First, there are Ant-Man characters like Molly, who are partially humanized.

Generally, humanized Ant-Men only have heads; it's just that some Ant-Men have more human-like features.

These Ant-Men possess the most powerful intellect and combat abilities. By combining the energy of this world, they can even unleash abilities similar to Nen.

Therefore, over time, these half-ant people became the rulers of the entire ant colony.

Next up are ant generals like Montmartre.

Although it doesn't have a particularly high level of intelligence, it is still quite capable because it can stand and walk and can eat roasted food.

Most importantly, there are quite a few of these fire ants.

Therefore, these fire ants form an intermediate layer.

As for the soldiers standing in the outer ranks, they are simply the less robust members of the second type of ant-man, and they constitute the main force of the fire ant army.

The remaining fire ants were the most numerous, but also the most docile.

Those are the worker ants; their main job is to work.

After hearing Molly's words, Fu Long rubbed his head.

To be honest, he suddenly felt that this infiltration was part of the reason why humanity had become a disaster for the Dark Continent.

The earliest members of the fire ant colony, or rather, the upper echelons, were probably the same species as the worker ants. But when humans joined in, they managed to change their allegiance within a few generations.

The pure fire ant tribe of the past is gone; now, half-ant people are in charge.

That's really impressive.

Fu Long chuckled twice and said, "I see. I understand now. In other words, you are actually related to humans by blood, which is why you are not afraid of them."

"Why should we fear humans? As I said, no humans have been here for thousands of years, so we have never actually seen humans before. This is the first time you have seen them."

Fu Long nodded again, "It's alright."

"By the way, tell me about the situation outside. We have no idea what the situation is like outside the volcano. All we know is that the volcanic area is getting bigger every year. Although we don't understand why, it has grown a lot compared to records from a thousand years ago."

Fu Long thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, the real humans on the Dark Continent should have disappeared, or rather, some have perished, some have fled, and some, although they are called humans, should still be somewhat different from humans."

Molly looked very serious; she was genuinely curious about the outside world.

Chapter 384 The Petrified Town

Early the next morning, Fu Long led his men toward the Stone Forest; this time, everyone went there.

The Stone Forest area has completely returned to calm, and the long hair has not reappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.

However, when everyone arrived here, they also felt the faint suction force in the stone forest.

"If you go between the two stone pillars, you won't be sucked into the scene." Fu Long glanced at Fox Charm.

"You don't mean to make me go alone, do you? Do you think I can get through this place by myself?"

"I just wanted you to try it out. Don't you have foxfire? I just wanted to see if fire really works on hair." Fu Long just smiled.

He does possess a Nen ability that can ignite fire, but if he goes in now and encounters problems, he has to test whether this Nen ability can bring him out.

Foxfire is a great experimental method.

Besides, the fox spirit's power is insufficient, but if I can pass the test with the flames, I might actually be able to persevere to the end.

We'd like to see what's inside the Stone Forest.

Foxy also scoffed, thinking, "They're using her as an experiment."

That's what they said, but they still slowly walked forward, with Fu Long and the others following behind.

Without venturing deep into the stone forest, they could only provide remote support.

Fox Spirit walked slowly, but stopped briefly when she entered the deeper part of the Stone Forest.

She could feel some changes beneath her feet; something was definitely about to appear.

It retreated rapidly, and several clumps of hair emerged from below, wrapping around the fox spirit.

Foxfire immediately ignited on the fox spirit's body, instantly burning all her fur into a clump.

It seems the first step was successful; there shouldn't be any problems.

Immediately afterwards, the fox spirit began to retreat continuously, and the foxfire formed a perfect defense, preventing any fur from getting close to the fox spirit surrounded by flames.

However, the fox spirit could feel that her mental energy was being depleted very quickly.

In just a short while, half of the mental energy was used up here.

Her usual battles weren't won by sheer power of Nen, so this time her dodge was rather forced.

If we hadn't just happened to have avoided going too deep into the stone forest, we wouldn't have been able to turn back even if we wanted to.

Once back to the edge of the stone forest, after dispelling her foxfire, Fox Charm gasped for breath. Good heavens, if she had gone any further, she might not have been able to get out.

