Chapter 56: This Is Money-grubbing, Killing All in One Fell Swoop

“Why? Are you guys afraid?”

Ling Jiu glanced at his team members .

“Captain Ling, this is not fear, but we don’t want to die for nothing!” Huang Hailong smiled bitterly . “These are Greatmaw Ants, we have no chance of winning against them!”

“Yeah, Captain Ling, the 3000 Third-Order Greatmaw Ants aside, just the seven to eight Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ants alone are not something we can deal with!”

Chen Feng also chimed in . “Captain Ling, how about we withdraw first, and wait until we find a safe method to deal with them? This is just too risky!”

Although the other team members did not speak, their faces were full of reluctance . It was not that they were afraid of death, but the power gap between them and the Greatmaw Ants was too great .

They did not want to die for nothing!

“A Third-Order Greatmaw Ant can be sold for about 1 million!” Ling Jiu faintly said, “There are 3000 of them here, which is worth about 3 billion . You guys sure you don’t want this 3 billion?”

“Three… billion!!”

The team members all swallowed their saliva, as a gleam of green light appeared in their eyes . But the moment they recalled the terrifying power of the Greatmaw Ants, they still shook their heads .

“Captain Ling, forget it . While 3 billion is tempting, what’s the point if you lose your life?”

“Yeah, Captain Ling…”

“Fine! Since you guys don’t want it, I’ll take this 3 billion for myself!”

Ling Jiu waved his hand . “You guys retreat to somewhere safe first!”

“Ling Jiu, you are going to…”

Chen Feng’s expression changed, and Ling Jiu had already rushed out .

“Captain Ling!”

Chen Feng yelled, but Ling Jiu was too fast, and in a blink of an eye he appeared in front of the Greatmaw Ant’s nest and rushed into the Greatmaw Ants’ encirclement .

“Cap’n Chen, what should we do?”

“You ask me, who the hell should I ask then?”

“Captain Ling is just too reckless! There are 3,000 Greatmaw Ants there, him charging over just like that, what’s the difference then throwing himself onto his death?”

The team members almost freaked out . They were reluctant to advance as they did not want to die for nothing, but to watch on as Ling Jiu get killed surrounded by the Greatmaw Ants… They simply could not do that!

Advance?

They dared not!

Run?

They were too embarrassed to do so!

For a moment, the team members fell into a painful dilemma .

While they struggled, Ling Jiu wasn’t . At this moment, he seemed to be like a tiger that had broken into a sheep corral and was slaughtering the Greatmaw Ants with gleeful abandon .

The Greatmaw Ants were not that big, about the size of an ordinary yak . Their bodies were grayish-brown in color and were covered in barbed armor, even their legs had barbed lined throughout .

Their giant pincer-like teeth that looked out of proportion stood out . The Greatmaw Ants were named after that .

The massive tooth was the killer tool of the Greatmaw Ants, and the closing speed of the maw was terrifying, 2300 times faster than the blink of a human’s eye .

That is to say, once bitten by the Greatmaw Ant, that pair of pincers can cut your body 2300 times in an instant .

Two thousand three hundred times!

How does this even begin to compare?

So, one could not allow them to get close, much less getting bitten by them . Otherwise, even level 4 Arcanist would simply just perish .

Fortunately, Ling Jiu did not fear these sort of speed-type Direbeasts, as the 8G gravity descended and covered a radius of 100 meters .

Even if the Greatmaw Ants were powerful, but under the pressure of 8 times the gravity, their movement speed was severely hampered .

“Sand Spear Rain!”

The osmium soil floated in the air and quietly formed into long spears, and then fell from the sky like pouring rain . As the whistling rip of the air rang out, countless spears rained upon that radius of 100 meters .

Enhanced by the 8G gravity, the spears became extremely heavy, and the speed of their fall accelerated, and naturally, the lethality was even more terrifying .

Dush dush dush!

The sound of torn flesh and broken limbs rang out . As a volley of spear rain fell, the Greatmaw Ants within a hundred-meter radius were all turned into pin-cushions and were dead .

