#581 - Chapter 579: Yan Cheng's Battle with the Dog Ant

If you run until you're exhausted every morning, your physical fitness will improve very quickly.

In other words, even if students from the Academy of Superpowers haven't graduated, their physical fitness definitely surpasses that of most humans, so outrunning them is definitely not a problem.

Of course, that only applies to humans.

“Help! You, Qi, you're not human! Save me! Save me!”

Beneath the hundred-meter-tall forest, countless ants swarmed forward like a tide, forming a black torrent that left devastation in its wake.

And at the very front of this terrifying ant swarm, Yan Cheng was running frantically, heedless of everything!

“Hurry up and pull me up, Lao Song! Where's your White Dog Cloud?!!!”

His face was full of fear, and beads of sweat as big as beans constantly formed on his forehead, soaking the automatic cleaning device in his helmet.

His breathing was as rapid as a bellows, and his legs spun like furiously rotating wheels of fire, driving him to escape from the large swarm of dog ants behind him.

However, the relentless ant swarm behind him was getting closer and closer, seemingly ready to devour him at any moment.

“You, Qi, didn't you say you'd just let me chop one ant? Why didn't you tell me it would attract so many! Pull me up quickly, I'm begging you!”

Hearing Yan Cheng's desperate cries for help, Qi Jing, sitting on White Dog Cloud overhead, shouted at him:

“Who's to blame if you don't study properly? Dog ants are the most famous alien beasts in the Geng Dimension Door. It's your own fault for being chased if you don't know that.”

“Isn't that what we learn next semester? You dog, pull me up!”

Is that so?

I learned it with the Cultivation Proxy, didn't know~

Qi Jing shouted at Yan Cheng again:

“Don't pull you up, I believe you can definitely solve these ten thousand dog ants! Go, transcend yourself, surpass your limits!”

“Damn it, I still have to rely on myself. Iron Head, come out.”

Seeing that he was about to be bitten on the butt by the dog ants, Yan Cheng unhesitatingly opened the elf capsule he was carrying and released his pet—the vigorous Honey Badger.

This honey badger was given to him by Qi Jing, and its vitality was extremely strong.

High attack, high defense, pretty good strength.

Later, because it was too reckless and wanted to bully everything it saw, Yan Cheng gave it the name “Iron Head,” short for Iron Headed Kid.

It truly lived up to this name representing a reckless person.

When it was summoned, the first thing it saw was the army of tens of thousands of dog ants attacking it.

Normally, it, which was about the same size as a dog ant, would definitely run away at the sight of this scene.

But it was different.

It waved its two sharp claws and rushed back, only attacking and not defending, allowing the dog ants to tear at it.

“Iron Head, use ‘Enlarge’!”

Yan Cheng knew that if he didn't order this guy, it wouldn't use its skills, and would just blindly attack in the dog ant swarm with its super-high defense.

Although it wouldn't have its defense broken by low-level alien beasts like dog ants, that wasn't his original intention.

“Iron Head, quickly use Taunting Roar to attract firepower, and then use Spooky Rotation for a wide-range attack!”

While ordering Iron Head to divert the dog ants' firepower, Yan Cheng also took out a pile of drawing papers from his backpack that could be used for wide-range attacks.

The first thing he tore open was a small fortress, which could only wrap around him alone in order to maximize defense.

Then he tore open the shells he used in the Sea Trial and took out a small cannon from his treasure pouch and stuffed it in.

Pong!

There was no need to aim, and random shots could hit a large group of dog ants without wasting any firepower.

Huh? Who's biting me?

Yan Cheng turned his head and found that dog ants had climbed onto his small fortress, and one head was sticking out of a hole in the back, gnawing at his helmet, while dog ants of different types were spraying corrosive liquid from their mouthparts onto the fortress.

Mom, why are there two holes in the fortress?

After Yan Cheng shot the dog ant to death with a pistol, he directly transformed into a fire element form, burning the fortress inside and out, and then poured a layer of kerosene on it and lit it again before drilling back in.

That way, he wouldn't have to worry about the dog ants stealing his home.

Fire!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Because the shells were specially made, each shot could kill a large number of dog ants, but for the tens of thousands of dog ants, it was like nothing had been lost.

As for why he didn't keep using the fire element power of the Flame-Flame Fruit?

Of course, it was because he didn't have enough source power and physical strength.

Although the fire-based ability brought by the Flame-Flame Fruit could use both source power and physical strength at the same time, Yan Cheng couldn't support burning half of the dog ants here even if he added both together.

So he could only use the props he had in stock.

But wasn't using props too extravagant?

Yan Cheng looked at the few remaining drawing papers in his treasure pouch (just now there were ten thousand) and felt a little heartache.

These were all drawn by him stroke by stroke, and it really hurt to use them like this.

It's all Qi Jing's fault, that dog thing!

Take a shot!

Thinking of this, he stretched the muzzle of the cannon out of the fortress and fired directly at Qi Jing, who was watching the fun above.

As expected, the shell wouldn't hurt him at all, and was bounced by this dog thing's soft sword into the dog ant pile.

Hmph!

Have you seen my anger?

“Lao Yan, your accuracy is not good, you almost hurt me, you have to practice more.”

“Damn it, you come down and let me show you up close whether my accuracy is good or not.”

Yan Cheng fired the cannon while thinking about a way to break the situation.

Using shells was too slow, he had to change his move, otherwise either the shells would run out, or he would starve to death first.

Looking at the large Iron Head, who rotated once every time he was covered with dog ants, he rubbed his chin and thought hard.

This was a hundred-meter giant tree forest, he couldn't hide in the water, and he couldn't fly.

Could it be that he had to draw a flying motorcycle?

But motorcycles with so many parts were too difficult to draw, and Iron Head's head would probably spin before he finished drawing.

Climb a tree?

But dog ants can also climb trees...

No, he could let the dog ants climb all over the big tree, and then burn it all at once!

This wasn't Earth, and there was no pollution crisis.

Besides, if a mountain fire really broke out, Song Jiang would definitely be able to rain in time and bring the fire down.

Let's do it.

“Iron Head, go up the tree, that tree!”

Dog ants will relentlessly chase creatures that carry pheromones released when they die.

The pheromones carried by Iron Head now were many times more than Yan Cheng's, so the main target of the dog ants had already switched to it, and they wouldn't pay too much attention to Yan Cheng until they killed it.

So, as long as he let it lure the dog ants to the tree and set a fire on the ground, he could completely wipe out a large area of dog ants!

If you consider the hundred-meter giant tree as a cylinder, its lateral area is the circumference of the bottom multiplied by the height, approximately: 100 × 10 × π.

And then divide by the upper surface area of the dog ant, approximately: 0.4 × 0.8.

It can be calculated that one tree can burn... nine thousand eight?

Damn?

One tree can kill all the dog ants?

After some not-so-rigorous calculations, Yan Cheng laughed out loud because he could protect more trees.

I am truly an environmental ambassador!
