Chapter 287: Rendezvous

The six Zhan Zhi Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Dome Sect, led by the red-haired monk Landuff, were quite similar to the encounters of the seven scattered cultivators led by Likochi.

They also found a small number of mature fire-bathing vines in the area on the opposite edge of the Fire Chain Island.

After succeeding, they found more mature fire-soaked vines in the deeper areas of the island, which also had a nest of fire-eating ants.

All their attention was on the mature fire-bathing cloud vine and the guardian demon fire lizard, and the monks of the Heavenly Dome Sect did not notice this fire-eating ant nest.

While snatching the ripe fire-bathed cloud vines, the nest of the fire-eating ants was unfortunately affected in a chaotic battle with the demonic fire lizards guarding the area.

And these fire-eating ants, too, blamed the damage to the nest and the death of their partners on the human monks who broke into the place, and then swarmed out and attacked the human monks.

But there is one thing that their luck is different from that of Lykochi and other loose cultivators.

This is the nest of the fire-eating ants, and the waiting place of the demon fire lizard, which is even closer.

As a result, a monk of the Heavenly Dome Sect had bad luck.

As he retreated, he retreated to the exit of the fire-eating ant's nest, unaware of the fact that he was preoccupied with the demon salamander.

By the time the fire-eaters swarmed out, he was too late to dodge and was pounced on by hundreds of fire-eating ants.

As a result, the monk came to a miserable end.

In an instant, these fire-eating ants that pounced on him used their iron teeth and steel teeth to bite through the monk's robes and armor. The armor that could withstand the sword was pierced by these fist-sized fire-eating ants in one bite.

He screamed a few times, and then he fell to the ground, and more fire-eating ants swarmed out and scrambled to pounce on him.

It was only a moment before a large pile of fire-eating ants had formed on him.

Soon, the large pile of fire-eating ants dispersed.

This poor Heavenly Dome Sect monk, where he fell to the ground, only fragments of magic clothes, armor, and red blood stains remained.

There were no bones left of him, not even a slag left.

The rest of the five Heavenly Dome Sect cultivators, seeing this scene, were so frightened that their souls flew away!

Where do they dare to entangle with these fire-eating ants, they only think about how fast they can escape, and they can run as fast as they can.

And this unfortunate fallen monk, the place where he fell, attracted a large number of fire-eating ants, restrained the attention of the fire-eating ants, and virtually reduced the pressure on the rest of the Heavenly Dome Sect monks. It was also the poor monk who, before his death, did his best to escape his companions.

The five monks of the Heavenly Dome Sect immediately rushed up with a burst of spiritual energy, and they rushed up lifelessly.

It wasn't until the aura in their bodies was greatly reduced and they had to use the pill to regain their spirits that they stopped.

After resting for a while, they heard a loud noise coming from the way they fled.

When you look closely, not only is there a rushing fire red on the ground, but there are also dense fire-eating ants with three pairs of transparent wings in the sky, and the tide is rushing towards the direction where they are.

Fire-eating ants have a keen sense of smell.

In particular, the fire-eating ants that had eaten the flesh and bones of the fallen monks were even more cheerful and sensitive to the smell of human monks.

They followed the scent and chased after them, driving more fire-eating ants behind them.

The five monks of the Heavenly Dome Sect had no choice but to continue to run forward under the leadership of Landuff.

At this time, another group of monks on the Fire Chain Island, the Flying Snow Ice Spirit Sect monks led by Laurentian, also fell into the same danger.

The four of them, as they retreated from the huge underground cavern, unfortunately passed by a nest of fire-eating ants.

As they retreated, they fought back against the pursuit of the demon salamanders, which also alarmed the fire-eating ants who were busy in their nests.

After suffering a lot of losses from the fire-eating ants, Laurentian and others also knew that it was really difficult to resist the ant-sea tactics of a large number of fire-eating ants.

They also fled quickly, being chased by a torrent of fire-eating ants.

And Tang Junyi and the others withdrew in the opposite direction to the retreat of the Flying Snow Ice Spirit Sect monks, and they happened to avoid the fire-eating ants.

This is also a kind of fortune.

If they are closely chased by fire-eating ants, I am afraid that Tang Xindu and Liancheng Daoists will not have a chance to attack Tang Junyi, and things will develop in another direction.

If that were the case, it would be a different situation.

Chen De and Tang Junyi fled forward, and at first they could choose to flee to a relatively quiet place, but soon after, there seemed to be a "buzzing" sound everywhere on this Fire Chain Island.

Fire-eating ants are pouring out of their nests in all directions.

I don't know how these fire-eating ants interact with each other.

After a few fire-eating ant riots in several nests, it seems that the entire island of fire-eating ants is in an uproar and gushing out of the nests.

There are two types of nests built by fire-eating ants.

One is the place where the aura is strong. Therefore, every place where there is a mature fire-bathing vine, there is basically a nest of fire-eating ants.

