Chapter 1076: Escape from the Siege

Ning Xian explained, "If I'm not mistaken, these should be the Soul Devouring Ants, a race that also existed in ancient times."

"Their strength does not lie in their individual strengths, but in the powerful devouring force formed by the entire group coming together."

"Even giant dragons are nothing more than delicious meals in front of them. The Soul Devouring Ants back then were the most powerful creatures among the many ancient races."

Tang Lan was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help but complain: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Do you have any way to escape from here?"

"Ahem, there is a way, but it is also difficult to implement. The chance of escaping is only 50%."

"These soul-devouring ants rely on the body's special senses. You just need to completely cut off your own soul power, and they will have no thoughts about you."

"But if you do this, you lose the opportunity to take action first, and if you encounter something unexpected, it can also endanger your life."

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Ning Xian didn't dare to talk too much nonsense and had to explain to Tang Lan how to break the impasse as quickly as possible.

"So that's how it is! I understand."

Seeing that the Soul-Devouring Ants were less than ten feet away from him, some of the fast ones had even begun to eat the corpse of the Earth Dragon.

As the soul power in his body completely stagnated, Tang Lan seemed to have turned back into an ordinary person.

But Tang Lan's figure was like a swift cheetah, and he appeared a hundred meters away in just a few breaths.

Although the cliff is densely covered with soul-eating ants.

But relying on the improved version of the Brilliant Demon Pupil and the Divine Shadow Mystery, Tang Lan was able to possess a speed comparable to that of a Titled Douluo even without using his soul power.

This scene shocked Ning Xian, the weapon spirit in the black knife, and he couldn't help but ask, "Boy, what is this weird footwork of yours? It's so powerful that it's comparable to a physical skill!"

In the era when Ning Xian lived, human soul masters were indeed physically strong.

However, they did not use any footwork like the Ghost Shadow which was created by people in later generations. Most of them fought head-on without using any tactics, and they relied on soul skills and the ability of martial soul to escape.

"This is an advanced version of the Tang Sect's technique. It was created by later generations of soul masters. It's normal that you don't know about it."

"As you can see, its effect is comparable to that of spirit skills, but it is more practical than spirit skills. Even ordinary people who are not spirit masters can practice it."

As Tang Lan spoke, her toes were already stepping on the edges of the cliff like a dragonfly skimming the water, and she was moving quickly along the path as if she were walking on a ladder to heaven.

"Don't be careless, kid. Once they notice you, you'll be in big trouble."

Tang Lan did not answer this, his feet still walking leisurely as if he was climbing to heaven and walking on clouds.

However, at this moment, an accident occurred. A jade pendant on Tang Lan's waist suddenly began to release a soul power wave.

The ripple gradually grew stronger and gradually attracted the attention of the surrounding soul-devouring ants.

Accompanied by the sound of rustling that resounded throughout the ravine, countless soul-devouring ants turned their heads and focused their attention on Tang Lan.

"Oh no, boy, God is going to kill you, run away!"

Ning Xian shouted loudly inside the black knife and no longer cared about anything else.

swoosh————

Tang Lan released the soul power in his body almost instantly the moment this guy opened his mouth. He leaped several feet into the air and stepped onto a rock wall.

Feeling that countless soul-devouring ants were rushing towards him from behind, Tang Lan burst out with all his strength, and the whole person turned into a golden light and rushed out of the gully.

Wow! !

The soul-devouring ants continued to rush towards Tang Lan like a brown torrent.

The Tang Lan piled up together and turned into a huge mouth that wanted to swallow the Tang Lan in one bite.

"Humph, you are not qualified to devour me!"

Tang Lan snorted coldly, and increased his speed again. The ancient dragon's wings spread out and at the last moment he flew out of the range covered by the giant mouth.

The Dragon God Overlord Spear was summoned out instantly, and with a sweep of the spear, the entire world was covered with the spear light.

Amidst the loud explosion, countless soul-devouring ants were swept away by the gunfire.

But Tang Lan looked serious, because he clearly saw that the shot did not have the effect he expected.

Only a small number of the Soul-Devouring Ants died under the gun; the vast majority of them withstood Tang Lan's full-strength attack.

With this in mind, Tang Lan had no choice but to fight and flee at the same time. Every time he saw the Soul-Devouring Ants chasing him from behind, he would shoot and disperse them.

In the end, Tang Lan was horrified to find that these soul-devouring ants were actually devouring his attacks.

These guys have a natural resistance to and ability to devour soul power.

The shells of the remaining Soul-Devouring Ants were shining, and they were not even seriously hurt by Tang Lan's attack.

Tang Lan could see that these soul-devouring ants spread out his attack and used their numerical advantage to forcibly devour the power.

If I were surrounded by them, I would probably be sucked dry by them in less than half an incense stick of time.

This escape lasted for six hours. Tang Lan didn't know how far he had run in this strange place before the soul-devouring ants behind him gradually gave up chasing him.

Tang Lan's face looked a little unhappy at this moment. He had been fighting and retreating all the way, and the consumption was extremely great.

There is only 20% of the existing soul power left, and time is urgently needed to recover his soul power.

"Those Soul Devouring Ants have retreated. According to a rough estimate, the number of Soul Devouring Ants I killed is less than one hundred of their entire colony."

"These guys are really powerful. It's hard to imagine any other soul beast in the world that can compete with them head-on."

At this moment, even Tang Lan had to give a very high evaluation to the Soul-Devouring Ant Colony.

Although Tang Lan felt that he was very strong, he could still fight even if a powerful soul beast of hundreds of thousands of years old was here.

But now, facing a large number of Soul-Devouring Ants, Tang Lan had no interest in fighting them at all.

These guys are fearless and ruthless. When they see something they can devour, they become like crazy. They are so terrifying that they can devour everything in a whirlwind.

It is not a wise move for soul beasts with low intelligence to fight as a group and rely entirely on the actions of the clan.

"In my time, there were countless powerful soul beasts, and the Soul Devouring Ants were just one of them."

"There are more than twenty soul beast species like this, but I don't know how many of them are still alive today."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We'd better leave here as soon as possible to avoid any changes."

As if sensing that there was something strange about this place, Ning Xian hurriedly reminded Tang Lan who was looking into the distance.

But soon, a voice of several breaths sounded around, and the other party said: "The third level of the Death God Trial, rescue the golden-winged Peng bird that is besieged by the Soul Devouring Ants."

"Giving up the mission will be considered a failure in the test. Your cultivation level will be reduced by ten levels, the Slaughter Blade will be taken back, and you will be expelled from the place of inheritance."

The other person's voice was still cold and without any emotion.

But at this moment, Tang Lan felt a surge of anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Humph, a mere god of death dares to put on airs here. I cannot let him control my will."
