Chapter 1993

Luo Qianqian’s face twisted awkwardly as she turned to Mo, gritting her teeth, “Something’s wrong. I feel my spiritual power and soul power are both depleting. I’m losing control.”

Long Tu, hearing this, also attempted to control the floating earth ball, as he had a slight advantage over the others because of his attributes.

It only took a moment before Long Tu’s expression darkened as well, his face turning pale…

Mo was a bit surprised, but just as he was about to take action, a shockwave of soul power burst forth, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. He clutched his chest in disbelief as he looked at the object in Luo Qianqian’s hand, his face full of astonishment.

Luo Qianqian couldn’t ask about Mo’s condition anymore; she wasn’t much better off herself!

Her entire body was in a tearing-like pain, as if being pulled apart into pieces and then sewn back together, too uncomfortable even to make a facial expression.

“Resist the will, this is not the Ant Queen, this is the Ant Emperor,” Mo couldn’t calm down at all.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the God-eating Ant Emperor here. One must know that while an outstanding Ant Queen might appear once a century, given the difficult growth of God-eating ants, their weakest can’t even hurt anyone, easily dying in droves to anything.

The Ant Queen evolves from among several God-eating ant colonies through cannibalism.

The God-eating Ant Emperor, however, evolves by consuming the Ant Queen, making it exceedingly rare! Importantly, the species’ evolution from a newborn ant to a typical ant to an elite ant, and then to an Ant Queen, and finally to an Ant Emperor, is like a low-level soldier evolving into a mid-level soldier, then to an upgraded super soldier, then to a mini-boss, and finally into a monstrous mega-boss — it’s a world of difference!

An individual God-eating ant isn’t frightening; even Di Jun could easily kill it. But an entire nest of God-eating ants isn’t so easily dealt with!

Even the elite soldiers, like those chasing them earlier, would have been dispatched effortlessly were it not for the restrictive environment that forced their hasty retreat.

After all, encountering a larger group, balancing levels like in a game where a level ten you faces level five pawns effortlessly, three, fifty, or even eight at once is commonplace, but what if you faced hundreds or thousands?

One anthill wouldn’t only contain these, but far more!

Imagining that is enough to send a chill down one’s spine!

Luo Qianqian and Long Tu were both ghostly pale, clearly unable to hold on much longer.

Mo was enveloped in helplessness, completely clueless about what to do.

The very person he wanted to save was right there in front of him, yet he was powerless to help, forced only to watch her in pain. What good was he!

Di Jun applied the Healing Technique, which astonishingly bounced off, failing to reach Luo Qianqian and Long Tu, leaving all three stunned.

“Insecticide! Mo, do you have any insecticide there?” Huangfu Yihui suddenly brightened, looking at Mo seriously, “After all, it’s still an insect!”

Mo froze for a moment, then searched through his supplies, finding not only insecticide but also mosquito coils and cooling balm. But… would those work?

Seeing the two pale faces, Mo couldn’t worry too much, vigorously shaking the bottle and spraying it towards their hands, heedless of them standing underneath.

After all, it’s water, isn’t it? Just medicated water.

Luo Qianqian promptly shut her eyes, and a mask covered her face the next moment, Mo saying, “Hang in there; it’ll be over soon!”

Long Tu’s face was also covered with a handkerchief, shielding him from much of the insecticide.

Since insecticide didn’t exist in this world, it took the Ant Emperor by surprise, slowing its control over the two.

Long Tu took a deep breath, “Light a fire in front of the insecticide!”

With Di Jun there, neither Luo Qianqian nor he would get hurt; exterminating this creature was the priority.

Ordinary water might do nothing at all, but this medicated water contained alcohol, allowing the fire to envelop the earth ball successfully.

Luo Qianqian twitched her mouth; it was not comfortable!

Was she about to turn into a pig’s trotter?!

But surprisingly, the Ant Emperor relinquished its control. They suddenly found their hands were freed.

Di Jun tossed a branch to Long Tu, shouting, “Skewer it and roast it!”

Long Tu was momentarily stunned before accepting the branch, swiftly sticking it into the earth ball. Without their hands, Mo grimly discarded the insecticide, switching to fire…

Mere moments later, an alluring aroma of cooked meat wafted through, and instinctively Di Jun swallowed.

Yet as everyone turned to him, he quickly looked away. Joking, the thing was so terrifying, he wouldn’t dare eat it…

Still… it smelled so good…

Though the God-eating Ant Emperor boasted incredible talents, its offensive means were limited, especially when trapped within the earth ball, unable to regain control without their hands inside.

Alone, it couldn’t fend them off, roasting alive within the earth ball.

With the Ant Emperor dead, the God-eating ants became headless, quickly retreating without confrontation.

After Di Jun applied one Healing Technique after another on them, Luo Qianqian and Long Tu’s injuries nearly healed.

These were just minor wounds, as they still had to journey ahead. Draining Di Jun’s combat strength would spell trouble, so this gradual method, albeit slow, eased their pressure. Five traveling together is surely faster than four dragging one along.

Di Jun looked at their hands, frowning, “Why don’t we rest here? These healing techniques aren’t enough.”

“No worries, if something actually happens, restore us then.” Luo Qianqian forced a smile; she couldn’t exactly say she wanted to take a picture… right?

In the past, she’d cry over such an injury for comfort, but now, who would she cry to? Who would comfort her?

Crying only solicits annoyance and could invite trouble, so staying still is best…