"How about it?"

"No, fire does increase the damage to fur, but we can't go any deeper."

Fu Long nodded. That was fine; he had finally gotten the result he wanted from the test.

"In that case, you all wait for me here. I'll go in alone."

"Fu Long, be careful," Billy said, stepping forward and straightening Fu Long's collar.

Fu Long nodded, thinking that they wouldn't be stumped by this.

The Wind and Fire Wheels appeared beneath his feet. Normally, these were used to increase speed during battle, but they were perfect for this situation.

Because it's located at your feet, it can easily control any hair that sprouts from your feet.

Moreover, the Wind and Fire Wheels don't consume much mana; one drop of nectar is probably enough to replenish one's energy to enter the Stone Forest.

As for getting it out, that's even simpler; just use the mother talisman directly.

Since there's insurance, Fu Long isn't worried at all.

Soon, Fu Long disappeared into the stone forest, and the group watched his retreating figure.

"Don't worry about him. He wouldn't take the risk if he didn't have some kind of insurance," Foxy said from the side.

“Oh, you know him very well.” Billian looked at Foxy.

"No, it's just that we've been working together for so long, I know a little bit about it." Fox Charm dared not tell Billy any nonsense.

After all, the binding of the Mother Symbol can be done by Billy, and it can also be broken.

Billian smiled slightly, said nothing more, and looked at Fu Long, who had already entered the Stone Forest.

I must say, the Wind and Fire Wheels under my feet are indeed very useful.

Because it flies close to the ground, its fur is burned to charcoal as soon as it comes out.

The next moment, Fu Long will leave this area, and there will be no need for Mao to come out again.

So they continued forward, venturing further and further into the stone forest.

There aren't many real dangers in the Stone Forest, apart from the hair and the illusion created by the giant stone pillars.

If you get close enough, you can see some of the contents inside those spheres.

Some of them seem normal, but others are quite troublesome.

For example, there are also Swiftbirds sealed here in the Stone Pillar area. The light spheres on those stone pillars are black and white, without any color.

Moreover, the illusions created by these swift birds are often related to the vampire trees outside and the treasures buried in the ground.

If a person were to be sucked in, they might not be able to adapt to the illusionary content of these illusions at all.

There are also several thick stone pillars, inside which are sealed some huge creatures. These stone pillars are not easy to deal with either.

The content mostly consists of monsters fighting, but the problem is that their bodies are so huge that even the aftershocks during battles are terrifying, let alone experiencing it firsthand.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, Fu Long also mastered how to deal with these illusionary suction forces.

This walk took most of the day.

Because he was using the Wind and Fire Wheels, which were very fast, Fu Long had traveled over a hundred kilometers in half a day.

In terms of the area of ​​Shilin, Fulong is already close to the center.

When he felt that his mental energy was almost depleted, Fu Long swallowed a drop of nectar and was fully restored.

Add a little more gas, and it feels like we're almost there.

With that thought in mind, Fu Long took a deep breath and accelerated again.

A hissing sound came from beneath my feet, along with a burnt smell—the sound and smell of my own Wind and Fire Wheels burning my fur.

The light ahead seemed much brighter.

The light in the Stone Forest is not very good, although there are no trees with things above to block the sunlight.

However, because the stone pillars were so dense, much of the sunlight was blocked.

But ahead, it seems to be a huge place. Could it be that we have reached the very center?

Thinking this to himself, Fu Long quickened his pace. Sure enough, he rushed out quickly and found himself in a small town with warm sunshine.

The town is not large, and the stone houses are arranged in a neat row.

Furthermore, if you continue along the central line, you can see a rather grand building in the very center of the town; that should be the mayor's house.

Fu Long roughly calculated that this place could probably accommodate tens of thousands of people, making it a fairly large town.

Slowly stepping forward, hmm, someone's there?

After crossing a street corner, Fu Long actually saw someone.

Although it was just a stone figure, its lifelike appearance made Fu Long suspect that this stone figure was once a real human being.

Chapter 385 Long-haired Woman

Fu Long used the circle directly, but found that there was no trace of any living being within it.

In other words, there are no living people in this place.
