At this moment, the white-haired old man waved his hand and released a burst of spirit energy, like a gush of sword Qi. A ripple appeared in the air and started to slowly undulate.
"Formation!" Ye Xiao watched on as a formation was hidden in the void. The strand of spiritual energy that the white-haired old man had released earlier seemed ordinary, but it was like a key that allowed the formation to open as well.
Accompanying the fluctuations of space, a violet vortex suddenly appeared in the middle of the air, slowly rotating. It was like a gate of the starry sky, emitting an incomparably mysterious aura.
Suddenly, a huge crack gradually started to appear behind the formation. People were shocked to see another world on the other side of that crack.
Endless mountain ranges, ancient trees soaring into the sky, huge vines that coiled like dragons, and mountains that looked to climb as high as the heavens. However, people felt as if they were disconnected, and they were unable to sense that world's aura.
When that crack first appeared, that white-haired elder had immediately started forming hand seals. Following his hand seals, an enormous rune appeared behind him.
But if someone were to look at it closely, they would be able to tell that this rune was actually made of tens of thousands of smaller runes. That rune lit up this entire space.
An explosive sound rang out from the void. The purple vortex had completely opened up. It was completely misty and mysterious.
"The Secret Realm is open. All of you will enter the secret realm according to the rank of your countries!"
When the geniuses heard this, they followed suit.
All of them started to enter according to their countries rank.
First of all, the geniuses from the Grand Xia Empire entered the secret realm following behind them were the geniuses of the first-grade countries, and then second-grade countries and then third-grade countries.
When everyone stepped into the purple vortex, a purple power would quietly enter their bodies.
"This is leaving an imprint on your body. When the secret realm will be about to close, this imprint will help all of you to come out."
"If some of choose not to come out, this imprint will forcefully teleport them out of the secret realm."
The white-haired old man's voice floated over, causing everyone to let their guard down, and step in expectantly.
When Ye Xiao stepped into the purple door, without any surprise, a power that was similar to an imprint entered his body.
The white-haired old man has already explained about the imprint so Ye Xiao did not try to stop it.
In just an instant, Ye Xiao's body completely entered The Secret Realm.
In that instant, it was as if he passed through different dimensions of space and time, an incomparably wonderful feeling born in his heart.
Very quickly, the darkness disappeared, and Ye Xiao felt that he had landed on the ground. He looked around and immediately revealed a look of astonishment.
This was an incomparably magnificent dream-like world. Many flowers were blooming on the hillside, and there were also gurgling streams flowing all the way out of his sight.
At the moment, there was no one here other than himself. The other people seemed to have been teleported to other locations.
Ye Xiao did not immediately leave from the place he landed, but choose to inspect his surroundings carefully.
This Secret Realm was an unexplored Secret Realm and there can be many dangers at any place.
No matter what, safety was the priority.
After Ye Xiao looked around, he did not discover anything.
He chose a direction and started to move in that direction.
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, a shrill and miserable scream rang out from far away, and then a terrifying sound shaking the void rang out.
"Someone is already been killed!"
Ye Xiao's heart pounded heavily. This was only the beginning, he didn't expect a cultivator to die already. He simply didn't know what exactly the other party had provoked.
Immediately after, he activated his ability, the Spirit Devour Escape which he gained after completely merging with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, and flew toward the direction he was walking with an incomparable speed.
Soon, he saw a forest. Without stopping, he entered the forest.
The forest was vast, almost limitless. There were rotting plants all around, as well as some magical beasts and poisonous creatures that were hard to guard against.
Right now, in this forest, there were berserk beasts, poisonous creatures, and other powerful geniuses everywhere!
"Aooo!"
At this moment, an ear-piercing cry of a bird sounded out, then an enormous figure shot up into the sky, covering the sky and blotting out the sun as it swept up waves of fierce force.
"This is the Horned Eagle!"
