"Oh no, this is the last bottle of meditation water." After throwing away the last bottle of meditation water, Yun Sheng couldn't remain calm. "If the guards still don't come, I'm really going to be eaten alive by this group of persistent ant beasts."
While Yun Sheng was hesitating, a few cunning flying ants took the opportunity to land on her magic wings that were already on the verge of collapse and ruthlessly gnawed on the magic elements.
Yun Sheng was on her guard. She gritted her teeth and cast a levitation spell. She floated a few inches higher and pulled some distance away from the densely packed ant beasts on the ground.
Not far away, the Dark Prince was like a stubborn rock, motionless.
After Divine Wind left, he maintained the same posture. He didn't take the initiative to retreat or run away.
He emitted a murderous aura that was as sharp as a blade.
With just a glare, the nearby ant beasts immediately bounced away as if they had encountered a fire.
Yun Sheng suspected that the Dark Prince only had a volcano. If those ant beasts got any closer, they would probably be killed instantly.
Just as Yun Sheng was cursing the Dark Prince in her heart for fighting the ant tide alone.
"Wuwuwuwuwu —" A strange insect sound came from the ground.
The insect sound came from the deepest part of the ground and sounded very much like a human's mumbling.
When it fell into a person's ears, it made them feel distracted and it was hard to raise their spirits.
As the sound became louder and louder, the ground protruded and a hole opened up. From the hole, a rotten smell like that of a corpse emitted out.
The ant beasts that were originally restless all carefully gathered towards the hole.
Upon closer inspection, their antennae were all drooping down as if they were commoners seeing an emperor and bowing in respect.
A giant ant the size of a dog crawled out from the ground.
Although it was called an ant, it was at least ten times larger than other ant beasts. Its size was about the same as Xiao Hei and its exterior was covered with a thick shell that was like a battle armor.
What was more shocking was that there were at least a hundred centipede-like legs under its abdomen. Each leg emitted a strong poisonous gas.
The soil under its feet immediately turned as black as ink. One look and one could tell that it was extremely poisonous.
"Commander-level Centipede Ant King." Even someone as calm as the Dark Prince couldn't help but change his expression.
Everyone knew that even though Insect Beasts were the weakest of all Magical Beasts, no one would ever look down on them because they were the most numerous on the continent.
After the insectoids evolved to a higher level, they would have more limbs. The more limbs they had, the higher the insectoid's age and cultivation base would be.
This beast tide came suddenly without any warning. The Dark Prince originally suspected that there was an extremely powerful magical beast general behind the beast tide causing mischief.
Just looking at the beast ants' attack just now, it was a mess and he didn't see any high level beast ants.
Who would have thought that such a monster would emerge from the ground?
The Magical Beasts in the Boundless continent were divided into nine levels from low to high. Above the nine levels were Commander-level Magical Beasts and General-level Magical Beasts. Perhaps only Marquis or Bishop-level Magicians could kill such a monster.
The level-three or level-four Magical Beasts that Yun Sheng had killed for practice earlier were at most level-five. In front of this level-nine Centipede Ant King, they were simply trash.
The Dark Prince was already at the peak of the continent's younger generation, but he was only a Marquis. Together with Yun Sheng, who was a Magician, they still had to face thousands of Centipede Ants. The two of them together were not enough to fill the gaps between this Commander-level Magical Beast General's teeth.
Seeing the appearance of the Commander-level Magical Beast, the Dark Prince knew that things were not looking good for him today.
The Centipede Ant broke out of the ground. It smelled the burnt smell of the Ant Soldiers' corpses around it and flew into a rage. It raised its head that was the size of a puppy and sprayed a ball of venom at Yun Sheng in the sky.
The venom was fishy and sticky, and its speed was as fast as an arrow.
Yun Sheng dodged and the sticky liquid stained the Wings of Wind on her back.
The Wings of Wind on Yun Sheng's body were already incomplete. Once the magic elements dissipated, she fell and was about to fall into the Centipede Ant King's mouth.
Her body abruptly stopped falling and a tall figure appeared beside her. The Dark Prince furrowed his thick brows and grabbed Yun Sheng's collar.
Yun Sheng and the Dark Prince communicated silently with their eyes and saw the disgust in each other's eyes. Almost at the same time, the two of them snorted and turned their heads away.
Even though the Dark Prince didn't like Yun Sheng, he didn't shake her off because he had "silently" promised Divine Wind that he would take care of Yun Sheng.
The Centipede Ant King became even more enraged when it didn't hit its target. It let out a strange cry as though it was blowing the horn of war.
The ant beasts that heard the commotion instantly flared up. They launched a fierce attack at the people closest to them, Yun Sheng and the Dark Prince.
The flying ants swarmed over like a flood. Yun Sheng's scalp was about to explode when he saw the beast ants rushing over.
The Dark Prince didn't have any tender feelings for the fairer sex and picked up Yun Sheng and ran in the opposite direction of Mt. Daoye with the fastest speed in his life.
Wu Hou's leg strength was much faster than these ant beasts.
But since it was extreme speed, it meant that it was exchanged with explosive qi. It was destined that it wouldn't last for long.
The Dark Prince was already very impressive.
While he was carrying Yun Sheng, he had been running at the speed limit for nearly an hour, maintaining an astonishing running speed that modern people would not be able to comprehend.
From the increasingly intense heaving of his chest, it could be seen that he was already quite tired.
Damn it, what is the Divine Wind King dragging on for?
The Dark Prince's legs were about to lose feeling. He could feel that his body had reached its limit.
Behind him, the ant beasts had already been pulled apart.
But a cloud of insects appeared in the sky. It turned out that the Centipede Ant King was following closely behind with a group of subordinates.
Just as the Dark Prince was like an arrow at the end of its flight, he saw a deep blue lake on the mountain range not far away.
"Lake!" The Dark Crown Prince, who was so tired that he didn't even want to take another step, lifted Yun Sheng in his hand and threw her into the lake without any hesitation as though she was a rock.
With a splash, Yun Sheng sank into the water. The moment before she entered the water, she saw a ball of qi on the Dark Prince's body like a wild python coming out of its hole.
Not long after the two of them fell into the water, the beast tide had already approached the lake.
In front of the bottomless lake, the ant beasts didn't dare to move forward without permission.
The Dark Prince stood beside the lake and the qi emitted from his body turned into a qi shield. He raised the qi shield and took a step forward, charging into the ant swarm.
In Mt. Daoye Citadel, the hunter branch was urgently mobilizing the entire city's forces.
"All hunters in Mt. Daoye, listen to my orders. A sudden beast tide has been discovered 100 kilometers away from the citadel. According to the hunters who returned to the citadel, this is a beast ant tide with tens of thousands of ant beasts. All hunters, including the citizens, are not allowed to leave the citadel. "
Once the news of the beast tide of ten thousand ant beasts was announced, the entire citadel panicked.
At this moment, the Divine Wind King, who brought back the news, was risking his life to charge out of the city.
