CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 514: NINE YIN HEAVEN CENTIPEDE

"Alright, I guarantee to complete the task in the shortest time possible!" Mountain Master Liang Yun seemed very excited and immediately ordered his swordsmen, "Each of you take a bucket of Realgar medicine wine, collaborate and work together, pour it on the ground at the fastest speed, and draw a full circle using this as the center."

As soon as he finished his words, he himself was already carrying two large buckets of Realgar medicine wine and flew away with his sword towards the distance.

The other few trusted subordinates, all Sword Saint Level experts, also each carried a bucket of Realgar medicine wine and flew out in different directions.

Chu Feng was like Zhuge Liang sitting inside the Eight Trigrams Array, laying down a heaven and earth net.

Making it impossible for the ’Medicine thief’ to escape even with wings.

In only half a quarter of an hour, Mountain Master Liang Yun and the others had returned to report back. They had poured the medicine wine as Chu Feng commanded, drawing an extra-large circle.

"Chu Feng, although the Realgar medicine wine has been poured, this ’Medicine thief’ digs tunnels underground. Your Realgar medicine wine can at most seep only half a foot deep. If it escapes by burrowing underground, wouldn’t we be unable to catch it?"

Mountain Master Liang Yun had lost a total of thirteen precious Medicinal Herbs in thirteen days straight.

And their age was basically over ten thousand years.

Among them, two were even at the hundred thousand years level.

He couldn’t wait another moment, wishing he could catch that detestable Medicine thief right away.

If it were to escape, tomorrow it would consume another precious Medicinal Herb.

"Mountain Master Liang Yun, rest assured, I am even more anxious about catching the thief than you are. If we can’t catch it, I too will have to face punishment."

"Others’ Realgar medicine wine can only seep half a foot underground, mine, however, can penetrate over a hundred feet. Typically, anything below fifty feet is the rock layer. Unless it really has some astonishing abilities, there’s no way it can escape."

"Even if it really could tunnel through the rock layer, I have ways to deal with it!"

Chu Feng appeared very confident as the ’Medicine thief’ had ingested the aromatic grass and got glow powder on it. It was effectively the same as having a tracking device on itself.

No matter where it fled to, as long as it was still on Medicine Mountain, Chu Feng would be able to catch it.

"Oh no, this cave is too deep! And it’s sloping downward, who knows where it leads to. To excavate it in a short time, I’m afraid it’s extremely difficult," complained several Medicinal Herb Mountain experts who have been digging with all their strength.

In just this short span of time, they had already dug nearly forty meters.

Such a shocking pace could not be deemed slow.

But as the cave extended deeper, their pace also slowed down more and more. The workload was simply too enormous.

"My Realgar medicine wine can guarantee its effectiveness for over seven days. It’s just that I’ve already spent two days on this task and only have one day left, which will definitely not be enough."

"This won’t do, I must think of another way!"

Chu Feng’s brows were tightly furrowed, brute force, definitely won’t work.

"That’s right, my ten Crimson Fire Ant Queens, this time they should be able to be put to use!" Chu Feng suddenly thought of an excellent idea.

Last time, in order to break new ground, he had temporarily evolved ten Crimson Fire Ant Queens.

They have been kept within his own Medicine Field ever since.

Now was the perfect time to bring them over, let them drill into the cave, and deal with the ’Medicine thief.’ At the very least, they could force it out.

Having thought of this, Chu Feng had Mountain Master Liang Yun dispatch people to keep watch over this area.

Meanwhile, he himself quickly rushed back to his Medicinal Field and ’invited’ the Crimson Fire Ants over.

...

Three hours later, Chu Feng returned, his head covered in sweat.

He was seen carrying a large wooden box on his back, looking very mysterious.

"Chu Feng, what brilliant idea have you come up with this time? And what Magical Treasure have you brought back?" Mountain Master Liang Yun came over with a face full of curiosity.

Unknowingly, Chu Feng, who was initially looked down upon by him, had now become the backbone of the operation.

Mountain Master Liang Yun looked up to Chu Feng as his leader.

"It’s not some powerful magical treasure, but a group of Soldier Ants! One thing suppresses another, and I believe with this group of Soldier Ants, we will be able to force that ’Medicine thief’ out. When the time comes, I hope Mountain Master Liang Yun will lead the experts of Precious Medicine Mountain to assist me in capturing it in one fell swoop."

Chu Feng was also very curious, what kind of snake or insect could be so powerful?

It was capable of swallowing a medicinal herb that’s over ten thousand years old in one day.

You must know, even a person at Sword God Level wouldn’t dare to do this. Because a medicinal herb that’s over ten thousand years old, the energy it contains is truly too terrifying.

Swallowing one such herb a day, one would definitely be bloated to death.

It can be certain that the digestive power of this medicine thief must be extremely strong.

Ants can almost suppress all kinds of insects.

Whether it’s mosquitoes, flies, or even ferocious mantises. Or cold poison vicious snakes, they are all very afraid of ants.

Because they are united, they are brave.

Ant armies are generally very large, endlessly emerging and impossible to kill completely. No matter how strong you are, if an ant bites you, you’ll turn into a skeleton.

"Go in!"

Chu Feng commanded ten Ant Queens, leading the Crimson Fire Ant Army into that cave.

It took nearly half an hour for the Ant Army to crawl out of the large wooden box entirely because there were so many of them.

These were only the worker ants, the others hadn’t arrived yet.

Otherwise, one large wooden box simply wouldn’t be able to hold them all.

"Shasha shasha..."

As the Ant Army entered the cave, a series of subtle sounds echoed.

Mountain Master Liang Yun and the others were on high alert.

At the same time, they looked at Chu Feng with eyes of admiration and surprise. They didn’t expect Chu Feng to possess such mysterious abilities. Sword Control is quite common, but controlling ants, this was their first time seeing it.

After the Crimson Fire Ant Army entered the cave, there was always no movement.

Everyone could not help but feel a bit disappointed.

"Chu Feng, your Ant Soldiers might be effective against ordinary snakes and insects. But what we’re dealing with this time is not a common snake or insect, I’m afraid they won’t be of much use," Mountain Master Liang Yun couldn’t help saying.

"Just wait!"

Chu Feng sat cross-legged next to the entrance of the cave, closing his eyes and quietly waiting.

Controlling ten Ant Queens, a wisp of his Divine Sense was also attached to the bodies of the Ant Queens, following them into the depths of the cave.

This cave turned out to be much deeper than imagined.

"Gosh, it’s not a snake, but a giant centipede!" Chu Feng absolutely did not expect that it would be such a large centipede that was stealing the Medicinal Herbs.

With the exploration of his Divine Sense, Chu Feng preliminarily estimated that the giant centipede was at least over two feet in length.

Estimated, even regular venomous snakes wouldn’t be much longer than it.

Cold waves of yin energy radiated from beneath its ribs. Its two compound eyes flashed with dark gold cold light.

It had numerous legs, too many to count with clarity. At the very least, it had several hundred pairs.

Its body appeared faintly visible, making it seem especially mystical.

"What an impressive centipede! Could this be the mythical Nine Yin Heaven Centipede?" Chu Feng couldn’t help but feel a little excited, yet his expression grew serious.

In its juvenile stage, the Nine Yin Heaven Centipede is a Frost Centipede, naturally able to accumulate yin energy and emit Cold Poison.

After reaching adulthood, it can evolve into a Seven Yin Frost Centipede.

If it has the right opportunity, by consuming powerful venomous snakes and medicinal herbs that are over ten thousand years old, it can evolve into a Nine Yin Heaven Centipede.
