Chapter 412: Natural Variant

He was distracted for just a moment before Zong Shou turned back his focus back in front of him.
The human-shaped ant queen was still continuously struggling. A strong violent intent rose up from within its body.
Zong Shou sighed, luckily he was careful. A master recognition spirit contract, a celestial talisman of unknown grade still wasn’t able to control the mind of this human-shaped ant queen.
This was bad. Not only did he not get a helper as he had wanted, but a large portion of his focus was also being held up.
At this moment, if it wasn’t for the grade 7 flood dragon threatening at the side and Zong Yuan protecting. He could only escape, cutting a sorry figure.
He sat down cross legged once more, using his hands to form hand signs as he chanted out a bunch of special incantations.
The spirit contract soul control formation hidden in the ant queen was suddenly activated.
Mental energy continuously injected inwards, charging and washing at the soul of his human shaped ant queen.
However as time went on, Zong Shou’s expression turned serious and he stopped.
The soul of this human-shaped ant queen was scarily strong. Zong Shou used his soul power to attack, but no matter what he did, he was unable to shake it one single bit—unable to truly invade the mind of this human-shaped ant queen.
He could feel that inside of it, the soul was cold and desolate. Although it looked like a wingman, its mind was still like that of a crystal ant.
As for the Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman, it could only seep in bit by bit.
At this moment, Zong Shou had a headache. He could see that the celestial talisman had an exceptional ability to be able to lock down on the soul of the human-shaped ant queen, but this needed a certain period of time.
At this moment, if he kept this human-shaped ant queen, he wasn’t at ease. Although he had a few spirit beast bags, there weren’t any defensive formations within. The moment he placed it in, it would probably charge out right away. He wouldn’t be able to ensure all ground is covered and he also didn’t have any methods to control this human-shaped ant queen.
He could only take his leave first. After he returns, then he would think of a method. If he was unable to restrict it, then he could only bear the pain and kill it. This type of heaven and earth variant, although hard to obtain, wasn’t as precious as his life. Putting this ticking time bomb by his side was would just kill him.
Once again he changed the incantation, the flame picture within his soul ocean came alive once again.
Within the body of the human-shaped ant queen, a red flame suddenly ignited and burnt brightly. It was the sky burning flame of the Lu family.
At this time, the human-shaped ant queen finally calmed down, more red flames rose up from around its body to go against the Lu family sky burning flame.
Even though it was burning around it, it showed no signs of being unable to handle it. Its silver armor showed no signs of melting, the white flame flickering. Although it was at a disadvantage it could maintain itself.
Zong Shou scoffed, he expected that this sky burning flame wouldn’t be able to handle it. Following which he flicked his finger and tried to flick out a purple lightning ball. However, he saw a spiritual mark appear within the purple eyes of the human-shaped ant queen like it was a weird spiritual formation that followed its gaze and looked over.
Zong Shou’s eyelids jumped and he knew that something was wrong. He instinctively wanted to close his eyes but he was unable to avoid exchanging glances with it. Then he felt a vast soul energy charging right into his soul.
First, he felt a little giddy and when he came back to his senses. One more mark appeared in his soul ocean.
Zong Yuan was also shocked by this change, taking several steps forwards and blocking in front of Zong Shou.
The purple lightning spear in his hand pointed at that human shaped queen, but it wasn’t moving at all. Like it was dead as it stood quietly amongst that red colored sky burning flame.
First, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then Zong Yuan’s mind was on full alert once more. His spear still pointed forwards and he didn’t dare be distracted for just a moment, warily looking on. He asked worryingly, “Ruler are you okay?”
Zong Shou kept silent and didn’t reply, quietly sitting there for a long while. He carefully observed that mark and after a while, he laughed awkwardly.
“I am fine! However, this time, it’s like I have been hunting a wild goose day and night, but this time it had pecked my eye…”
After standing up, Zong Shou’s expression was unusually complicated as he looked at the human-shaped ant queen. The beautiful and noble, dream-like and elf-like creature was still ice cold as it stared right at him. Within its purple gold eyes, there was no temperature at all.
“Just now it was a spirit seal, similar to the shared life spirit formation but it is also a little different, it should be one of its natural special abilities. If it dies my soul will also be badly injured. However, I can borrow this spirit seal to display some of its abilities and even share a portion of its life…”
Zong Yuan didn’t understand but when he heard that if this human-shaped ant queen dies and Zong Shou’s soul would be damaged. He understood, his eyes lighting up, “It is afraid that ruler would kill it or purposely send it to its death!”
