Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 593 Extracting Juice
Giant ants swarmed in like a flood, covering the sky.

Zhou Lengru strolled leisurely, exuding elegance and ease.

With just a glance at the giant ant, a dense array of "mental images" appeared before his eyes, and his arms and hands naturally exerted their strength to attack from the most suitable angle.

The realm of mental imagery has reached a level similar to choosing 1 out of 64.

With each move, 64 different moves would appear before Zhou Leng's eyes. If Zhou Leng did not actively choose, his body would instinctively use the most correct move based on his current level.

This is a subconscious behavior honed through countless trials.

Zhou Leng walked while brandishing his sword.

The giant ants witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.

This human's hands are like a child waving a stick, just wildly swinging them around.

What's terrifying is that the giant ants nearby rushed towards the blades, precisely grazing their necks.

At first, Zhou Leng focused all his attention on the giant ant.

But gradually, he began to become aware of himself and observe his own martial arts skills.

His combat awareness and realm have surpassed the edge of the first level of the Observation Realm, reaching the second level of the Grandmaster Realm of Knowledge and Flaws.

Everything has flaws, and all laws have flaws.

Every cut and every sword strike was aimed at the giant ant's flaws.

Knowing its flaws, one can take its life.

When Zhou Leng reached the door, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of giant ant corpses.

To the other races, the giant insect race seemed like emotionless puppets who would do anything to receive orders from above.

Fearless of life and death, devoid of joy or pleasure.

But now, the remaining giant ants lie on the ground, slowly retreating.

Their tentacles trembled wildly, and their eyes flashed with panic.

In the distance, the sun is about to set.

This human being, like the rising of night.

“Very clever. Tell your queen ant that an old friend has come to visit, why keep him at arm’s length? Lead the way, I don’t want to destroy this place. After all, my friendship with the queen ant will last forever.” Zhou Leng spoke in the language of the tree people.

A giant, humanoid ant stepped forward, extending its arm like a human servant to guide Zhou Leng.

"please……"

It uttered strange tree-man language.

The giant ants nearby were terrified. When did these giant insects learn to speak the language of tree people?
With the giant ant in front and Zhou Leng behind, they passed through a winding passage, walked through a large gate, and saw a huge and familiar space.

The plump queen ant was lying on the ground, her huge eyes looking over.

Numerous male ants and giant ant generals stood nervously beside the queen, their trembling wings betraying their inner turmoil.

Zhou smiled coldly and said, "Hello, we meet again."

"Hiss..." The queen ant hissed, making a strange sound, full of anger, but even more so fear.

Last year, the tyrannical blood descended and took away half of the Brilliant Insect Juice, which is not a big deal.

However, the spiritual power of the tyrannical blood was too strong. Even without taking action, just a glance from him plunged her into a state of panic that lasted for half a year.

The hellish time had just passed when another enemy appeared.

She recalled what happened last year, and with old and new grudges combined, she was about to take action.

The giant ants could detect this person's strength, and they panicked.

Their physical strength is also extremely terrifying.

He was clearly a martial artist, yet he could sweep through the entire army without using his inner energy.

He is very likely a grandmaster of humanity.

Zhou Leng stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, I always keep my promises. If I say I'll only take half, I'll take half."

"Hiss..." The queen ant hissed angrily.

"My senior brother obtained it with his tyrannical blood, why can't I?" Zhou Leng glanced at the queen ant and walked straight to her side.

With the force of the Broken Void Finger technique and a little bit of Starry Sky True Energy, he gently poked with his right hand.

Pfft! I poked a big hole.

Zhou Leng was prepared; he inserted the tube and aimed the opening at the large enchanted bottle.

"Gurgling..."

The colorful, shimmering juice flowed along the tube into the enchanted bottle, the sound filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

The queen ant initially tried to struggle, but when she felt a strange force piercing through her body like a blade cutting through paper, she gave up.

That power was even more wondrous than the terrifying, tyrannical blood from before.

The queen ant turned her head and communicated with a soothing mental energy.

Please keep your promise.

"If I mess with you this time, how will I have the nerve to come back next time? Don't worry."

"what……"

The queen ant and the giant ants were dumbfounded.

In the long silence, Zhou Leng took half of the Queen Ant's Brilliant Juice, weighing at least twenty tons.

The once plump, white queen ant had shrunk considerably.

Zhou Leng put away the magic bottle and said, "Alright, no need to see me off. You focus on making the Brilliant Juice. By the way, your aphid honey and ant eggs are quite good. I'll take some back to give to my friends."

Zhou Leng carried the giant ant from before and used it to guide the way.

Before long, Zhou Leng, laden with his spoils, continued on his journey.

Inside the ant nest, the queen ant roared to the sky.

move place!

Zhou Leng ran all the way, covering a distance of 15,000 kilometers, and finally arrived at the Old Fertile Land.

Using his identity as an "ancient tree person," he obtained a map showing the distribution of ancient tree fossils from the local tree people, and then began to run swiftly through the forest.

Previously, the sensing distance for ancient tree fossils was already quite far; now, the sensing distance has increased again, exceeding 200 meters.

After driving ten kilometers into the old fertile land, I sensed the first fossilized ancient tree.

He took out a palm-sized bronze chariot from his magic bag and tossed it gently.

The bronze chariot landed, grew larger, and two bronze horses neighed softly.

Zhou Leng jumped onto the carriage and started the engine. The entire carriage was enveloped in earthy yellow elements, parting the ground and rapidly descending.

