I remember when we were in the territory of the natives, they said that all we had to do was defend our own territory, and that we had to go to war. This was the first time I had ever heard of such a thing.
The woman from the Wu clan didn't say anything; she simply watched the group leave.
The fourth major race of the Primal People, the Zhan Clan, charged towards the Stone Forest.
When the warriors of the Zhan clan arrived at the Stone Forest, Fu Long finally noticed something different.
That is the stone forest seen from this scene. Compared with the stone forest where I am, it is really far inferior.
It wasn't a very large space; it felt like there were just some stone pillars standing there at the time.
Fu Long also gasped, as if something was amiss. The stone forest had expanded?
Just as I was thinking this, the Zhan clan in the scene began to make their move, advancing towards the stone forest in front of them.
As soon as they entered the stone forest, it began to change. Countless black hairs sprouted from the ground and wrapped around them.
The Primal Warriors were also very strong. They used their abilities to try to fight against these hairy creatures, but it was clear that even if the hair was cut off or burned, it would keep growing back from the ground.
It was an endless stream, so the original human warriors were constantly being knocked down and then entangled by these hairs.
Then, those hairs will first turn into crystal clear, ice coffin-like things, and finally a thick layer of stone skin will grow on the outside, turning into a long stone pillar.
The stone forest expanded, and from those stone pillars, round bubbles emerged one by one.
Then they slowly came together and turned into a series of spherical scenes.
"Wait, this is bad." When Fu Long saw this, he suddenly realized something. It seemed that he was affected by the scene. He was unsettled and had to escape.
Thinking of this, Fu Long immediately put on the brocade cassock.
Sure enough, a peculiar dark curse was absorbed by the robe and entered the porcelain bottle, producing the ninth drop of nectar.
It's clear that the curse here is extremely powerful.
At that moment, the scene in front of me began to shake violently, accompanied by the sound of explosions.
Fu Long saw the scene collapsing, and it was clear that he was trapped in it.
"Damn it, White Dragon Horse."
The white dragon horse appeared, and Fu Long mounted it, instantly disappearing from the scene.
The scene exploded; from the outside, it just looked like a circular, bubble-like object had burst open.
At this moment, Fu Long reappeared on the outskirts of the Stone Forest.
There are many tiny bubbles here.
Fu Long was also panting heavily, and it took him a while to catch his breath.
"So that's how it is." Looking at the black aura surrounding the stone forest ahead, Fu Long finally understood what was going on.
The so-called Stone Forest, these stone pillars are not ordinary stone pillars at all. Each stone pillar should contain a body sealed inside.
It could be from a primitive human, or it could be from another species.
The resulting stone pillars vary depending on their size.
And the creatures around him were all beings that had entered this place.
The thing that seals those people or things should be something like black hair.
I don't know what this is, but it's very dangerous.
After being sealed, the Stone Forest did not immediately absorb these people or creatures.
On the contrary, these people or things are probably still alive.
Their consciousness remained clear, and the stone pillars continuously absorbed their consciousness, creating different scenes.
I was just absorbed into one of those scenes.
If it weren't for the white dragon horse, I probably would have been blown to death by the collapse of the scene.
The collapse of a scene might mean that the one sealed in the stone pillar is truly dead.
"A stone forest that devours people!" Fu Long sighed. No one who entered this place had ever come out, which meant that there was very likely no way out of this place.
Think about it, once you get caught up in it, you'll either get tangled up by those black hairs or be blown up by the scene.
But no matter which one it is, in the end, it's all the same: death.
"Should we go any further in?" Fu Long raised an eyebrow and began to analyze the dangers of this stone forest.
It is indeed very dangerous, but the greater the danger, the better the contents inside.
"The mother talisman didn't malfunction just now; I only used the white dragon horse because I was unwilling to give up. If that's the case, then we should be able to go in."
After thinking with his eyes closed for a while, Fu Long suddenly opened them: "I have to go in. I believe there must be something special inside that I have to find a way to get."
With that in mind, Fu Long walked into the stone forest again.
This time, we should focus on preventing the absorption of the scene.
Upon entering the Stone Forest again, Fu Long paused for a moment in surprise.
