“An ant tide outbreak... is already inevitable!” The old man took a deep breath. “Meng Lei, the ant tide this time is fundamentally different from the historical ones. It will be fiercer and more terrible than any of the past ones. You have to be mentally prepared!”
“Understood!”
Meng Lei’s heart chilled. Then, he looked at Little Gold apologetically. “Little Gold, to protect my fellow humans from being eliminated by the ant tide, I have to be unfair to you.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Little Gold shook its head. “Ordinary subjects’ lives are short. Even if they aren’t killed, they will die naturally very soon. They won’t live to see me reach adulthood!”
“I’m assured then.”
Meng Lei heaved a sigh of relief. So long as Little Gold didn’t hate him because of this, the matters were much easier. “Let’s go, Little Gold. We’ll go to... Well, the next place.”
“Wait for me first.”
Little Gold rapidly crawled to the side of the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants’ carcasses and did something that shocked Meng Lei and Ol’ Amos greatly.
A golden ray of light suddenly shone from its two golden antennae, and circles of golden light spread out to cover a radius of a hundred meters.
In the next moment, an inexplicable scene happened.
The Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants that were illuminated by the golden light actually quietly melted up like ice that met strong sunlight and turned into splashes of red liquid.
Buzz!
Little Gold opened its mouth to suck, and these red liquids strangely floated up. They then flew into Little Gold’s mouth like birds returning to their nests.
Burp~
Little Gold burped, and its aura actually... grew a little?
“This...”
Meng Lei and Ol’ Amos looked at each other, both stunned!

Little Gold has such an ability?
Meng Lei found this incredible.
Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants are Sixth-Grade Magical Beasts, and their entire bodies are as hard as steel. Even magical weapons enhanced with Battle Aura can hardly break their carcasses...
But Little Gold... It melted them by releasing one ray of golden light? This is totally far more terrible even than the most concentrated sulfuric acid!
“Ol’ President, what ability is this?”
Meng Lei swallowed his saliva.
“No idea!” Ol’ Amos shook his head. “Since ancient times, humans have known very little about Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ant Monarchs. Except that they are double-elemental Magical Beasts of strength and spirit, nothing else is known.”
“Alright!”
Within mere minutes, all the Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants carcasses had all turned into red liquid and got swallowed into Little Gold’s belly.
Amazing...
After eating thousands of kilos of carcasses, with the exception of Little Gold’s aura, which improved significantly, there was actually no change in any other aspect. Its body didn’t change at all!
“Where did it put all those ant carcasses?”
Meng Lei took a breath as it deeply shocked him once again.
Ol’ Amos sighed slowly and said emotionally, “We still know too little about Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ant Monarchs.”
“That’s right!”
After swallowing all the ant carcasses, Little Gold burped in satisfaction, and then returned to Meng Lei’s side. Its shiny golden head rubbed against Meng Lei, looking very affectionate.
Meng Lei’s look was complicated. “Little Gold, you ate all those Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants... Where are they stored?”
“In my belly!” Little Gold blinked its big eyes. ‘We Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants all have very big stomachs. Ordinary subjects can hold food up to 100 times their own weight. I’m the ant monarch, so I can hold 10,000 times my own weight of food.”
“10,000... times?”
Meng Lei’s whole body shivered, and he almost peed from the shock. Ol’ Amos also shivered from the shock, and his face turned white.
They were both astonished!
Yet this wasn’t all, as Little Gold added, “I’m still in the juvenile stage. I can only hold so much food! The former ant monarch was really great, as he could swallow a big mountain in one go!”
When mentioning the former ant monarch, Little Gold’s eyes were full of reverence. Predictably, the former ant monarch had left an unerasable impression in its young mind.
“A big mountain...”
Meng Lei and Ol’ Amos fell silent instantly.
They were silent for a long while before Meng Lei finally sighed and said, “I finally understand why an ant tide army is so horrible. Every Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ant is a moving extra-large spatial magical device. How can it not be horrible?”
Ol’ Amos had more experiences, and his understanding was deeper. His eyes shone with bright light. “Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants’ stomachs should form a space of their own. The stomach space of the ant monarch is especially extraordinary. It seems that they are not just double-elemental Magical Beasts of strength and spirit!”
“There’s still a space element!?” exclaimed Meng Lei said.
“That’s right! There’s still a space element!” The old man nodded slowly. “In this world that we live in, apart from the most common and basic ten magical elements, there are some very rare magic attributes that are nonetheless real, or used to be real but have already gotten lost over time, such as Soul magic, Space magic, Dead Spirit magic, Time magic, and so on!”
“Space, Dead Spirit, Time magic?” Meng Lei muttered in a low voice.
“Heaven’s Vault Continent has existed for too long a history. In different periods, the living beings were different, and the main magic cultivated was quite different as well.”
The old man sighed. “With the passing of time, many rare yet very strong types of magic have disappeared in history, but there are always some little bits of records that remain.
“Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants are a typical example. Though this race’s strength isn’t exceptional, they have a rare triple element of strength, spirit, and space, especially with the space element ingrained in the depth of their bloodline, it is such a wonder!”
Meng Lei let out a breath and also felt great amazement.
