Chapter 989 - 503: Hunting the Poison Ant Knight (Part 2)

The officer fell silent.

Previously, he’d thought of his superior as "a man who merely守成," but now he suddenly realized he’d never really understood the other man.

Colonel Du suddenly grew high-spirited: "Great Xia doesn’t just have peerless figures like Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows; there are also many brave men like Old Wu.

"I can’t lead an era the way those two big shots do, but I can become a brave man like Old Wu."

Primordial World.

Yang Fan, who had been hailed as "the leader of an era," was standing amid the endless wind and sand, staring at the Level 1 civilization curiosities in his hand.

The Tracking Blind Eye emitted an almost imperceptible glow, and the little point of red light within it trembled ever so slightly without pause.

This signified one thing—within a radius of five hundred kilometers, there existed a Knight Level Poisonous Ant.

Yang Fan clicked his tongue in amazement: "To think there’d be such a curiosities. The world really is full of strange things."

He unconsciously formed a hypothesis: "Back when the Iron Fist World was invaded by the Primordial Evil Race, the leader of the Evil Race happened to be a Knight.

"To the Iron Fist Civilization of that time, a Knight was an absolutely invincible existence.

"The Iron Fist People paid the terrible price of hundreds of millions of deaths before they finally took down that Evil Race Knight and ended the catastrophe.

"Could it be that the Iron Fist Civilization’s World Will was so deeply impressed by Knights that it gave birth to this Tracking Blind Eye specifically to locate Knight Powerhouses?"

Yang Fan immediately thought of how Carmenia’s World Will, tormented by demons, forged the Supreme Treasure Cross Demon-Suppressing Eyes, which in the end ended up benefiting him.

That was the proof.

He was a bit speechless: "So the World Consciousness can get ’post-traumatic stress disorder’ too."

Yang Fan held the Tracking Blind Eye and carefully pressed it against his left eye.

Something strange happened.

The Tracking Blind Eye instantly turned illusory and actively merged into his organ.

Yang Fan immediately felt his left eye go dark; he could no longer see anything.

This was—blindness.

His face was full of wonder: "No wonder this thing has ’Blind Eye’ in its name."

Even though his left eye could no longer see, he clearly sensed a powerful existence at a certain position to the northeast.

This was undoubtedly the Poison Ant Knight.

Yang Fan also vaguely sensed that this monster harbored an intense malice toward the Canglan People.

A trace of coldness flashed across his face: "I set up a Space Maze on the North Island, yet the Poisonous Ant swarm actually split into squads, entering one Space Island after another in batches. Their organization and discipline are both extremely high—how could there not be a commander behind this?"

It was certain that if the Poison Ant Knight wasn’t taken out, a lot more people would die in the North Island war.

Yang Fan controlled the Centipede Overlord beneath his feet to sink under the sand layer and quickly swim toward the location of the Poison Ant Knight.

The Centipede Overlord beneath his feet was the fastest in the entire Overlord Legion.

Its speed tunneling beneath the sand layer had already reached nearly two hundred and fifty meters per second, which came out to about nine hundred kilometers per hour.

Half an hour later.

The Centipede Overlord suddenly came to a halt.

Relying on the Perception Ability of its Desertification Superpower, it had keenly detected a large area of quicksand ahead.

This was not naturally formed quicksand.

It was the result of some external interference.

Yang Fan’s gaze flickered as he murmured, "Could the Poison Ant Knight be a ’Quicksand Ant’?"

"No wonder that even though I used the〖All-Things Illusory Heaven Demon Eyes〗to control a swarm of Flying Sand Dragonflies and scoured so much of the surface, I still didn’t find it."

The Poisonous Ants of the Black Sand Sea came in all kinds; Quicksand Ants were among the more unique types.

They possessed a rare ability—to turn solid sand layers into quicksand that flowed like liquid.

This was precisely the Quicksand Ants’ hunting method. Once prey fell into the quicksand, it would become their delicacy.

Almost all Quicksand Ants lived underground year after year and seldom set foot on the surface in their entire lives.

Yang Fan let out a cold snort: "You think just because you’re hiding in the quicksand area I can’t do anything to you?"

If it were the Iron Fist Race, even if ten or twenty Guardians attacked together, they could only stand there and sigh helplessly at the ’sand.’

But he had all sorts of ways.

Yang Fan pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Today I’ll give you a little shock."

He immediately took out the Legion Tiger Talisman from the Space Pearl and quietly activated this Sacred Artifact.

A wondrous power swept across the vast Desert Sea within a thousand-li radius in an instant, sending a summons to every Centipede Overlord.

Another half hour flew by.

One hundred and twenty Centipede Overlords gathered together.

There were still thirty Centipede Overlords that hadn’t come; after all, the World Gate of Canglan Star still needed guarding forces.

Yang Fan decisively issued an order: "Charge!"

When you lack power, you naturally need to rely on technique.

When you possess overwhelming power, simply smashing in with one punch is the most perfect technique.

This is called—great skill appears clumsy.

"Wuu~"

The one hundred and twenty Centipede Overlords let out a low, rumbling roar in unison that echoed far and wide.

They swung their heads and tails, forming a neat formation, and charged swiftly into the quicksand zone ahead.

The quicksand, which had originally been flowing slowly, sensed the intrusion of an external enemy and began to flow like water, with a speed exceeding ten meters per second.

Moreover, the internal flow directions within the quicksand zone were chaotic and disordered, so even creatures from the Black Sand Sea would be left dizzy and disoriented if they rashly entered.

But to the Overlord Legion, this was nothing at all.

They opened their mouths in unison and spat out a streak of gray light.

This was the Centipede Overlords’ most powerful ability—Desertification.

The Sacred Artifact’s Magical Power allowed their minds to be linked; working together, they were as one person—no, as one Overlord.
