Silverwing Heavenly King Ant

== Description ==
They were an extremely ancient kind of Magical Beast. Their bodies were as hard as iron, and they possessed limitless power. Their wings had special runes that gave them the special ability to break through space. They were practically able to teleport. These Silverwing Heavenly King Ants were extremely terrifying, and they had been famous even in ancient times. Although they could be classified as eighth rank Magical Beasts, equivalent to the human race's Foundation Forging realm, there were just too many of them. There were thousands of them.
Their mandibles were strong enough to crush any ore. Legend was that the Silverwing Heavenly King Ants consumed a kind of mithril spiritual crystal as food. For there to be so many of them here, there had to be a vein of it present.
The monsters were a dark mass with only silver wings to offset their black bodies. All of the ants were dozens of meters long.
Their wings had special runes that gave them the special ability to break through space. They were practically able to teleport.
These Silverwing Heavenly King Ants were extremely terrifying, and they had been famous even in ancient times.
They are not afraid of poison.
=== Weakness to fire ===
The Silverwing Heavenly King Ants' powerful defenses were only weak to fire.
Their wings were extremely weak to fire, especially strong flames like the Heaven Incinerating Flame. As expected, once he revealed this flame, they all retreated, not daring to block his path.
More and more of them appeared, filling the sky and the ground. But none of them dared to try stopping him. They let out panicked cries.
Those sounds weren't coming from their mouths. They were making these sounds by rubbing their wings together. This was a warning to their enemies.

=== Business transaction ===
Originally, Long Chen had been worried that they would lie and say that they only had a few drops of mithril essence in their entire stock. That would make him cough up blood.
This kind of practice was common amongst the human race, and it was very irritating. But Long Chen felt that the Ant King wasn't such a person, so he didn't bother asking the exact amount.
A flame crystal appeared in front of him, one that was just as tall as he was. The Ant King and Ant Queen both jumped in shock, fearing that he was turning hostile.
They felt a terrifying pressure from this crystal. That was an instinctive terror from their souls.
"This thing, it has divine energy inside it," exclaimed the Queen Ant.
Long Chen nodded inside. Magical Beasts weren't good at tricking others. It seemed that he had been too careful.
In a normal business transaction between humans, even if the other side's wares were amazing treasures that you needed, you had to act like it was nothing and nitpick at it. That was to make it easier to bargain the price down.
For the Queen Ant to directly exclaim that it had divine energy, it was clear that they weren't used to this kind of scheming.
This crystal had come from an ancient formation in the Heaven Dragon Flame Region. It was because Long Chen had taken out all the crystals that the formation had lost its effect, and the Alldevil monster had been released. That was what had caused all the chaos in Pill Valley.
Now, all he did was take out one. Just one was very precious, and he still had many left. Exchanging it for what he needed right now was worth it.
This divine flame crystal contains boundless flame energy that possesses a divine attribute. Although you can't directly absorb the flame energy, the divine energy can be absorbed slowly, and by doing so, it will change your constitutions. The divine aspect of its energy possesses its own flame energy. Absorbing it won't let you reach the point that you can control flames, but it will definitely make up for your weakness toward fire. I should mention that this divine crystal is closely related to my flame, and my flame is the Heaven Incinerating Flame ranked third on the Earth Flame Ranking. By absorbing its energy, not only will your resistance toward flames rise, but the change in your constitutions will also be inherited by your future descendants.
The Ant Queen gives Long Chen all the mithril essence the colony had (18 large vats). Long Chen laughed inside. Doing business with Magical Beasts was truly easy.
=== History ===
Long Chen learned from the Queen Ant that they were originally Magical Beasts from the Dark Forest. They had been under the Dark Forest's rule.
However, the Dark Forest's Magical Beasts were violent, and the competition between them was a fierce slaughter. They had only accidentally fallen into this world because they had been hunted down.
As a result, they had flourished in this world and never returned to the Dark Forest. They told Long Chen that within the Dark Forest, all Magical Beasts had to listen to the leaders, or they would be killed.
This place was like a paradise outside their original home. The tree demons couldn't enter this region, and other Magical Beasts didn't possess the power to kill them.
They had been here for over thirteen hundred years. They were local hegemons and very familiar with this world.
Some of the Silverwing Heavenly King Ants were always out scouting. They also went out to see the situation in other minor worlds and if there were more resources there.
