The young man waved his hand and a beam of fire flew out. The flame landed in front of the man-eating ants with a whoosh. The man-eating ants that quickly crawled forward were unable to dodge and were burned with a hiss. A foul smell accompanied by a burnt smell spread out and instantly filled the air.
Zhuo Junyue saw that his footsteps moved slightly, and the whole person flew several meters away in an instant. He was slightly surprised, looked at him, swung his sword and attacked the man-eating ants behind him with two sword qi, then rushed forward and came to the side of the young man.
There were exclamations and screams coming from the front. It turned out that in addition to the man-eating ants behind them, the man-eating ants on the left and right sides also surrounded them. Some of those who escaped slowly were devoured by the man-eating ants and turned into bones in an instant. Some were bitten by the man-eating ants and screamed, covering their wounds and running away.
"Go! Quick!"
Seeing that everyone was in a panic, Hunyuanzi couldn't help but curse: "Don't run left or right! Run forward! Forward!" He sent out flames to burn a large area of man-eating ants, protecting everyone from escaping. However, the man-eating ants were so numerous that they could not be burned all, and they could not be fought either.
A group of people were running forward wildly. Behind them, the trees in the area passed by the man-eating ants became hollow, and the weeds were crawling and pushed down. The dense army of man-eating ants were chasing and biting them from behind.
"There is a stream ahead! Cross the stream quickly! Quickly!" Master Chai in front shouted, and led everyone to take a deep breath and cross the stream in front which was several meters wide.
After everyone quickly escaped across the stream, the man-eating ants that were chasing them finally lingered around the stream for a while before leaving. Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down panting.
“That was a close call… Why are there man-eating ants in that place?” A disciple of the Chai family asked with a pale face. Thinking of the tribe member who turned into bones in an instant, he couldn't help but shudder.
There are so many man-eating ants that even if you want to fight, you can't. There are too many of them and they are small targets. If you encounter them, you can only run away.
Master Chai breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at his clansmen and instructed those around him, "See how many are dead? How many are injured?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man next to him responded and checked how many members of the Chai family were missing and how many were bitten.
"Uncle, what will happen if you are bitten by man-eating ants?" a young man asked in a trembling voice. He covered his arm with one hand, his face pale and he had not yet recovered.
Master Chai took a deep breath and looked at Hun Yuan Zi with a frown: "My Lord, we have never encountered man-eating ants. May I ask, what would happen if we were bitten by a man-eating ant?"
“Not much.” Hun Yuan Zi said, looking around for Zhuo Jun Yue and Feng Jiu, but seeing that they were nowhere to be found, he could not help but frowned.
Master Chai's heart sank when he heard this. What would happen? They had asked about it when they came here. This man-eating ant was one of the five poisonous creatures in the volcanic forest. But they didn't know what would happen to the people who were bitten.
Fan Yixiu also held his arm. He walked forward and asked solemnly, "Uncle Master, I was also bitten, but now the wound seems to be fine except for the pain. I should be fine, right?"
They knew too little about what was going on here, and especially after they encountered danger, they felt that their master had let them in and didn't care about their lives at all.