One is a place where it's convenient for them to eat. There is a lot of metallic lava in these places, or there are places where metal veins pass through.

As a result, there are many nests of fire-eating ants on the island of Fire Chain.

The fire-eating ants all over the island were in an uproar, and the four teams of monks had fire-eating ants behind them, and they were in hot pursuit.

The Chain of Fire is a fairly large island.

In addition to the fact that when the fire-eating ants first started to riot, Likuchi and the other seven scattered cultivators had an encounter with Chen De and them, now, in different areas of the island, four teams of monks are being chased by large groups of fire-eating ants.

Among them, there are fewer fire-eaters behind Chen De and Tang Junyi.

Because the two of them tried to speed to a relatively quiet place, there were far fewer fire-eating ants joining the pursuit and intercepting them along the way.

The Flying Snow Ice Spirit Sect Monks, the Heavenly Dome Sect Monks, and the seven scattered cultivators all flew forward with one mind, and in the process of escaping, they began to be constantly blocked by a large group of fire-eating ants in front of them.

Although they changed direction in time and avoided the attack, or broke away from the fire-eating ants in the way, they were in hot pursuit, and naturally joined the army of pursuing fire-eating ants. As a result, there are more and more fire-eating ants behind them.

This made all three teams of monks cry bitterly.

Moreover, in the process of escaping, their aura is constantly consumed, but there are more and more fire-eating ants behind them.

The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous the situation becomes.

On the island of Chain of Fire, there is one area that is the most barren. The aura here is thin, with no metallic veins or metal-rich magma.

Therefore, there are no nests of fire-eating ants in this area.

The Flying Snow Ice Spirit Sect Monks, the Heavenly Dome Sect Monks, and the seven loose cultivators, they fled while evading the interception of the fire-eating ants, and they naturally gathered in this area of the island.

And the same is true of Chen De and Tang Junyi, they always flee to places where fire-eating ants are sparse, so they fly to this area.

Chen De and Tang Junyi were fleeing forward when they saw several monks in front of them on their right, rushing diagonally in their direction, and behind them was an army of fire-eating ants that could barely be seen.

Chen De and Tang Junyi both said in their hearts: It's not good!

Quickly turn to the left and fly wildly.

Coincidentally, Chen De and Tang Junyi, the group of monks that they didn't see clearly were none other than Likuqi and the other seven loose cultivators.

Knowing that Likuqi and the other Seven Cultivators were not far away from them, Chen De said to Tang Junyi while galloping: "There are too many fire-eating ants in this place, if there are too many of them, it will be better to deal with them." ”

As soon as Tang Junyi heard this, he understood: if he met with these scattered cultivators, he would be able to resist the fire-eating ants for a while, and the chances of escape would be greater.

As he galloped, he shouted, "A few fellow Daoists, please join us quickly!"

Likuchi and the other seven cultivators have seen it. Now, not far away, two people, or rather, three of them, were speeding almost parallel to them, for one of them was carried in the hands of the other.

The person who was carried in the hands of others was the swordfish junior brother.

He had already woken up, but his cultivation was lost, and he was already a mortal, and if he was allowed to escape by himself, he would only be chased by fire-eating ants in an instant, and there would be no scum left after being eaten.

Until now, Tang Junyi has not thrown him away in order to escape faster. Let the resentment of the swordfish junior brother towards Tang Junyi's abolition of his cultivation be alleviated a little.

Likuchi saw clearly that these people were the ones they had encountered on the way to escape when they were just chased by the fire-eating ants.

Apparently he understood the benefits of joining forces, and said to his companions, "Go!"

Among the other six people, some people recognized that Chen De and Tang Junyi were the monks they had met, and no one hesitated.

Soon, Likuqi and the others met with Chen De and Tang Junyi.

Naturally, the army of fire-eating ants in the back grew even stronger.

The Heavenly Dome Sect monks, who had lost one person, and the four monks of the Flying Snow Ice Spirit Sect, were also fleeing for their lives in this area at this time.

Chen De and the others first met the six monks of the Heavenly Dome Sect, and at Tang Junyi's loud invitation, they joined them together.

At this time, the number of fire-eating ants behind the three groups of monks was even larger. Instead, an unexpected situation arose.

That is, because there are too many fire-eating ants, the fire-eating ant team chasing human monks is too dense, and when flying, galloping and jumping, each fire-eating ant and its surrounding companions will interact with each other, which in turn affects the pursuit speed of these small demon beasts.

The monks who fled for their lives in front clearly felt the slowdown in the pursuit of the fire-eating ants. A little relieved.

Originally, I was worried that the number of fire-eating ants would increase and it would be more and more difficult for them to escape, but it was alleviated.

Soon, this team of monks, who had grown to more than a dozen people, met the four monks of the tall Flying Snow Ice Spirit Sect.

This time, without waiting for Tang Junyi to speak, Lan Dufu of the Heavenly Dome Sect preemptively called out and loudly invited the monks of the Flying Snow Ice Spirit Sect to join.
