Chapter 1832: Chapter 1832: Blocking Out the Sky and Sun
"Damn."
At the moment of the Three-eyed Crow’s death, a cultivator from the Divine Dragon Hall outside Life and Death Valley was suddenly shocked and fell to the ground.
"What’s wrong?"
The surrounding cultivators from the Divine Dragon Hall couldn’t help but look at him.
In the Ten Demon Hall, the Three-eyed Crow was considered a third-rate bloodline; its only function was that those who fused with this bloodline could share the vision of the Three-eyed Crow. Therefore, these cultivators were used as scouts.
Though not powerful, they were highly useful.
"What’s the matter?"
The general of the Divine Dragon Hall glanced at him. The cultivator looked terrified, his face regaining some color after a while: "I have fulfilled the mission entrusted by the General, but my Three-eyed Crow was attacked by Fire Ants as it was leaving, and it fell into the ant swarm, turning into a pool of blood in an instant."
He shared the vision with the Three-eyed Crow, so when the crow fell into the ant swarm, he experienced it vividly.
"Hmm, once the ant swarm is alerted, they’re doomed."
The general said with a cold smile.
"General, there’s one more thing."
"Speak."
"I only saw Li Feng enter Death Valley; the others are hiding in the middle of Life and Death Valley and did not all enter."
The general’s face displayed a smirk: "Ha, no need to worry, once the ant swarm is alarmed, no one inside Life and Death Valley can escape."
"Those Demon Plants in Life Valley, do you really think they’re insignificant? Previously, Li Feng and others passed through just to offer some food to the ant swarm, which counts as a tribute. Now that the ants are alarmed, the Demon Plants will also seal the retreat, preventing them from escaping easily."
The boundary of Life and Death Valley.
Sikong Yu and others witnessing the changes before them were also startled, even though they knew there would be swarms of Fire Ants in Death Valley, when they appeared, everyone was still shocked.
The white bone river before instantly turned into flowing molten lava, countless Fire Ants crawling out, forming an endless army filling the valley.
That’s right, filling.
These Fire Ants weren’t just one layer, but densely packed in layers, moving like rolling waves, making one’s scalp tingle.
Li Feng, having just retreated less than a hundred meters after entering Death Valley, found his back path already cut off by the ant swarm, and what was on the ground was only the tip of the iceberg.
On the sides of the mountain walls, countless holes revealed more Fire Ants, which then vibrated their wings. Suddenly, swarms of Fire Flying Ants gathered like floating clouds, forming and dispersing rapidly, changing shape like the morning glow.
But this wasn’t all; countless more Fire Ants were gathering, seemingly wanting to blanket the entire valley.
"This!"
Facing this scene for the first time, Ran Yue and Lei Ba were all dumbfounded, Ran Yue even swallowing: "Li Feng, come back quickly."
"It’s useless, once the Fire Ant swarm is alarmed, it won’t let anyone leave."
"What do we do now?"
Without waiting for Sikong Yu’s response, a cry of panic came from behind.
A trusted aide charged forward in panic, saying to Lei Ba and others: "No, the passage behind us is blocked."
"What?"
Lei Ba and others quickly bypassed a nearby ridge, looking towards the back, seeing countless Demon Plant vines weaving into a net, directly blocking the midsection of the valley mouth, sealing Death Valley entirely.
"Damn, now we’re out of options."
Lei Ba gritted his teeth.
Simultaneously, Li Feng stopped, surrounded on all sides by swarming ants like thousands of troops and horses. Seeing him surrounded tightly, he couldn’t see beyond ten meters, as not only the ground was covered with Fire Ants, but the sky was also surrounded by flying Fire Ants.
Seeing this, Li Feng drew out the King Sword, aimed at the flying ants ahead with a blast of Sword Qi, shredding hundreds of flying ants instantly. But the gap was quickly filled, and through this strike, Li Feng saw the thickness of the ant swarm.
The Sword Qi couldn’t penetrate.
The Sword Qi swept at least thirty to fifty meters, killing countless ants, yet Li Feng couldn’t see the end of the gap that appeared for that moment.
Hence, the number of Fire Ants might not be millions, but possibly tens of millions.
As Li Feng slashed out, the ant swarm also attacked, not just taking hits without fighting back. Instantly, the ground swarm surged from all sides, surrounding Li Feng, while the flying ants in the sky swept in clockwise.
Prepared, Li Feng extended his domineering aura ten meters outward, this aura inherently intimidating and oppressive. Individual Fire Ants weren’t strong enough to resist Li Feng’s aura; approaching it resulted in instant explosion.
However, the exploding Fire Soldier Ants scattered molten lava acid liquid like grenades onto the aura shield, causing sizzling sounds.
Simultaneously, the swarms of Fire Flying Ants launched long-range attacks, ceaselessly spraying molten lava acid liquid, descending like acid rain.
The domineering Gang Qi seemed unable to endure the corrosion of molten lava acid liquid. While the Fire Ants were weak, their number compensated for individual shortcomings, each being a moving bomb, exploding furiously.
The molten lava acid liquid inside them corroding his Gang Qi, evident that sustainment wouldn’t last long. No wonder these weak individual ants could inspire fear, even forcing the Sikong family to avoid their sharp edges, developing paths to bypass.
The domineering Gang Qi continually crushes the swarming Fire Ants, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, yet they don’t mind this death toll, still advancing relentlessly, compressing Li Feng’s Gang Qi.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...
Li Feng not only used his aura to crush but also swung the King Sword, incessantly blasting out Thunderflame Sword Energy, but couldn’t see any glimmer of hope.
Learning that the retreat behind was sealed, while Fire Ants started swarming from ahead, Sikong Yu and others had to split into two routes, one trying to open the retreat, the other blocking the approaching Fire Ants.
"Look over there."
Ouyang Qiuhai glanced afar, ignoring the swarm of flying ants and Fire Ants ahead, because compared to anomalies two to three kilometers away, the Fire Ants facing them seemed insignificant.
"Li Feng."
Sikong Yu raised her eyes toward the distant scene, where countless flying ants spiraled counterclockwise like a tornado of fire, with thickness reaching nearly a kilometer, and more flying ants converging, while ground Fire Ants surged like waves towards Li Feng’s center.
This scene resembled a storm at sea, and Li Feng was a lone sail in the tempest.
Yet they couldn’t help him in the slightest because a massive swarm of Fire Ants was also starting to attack them.
"Prepare for battle."
