Chapter Seventy-Seven: Devouring Ants
The hot heat wave made Ye Qing feel as if he was walking in flames, and it was indeed a place called the death zone, the moment Ye Qing stepped on his feet, he felt that the temperature here was extremely high, coupled with the thin air and turbid aura, ordinary creatures could not survive here at all.
It's such a place of death, all kinds of strange things grow at the same time, and you can even see a lot of plants, and some desert rats are shuttling.
"It's so hot!"
Even Ye Qing, a person who can withstand high temperatures, began to sweat like rain after walking in this place for a while, taking out the water source and drinking it desperately.
But Ye Qing had to move on, because of this, he was able to escape the pursuers behind him.
It is said that since Ye Qing killed the Barbarian King and his personal guards that day, Ye Qing has a rough assessment of his strength, and his current strength should be between the middle and late stages of the king rank.
In the face of ordinary kings in the early stage, Ye Qing can defeat and kill the opponent, in the face of the king in the middle stage, with only the martial arts ability, Ye Qing can basically remain undefeated, if you add the surprise attack of the scholar's ability, it is not impossible to kill the opponent.
But if the opponent is the king of the late stage, Ye Qing can only save his life, if he encounters the peak king, then he is likely to even have little chance of escaping.
But what Ye Qing didn't expect was that after he killed the barbarian king, he actually provoked the anger of the barbarian king class, and dispatched five kings to encircle and suppress Ye Qing, three of them were mid-stage and two were late-stage.
The vast Mengniu Grassland was originally the territory of the barbarians, but it was their home field, how could Ye Qing, an outsider, evade their search, besides, he didn't know that there were five kings encircling and suppressing his Ye Qing, and he did not hide his whereabouts when he acted, but instead created a bloody storm on the Mengniu Grassland, slaughtered dozens of small barbarian tribes, and rescued many enslaved Terran compatriots.
Just when Ye Qing wanted to slaughter the small barbarian tribe again, the five barbarian kings finally found Ye Qing and broke out a shocking war, and the aftermath of the battle alone directly bombed this small barbarian tribe into ruins.
Ye Qing, who was in danger, burst out with two hundred percent of his potential, and even used the spirit book attack at the last moment, only to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the barbarian king, after killing the two mid-stage kings, he escaped from the encirclement with a body of medium and serious injuries.
Ye Qing, who was on the run, panicked, and accidentally rushed into the forbidden place in the hearts of this barbarian, the Desert of Death.
Ye Qing has been wandering in this death desert for three days now, but he still hasn't driven it out, Ye Qing knows where the barbarian kings on the periphery have been guarding. Most of the injuries on the body are healed, and they no longer affect normal activities, even if you want to fight with people, it's okay.
Since he can't beat anyone when he goes out now, Ye Qing naturally won't stay where he is stupid, he is still very interested in adventure, after all, no matter which forbidden place in the world, it is actually a copy in disguise, and it can burst out good things, isn't it written like this in the novel.
"Rub!"
Ye Qing's action in the desert woke up a sleeping desert rat, and saw that a strange creature had intruded into his territory, this desert rat didn't even protest, so he ran away directly, the speed is called a fast.
However, immediately, Ye Qing heard a terrible scream, and when Ye Qing hurriedly came to the place where the scream came from, he only saw that the desert rat that had escaped just now was covered with a layer of pitch-black substance, wriggling on it, and soon the entire desert rat was invisible, only Senbai's bones remained.
"There is such a dangerous species as devouring ants here, and it really lives up to the title of Death Desert,"
Devouring ants, is one of the ancient insects, although its strength is very weak, even inferior to the amethyst bee, but its population is much larger than the amethyst bee, they are a meat species, like fresh food, the more vigorous creatures, the more their favorite.
The most important thing is that their devouring ignores defense, even if it is an emperor-level fierce beast, as long as it is bitten by a devouring ant, it can also break through their defense, and their devouring speed is also super fast, even if it is a fierce beast of dozens of zhang, they can devour it in a few breaths.
"Buzz!"
A small desert rat naturally could not satisfy the appetite of this group of devouring ants, and soon, there was a buzzing sound on the ground, and swarms of desert devouring ants appeared, covering almost the entire desert, a radius of thousands of kilometers, all of which were this kind of desert devouring ants.
"Damn, is this how powerful people (ants) are, in this case, there is no solution to the half-saints, I'd better withdraw first!"
