Abel didn't say anything else to Barbarian Ruin, but he became even more cautious.
Abel pointed forward, "We can't go forward anymore. We need to find a way around it."
The priest hesitated for a moment, "Do you know what dangers lie ahead?"
In the Purple Fog Forest, it was not easy to grasp the direction. The best way was to walk in a straight line. They were all powerful cultivators. Although there would be a slight change in direction, the general direction would not be a problem.
However, if they changed the general direction, the chances of getting lost in the purple mist forest would be much higher.
Abel shook his head, "I'm not sure, but I don't think we should go any further."
He knew. From the information he got from the trees, he saw a group of red giant ants with wings. There were a lot of them, and they were all spiritual beasts.
It was his first time seeing such powerful insects. He never thought ants could have the power of spiritual beasts.
Of course, he wouldn't say what he saw. Although he didn't want to keep his soulspeaker ability a secret, he wouldn't say it in front of Ruin, who was hostile to him.
"I believe you, Wizard Abel. Let's go in another direction!" Half-elf Leon said after hearing what Abel said.
"Big Horn, it's not the first time we've walked this path. If it doesn't work, I'll lead the way. I don't think anything can stop us." Ruin glanced at Abel. Although he didn't show any hostility, his tone was still against changing the direction.
"Ruin, since Wizard Abel said so, let's change the direction." The priest hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to believe Abel. Abel's performance in the forest was too eye-catching.
"Big Horn, look at the time. If we change the direction, we won't be able to get out of the purple mist forest when it's completely dark. Then we'll be in even more danger!" Ruin said to the priest. He then turned to the others and said, "If you're scared, you can stay here. I'll lead the way."
"Ruin …" The priest was about to say something, but Ruin had already rushed out.
Although Barbarian Ruin rushed out, he was not an idiot. He knew that there was something ahead, but he was more confident in his own power. He wanted to clear the danger ahead and then come back to humiliate Abel.
While driving the Mad Wolf forward, he once again buffed himself with Roar and Combat Mode, adjusting all of his conditions to the best.
100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, all the way to 500 meters. Barbarian Ruin's heart began to calm down. This distance was far beyond the range of a normal elite wizard's power of the will scan. Maybe Abel had misjudged.
As he thought, he sped up the mad wolf. However, when he reached 1000 meters, he was stunned.
He grabbed the mad wolf by the neck and forced it to stop.
Normally, if a Mad Wolf was forced to stop in such a violent manner, it would definitely go berserk, even if the one riding on it was someone recognized by its master.
However, the mad wolf was frightened by the red sea in front of it. It was a sea of red giant ants. Even in the dark forest, they could see their glowing red bodies.
As Barbarian Ruin was about to retreat with his dire wolf, a giant red ant had already locked its gaze on him.
The sound of flapping wings could be heard. This was the red giant ant sending a signal to its companions. Following this, the sound of countless flapping wings could be heard. Within the Purple Fog Forest, it was as if the forest was on fire, and a large number of red giant ants flew up.
They didn't fly very high, only about 2 meters above the ground, but their speed wasn't slow at all. They shot towards Barbarian Ruin like arrows.
"Run! It's the flaming poisonous ants!" Ruin was no longer as tough as he was when he faced Abel. He yelled and ran back the way he came.
It wasn't that he wanted to lead the Flaming Poisonous Ants back to the team, but in this Purple Mist Forest, even if he was running for his life, he didn't dare to run around aimlessly. Moreover, the only direction he could run in was back. There were already Flaming Poisonous Ants in other directions.
Barbarian Ruin's naturally loud voice came into play. Although there were countless trees blocking his voice, the adventurers who were a thousand meters away could still hear his voice.
"Why are they flaming poisonous ants!" Fear appeared on Priest Big Horn's withered face. Encountering a group of spirit beast-level venomous insects in such an environment was definitely a disaster.
Half-elf Leon's face also changed, "Let's go back!"
"Are the flaming poisonous ants very powerful?" Abel also turned Black Wind to follow Leon.
"The Flaming Venomous Ants have teeth that can bite through tough armor. Their bodies contain terrifying fire poison. When they bite an enemy, they will leave the fire poison in the enemy's body, causing fire and poison elemental damage to the enemy's internal organs!" Half-elf Leon comforted Mad Wolf as he replied.
Abel finally understood how scary the flaming poisonous ants were. Although they all had defensive abilities, those were only on the surface of their bodies. If the fire elemental damage was inflicted on the inside of their bodies, the damage they could cause would be incomparable to normal fire elemental spells.
Poison element damage was the hardest to heal. Fire and poison element damage combined together, and the flaming poisonous ants had the advantage in numbers. Once they were surrounded, the result would be very troublesome.
Of course, this was only for the other 3. As elite wizards, they could move in a flash and leave at any time. It would be a lot less dangerous.
As they retreated, Abel heard Ruin's painful scream. At the same time, half-elf Leon stopped.
"I'll go save him!" Half-elf Leon turned his mad wolf around and returned to where Ruin was screaming.
Priest Giant Horn looked at Abel helplessly, turned his mad wolf around, and turned around.
Priest Giant Horn was really helpless. If something happened to half-elf Leon, he would not be able to escape. His mad wolf was half-elf Leon's summon. If half-elf Leon died, his summon would die as well.
Of course, Priest Giant Horn had other ways, but whether it was skeletons or mud monsters, they would not be able to outrun the flaming poisonous ants in the Purple Mist Forest.
If he turned back to save Ruin and half-elf Leon, they might be able to escape together. Therefore, he had to turn back.
Abel shook his head. He was not worried at all. If he wanted to leave, he had many ways.
