Chapter 149 Shield (sixth update)
The area north of the Star Fruit Tree has the least people. Whether it is the east, south or west, there are more people than in the north.
Because they can enjoy the sunlight from those three directions, the star fruit tree absorbs cosmic energy. However, the largest stellar body from the fruit tree is the sun. Sunlight is also one of the cosmic energies and one of the largest sources.
The north is never exposed to sunlight, so the innate conditions are insufficient and the birth of star crystals is very difficult.
Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue walked out of the dense forest in the north. Su Mingyue asked, "Which direction are we going?"
"Let's go to the anthill in the west. Although there are more people there, we will have to come into contact with people sooner or later. Besides, I have such a strong bodyguard like Su Shengnu. If I don't dare to go in, I'm too timid."
"Maybe it was before, but after seeing you practicing last night, I think I may not be able to beat you. I may need your protection in the future." Su Mingyue said seriously.
"Mingyue, don't underestimate yourself. You are definitely strong among the generals. And haven't you noticed that after so many days of sparring, your strength has improved a lot. I can't say much about you, but you were able to handle the two high-level generals in 494 last time by yourself."
Su Mingyue also nodded seriously: "I think so too."
Looking at this girl who could not lie and did not even know how to be perfunctory, Lin Zhen laughed out loud and quickened his pace. After a few hours, the Tree Heart Lake appeared in front of him.
"Let's go west. As long as we search slowly, we will definitely find the ant nest."
Lin Zhen was having a headache at this time. He only knew that the ant nest was in the west, but he didn't know its exact location. The jungle in the west was also very large. If he searched slowly, he might not find it in half a month.
The two men came side by side to a main branch in front of the jungle, not knowing whether they should go this way.
Just at this moment, someone else suddenly came from behind.
Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue did not move. They also wanted to see who was coming. Maybe they could find the exact location by asking someone.
About seven or eight people walked over, turned around the shade of the trees, and were also surprised to see Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue.
"Su Mingyue? Lin Zhen? How did you get together?"
The person who was speaking had an afro, but at the moment it looked more like a bird's nest. He was Lin Zhen's roommate Ma Mingxing.
He followed in the middle of the team. The warrior walking in front had a handsome face. He was Jiang Huai, a warrior from the Demon City who was known as the number one warrior in the general stage.
Jiang Huai ranked third in the assessment, losing not only to Su Mingyue but also to Li Changying. However, no one doubted Jiang Huai's fighting ability. He did not lose points in battle. Whether in willpower or actual combat, he did not lose to anyone.
Even in the actual combat, Jiang Huai always gave people the feeling of being nonchalant, as if he did not try his best, making it impossible to see his true strength.
In addition to the two from Magic City, there are two from Beijing, and there are also several warriors from Tianfu Base City, including Lin Zhen’s roommate Sun Tie.
Jiang Huai was also stunned when he saw Su Mingyue and Lin Zhen together.
But he smiled immediately: "What a coincidence, I actually met the two group leaders here. I wonder if you two are interested in joining us and heading to the ant nest together."
"You want to go to the ant nest? Do you know how to get there?" Lin Zhen asked.
"Yes, one of our men went there once, but he couldn't survive there alone, so he came back to find us. We finally found these people and are ready to join forces to try. If the two of you join our team, we will have a better chance of success."
Jiang Huai's tone was very sincere, and he sincerely invited Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue to join him.
Lin Zhen glanced at Su Mingyue, and Su Mingyue gave Lin Zhen a sweet smile: "I'll listen to you."
Lin Zhen suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. Although Su Mingyue was simple, she was definitely not stupid. What did she mean by saying such things in front of everyone? Although the two had lived together for more than half a month, no one showed any abnormality. They were like two happy playmates, and everything was natural.
You know, Su Mingyue seldom smiles. Lin Zhen has only seen her smile a few times these days, let alone such a big smile.
She definitely did it on purpose! With Lin Zhen's experience, he immediately came to this conclusion, although he couldn't figure out what Su Mingyue's purpose was.
Sure enough, Su Mingyue's delicate appearance and sweet smile shocked everyone present.
Lin Zhen looked at the stunned crowd and said to Jiang Huai, "Okay, we'll go with you. You guys go ahead."
Jiang Huai said "oh" and forgot to express his happiness. He stood up and walked in front.
The remaining warriors walked in a line, all moving forward along the huge branch.
When Ma Mingxing passed by Lin Zhen, he quietly gave her a thumbs up: "Lin Zhen, I finally understand why that fat guy Zhang Yue calls you an idol. It turns out that you are not only good at kung fu, but also amazing in other aspects. From now on, you are also my idol."
