“What!?”
Gary Smith was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard, and quickly questioned, “Is there really such a skill?”
However, he had just looked through all the elite rank extraordinary materials, including the unaffordable commander level ones, and he had not seen any skills with similar abilities.
Could it be that he had overlooked it?
Or was it a precious material of the Overlord Level, and the relevant permissions were not yet open?
The saleslady, feeling good after closing a significant sale, cheerfully replied,
“Of course, it’s just not available in our trade house.
Skills like that exist but require Star VIP permissions as they come from Overlord Level materials.
What I’m talking about exists in the Eco-Mysteryland near the Abyss City.”
“Near the Abyss City?”
Being a top student, Gary Smith naturally had abundant knowledge.
Various eco-mysterylands flashed in his mind, from general difficulty ones like Peach Blossom Forest, Vampire Swamp, Ancient Tree Forest, and even some medium to high difficulty secret realms.
Finally, he fixated on one secret realm.
Both individuals exchanged glances, and uttered an answer:
“Wild Ant Tomb Secret Realm!”
The Saleslady, with a surprised expression, continued, “Well done, sir.
You are indeed knowledgeable.
The place I mentioned is indeed the three-star level Wild Ant Tomb Secret Realm, which became famous due to a legend.”
Gary Smith nodded, familiar with the tale.
Although the Wild Ant Tomb Secret Realm was named after “ants,” it wasn’t home to only ant-type beasts.
It was primarily a desert, interspersed with loess plateaus, sinkholes, and oases inhabited by a large number of rock, earth, and even water-control beasts.
However, it was also inhabited by a large number of Desert Fire Ants, a servant-level extraordinary species.
Each ant was about the size of a finger and could easily be squashed by ordinary people.
But when they gathered in the tens of thousands, they could turn into a sea of fire that scorched everything and baked the earth.
Even a Leadership Tier favored beast encountering desert fire ants in the tens of thousands had to retreat promptly; otherwise, it would be burned to ash by the successive waves of fire ants.
But most of the time, these fire ants scattered in search of food, corpses, and monster-scale shells to return to the nest to assist in nest-building and feeding the ant queen, among other things.
During this time, they also served as food for desert foxes, anteaters, long-eared rabbits, and other life forms, which not only controlled the number of fire ants but also were prey for higher-order predators, forming a complete food chain.
The original Wild Ant Tomb Secret Realm was the resting place of a powerful ant-type beast that had occupied the area with its powerful servant ants.
After countless generations, they evolved into today’s Desert Fire Ants.
Legend has it that it laid ant eggs before dying, sealing them in a corner, waiting for them to hatch one day.
Originally, most people considered this an interesting children’s story, but a few years ago, the corpse of this mysterious ant-type was discovered.
According to researchers, it was a species called “Savage Ant” from ancient times, an ancient exotic species.
It was determined to be at least of Overlord level and was female, which instantly caused a sensation.
Ancient exotic species referred to a particular pet beast category between the Overlord and Commander levels.
They were so classified because Overlord’s Favored Beasts were defined as possessing a super-tier skill and several high-level skills, as well as many middle to low-level skills.
On the other hand, ancient exotic species only had a super-tier skill and couldn’t learn any other skills, marking them as an extreme type of pet beast.
Accordingly, their cultivation was crucial.
The strong ones could rival overlord-level creatures, while the weakest ones could be even weaker than ordinary commander-level pet beasts.
They belonged to a category of special beasts that demonstrated extreme polarization.
Nevertheless, ancient exotic species were still sought after, commanded high prices, and were far more expensive than commander-level ones.
The Savage Ant was among the best in the ancient exotic species.
It possessed a super-level racial talent, the [Power Ring].
The ant could eat the extraordinary organs of a demon and transform them into special rings of blood and flesh to increase its own strength.
The Savage Ant had a unique body structure, which allowed it to enhance the [Power Ring] twenty-fold.
This was equivalent to a top-tier super-level skill for it.
The fifty-tonne force surged to a thousand tonnes instantly, equivalent to a tremendous force of two million jin.
With its massive punch, it could rightly be called the ant-type earthquake maker.
