Yue Yang followed a crowd of mercenary soldiers through the winding Ant Tunnel, running for around ten minutes.
Suddenly, they came into a wide clearing.
There was a space in the cave that was even larger than a football field appearing into view.
The mercenary soldiers gathered at the entrance, not daring to go into the wide clearing. This was because, no matter if it was ground or a cave, the whole place was infested with Fire Red Ants. There seemed to be more than ten thousands of them.
Let alone ordinary mercenary soldiers, even Yue Yang was frozen on the spot.
Even if they were only ants, if there were so many of them, it would be very scary.
Furthermore, in the Soaring Dragon Continent, the weakest beast was not ants… These Fire Red Ants were already Level 3 monsters when they finished incubation. The was even the larger Ant Soldiers that were already Level 4 monsters when they hatched, and the Ant Queen Guard that could breathe fire that were Level 5 when they hatched.
Although they were not elite monsters, with their numbers, they had an extremely formidable battle power.
Even if the mercenary soldiers were to force a battle and dispatch over ten thousand soldiers here, the result would probably be a total defeat and they would all be the Fire Red Ants’ dinner.
“Pour Ant Water on yourselves! These Fire Red Ants are all fools, they would think that we are them so they will not discover us!” There was a brave Mercenary Troop Leader who suddenly took out a bottle of Ant Water and poured it over himself. Bringing along his troops, who were not afraid of risks and death, their purpose was not the reward, but the Golden Ant Egg.
“Those who have flying beasts, follow me.” There was also someone who had thought of an idea, and that was using flying beasts to advance forward.
“Those who are not going, please move away. Cowards, watch me count my money later!” There was an especially arrogant mercenary soldier who was pushing other soldiers to come out from the crowd. He brandished his axe and jumped out of the Ant Tunnel with a group of people. They had covered themselves with an Insect Repellant Liquid. Let alone Fire Red Ants, many other insect type organisms hated that kind of disgusting smell. In normal situations, insects would immediately avoid them, unwilling to attack such a smelly enemy.
There wasn’t only one Ant Tunnel that leaded to the space clearing; there were a few dozens of them. Countless mercenaries who were willing to throw away their lives for the sake of wealth set out, causing disturbances amongst the swarm of Fire Red Ants.
From time to time, there would be mercenaries that was found out by the Fire Red Ants, needless to say they were immediately killed on the spot. However, there were many more people who managed to escape as they had poured vast amounts of the Ant Water and the Insect Repellant Liquid.
Yue Yang came out from the crowd soundlessly and followed closely behind these desperate mercenaries.
They passed through another Ant Tunnel below, and they arrived at a nest that was even larger than the space before. They realized that there were more Fire Red Ants here. Countless Fire Red Ants were violently moving and crawling, seeking their enemies everywhere. There were also the gigantic-bodied Ant Guards, who could breathe a long pillar of fire that danced in the air. There were layers of Fire Red Ants crawling on the ground, looking for the intruder that stole their Golden Ant Egg… Close to over a hundred mercenaries were standing on a platform at the side of a cliff, their teeths chattering with fright. They had sprayed a large amount of Insect Repellant Liquid and lighted up torches to protect themselves, keeping watch on top of that platform.
