Chapter 1421: 1421
<hr>
When Huo Long appeared, the world became a sea of flames . Those Silverwing Heavenly King Ants all had to retreat .
Huo Long’s flame energy grew more and more terrifying with each pa.s.sing second . After absorbing so many Divine Flame Crystals, its aura was now several times greater than the golden phoenix it had absorbed back then .
Now that it released its full power, the Ant King and Ant Queen’s expressions changed . The might of the Heaven Incinerating Flame cowed them . If Long Chen ordered it to attack, the consequences would be unthinkable .
They felt an irresistible terror in the face of the Heaven Incinerating Flame . Their powerful bodies didn’t fear blades, but they were afraid of fire .
Their wings were especially vulnerable . Once they were incinerated, they would never grow back . In that case, they would never be able to fly again .
“Human, what do you want?!” shouted the Ant King uneasily .
Of course, even if Long Chen wasn’t facing the Silverwing Heavenly King Ants, his opponents would still be uneasy . Huo Long was just that terrifying . It could annihilate this swarm in an instant .
Although the Ant King and Ant Queen might be able to survive, so what? If their swarm was annihilated, their nation would still be ruined .
“Don’t panic . I said that I don’t want to fight against you . How about we just have a drink first?” Long Chen took out a jug of wine from his spatial ring, as well as a table and bowls .
The Ant King and Ant Queen exchanged a look . They slowly walked over to Long Chen, as well as silently ordering the other ants to retreat .
If a battle really did start, they wouldn’t be the slightest bit of help . They would only increase the casualties .
Long Chen put away Huo Long . Pouring three bowls of wine, he smiled and said, “Are you two not afraid my wine might be poisoned?”
“The Silverwing Heavenly King Ants aren’t afraid of poison,” snorted the Ant Queen .

“Good . Then let me express my sincerity toward our business . Whether or not we can strike a deal today, I’d like to first offer my respect to both of you with this wine . ” Long Chen drank his wine in one gulp .
The Ant King and Ant Queen hesitated for a moment before drinking their wine as well . They truly weren’t afraid of poison, and they didn’t sense any danger before drinking, so they also drank it in one gulp .
“This wine…”
The Ant King and Ant Queen were shocked and delighted . This wine possessed a special Heavenly Dao realm . Even as Magical Beasts, they managed to sense the Heavenly Daos more clearly .
“Of course this wine is good wine, or how could I take it out to express my sincerity?” Long Chen smiled and poured out more wine .
This time, the Ant King and Ant Queen didn’t wait for Long Chen . They drank the wine in one gulp again .
“Human, are you planning on making a trade?” asked the Ant Queen directly, pointing at the wine jug .
“This wine is just an expression of my sincerity and isn’t part of our business transaction . If you like it, you can just take it,” said Long Chen magnanimously .
“You’re not using the wine to trade with us? Then what are you using?” asked the Ant Queen, seeming a bit disappointed .
As Magical Beasts, they possessed long lifespans . This was the advantage the Heavenly Daos had blessed them with . However, their comprehension of the Heavenly Daos was significantly inferior to the human race .
That was why pureblooded Magical Beasts that had reached the eleventh rank would normally transform to take human form . Humans were the most spiritual of all lifeforms, and this form allowed them to get closer to the Heavenly Daos .
The Ant King and Ant Queen were eleventh rank Magical Beasts, which was why they normally stayed in their human forms to cultivate .
They had never imagined that drinking wine could allow them to get closer to the heavenly Daos . That was why they were addicted to this feeling after just one taste .
“The wine’s usage is limited . You drink it and your comprehension only increases ever so slightly . What I’m offering will allow your future descendants to be immune to fire,” said Long Chen .
“What?! Impossible!” Both the Ant King and Ant Queen let out a startled cry . Their fear of fire was innate and could not be changed .
“Whether or not it’s possible is dependent on how much mithril essence you have,” said Long Chen . Clearly, this business was possible . When doing business, all you needed to know was what the other side needed most .
What he offered them was a way to make up for their one fatal weakness . It was enough to make them insane .
“If you can really do this, my Silverwing Heavenly King Ant colony will give you everything we’ve acc.u.mulated over thirteen hundred years,” said the Ant King .