The skill effect was such that eating the blood and flesh of a complete servant-level beast could condense a power ring, accumulating to twenty rings in total, with each one increasing the power by a hundred jin.
Thereafter, elite-level blood and flesh were required, which could condense another twenty rings, each increasing the strength by two hundred jin.
Each ring at the Leadership Stage increased strength by 400 jin, however, starting at the Overlord Level, each ring could increase strength by 4,000 jin.
As for higher…
the Savage Ant was just an Ancient Exotic Species and they were rare in number, so nobody could attempt whether a Power Ring could be condensed.
But the difficulty is too high, not only because of the gap in strength, but also because as the strength of the Pet Beasts increases, their blood and souls will transform towards mythical creatures.
If a lower life form rashly devours this level of blood and flesh, it may accidentally be polluted by the will contained within, becoming subservient, twisted abnormality, and even transforming into a part of the other creature’s life.
But according to professional researchers’ estimates, the blood and flesh of higher-level life forms condensed into the Power Ring could possibly be worth all the previous combined.
If the pollution could be removed, it could greatly increase the strength of the Savage Ant, a Pet Beast that relied on doubling its basic strength.
As for the pollution that countless people were helpless against, for Gary Smith, that was a trivial matter.
What contamination could compare to the Taboo Sun?
If he could acquire the [Power Ring] ability, even if he couldn’t kill the Leadership Stage beasts right now, he could easily accomplish the first forty rings.
If he could further gather the twenty rings of the Leadership Stage, that would be a total of 14,000 jin of power, equivalent to seven tons.
It might not seem like a lot, but this was pure physical strength, without the addition of Spiritual Power.
Throwing a punch was like being hit by a speeding war chariot.
If combined with Extraordinary Power, a hundred punches could be thrown in an instant, pulverizing the opponent’s blood and flesh into shreds.
Paired with the Spatial System power of Little Spider, it could become any opponent’s worst nightmare.
Among the same rank, it would absolutely be among the top in terms of power.
If one could produce a Skill Secret Food that doubled one’s strength and fully brush up on its proficiency.
He certainly had the chance to surpass the Savage Ant, making a combination of skills comparable to the Legendary-level!
Little Spider renamed itself [Void Strength Spider] overnight!
But this was all imagined after all as the blood and flesh and Extraordinary Organs of the Savage Ant had weathered away over the Long Eons, leaving only a skeleton behind.
Not to mention whether materials could be extracted from it, this skeleton had been taken to the Research Institute in the Imperial City for study a few years ago.
Ordinary people weren’t allowed in, let alone see it!
As for the so-called Ant eggs…
they were even more elusive.
After causing a sensation a few years ago, countless adventure groups and explorers had moved in, searching it thoroughly, but no one could find a trace of them.
On the contrary, many of them had become bones in the tombs, moving food for monsters.
However, the exploration progress in the Wild Ant Tomb Secret Realm was greatly advanced, so some people thought it was deliberately done by the Alliance, with the purpose of fooling people to help explore the unknown Secret Realm.
As time passed, not many people were left searching.
Gary Smith did not like people who spoke in riddles, so he asked directly:
“Has there been news from the Secret Realm of the Wild Ant Tomb again?”
He was not afraid that the other party would deceive him, a big customer who had just spent a million credits.
There was no point in lying; it would only offend him.
Since it had been mentioned, it indicated that there had been changes recently, realistic news.
It is highly likely that a fossilized ant egg was found!
For others, it might be useless, only suitable for collection, but Gary Smith was different, he could attempt to extract the materials!
Saleslady Miss nodded her head, saying earnestly: “Three days ago, because the Desert Fire Ants suddenly rioted, causing some chaos, people took on the task to investigate the reason.
However, they unexpectedly witnessed a battle of a huge golden-shelled ant.
They originally thought it was a unique Ant Pet Beast, but during the battle, twenty-seven blood and flesh rings appeared on its body.
Only then did they finally confirm that it was the legendary Savage Ant.
This scene was captured on their portable recorder.”
After listening, Gary Smith was shocked…
