Chapter 54

Ten days later.

Inside a large cave.

Lu Changsheng looked at the one hundred exotic Fire Ants that had hatched, quite happy.

Sure enough, when the environment had a suitable temperature, the ant eggs hatched quickly.

These ant eggs catalyzed by Source Energy Points were obviously stronger after hatching.

Each one was much larger than an ordinary Fire Ant.

Their strength probably reached the peak of Tier 1, and they were not far from Tier 2.

These past few days, he had not acted rashly.

Ants could bite an elephant to death; if the opponent had several Tier 3 exotic beasts and united a large number of Fire Armor Scorpions to surround and attack him, he could only temporarily avoid the edge.

Now that the exotic Fire Ants had hatched, he prepared to clear the edge area first.

Then, Lu Changsheng led a large number of ant tribes and marched toward the central region.

Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived inside the volcano, and the surrounding air became increasingly hot.

He led the ant tribe to explore slowly forward.

Before long, he made a discovery.

He saw a large piece of Fire Crystal Stone embedded in the rock wall in front.

These Fire Crystal Stones were obviously brighter than those outside.

Lu Changsheng immediately ordered the ant colony to dig it out and bring it to his side.

"Intermediate Fire Crystal Stone detected, absorb?"

The panel prompt sound rang out again.

"Absorb."

Lu Changsheng thought silently.

"Source Energy Points +5."

"Source Energy Points +5."

It wasn't until he absorbed six pieces that he stopped.

Just entering to explore, he had a harvest, which greatly increased his confidence.

As long as he scraped the resources in the volcano clean, it would be enough to increase his strength by another notch.

Thinking of this, he became full of energy.

Lu Changsheng led the ant colony and set off on the road again in a mighty manner.

The commotion caused by the ant colony was huge, and a large number of exotic beasts nearby were alarmed and hid one after another.

A cup of tea time later.

When Lu Changsheng led the ant colony to a mountain wall, suddenly, a large group of Fire Armor Scorpions appeared in front.

The leader was extremely huge, bright red all over, and filled with fire baleful aura.

Obviously, it was a Tier 3 Beast King.

The scorpion group behind was connected in a mighty manner, and the end could not be seen.

Seeing the Scorpion King appear, Lu Changsheng did not hesitate.

He immediately let the Ant Queen command the army and rushed up.

"Chi, chi, chi..."

Before long, both sides collided violently, like a tide.

All kinds of limbs flew, and corpses fell toward the bottom of the volcano one after another.

Just at the first contact, the Fire Ants fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Tier 2 exotic beasts were still much stronger.

However, with the ant colony blocking, Lu Changsheng was temporarily freed up.

That Tier 3 Beast King also stared at Lu Changsheng, sensing a huge threat from him.

For a time, it did not launch an attack.

At this time, Lu Changsheng's body flashed, and he immediately killed him.

The speed was so fast that it formed an afterimage.

When he arrived in front of the Scorpion King, he slapped forward with a claw.

Even in the void, there were bursts of sonic booms.

The Tier 3 Scorpion King also stabbed a tail needle toward Lu Changsheng's claw.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Both sides collided violently, and intense fluctuations spread out, with flying sand and rocks all around, and dust rolling.

Under one blow, the Scorpion King retreated more than ten meters directly, roaring with a face full of fear in its eyes.

Lu Changsheng was unmoved, as stable as Mount Tai.

With his strength, he was much stronger than this Tier 3 Scorpion King.

After testing the opponent's strength, he did not hold back.

He directly activated the skill 【Soul Pain Strike】.

A strange fluctuation was born from the void, turned into a fine needle, and pierced toward the Scorpion King's mind abruptly.

"Ow, ow, ow..."

The Scorpion King suddenly held its head with both claws and wailed in pain.

After the innate skill was issued, Lu Changsheng felt that his spirit was somewhat exhausted; the consumption was indeed not small, but the effect was also extremely obvious.

He seized the opportunity and rushed up quickly.

