Chapter 3106: Chapter 3081: Flame Ants

"I am Gou Chen." The young man smiled lightly at Lin Bai.

Clad in black, with a human-faced bronze mask, Lin Bai’s cold eyes looked icily at the young man, Gou Chen.

The longsword in his hand already hinted at being drawn.

"Are you a sword cultivator?" Gou Chen smiled lightly at Lin Bai.

Since Lin Bai asked who this young man was, he had remained silent.

Not for any other reason, but because the name "Gou Chen," had been emphasized by Elder Li just yesterday when Lin Bai and others entered the Poison God Clan to serve as a guest official. They were warned repeatedly never to provoke the Five Princes within the Poison God Clan.

It wasn’t just because the Five Princes’ cultivation was unfathomable, but because behind each of the princes stood an almost pinnacle strong one within the Poison God Clan.

For instance, Gou Chen’s master, who was the Third Elder in today’s Poison God Clan, and whose status was evident.

Gou Chen smiled lightly and said, "You must be a new guest official here."

Hearing this question, Lin Bai laughed, "What makes you say that?"

Gou Chen chuckled, "You have the aura of a Green Pill on you, only disciples and guest officials of the Poison God Clan receive Green Pills for free."

"Moreover, the Poison God Clan does not sell Green Pills to outsiders."

"Recently, not many new disciples have arrived at the Poison God Clan. Besides, if you were a veteran disciple, you wouldn’t have been wandering around in the Poison Cave for half a day and still end up on the Eighth Layer looking for a Teleportation Array."

"So there’s only one explanation, you’re a guest official, and a recent one at that."

Hearing Gou Chen’s words, Lin Bai sensed hostility. If Gou Chen went to investigate the Guest Quarters, he would easily trace things back to Lin Bai.

This made Lin Bai develop a murderous intent towards Gou Chen.

Gou Chen shook his head and said, "But it doesn’t matter. I don’t intend to investigate. As my master said, the Poison God Clan is in a tumultuous time; the entire Southern Continent’s eyes are on the negotiations between the Poison God Clan and the Seventeenth Prince!"

"So, I don’t want to investigate."

"But you’ve trespassed into the Poison Cave today, and within the Poison God Clan, that’s a capital crime!" ℯℯ𝑙.

"So, I will keep you here forever!"

"Don’t you like coming to the Poison Cave? Once you’re in the mouth of the poisons here, you can stay forever."

Gou Chen sneered, and a cold smile flashed across his youthful face.

Lin Bai’s body suddenly felt a chill, his hair standing on end. At that moment, Lin Bai sensed a strong murderous intent coming his way.

But as Lin Bai looked at Gou Chen, apart from his smile, Gou Chen didn’t seem to make any offensive movement.

Just as Lin Bai felt puzzled, suddenly he looked down at the ground.

Suddenly, beneath the bluestone slabs of this ancient city, a violent tremor started as if someone lifted the slab under Lin Bai’s foot.

"Not good!" Lin Bai exclaimed inwardly, immediately taking to the skies. At the same time, his longsword was unsheathed, striking downwards and splitting the street below in two.

The street shattered, turning into a pile of ruins.

From amid those ruins, crawled out countless flame-red ants, the smaller ones only the size of a fingertip, but the larger ones were as big as a fist.

A glance showed that from beneath the ruins, countless ants crawled out densely, making Lin Bai’s scalp tingle.

"Oh dear, I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you, I needed some time to attract your attention to hide these Flame Ants first."

"Otherwise, why did you think I wasted so much talk with you?"

Gou Chen chuckled coldly, and with a wave of his long sleeve, thousands of ants swarmed towards Lin Bai.

These flame-red ants, their flesh as hot as flames, would ignite anything they touched immediately.

Lin Bai, being careless earlier, had an ant land on his robe, and in a flash, half of Lin Bai’s robe was burned away. Fortunately, Lin Bai noticed in time, cutting off the robe to stop the spread of fire.

"They can actually fly?" Lin Bai looked intently, and saw these Flame Ants had wings growing from their backs, and they were flying straight towards him.

Inside Lin Bai, the Three-Colored Divine Thunder flashed, spreading a terrifying thunderbolt.

All the approaching Flame Ants crashed into the thunderbolt, immediately turning to dust and ash.

"Let’s see how many you can kill. These Flame Ants, in my Beast-controlling Bag, are either tens of billions or at least a billion."

"Let you kill them."

Gou Chen smiled lightly, showing no signs of distress over the Flame Ants Lin Bai had killed. Instead, a cold smile played across his lips.

When Lin Bai continued to use his Three-Colored Divine Thunder to kill the swarming Flame Ants, suddenly Lin Bai furrowed his brow, murmuring inside, "Hmm? Why do I feel something’s wrong?"

"From the way Gou Chen distracted me to buy time for the Flame Ants, he’s clearly no fool."

"Knowing full well these Flame Ants can’t take my life, why would he make such a meaningless sacrifice?"

"Can it really be just because he has too many Flame Ants in his Beast-controlling Bag?"

An unanswered question arose in Lin Bai’s mind.

And at that moment, Lin Bai turned back and his eyes narrowed perceptibly, exclaiming in horror, "So he just wanted to trap me!"

Lin Bai looked up, seeing that the countless Flame Ants on all sides had blocked all his escape routes.

A glance showed that the sky, the ground, front, back, left and right, even the earth, were all filled with Flame Ants.

Trapping Lin Bai with no way up to the heavens or into the earth.

"Not good! This is a battle of trapped beasts!" Lin Bai cried out, his longsword flashing as the power of the Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact erupted forth.

In an instant, a dazzling sword aura swept through the sky, forcibly cutting a path through the encircling Flame Ants.

The sword light swept past, and countless Flame Ants perished under Lin Bai’s sword light.

In this breath, Lin Bai immediately charged forward, trying to break out of this field of Flame Ants.

"Oh dear, you’ve found out, but it doesn’t really matter. Today, you’re dead for sure!"

Seeing Lin Bai trying to break out, Gou Chen immediately guessed that Lin Bai had realized his intent.

And then, Gou Chen sneered coldly, slightly raising his finger. In the direction Lin Bai was breaking through, suddenly from the distant sky, flew a large fiery-red bird, which angrily cried out and then opened its mouth towards Lin Bai, spewing out a mouthful of scorching fierce flames.

The fierce flames rushed at his face, and Lin Bai immediately felt a scorching heat.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai hurriedly activated his Three-Colored Divine Thunder Body Protection.

The fiery breath struck Lin Bai, instantly smashing Lin Bai into the ancient city.

The flames spread outwards, and in a flash, half the ancient city was destroyed by this single breath of fire.

"Forcing me to use my life-bound poison, even in death, that should be a point of pride for you." Gou Chen smiled coldly, stepping into the sea of flames, looking at the battered Lin Bai with a face full of pride!
