Since they couldn't speak in the water, they could only communicate with eye contact.
Seeing Great Sage's odd look, Li Mo didn't know what he was up to. All he could do was dive with him!
Great Sage's goal was the shore, but they didn't.
Instead, not far from the shore, a dark hole that led to an unknown place had appeared. The Great Sage took the lead and swam in!
Li Mo swam in without hesitation, though he didn't know how long this hole was, or if he could hold his breath.
But even if he choked to death in the water, it was better than being devoured by the Bone Eroding Giant Ants until not even his bones were left!
Fortunately, the waterway wasn't that long.
Just as Li Mo's lungs were about to run out of oxygen, Great Sage helped him to climb out of the hole!
* Hu … *
After greedily breathing in the fresh air, Li Mo and Great Sage didn't dare linger and dashed into the forest.
Who knew if all the Bone Eroding Giant Ants died in the river. If more came, they'd be in big trouble.
Great Sage was still full of energy, while Li Mo didn't have time to rest due to the lack of oxygen in the water. Running for a while slowed him down.
* Wu … *
Great Sage hauled Li Mo on his back and bolted for the mound!
"S-Great Sage, what are you doing?
Don't tell me you're going back to the ant nest!
What if there are still more of these ants there? "
Li Mo panted heavily as he sat on top of the Great Sage's descendant.
* Wu … *
Great Sage wasn't as worried as he was, grunting twice in response.
As if telling Li Mo to shut up, everything was under his control.
Li Mo saw that Great Sage had no intention of stopping, so he could only lie on Great Sage's back and recover his energy.
He knew Great Sage wouldn't harm him. 'Let it do what it wants!'
A quarter of an hour later, they were back at the mound.
What was different from before was that although there were no more scalp-numbing Bone-eroding Giant Ants here, the silence was a little scary!
Great Sage put Li Mo down and went to the top of the mound.
"Roar …"
An earth-shattering roar reverberated!
This was Li Mo's first time seeing the Great Sage in such a state.
As the king of the forest, it must have been furious after being chased by these troublesome fellows. It wanted to destroy this place to take revenge on these Bone-Corroding Giant Ants!
Li Mo didn't stop him. Destroying this place would be of great benefit to the humans in the Misty Forest.
Dong dong dong …
The Great Sage pounded his chest a few times, then raised his fists and smashed them down on the mound.
Boom!
Immediately, dust filled the air, as if a hurricane was blowing.
Li Mo felt the earth shaking from tens of meters away. He hastily covered his face, afraid the dust would get into his eyes.
When the dust settled, Li Mo finally got a taste of Great Sage's dominance!
Compared to the Great Sage's attack he had seen in the past, the difference was like heaven and earth.
There was no longer any mound in front of him. After the Great Sage's heavy blow, it had become a depression several meters deep!
"My God!
Was this the true strength of the Giant Adamantine Ape?
If this fist landed on anyone, they'd be turned into meat paste! "
Li Mo watched in a daze as he gained a new understanding of the Great Sage!
But Li Mo's shock was yet to come.
In the center of the depression, the soft earth began to shake as if something was about to break out!
Li Mo's mind went back to the Bone-Corroding Giant Ants.
"Great Sage, come back!
Those Bone Eroding Giant Ants are coming out again! "
No matter how loud Li Mo yelled, the Great Sage was unmoved. He just stood there, watching the earth shake.
Boom …
The earth flew as the thing broke out of the ground!
Li Mo almost stumbled at the sight of it.
It was an ant even bigger than the Great Sage!
Its body was black with a hint of red, with a pair of transparent wings on its back and a huge mandible opening and closing.
Li Mo believed that even if a tree was placed in front of it, it would still be snapped in half!
"I-is this the Bone-Corroding Ant Queen?!"
Li Mo cried out in disbelief.
The Bone-Corroding Ant Queen didn't exist in every Bone-Corroding Giant Ant's nest.
Not only did it have all the attacks of the Bone-Corroding Giant Ants, but it also had the ability to fly, using formic acid to attack its enemies.
Compared to its offspring, it was countless times more troublesome!
Looking at the size of this Bone-Eroding Giant Ant, it should have existed in this world for at least a thousand years. Moreover, it had evolved from a level one monster beast to a level six monster beast.
"Great Sage!
Great Sage!
Come back!
It's also a sixth level demon! "
Li Mo shouted at the top of his lungs even though he knew Great Sage was stronger than this guy.
But he was afraid the Great Sage would be hurt. If something happened, it would be a huge loss!
But the Great Sage didn't reply. His eyes flashed with excitement at the sight of the ant queen.
It was as if the Bone-Corroding Giant Ants were lured away for the sake of this ant queen!
"Roar …"
With a roar, the Great Sage took the lead in attacking the ant queen.
His huge fist swung at the ant queen!
Thump …
The ant queen's huge body was sent flying. When it hit the ground, its hard shell caved in.
But it didn't retaliate, as if it knew the Great Sage was the king of Misty Woods. Its innate fear triumphed over the grudge of destroying its home.
Swish …
Not only that, the ant queen didn't even have the courage to face the Great Sage. It fled into the depths of the woods!
Li Mo didn't think this would be the result, leaving him baffled.
He thought the Great Sage would be done with him, but the Great Sage didn't plan on letting him go.
He darted in the ant queen's direction!
"F * ck!
Wait for me! "
Li Mo didn't want to stay here alone. The ant nest was no more, but the dark and dense horde left a shadow in his heart that he couldn't get rid of!
The speed of the sixth level demon beasts wasn't something Li Mo's current strength could match.
He didn't even take two steps before he lost track of them.
Li Mo stopped in his tracks and jumped on top of a tree.
He didn't want to put himself in danger again by chasing after them. After all, there would be other Demonic Beasts appearing here.
If he ran into another sixth level demon, he would be done for without the Great Sage's protection.
"Forget it, I'll just wait for the Great Sage.
He won't leave me here, will he? "