Staring at the gigantic bird in the sky, Ye Xiao sighed in admiration. Every feather was as sharp as a sword and a cold light flickered within.
The Horned Eagle suddenly flapped its wings and dive toward Ye Xiao from the sky.
"What a sharp sight?"
Ye Xiao could not help but think in his heart then he once again activated the Spirit Devour Escape and with a 'woosh' sound, he disappeared from the place he was standing before.
The Horned Eagle missed its target and directly collided with a tree.
Exactly at this moment, Ye Xiao appeared behind the back of the Horned Eagle.
"Sacred Finger Art!"
He immediately executed the Sacred Finger Art which directly pierced in the back of the Horned Eagle.
"Aoo!"
The Horned Eagle screamed loudly. It once again flapped its big wings and flew in the sky.
it was badly injured by Ye Xiao and maybe it has high intelligence because of which, it clearly understood that it has no chance of winning against Ye Xiao. So, it directly escaped without even looking back at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was shocked as he looked at the escaping eagle. He never thought that just a mere eagle has this high intelligence in the Secret Realm.
After the Horned Eagle escaped, Ye Xiao continued to move forward. Not long after, he arrived at a place where there were many mountains.
The surrounding mountains had many bizarre stones as well as huge trees. There were many plants that didn't exist in the outer world.
"Starlight Flower"
Ye Xiao suddenly saw a precious medicinal herb located on a cliff not far from him. That herb was around a foot long, and there were many blue-coloured flowers that grew out of it.
Those flowers were extremely small and covered the plant. They looked like stars covering a sky. They emitted a faint scent.
The Starlight Flower was an extremely precious fifth tier medicinal herb, a rare main ingredient for some fifth grade medicinal pills.
Ye Xiao noticed that there were actually dozens of them growing out of the cliff which delighting him to the extreme. The secret realm really was filled with treasures.
Even if he didn't need this kind of medicinal ingredient, he could still sell it or exchange it with other medicinal herbs.
Ye Xiao quickly flew up that cliff.
After arriving in front of one of the Starlight Flowers, just as he extended his hand to touch it, he suddenly felt danger and jumped back quick as lightning.
A ray of light shot right past Ye Xiao's hand.
Ye Xiao hurriedly looked at the ray of light and saw that it was a little white rabbit. What was surprising was that this rabbit has two large teeth coming out of its mouth while its eyes were blood red.
Its body was also covered in many blue spots that looked similar to the Starlight Flower.
Hiding in the middle of hundreds of Starlight Flowers, it was almost impossible to see it.
Ye Xiao did not know what this rabbit was but he knew that it definitely was not an ordinary beast.
"Swish! Swish!"
Suddenly, the rabbit's eyes flashed and two rays of red light shot toward Ye Xiao.
"Shit!"
Ye Xiao hastily dodged the rabbit's attack.
"Ssss!"
Unable to touch Ye Xiao, the two beams of light collided with the ground but what shocked Ye Xiao the most was after the two beam of light collided with the ground, no explosion rang out.
What he saw was something even more shocking.
He saw that the place where the two beams of light collided started to corrode rapidly.
"Poison!"
Ye Xiao understood that those two rays of light were actually poisonous.
This world was filled with inconceivable existences. This tiny rabbit was actually incredibly venomous.
Ye Xiao's expression changed greatly. Because of his carelessness just now, he had almost died.
That couldn't be blamed on Ye Xiao. The Starlight Flower had already gone extinct in the outside world. The fact that he saw so many Starlight Flowers here made Ye Xiao feel excited and because of his excitement, he let his guard down.
But now, Ye Xiao once again raised his guard as he looked at the poisonous rabbit.
Within the secret realm, anything could happen. A small carelessness could lead to death.
Ye Xiao did not want to waste his time here. He carefully sensed and saw that this rabbit was only a fourth grade magical beast.
Even though it was poisonous, Ye Xiao did not fear it.
