Chapter 413: Protector Beast Hanxi

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

A day later, Zong Shou stood on the seven-star spell altar. 5 balls of silver light circled around his body.

One of them was that mutated human-shaped ant queen whilst the rest were 8 winged flying ants which were split out from its body. The speed was slightly slower than the former but it could complete with the lightning winged flood dragon when it went full speed.

At this moment, the number of evil demon crystals stacked on it had reached over ten. Amongst which there were 2 grade 7 evil crystals which were obtained by those 4 8 winged flying ants.

Just this alone could exchange for at least 5 thousand and above merit points.

However, at this moment, Zong Shou placed most of his focus on that mutated ant queen. The ant queen stopped resisting when he sent his intent it and he could finally come into contact with a portion of the ant queen’s thoughts.

“It can only split 6 of them at the grade 7 realm. It feels that it would reach its limit after splitting 2 out. If it reproduces more, it would fall in grade. However, in the future, each grade it increases it can increase the number of descendants...”

After hearing Zong Shou’s words, for some reason, Zong Yuan felt relieved.

He didn’t dare imagine what would the world be like if such a strong being could reproduce endlessly.

At this moment those 4 eight winged saint fire silver ants, although they were at the peak of grade 6. However, in terms of combat strength, no one grade 7 or below could beat them.

That ant queen had a few natural innate buffs. As long as it was around, they could be seen as grade 7, in pure combat power they were even much higher than Zong Yuan.

Only Zong Shou and the lightning winged flood dragon could go up against them.

Zone Shou’s face didn’t show any disappointment. The living beings in the world mostly followed such a law.

Those who were slightly weaker, their reproductive ability would be shocking like the human race and demon fire crystal ants. Those whose bodily strength was strong would find it tough to reproduce like those rare god beasts.

This mutated silver ant queen was also quite exceptional compared to same grade god beasts.

The children it gave birth to were not weak. The decrease in reproduction ability was something foreseeable. There was no way it could make another ten thousand strong ant wave.

Then he mocked himself, that mutated ant queen didn’t let him down.

Just one of it along with its 6 descendants could sweep all his protector beasts and bodyguards! As long as he was safe, it would mean he would have 7 grade 7 experts beside him.

Not only did it not disappoint him, but it had also given him a large surprise.

With such a value, the thoughts about killing it that rose up previously had disappeared.

This ant queen had displayed enough value.

Zong Shou stretched out his hand, that saint fire ant queen landed on his palm.

It was calm, there weren’t any special feelings in its eyes. Quietly standing still like it was waiting for its fate.

The Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman at the center of its brows was shining. This was the sign that the celestial talisman had merged into the ant queen’s soul.

Different from before when Zong Shou needed to go all out to suppress it. Now he just needed one thought and he could decide its life or death.

...although there was the danger of it coming back to bite him, its strength made it tough for him to give up on it. What a tough decision.

Frowning as he went into deep thought, following which Zong Shou laughed.

In the last life and this, he had gone through numerous life and death battles. In the brink of survival, he searched for the pinnacle of the sword path. Why would he be afraid of being affected by a spiritual pet whose soul he already controlled?

If there was a day when this mutated ant queen successfully countered him, then he deserved it. Why did he have to fear so much?

He didn’t hesitate anymore, another bit of Essence blood dropping at the center of its brows.

“Today I’ll give you a name. Your body is bright like a flame, born from demon flames. From now on you will be called Hanxi. It means the first bit of sunlight in the morning...”

Zong Shou’s gaze was serious. This was the first time he properly named his spiritual pet.

The eyes of the saint fire ant also moved as it kept the Essence blood into its body.

To beasts, its name was the same as its identity and fate. Imprinting on its beast crystal, merging into its bloodline and connected to its soul. High-grade spiritual masters could curse the beasts if they learned its name.

Seeing this saint fire ant queen not resist, Zong Shou smiled. When he raised his head, he saw the lightning winged flood dragon and rising moon lion look over jealously. Only the demon eye silver bear didn’t react.

Zong Shou laughed involuntarily. Little Zhi and Little Lei were just names he casually thought of. He couldn’t make those names the true names of his protector beasts.

On the side of Zong Yuan, he was quite surprised. He didn’t know that his ruler could think of such an elegant name. He was really afraid Zong Shou would name it something little Little Silver Little White. As the Gantian Mountain Monster king, if people found out, he would be laughed at by the whole world.

Just as he just placed down the worry, he heard Zong Shou pat on the head of that saint fire ant queen, “You can’t let others know about your real name. Usually, I shall just call you Little White!”

