“The Shield Emblem Ring’s effect is very powerful. It increases physical resistance when you have full HP.”

“The Steel Skull is a set that dropped after killing the Steel Ant Queen. I heard that the drop rate is very low. I didn’t expect it to drop so easily. It’s very suitable.”

“The other four items were dropped after killing the Red Fire Ant, the Purple Thunder Ant Queen, the Poison Water Ant Queen, and the Frost Ant Queen. This Overlord Set should be the strongest set in the Demon Ant Nest.”

Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up. If he wore this set of equipment, coupled with his attributes and skills, even if he was still a level nine First Realm martial artist, he would still be able to fight evenly with a martial artist below level seven Second Realm.

Moreover, he was about to obtain enough advancement materials to advance to the Second Realm.

At this moment, a report sounded from all the safety stations in the Demon Ant Nest.

“The experienced mystic realm king, the Steel Ant Queen, has been killed! The Steel Ant Queen has been killed!”

The many martial artists who were eating, resting, and chatting immediately stood up.

“Damn, the Ant Queen was killed? I was thinking of going to the challenge tomorrow to try.”

“Forget it. You’re only saying that because it’s dead. Who doesn’t know that your team went in arrogantly last time and escaped in disgrace?”

“Let’s go and take a look over there. Which big shot killed them?”

The warriors ran and quickly arrived in front of the Steel Ant Queen’s cave.

The black-clothed martial artist was still sitting here. Beside him was a pile of crushed can of beer.

However, the moment the Steel Ant Queen’s announcement sounded, he stopped drinking.

“He really defeated a Concealed Realm expert alone… This guy is not a scammer. He’s an expert!”

The black-clothed martial artist was shocked.

The announcement of the safety station would only be heard when a martial artist killed an experienced mystic realm king of the same level.

If any Second Realm or Third Realm martial artist ran over and killed the Steel Ant Queen, the announcement would not have sounded at all.

Therefore, he could now determine that Shield Ghost must be a level nine First Realm warrior with extremely high attributes, powerful skills, and excellent equipment.

Otherwise, it was impossible for him to deal with the Steel Ant Queen alone.

The black-clothed martial artist smiled and shook his head. He took out the communicator developed by the Germinal Organization and sent a short message to Manager Number Two. “Even I couldn’t do this when I was still a level nine First Realm martial artist. That brat Zhou Feng has really found a good example.”

“An expert.”

Manager number two saw this message and raised his eyebrows.

He and the black-clothed martial artist were good friends. This good friend of his had always had very high standards. He did not expect that his friend would really use the word “expert” to describe a martial artist.

“Is it possible to reel him in?” he replied.

“Difficult,” the black-clothed martial artist replied.

“Can’t you include more words in your response?”

“It’s difficult.”

Manager Number Two :”…”

He put away the communicator, stood up, and looked out the window with his hands behind his back. “It’s fine even if he’s a lone wolf. There are too few people around me who are capable. It would be good if I could get this Shield Ghost to work under me.”

However, no matter how powerful and fast Shield Ghost is, he’s far from reaching the standard to break the balance. He can only be nurtured as a potential trump card. What I need is immediate combat strength…



After killing the Steel Ant Queen, Lin Xuan strode out of the cave. Under the admiring gazes of the many martial artists, he quickly left and headed straight for the Red Fire Ant Nest.

The distance between the Steel Ant Nest and the Red Fire Ant Nest was rather far, in which there was a dry and cracked barren land in between.

Lin Xuan ran over without stopping at all.

Zhou Feng followed behind, panting, and was in danger.

Lin Xuan glanced at him with a helpless expression.

Was this what the other party meant by catching up to him? He was going to catch up to him physically?

Lin Xuan did not want to have too much interaction with this guy. He shook him off from afar and directly arrived at the cave of the Red Fire Ant Queen.

Just like how there was no one in front of the Steel Ant Queen’s cave, there was no one lined up here. Many martial artists were lining up in front of the other breeding ant caves.

The Steel Ant Queen’s defense was extremely high and difficult to kill.

The Red Fire Ant Queen had many fire techniques. Therefore, without an extremely high resistance to flames, one would not dare to casually challenge it.

