Communication with an uncontracted Soul Beast could only be done through actions and gestures.
"CHITTER~" The Ant Queen let out a few calls, looking at Yin Yi in Han Ning's arms and the three surrounding Silver Lotus Wood. It then chittered softly to the tall Soldier Ant standing guard nearby.
The Soldier Ant glanced at the group, then turned and crawled into a smaller cave beneath the rock wall behind it.
A moment later, the Soldier Ant emerged carrying a two-meter-diameter mushroom cap, its underside covered in white mycelium.
It placed the cap on the ground upside down, like a bowl, then raised its sharp mandibles and quickly gnawed at the mycelium a few times.
The mycelium tore open, revealing a clear liquid pooled inside.
Under the glow of the red stones, the liquid's surface rippled and sparkled.
Han Ning took a deep breath. A misty vapor carrying a fresh scent washed over him, and his weary body and mind instantly relaxed.