After diving 30 meters, a fossilized ancient tree appeared on the side wall of the carriage. It was about half the size of a fist, and its bark resembled rotten tree roots, emitting a strange fragrance.

Zhou Leng reached out and took it down to the ground, continuing his search.

Three minutes later, a piece.

Five minutes later, I got five pieces in one go.

Ten minutes later, the enormous fossilized tree, the size of a human head, was in his possession.

The idea of ​​starting a quarrying company here popped into Zhou Leng's mind, but he shook his head and continued his search alone.

The Old Fertile Land is the former territory of a Mother Tree. It is already rare for the Tree People to allow their own kind to dig here, let alone allow large-scale mining.

Zhou Leng stayed in the old fertile land with peace of mind, constantly digging up ancient tree fossils every day.

The ancient tree fossils in the magic pouch are accumulating at a rate unimaginable to others...

The old fertile land, far from the battlefield, should have been peaceful.

But as Zhou Leng continued his excavation, more and more Zerg and monster scouts appeared near the Old Fertile Land.

The Tree People discovered the problem and dispatched a large army of Tree People to begin an in-depth investigation.

Like a city.

The newly appointed Governor-General of Liangjiang, Zhao Cong, used his superb skills to win over some people, suppress others, and punish others, thus stabilizing the Liangjiang region.

Then, they began to vigorously promote reforms, and the propaganda that "if you don't reform, you'll be reforming your mindset" sparked cheers from the public.

Countless people believe that better days are coming.

Such as big.

Feng Wenhao, dressed in his military uniform, walked through the campus with a heavy heart.

He thought becoming a trainee military guard would pave a smooth road ahead, but little did he know, trouble would ensue.

Just a few days ago, a rumor circulated within the Armed Police Bureau.

The current commander of the Imperial Guard, Wang Boxiong, has offended the new governor-general, Zhao Cong.

This news wasn't fatal; what was fatal was that Zhao Cong criticized the brutal style of the Rucheng Armed Police Bureau at the Liangjiang Conference.

With the two pieces of news combined, Feng Wenhao had a bad feeling.

One emperor and one courtier.

Having come from a martial arts school, he was already considered a direct descendant of Wang Boxiong.

If something happens to Wang Boxiong, I might not be able to get a permanent position.

Although I was busy a few days ago, I also received a lot of subsidies, and I was able to enjoy delicious food and drinks and post about it on social media all the time.

He feels a little numb now.

The phone rings.

He looked down and saw it was Hu Yi.

"Hello, Hu Yi?"

"It's me. Um... I've run into some trouble lately, could you lend me five thousand? It's not much, just five thousand."

Feng Wenhao looked ahead in confusion, and it took him a while to react.

"Didn't you say that your dad was kidnapped by the cult while at work, and that their company was doing well and should pay him a compensation?"

"Gone."

"Why?" Feng Wenhao asked.

"In response to Governor Zhao Cong's call for reform, we need to marry off our best women first. So the company was restructured, changing from being publicly owned to being owned by the company's chairman, general manager, and new individual shareholders."

Feng Wenhao was dumbfounded: "Huh? I can understand if the company isn't doing well. But what I don't understand is, it's all managed by the same group of people, how can things be fixed just by making changes? Normally, if things are really bad, shouldn't the person in charge be replaced?"

"This is a dangerous situation. I've asked many people, but there's no hope. Also... I might have to go to another city, and I've lost my job."

"Huh?" Feng Wenhao was even more confused.

"There are too many ride-hailing services, and our taxi company is getting worse and worse, constantly losing money. Then, in response to reforms and to protect people's livelihoods, we were acquired by Rucheng Transportation Company, which laid off many people, including me."

"Huh? Isn't the main transportation hub publicly owned?"

"Yes. Our company used to belong to the Rao family, then it became the Zhao family, and now it has been acquired."

"I don't understand, how can they sell to outsiders while buying to insiders, and they can justify it no matter what?"

You'll understand in a few years.

So where are you planning to go?

"I'm looking for my second uncle to drive a car at the mine."

“I’ve heard that some large mines are entirely operated by demonic puppets,” Feng Wenhao said softly.

"So I should be fine working in small or medium-sized mines."

"But... it's dangerous."

Hu Yi smiled and said, "In the past, I didn't understand why so many people risked their lives to go down into the mines and onto the high-voltage lines. Now, I understand. It's like how I never understood why my parents always ate unhealthy leftovers. Until yesterday, when I found some medicine that had expired three months ago, I didn't hesitate for even a second and brewed it up to drink. That's when I understood."

"Wait for me, I'll transfer it to you right away!"

Feng Wenhao was, after all, a student, and his stipend was limited. He borrowed money from several friends, scraped together five thousand yuan, and transferred it to Hu Yi.

Feng Wenhao looked at the last 50 yuan in his card and felt like crying.

He knew Zhou Leng must be rich, but thinking of his miserable situation, he decided against it.

That money is for my retirement; I can't lend a single penny of it.

Squad leader Wei Hong walked over from the front.

Feng Wenhao's eyes lit up, and he ran over with small, quick steps.

"Teacher! I'll bet you, how about I bet you my food money for a month..."

Water Island Demon City, Tree Man Base.

Li Shenkong was happy to return to the Tree Man Base and breathe in the fresh air.

He has been living in constant fear these past few days.

Sending the divine sword home and entrusting it to my sister for safekeeping suddenly made me feel much more at ease.

Although his younger sister kept pestering him to touch the sword, and he had to guard against her like a thief, it was still better than being targeted by outsiders.

With no sword behind me, the world is wide open.
