Chapter 603: The Queen Ant's Thunder Tribulation (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)

Of course, this complex emotion did not affect Sun Mingsheng's actions at all. After collecting all the third-level spiritual materials and confirming that there were no omissions, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the distance, continuing to look for the next target.

After swallowing the fire lizard's demon pill, the black-striped ant queen who had been in the ant nest did not show any obvious performance, and once again arrogantly commanded the ant colony under her command to explore the surroundings.

Sun Mingsheng's first goal on this trip was naturally to find fire-attributed monsters, but once he encountered other third-level low-grade monsters, he would not let them go in vain.

In addition, the most delicious part of each monster corpse must be collected and prepared to be prepared to find a spiritual chef family according to the description in the jade slip in the future to make spiritual soup to improve his own cultivation.

This dense forest in the north of Song State's cultivation world is indeed full of dangers, but for a qualified Jindan stage cultivator, it is not difficult to ensure his own life as long as he does not take risks.

Sun Mingsheng basically maintained a relatively cautious state along the way. Although he inevitably encountered some powerful enemies and was a little embarrassed, he never suffered a serious injury or devastating blow.

The most dangerous time was when he broke into the territory of a group of demon wolves. Under the leadership of four third-level low-grade demon wolves, one male and three females, more than a hundred second-level demon wolves kept surrounding and biting him from all sides, which was quite cruel.

Sun Mingsheng also managed to escape the siege and save his life with the help of a large number of third-level low-grade treasure talismans after paying some price.

Of course, his harvest was also quite rich. He killed five third-level low-grade demon beasts in different regions, picked 18 third-level low-grade spiritual medicines of different years and types, three third-level spiritual materials, and six various spiritual fruits.

The most precious among them must be five demon pills. This special spiritual object, which is widely used in the world of cultivation, has always been in a state of deficit. Shops in major markets are open to buy at high prices.

For Jindan-stage cultivators, these high-quality demon pills are the real hard currency compared to spirit stones.

Unfortunately, all the demon pills obtained on this trip were fed to the black-striped ant queen, who was already in the second-level upper grade, by Sun Mingsheng as the foundation for promotion.

According to common sense, for most second-level demon beasts, two to three demon pills can promote them to the third level according to their own cultivation foundation and bloodline.

But for some unknown reason, the black-striped ant queen swallowed six third-level lower-grade demon beast golden pills in succession before falling into a deep sleep, showing signs of promotion to the third level.

There are generally three stages for the second-level spirit insect to be promoted to the third level. The first stage: after swallowing enough power, it falls into a deep sleep and begins to achieve power promotion; the second stage: once awakened, it will face the test of thunder tribulation, and the number of thunder tribulations for spirit insects and spirit beasts is also different.

The third stage: only after surviving the thunder tribulation, it will be officially promoted to the third-level lower-grade spirit insect under the reward of participating in the thunder tribulation.

"The black-striped ant queen has a weak body and is not good at defense. She can only rely on a relatively large number of black-striped ants to form a defense layer. Once the ant colony is wiped out under the thunder tribulation, it also means the failure of the queen's promotion."

Sun Mingsheng kept recalling a few characteristics of the black-striped ant queen, and at the same time, a worried look appeared on his face.

Fortunately, he has also begun to consciously cultivate the ant colony at great expense these days, especially the blood food of a large number of third-level monsters, which makes these surviving black-striped ants more powerful.

Although the grade of these black-striped ants has not been significantly improved, the size of each one has increased significantly, and each one looks more ferocious.

"I wonder how many thunder tribulations this black-striped ant will encounter when it is promoted to the third level?"

"Although there is no fixed rule to follow for the number of thunder tribulations when different monsters are promoted to the third level, it is ultimately inseparable from the potential and bloodline in the future."

According to Sun Mingsheng's guess, the third-level thunder tribulation of the black-striped ant queen is most likely the three thunder tribulations with the least number.

Since the black-striped ant queen fell into a deep sleep, Sun Mingsheng began to walk towards the outskirts of the dense forest, preparing to choose a suitable place for the queen to pass the tribulation.

The thunder tribulation is caused by the way of heaven and earth. Spiritual insects, spirit beasts, and demon beasts can only rely on their own strength to pass the tribulation. As the master, he cannot interfere at all.

As for other demon beasts and spirit insects, they will naturally not interfere in the process of the thunder tribulation. Once the thunder tribulation is angered, they will be attacked by it and become victims of the thunder tribulation.

This is not alarmist, but a lesson left by countless cultivators and demon beasts with their lives in the long river of history.

If there is really an irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides, most of the time they will wait until the tribulation is completed and the vitality is seriously injured before choosing to hunt.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the day and night alternate, the cold and heat are divided, and when white snowflakes appear outside and winter officially appears, the queen ant finally wakes up.

After refining all the demon cores in the bodies of six third-grade low-grade demon beasts, the size of the black-striped ant queen itself has been significantly increased compared to before. At the same time, a layer of shell with different color patterns began to appear on its back to provide a certain layer of defense.

However, in the world of cultivation, low-level spiritual beasts such as black-striped ants usually hover within the first level, and those who successfully advance to the second level are quite rare. There is no news about the third-level black-striped ants, so there are naturally few descriptions of the third-level black-striped ant queen. Sun Mingsheng is not too clear whether this layer of shell is originally there or mutated.

However, for Sun Mingsheng, this small change will bring benefits after all, and may soon become the last defense circle to survive the thunder tribulation.

"Boom boom boom"

The black-striped ant queen just woke up from her slumber and was still in a state of adapting to her new strength. Layers of black clouds began to gather.

The originally clear sky immediately turned dark under the cover of layers of black clouds and lightning. There was a feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city, and the oppression brought to people was irresistible from the inside out.

Although Sun Mingsheng had been condensing the golden elixir for many years, he still trembled from the heart when he felt the power of the heavenly tribulation up close for the first time.

The black-striped ant queen, as the core of the thunder tribulation, was trembling all over at this time, and seemed to have not yet woken up from the shock.

"Why don't you wake up quickly?"

Sun Mingsheng used his spiritual consciousness to transform into a layer of coolness, constantly soothing the queen ant's position, trying to make her recover as soon as possible.

"Buzz buzz buzz"

The black-striped ant queen came to her senses, and immediately controlled the huge number of ants to attach to her body one by one, forming a defense layer. This is also a unique way for the ant colony to survive the thunder tribulation, which is recognized by the way of heaven.