Ye Qing opened the way with the flame knife, emptied the front, split a passage, and then left quickly, this devouring ant likes to live in groups, almost thousands of hundreds of millions gather together, and Ye Qing stayed only to deliver food.
Although Ye Qing can also fly for a short time now, these devouring ants have wings, and they can fly at a height of about a few meters, and if they catch the opportunity, they can devour an adult in an instant.
In front of Ye Qing, groups of desert rats also began to realize the danger coming, and they crawled out of their burrows one after another, and began to join the fleeing army.
Not to mention, this desert had a harsh environment before its death, but there were many animals that survived, such as scorpions, snakes, etc., but the aura here is thin, and the general strength is not very good.
Ye Qing hadn't run far yet, and when he looked back, his scalp was numb, and the slow-running desert rats behind him were immediately surrounded by the desert devouring ants, completely covering their whole bodies, and in an instant, only Sensen's white bones remained.
Perhaps the devouring ants hadn't eaten for a long time, and when they smelled fresh flesh, they began to go berserk, and although they looked only the size of their thumbs, they grew a pair of long fangs, and if they were bitten, they would tear off a piece of flesh.
The number of them is increasing, and they are gradually forming a trend of closing, trying to trap all the creatures here, fanning their wings, making buzzing sounds, and starting to attack these people.
"Get out of here!"
A large area of devouring ants also appeared in front of Ye Qing, and he could even feel their fangs, but Ye Qing had already prepared, the light of the spirit book in his hand flashed, and a strong palm force appeared in front of him, and there seemed to be an invisible copper wall in front of him.
But these numbers are just a drop in the bucket for a huge devouring ant colony, and they are not worth mentioning, and they can't hurt their vitality at all.
The scene was very chaotic, the whole world was filled with devouring ants, Ye Qing's situation was even better, their own strength was good, and they also had the protection of the book domain, which guarded his body tightly, and the devouring ants couldn't pass through, and after getting closer, they were burned by Ye Qing.
But those desert creatures who fled for their lives were not so lucky, more than ninety percent of them were surrounded by devouring ants, although they were still able to resist one or two, but in Ye Qing's opinion, they couldn't last long.
"Squeak!"
There was another scream, and a fleeing Hou Rank snake beast accidentally fell into the quicksand, and was instantly swallowed by the swarming devouring ants behind him, and disappeared.
Quicksand, that is a common natural phenomenon in the desert, but it is also a natural trap, if it is usual, caught in the quicksand, maybe there is a chance of survival, but today, there are countless devouring ants behind him, falling into the quicksand, it is equivalent to losing life.
"Boom, boom!"
At this time, Ye Qing was already surrounded by devouring ants, and he had no choice but to release a flame giant palm that had not been used for a long time, each palm could clear a piece of devouring ants and open up a way to escape.
After Ye Qing opened up a path for himself, he escaped without looking back, running continuously for a distance of thousands of miles, knowing that he couldn't feel the devouring ants behind him, he slowly stopped, at this time, even if it was Ye Qing, who was full of blood and blood, Ye Qing was tired and panting, without the slightest trace of a master's demeanor.
However, Ye Qing did not gain anything here, at least the desert environment here increased his experience, making him have a deeper understanding of the meaning of the spirit book in his hand about fire and high temperature.
After recovering his strength for a while, Ye Qing embarked on the journey again, although there were terrifying creatures like devouring ants here, Ye Qing did not give up his plans to explore the Death Desert, maybe he could still get some adventures here.
However, after what happened just now, Ye Qing was also a lot more careful on the way forward, and everywhere he looked, he was vigilant.
For two days in a row, there was no danger, only a few desert creatures attacked, but before they could get close to Ye Qing, they had already been wiped out by him.
That night, Ye Qing finally felt that the air was no longer so hot, and there seemed to be a trace of water vapor in his breath.
Ye Qing's eyes looked ahead, about 10,000 meters ahead, there was an oasis there, I couldn't imagine that there was an oasis in this death desert, it seemed that the name of death was not very accurate.
Ye Qing gathered all his momentum, and then began to cautiously move towards the oasis, trying not to alarm the fierce beasts that survived here.
The oasis is definitely a treasure in the desert, so the fierce beasts that occupy this place should also be the overlord of the desert, at least the strongest existence in this vicinity, in order to be able to suppress the fierce beasts that are eyeing the neighborhood.
After approaching the edge of the oasis, Ye Qing began to stop, radiating his perception, and he decided to find out all the terrain around him first, so as not to be able to escape in case of accidents.