Arriving in front of the opponent, he extended his sharp claws and grabbed forward abruptly.

"Crack..."

Before the Scorpion King could react from the pain, its head was directly sliced open with a huge gap.

Disgusting juice splashed all over the floor.

Before long, the Scorpion King fell on the stone platform and stopped breathing.

Under one blow, a Tier 3 exotic beast was slain. The innate skill was indeed powerful.

After verifying the power for the first time, Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied.

However, with his mental power, he could only launch three attacks for the time being, which was enough as a trump card.

Then, Lu Changsheng quickly killed toward the scorpion group.

"Pa, pa, pa..."

Every time he made a move, a large number of Fire Armor Scorpions died.

Soon the corpses piled up on the stone platform, and all kinds of body fluids flowed wantonly, the smell was extremely disgusting.

Seeing that the King was already dead, the scorpion group retreated toward the rear like a tide.

Before long, only a pile of corpses was left on the field.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng set off on the road again with the ant colony.

Before long, he arrived in a nest, where there were still a large number of Fire Armor Scorpion larvae.

Obviously, they were all from the scorpion group just now.

After he commanded the ant colony to clean up these larvae, he entrenched himself here.

The temperature here was very suitable for the Fire Ants to multiply.

Lu Changsheng prepared to use this place as a bridgehead and then slowly flatten the entire volcano in the future.

Presumably, there were quite a few Tier 3 Scorpion Kings nearby, and it was unrealistic to kill them all at once.

For the next few days.

Lu Changsheng kept sending the ant colony to explore nearby and brought some Fire Crystal Stones back to the nest.

All of them were absorbed by himself.

Everything was slowly getting on the right track.

Changping County.

Late at night.

Lu Changsheng stood in the study, looking at the Source Energy Points on the panel, his eyes burning.

Source Energy Points: 150.

The resources in his hand were rich again.

He decided to add points to improve immediately and fill the final defensive shortcoming.

The plus sign behind 【Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt】 was still gray.

The status showing insufficient Source Energy Points made him quite puzzled.

"Could it be that the Source Energy Points required for supernatural mastery are several times more than the previous level of improvement?"

But thinking about it, it was considered normal.

As long as it was improved to supernatural mastery, it was equivalent to breaking the Refining Meat limit and reaching another stage.

It was reasonable to need several times the Source Energy Points.

A moment later, he put away his thoughts.

He clicked toward the plus sign behind 【Golden Bell Cover】.

After clicking several times in a row, he filled this technique directly.

【Golden Bell Cover】 (Supernatural Mastery).

Filling a low-tier technique didn't consume much.

After he filled the 【Thirteen Great Guards Cross Refinement Skill】 and several other body-refining techniques, he clicked the fusion button directly.

"Technique is fusing and upgrading..."

"New technique has been formed, rename?"

In his mind, Lu Changsheng seemed to see a large bell descending, with amazing power.

"Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover."

He named it directly.

Skill: 【Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover】 (Mastery).

Note: A high-tier technique fused and deduced from several body-refining skills; when cultivated to perfection, blood essence turns into a large bell to firmly cover oneself, with considerable defensive power.

Technique Rating: Three Stars.

"Add points, add points..."

Lu Changsheng clicked crazily.

A moment later.

Skill: 【Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover】 (Perfect).

Source Energy Points: 30.

After deducing 【Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover】 and adding it to perfection, it cost more than one hundred points in total.

However, the effect was also extremely astonishing.

Lu Changsheng lightly urged the blood essence in his body.

"Hum..."

It seemed as if a tiger roar sounded, and under the gathering of blood essence, a large bell was formed, surrounding himself in it.

He took out the long blade from his waist and slashed quickly toward the large bell formed by blood essence.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of gold and iron rang in the room, which was very harsh.

"Such strong defensive power."

At this moment, his final shortcoming had been filled.

Attack, defense, and speed had all reached the Refining Meat limit.

Throughout history, almost very few people had cultivated them to perfection at the same time.
