Chapter 95 Captivity
100 million souls.

200 million souls.

300 million souls.

500 million souls.

……

I finally experienced the feeling of abundance, but I also clearly felt that this mountain of ants in front of me was gradually becoming less and less profitable.

The black ants that were born gradually became sparse.

What used to take half a minute to farm over 100,000 souls can now only take a minute and yield 50,000 souls.

Five million doesn't seem to be nearly enough right now.

You'll run out of spirit energy after unleashing 33 spirit explosions, each costing 15 souls.

Let's at least get to 100 million first.

only……

I have a feeling that the monster tide in this space has indeed been almost completely drained.

This made Lu Cang think to himself.

If this continues, will it still be able to produce black ants?

Lu Cang looked towards the ant mountain.

After being promoted to Death Priest, Lu Cang already felt that the world had become more vivid, and the colors in his eyes were completely different from before the promotion.

They can see things that ordinary people cannot.

The monster tide has indeed thinned out considerably.

"Haha, I'm back!"

Just as Lu Cang was feeling worried, a cheerful voice came from behind him.

Turning my head, I saw that it was indeed Chi Cheng.

"Brother Chicheng, you're finally back. I was worried that other adventurers would find this place."

Chi Cheng laughed heartily, "Haha, don't worry about that, I blocked this place off when I went out just now."

As he spoke, Chi Cheng also looked towards Ant Mountain.

"Oh, the monster tide has thinned out a lot. It really is a mountain of ants."

Lu Cang: "Yes, I was also worried about this. The monster tide is thin, and the black ants produced in Thousand Army Ant Mountain are no longer a threat."

Chi Cheng looked at Lu Cang, who really looked worried.

Kid, this sounds like the troubles of a villain...

"So, I found a place."

As soon as Chi Cheng finished speaking, he had already lifted the ant mountain with one hand.

He stood in front of Lu Cang.

The black ant tried to get close to Chi Cheng, but it couldn't even climb onto him before it died on the spot, turning into black powder.

Chi Cheng held the ant mountain in one hand and lightly slashed with his heavy sword in the other.

A huge rift appeared in the space ahead.

He carried the ant mountain outside.

Lu Cang paused for a moment, then followed him out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I felt my collar being grabbed from behind.

"I just went out to make some arrangements. It's quite a long way, so let me take you there directly."

After that…

boom!
Lu Cang felt a sudden dizziness, and the surrounding scenery became so chaotic that only a blur remained.

My internal organs were churning.

But this feeling didn't last long; after only a few moments, I felt grounded.

However, I still feel dizzy.

Everything around me was spinning.

Lu Cang fell to the ground...

All I remember is that at the same time, I activated all the shields that protected me.

Then, he took out a pill from his spatial storage and swallowed it.

Lu Cang prefers to buy pills rather than liquid medicine.

Pills are more convenient to take, and can be held in the mouth and swallowed when needed.

And the medicine... at crucial moments, you have to be distracted to open the bottle and drink it.

Having learned from his previous experience of having the random teleportation scroll torn up, Lu Cang now makes sure to consider the possibility of being interrupted when preparing goods.

The storage space now contains various potions, over a hundred of each type, and one hundred random teleportation scrolls.

The monster corpses were categorized, and countless were made into specimens.

Unfortunately, even with 21 gold coins, the precious magical items couldn't be spent quickly, and Lu Cang didn't have many in stock.

After taking the pill, Lu Cang's dizziness instantly subsided.

Stand up and look around.

This appears to be a man-made cave, as it is square and very regular.

Behind me was a straight passageway, and judging from the fact that the walls of the passageway were all rock, this must be inside a mountain.

"I opened up this cave."

"If we're going to keep the monster captive, we can just lock it up here and kill it regularly, and that should be fine."

Lu Cang looked around.

The space here is quite large, probably several times larger than the playground at my high school.

Moreover, the monster horde here is indeed very strong.

"Brother Chicheng, you're really smart!" Lu Cang praised.

When Chi Cheng heard this praise, his ears perked up.

His expression was radiant.

Their heads were practically pointing to the sky.

"Haha, do you need to tell me about my wisdom?"

Oh ~
It seems that the compliment really hit the nail on the head.

Praising him for being smart seems to have hit him hard.

He wiped his nose and said, "However, we should also take precautions to prevent it from causing unnecessary damage."

Chi Cheng took out a cyan scroll from his backpack.

The scroll glowed slightly.

A mark was left on the mountain of ants.

"Brother Chicheng, do you use scrolls too?"

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. There are always some things that soldiers aren't good at in this world."

"Actually, besides using tracking magic, archers' marking arrows, observers' gazes, and apothecaries' directional fluorescent agents can all achieve the same thing: tracking marks."

"However, Iz's scrolls are much more effective than other common ones."

"Of course, I don't mean that warriors are weaker than mages."

Chi Cheng, if you hadn't said that last sentence, I wouldn't actually have had this thought.

The tracking mark was applied.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Cheng released many huge stone slabs from his storage space. These stone slabs were completely black.

It doesn't look like a cheap item.

"I'll treat you to the materials, we're brothers."

"You'll treat me to drinks next time."

Swish!
Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump—

No one knew how he moved, but one stone slab after another flew out and embedded themselves in various places on the cave walls.

In just a few seconds, the cave, which was originally covered by earth and rocks, was transformed into a secret chamber surrounded by black stone slabs.

"Rigid black iron, capable of withstanding attacks from level 4 monsters."

Chi Cheng then put the ant mountain down.

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

Ant Hill firmly sat in the center of the field.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Cheng threw out a crimson short sword, which stuck into the ground in front of him.

A crimson magic array unfolded, rising like a pillar of light and enveloping the Thousand Ant Mountain within it.

"This is a spirit-sealing short sword that I had someone enchant for me. Now he shouldn't be able to get out."

"Even if they come out, I can still sense them."

It seems that even as a warrior, one would carry various types of tools.

Every profession has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Some things that cannot be done by their own job are often made up for by using props.

Lu Cang was dazzled by Chi Cheng's series of actions.

Once things have settled down, it also means that this mountain of ants has officially become a monster that they have kept in captivity.
