Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 165: Soul Summoning Formation
Facing Ye Mo's question, Bai You did a quick calculation in his mind and said, "Actually, the cost is not as high as you think. Although summoning a fourth-level monster spirit requires fourth-level spirit crystals, you can also use second-level spirit crystals to replenish energy during battle."

"About a hundred level 2 spirit crystals can be equivalent to a level 4 spirit crystal, so the cost is not that high."

A second-level spirit crystal costs more than 500 yuan, and a hundred yuan is more than 50,000 yuan. Compared with the price of a fourth-level spirit crystal, it is too cheap.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo's mood improved a lot, and he smiled and said, "That's great. If we prepare more spirit crystals in the future, wouldn't it be like we have a fourth-level fighter who is not afraid of death and can fight for a lifetime?"

Seeing his Master's excitement, Bai You sighed softly, looking at him with emerald eyes, and shook his head, saying, "Didn't I say it before? Even if there is enough energy to replenish, as a summoned creature, there is still a limit to how long it can exist. And this limit depends on the sacrificed object. The more complete the body of the sacrificed target, the longer it can last."

Ye Mo was not disappointed this time. It was already great to have higher combat power.

"That's great too. With this ability, you'll be our team's most powerful backup from now on."

After saying this with a smile, Ye Mo squatted down and touched Bai You's head.

"Since you've made a breakthrough, let's have a small party tonight to celebrate, but..."

At the end of his speech, Ye Mo thought of the information about the two third-level black-armored ants he had previously discovered through reconnaissance, and his tone paused slightly.

Among the black-armored ants previously revealed, the introduction of the two strongest black-armored ants revealed through exploration clearly stated that they devoured a large amount of spell-breaking silver, which caused changes and thus achieved a simple spell-breaking effect.

The black-armored ants are monsters that feed on devouring metal ores. It is common to see them obtaining the simplest characteristics by devouring metal ores, but the magic-breaking silver is one of the metals required for Bai Ling's natal flying sword.

According to the simplest reasoning, the nest of this group of black-armored ants is likely to have magic-breaking silver. So if he goes to destroy their nest, the experience of the Bai Ling Flying Sword's magic-breaking feature will be greatly improved. If it is enough, it may even be directly upgraded to level 6.

In fact, Ye Mo had been thinking about this idea when he first saw it, but considering his own strength, he was hesitant and had not been able to make a decision.

According to the flying speed and physical strength of the black-armored ants, their nests are definitely on the deserted islands in the east. Those islands are at the very edge of the safe zone, and the risks are much higher than those on the inner islands.

Although there are definitely no fifth-level monsters and demons, after all, the fifth-level energy fluctuations are too large and can be easily detected by the Demon City, but there is still a possibility of fourth-level monsters and demons. If he accidentally encounters one after going to those islands, the danger will be quite great.

But now it’s different. Bai You has a spirit-summoning formation. With a little preparation, he can summon a fourth-level combat force. Even if the summoned fourth-level combat force is not strong, it should be no problem to hold back opponents of the same level.

In this way, life safety is greatly improved, and the worst that may happen is that a large amount of spirit crystals will be consumed and a large amount of money will be lost.

This risk is still worth taking. Thinking of this, Ye Mo made up his mind and called Hanhan and Bai Ling over through the mental contract.

After one person and three pets discussed with each other, they made all preparations and decided to set off.

Above the sea, a huge Hanhan was floating in the air, Ye Mo was standing on its shoulder, and on his own shoulders were the two little ones, Bai Ling and Bai You.

"Xiaobai, how is it? Can you feel their location?"

Bai Ling, who has the secondary profession of hunter, has a hunting skill that allows him to track the target through various means. Now, Bai Ling relies on this tracking ability to find the nest of the black-armored ants.

"Meow." Just ahead is the island.

Bai Ling's golden pupils were extremely bright, and her eyes were fixed on an island in front of her, shouting.

"Well, let's go."