Seeing that a fierce glow appeared in the eyes of the saint fire ant queen, Zong Shou was startled. Laughing, “If you are unhappy with Little White then how about Little Fire, as Long as not Little Saint...”

When Zong Yuan heard that he instantly facepalmed, shaking his head and sighing.

...

“It is already the 6th day...”

Outside the common people path vast habitat, within the spirit ocean. Xuanye was frowning as she looked towards the raging spirit river.

Since those 2 people had entered, 6 days have passed. A full 144 hours. To this date, she still hadn’t seen the two of them exit.

If it was anyone else, they most likely had to face a bad situation. If they were lucky they would be saved by the Sect seniors. If not, they would probably in the stomachs of some beasts or have the blood snatched by evil beings.

However, Xuanye knew that these 2 people were probably living well and they were most probably extremely well fed.

Starting from the 4th day, no beast or evil was being of value that appeared on this spirit river. There were no signs of anything grade 6 and above. It resulted in a sharp drop in her group’s collected merit points.

Only Xuanye found it hard to believe. Those 2 people were just at the peak of grade 6. How could they block up an entire spirit river?

She knew that within the spirit river, if one wasn’t st grade 7, one definitely wouldn’t be able to survive within. To be able to survive like fish to water, there at least needed to be 4 grade 7 and above experts working together.

Did he hide his strength? Impossible. Her bloodline specialty was having a spiritual eye. All cultivation methods to hide one’s strength wouldn’t work in front of her.

He knew that although that 15-year-old spirit master displayed an average looking face, he was handsome.

The aura he gave off was also fake. However, within it, he did have Peak Return to Sun soul power. His martial path was also at a high level.

Thinking about it for a moment, Xuanye’s body moved as she walked towards the upstream of that spirit river.

When Chenrou beside her saw that, she was startled. “Where does my senior sister want to go? You want to go to the upstream of this river?”

Xuanye slightly nodded her head. Be it for the safety considerations of those 2 people from the sect or to search for the reason why this spirit river was g so weirdly, she had to go investigate.

Seeing that Yongqin pouted and said disapprovingly, “Xuanye you are going? I think most probably the grade 8 experts of the sect helped to save those 2 people you mentioned whilst also cleaning up this spirit river. How annoying, the merit points today is not even half of last time...”

Her tone was filled with hate as she unwillingly slashed about with her sword, giving rise to seven colored rings of light.

Xuanye laughed involuntarily but didn’t show any intention of giving up. She had thought about such a possibility before. However, she had to do it. No matter what she had to take a look to find out.

In her heart, she had an even more preposterous thought. Were those people the ones who stayed into 1st Courtyard A, the one her junior Sister mentioned was called Tanqiu?

“Ahchoo!”

On the spell altar, Zong Shou sneezed out. The current him was different from

The tired state he was in a few days ago.

Leisurely lying on a corner of the seven-star spell altar, his back lying on a railing, his hand holding a book and reading carefully.

...it was the Vairocana Mandala! Dari saint virtue sutra!

The current Little Saint, no! Hanxi has already split out the 6th saint fire silver ant.

6 flying ants turning into 6 specks of light along with the lightning winged flood dragon. Even without Hanxi fighting, they had locked down this part of the void.

As Long as a grade 6 beast or evil demon entered, the silver light will circle over. In just a blink of an eye, it would end their lives. Zong Shou didn’t need to personally collect the crystal or valuable materials. These saint fire silver ants will help him split them out. A portion will be burnt by the silver-white flames to become Essence energy to replenish their energy.

Occasionally when they faced grade 7 beasts, that was when Hanxi would help. Often ending its life in one shot!

Zong Yuan stopped joining in anymore, he only found some beasts around to fight one against five to train his spear techniques.

As for the rising moon lion, it originally wanted to laze around. But Zong Shou kicked it off the spell altar and helplessly it could only find opponents to fight. It was lazy, no fighting strong ones and just finding weak ones so that it could bully them.

Zong Shou was lazy to care. In those few days, he had been researching and studying those sutras and books he borrowed from the Book Hiding Building.

The one he focused on most was the Vairocana Mandala!

Flipping open the last page, Zong Shou rubbed his nose in confusion.

“Who is thinking about me again? Oh, right we have been here 6 days. Ruoshui should be okay but Chuxue is probably really anxious. Speaking of which we should return...”

Looking in front of him, only to see that large stacks of things were piled up on the seven-star spell altar.

On a rough estimate, there were around 40 thousand. Not only his diamond realm dari rulai mantra, but even Zong Yuan’s ten thousand from lightning sutra could be exchanged for already.
