The three Cat Person Hunters' anger was of no use.
As the effects of the potions on their bodies gradually disappeared and the number of Sand Ants continued to increase, they didn't even have the mood to be angry.
Just resisting the Sand Ants' siege had exhausted all their strength.
However, it was useless. In the end, the three Cat Person Hunters were swallowed by the Sand Ants, and blood stained the ground red.
After the three Cat Person Hunters died, the surrounding space distorted, and a large pile of things fell out.
Lu Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at the things on the ground.
Not to mention a pile of Spirit Crystals and materials, there were even two white light clusters.
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.
Was this a Gene Armament or an Extraordinary Gene?!
He had struck it rich this time!
This Cat Person Swordsman was really bad!
He actually lied to him, saying there were no gains?!
Clearly, the gains were so great!
Lu Yuan jumped from the top of the pit into the Ant Nest, wielding his long sword, instantly killing two Sand Ants, knocking the other Sand Ants away, clearing a space.
On the ground, the corpses of the three Cat Person Hunters lay flat, gradually turning into white light and dissipating.
Gene Warriors who died in the Origin Land would eventually return to the real world to be resurrected.
Lu Yuan didn't care about their corpses disappearing. He quickly picked up the two light clusters on the ground.
He glanced at them. Inside the light clusters were two sets of leather armor, Gene Armaments.
Although their value was not as good as Extraordinary Genes, they could still be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
For Lu Yuan, it was quite good.
Just as Lu Yuan picked up the two light clusters, the surrounding Sand Ants screamed and pounced again.
They had just killed three intruders, and unexpectedly, another one had come.
The Sand Ants frantically attacked Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan's expression didn't change much.
He was wearing armor and constantly maintaining his Black Iron Body, so his defense was very strong.
Although the effect of the Defense Potion had ended, ordinary Sand Ants still couldn't break through his defense.
A Sand Ant used its huge mandibles to clamp Lu Yuan's thigh, resulting in a cracking sound. Lu Yuan could only feel a slight tingling.
"Get lost!"
Lu Yuan shouted in a low voice, kicking away the Sand Ant that stubbornly wanted to break his thigh.
While clearing out the Sand Ants, he picked up the Spirit Crystals and materials on the ground one by one.
Not only the Spirit Crystals and materials dropped by the three Cat Person Hunters who had died earlier, but also the Spirit Crystals dropped by the Sand Ants they had killed before.
However, the corpses of those sand ants were dragged back to the ant nest by their companions, so there was no way to collect the materials.
Moreover, the most precious material of the sand ants is a peculiar tendon inside their bodies, which needs to be dissected to be collected, and it cannot be collected in this environment.
Lu Yuan naturally gave up the idea of collecting sand ant tendons.
Before long, Lu Yuan picked up all the spirit crystals and materials that had dropped earlier.
The sand ants continued to attack Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at the densely packed sand ants rushing out of the two passages, and the idea of retreating directly dissipated a little.
With so many sand ants, even if he doesn't collect their materials, just the spirit crystals they drop can earn him a fortune.
If it were someone else, facing so many sand ants, there might be a fatal threat.
But Lu Yuan is different. He maintains the Black Iron Body at all times, and these worker ants cannot break his defense.
And his spirit power can be continuously replenished and will not be exhausted.
This gives Lu Yuan the capital to continue fighting here.
Unless he encounters worker ants with a high degree of tempering, or elite soldier ants.
But these sand ants have already died more than a hundred, and no stronger worker ants or soldier ants have appeared yet, indicating that this sand ant nest may not be too big.
Even if there are elite soldier ants, the number is probably not too large.
It's not too late for him to leave when he encounters a powerful worker ant or soldier ant that he can't deal with.
After all, this pit is not high, and it is very easy for him to get up.
It is not easy to find so many fierce beasts in other places that are so numerous and difficult to break through his defense.
With this thought, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the worker ants that were constantly besieging him.
Let's do it!
He clenched the greatsword in both hands and began to harvest the lives of the worker ants besieging him.
Five, ten, twenty, one hundred…
Lu Yuan used spirit crystals to absorb spirit power when he felt tired, always maintaining the full operation of the Black Iron Body.
He no longer remembers how many sand ants he has killed.
His body is covered with the transparent mucus left by the death of the sand ants.
At the same time, he is also consciously training his footwork and swordsmanship.
His footwork and swordsmanship are also steadily improving.
Chi!
A dark black sword light flashed, and Lu Yuan killed a sand ant with one sword.
A white light orb emerged from the corpse of the sand ant.
Lu Yuan's originally numb spirit was shaken.
Something dropped?
He quickly picked up the ball of light and took a look. It was a pair of daggers that resembled the mandibles of a sand ant.
