The Desert of Bones is about seven days' journey from Guangming Village. Of course, it means walking normally. If you have a mount, the distance will be much shorter.

This vast expanse of desert is one of the most dangerous areas known around Guangming Village.

The so-called white bones do not mean that there are bones everywhere in the desert, but that most of the people who have been there have their bones buried directly here. No, it should be said that they were chewed up by the psychic creatures inside until no bones are left.

Nowadays, no one who goes there dares to go too deep into the desert, otherwise they will basically die, either by encountering high-level psychic creatures, or by simply getting lost inside.

They are all wandering around the outskirts of the desert. But there is nothing good in the outskirts, so fewer and fewer people go there.

The Iron-jawed Gold-Eating Ant is a psychic creature found in the Bone Desert. It is named after its well-developed black-brown giant jaws, which like to eat various metal minerals.

Generally speaking, iron-jawed gold-eating ant colonies are very mobile, and they can be found wherever there are metal mines.

When the metal ore is eaten up, they will all move away to find the next place.

Most of the various resources in the virtual world are not consumable. Once they are mined, they will slowly start to be generated again in other places after a period of time.

Humans haven't figured out the reason yet, but it probably has something to do with psychic energy.

Sun Hao guessed that this time, a metal mine was regenerated on the outskirts of the desert, thus attracting a group of iron-jawed gold-eating ants, and he happened to encounter clues about it.

Han Xiao thought for a moment and made up his mind. With his current strength and life-saving ability, it should be said that he has been alone in defeat in the military level, and the risk is not high.

Seven days later, the two of them appeared at the edge of the Desert of Bones, covered in dust.

After a few moments, Sun Hao found the mark he left last time. From here, go about five kilometers deep into the desert. If you look carefully, you can probably find traces of the activity of iron-jawed gold-eating ants.

Before continuing to set off, Sun Hao signaled to Han Xiao the little white bear that was having fun at his feet. Do you want to put it away? He didn't know when he would encounter danger inside. It would be a pity if it died.

Not long after setting off, Sun Hao was startled by the little white bear that suddenly appeared next to Han Xiao.

When Han Xiao told him that he was his pet, Sun Hao was a little bit emotional. He didn't expect that Senior Bai would not be immune to the bad habits even after he became more powerful. He would do what many second-generation ancestors like and even keep small pets.

However, this little white bear was quite cute, and Sun Hao felt it was a pity to die.

Han Xiao waved his hand indifferently.

He had tried it in the small hut. First, he used silver-level and gold-level weapons to poke the ball a few times without breaking the defense at all.

Finally, he summoned the diamond-level jade sword, but he hesitated a little. What if it got damaged?

When Qiuqiu saw this, he shook his head and waved his two short front paws for a long time, as if to say:

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Just pierce it as you like. It's going to be strong! On the head, neck, chest, thighs, except between the legs, pierce wherever you like."

Han Xiao hesitated for a moment, then stabbed lightly, but there was still no trace.

He continued to increase the intensity, and finally used all the strength to suck milk. The psychic energy was transferred to the knife, but it was still ineffective. It only caused the ball to turn over.

Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised. At least he didn't have to worry too much about Qiuqiu's life when he took him out. His skin was thicker than his.

Therefore, tell Sun Hao not to worry, he will understand after a while.

Sun Hao pointed to the sand in front of him and said to Han Xiao:

"The iron-jawed gold-eating ants rely on their hard outer jaws and the highly corrosive saliva secreted from their mouths to devour metal minerals.

Therefore, wherever it passes, the sand surface will often be corroded by the acid dripping from its mouth.

Look here, it means that iron-jawed gold-eating ants were active nearby not long ago."

Not even three kilometers into the White Bone Desert, Sun Hao had already spotted some traces with his sharp eyes.

Both of them began to be cautious, carefully avoiding traces of corrosion, identifying them from a distance of dozens of meters, and moving forward.

After walking a few more kilometers, we came to the top of a sand dune.

Looking over, the two of them were shocked by the scene in front of them.

About a hundred meters ahead, there is an extremely huge hole in the ground. Countless iron-jawed gold-eating ants are crawling in and out of the hole. They are so densely packed that it gives people goosebumps.

If patients with trypophobia see it, they will faint on the spot.

This is probably too much. Neither of them expected that the scale would be so large and it would be difficult to start with.

Han Xiao summoned the long jade sword and said, "I'll try it first. You stay away. Be careful and don't let the ants find you. I won't be able to protect you then."

"Don't worry, I made a gadget in advance. It's made of the most annoying pheromone for ant-like creatures. It'll probably work if you throw it away.

However, it’s best to get an iron-jawed gold-eating ant and give it a try.”

Sun Hao also knew that his gadgets were unreliable most of the time, so he would feel more at ease if he had the opportunity to try them.

"Okay, you can hide first, eh??? You should be able to do it behind the sand dunes at the other end."

When Sun Hao ran away, Han Xiao sent a message to Qiuqiu and asked him if he wanted to go back to his head? Uh, why does it always feel so awkward?

Qiuqiu shook his head nonchalantly, and there was a burst of, eat, eat, eat!???

Okay, Han Xiao no longer hesitated, and with a thought, the ice protection was activated!

The body jumped out from behind the sand dune and rushed towards the ant colony.

Within a few seconds, a billowing yellow smoke on the sand rushed into the ant colony, and the entire ant colony boiled instantly like a drop of cold water falling into a hot oil pan.

Han Xiao cautiously stayed on the outside, looking around at the silver-level worker ants.

Countless ants the size of human heads were scrambling to crawl onto Han Xiao's body. A pair of iron jaws with a cold light were desperately biting Han Xiao's protective shield.

Han Xiao's diamond-level ice shield with perfect defensive power remained motionless without even the slightest vibration. The silver-level attack power was unable to break through the defense at all.

Since there were too many worker ants, Han Xiao didn't have to aim very hard. He killed many of them with a random swing of his jade sword.

He completely ignored the ant corpses that fell on the ground. It was of no use to him now.

Qiuqiu was not picky about food, so he started to eat the worker ants killed by Han Xiao while he was crying.

A group of worker ants immediately surrounded the ball and started biting it.

Qiuqiu didn't resist and didn't care. He bit him without leaving any trace. He just sat there and ate as hard as he could.

Seeing this, Han Xiao felt relieved and began to consider whether to go deeper.

At this time, there was a commotion among the ant colonies in the direction of the giant pit, and a large group of iron-jawed gold-eating soldier ants, as tall as half a man, rushed out of the giant pit.