"Heavenly Lightning"
With a flick of his finger, a strand of lightning instantly shot toward the rabbit. Its speed was so fast that the rabbit could not dodge on time and was immediately pierced by the strand of lightning, directly dying because of the extremely destructive force.
It was the first time when Ye Xiao used the Heavenly Lightning after refining it. Its effect made him nod his head in satisfaction.
After killing the rabbit, Ye Xiao used a stick to lightly prod the Starlight Flower several times while also using his Divine Sense to sense any changes. After confirming there were no more rabbits present, he carefully excavated the Starlight Flowers, leaving a bit of earth on its roots.
In a very short amount of time, Ye Xiao carefully harvested more than fifty stalks of the Starlight Flower.
During this process, he also sensed some other rabbits attacking him. He also took care of them in his way of excavating the Starlight Flower.
Those rabbits had not all been just hiding within the Starlight Flowers. Some of them had been hiding in the surrounding grass or cracks in the stones. They were extremely sly and clever.
And exactly this slyness and cleverness made Ye Xiao's guard go up even higher. He no longer dared be the slightest bit careless. However, high risk came with high reward.
He had only just entered the secret realm and was currently just in its outer areas, and had already gathered more than fifty Starlight Flowers.
Such treasures had already appeared. Once he went deeper, there would definitely be some other good opportunities waiting for him.
After the thing here was done, Ye Xiao started to move again.
Two days later, he suddenly heard a whistling of the wind. A rapid buzzing sound could be heard from his back all of a sudden.
Ye Xiao immediately turned around and was stunned after a glimpse.
In his sights was an insect as big as a skull, covered in a thick layer of white armor, staring at him with a pair of reddened eyes which was approaching Ye Xiao at a fast speed while flapping its eight pairs of silver-coloured wings while revealing its sharp fangs with a murderous aura.
Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect?"
Ye Xiao was startled when he saw this insect. He immediately recognised this insect as he had seen it in the memories of the Formation God.
It is said that the Eight Wings White Armoured Insect's skull can be used to lay down a great formation.
This Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect before him was quite a well-known beast.
It has a body thoroughly covered in a layer of white armour because of which, it is very difficult to harm it physically.
Although the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect only possessed a strength of a Fifth Grade Magical Beast, its defense and speed were relatively outstanding
What was more, because of its eight wings, it could fly so fast that a martial artist below Martial Emperor Realm can only see a blur.
Not only that, if a nest of these Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects were to attack, it would result in huge damage. Even a Peak Martial Emperor Realm expert would flee for his life facing them.
That being said, Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects had their own weakness.
It is extremely vulnerable to fire. If one were to attack with flames, even a Martial King Realm cultivator could slay it with ease.
"What a surprise to find an Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect here. If that's the case, I'm more than happy to accept your sacrifice. This way, I can collect your skull to lay down a great formation."
Ye Xiao uttered a loud laugh, as he prepared himself to slay the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect.
At that instant, another surprising event took place.
A loud buzzing noise could be heard from a distance away, which caused the ground to tremble and the trees to collapse.
"What is happening?"
Ye Xiao frowned as he observed the scene.
With a glimpse, his expression stiffened. It was not only a single Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect, but there was a whole group of them making their way toward him!
Ye Xiao immediately spread his Divine Sense and when he tried to see how many Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects were there, he was shocked to see that there were more than a hundred Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects flying toward him at an extreme speed.
More than a hundred Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, with their fangs revealed and their eyes reddened, together with the deafening sound produced from the flapping of their wings which resembled a huge downpour of ice which sparkled under the sunlight.
The sight along with the terrifying momentum of the insects could easily cause one's scalp to go numb.
Even Ye Xiao with his current cultivation felt his hair bristling after seeing this.
"Damn it!"
Ye Xiao let out a curse as he collected his thoughts and instantly executed the Spirit Devour Escape to escape from this place as fast as possible.
If there were only a few dozen of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, Ye Xiao could still with them as he has a weapon which was their main weakness, Beast Fire!