Speaking about that, Zong Yuan took in a deep cold breath. What the human-shaped ant queen wanted was for Zong Shou and it to restrain one another. Zong Shou could still use the master recognition spirit contract formation and the Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman to restrict this human-shaped ant queen.
However, such an exceptional variant being could also rely on this shared life spirit seal to ensure its safety.
Zong Shou’s brows were furrowed as he rubbed the center of his brows in a distressed manner.
If nothing went wrong, that shared life mark should have come from its mother and Ant Zhenren’s coexistence.
Who knows how but it became a special ability of this human shaped ant queen.
What he had a headache about was how he was going to deal with this thing.
This shared life spirit mark to him wasn’t something that couldn’t be solved. Only the price was slightly heavy and he needed to lose close to ⅙ of his soul power. He would need several months to be able to recover.
“Interesting, this little thing has intellect no weaker than humans.”
After breaking out of its shell it instantly attacked because it knew that the Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman and the master recognition spirit contract would control its soul as time goes on such that it wouldn’t be able to resist.
With the assassination attempt failing, it felt that it should change a method, to use this type of co-restricting method to cause him to be unable to harm it.
In terms of intelligence, the lightning winged flood dragon and Little Zhi also had intelligence, roughly that of an 8-year-old kid, the innocent and naive type.
However, this human-shaped ant queen was different. The moment it was born it was like an adult, that was truly surprising.
Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou waved his sleeves and scattered the sky burning flame.
This shared life spirit mark originated from the shared life formation from Ant Zhenren, naturally, it didn’t favor the protector beast.
Zong Shou also inherited the natural powers of the human-shaped ant queen. If Zong Shou died, it would also definitely die too.
This was why Zong Shou was afraid that the human-shaped ant queen would resist once more and attack him again.
In the next instance, that pair of purple gold eyes looked towards him once more. Then, that silver-white pure body flashed. Its 6 pairs of transparent thin wings flapped lightly as it arrived outside of the spell altar.
4 knife lights flashing as it pierced into the body of a grade 6 demon eye lion.
Blood instantly spurted as this grade 6 demon being was unable to put up a fight before it was killed. A hole was pierced through the center of its brows.
That saintly white flame crazily burned instantly melting the blood and meat of the demon eye lion, turning it into threads of white essence energy and merging into that silver white body.
Following which that human-shaped ant queen turned into a white, swift light as it circled the spell altar.
It pierced the hearts of multiple beasts, and they died on the spot.
Especially those evil spirits and demon beings. That burning saint white flame seemed to be like their natural enemy. Like where that white flame passed, the evil demon energy around was being destroyed without any resistance!
Zong Shou’s lips curled up and showed a light mocking intent. After using the shared life mark, was it displaying its value to him?
It was indeed really strong, even above his lightning winged flood dragon! Not only was it extremely swift, but its silver armor was also really tough. Its 2 pairs of knife arms were no weaker than grade 8 spirit weapons. Its small body also hid extremely strong strength!
Such level of combat strength could even compare to some grade 8 beasts which were a little slower!
However, if it was just this he wouldn’t be impressed. He would have many chances to obtain strong protector beasts in the future. He didn’t have to take a risk to spend close to ¼ of his soul on the life or death of this human-shaped ant queen!
Such a dangerous spirit pet. Even after the shared life spirit mark, which made it on the same level as a natural protector beast, he wasn’t willing to use it!
In his mind, he slowly made his mind up. His gaze also became more and colder.
In the next instance, he saw numerous white flames burn up around that human shaped ant queen which swept all around. It caused the beasts and evil being bodies that he killed to all melt, turning into essence energy as it gathered towards its body.
Even the fur and armor were melted and seeped into its body.
Zong Shou’s pupils constricted and guessed that this was probably the way this human shaped ant queen ate. No wonder after it was born it didn’t have a mouth.
A moment later the armor on this human shaped ant queen slowly opened up. A ball of similar silver light thing was pushed out from within and was continuously growing and separating. Only after it grew to 2 inches in length did the ant queen wave its knife and cut off the connection between the 2!
It was a flying ant that looked a little like the crystal ant from before. However it was extremely beautiful, an exquisite looking naturally formed body didn’t look as vicious as the demon fire crystal ant. Its silver-colored shell made it look gorgeous.
On its back, there were 4 pairs of transparent wings which also had 2 pairs of knife arms. Around its body also burnt a white colored flame, only its quality was a little weaker.
Zong Shou and Zong Yuan both exchanged glances with one another, both of them in total shock. The same thought flashed across his mind-splitting reproduction!
The moment it was born, it didn’t need time to incubate, right away having extremely strong combat strength.
…He didn’t ask for too much, even if it had only half of the strength of the ant queen it would be shocking!
