The boss shouted very loudly. Cultivators have sharp ears and eyes. Even though they ran out of the city, Qin Wanwan and Bai Suiyou still heard it.
The two men looked at each other subconsciously, but neither of them dared to look back. They could only pretend that they knew nothing and rushed towards the dense forest at full speed.
The spiritual horses in the world of cultivation run much faster than ordinary horses. It only takes less than a quarter of an hour to travel thirty miles.
In the distance, dense forests could be seen. Bai Suiyou said "we're here" and dismounted from his horse, tying it aside.
Qin Wanwan followed him down and dismounted. When she turned around, she saw Jian Xingzhi, who was covered in dust.
Although he tried hard to remain calm, Qin Wanwan could still see some embarrassment from his messy hair, white clothes stained by yellow soil, and gray face.
"you… "
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb." Jian Xingzhi spoke quickly and took the lead to walk towards the dense forest, "Let's go."
Bai Suiyou tied up the horse and walked back to Qin Wanwan. Looking at Jian Xingzhi's menacing back, he asked doubtfully, "Today... we are here to do the mission, right?"
"It seems so..."
Qin Wanwan was also a little confused, but she still quickened her pace and urged Bai Suiyou: "Follow me."
The three of them walked into the dense forest together. Bai Suiyou led the way in front and led the two inside.
Jian Xingzhi and Qin Wanwan walked side by side. The three of them walked all the way and there was nothing unusual around them. Qin Wanwan saw her Qiankun bag swinging at Jian Xingzhi's waist. She took advantage of Jian Xingzhi's inattention, pulled the bag with her hand, and put it into her sleeve.
Qin Wanwan felt relieved after the Qiankun bag came back. She immediately turned around and chatted with Bai Suiyou: "Fellow Daoist Bai, is this how we are going to find it?"
"Go a little deeper and find a suitable location. I will take out the incense ball made of fire spirit grass to attract these confusing ants."
Bai Suiyou explained: "The confused ants like the Fire Spirit Grass. When there is Fire Spirit Grass, all the confused ants within a five-mile radius will be attracted."
"There are too many of them," Qin Wanwan said with a worried look on her face, "Will we be unable to handle them all?"
"Except for the ant king, the other bewitching ants won't cause much harm. At most they'll just scare you, and you'll be fine after you wake up from your sleep."
Qin Wanwan nodded, and Jian Xingzhi asked another question: "What if it's the ant king?"
Bai Suiyou's face changed, and he spoke seriously: "If it is the Ant King, then it is a top-level demon beast of the Earth Rank. Not only will it transform into the thing that people fear the most, but it will also eat people after scaring them."
Qin Wanwan took a breath and said, "Then don't meet the Ant King."
As soon as he finished speaking, a "ding" sound appeared in Jian Xingzhi's mind.
Random task: Let Qin Wanwan fight with the ant king and obtain the ant king's tentacles. Points +50
Jian Xingzhi: “…”
If this goes on, can he really accomplish the mission of getting Qin Wanwan to protect him until he ascends
For the first time in his life, Jian Xingzhi began to doubt himself.
But if she can fight with the Ant King and obtain the Ant King's tentacle, it will be a good thing for Qin Wanwan's advancement.
Jian Xingzhi thought about it and began to think about how to get rid of Qin Wanwan and act alone.
Seeing that Jian Xingzhi hadn't spoken, Qin Wanwan coughed lightly and said, "That Zhang San," she leaned over to look at him, "It's too dangerous ahead. Why don't you go further away, lest we attract too many confused ants and harm you."
"good."
Jian Xingzhi agreed readily. Qin Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then she watched Jian Xingzhi trot away: "See you later."
Qin Wanwan stared blankly at Jian Xingzhi as he ran away. Bai Suiyou leaned over curiously and asked, "He's so easy to talk to?"
"No matter what," Qin Wanwan grabbed Bai Suiyou and ran, "Let's go."
By getting rid of this disaster star, she can avoid half of the trouble and safely go to the Tianjian Sect to carry out her mission.
Bai Suiyou watched Qin Wanwan dragging him along, with a strange smile on his face. He licked his tongue, raised his other hand silently, and prepared to give Qin Wanwan a knife, but as soon as he raised his hand, Qin Wanwan suddenly stopped and turned back: "No."
"Ah?" Bai Suiyou was startled and stood there awkwardly. Qin Wanwan looked at his hand, "What are you going to do?"
"Yes..." Bai Suiyou slapped himself lightly, "There are mosquitoes."
"Oh." Qin Wanwan nodded. She remembered, "We can't return empty-handed. We have to catch a few confused ants."
"That's right." Bai Suiyou nodded, "Then let's find an open space and lure all the confused ants over here."
Qin Wanwan responded, grabbed Bai Suiyou and ran towards an open space in front: "Let's go there!"
The two ran all the way to an open space. Qin Wanwan let go of Bai Suiyou and said, "Take out the Fire Spirit Grass."
