The moment Ghost Suanni finished speaking, the ground within a hundred-mile radius began to churn violently. One Gold-Eating Ant after another burrowed through the earth and crawled out.
These Gold-Eating Ants were not particularly powerful. Most were only first rank, with a few reaching second rank. Yet their numbers were enormous, densely packed and everywhere, totaling tens of thousands.
Back then, the Ant Queen had used an innate secret art of spiritual sense to control Ghost Suanni, escaping the Divine Blood Hall through him. Thereafter, it had fed on humans as blood food and wildly multiplied its clan.
Later on, Ghost Suanni stole Rainbow Garment Grass from the Silver Wolf Clan and, in turn, took control of the Ant Queen. Using the Ant Queen's innate bloodline suppression, he controlled the entire Gold-Eating Ant swarm.
The Gold-Eating Ant swarm's loyalty far surpassed that of those disciples of the Mysterious Yin Sect.
Thus, Ghost Suanni had not stopped the Gold-Eating Ant clan from growing. He continued using humans as blood food to aid their reproduction.
It was truly impossible to imagine how many humans had been buried in the mouths of the Gold-Eating Ants over these years.
The Ant Queen's plump, slippery figure also appeared among the multitude of Gold-Eating Ants.
At its side followed an Ant King at the late fourth rank.
The Ant Queen released a vast amount of yellow poison mist from its mouth. The mist was so dense that it transformed into a poisonous dragon and charged at Lan Chen.
The low-rank Gold-Eating Ants all opened their mouths as well, spewing streams of poison mist.
As though guided by something, all that poison mist merged into the poisonous dragon, making its body thicker and its toxicity fiercer.
A fiery red silk sash was wrapped around Lan Chen's waist.