But now, how would he not leave? Facing a total of more than a hundred of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, even Peak Martial Emperor Realm expert would be intimidated and flee for his life. He was just a Third Stage Martial King Realm martial artist.
If he did not flee, he would definitely die under the fangs of these Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
It was extremely unwise for Ye Xiao to try opposing a nest of them.
The eyes of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects instantly emitted a red light upon seeing Ye Xiao trying to escape. Seeing this, their murderous aura was increased to the max.
The eight pairs of wings behind their backs began to flap at a higher frequency, causing their speed to be three times faster.
At that instant, it was as if those more than a hundred Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects had transformed into a huge white-coloured tornado, they swept toward Ye Xiao at an incredible speed.
"Such a tremendous speed!"
Ye Xiao was shocked. It has to know that he was using the Spirit Devour Escape ability that he gained after merging with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, but still, these Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects were able to shorten their distance with Ye Xiao.
It was even more terrifying knowing that these Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects were actually faster than him in terms of speed.
"Since this battle is unavoidable, I'll let you guys have a taste of my Sea Dragon Spear!"
At this moment, Ye Xiao was incredibly decisive.
When he saw he could not escape, then instead of retreating, he launched himself into the air toward the beasts with a kick onto the ground.
With a wave of his hand, a shiny blue spear appeared in his hand.
Holding the Sea Dragon Spear in his hand, he immediately executed the skill of the Sea Dragon Spear.
"Sea Dragon Descends: First Style, Hands of Waves!"
Immediately, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire area as Ye Xiao executed the first style of the Sea Dragon Descends.
The entire area suddenly changed and transformed into a vast sea. As far as one could see, they could only see water.
And on top of the water, Ye Xiao was flying while opposite to him, more than a hundred of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects were flying toward him with their red eyes flashing with red lights.
"Roar!"
Suddenly a dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire sea as one after another, countless dragon's claws emerged out of the water and charged toward the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
A series of metallic clashes could be heard at this moment with the strange noises and screams of more than a hundred of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
What Ye Xiao has executed right now was the First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends which was equivalent to a Low-Grade Immortal Rank martial arts technique.
Although this attack should have exterminated the entire group of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, Ye Xiao's own strength was still very low.
And because of his low strength, he was unable to successfully show the full potential of the First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends.
After the collision between Ye Xiao's Sea Dragon Descends and more than a hundred of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, the sea disappeared in thin air and that place returned to normal.
What Ye Xiao saw in front of him was more than half of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects looking at him fiercely.
As for the other half of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, some were dead while some were heavily injured which caused them unable to fly or fight with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao once again moved towards the group of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
Since the battle between him and the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects had already begun, his only focus was to thoroughly eliminate them now. No matter how many times he has to attack them, he will attack...
"Psk! Psk! Psk! Psk!"
Before Ye Xiao could execute his attack again, the other over fifty, Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects uttered a strange buzzing sound.
Following this, the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects revealed their fangs and rapidly bit in Ye Xiao's direction while surrounding him from all directions, leaving no gaps.
If one were to spectate from the side, they would see Ye Xiao's entire figure be encapsulated by a layer of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, as if he was being devoured by them.
A hint of coldness rose from Ye Xiao's heart.
"Wings of Divine Dragon!"
"Spirit Devour Escape!"
At this time of life and death, he immediately used the Wings of the Divine Dragon and while flapping his wings, he executed the Spirit Devour Escape.
In a flash, he broke the encirclement of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects and distanced himself from them.
He was once again ready to attack the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
He swung the Sea Dragon Spear with his hand in the air and took the stance to execute the First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends once again.
Exactly at this time, all remaining Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects also flew toward him while making strange noises.
"Sea Dragon Descends: First Style, Hands of Waves!"
In the nick of time, before the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects landed their fangs onto Ye Xiao's body, Ye Xiao executed his most powerful skill and attacked the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
"Roar!"
