Chapter 471: The Flame Sapling

As a powerful aura swept through the area once more after doubling back, it meticulously scoured every corner but yielded no results.

Only a few spots had experienced slight alterations in terrain due to the activities of small creatures, and these spots had drawn the focused attention of a fourth-tier Demonic Beast.

However, after the fourth-tier Demonic Beast completed its second inspection without discovering anything, it seemed to give up and gradually moved away.

Yet, Wang Hong remained motionless beneath the leaves. Several ants crawled up and down his body, seemingly searching for a more convenient place to bite.

They had attempted to bite into this pile of something that smelled tempting, like meat, but they couldn't find a way to do so.

They had taken a few big bites moments ago, nearly breaking their teeth in the process.

They weren't sure what kind of meat it was, but it smelled enticing, causing the ants to linger, unwilling to leave.

A day later, these ants finally found some weak points where they could start gnawing.

Indeed, it was a delicacy, tastier than any food they had ever consumed before. They dared to swear that it was the most delicious thing they had ever eaten.

Furthermore, taking a bite made them feel full of energy, as if they had become several days younger.

Two days later, more ants gathered around Wang Hong, and in some places, chunks of flesh had already been devoured by the ants.

Wang Hong remained completely still, as if he were truly dead, allowing the ants to gnaw on him.

And just at that moment, the powerful aura did not reappear, but the Divine Sense swept through this area once more, still failing to detect Wang Hong.

It turned out that this fourth-tier Demonic Beast had already obtained information from other Demonic Beasts before, covering the process from the appearance of the Fusang Divine Wood to its disappearance.

During this period, only a few Demonic Beasts had left the battlefield, and it had already located the rest. Now, only one had disappeared in this direction.

Now it speculated that the Fusang Divine Wood was most likely with this missing Demonic Beast.

After several fruitless searches, it concealed itself in the vicinity, suppressing its entire aura, hoping that this little demon would reveal itself.

When the Divine Sense swept over Wang Hong again, two Poisonous Bees, each larger than a thumb, suddenly appeared amidst the swarm of ants beneath the tree leaves.
