AWB Chapter 340 White Ants
Chapter 340 White Ants
As the white light faded, the scene before my eyes transformed from a courtyard into an endless plain. The grass and trees swayed in the breeze, and the soft sunlight bathed the earth. Blue sky, white clouds, and grass—it was as beautiful as a painting.
"As expected of a divine land." Ye Qingshuang felt the rich spiritual energy and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "The spiritual energy is so rich!" After saying that, Ye Qingshuang released the restriction on her cultivation and absorbed the spiritual energy at will.
Lin Chengtian glanced at her, his brows furrowing.
The spiritual energy here is too dense; his cultivation level is too low to withstand it. If he were to actively absorb it...
Just as Lin Chengtian was feeling uncomfortable, the oppressive feeling disappeared, and at the same time, a voice rang in his mind: "Don't worry, I will absorb it."
"Okay," Lin Chengtian replied, relieved.
Just as Lin Chengtian was communicating with Ling Yi inside his body, Ling Yi seemed to notice and glanced at the two of them before looking away and looking at the white wine.
Lin Chengtian showed signs of discomfort, but Bai Jiu didn't show any signs of it. It's unclear whether it's because Bai Jiu is strong enough to withstand it or if Bai Qingjue used some method.
With someone else taking care of the liquor, Ling Yi didn't think too much about it and was about to head forward when he saw a white line appear on the distant green plain.
The white line, like ocean waves, stretched forward along the grass. Ling Yi squinted, stared at the white line carefully, then turned and ran: "Hurry up!"
Seeing Ling Yi's reaction, the others didn't ask any questions and just ran away. Ye Qingshuang even darted far ahead, taking the lead.
Ling Yi came in second, with Ji Yanzhi following beside him. The little golden tiger flew above their heads. Lin Chengtian and Bai Jiu were slower, and Bai Qingjue, worried about Bai Jiu, slowed down to cover their rear.
Just as the six people and one beast were running for their lives, some people appeared ahead. When they saw the six approaching, they became wary. Unexpectedly, the six passed right past them without stopping for a moment.
"what's the situation?"
"do not know."
"Holy crap!" The two had barely finished exchanging words when their companion yelled, "They're white ghost ants!"
"WTF?"
"White ants!" His companion ran a short distance, then turned back and saw them still standing there, yelling, "What are you all standing there for? Run!"
The others finally came to their senses and ran away.
Just kidding, only a true god wouldn't run away from termites!
After the Taiyuan Secret Realm opened, only those with the cultivation level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm could enter. Therefore, the group quickly surpassed Ling Yi and his six companions.
As those people ran over, they were still talking about the white spirit ants. Bai Jiu overheard them and asked Bai Qingjue beside him, "Second Brother Ji, are the white spirit ants really that scary?"
“Hmm.” Bai Qingjue said, “White Spirit Ants are Heavenly-level beasts. One of them can deal with a cultivator at the Heavenly Spirit Realm. If they are alone, several people can deal with them together, but they are social beasts. Once you see them, they will definitely come in swarms, making them difficult to deal with.”
After hearing what Bai Qingjue said, Bai Jiu's face paled a few degrees.
One of them can take on a cultivator at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, a group of them...
Bai Jiu dared not even think about it. Among the six of them, besides Qing Shuang, Brother Ji, and Brother Ji Er, whose cultivation was high, only Ling Yi was the highest. However, Ling Yi was still only at the Yellow Spirit Realm, far from the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Not to mention him and Cheng Tian, who hadn't even reached the Yellow Spirit Realm yet. If they were caught by that swarm of White Spirit Ants...
Bai Jiu looked at Bai Qingjue: "Second Brother Ji, I run slowly, can you help me run faster?"
Bai Qingjue nodded, grabbed the liquor, and darted away a great distance in a flash.
In this way, Lin Chengtian was the last one standing.
Ling Yi turned around and looked back, not at Lin Chengtian, but at the white spirit ants. When she looked before, the white spirit ants were far away from them, but in just a short while, they had already reached a place not far behind them.
The speed of a Celestial-level beast should not be underestimated, and moreover...
Looking at the white line, Ling Yi noticed that the white line, which was originally horizontal, started to move forward on both sides. With just one glance, Ling Yi realized their intention.
"They want to surround us." Ye Qingshuang realized this too. She flashed back, grabbed Lin Chengtian, and was about to run away. But at this moment, Bai Qingjue, who had run forward with Baijiu, retreated. Not only Baijiu and Bai Qingjue, but also people they had met not long ago and people they had never seen before.
The white ants sped up and formed a semicircle, forcing Bai Qingjue and the others to retreat. The reason they were forced to retreat was that there were also white ants in front of them. The two white ants on both sides moved closer together, and the two semicircles merged into a circle, trapping Ling Yi and the others inside.
"grass"
Looking at the dense swarms of white ants, someone cursed, "Why are they everywhere, front and back?"
"It's fallen into their nest," someone chimed in. "No wonder we haven't seen many animals on this vast plain; they've probably all been preyed upon."
"Stop talking about that, what do we do now?" As the white ants continued to tighten their encirclement, some people panicked: "One ant can take on one person, and there are so many, what do we do now?"
As the encirclement tightened, everyone had to move closer together. Just then, two people ran out. The others were shocked and exclaimed, "Come back! Are you out of your mind?"
