BSI Chapter 254 Unexpected Joy
Chapter 254 Unexpected Joy
After an unknown period of time.
Zhao Mu woke up with a headache. It was as if someone had dug out his brain and stuffed it into a dryer for an entire day before putting it back in. It was extremely uncomfortable.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Zhao Mu asked the empty surroundings.
Jin Fei's figure slowly appeared.
"Young Master, you've been unconscious for 14 hours."
Zhao Mu covered his head and stood up. He opened his storage ring and took out a pill to replenish his spiritual energy.
When he was unconscious, his body automatically absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. However, it was far from enough to replenish himself to his peak state. It was more efficient to rely on pills.
"Although the immortal artifact is strong, it can't be used casually. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to sleep for half a day after using it."
Of course, there was another way, which was to limit the output of spiritual energy.
For example, every time he used the immortal artifact, he could only use half of his spiritual energy. This way, although the power would be greatly reduced, it was still better than lying dead after using it.
In addition, Zhao Mu thought of another method.
It was to condense a Spirit Storage Array on the immortal artifact. Usually, the immortal artifact could automatically absorb spiritual energy to recharge itself. When it was used, the stored spiritual energy would be consumed in one go, thus reducing the consumption of spiritual energy.
For Zhao Mu, who was a Formation Grandmaster, setting up such an array was a piece of cake.
Overall, Zhao Mu felt that although it could not completely solve the problem, it could still be used.
"Where is this?" Zhao Mu asked again.
"This is a few hundred miles away from the Black Pool. It's a safe zone. Young Master, you caused too much of a commotion and attracted a lot of demonic beasts. Although their strength is not worth mentioning, I still brought you out to prevent them from disturbing your plan."
"En, you did well."
Zhao Mu praised, then sat cross-legged and began to heal his injuries.
The spiritual energy in his body was drained, and there were some side effects. His meridians and Nascent Soul were damaged to varying degrees. Even with his recovery ability, he still needed to rest for two days to completely recover to his peak state.
In the next two days, Zhao Mu did not go anywhere. He hid in a cave to heal his injuries and condense a Spirit Storage Array on the immortal artifact.
After his injuries were completely healed, he went on the road again and headed west.
Zhao Mu kept the Supreme Profound Sun Sword in his body. This thing was more suitable as a life-saving trump card.
Zhao Mu traveled as fast as lightning and entered another demon territory.
There were overlapping mountains and cave entrances everywhere. There was a huge nest underground, and millions of ants lived there.
Those weren't ordinary ants, but a type of low-level demonic beast called the Taotie Ant. This type of demonic beast wasn't strong, but there were a lot of them. Moreover, their appetites were huge, and they could eat a lot. Everywhere they went, even the mountains would become food.
The large number of caves that appeared on the mountain peak were the traces of the Taotie Ants' gnawing. This group of Taotie Ants should have just moved here not long ago. Once they had gnawed on this mountain range, they would continue to move to other places.

. If the Taotie Ants targeted the Saint Prime Devil Sect, it would be in big trouble.
Even if there was a protective array to resist the Taotie Ants' gnawing, the Taotie Ants' numbers were huge, and they would cause a lot of damage to the array. They might even go underground and gnaw at the Saint Prime Devil Sect. By then, the entire sect would be in danger of collapsing.
"Since I've encountered them, I might as well get rid of them."
Zhao Mu landed at the entrance of a cave. He did not go in to fight the Taotie Ants directly. Instead, he gathered his strength and circulated his Fiery Sun Divine Power. Soon, Zhao Mu's body emitted a dazzling light like the sun, bringing endless light and heat.
Zhao Mu took a deep breath and casually opened his mouth, spitting out an extremely scorching heat wave. The heat wave instantly gushed into the cave. Through the interconnected underground tunnels, the heat wave quickly spread throughout the interior of the mountain range.
Soon, a burnt smell wafted up from the ground.
Zhao Mu only stopped after a few minutes of heatwave attack.
The Taotie Ants were not strong, and the heatwave of over a thousand degrees was enough to wipe them all out.
"Jin Fei, check if there are any ants that escaped the net."
Jin Fei responded, and her figure disappeared again.
Soon, Jin Fei appeared again and said, "Young Master, there's only one ant queen left. Those Taotie Ants used their bodies to form a meat wall and blocked the heatwave attack for the ant queen."
The ant queen … had to be eliminated. Otherwise, if the ant queen did not die, the entire Taotie Ant colony would rise again.
"Lead the way."
"Yes, Young Master."
Under Jin Fei's lead, Zhao Mu flew into the cave and went all the way to the bottom of the nest. Soon, he saw the ant queen.
It was an incomparably fat insect that was as tall as a two-story building. Its body was white, and it was filled with juice that was rich in spiritual energy. Moreover, its purity was extremely high, and it was a rare alchemy material.
Zhao Mu was a little tempted, but this ant queen was too ugly, and he could not bring himself to do it.
He did not want this kind of natural treasure.
Zhao Mu shook his head, and a ball of flames appeared in his palm. He blasted it and instantly burned the ant queen to ashes.
The juice exploded and turned into rolling Spirit Qi that spread out.
Although Zhao Mu did not want to absorb it, he took out his Immortal Artifacts and took the opportunity to fill the Spirit Storage Array with Spirit Qi.
After absorbing all the Spirit Qi, Zhao Mu was about to leave when Jin Fei called out to him.
"Young Master, there seems to be a very strong Spirit Qi fluctuation underground. It seems to be hiding something."
Oh?
"Open the way."
Jin Fei nodded and drew a line in the air, directly tearing the void and creating a spatial tunnel that led to the depths of the ground.
What a powerful technique!
Jin Fei's control of the power of space should be far superior to An Zixuan's.
However, it was normal. After all, she was an expert from the Great Thousand World and an old minister of the king. Even if she was suppressed by the power of the Sly Dao and her strength had been greatly weakened, she was still outstanding in the Immortal Martial Continent.
When he returned, he could introduce her to An Zixuan and let An Zixuan cultivate with her for a period of time. Perhaps it would be helpful.
Without thinking too much, Zhao Mu followed Jin Fei's footsteps and jumped down, passing through space and arriving at a hidden, sealed cave deep underground.
The cave was not big, and the air was humid and hot, with many plants growing.
No, not plants.
Zhao Mu's eyes lit up.
This was clearly a ground full of spirit Spirit Qi!
At a glance, there were at least several thousand stalks of high quality spirit medicine. Among them, there were also many auras of precious medicine. There were even a few stalks of precious medicine with extremely powerful auras. They had already reached the level of high quality precious medicine.
Normally, even a single stalk of precious medicine was hard to find, yet this place actually hid so many of them. It was truly a pleasant surprise.
Zhao Mu was about to go forward to pick it when Jin Fei stopped her.
"Young master, be careful. There's something fishy about this place."