Of course, if the flaming poisonous ants were real spiritual beasts, he could just unleash his dragon essence and scare them away. However, they were insects, and they were naturally immune to dragon essence.
In other words, the dragon essence was too lazy to suppress insects. No matter what, poisonous insects would not be suppressed by dragon essence.
Black Wind was very fast. It only needed a slight acceleration to catch up with Priest Giant Horn. Afterward, both of them saw half-elf Leon, who was constantly unleashing his little whirlwind.
The environment of the forest was a hindrance to all spells. Although the little whirlwind could change direction on its own, it would still hit a tree and dissipate.
Half-elf Leon's little whirlwind flew towards a group of flaming poison ants surrounding Barbarian Ruin. The little whirlwind carried the power of nature and blew the fist-sized flaming poison ants away, but it didn't hurt Barbarian Ruin.
There were many taboos when casting spells in the forest. It was best not to use fire spells. Once the forest was set on fire, it would not only affect the caster, but it could also anger the powerful spiritual beasts in the forest.
The scariest thing was creating a spiritual beast tide. Countless normal spiritual beasts and spiritual beasts would run for their lives because of the fire. Its power could almost wipe out everything.
It was also best not to damage the trees too much. Destroying a large area of trees would also attract spiritual beasts that had a strong sense of location.
With the help of the little whirlwind, Ruin endured the pain and slapped away a few flaming poisonous ants that had bitten him. The mad wolf that was not as strong as him was already heavily injured, so it was forcefully taken back into half-elf Leon's monster portal bag.
This made Ruin, who was not fast to begin with, move even slower due to the fire poison. It was at this moment that the flaming poisonous ants had caught up. They covered the sky and surrounded Ruin.
Half-elf Leon's 5 crows flew over, but they could not do anything in the face of so many flaming poisonous ants. Their harassment could only attract a few flaming poisonous ants, and the poisonous creeper underground could not do anything to them.
Priest Big Horn's skeletons also arrived next to Barbarian Ruin, but they couldn't do anything to the flaming poisonous ants. Although they had a 50% chance of hitting a flaming poisonous ant with their attack speed, there were just too many of them.
"Dark vision!" He shouted loudly to remind everyone. A cursed cloud appeared in the sky, followed by cursed rain. A swarm of Flaming Poisonous Ants lost their target. However, Flaming Poisonous Ants were an organized group. Even if a portion of them lost their direction, they would continue to find their target under the guidance of another portion of Flaming Poisonous Ants.
Half-elf Leon did not care about Ruin. The little whirlwind he just unleashed had attracted the flaming poisonous ants' revenge, so he could only barely protect himself.
Priest Big Horn, on the other hand, stood far away so that he could retreat at any time.
"Ha!" As Barbarian Ruin yelled, the dozens of flaming poisonous ants around him were scared by the Mad Strike and flew away in all directions.
However, more and more flaming poisonous ants flew towards him, and a sense of despair rose in his heart.
The Barbarian's fighting style was big and wide, so it was not easy to deal with so many small targets at once.
If Barbarian Ruin were to fight against a group of powerful spirit beasts, he would have a much easier time than dealing with these low-level spirit beasts.
He knew that if he ran out of mana, he would lose the support of spells, and he would be eaten by the flaming poisonous ants.
At this most dangerous moment, a black shadow appeared next to him. It was Black Wind carrying Abel.
Abel grabbed Barbarian Ruin by the neck and threw him towards Priest Giant Horn. While he was throwing him, he also had the time to grab Barbarian Ruin's pair of battle axes.
He didn't want to save Ruin, but if he didn't, half-elf Leon would not leave. After all, half-elf Leon had been nice to him, and he explained things to him along the way.
Of course, he had other plans as well, which was why he took down Ruin's dual axes.
Abel had already put away his' leaf 'magic staff. Instead, he held a pair of giant battle axes in his hands. Black Wind seemed to have gotten the message.
Black Wind began to turn its body, and Abel began to turn as well. The battle axe in his left hand had already landed on the bodies of a few flaming poisonous ants. Afterward, he used the weak rebound force of this strike to increase his rotation.
The battle axe in his right hand followed the momentum of his spin and struck out a second time. The second strike knocked down a few flaming poisonous ants, which added a weak rebound force to his spin.
The flaming poisonous ants were too small, and the battle axes were too big. This made the rebound force very weak, and the whirlwind was a lot slower.
But how fast was Black Wind? With the help of the hell ability 'Extra Fast', its spinning speed had reached an extreme when it was combined with the 'Tornado (damaged)'.
"Is this still a wizard?" Priest Big Horn mumbled as he watched Abel spinning in the middle of the flaming poisonous ants.
Ruin's mouth was wide open. He knew what this move was better than anyone else, and it made him even more shocked.
He couldn't care less about the injuries on his body. He felt like his eyes weren't enough. He wanted to see Abel's every move, every detail.
However, with a large number of flaming poisonous ants surrounding him, Black Wind's spinning speed, and the two giant battle axes flashing with dark light, he could barely see Abel's movements.
A loud piercing sound emerged from the forest. Abel had already activated the ability of the world stone fragment. This was a forest, after all. He still had his soul speaker ability. He didn't want to damage the trees with this ability.
In his soul speaker state, every tree treated him as one of them. They would pass on information to him without holding anything back.
He held his axes and spun in the forest. Every strike was so fast that it was hard to see the trajectory of the axes, but he didn't hurt a single tree.
The flaming poisonous ants seemed to know that Abel was not easy to deal with. They flapped their wings faster, and the flaming poisonous ants around them began to gather towards Abel.