“Wait, I know why they ran away.” A man sniffed carefully and said, “It’s the smell of white jade spider powder. They covered themselves in white jade spider powder.”
Everything in the universe has its counterpart. The nemesis of the white ant is the white jade spider. The white jade spider is more terrifying than the white ant, but it is not a social animal, so some people still dare to hunt it. If you apply white jade spider powder, the white ant will sense its nemesis and will not approach.
Sure enough, under everyone's watchful eyes, the two successfully escaped the encirclement of the white ants. However, they did not leave immediately after they got out, but stopped a short distance away to watch them.
"Disgusting goods." Someone cursed, "They want to see us get ripped off."
"We won't let them have their way." After the man and woman standing together finished speaking, they attacked at the same time. Two flames flew out at the same time, intertwined before reaching the white spirit ant, and formed a huge fire serpent. The fire serpent attacked the white spirit ant directly. The white spirit ant did not run away at all, but leaped up and began to devour the fire serpent.
In the blink of an eye, the fire snake was completely devoured.
Seeing this, the others all tried to help, but the white ants could eat both the fire snakes and their attacks, so they had no way to deal with them.
Just then, the white ants took flight and rushed towards the crowd.
"Fuck!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and then a barrier rose up, enveloping everyone in it. The white ants crashed into the barrier, making a series of thuds.
"It withstood the attack?" Seeing that the barrier had withstood the onslaught of the white spirit ants, everyone quickly looked at the person who had made the move and discovered that it was the man who recognized the white jade spider powder: "Brother, your cultivation is not bad. The barrier you built can actually withstand the attack of so many white spirit ants."
The man said irritably, "I'm a professional at both alchemy and barrier cultivation. Stop praising me. Hurry up and think of a way, otherwise, even if I'm a professional, I won't be able to stop them when they attack together."
"Brother, if you're an alchemist, can't you use poison?" someone said. "Since they like to eat it, how about we wrap the poison in our power and feed it to them?"
“We can give it a try,” the man said. “But I’m currently supporting the barrier and can’t free my hands. There must be other alchemists here; step forward and give it a try.”
Before anyone else could speak, the man continued, "We're trapped together now, and there are two others outside waiting to pick up the scraps. If we don't cooperate, we'll only die faster."
Upon hearing the man's words, several people stepped forward, each producing their own poison: "We're inside the barrier; if we want to get out, we..."
"Stop watching, send a few out to try it out," the man shouted.
"We're here as husband and wife." The man and woman who had initially stopped the white spirit ants stepped forward at the same time, took the medicine bottle from the alchemist, and voluntarily left the barrier.
Ling Yi waved to the little golden tiger, which flew down and landed on Ling Yi's shoulder. Ling Yi said to the others, "I'll go out and take a look."
Seeing Ling Yi leave, Ye Qingshuang also stepped forward: "I will assist you."
Ji Yanzhi and Lin Chengtian said, "Be careful."
"Okay." Ling Yi responded and, together with Ye Qingshuang, took the medicine bottle handed to them by the alchemist and went out.
As soon as the two stepped out of the barrier, white spirit ants flew over. Ye Qingshuang moved her hand, and a jade flute appeared in her hand. The next moment, the flute sounded, and a gale arose, blowing away all the white spirit ants that were close to the barrier.
Seeing this, the couple glanced at Ye Qing Shuang in surprise, then poured out the poison from the bottle, enveloped it with their power, and attacked the white ants.
Seeing the power approaching, the white ants swarmed forward, devouring it. As they ate the power, they also ingested the poison within. The white ants that had eaten the most stopped, but...
They are Celestial-level beasts; even if poisoned, they can use their own power to expel the poison, so they are not so easy to kill.
This method works, but after being fooled once, the white ants became wary. Soon, they stopped consuming those forces and instead used their own strength to block them.
Thus, the poison was rendered useless upon landing. The couple's faces turned extremely grim. Before they could retreat back into the barrier to devise a solution, they saw two men not far away take out longbows. The next moment, two spirit arrows flew towards the barrier with a whoosh.
Those inside the barrier paled at the sight. "Damn it! It's one thing to wait to pick up the scraps, but now you're actually making a move!"
"I can't take it anymore!" a burly man shouted. "I'm going out to fight those two bastards!"
"No!" Someone quickly grabbed the burly man: "We're surrounded by white ants. If you go out, you'll be eaten before you even get close to them."
Before the burly man could say anything more, the two arrows struck the barrier with two cracking sounds. The white ants, hearing the sound, seized the opportunity to crash into the crack.
The man supporting the barrier hurriedly added power to the crack, trying to repair it, but there were too many white spirit ants, and the crack grew larger and larger. Just when the man was about to give up, the flute sounded again, and the wind formed sharp blades that sliced the white spirit ants in half the instant they flew past.
The white ants were small, and so were the wind blades. Ye Qingshuang manipulated the wind blades to avoid the couple and Ling Yi, accurately killing the white ants.
Everyone inside the barrier was shocked by what they saw.
This girl is far too strong; she killed a Celestial-level beast so easily!
This girl is so strong, the girl who went out with her must be very strong too...
Thinking of Ling Yi, everyone turned their gaze, but didn't see her: "Where's the other girl?"
"Exactly, where are they?"
"Look!" Just as everyone was searching for the girl, someone shouted, pointing in the direction of the two people watching the scene: "That girl has broken out of the encirclement; she's with them!"