The entire area once again turned into the sea and with a dragon's roar, many dragon's claws emerged out of the water and pounced toward the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
At the same time, he also used the Spirit Devour Escape to increase his speed.
With a flash, Ye Xiao instantly appeared in front of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
However, even with his rapid speed, the speed of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects was even faster.
But exactly because of this, both, Ye Xiao's attack and the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, collided with each other, and a loud explosion's sound echoed throughout that area.
"BOOM! BOOM!"
"Bang!"
Ye Xiao's body was sent flying from the impact, and landed on the ground nearby, resulting in a big hole in the ground.
"Cough! Cough!"
Ye Xiao felt a great pain in his back. After the collisions with the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, his back felt like it was being ripped apart, causing serious damage to his body, as he coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood.
On the other hand, the group of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects also suffered serious damage.
Their numbers also decreased by a large amount.
Now there were only slightly more than twenty, Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects left who were making strange noises toward Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao felt as if they were trying to threaten him.
They looked as if they were trying to say that Ye Xiao has killed many of their companions so they will also kill Ye Xiao to take revenge for their dead and injured companions.
Before Ye Xiao could rise from the ground, the swarm of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects had their emotions rise as if they were about to gain victory in this battle.
Seeing Ye Xiao's blood on the ground and his heavy injuries, they flapped their wings and transformed into a few clouds of insects rushing down at Ye Xiao, leaving him no time to rest.
"Screw you!"
Upon seeing this, a terrifying Battle Intent exploded from Ye Xiao's heart.
These mere insects actually dare to threaten him?
"Transform!"
BANG!
With a loud explosion, a huge golden light was emitted from Ye Xiao's back, as the shadow of a dragon appeared and floated in the air, looking down upon the swarm of Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
The actions of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects came to a halt, as their eyes were filled with a hint of terror.
Suddenly, the shadow disintegrated in the air and Ye Xiao's body started to transform into a dragon.
After executing the First Style of the Sea Dragon's Descends, all of Ye Xiao's spirit energy was already used up.
He was left with no choice but to transform into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon and fight with the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects.
From the moment he has merged with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, it was the first time he was going to truly transform into a dragon.
Not long after, Ye Xiao transformed into a Black Dragon whose every scale was engraved with some beautiful golden patterns.
He has transformed into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.
After transforming into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, he felt immense strength within his body.
He also felt a special kind of power that he never felt before.
When he tried to see what kind of power this was, he was shocked to see that he felt this power from the dragon-shaped energy which was roaming within his body.
It was exactly that energy that has merged with him along with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.
Previously, he tried many times to feel this energy but he failed, and now that he had transformed into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, he finally felt this energy, and finally, he knew why he was unable to feel this energy previously.
The most perfect answer for this question would be that he could only feel this energy after transforming into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.
He felt that this energy was a kind of very explosive energy but he also felt that he could not control this energy right now for some reason.
Whenever he tried to control this dragon-shaped energy, every time, this energy easily freed itself from his control.
Ye Xiao could do nothing about it, he could only see it freeing itself from his control every time.
Since he could not control the dragon-shaped energy right now, he did not try to control it again.
He looked at more than twenty, Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects with his golden eyes.
"I will let you all know the consequences of messing with me!"
Right now, Ye Xiao has already transformed into over a hundred meter long Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon and in front of his huge body, the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects were really looked like insects.
"Devour!"
Ye Xiao opened his large mouth wide open and said a single word, devour.
The moment he said 'devour', a black whirlpool appeared in front of his mouth and all the remaining Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects were devoured by him in an instant.
Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects turned into dust immediately.
Ye Xiao was disappointed slightly as even after devouring more than twenty, Eight Wings White-Armoured Insects, his cultivation did not increase much.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao turned his head and looked in a certain direction. He just felt a very familiar aura coming out from that direction.