At this moment, a pillar that had been petrified on the outside appeared in the stone forest.
The pillar rose high, like a towering ice coffin.
Inside the ice coffin, a figure can be seen; this is none other than the leader of the War Clan from the previous scene.
So it was him. He was sealed here?
Wait a minute, I remember he was rushing in the scene, so why is he on the outskirts of the stone forest?
Fu Long looked at the leader of the War Clan.
He was in a panic inside the ice coffin, and judging from his movements, he was clearly running forward.
He was now facing the outer edge of the stone forest, which meant that he had finally escaped.
I don't know what he encountered, but in the end, he was running away, which is why he appeared on the outskirts.
Fu Long raised an eyebrow, secretly noting this point in his mind.
Chapter 383 Stone Forest is Not Easy to Deal With
At the conference table, Fu Long and the others were somewhat bewildered as they looked at the roasted meat in front of them, but they didn't know what type of meat it was.
So you're inviting me to dinner already? Fire Ants are so easy to talk to?
Fu Long didn't know what to say.
I just don't know if this meat is edible.
"Don't be so nervous. This meat is for humans. Fire ants wouldn't be able to eat this kind of meat."
Fu Long found it quite strange; those fire ants looked fierce, so why couldn't they eat meat?
Lori started with her hands, which were unlike human hands; they were like knives. She cut through the cooked meat, took a bite, and showed a very enjoyable expression.
Seeing her like this, Fu Long knew that if she didn't eat, it would be disrespectful.
Besides, there are some things that are probably best left unsaid, since there seems to be some distance between fire ants and pure humans.
Fu Long could only gesture for everyone to eat as well, but to be careful.
After eating a few bites of meat, Molly finally began to ask questions.
"How did you manage to get around the magma beasts outside? You know, no humans have come here for thousands of years."
Thousands of years? Fu Long looked at Molly. Could it be that she was already thousands of years old? Impossible.
"Don't look at me with such suspicion. I'm not over a thousand years old, but fire ants like me have inherited memories, so I know a lot about the past."
"Oh, I see. That explains it. But I don't understand. It seems that fire ants and humans aren't the same species, so why would you..."
Well, there are some things that are hard to say aloud, but the general idea is there.
Molly laughed and said, "Actually, you should understand from my appearance that I have human blood in my veins."
Human bloodline—does this mean that fire ants, like chimeric ants, can devour human flesh and blood and then produce new ant eggs?
Fu Long looked at Molly, thinking that if this was the case, the fire ants would be in great danger.
Molly gave a brief explanation, and Fu Long finally understood.
Thousands of years ago, the Dark Continent was in a state of war.
Warriors from all races headed towards the mainland battlefield.
At that time, the fire ant clan was not very powerful, so they were unable to participate in the war.
In addition, the area is protected by the volcanic zone, so there are no people or other creatures that dare to disturb it.
During the war, different humans or other creatures will flee here.
Some of these people managed to escape the battlefield, but died at the hands of the lava beasts or other creatures on the outskirts of the volcano. Only a small group, about a few dozen people, made it to the territory of the fire ant clan.
Some of these people also coveted this place and planned to occupy the fire ants' territory to recuperate and thrive here.
However, another group disagreed, believing that the right path was to ally with the fire ant clan and develop together, rather than using force.
As a result, the two sides parted ways once again due to their differing opinions.
And so, those humans who wanted to unite with the fire ants helped the fire ants fight against those humans who wanted to forcibly occupy the land.
At that time, humans were stronger than the fire ants, but the fire ants had the advantage of sheer numbers. So, after paying a certain price, the fire ants finally won and established themselves firmly in the area.
However, only a dozen or so of those who were allies remained, and crucially, they were all men.
For humanity, the absence of women would be tantamount to extinction.
Humans are different from fire ants.
When a fire ant queen dies, a new queen automatically emerges in the colony, unlike humans.
With no other option, the humans had to worship the fire ant spirits and, through contagion, transform themselves into half-ant humans.
Only then did he fully integrate into the entire ant tribe community.
It's important to know that before humans became semi-ant-like, fire ants, including the queen, crawled on their stomachs, just like worker ants do today.
With the addition of half-ants, the fire ant race has undergone many changes over several generations.
