Chapter 39: The Ants Who Bite the River Tide
After listening to An Neng's words, Jiang Chao was a little ashamed. To be honest, in order to keep his secret, he did have the idea of killing everyone on the Bright Spirit Island, including An Nengnei.
Unexpectedly, An Neng already knew his secret, and he had been helping him hide it all along. And he had already put his life on the line, and he had never thought of exchanging this secret for his personal safety.
Of course, An Neng may have said this on purpose so that Jiang Chao could relax his vigilance against him. But when you think about it, it's not wise to do so. Wouldn't it be easier for Jiang Chao to be wary of him and think about when to get rid of him?
Therefore, in Jiang Chao's opinion, An Neng is really as he said, even if Jiang Chao wants to kill him, he will not make a fuss about Jiang Chao's secret.
Originally, Jiang Chao's rescue of An Neng was just to cover up the fact that his true qi could heal his wounds. But later, as they got to know each other better, Jiang Chao found that An Neng was a trustworthy person, and the idea of killing him had faded a lot. Now that he heard An Neng say this again, Jiang Chao completely dispelled the idea of killing An Neng together.
"Since Brother An, you can see it, then I won't hide it from you, I really don't have a dantian. But I still can't tell you how I used my True Qi, but when I broke through, I can tell you. Jiang Chao thought about it, and he didn't plan to tell the truth about directly using the aura in the chip.
However, the breakthrough matter is said to An Neng, and from the perspective of the bystander, there may be other opinions.
"Brother Jiang wants me to help you also staff officers?" How could An Neng not know Jiang Chao's intentions, and he didn't care about Jiang Chao's concealment at all.
Jiang Chao nodded, and immediately said: "Do you remember the night we slept in the depths of the jungle? When we woke up in the morning, the chip was inexplicably missing. ”
"Brother Jiang mean, you broke through at that time?" An Neng immediately guessed when he heard Jiang Chao mention the events of that night.
"Actually, I don't know when I broke through, but it must have been that night. And I suspect that the breakthrough had something to do with the lost chip. Jiang Chao couldn't give an accurate answer, so he could only say his own speculation, hoping that An Neng would have some other ideas.
An Neng thought silently for a while, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that this chip will upgrade itself to the point that it can affect the strength of the cultivator?"
Jiang Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and there was really one more person who wanted to be more useful than what he had pondered: "Why did Brother An say this?"
"Have you forgotten, that man once said that this chip is also intelligent. Although this chip is not a living thing, who knows if it can be upgraded? After all, it also has spiritual intelligence, and if it has spiritual intelligence, the possibility of being able to upgrade cannot be ruled out!" An Neng didn't know if his words would mislead Jiang Chao, but since Jiang Chao wanted to hear it, then he would say it.
"That's right!" Jiang Chao thought about it carefully, it was indeed this reason, but at the same time he was a little curious: "But how does it need to be upgraded?"
Jiang Chao is a family member who knows his own affairs, if the chip can be upgraded, then he is such a freak who uses it directly, it will indeed affect his strength realm. The most important thing now is to figure out how to upgrade the chip.
"Do you think it's possible that the lost chip was swallowed by the chip in your abdomen?" An Neng continued to say his thoughts, and this possibility could not be ruled out. There are many spiritual creatures, and they only grow themselves by devouring their own kind.
Jing An Neng said this, Jiang Chao also felt that it was possible. As soon as I thought that there was just one more chip now, I immediately asked An Neng for it and prepared to give it a try.
It's a pity that no matter how Jiang Chao tries, the chip in his abdomen didn't swallow the chip in his hand. For a while, the inference of the two was ruthlessly terminated by the results of this test.
And at this time, Jiang Chao suddenly screamed, stood up violently and shook his right arm, feeling as if he had been bitten by something.
When Jiang Chao stood up, he was shocked to find that the place where he was sitting was densely crawled with weird insects the size of soybeans.
Not only on the ground, but also on his body. Jiang Chao hurriedly dusted the insects on his body to the ground. At this time, on his bare arm under his short sleeves, a small stream of blood like silk threads was slowly flowing, and at the source of the blood flow, a small piece of flesh was obviously bitten off.
Jiang Chao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, you must know that he is now protecting his spiritual qi all the time, and his strength is far above his true qi. In this case, a small piece of meat was bitten off so easily, and the aggressiveness of this insect can be seen.
With the help of the faint light of the chip ball, Jiang Chao looked at the ground and found that the insect turned out to be an ant. Unlike ordinary ants, this ant is not only many times larger, but also golden in color. It's as if the surface of the ant's body has been plated with a layer of gold leaf.
It's just that Jiang Chao didn't have the heart to observe at all, because those ants began to crawl on him again.
However, what stunned Jiang Chao was that these ants seemed to have a clear goal, and they crawled towards him. An Neng around him was not affected at all, not even an ant crawling towards him.
Jiang Chao jumped and shook the ants that climbed up to the ground again. However, those ants did not give up at all, and still crawled on him one after another.
At this time, An Neng immediately let out an exclamation: "Brother Jiang, quickly withdraw your true qi." ”
Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood. When he regained his true anger, the ants really stopped crawling on him. Not only that, but the ants that had already climbed on him also began to crawl back to the ground.
"Not good!" Jiang Chao didn't wait to think about it carefully, and immediately urged An Neng: "Get out of here quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chao immediately began to run towards the periphery of the jungle, and An Neng also followed closely.
If Jiang Chao didn't cover his body with aura, then he would inevitably be attacked by strange beasts. It's deep in the jungle, full of deadly beasts that they can't deal with.
And if you cover the aura, you will be eaten by those weird ants. Therefore, he had to hide on the outskirts of the jungle for the time being.
Jiang Chao asked An Neng as he ran, "Brother An, do you know what kind of ant this is?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of it. An Neng shook his head, he had heard of red ants, and golden ants, he had seen them for the first time.
"It's strange, aren't there only alien beasts in the depths of the jungle?" Jiang Chao was a little inexplicable, they hadn't been in the depths of the jungle for a day or two, and there had never been any accidents.