Before Lin Zhen could reply, Ma Mingxing walked over.
The warriors behind also walked over, and Lin Zhen and the other two followed behind, still able to hear their conversation.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? Su Mingyue just smiled, and she smiled so beautifully. I am from Beijing Base City and this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful smile. She is indeed my goddess."
"Okay, kid, save your temper. He's not smiling at you, why are you showing off?"
"Yes, what is the relationship between Su Mingyue and Lin Zhen? Look at her following Lin Zhen closely, as if she is afraid that Lin Zhen will run away. Could it be that Lin Zhen did something beastly and doesn't want to take responsibility?"
"You are stupid, right? Who wouldn't be willing to take responsibility for whoever Su Mingyue follows? Unless he is no longer a man, they are just lovers."
"It's over, it's over. My goddess is getting married. Lin Zhen is so lucky. I want to challenge him to a duel."
"Fuck it! If you dare to touch Lin Zhen now, I bet Saint Su will kill you first."
"I think so too. Go ahead. Even if you die under the peony flowers, being a ghost is also romantic. You can let Saint Su kill you personally, so your life is not in vain. I will come here to see your spirit in heaven on this day next year."
"Get lost, is this what you mean by dying under the peony flowers? Besides, I didn't say anything, it's just that she smiled too beautifully. Don't tell me you guys don't want to watch, I won't believe it even if you kill me."
Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue walked behind, the buzzing discussions were still heard. Lin Zhen glanced at Su Mingyue, her pretty face was calm, as if they were not talking about her at all.
Lin Zhen smiled bitterly: "Why do you do this?"
Su Mingyue replied, "I don't like people always surrounding me. This way, even if someone wants to harass me, they will have to get past you first. From now on, you will stand in front of me and I will hide behind you. Remember, don't find me annoying."
"Okay, you are the only one in the world who can be so confident in using others as a shield."
"Because I believe you." Su Mingyue replied lightly, not joking.
Lin Zhen was slightly stunned, and then he didn't say anything. He took two quick steps and walked to the front of the team with Su Mingyue. He was not used to following behind like this.
Jiang Huai saw Lin Zhen coming over and smiled: "Brother Lin is so lucky."
Without waiting for Lin Zhen to answer, he changed the subject and called out to Ma Mingxing: "Ma Mingxing, you have been to the ant nest, right? Come and introduce the situation there to Brother Lin and Miss Su. Let's all listen to it so that we can be prepared."
Ma Mingxing walked to the front and said to Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue as he walked, "I did go to the ant nest once. I got separated from everyone at that time, but I ended up finding such a place. I told them about it, and I'm telling you again."
"The ant nest is a huge dead branch area with many dry branches and leaves. It is not as clean as other places. It is also windy. Over time, dust accumulates like a hill, and it becomes a paradise for ants."
"Then there must be a lot of ants." Lin Zhen interjected.
"Yes, I believe that everyone who comes here has seen many insects, but you have definitely not seen a large group of mutant ants. That scene was so densely packed. How should I describe it?"
Ma Mingxing thought for a while and said two words: "Shocking!"
"Yes, it's shocking. There are three main types of ants in there. One is the largest number of worker ants. Each one is as big as a tiger in the Gregorian calendar. There is no way to count the number of these things. They collect food and carry things. Their combat power is not very strong, but their number is too huge."
"In addition to worker ants, there are also very powerful soldier ants, which are four or five times larger than worker ants. There are also a lot of them. Although they don't seem to be many at ordinary times, once someone dares to invade the ant nest, you will see countless soldier ants appear. These things are very powerful. Although they are not as strong as other insects individually, no one can resist them when they rush forward. I have personally seen a level nine warrior being instantly devoured by hundreds of soldier ants and turned into a skeleton."
"So what about soldier ants and worker ants?" Su Mingyue asked from the side.
Hearing the beautiful woman's question, Ma Mingxing suddenly perked up: "In addition to worker ants and soldier ants, there is another kind of flying ants. These ants have wings and usually lurk in the leaves above the ant nest and in the dead branches around it. If a flying insect or a spiritualist tries to get close, they will definitely die miserably."
"With so many ants, you dare to go there?"
"Of course we have to go there, because few people can get close to it. Over the years, a lot of star crystals have accumulated there, and those in the star core stage are almost unseen. The lowest are meteors and comets, and there are even planets and stars. Of course, there are those who are not afraid of death who go there."
Ma Mingxing paused and said, "Once we get to the anthill, we will not only have to fight ants, but also people. That's why so many of us are going together, because that's the battlefield!"
Today I will update the fourth chapter for the author of this book, (凉薄心如海). Thank you for the reward.
