Chapter 1965: Fire-eyed Flying Ant
Mr. Liu said in a deep voice:
"A few of our men responsible for the outer perimeter alert were attacked by some suddenly appearing Flying Ants."
"Fortunately, it’s only a small portion."
"We are dealing with it."
Upon hearing this, Que’er immediately became nervous.
"Flying Ants?"
"Did these terrifying creatures really appear?"
Mr. Liu quickly reassured:
"Miss, no need to panic, it’s only a small portion."
"Our people can handle it."
"It just takes a bit of time."
As Mr. Liu was speaking, suddenly, a subordinate rushed in urgently.
"Mr. Liu, something bad has happened."
Seeing his subordinate so panicked, Mr. Liu’s face sank.
"What’s wrong?"
The subordinate quickly said:
"Mr. Liu, among the Flying Ants, we discovered Fire-eyed Flying Ants."
"What???"
"Fire-eyed Flying Ants???"
"Are you sure you saw clearly???"
Mr. Liu’s face also instantly became tense.
Even Que’er showed a pale expression on her pretty face, full of worry in her eyes.
The subordinate said with fear:
"We saw clearly, just now two brothers were directly devoured by those Fire-eyed Flying Ants."
"Mr. Liu, what do we do now?"
Mr. Liu said in a deep voice:
"Don’t panic, I’ll go out and have a look."
After speaking, he looked towards Miss Que’er.
"Miss, you don’t need to worry, at the very least, Master Niu is here."
"These mere Fire-eyed Flying Ants pose no threat."
After speaking, Mr. Liu hurriedly left with his subordinates.
Zhou Yu asked in confusion:
"Miss Que’er, what are Fire-eyed Flying Ants?"
Que’er replied nervously:
"Fire-eyed Flying Ants are the leaders of these Flying Ants."
"Under normal circumstances, these Flying Ants cannot gather on a large scale."
"Once they gather on a large scale, it means a leader has emerged among them."
"Fire-eyed Flying Ants are the leaders."
"If there are only a few of these Fire-eyed Flying Ants, it’s manageable."
"If dozens or hundreds appear, it would inevitably trigger a desert black storm."
"At that time, even Master Niu would face a life-threatening situation."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully.
And in just these brief moments, the noise outside had become increasingly loud.
Que’er paced nervously inside the room, her heart filled with fear and some curiosity.
She frequently looked towards the window.
But outside was pitch black, nothing could be seen.
After pacing for a moment, Que’er suddenly seemed to make up her mind, cautiously walking towards the door.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment and did not dissuade.
Because he was actually quite curious too.
After recovering for a while just now, the medicinal power in his body had fully dispersed.
Although his meridians were far from healed, he at least had some mobility.
Zhou Yu struggled to get up, and followed behind Que’er, heading towards the door.
Upon reaching the door, Zhou Yu looked outside, only to discover.
He was now on a huge carriage.
Of course, what pulled the carriage was not a horse, but a large creature resembling a rhinoceros.
Then, Zhou Yu looked into the distance.
Though his body and cultivation were damaged, his eyesight was not severely affected.
Even in the pitch-black night, he could see at least a thousand meters away.
He immediately saw more than thirty mercenary group members at the front of the team wielding various weapons shimmering with Spiritual Light, struggling to hack away.
And what they faced were dozens of hovering ants.
Each of these ants was as big as a grown man’s fist.
The weapons clashed on their bodies, making metallic clashing sounds.
Sometimes, several strikes were needed to kill a single Flying Ant.
And among this group of Flying Ants, a pair of fiery red eyes would occasionally appear.
Those were their eyes.
No wonder they’re called Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
Whenever those fiery red colors flashed by, a mercenary group member would let out a scream, and then their body would be dragged away, disappearing into the darkness.
In just over ten seconds, Zhou Yu witnessed three mercenary group members being dragged away.
Zhou Yu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.
He had already seen clearly that behind the group of Flying Ants, there were at least two Fire-eyed Flying Ants.
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly sensed something, he turned his head and saw another luxurious carriage not far from their carriage.
And at this moment, a middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage.
This man was the cultivator with the surname Niu.
The cultivator Niu looked into the distance, sneered, and then returned to the carriage.
In his eyes, he showed disdain for those mercenary group members who died tragically.
As if the dead weren’t living people, but some sort of beast.
And as he returned to the carriage, he suddenly paused and looked towards Zhou Yu’s direction.
Their gazes momentarily met.
The elder with the surname Niu sneered again, then walked straight back.
Zhou Yu’s expression remained calm, uncertain about what he was thinking.
And at this moment, a sudden scream was heard.
"Miss, watch out!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu abruptly raised his head, and in an instant, he saw a pair of fiery red eyes attacking the carriage where he was.
It was indeed a Fire-eyed Flying Ant.
Just now, it was too far, and Zhou Yu could only vaguely see the general shape of the Fire-eyed Flying Ant.
At this moment, when it appeared so suddenly, it was less than ten meters from the carriage.
At such close range, Zhou Yu could clearly see every detail on the Fire-eyed Flying Ant’s body.
At first, Zhou Yu was stunned by those fiery eyes of the Fire-eyed Flying Ant.
What shocked Zhou Yu was not how powerful this Fire-eyed Flying Ant was.
But rather that a certain cunning look was revealed in those fiery eyes.
This Fire-eyed Flying Ant actually possessed Spiritual Wisdom!
It seemed to be directly targeting Que’er.
Could it be that the group of Flying Ants in front of them was just a distraction for the mercenary corps?
If that’s the case, then this Fire-eyed Flying Ant is truly terrifying!
These thoughts flashed through Zhou Yu’s mind.
Then, in just a brief moment, the Fire-eyed Flying Ant was already upon Que’er.
In a split second, Zhou Yu exerted his full force to grab Que’er’s shoulder and pulled her back forcefully.
Then, he stepped forward to shield Que’er.
Now, having lost his True Yuan and unable to use Blood Qi, the only thing he could think of was to block with his body.
At the moment Zhou Yu dashed forward.
Boom!
The Fire-eyed Flying Ant crashed directly into his chest.
Zhou Yu only felt a huge impact, along with intense heat.
Zhou Yu’s figure was uncontrollably thrown backward.
In mid-air, he heard an angry shout.
"Wretched beast!"
"Impudent!"
As the voice echoed, a sword light flashed past...
