Swathes of corpse storks flew in from the depths of the void. With their great beaks agape, they sprayed out vast quantities of corpse-cold aura, covering the swarms of Void-Devouring Ghost Ants. The ants seemed to shiver from the freezing cold, finding it difficult to maintain their previous speed. Some of the weaker ones, or those caught in the brunt of it, were even torn apart by the corpse storks' sinister wind, dying on the spot and becoming scattered limbs and bones.
The ghost crows' bodies trembled, and sheets of hard feathers, sharp as blades, fell away from them. They zipped back and forth through the void, slicing apart the bodies of the Void-Devouring Ghost Ants from time to time.
The Void-Devouring Ghost Ants were not idle either. The battle had only just begun, and the number of ghost ants killed so far was practically negligible compared with the enormous colony. As long as the ant nest's vital energy remained intact, these low-tier ghost ants could be hatched continuously. Moreover, the urgently hatched ghost ants had their life potential stimulated through a special method, allowing them to unleash extraordinary combat power.
When vast numbers of Void-Devouring Ghost Ants flew out of the auxiliary ant nests, they formed enormous balls of ants. In the void, one could see ant balls rolling over, each spanning more than a dozen zhang—or even over a hundred zhang—whenever they moved. These were Void-Devouring Ghost Ants clumped together. The densely packed ant balls alone were enough to make one's scalp crawl, let alone the fact that each contained a vast number of Void-Devouring Ghost Ants.
"The ant nest's ability to hatch low-tier ghost ants seems even stronger than before." Watching the skeleton army he had sent out being ravaged by the ant swarm, with skeletons continuously
