Originally, Li Yunmu believed that Zhang Yuan and the others wouldn't be able to escape this calamity and would certainly be secretly harmed by Zheng Quan. After all, the ghost silk pollen wouldn't have any effect on the giant ants.
However, when Zhang Yuan and the others madly rushed through the cleared grass and even encountered the densely packed ants in front of them, what happened next left Zhang Yuan's mouth wide open. He was so startled that he couldn't react to what was happening.
The giant ants which had been surging with killing intent rushed forward, but when they were several tens of meters away from them, they scattered one after another. At this instant, the giant ants seemed to have encountered their nemesis and instinctively felt fear.
Their fear was even stronger than the thought of stopping Zheng Quan and the others from entering the central area. Large numbers of ants fled in all directions as they faced Zheng Quan and the others. Even the swarm of giant ants chasing behind them began to stir, and the speed at which they were chasing slowed down.
Although the scorpions didn't scatter like the ants, they slowed down and weren't willing to get close to them, allowing Zheng Quan and the others to escape by relying on the ghost silk pollen.
"Ha ha, good stuff, really good stuff. If I had known that this pollen would be so useful, I would have used it long ago to scare them away."
After the crisis was resolved, Zhang Yuan and the others began to laugh heartily. Little did they know that a sneer had appeared on Zheng Quan's face. Through the eleventh shadow's surveillance, Li Yunmu could clearly see the sneer on Zheng Quan's face.
It was obvious that the Ghost Kapok Powder used by Zheng Quan this time had been mixed with other additives, causing its properties to undergo a major change.
Therefore, the giant insects were terrified.
This was an innate, instinctive fear, a natural restraint. Even the twenty or so giant scorpions chasing after them would become powerless as soon as they got close to Zheng Quan and the others. Their combat strength would be reduced by 70%.
Thus, Zheng Quan and the others not only got rid of the crisis, they also seized the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack against the giant scorpions.
The giant scorpions, whose strength had been reduced by a large margin, not only were their bodies powerless, but when the ghost silk pollen scattered on their bodies, the defense of the thick armor covering their backs dropped by a few notches, making them no longer difficult to deal with.
Even He Miao and Zhang Ru could kill one of them if they joined hands.
In less than ten minutes, more than twenty giant scorpions were killed by everyone's joint counterattack.
"Good, with this pollen, why would we need to be afraid of entering the central area of the island?" Lei Yun's morale was roused. He raised his large blade and slashed again, cutting off the head of a three-meter-long giant scorpion.
"Then there's no time to lose. Since we've lost the passage to the outside world, let's head to the central area. Yang Wei, take a few experts with you and protect young master Zheng and the others. This time, we were able to escape with our lives because of young master Zheng's preparation. We must protect our heroes and not let them be bitterly disappointed."
Although Zhang Yuan was arrogant and condescending, he was not stupid. The more effective the Ghost Kapok Powder was, the more he realized that Zheng Quan and the others had come prepared.
Furthermore, he was even more worried about the situation in this alternate dimension than he had imagined.
So, he kept an eye on Zheng of and the situation.
"Wait a minute … I want to find Elder Brother Yunmu. Didn't you say that he stayed here to protect you? Where exactly did he go? Quickly tell me."
"I, I also don't know …" Zhang Ru was on the verge of tears.
When everyone returned to their original location, how could she still see Li Yunmu? She didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Yan'er, you don't need to look for him. At that time, he was besieged by so many giant ants and didn't have the ghost silk pollen. I reckon that he has already been digested by the ants. You should obediently follow us to the central area," Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"There's no need to look for him, Yan 'er. He was besieged by so many giant ants at that time, and he didn't have the Ghost Silk Pollen. I reckon that he has already been digested by the ants. You'd better follow us to the central area," Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"Let's go, listen to Zhang Yuan. Only after reaching the central area and obtaining control of the island will we be able to search for Yunmu's whereabouts." Zheng Quan sighed inwardly and advised her.
"Let's go. Listen to Zhang Yuan. Only by reaching the center of the island and obtaining control over it will we have the ability to search for Yunmu's whereabouts." Zheng Quan sighed inwardly, then advised.
Li Yunmu, on the other hand, was watching their performance from start to finish. He sneered inwardly.
But there was one thing he had to do.
This was because he also needed to obtain the formula that could truly scare away the ants. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to enter the center of the island. It would be very difficult for him to even take a single step forward.
However, getting the formula of the Ghost Silk Cotton from Zheng Quan and the others would be difficult.
Regardless of whether it was Zheng Quan or Luo Honghua, it was impossible for them to divulge such an important secret formula to outsiders.
The only way was to obtain it from Wang Yan.
But when Li Yunmu thought of Wang Yan, his head ached even more. He didn't want to owe her too much, so what should he do?
For the time being, Li Yunmu had no idea what to do.
[Host, you don't need to be conflicted. You can directly ask Wang Yan for the secret formula. If she is willing to give it to you, it will prove that you are even more important than her Earth faction in her heart. You should treat her well.
On the other hand, if she doesn't give it to you, it will prove that you aren't important in her heart. That way, you will be able to deal with the descenders without any misgivings.]
Li Yunmu had to admit that the system's suggestion was very reasonable and filled with reason.
Although Li Yunmu didn't want to do this, he wasn't someone who would hesitate at a crucial moment. He only lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then made a decision in his heart.
"Perhaps the system's words are correct. I should treat this as a test."
Immediately, Li Yunmu secretly released a summoning crystal crane to Wang Yan!
From this instant, Li Yunmu had revealed his identity to Wang Yan. This was because the summoning crystal crane hadn't been discovered in the Origin World for the time being.
When Wang Yan received the summoning crystal crane, she would certainly think of many things.
This was a test, a risk, and also a test of Li Yunmu's heart.
Without a doubt, if Wang Yan refused to divulge this secret, then Li Yunmu, who had his identity exposed, wouldn't hesitate to kill all the intruders, including Wang Yan, even if the eight shadows had to die twice.
Soon, Li Yunmu sent out his thoughts and released the summoning crystal crane.
How fast was the summoning crystal crane?
As a matter of fact, it couldn't even be described as fast or slow. It was an innate ability that couldn't be understood by humans. It walked between the layers of space and folded spaces.
