The monster in front of him roared in pain, and more white mist erupted from its hole-filled body, but it was useless for Cervantes.

Ever since the soldiers had noticed that prolonged activity in the white mist would cause their limbs to stiffen, he had known that the white mist contained neurotoxins, and when he saw the ants, he recognized what kind of monster was attacking the tree.

'Mist Ant Nest', a kind of monster that is accompanied by a dense fog every time it appears, and those fogs are created by it, and at the same time, it will carry an ant colony, a magical beast that lives in symbiosis with the ant colony.

It looked like a large mass of earthy yellow flesh, covered in holes for the colony to enter and exit and release mist, and its internal organs were hidden deep in an area known as the 'inner core', and if it breached that area, it would die.

But the problem is that this monster can produce a high concentration of neurotoxins in its body, but if it wants to spread out, it can only be mixed into a dense fog, and ordinary people can't 'break into' this monster's body all the way.

Even if they are able to resist neurotoxins, colonies that live in symbiosis with the Fog Nest will devour the invaders.

There are hardly too many weaknesses other than internal organs, and a part of the body will recover quickly after being destroyed.

These monsters are difficult for the average person to deal with, as they are more large than Cervantes, and although the internal organs are larger, they are almost negligible compared to their size.

Each area of the body has a nucleus, which is the basis for them to control that part of the body, and if a certain nerve nucleus is destroyed, they will not be able to control a corresponding body area.

It's a tricky monster for all races, except for giants and dragons.

Cervantes knew it because they were mostly only found in swampy areas, and as a black dragon who had lived in swampy areas for a long time, he had encountered and dealt with such monsters more than once.

The Mist Nest has no intelligence, they are simple beasts, and even less intelligent than some beasts.

If other beasts had encountered the dragon, whether it was a black dragon or a green dragon, they would have run away a long time ago, and only they would dare to come up directly and face it.

Except for the neurotoxins and ant colonies mixed in the white mist, the misty ant nest basically has no combat power, not to mention its huge size, its actual weight is among monsters of the same size, and it can even be said to be very light.

However, the nest of misty ants that appeared in front of Cervantes now seemed to be a little different......

A crack opened in front of the Mist Nest, and a vicious mouth snapped open, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

The black dragon was suspended in mid-air, looking coldly at the monster below.

This monster was different from what he remembered, the average 'Mist Ant Nest' didn't have a mouth!

Even if the chaotic magic in the Black Forest can alienate ordinary beasts, it is absolutely impossible to alienate demonic beasts with stable life forms.

From the very beginning, the Mist Ant Nest was a kind of magical beast, a magical beast with special abilities, and their blood contained a thin magical power, which is characteristic of all magical beasts.

If it weren't for the magic to support their bodies, they would have been crushed by their own weight by their size.

Since they are demonic beasts, it means that they have a stable bloodline and a stable life form, and it is impossible for them to be impregnated by chaotic magic and become alienated.

Besides, there is not a swamp around this area, only mountains and jungles as far as the eye can see, and where did this monster come from!

Cervantes suddenly found that he didn't have time to think about this-

Acid poured out of the 'acid glands' of the mist ant nest, and like a high-pressure water gun, it passed through the narrow throat like a high-pressure water gun, turning into a linear water knife and shooting at the black dragon in the air.

The black dragon flapped its wings, rising a few points, dodging the water knife, and watched the acid slice under him and shoot straight into the sky.

His heart sank, and he saw the acid disperse weakly in the air, turning into acid rain and falling to the ground, corroding the ant colony on the ground - in that instant.

The Mist Nest moved its four thick legs and adjusted the angle of the acid spray, forcing Cervantes to continue dodging.

He coldly observed the monster below in the air, and now he was sure that it wasn't a mutation.

For example, this 'acid spray' ability is obviously artificially modified, even the acid breath of the black dragon and the green dragon will be cone-shaped, and it is still a magical ability!

If this misty ant nest has a mouth and may be a natural variant, then this waterknife-like spit is obviously not.

Naturally, this kind of monster will not be born, even if there is a 'magic' existence in this world, even if it is a powerful legendary race such as dragons and giants, and even counting the astral beasts, their throats are definitely not hard, at most they are a little 'tough'.

But the monster in front of him was clearly not like that.

Its throat was too hard to withstand the high-pressure onslaught, allowing the acid to spew out instead of slitting its own throat.

Is it the Arcane Empire?

Did this monster escape from the ruins of some destroyed Arcane Empire? Like the six-armed giant before it?

The Black Forest was once one of the most prosperous areas of the Arcane Empire, and there were many ruins in it after the war, so it was not surprising that this happened.

But where did this monster come from? Periphery or the Atoso Mountains?

With these speculations in mind, the black dragon quickly took out the monster, because it was really not very powerful, and the reason why Cervantes avoided the acid was because he smelled a foul smell and felt disgusting.

By the time Knight Kyle had scavenged through the chaotic ant colony and reached the Black Dragon, their lord had reverted back to his human form, standing on the ground and staring up at the massive monster corpse lying in front of him.

"What a big ......," the soldiers also stood aside and looked up.

None of the ants were present with their lord, and when the Mist Nest died, the ants lost control.

When it dies, the colony loses its ability to reproduce, and it doesn't take long for the colony to die because it loses its access to nutritional supplements.

Mist nests are 'insects' that possess the ability to reproduce on their own, and this ability is etched in their veins the moment they are born.

They will undergo several incomplete metamorphosis in their lifetime, each time they grow in size, and it is said that the largest mist ant nest can be the size of a city, but Cervantes has never seen one.

Most of the ant colonies that live with them are bred by themselves, and only a small number of misty ant nests will live in symbiosis with other ant colonies.

But looking at the current situation, we know that the 'queen' of these ants is the fog ant nest itself.

"Let's go......" Cervantes sighed and turned away in a depressed mood.

This guy was too weak to ignite his enthusiasm at all and didn't make him happy.

After walking back to the Valley of the Golden Coins, they saw that the magic tree had taken root in the ground again, but there were too many wounds on the trunk and branches, and even a lot of leaves had fallen off.

"Huh?"

Through the cavity gnawed by the ant colony, Cervantes saw some metal, took a closer look, and suddenly smiled.

"Okay, you kid!"

The black dragon happily patted the trunk of the magic tree, "I said why is the signal tower missing, it turned out to be you!"

Listening to the laughter of the terrifying creature, the magic tree was a little dazed, did something happen?

After laughing for a while, looking at the bare trunk and branches of the magic tree, Cervantes' smile faded, and he patted the trunk of the magic tree again, hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Hey, are you interested in following me?"
