For the next three whole days, Yue Yang, Ye Kong and the others trained at the Ant Holes. They did not return to the Settlement Camp.
Yue Yang’s purpose was not like the other mercenaries, who were looking for Fire Red Ant Eggs. His purpose was to train the team’s beasts and the coordination. Yue Yang didn’t summon any of his beasts to fight, his main priority was to protect everyone’s safety while allowing them to train. At the same time, during Ye Kong’s, Fatty Hai’s and the others’ training, Yue Yang had secretly cultivated his Yin Yang Twin Fish [Spherical Beheader], seeking a greater breakthrough.
Yue Bing trained together with Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the Li Clan Brothers on the first day, but when Yue Yang saw that her Hundred Year Old Tree Defender’s abilities were simply too powerful, he told her to train alone at a place a hundred meters away from Ye Kong and the others. He also told Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the Li Clan Brothers to divide into two groups to train.
Ye Kong had a Herculean Rhinoceros Beetle which had a formidable defense, and a King Kong Demon Ape which had formidable attack power. He immediately became the main pillar of group.
He had improved by leaps and bounds, but it was a pity that the King Kong Demon Ape and the Herculean Rhinoceros Beetle were both still young beasts. They still couldn’t display their maximum potential, otherwise they would definitely be extremely powerful.
Fatty Hai changed his lazy ways and followed Yue Yang’s training plan, focusing on training his Iron-skinned Rhinoceros that he didn’t really like.
Yue Yang knew that Fatty Hai’s potential was actually not bad.
It’s just that he was too lazy most of the time. He only liked eating and hated to train. In addition, he had a weak and cowardly disposition. This was why he ended up in his present state. If Fatty Hai could grit his teeth, bear the pain and cultivate hard, he could still become a little successful in the future.
As for the Li Clan Brothers who liked to keep silent most of the time, their martial art skills were gaining obvious improvements under the random pointers that Yue Yang gave them, as he couldn’t stand looking at their inadequacies.
Although they weren’t very talented, they were extremely hardworking.
In such cases, diligence could make up for lack of talent.
However, after they split into two groups, the Li Clan Brother’s Wind Wolves were burnt to death by a Fire Red Ant Soldier’s Flame when they were besieging a Fire Red Ant Soldier. It was all due to the Li Clan Brother’s lack of control over the two beasts, hence they were extremely sad and disheartened. There was always a time limit to summon beasts. In order to quickly improve and stop being Yue Yang’s burden, Ye Kong and the others had trained unceasingly. They would immediately initiate an attack when they spotted a Fire Red Ant foraging for food. Under exhaustion, the Li Clan Brothers could still force themselves to hold on, but their Wind Wolves couldn’t, hence they died in the battle. Within the span of 3 days, Ye Kong and the others managed to kill 7 Fire Red Ants, including one gigantic Fire Red Giant Ant Soldier whose body was over 8 meters long.
Yue Bing had killed 6 Fire Red Ants on her own. Furthermore, she had finished them off very easily.
Accompanied by Yue Yang’s advice and her own instincts, her control of the Hundred Year Old Tree Defender had become even more coordinated.
Suddenly, a sound wave from an SOS Scroll pleaded for help from somewhere deep in the Ant’s Hole, “Golden Ant Eggs, we found Golden Ant Eggs! However, we were discovered by Ant Guards, and an Ant Wave had exploded inside the whole Ant’s Nest now. We, a hundred or so mercenary soldiers, are surrounded inside. Anyone who can enter the Ant Hole to help, please help us. We will definitely reward you. We hope that you guys will come to the second layer of Ant’s Nest to help us,”
The whole tunnel resounded with the echoes of their voices.
That type of SOS Scroll was the lowest grade SOS Scroll which was generally used by Mercenary Soldiers. Its area of broadcast wasn’t very wide, only around 5 km wide. Usually, using sound waves to call for help could easily leak the user’s position and attract many enemies. This would increase the danger to the user of the scroll, who was pleading for help. Hence, they were not used by most troops.
However, in Despair Abyss, it was very commonly used.
This was because the monsters there detected their prey using scent and heat. They were not very sensitive to noises, so they wouldn’t seek for the source of the pleading voice.
Another thing was that the terrain there was extremely complex with many holes, pitfalls, cliffs and sudden depressions. Hence, using voice to call for help was much more effective than using fireworks, flash lights and so on.
“Bing-er, let’s go!”
Hearing about the Ant Wave explosion, Yue Yang hurriedly brought Yue Bing and met up with Ye Kong and the others again, preparing to le