“Very good!”

Ling Jiu waved his hand, and the Greatmaw Ant corpses all disappeared one by one, and a moment later, that hundred-meter radius turned into an empty spot, with only blood splatters wordlessly painting the horrific scene earlier .

…

The team members stared at the scene with stunned silence . All of them gawked so much that one could fit an egg into their mouths . “A hundred Greatmaw Ants died just like that?”

“Oh my god! How strong is Captain Ling?”

“No wonder he dared to single-handedly take on the Greatmaw Ant swarm . He was actually that strong!”

“Hiss… Hiss… Hiss…”

Just as the team members were in shock, Greatmaw Ants swarmed out from the other side of the nest like a disturbed hornet’s nest .

In a blink of an eye, the nest was once again full of Greatmaw Ants numbering in the hundreds . And the massive Greatmaw Ant was particularly eye-catching .

It was two to three times the size of the other Greatmaw Ants, with a pair of cicada-like wings on its back, standing out like a king before the rabble .

“Another swarm of hundreds of Greatmaw Ants, and among them is a Fourth-Order one, I wonder how Captain Ling will respond this time?”

The team members pondered in silence .

How would he deal with them?

Ling Jiu pointed to the void . “Sand Spear Rain!”

Vooosh, vooosh!!

Another volley of stone spears fell .

Dush dush dush!

A moment later, a hundred-odd Greatmaw Ants perished once again, and only the Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ant was unharmed .

The thorned carapace on its body was extremely sturdy, and the power of the stone spears was not enough to penetrate its carapace and kill it .

“Hiss…”

The Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ant seemed to be angered as it let out a cry into the sky and vibrated its wings as it charged at Ling Jiu in an instant .

The huge maw gleamed under the sunlight, making sure that no one doubted its sharpness .

The moment the maw closes, with its astonishing biting speed of 2300 times in an instant, was definitely enough to rip anything it catches into pieces .

“Good timing!”

Ling Jiu let out a laugh, as the osmium soil around him gathered, and suddenly, he transformed into a gleaming silver giant ten meters tall .

“This is…”

Seeing Ling Jiu’s sudden transformation, all of the team members opened their eyes wide, as Bai Yue exclaimed . “This is the Top-level Earth-element secret Arcana technique, the Rock Giant!”

“A top-level secret Arcana technique?”

“Captain Ling is really loaded . A top-level secret technique is worth a billion . We won’t be able to afford one even if we were to struggle for a dozen years . I did not expect him to buy that within a year of awakening his Arcana!”

“Eight times the force of gravity!”

In the face of the charging Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ant, Ling Jiu did not retreat but went on the offensive . The moment the Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ant approached with its maw open wide, the 8G gravity came crashing down .

Bam!

The Greatmaw Ant was slammed into the ground, and before it could regain its balance, the iron fists of the Rock Giant came crashing, and a loud crack thundered as the Greatmaw Ant’s brain exploded .

The Greatmaw Ant twitched twice… before falling silent .

“Ten million… in the pocket!”

Ling Jiu dispersed the osmium soil and looked at the dead Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ant as a smile appeared on his face .

The Greatmaw Ants were a leader among the Direbeasts of the same order, and they were worth much more than an average Direbeast . A Third-Order Greatmaw Ant was worth a million!

A Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ant was worth 10 million!

In other words, in just a short time, he had already earned 210 million as if he was just picking up spare change!

“Too strong!”

“Captain Ling is just too tough!”

“This is literally robbery!”

The team members were all speechless, but what shocked them even more was after killing these swarm of Greatmaw Ants, Ling Jiu did not wait for more to appear but went inside the nest of the Greatmaw Ants .

“F*ck me!”

“What is Captain Ling trying to do?”

“Is he thinking that killing like this is just too slow, so he wants to rush into their nest, and destroy the entire nest in one fell swoop?”

“One fell swoop? F*ck me!”

“Is he even human?”
