'Plop! ''Plop!'' ''Plop!'' ’

The red sand ants, which have no wings to fly and no other ability to stay in the air, want to get close to the blood mist floating on the cold pool, so they can only jump into the water one by one in an orderly manner and keep fluttering.

After the entire pond is covered with a layer of red sand ants, let the clan members step on their backs and spread another layer.

They plan to pile them up like this, and then wait until the Honorable Queen arrives and enjoy the speed of being trampled by the worm feet... Ah no, it's a sense of accomplishment to enjoy the Queen's strength and lead the race to greater glory.

The plan to snatch the large cloud of blood mist here is close to being completed.

On the other hand, in the spirit of 'no matter how big or small it is, it is a treasure', the red sand ants will not let go of the few wisps of blood mist that are as thin as a gossamer.

But...

But I ran into a lot of trouble...

"Sizzle!!"

Because of that bronze-colored figure, it resisted the invasion of many red sand ants with its own strength.

Every time you open your mouth, a golden needle will fall from the sky, nailing some unlucky red sand ants to the spot.

Sometimes the green shadow sprang into the colony of red sand ants, and after a quick swim, a few more corpses would be scattered into pieces on the ground.

Occasionally, a few nimble red sand ants bypassed the defensive circle, trying to trample on the humans on the ground to defend the blood mist, but they were directly swept away with a ferocious tail flick.

That power is next to death, touching death, even if it is not touched or not, just being hit by a swept clansman, and the body has to be deflated.

It's just that...

No matter how brave you are, you will be alone after all.

Over time, the Bronze Serpent's attacks are no longer as easy as they were at the beginning...

Although the 'golden needles' that are fired can still penetrate the hard carapace of the red sand ants, they can no longer nail them directly to the ground.

Although the close-quartered 'Twister Twist' was able to produce many pieces of corpse without any obstacles, the cut surface was no longer smooth, and occasionally there were a few strands of flesh hanging from it, and the cut was not completed.

Even if the most ferocious 'Golden Tail Gyration' still adds a few wisps of dead soul under the slightest touch, the red sand ants are no longer directly killed on the spot, but have to struggle and twitch their legs and feet a few times before their bodies slowly stiffen.

The bronze snake knew that this was because his physical strength was gradually exhausted.

The residual severe pain is also a great burden, making it increasingly difficult to concentrate.

The worse and worse state of battle, encountering the growing number of red sand ant colonies, under the advantages of one another, the tilt of the balance of victory and defeat is already clearly visible.

The bronze snake began to be powerless, and the circular safe space swept out with Jiang Yifan as the center also continued to shrink inward.

"Shhhh

Its already unstable mood became even more manic, and when it attacked again, it didn't even care if it would get hurt or not, and only cared about killing the red sand ants more efficiently so that the reduced safety circle could be re-expanded.

It's the feeling again!

It's this damn powerlessness again!

I've been training hard every day, but I still can't escape being enveloped by this feeling!

'Bang bang! ’

The bronze snake that kept exchanging injuries for killing, its manic mood continued to climb higher and higher, and when it was agitated to the very top, its heart suddenly beat violently without warning.

The world, as if frozen at this moment.

The nasty noise of the red sand ant colony disappeared, and everything in the bronze snake's field of vision was slowed down hundreds of times.

It summoned a voice whispering in its ear...

It's an ancient language, and although you don't understand it, you can understand the meaning of it - are you willing to exchange?

The bronze snake looked back and saw that the sound seemed to come from the thin wisp of blood mist behind him.

Earlier, when it killed the poisonous ray and the blood mist appeared, it faintly sensed the strangeness of this thing.

There is a mixture of power and cost, and it is impossible to tell whether the former or the latter occupy more of the part.

Staying away from it is the best way to deal with it.

But when I look at it now, the bronze snake lacks the fear in his heart at that time, but feels that the power contained in it makes him salivate.

The impulse urges it to accede to the call of this force.

But reason warns it that something will change the moment it agrees, and it is likely to embark on a road of no return.

How to choose?

Just as the bronze snake hesitated, it suddenly felt a pair of invisible hands, pulling itself out of the strange state of slow time.

"Master Snake... I'm so hot..."

Jiang Yifan, who had fine sweat on his forehead, murmured softly unconsciously.

His lips were pale and bloodless, but his cheeks were red.

It's frighteningly white, and it's sickly red.

This is a symptom of a high fever.

Even though the pain on his body has been transferred, during the period of suffering, it still caused related sequelae.

Because of the sudden and intense pain, the body's immune mechanism is triggered to try to destroy the germs that are mistakenly thought to exist in the body in the form of a high fever.

Although the pain had been transferred back to him by the bronze snake, since no germs were found, his body still maintained a high fever and refused to stop.

"Phew!"

Hearing Jiang Yifan's voice, the bronze snake hurriedly strangled a red sand ant and hurriedly retreated to his side.

After violently shaking off the blood beads on its tail, it carefully used the cold tail tip to gently stick to Jiang Yifan's hot forehead.

"Thank you..."

The brief cooling of his forehead soothed Jiang Yifan's frowning brows, and his palms groped slowly on the ground, trying to hug the cold body of the bronze snake.

Although the palm of his hand was still some distance away from him, the bronze snake took the initiative to lean over and let Jiang Yifan put his hand on his neck.

On hot midsummer nights, the boy often sleeps with it in his arms, even if he is reluctant...

"Whew!"

The surrounding red sand ants obviously did not intend to let such a warm moment last for a while, and continued to approach mercilessly.

The bronze snake, which had already calmed down a little, did not attack directly, but fell on the narrow passage that went back and forth between the two caves.

It wasn't going to devour the blood mist, because the uncertainty of the unknown was too great.

You may be able to gain power, but will it be enough to fight yourself against these red sand ants?

And can you bear the price of gaining power?

Besides, the Red Sand Ants only target the Blood Mist, not them.

If it wants to leave with Jiang Yifan, with the low IQ of this group of guys, it may not be too much to obstruct it.

"Shhhh

The bronze snake slowly pulled its head out, trying not to alarm Jiang Yifan.

However, when the palm of the hand naturally contracted into a clenched fist, it was lightly touched on its forehead.

For a moment, the bronze snake's body froze.

Because the scene where it pressed its forehead against Jiang Yifan's fist that night seemed to be reproduced in front of his eyes...

"Sizzle!!"

After a brief pause, the bronze snake did not hesitate to turn around and crash into a red sand ant that was about to approach the blood mist, and then opened its mouth to swallow the blood mist into its mouth.

With a burst of bean-like 'rattling' sounds of bones, the bronze snake's body instantly skyrocketed a few points at a speed visible to the naked eye!

'Whew-'

Then with a violent flick of the tail, countless red sand ants were overturned, creating a large piece of safe space next to Jiang Yifan.

The bronze snake held its head high, and its snake eyes flashed with cold light, looking down condescendingly at the surrounding red sand ant colony.

Father...

Won't lose!!
