The three of Ye Qiu came to the front of the stone tablet, looked up, and there were several lines of words engraved on the stone tablet.
The Long-browed True Man recognized for a while and read it out：
”This place is extremely dangerous. In order to prevent outsiders from accidentally entering this place, I deliberately set up three checkpoints.”
”The first level is poisonous miasma.”
”As for the second and third levels, they are temporarily kept secret.”
”If a disciple of Longhu Mountain comes here, he must pass the three levels by himself without the help of any external force. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain. Remember this well.”
”I hope future generations will enter carefully, carefully！”
On the back of the stone tablet, the signature is still the name of Zhang Tianshi.
“Longhu Mountain, Zhang Daoling！”
After reading it, the Long-browed True Man laughed and said, “Little brat, I was right, wasn’t I? The poisonous miasma was set up by our Patriarch.”
“Hmph, you just got lucky.” Ye Qiu snorted coldly.
“Uncle, the Patriarch set up a total of three checkpoints, and we still have to face the tests of the next two checkpoints.” Shui Sheng said.
The Long-browed True Man smiled and said, “The Patriarch is an enlightened and highly accomplished immortal, full of compassion. He set up these checkpoints just to prevent outsiders from accidentally entering this place. As disciples of Longhu Mountain, the Patriarch will not make things difficult for us.”
Shui Sheng nodded. “Well, what Uncle said makes sense.”
“There’s no time to waste. Let’s keep up the good work and strive to pass the next two checkpoints in one go. Let’s go！”
The Long-browed True Man was very excited and strode forward.
Ye Qiu and Shui Sheng closely followed behind.
The three entered the canyon.
The scenery was different from before.
both sides of the canyon were bare rocks with not a blade of grass growing.
“Uncle, what do you think the second checkpoint set up by the Patriarch will be？” Shui Sheng asked curiously.
The Long-browed True Man said, “The Patriarch has supernatural powers, and how can I guess his thoughts.”
The three walked two hundred meters inside the canyon.
“Look ahead.” Ye Qiu suddenly said.
The Long-browed True Man and Shui Sheng simultaneously looked up and saw three leopards walking towards them in the front.
Each leopard is as tall as a person, mighty and fierce.
“Could this be the second level set by the grand master？” Aquatic was a little scared and quickly hid behind True Man Long Eyebrows.
“Little brat, what do you think？” True Man Long Eyebrows asked Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu said, “Just as you said, Zhang Tianshi’s methods are extraordinary. I think these three leopards should not be arranged by him.”
“I think so too.” said the Long-browed True Man. “The grandmaster is a legendary figure from a thousand years ago. and looking at the size of these three leopards, they should have only lived for more than ten years.”
”Then how did they appear here？” asked Shui Sheng.
Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man exchanged a look, and both of them thought of a possibility.
Strayed into this place！
Just then, the three leopards stopped in their tracks, their sharp eyes sweeping around, and at the same time, their bodies tilted slightly forward, making an offensive gesture.
“Zhi zhi zhi——”
Inside the canyon, a strange sound was heard, a bit like the chirping of insects, and a bit like the chirping of young birds.
About three minutes passed.
Suddenly, a hole broke open on the ground, and a fist-sized, red animal crawled out of the hole.
Ye Qiu initially thought it was a mouse. Only after he carefully observed for a while did he realize that the animal was not a mouse but an ant.
“Damn it, how could there be such a big ant？”
Ye Qiu was so shocked that his eyes bulged and his mouth hung open.
Shuisheng said, “An ant as big as a fist, surely it must have a lot of meat. It should be delicious when grilled, Shibo…”
”Shut up！”
The Long-browed True Man stared fixedly at that ant, his expression extremely serious.
”Old thing, have you noticed something？” Ye Qiu asked.
The Long-browed True Man replied, “This ant is a bit like the legendary Soul-devouring Ant.”
”Soul-devouring Ant？” Ye Qiu was stunned.
The Long-browed True Man explained, “I once saw the description of the Soul-devouring Ant in an ancient book. The Soul-devouring Ant is bright red all over like blood, shaped like a fist, with sharp teeth, likes meat, lives in groups, and can devour all things.”
Ye Qiu didn’t quite believe it. “But it’s just an ant. How can it devour all things? Isn’t that an exaggeration！”
”Whether it’s an exaggeration or not, I don’t know. Anyway, that’s what it says in the ancient book.”
While the Long-browed True Man was speaking, the Soul-devouring Ants kept crawling out of the hole.
In a short while, there were hundreds of Soul-devouring Ants on the ground. The previous “squeak squeak” sounds were emitted from their mouths.
After they climbed out of the ground, they quickly surrounded the three leopards.
”Roar -”
The three leopards let out uneasy roars from their mouths.
However, those Soul-Eating Ants seemed not to have heard and in the blink of an eye, they climbed onto the three leopards.
Immediately, the three leopards let out shrill screams.
In less than five minutes, the three leopards were eaten clean, leaving only three skeletons on the ground.
“This…”
Ye Qiu took a deep breath of cold air.
After eating the three leopards, those Soul-Eating Ants quickly turned around and crawled towards Ye Qiu and the others.
“Quickly retreat.”
Just as Ye Qiu finished speaking, he heard the “zhi zhi zhi” sound coming from all directions.
Ye Qiu looked around and only then discovered that there were also Soul-Eating Ants on both sides of the canyon, thousands and thousands of them, like a great army, quickly surrounding them.
They were once again in a surrounded situation.
“Uncle-Master, what should we do？” Looking at the approaching Soul-Eating Ants, Shui Sheng was so scared that his whole body trembled.
“If I’m not wrong, this should be the second checkpoint set up by the Grandmaster. Don’t worry, the Grandmaster won’t harm us.”
Although the Long-Browed True Man said so, in fact, his heart was also very flustered.
Because those Soul-Eating Ants were approaching them and showed no sign of stopping at all.
A moment later, the encirclement was compressed to less than two meters.
In imminent danger.
”Old thing, do you still have a life-saving talisman？ Can it deal with these soul-devouring ants？” Ye Qiu asked quickly.
The Long-browed True Man had a long face and said, “There is only one life-saving talisman in the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain, and I have already used it.”
”Since that’s the case, then we can only fight them.”
Qiang！
Ye Qiu pulled out the Emperor Sword Chixiao and shouted sharply at the approaching soul-devouring ants, “Get lost！”
Zhi zhi zhi——
Originally, hundreds of soul-devouring ants that were close to Ye Qiu actively moved aside, making a path, and the situation was exactly the same as the miasma they had encountered before.
Huh？
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows. Could it be that these beasts can understand human language？
”Let’s go！”
Ye Qiu took a step forward.
The Long-browed True Man and Shui Sheng were about to follow Ye Qiu’s pace. Unexpectedly, hundreds of soul-devouring ants crossed over from the side and blocked them.
”Uncle Shi, what should we do？” Shui Sheng was so anxious that he was about to cry.
”How do I know what to do.” The Long-browed True Man was also extremely anxious in his heart.
Seeing that the soul-devouring ants were getting closer and closer to them, and they could even clearly see their antennae and sharp teeth. In horror, Shui Sheng let out a loud roar, “Get out of the way.”
Hua hua hua！
The soul-devouring ants seemed to be frightened and quickly got out of the way.
The Long-browed True Man was stunned. Could this work？
