Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Sudden Attack
"What's that?" Chen Tianci asked Lu Mengqi puzzled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The sudden emergence of yellow sand on the island of info made him feel a creepy feeling in his heart.
Lu Mengqi casually clicked on a screen on the cabin and showed it to Chen Tianci. The screen shows the last video of the arrival of the yellow sand not long ago. The yellow sand swept over the sky quickly. Soon, the screen began to blur.
"Look at this." Lu Mengqi suddenly paused the picture, and with a flick of his finger, he enlarged the screen. Chen Tianci took a closer look and immediately gasped.
What is displayed on the screen is the true face of the yellow sand on the island, and the golden flying ants flying all over the sky. This flying ant has a pair of sharp front jaws and two pairs of strong forelimbs. The two pairs of thin wings on their backs give them extremely fast flight speed.
Because of the extremely fast speed, the pictures displayed in front of Chen Tianci's eyes were even blurry images with ghosting. But it also adds to their hideous image.
Everywhere they go, almost nothing is devoured. Everything that was swallowed by them soon turned into grains of yellow sand and rolled to the ground.
"This is the golden ant, whose scientific name is yellow cunning ant, is a special insect native to southwest China. But after alienation, it became like this. Lu Mengqi pointed to the golden ants on the screen and explained.
"It's horrible." Chen Tianci looked at the beach that had been swallowed up by the golden ants, and blurted out with palpitations. Lu Mengqi smiled faintly and continued: "This is not terrible. They are all just first-order low-level antbeasts, and if they are higher-order, I'm afraid we will be in trouble. If we encounter a fourth- or fifth-order person, we won't even have time to escape. ”
Chen Tianci stared at the golden ants on the display screen in a daze, and once again a feeling of being extremely weak rose in his heart. In the face of such a huge group, no matter how strong his defense is, it is not enough for them to gnaw.
Lu Mengqi looked around, and when she saw that no one was passing by, she pulled Chen Tianci and ordered, "You go back first, I'll send Yuxin back to the room, and I'll look for you later." ”
Chen Tianci answered and walked up without saying a word. At this time, his heart was still immersed in the scene just now. The Golden Ant is just a mutant insect, but a swarm can be so powerful.
The feeling of powerlessness and weakness made Chen Tianci eager to improve his strength. He still remembers the days on Palm Island, when he hid XC like a mouse. Now, even on such a seemingly safe island, there are such terrifying creatures.
Chen Tianci gradually felt that if he didn't improve his strength as soon as possible and exercise his ability as soon as possible, he would probably become the food of powerful alienated creatures in nature. He didn't want to end up like that.
Therefore, he carefully thought about his next cultivation direction as he walked. Recently, his practice has been stuck in a bottleneck period, and he has never been able to go further.
Since his last penance, his strength has improved a little, but he has not broken through, and he is still at the level of the first and fourth levels. After crossing the threshold of the first and third levels, the subsequent cultivation is not difficult, according to Wuji, the difficulty lies in the accumulation.
From the first order and the third level, Chen Tianci was forbidden by Wuji to use Yuan Shi to assist in cultivation. He was strictly required to continue to accumulate the pure vitality he had generated, and he must not take advantage of it. Because only in this way can he go to the path of the strongest warrior.
In order to become the strongest warrior, Chen Tianci gladly accepted Wuji's request. But unexpectedly, in this way, his progress dropped instantly, and he slowly advanced at a turtle speed that could not be expressed in words.
This is very difficult to accept for Chen Tianci, who is eager to pursue strength. But he had to go on. Because once he stops, his progress will stop instantly, and even regress. For the sake of the future, Chen Tianci gritted his teeth and persevered.
All kinds of chaotic thoughts, after he saw the power of the golden ant, kept flashing into his heart. Chen Tianci sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind as he walked, trying to control his emotions.
Just then, a team of guards staggered past him. Chen Tianci suddenly felt that there was something abnormal beside him, and he subconsciously flashed. With a "ding", a slender steel needle passed through him, pierced the wall of the hallway, and nailed to it.
Chen Tianci's face changed instantly. The force of that steel needle pierced through even the hard metal walls, let alone his body. He quickly assumed a fighting stance, staring on guard.
The guards who passed by him also noticed the anomaly, quickly set up a formation, and tightly controlled the scene. "What's going on?" The leader of the guards asked in a deep voice.
His men shook their heads, looking dazed. Chen Tianci quickly swept through the group of guards and found nothing unusual. He followed the direction the needle had come from, and looked up to take a closer look.
Judging by the trajectory, the steel needle was shot down from the ceiling at an angle. However, Chen Tianci did not find any firing devices on the ceiling. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Looks like someone is still trying to kill me." Chen Tianci thought silently in his heart. The figures of several people flashed in his mind, and he turned his head and asked the head of the guards, "What about Wang Dayou and Cheng Jianying?" Where are they? ”
The head of the guard turned a deaf ear to Chen Tianci's words and ignored Chen Tianci at all. Chen Tianci was slightly stunned, and he asked again. At this time, the leader of the guards looked at Chen Tianci ignorantly and asked, "I don't know." Who are you? Who is qualified to inquire about their whereabouts? This is on our ship, not in your own home. ”
Chen Tianci's brows furrowed slightly. Only then did he realize that he had made a very serious mistake. The attitude of the people on these ships is not very friendly to him. This kind of thing, if it was before, he would definitely not forget it, but his mind just now was too shocked, so he was negligent for a while.
But he had just traveled with Lu Mengqi not long ago, no matter what position Lu Mengqi was, these people should know more or less. In that case, a discerning person would know at a glance that Chen Tianci was Lu Mengqi's guest of honor, and was no longer a prisoner on this ship. But looking at their current posture, it seems that the hostility is getting worse.
"This incident is obviously aimed at me. My life was threatened. Therefore, I hope that you will enforce the law impartially and without favoritism. Chen Tianci said coldly. His mood had been completely ruined by this incident and the contemptuous and hostile leader of the guards.
The leader of the guards let out a long "um" from his nose, still ignoring Chen Tianci, but just commanding his subordinates to control the scene. He himself walked slowly to the steel needle, stretched out his hand to remove the needle, walked to the corner of the corridor, raised his hand and threw the steel needle into the utility passage.
