secret Realm; if going deeper into the Secret Realm, what kind of demon beasts might appear, what sort of strength they might possess, all these are unknown.

Could there be greater lurking dangers?

Conserve strength, act cautiously, and we’ll see in due time.

To save magical power and preserve strength, the two decided to operate a Magical Artifact.

The Void Escape Ship did not fly high in the air; under Lu Ping’s control, it continued to fly close to the ground.

Flying close to the ground is not as conspicuous as flying high, which is a lesson Lu Ping learned after encountering attacks from demon birds twice.

While heading to the area where Xu Tiangxiang was located, Lu Ping also asked Elder Jiang about her experiences since entering the Secret Realm.

To his puzzlement, Elder Jiang, like him, had just been teleported into here and hadn’t yet observed her surroundings when she was attacked by a demon beast.

It was a Tier Four Middle Grade Black Feathered Bird, hovering in the sky, launching a fierce attack on Elder Jiang.

Such a powerful demon beast posed no threat to Elder Jiang and was easily slain by her.

However, to Elder Jiang’s surprise, during the slaying of the Black Feathered Bird, another demon beast charged at her.

This time, the demon beast was not as powerful as the Black Feathered Bird, only having the strength of a Late-stage Crystallization beast, which was a Giant Rock Bear.

The speed of the Giant Rock Bear’s attack took Elder Jiang by surprise.

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit had mentioned that there were many demon beasts in the Void Heaven Secret Realm, but after stepping into the Secret Realm, it wasn’t as if one could see lots of demon beasts by just looking around.

Furthermore, with such a huge discrepancy in strength, for a Late-stage Crystallization demon beast to attack a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator, could this beast be seeking its own doom?

The result was obvious: the Black Rock Bear was slain by Elder Jiang with just a face-to-face encounter.

Subsequently, Elder Jiang concealed her aura, her attention drawn by the Spirit Plants and Medicines in the Water God Swamp.

After picking some Spirit Plants and Medicines, she discovered three Purple Spirit Immortal Vines.

Just as she was about to pick them, She Shun appeared out of nowhere, also wanting to contest for the Purple Spirit Immortal Vine, leading to the scene Lu Ping witnessed.

"The behavior of the demon beasts in this Secret Realm is somewhat strange; knowing they’re not strong enough, they still choose to attack us. Is there something fishy here?"

Lu Ping speculated.

He also recounted his own experience of being attacked by demon beasts but did not specify which beasts.

"Hmm, very strange."

Upon hearing that Lu Ping had a similar experience, Elder Jiang’s Liiu Mei furrowed slightly, puzzled by the reason behind it.

Could it be that when they arrived here, they forgot to conceal their aura, attracting the demon beasts to attack?

However, even without concealing the aura of their cultivation, wouldn’t the Late-stage Golden Core strength deter many demon beasts?

Demon beasts are particularly sensitive to the human race.

It does seem there might be something fishy here.

Or perhaps it’s all just a coincidence.

"Let’s not overthink it. Later, we’ll ask Sect Leader Tai and Xu Tiangxiang if they’ve had similar experiences."

Lu Ping said.

"Hmm, good idea."

Elder Jiang nodded.

Time flew by, and the surrounding scenery kept changing.

During this time, they learned some techniques, performing Qi Concealing Technique and Concealing Technique to hide their presence and aura, avoiding further attacks by demon beasts.

The two of them continued flying close to the ground in the Water God Swamp, occasionally picking a few top-quality Spirit Plants and Medicines they noticed around them.

Before long, the two were flying within the realm of the Water God Swamp and found Xu Tiangxiang.

When they found Xu Tiangxiang, they saw him fighting a swarm of Iron Fire Ants, with thousands upon thousands of Iron Fire Ants roaming densely around him.

These Iron Fire Ants were not small, about thumb-sized, with sharp mandibles, presenting a fiery red appearance, and their bodies covered with hard shells.

Their eyes also shone brightly, standing out even during the day.

As Tier Two demon beasts, the Iron Fire Ants had extremely strong reproductive capabilities, typically hunting in groups.

Relying on sharp mandibles, agile movement, and the fire poison contained in their bite, Iron Fire Ants possessed immense destructive power.

Wherever the Iron Fire Ants passed, countless creatures would perish under their bites, leaving nothing behind.

The toxicity of their fire poison, once entering the body, would cause the poisoned ones to collapse, experiencing the agony of thousands of fires attacking the heart, weakening resistance.

Looking at the current number of Iron Fire Ants, there were as many as a thousand, akin to a locust tide.

"How can there be so many Iron Fire Ants here?"

Elder Jiang murmured, showing surprise as she looked at the Iron Fire Ants crawling everywhere.

In the Chu Kingdom, Iron Fire Ants were extremely rare, almost impossible to find, and the fire poison they secreted was the main ingredient for refining Tier Three Fire Spirit Pills, which had a high market price.

A Fire Spirit Pill could aid a Crystallization Stage fire attribute cultivator in breaking through a small realm, providing excellent cultivation support, making Fire Spirit Pills worth their weight in gold.

Iron Fire Ants thus became the target of numerous cultivators, who sought traces of these Spirit Worms.

Lu Ping squinted, preparing to lend a hand in assistance.

In the next moment, he saw Xu Tiangxiang summon a Gourd Spiritual Artifact.

The Gourd Spiritual Artifact rotated in the air, releasing bursts of flame power, with wisps of blue smoke rising from its mouth.

Inside this Gourd, it seemed to hide immense flame power, much like a small volcano.

This is the Fire Attribute Spiritual Artifact, the Fire Flame Gourd, of Tier Four Middle Grade, perfectly suitable for dealing with these Iron Fire Ants.

Lu Ping and Elder Jiang, seeing Xu Tiangxiang summon the Fire Flame Gourd, guessed his intention to use the Fire Attack Technique to clear the Iron Fire Ants on a large scale.
