Chapter 383 Ants of Gold

It sounds like leaves rustling in the wind. This regular, neat and subtle sound reminds Lin Luoran of many silkworm babies raised by Mrs. Lin when she was a child. They also made a neat sound when they ate mulberry leaves.

What comes for Lin Luoran is definitely not cute silkworm babies.

This sound can make people’s scalp tingly from one kilometer away even without using spiritual mind. It cannot be from harmless silkworm babies but extremely troublesome ants of Gold.

Lin Luoran knows ants of Gold are Rank Two monsters. Three months ago, she hid in the dark and saw a group of golden ants eating a Rank Six python. In the end, there was only a skeleton left. She was amazed at how powerful this group of ants are so she stealthily picked up an ant’s body. Its monster bolus was just the size of a peanut. From its Reiki, she knew it was a Rank Two monster.

Lin Luoran is going to cast a spell to completely wash off the smell of purple berries on her hands. However, an idea suddenly comes to her. Now she thinks being chased by them may not be a completely bad thing.

She just keeps on moving forward. Monsters nearby all run away because of ants of Gold or the smell from her body. Therefore, Lin Luoran’s journey goes very smoothly.

She meets aggressive ants of Gold before long. The head of an ant is the size of an orange. Lin Luoran only can see a golden sea like a boundless wheat field. These ants even eat poisonous flowers on their way here. The colorful jungle in the direction of where ants of Gold come becomes stream-shape and golden “wheat sea” on the horizon.

Lin Luoran and ants come into unavoidable confrontation but the ants seem to lose their mind.

The spearhead of ants of Gold stops abruptly and are not excited anymore. Ants behind do not know what happened so they just recklessly step on the body of the spearhead. Later on, they follow the same old disastrous road of their vanguard.

Lin Luoran knows it is because she has both the smell of purple berries and stinky mushroom which low-rank monsters hate so much. One is their favorite “cuisine” while another is the mushroom they avoid like the plague… Lin Luoran can understand the dilemma of the ant army. She thinks about it and walks forward boldly to come closer to the team of ants of Gold.

Ants of Gold smell her and they could not help avoiding her. However, Lin Luoran moves in a flash when these ants are pus.h.i.+ng each other. It gives her the opportunity to go deep into the center of this army.

An extremely weird scene appears when ants of Gold organize their team well.

Lin Luoran is standing in the center of the ants. Within a five-meter radius of her circle, a vacant lot is formed. Ants of Gold form a circle around this range. They dare not move forward and they are reluctant to leave.

Some ants of Gold feel unreconciled and try to spray formic acid onto Lin Luoran. She notices it and sets up a magical s.h.i.+eld.

Formic acid like saliva ends up falling only two meters away from her and all gra.s.s there withers in an instant. Lin Luoran feels so relieved. The distance of five meters is great so she doesn’t have to change her plan and waste Wakan.

Ants of Gold are not stupid. Some ants begin to prop each other up to deal with Lin Luoran, an enemy making them feel complex.

Lin Luoran won’t be so stupid to stand still. She will never just wait for them to stack up and spray farther.

She moves on.

As she moves, ants of Gold also move. This mighty army becomes her free bodyguard. Wherever she goes, she can’t see birds or beasts. For the first time, Lin Luoran can hold her head high on this island full of monsters.

Is she adorning herself with borrowed plumes?

Lin Luoran decides not to consider this question about shame.

It is noon now and the dense fog covering this island is dispersed. Lin Luoran looks out into the distance and she can see the contours of the mountain clearly.

A Rank Nine monster is hiding deep in the cloud.

Divinized cultivators have not been seen in this world for at least two thousand years. This strange island next to the Sea of Sin locates in this strange s.p.a.ce of another dimension connected to Mount Penglai. It is truly a paradise of monsters.

Thinking about facing a monster equivalent to a cultivator with Divinization personal ability, Lin Luoran can’t keep calm even with her current state of mind.

People in the world always say Spirit Mountain is gorgeous. However, who knows how dangerous it is?—and can the word “dangerous” conclude it all? If Lin Luoran hadn’t come here, she would never even have known everything she experienced here.

Monster boluses and various materials are not the most important thing. As the sentence often mentioned in some intellectual digests says, the process is the most significant compared with the ending.

The process like the Sea of Sin or the monster forest is very important to Lin Luoran.