"good."
Bai Suiyou nodded, panting, took out a silver sachet from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
He secretly glanced at Qin Wanwan. If anyone familiar with medicine could smell it, they would know that this was not Fire Spirit Grass at all, but a drug.
Qin Wanwan was obviously not very familiar with herbs. Seeing his hands not being at all shy, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly, waiting for Qin Wanwan to fall into coma.
However, after a while, Qin Wanwan looked up without any reaction, "Why are you smiling so strangely?"
Bai Suiyou's face froze: "You... don't feel anything?"
"What does it feel like?"
Qin Wanwan was a little confused.
Bai Suiyou coughed lightly, his face serious: "Ordinary people would feel a little dizzy when they smell the scent of Fire Spirit Grass for the first time, I'm glad you're okay."
"Oh." Qin Wanwan nodded, "I'm fine."
Bai Suiyou nodded. The two waited for a while, but there was no response from the surroundings. Qin Wanwan frowned and asked, "Why haven't you come yet?"
"Maybe," Bai Suiyou gritted his teeth, "The dosage is not big enough, I'll get some more."
"Hurry up." Qin Wanwan urged.
Bai Suiyou immediately took out ten more packets from the bag: "Smell it, do all ten packets have the same smell? I'm afraid I took the wrong ones."
Qin Wanwan took ten sachets from him, sniffed them and nodded: "Same smell."
"It seems that the dosage is not enough." Bai Suiyou took out another thirty sachets, "Would you like to try again?"
Qin Wanwan nodded, and after smelling thirty more sachets, she looked up at him and said, "This may still not be enough. Take out all the sachets you have."
"Okay," Bai Suiyou took a deep breath, "You said it."
After saying that, Bai Suiyou took out the Qiankun bag and poured it onto the ground. A mountain of sachets piled up. He pointed at the ground and said, "If you have the guts, smell them all."
"This is to attract the bewildering ants," Qin Wanwan was puzzled. "It's not poisonous to me, why would I smell so much of it?"
Bai Suiyou's face froze, and Qin Wanwan sat cross-legged on the ground: "Wait a moment, maybe the Confused Heart Ant needs some time to react."
Bai Suiyou nodded awkwardly and sat next to Qin Wanwan: "Maybe."
While Qin Wanwan was waiting for these confused ants, Jian Xingzhi walked out of her field of vision. She immediately closed her eyes and began to turn over the soil inch by inch with her spiritual sense. In less than a moment, she found the ant king's cave.
Jian Xingzhi turned around and rushed towards the ant king's cave, and soon arrived at the entrance.
Jian Xingzhi stood at the entrance of the cave, thinking about how to let Qin Wan fight with the Ant King and then let her get the inner elixir.
First, we must lead the Ant King to Qin Wan, and then give Qin Wan a reason to fight the Ant King...
But Qin Wan is such a coward, how could she fight with the Ant King
"Master, don't worry," 666 encouraged him, "You just need to lead this ant king to the mistress and be gentle when asking her for help. With the feelings the mistress has for you, she won't abandon you."
"Really?" Jian Xingzhi frowned, "I can't believe it."
"You have to believe in the plot!" 666 clenched his fists, "Even if the heroine is a little cowardly, she won't abandon the weak!"
Jian Xingzhi: “…”
He couldn't believe it.
But no matter what, there was no other choice at the moment. The first thing to do was to lure the ant king to Qin Wanwan alive and well.
Jian Xingzhi didn't think much about it and asked directly: "How do we get it out?"
"The ant king hates people who are more educated than him." 666 was very confident, "You can anger him by reciting a few more poems."
Jian Xingzhi was silent, and 666 was puzzled; "Master?"
"Before the bed..." Jian Xingzhi tried his best to search for the poems he had memorized, "The bright moonlight looks like frost on the ground..." (Note 1)
"Geese, geese, geese, they sing with their necks bent toward the sky..." (Note 2)
Jian Xingzhi stood at the entrance of the cave and recited poetry awkwardly.
The ant king was sitting in his cave picking his teeth, listening to the noise outside. He turned around and sneered at his younger brother: "This guy is even less educated than me. I can even recite "The Sun Sets Behind the Mountain"."
Jian Xingzhi recited all the poems he had learned in the mortal world. The ant king's cave was motionless. He clenched his fists and was a little afraid to speak.
"Why doesn't it come out?"
Hearing Jian Xingzhi's tone, 666 didn't dare to answer at all.
Because there is only one possibility, in the Ant King's mind... Jian Xingzhi is even less cultured than it.
Jian Xingzhi took a deep breath. He decided not to listen to 666 anymore. Without saying anything, he kicked to the front of the cave and yelled, "Come out!"
The ant king's cave shook, and the dust settled. He paused in picking his teeth, turned his head and looked outside: "Uneducated, so irritable."