White Gene Armament daggers.
Lu Yuan revealed a smile.
The probability of obtaining a Gene Armament from ordinary ferocious beasts is extremely low. He didn't expect his luck to be so good.
Of course, this was also related to him killing a large number of sand ants.
Quantity can lead to qualitative change.
"Squeak!!"
Lu Yuan put away the Gene Armament and was about to continue hunting.
Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out, and chaotic footsteps came from the passage in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's expression changed. Without even thinking, he stepped on the head of a sand ant and jumped up.
As a Gene Warrior, Lu Yuan's abilities in all aspects were extremely powerful, and his jumping ability was naturally the same.
He jumped directly to a height of nearly four meters. Then, he held the longsword in his right hand and grabbed the protruding rock on the edge of the pit with his left hand.
His arm exerted force, and his whole body rose again. In less than a second, he flipped out of the five-meter-high pit.
After flipping out of the pit, Lu Yuan ran directly into the depths of the passage.
After running for dozens of meters, he turned his head and saw two huge sand ants, each about one meter seventy or eighty in height and yellow in color, rushing out of the pit.
Behind them were densely packed sand ants. These sand ants were generally about one meter two in height, and they looked much stronger than the ones he had encountered before.
They were the strong ones in the Ant Nest.
Lu Yuan's heart trembled, and he quickly continued to run.
Cries and footsteps came from behind him.
Lu Yuan ran for a while and saw several forks in the road.
He randomly found a fork and continued to run. He ignored the Little Stone Men, Black Scorpions, and other ferocious beasts he encountered along the way, allowing them to attack him.
He ran like this for almost half an hour. Lu Yuan couldn't hear the sound coming from behind him, so he stopped in a passage without any ferocious beasts.
He leaned against the wall, panting repeatedly.
After a moment, he calmed his breathing and frowned as he looked at the mucus on his body.
He found a corner, put away the Gene Armament, took off his clothes, and washed them with clean water and shower gel before feeling comfortable.
After changing his clothes, Lu Yuan put on his armor again.
Because of the previous battles with the three Hunters and the ant swarm, Lu Yuan's armor now had many cracks.
The repair of Gene Armaments requires specialized artificers. Lu Yuan doesn't understand artificing, so he naturally can't repair it.
He could only wear it like this.
Fortunately, his Beetle Claw longsword was of Elite Quality, and its hardness was much stronger than armor, so it looked pretty good.
Lu Yuan found a place to sit down and began to count his gains this time.
First of all, there were three sets of Gene Armaments.
Two sets were leather armor, and one was a dagger.
Although they were all of ordinary level, these three sets of Gene Armaments could be sold for more than 100,000!
Then there were the materials.
Lu Yuan didn't have the chance to collect Sand Ant materials before, but the three Hunters dropped quite a few.
Little Stone Man's Heart, Poison Scorpion stingers, Dungeon Spider silk, Sand Ant tendons...
There were quite a few types, and the total number was more than two hundred.
These things added up to tens of thousands of dollars.
These were just the foreplay.
The real highlight was the Spirit Crystals piled up like a small mountain!
The three Hunters had dropped more than a thousand Spirit Crystals before, and later they killed nearly a hundred Sand Ants, which dropped about two hundred more, adding up to about one thousand five hundred Spirit Crystals.
And the rest were all obtained by Lu Yuan killing Sand Ants.
Lu Yuan obtained more than one thousand five hundred Spirit Crystals.
In other words, Lu Yuan had killed more than five hundred Sand Ants!
You should know that the three Cat Person Hunters together had only killed nearly a hundred before being swallowed by the ant swarm.
And Lu Yuan was just one person, but he killed five times as many Sand Ants as them!
Lu Yuan was numb from killing before, and he instinctively avoided attacks, swung his sword, and absorbed the spiritual power in the Spirit Crystals to maintain the operation of his Black Iron Body.
He didn't expect that he had killed so many Sand Ants.
Looking at the mountain of Spirit Crystals, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile excitedly:
"It seems that the Guardian-type Gene still has advantages! If my Battle Skill this time was not the defensive-type Black Iron Body, but an attack-type Battle Skill, then I would not be able to ignore the attacks of the Sand Ants, and I would definitely be injured and then swallowed by the ant swarm."
Perhaps when facing Gene Warriors with fast speed, the Guardian-type Gene seems a bit clumsy.
But when facing a horde of ferocious beasts, the power of the Guardian-type Gene is revealed.
Especially when combined with his infinite spiritual power to absorb Spirit Crystals.
It can almost be said to be cheating.
In this dungeon full of ferocious beasts, this advantage is too great.
In comparison, being slightly clumsy in speed doesn't seem so important.
