A me flew out when the young man waved his hand. The me fell in front of the man-eating ants with a whoosh. It was toote for those speedily crawling ants to dodge and they were burned to a crisp. A foul smell came out with the scorching odour – the air was filled with the smell in an instant.
Zhuo Junyue saw her take a few steps and then swept several meters away in a sh. He nced at her, brandished his sword at the man-eating ants behind him, and swept forward to the young man’s side.
In front of them, cries and screams rang loudly. As it turned out, in addition to the man-eating ants in the back, they were all surrounded by the man-eating ants from the left and right sides. Some of those who were slow to escape were swallowed up by the ants and turned into bones instantly. Some who were bitten by the ants shrieked miserably, covering their wounds while taking flight.
“Run quickly! Run!”
Seeing that everyone was in a panic, Sage Hun Yuan scolded. “Don’t run left and right! Run forward! Forward!” He was throwing mes to arge swarm of man-eating ants while protecting everyone to escape. However, the number of man-eating ants was sorge that burning all of them was simply out of the question. Fighting them was also impossible.
They all rushed forward. Behind them, where the man-eating ants passed, the trees were hollowed out and the weeds the ants crawled on were torn down in disarray. The swarming army of man-eating ants pursued from behind without letting go.
“There’s a stream ahead! Cross it quickly! Quick!” Second Master Chai shouted from the front. He led everyone to sweep across the several-meter-width stream using their vital energy.
After the crowd quickly escaped through the stream, the chasing ants finally left after sticking around the edge of the stream for a while. Seeing this, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and all sat down panting.
“That was close...Why are there man-eating ants in that ce?” A Chai nsman asked with a pale face. He shivered at the thought of the people who had turned into white bones in a sh.
With so many man-eating ants, even if they wanted to fight, they couldn’t. The ants were too numerous while the prey was only a few. Running away was the only option for those unlucky to meet them.
Second Master Chai gasped for a breath. He nced at his own n members and gave orders to the person at his side. “Check how many are dead and how many are wounded.”
“Yes.” The middle-aged man replied. He went to check the numbers of the Chai n’s children that were missing or bitten by the ants.
“Second Uncle, what will happen if you’re bitten by the man-eating ants?” A young man asked in a tremulous voice. He covered his arm with his hand and his face was still deathly pale from the shock.
Second Master Chai took a deep breath and looked at Sage Hun Yuan with a slight frown. “Immortal Lord, we have never encountered man-eating ants before. If I may ask, what will happen if we are bitten by man-eating ants?”
“Not good.” Sage Hun Yuan answered. His eyes roved the ce looking for Zhuo Junyue and Feng Jiu’s figure. He couldn’t help but frown when he still didn’t see those two.
Second Master Chai’s heart sank when he heard this answer. What on earth would happen when he said it wasn’t good. When they came here, they had already inquired about the man-eating ants. It was one of the five poisons in the Volcano Forest. However, they just didn’t know what would happen to the person bitten by them.
Fan Yixiu also held his arm. When he came forward, he asked gravely, “Senior Uncle, Disciple has also been bitten, but now there seems to be nothing wrong with the wound except the pain. Should this be alright?”
They knew too little about the things inside the forest. After encountering the danger, they felt that their master simply let them in and didn’t care whether they live or die.