Seeing that the ant king didn't move, Jian Xingzhi simply stepped on the ant king's cave and collapsed it. The ant king saw a man in white clothes with gray falling from the sky, kicking him in the face, leaving a footprint, then rolling over to the ground and looking at him coldly.
The ant king raised his hand to wipe the footprints on his face and said coldly: "You are looking for death."
As soon as he finished speaking, illusions came one after another, and Jian Xingzhi opened his mouth and recited the "Clarity and Tranquility Sutra"
“Human spirits like to be clear, but the mind disturbs it; human hearts like to be quiet, but desires pull them…” (Note 3)
“Ahhh!!”
The ant king shouted angrily and instantly turned into a giant ant lying on the ground.
"Damn Taoist priest," the ant king said in a voice as loud as a bell, "How dare you chant in front of me? I will devour you!"
After saying that, the ant king rushed towards Jian Xingzhi quickly. The tentacles on his head were two huge steel knives, and he stabbed Jian Xingzhi wildly.
Jian Xingzhi was as light as a swallow, and he led the ant king and ran wildly towards Qin Wanwan.
He ran and chanted at the same time. Ever since he discovered that chanting could stimulate the ant queen, Jian Xingzhi had an invisible sense of superiority.
He didn't learn much poetry, but he knew how to recite a lot of scriptures.
He could recite to it for a whole day and a whole night, and recite the ant to death!
The more Jian Xingzhi thought about it, the happier he became. As he was about to get in front of Qin Wanwan, 666 quickly reminded him, "Master! Be gentle!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Xingzhi immediately slowed down, pulled off his clothes while running, grabbed his hair, and staggered towards Qin Wanwan.
Qin Wanwan was lighting a fire and roasting the sachets over it. She fanned them and asked Bai Suiyou: "Friend Bai, did you buy a fake?"
Bai Suiyou sat aside, with a look of despair on his face: "Maybe."
"How about we just call it quits today?"
Qin Wanwan thought about it and decided that it was more important to get rid of Jian Zhiyan. There would be trouble wherever Jian Zhiyan was. Maybe the reason why she couldn't catch the Confused Ant today was because of him
Upon hearing this, Bai Suiyou immediately became happy: "You're right, let's do it another day."
Qin Wanwan nodded and was about to put out the fire and leave when she felt the ground shaking. She and Bai Suiyou looked up and heard a roar. Then they saw Jian Xingzhi suddenly fall to the ground from the bushes. His hair and clothes were messy, and he looked as if he had just been attacked. He raised his head from the ground, stretched out his hand, and shouted miserably, "Wanwan, save me!!"
The ant king behind him was so frightened that the steel knife that was about to fall stopped.
Qin Wanwan and Bai Suiyou were also stunned. They slowly raised their heads together and looked up at the ant king behind Jian Xingzhi, whose tentacles were like knives, mouthparts like blades, and whose body was like a hill.
After a moment, Qin Wanwan turned around and ran without hesitation!
Jian Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, then he quickly stood up, passed Bai Suiyou, whose eyes were empty, and rushed after Qin Wanwan. He ran side by side with her and shouted, "Don't run, save me!"
"You're running so fast, do you still need me to save you?!"
Qin Wanwan pointed to the side and said, "Run separately!"
He was the one who provoked the Ant King. Now they were running away from each other and the Ant King was not chasing after Qin Wan at all!
Jian Xingzhi immediately refused: "No, I can't be separated from you!"
"Are you sick!"
Qin Wanwan gathered all her strength and cursed in despair.
Qin Wanwan was desperate, and Jian Xingzhi was also desperate, but he thought that as long as he ran faster than Qin Wan, the ant king would bump into Qin Wan and fight with Qin Wan first.
Qin Wanwan thought so too.
So for a while, the two of them chased each other in the dense forest, a life-and-death contest. Jian Xingzhi not only wanted to catch up with her, but also to stop her from running out of the forest, so that the ant king would not chase her. So he ran in the outer circle, and when Qin Wanwan tried to run out, he squeezed her in. And he had to run while making provocative remarks: "That big ant bullied me, I am yours, and you don't care? What kind of woman are you! What kind of master are you!"
"I'm not a woman!" Qin Wanwan replied in a panic, "I'm not your master either, please let me go!"
"Go back, it's just an ant, go back and cut off its antennae, then we don't have to run away!"
"Fuck, it's at the top of the Earth Rank, you're asking me to die, I'll chop you up if I want to!"
"How can I not chop it?!" Jian Xingzhi panted, "Why are you so useless?!"
"I want my life over my career! Nothing good has ever happened to me since I met you! Stay away from me!"
"You think I want to be with you? You have no blood at all!"
"You have no brains at all!"
As they were talking, the two began to curse at each other and ran as they did so, completely unaware that the Ant King was getting farther and farther away. After a long time, they heard a loud "bang" behind them. Qin Wanwan and Jian Xingzhi stopped and looked back, only to see the Ant King lying peacefully on the ground.
fainted.
