Qiao Mo's intuition told him that Shao Qing was definitely not lower than level-4. A level-4 wood ability user's value was needless to say.
Now that Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue were a couple, it meant that Shao Qing was already a member of their base. Well, it seemed that he had to treat Shao Qing better. What if Yan Qiyue couldn't keep Shao Qing tied to him?
"We've got what we need. Collect some autumn tangs and let's go." After Qiao Mo finished speaking, the ability users quickly collected a bag of autumn tangs and prepared to retreat.
Although they had lost one person in this operation, they had also gained a lot. Overall, they had gained more than they had lost. Naturally, there were more good things in the jungle, but all of them understood that endless greed would only lead to death, so they obediently followed Qiao Mo back the way they had come.
However, before they left the territory, Shao Qing heard some strange noises. She couldn't help but jump up a tree and look into the distance. What she saw gave her a fright. In front of her, there was a dense mass of marching ants that she couldn't see the end of.
These ants had another name, they were called man-eating ants. There were many of them, and when they came out to hunt, they often came in a nest of ants, like a marching army.
Moreover, these ants were especially scary. Wherever they went, not even a blade of grass grew. Whether it was animals or plants, they would be eaten in an instant.
Even an elephant would not be able to last more than a few seconds before it was gnawed into a skeleton.
Even with Shao Qing's temperament, she couldn't help but change her expression. She quickly jumped down the tree, picked up Yan Qiyue, and said, "Split up, marching ants!"
This time, Shao Qing didn't need to explain. The group quickly divided into two groups. One group followed Shao Qing, which was smaller in number, and ran east. The other group followed Qiao Mo, which was larger in number, and ran west.
Although the marching ants would chase living things in their field of vision, they would only chase one side. This way, the other side would definitely survive, and it would depend on who was luckier.
Clearly, Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue's luck wasn't very good. When Shao Qing ran with Yan Qiyue in her arms, she turned around and saw the army of ants behind them. It was a black mass that gave her goosebumps.
In the jungle, the most frightening thing wasn't huge beasts, but marching ants. If they encountered huge beasts, they might be able to escape, but if they encountered marching ants, even if they had nine lives, they probably wouldn't be able to squander it.
The Marching Ants were very fast, almost at the same speed as Shao Qing. The people behind her were not as fast as Shao Qing and were constantly being chased. The two people were so scared that they kept throwing back fireballs and metal thorns.
They tried to stop them.
However, it was useless. They didn't even achieve their goal of slowing down the marching ants. Soon, a paranormal was caught. The ants had already climbed up his calf from his foot. Soon, they would probably cover his whole body. In panic, he grabbed his companion, and then the ants crawling all over his body followed his hand and climbed to his companion's body.
The paranormal screamed and burned the ants on his body with his power. Of course, what he wanted to do more was to shake off the hand that was grabbing him. However, the paranormal caught in the swarm of ants held on to him tightly and wouldn't let go.
When Shao Qing looked back, she only saw that the two of them were quickly covered by ants. After the swarm of ants passed, a pile of flesh-colored bones fell to the ground.
Marching ants were so scary.
Shao Qing didn't have time to sigh. She held Yan Qiyue in her arms and stopped running. Instead, she shot out vines and swung from tree to tree like Spiderman. It was faster this way, and she gradually got rid of the marching ants.
The marching ants were very fast, but when they passed by, they had to eat the nearby plants and animals, so their speed was naturally slower. Shao Qing ran desperately again. Although she was still holding Yan Qiyue in her arms, she was still faster than the marching ants.
"A Qing, there is a river in front!" Yan Qiyue said with some surprise. He was very self-aware that he couldn't run fast. If he insisted on being brave, he would probably lose Shao Qing, who came back to save him. Therefore, he stayed in Shao Qing's arms very obediently.
While they were running, Yan Qiyue saw a small river in front of them. It was about less than two meters wide. The water was clear. Ants should be afraid of water, right?
Before Yan Qiyue could figure it out, Shao Qing had already thrown out a vine and firmly wrapped it around a big tree on the other side of the river. Then they swung over.
When they swung over, a crocodile jumped up in the middle of the river and tried to bite them. Then Yan Qiyue kicked it back into the river, and it turned over dizzily.
They landed on the other side of the river. Even with Shao Qing's physical strength, she couldn't help but gasp slightly. They looked back and were shocked. Those ants had gone into the river!
At first, some ants floated in the river and drowned in the end. Later, those ants learned to be smart. They huddled together and rolled into the river. When they passed by the crocodile, they also ate the crocodile that had just turned over.
Yan Qiyue's eyes widened. Before he could say a word, Shao Qing carried him and ran away again. He only had time to take a look before he saw a huge black mass of ants rolling ashore and then quickly spreading out. Some ants at the outermost edge drowned, but 99% of the ants successfully crossed the river.
99% of the ants were heading in their direction again.
Along the way, no matter if it was a big tree or grass, a rabbit or a wild wolf, they were all eaten up. Yan Qiyue's heart was thumping. After a while, he suddenly said, "We can actually turn around."
Shao Qing was also stunned for a moment. Then she quickly turned around and hung herself and the person in her arms on a big tree from afar.
Then, the two of them watched as the mighty army of ants ran straight ahead. Not many of them turned around to look for them.
Shao Qing, "…"
Yan Qiyue, "…"
So why were they running for their lives?