As Ye Mo finished speaking, Ye Mo and his group, who were covered by the fourth-level invisible formation, quickly flew to the island ahead.

The island they were heading to was located on the easternmost side of Xinren Island. It was a slightly larger island than Xinren Island. The entire island had a very low plant coverage rate. There were several hills, large areas of rocks and deserted sandy areas, making the entire island look a bit desolate.

After flying for a while, under Bai Ling's command, Ye Mo and the others arrived above a hill. "Meow!" It was at the bottom of this hill. I could sense that the black-armored ants had come out from here.

After finding the location, Bai Ling shouted excitedly and patted Ye Mo with her right paw.

"Hanhan, go down. Remember to be careful and don't make any noise."

After the words fell, Hanhan's eyes became solemn, he nodded lightly, and slowly descended from the sky.

After landing on the barren ground, following Bai Ling's tracking, Ye Mo and his party finally found a huge cave on the side of the hill.

The entrance of this cave is about ten meters high and twelve or thirteen meters wide. Many black-armored ants can be seen coming in and out, carrying some metal ores. These ores are of many types, but there is not a single piece of broken magic silver.

"Silly, you're too big. I'll put you into the contract space later and summon you out immediately when I need you to fight."

"Youyou, you should also be prepared. If the opponent is strong, immediately do as I say and summon the monster."

"And Xiaobai, you'll release your natal flying sword later to carry us in. Remember to be careful and don't run into those black-armored ants."

After he finished speaking, Hanhan nodded seriously. Bai You felt the heart of the newly formed spirit formation and nodded solemnly. Finally, Bai Ling directly released the flying sword, and the clone feature was activated, instantly splitting into multiple flying swords floating in the air.

After using the skill, Bai Ling looked at Ye Mo as if asking for credit.

"Very good, let's go in according to the plan." Rubbing Bai Ling's head, Ye Mo looked at everyone and said seriously.

The star map appeared, and Hanhan turned into a stream of light and was taken back to the contract space. Ye Mo under him stepped on the Flying Sword of Life. Under Bai Ling's air, the man and his two pets quietly flew into the cave.

Along the way, as we went deeper inside, the cave passages became larger and larger, and we saw more and more black-armored ants. We could also see new holes on the walls of these caves, and we could tell at a glance that they were dug by the black-armored ants.

Fortunately, these black-armored ants don’t like to fly, and most of them walk on the ground. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get in so smoothly.

Looking at the large number of black-armored ants, Ye Mo thought secretly in his heart.

Bai You's fourth-order invisible formation is indeed very powerful, but it is still within the range of illusion and concealment, and cannot really make the people in the formation disappear on the spot.

After a while, as the cave passage became wider and wider and passed through several bends, Ye Mo and his party finally arrived at the end of the cave. Standing at the entrance, they saw that it was a huge cave, like an upside-down bowl, with densely packed insect eggs, one after another, showing their strong vitality.

At the very center, a giant ant over 20 meters long was lying on the ground, swallowing various metal ores in its mouth.

Ye Mo was shocked and looked at the huge tail of the ant. This should be the queen ant, right?

The other party's breath was very weak, and if you didn't sense it carefully, you wouldn't be able to detect it at all. Before, when he was in the passage, he couldn't sense the other party's existence at all.

He pursed his lips slightly. Through investigation, he could not find any information about the other party. This meant that the other party was either a monster that was very good at hiding its breath, or a fourth-level monster, and a more powerful one among the fourth-level monsters, otherwise he would not be unable to detect anything at all.

Looking towards the queen ant, in the huge cave, a large amount of metal ores were arranged into small hills according to their types, and the spiritual light they emitted was a little too eye-catching.

Spell-breaking silver! Black spirit iron! Blade iron!
The most abundant of them was the Silver of Destruction, and the least was the Iron Ore of Blade. Looking at the large amount of metal ore in front of him, Ye Mo became jealous. These were all money!

It would be too painful to leave like this. After thinking about it, Ye Mo took a deep breath and looked at the queen ant solemnly.
