After a while.

Lin Hao came to the training ground in the North District.

The exciting sound of martial arts training filled the area.

At a glance, I saw a large number of mad warriors, naked, undergoing formal military training.

Under the sun, their hard muscles were intertwined with sweat, exuding a shiny sheen.

Every time he swung the knife, the muscles of his arms protruded and bulged, as hard as stone!

"When fighting the enemy, you must wield your sword powerfully to be able to kill with one blow!"

"We must not allow the enemy any chance to breathe!!"

Dayu, who was in charge of the training, as the original leader of the mad tribe, now organized an army and was named the army commander by Lin Hao.

His voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the entire training area.

Although Dayu has never actually fought a battle in the past, being able to become the leader of a tribe means that he is naturally quite resourceful.

Since he became the commander of the Mad War Legion, he took the initiative to ask Lin Hao to find many military books and supplement his knowledge every day.

Nowadays, in terms of military strategy, it can be regarded as having some foundation.

"Keep practicing!"

"Take a rest in half an hour!"

At this time, Dayu noticed Lin Hao's arrival, and after giving instructions, he quickly walked up to Lin Hao.

"See Lord."

Dayu bowed respectfully and began to report on the recent military training status and his personal research strategies on tactics.

"Very good, just do what you want."

Lin Hao nodded, smiled, and praised without hesitation.

"good."

After receiving Lin Hao's approval, Dayu was immediately delighted and high-spirited.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, a sharp cry caught everyone's attention, and they immediately turned their heads to look.

Lin Hao also looked sideways and saw Kuang Tie striding over, holding a small iron cage in his hand.

There was an ant in the cage, about the size of a thumb, and its body was as red as blood.

The most peculiar thing is that its body is flashing with dark golden patterns, the patterns are like flames, and it vaguely exudes a burning energy.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary ant, but an ant beast belonging to the World of Warcraft type!

The sharp cry just now came from this ant beast.

"How's it going? Have you caught the ant king?"

Seeing Kuangtie approaching, Dayu glanced at the ant beast in the iron cage, frowned and asked.

"not yet."

Kuang Tie shook his head and said: "I just asked the brothers to capture one alive, and I am going to study their weaknesses."

Hearing this, Dayu's resolute face couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.

"Is this the fire pattern ant beast?"

Lin Hao's eyes flashed and he asked.

Two days ago, he heard Bai Lin report on the situation of the Lingyang Stone vein.

It is said that traces of fire-striped ants have been found in the mines recently, and they are trying to stop them from digging Lingyang Stone and frequently attack the miners.

Fortunately, the miners were all berserkers and strong, and no casualties were caused.

However, this makes mining more difficult.

From the information, Lin Hao learned that the Fire Pattern Ant is a third-level monster.

Although they are weak, they are more powerful than others.

Every time they are dispatched, thousands of them are dispatched, like an army of ant beasts.

Even level five monsters have to stay away when encountering such an army of ants.

Since the beast core in their bodies is of fire nature, they like to eat any object containing flame energy.

Lingyang Stone, in particular, is extremely popular among fire-marked ants.

After investigation, it was found that there were no fire-striped ants in the Tianyan Mountains before, and they obviously migrated here recently.

It is estimated that they also discovered that this place contained a large amount of Lingyang Stone, so they moved their nest here and intended to rob it.

At the beginning, the mad warriors launched an ant-killing operation, but the ant king seemed to have a high IQ. He was able to save the day every time, and even commanded a large number of fire-marked ants to counterattack.

The final result is undoubtedly that the production of Lingyang Stone in the past few days has slowed down several times.

If it continues, the entire Lingyang Stone mine may be devoured by these fire pattern ants without waiting for the Star Rain Empire to capture it!

"The ant king..."

While thinking, Lin Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the fire-patterned ant in the iron cage, and suddenly he had a plan in his mind.

Since the ant king cannot be caught.

So……

He personally cultivated one to replace the ant king and rule the ant colony!

Thinking of this, Lin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this plan was somewhat promising.

"Lord, may I ask if you have any better solution?"

Sensing Lin Hao's reaction, Kuang Tie asked with a helpless expression.

Obviously, in order to exterminate the ants and protect the Lingyang stone veins, he had no choice but to do anything.

"Give me this fire-striped ant, and I will find a solution then."

Lin Hao looked indifferent and didn't say anything clearly.

Hearing this, Dayu, Kuangtie and others looked slightly startled, but were immediately overjoyed.

With their current belief in Lin Hao, they have great confidence in whatever the latter says.

"Lord, we will wait for your order next."

At that moment, Kuang Tie quickly handed the iron cage to Lin Hao and said excitedly.

Looking at the fire-patterned ants in the cage, Lin Hao's mouth curved with a meaningful smile.

However, evolving pets is definitely not suitable here.

Just like that, under the expectant gazes of many berserker warriors, Lin Hao carried the iron cage and walked away without looking back.

After a while.

City Lord's Mansion, atrium and inner courtyard.

As soon as Lin Hao came back, he summoned tens of thousands of Lingyang Stones from Bai Lin and sent away all the guards in the courtyard.

Even Bai Lin, who is at the level of general manager, is not entitled to stay here.

For a moment, only Lin Hao, Xiao Bai, and the fire-marked ants in the iron cage were left in the huge courtyard.

Then, there was just a 'pop' sound.

The cage door opened, and the fire-patterned ant's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to escape, he was caught by Lin Hao.

The palm was covered with spiritual energy, and no matter how much the fire-patterned ant bit it, it could not injure it at all.

"Ding, the detection host captures a fire-striped ant. Do you want to keep it as a pet?"

Immediately, the system's electronic synthesized sound sounded as expected.

Lin Hao muttered: "Yes."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully accepting the pet and naming it."

"Ant King."

Lin Hao's heart moved slightly and he chose an animal name at random.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for naming the new pet 'Ant King' and turning on the evolution function mode."

When the system sound sounded, Lin Hao chose the 'one-click evolution' function without even thinking about it.

In an instant, a series of system prompts sounded continuously in Lin Hao's mind.

"Ding, the evolution is successful. Congratulations to the Ant King for upgrading to D level. The combat power has been fully improved."

"Ding, your pet ant emperor has strengthened his physique and acquired the armor of burning flames!"