Only when Lin Xuan walked in did the many martial artists react in confusion. “Is that Shield Ghost?”

“Damn, he just killed the Steel Ant Queen and directly came over to kill the Red Fire Ant Queen?”

“What? He was the one who killed the Steel Ant Queen?”

“That’s right. I have a good friend who is currently in the Steel Ant Nest. He saw Shield Ghost enter the cave and challenge the Steel Ant Queen with his own eyes and also saw Shield Ghost walk out.”

“Damn.”

The martial artists were filled with admiration and envy. If only they were as powerful as Shield Ghost.

Behind these martial artists, the black-clothed martial artist appeared again. This time, he was holding a Beijing Beer.

The black-clothed martial artist laughed heartily. After saying this, he sighed and said, “Looks like Shield Ghost is a very ambitious person. Does he plan on obtaining the Overlord Set?” “Unfortunately, the damn drop rate is too low. I tried to obtain it six times in the past but failed. I wonder if this guy can do it.”

After a while, Zhou Feng ran over and panted heavily.

“Damn… my idol actually didn’t rest and directly challenged the Red Fire Ant Queen. How awesome…”

In the cave.

Lin Xuan had changed into another set of equipment and was currently fighting a huge Red Fire Ant Queen.

The temperature of the cave behind the Red Fire Ant Queen was terrifyingly high. Even just by standing here, one would lose health points.

As for the Red Fire Ant Queen, it also had a fire halo that constantly burned its challenger.

Without high fire resistance provided by equipment or skills, it is very easy for one to quickly lose health points and ultimately die.

Of course, that was only possible for ordinary martial artists. Lin Xuan could easily obtain equipment with extremely high fire resistance.

When his second training avatar, the Steel Soldier Ant, attacked the Red Fire Ant Nest, it had killed a large number of them and accumulated a lot of equipment.

There was a small chance that the Red Fire Soldier Ant would drop the “Fire Shield” Set. The four parts of that set could provide a fire resistance of up to 60%, but resistance to other elements were negative.

An ordinary martial artist would need at least three to five months to obtain this set of equipment.

After putting on the Fire Shield Set and adding on his attributes and skills, [Basic Fire Resistance], Lin Xuan stood in the sea of flames created by the Red Fire Ant Queen and felt warm and comfortable.

However, every time the flames burned Lin Xuan, they would reflect 50 True Damage back.

The health points of the Red Fire Ant Queen simply dropped like melting ice.

11 minutes and 49 seconds later, the Red Fire Ant Queen died!

The entire Demon Ant Nest’s safety station sounded again.

“The experienced mystic realm king, the Red Fire Ant Queen, has been killed!”

The cultivators, who had just calmed down, stood up again.

“Damn! The Steel Ant Queen and the Red Fire Ant Queen both disappeared?”

“Could it be that Shield Ghost? I’ll ask my friend who’s at the Red Fire Ant Nest.”

“Stop asking. It’s Shield Ghost! He’s still killing by himself like before! This person is too freaking powerful!”

The martial artists of the Flying Peng Team, the Wind-Chasing Team, and the Big Bird Rotation Team were even more dumbfounded.

They were currently training in the outer layer of the Purple Lightning Ant Nest, working hard to kill the Purple Lightning Worker Ants and the Purple Lightning Soldier Ants.

In the end, the Steel Ant Queen and the Red Fire Ant Queen were both killed by Shield Ghost.

“The highest level among us is only level three First Realm. The other party is already strong enough to kill the Ant Queen!” The captain of the Flying Peng team sighed repeatedly.

“How ridiculous! You’re off the charts!” The Wind-Chasing Team was helpless.

The captain of the Big Bird Rotation Team touched his sexy chest hair and smacked his lips. “Do you think Shield Ghost likes men? I’m so handsome. If I go and beg him to be my sugar daddy, will he agree?”

The three team members rolled their eyes crazily.

The Chest Hair Captain shook his head regretfully. “Forget it. I better find a rich woman to be my sugar mommy. Men are all pigs. I don’t trust them one bit.”