Not long after, he arrived at an extremely secret location. He felt that the familiar aura was coming from behind the bushes in front of him.
He transformed back to his original appearance and removed the bushes with his hands.
What appeared in front of him was a small cave and the cave's entrance was also filled with bushes.
Ye Xiao stood up. In front of a cave so dark that he couldn't even see his own fingers, there was a foul smell coming from inside.
Just when Ye Xiao was hesitating whether he should take the risk to enter the cave or not, he saw two black dots flying over from the horizon.
Ye Xiao immediately hid half of his body under the cave seeing those two black dots that were flying toward him.
At this time, two figures stood in the sky and looked at the surroundings as if they were searching for something. Because of the dense bushes, they didn't find any trace of Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao recognized one of them at a glance. It was his enemy, Hao Yue, the young master of the Hao Family of Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire and the other one was a young man he did not know.
"Qiu Wanli, didn't you said that you have seen a giant dragon flying here? Why can not I see that dragon?"
At this time, Ye Xiao heard Hao Yue asking a question about a giant dragon to the young man beside him whose name was Qiu Wanli.
He immediately understood that maybe this Qiu Wanli had seen him from a distance in the dragon's form and thought that there was a dragon here. That's why he brought Hao Yue along with him here to search for that dragon.
How could they know that the dragon they were searching for was not a real dragon but Ye Xiao who previously transformed into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon?
"Young master Hao Yue, I swear I have seen a giant black and golden dragon with my own eyes here. After seeing that dragon, I hurriedly went to find you so that you can capture that dragon!"
Qiu Wanli hurriedly replied to Hao Yue when he heard Hao Yue's angry voice.
"Humph! You better not lie to me otherwise only one result will be waiting for you and that is death!"
After saying this, Hao Yue flew in another direction. Qiu Wanli's body trembled a little then he also hurriedly followed Hao Yue.
On the other hand, at this moment, Ye Xiao also quietly entered the cave.
He did not want to attract the attention of anyone at this time. It was too early to fight with anyone.
Ye Xiao held the Sea Dragon Spear in his right hand and the Beast fire in his left hand which acted as a source of light in this dark cave.
The cave entrance looked small, but after entering, the space inside was slightly large. The stones on the walls were uneven, forming many ravines.
From time to time, drops of water dripped along the walls and flowed into the natural zigzag ditch, flowing past Ye Xiao's feet.
As Ye Xiao went deeper, the stench and foul smell became more obvious.
Suddenly, a pair of green eyes appeared on the wall, looking coldly at Ye Xiao.
The Beast Fire in Ye Xiao's hand instantly bloomed, and the surroundings suddenly became bright. Then, Ye Xiao saw a scene that caused one's scalp to go numb.
Unknowingly, he was surrounded by tens of hundreds of one foot long ants. However, these ants looked a little strange.
They had a foot long body, the grayish-black skin, the green evil eyes, and the protruding fangs. There was also a pair of fleshy wings on their backs.
These wings looked very similar to dragon wings but Ye Xiao did not dare to be confirmed at this moment.
"Squeak!"
An ant could not hold it in any longer. After letting out a shrill cry, it jumped towards Ye Xiao. The wings on its back spread out instantly.
Ye Xiao directly swung the Sea Dragon Spear and stabbed at the coming ant.
With a miserable cry, the Sea Dragon Spear was pierced into the ant's body. Green blood mixed with internal organs flowed on the ground after he took out his spear from the ant's body. Its mouth was still open and closed, but it did not die immediately.
Ye Xiao once again stabbed his spear in its head and at this moment did this ant died.
At this time, Ye Xiao also saw through their strengths.
These ants were only Third Grade Magical Beasts but their numbers were astoundingly large.
Ye Xiao looked deep in the cave. He could still feel the familiar presence there but he could not tell what that presence was.
If he wants to go deeper, he has to first kill all of these tens of hundreds of one foot long strange ants.
