"Crack!" Crackling sounds rang out from beneath the wooden wall. Under the desperate destruction of the ant demons below and the burning flames, within just one minute, the tree trunks forming the first row of the wooden wall began to fall one after another, along with the ant demons climbing on them. The fire subsided somewhat as a result, and the ant demons' attack was temporarily halted for a few breaths.
But soon, the ant demons began climbing again, gnawing at the trunks of the second row of trees once more. The fallen trees fueled the flames once more. The ant demons continued to climb the wooden wall, stepping over the corpses of their companions.
"Record, now have the tribesmen retreat from the first wooden wall to the second wooden wall. It's not wide enough, and it's inconvenient to continue fighting on top of it." About ten minutes later, the corpses of the ant demons, which were seven or eight meters high, had piled up at the foot of the wooden wall. Even the flames were covered up. Seven or eight rows of trees that made up the wooden wall had also collapsed. The remaining wooden wall was less than two meters wide, and the fire was about to reach the top of it. Wang Han then gave the order to the recorder.
"Retreat to the second wooden wall!" Upon hearing this, Ji immediately relayed Wang Han's order loudly.
Following the command, everyone on the first wooden wall slid down the tree trunks behind it to retreat. The women and the people operating the catapults behind the wall also dropped what they were holding and retreated. When they reached the second wooden wall, vines hung down, allowing them to climb up.
"Head Spirit, let's retreat too!" Ji quickly said to Wang Han after the people on the wooden wall began to retreat.
"You guys retreat first. The ant demon swarm is very fast; someone has to hold them off," Wang Han said, shaking his head. He began forming Taoist hand seals.
After the people on the wooden wall retreated, the ant demon swarm could climb up in less than ten breaths. There was a distance of more than two hundred meters between the two wooden walls, and the ant demon swarm was much faster than humans, so there was simply not enough time for the humans on the first wooden wall to retreat to the second wooden wall.
"Fire Spirit Technique, Blazing Flames." This time, Wang Han didn't haphazardly form hand seals and then use his supernatural power. Instead, he genuinely formed Dao seals, even employing the Dao technique of mutual seal formation. The speed of forming the seals was also very slow, ensuring that all his clansmen who saw him could clearly see his hand seals. From the moment Wang Han sensed the changing situation in the prehistoric world and changed his plan for cultivating the human race, his behavior also changed.
"Whoosh..." As Wang Han used his Debut Technique, the already blazing flames under the wooden wall suddenly became as if they had been doused with gasoline, instantly doubling in size and expanding rapidly, while the temperature of the flames also doubled in an instant.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..." In the raging fire, the ant demons sizzled and burned, and even those climbing the wooden wall were quickly cooked by the flames and fell off. Under the blazing fire, the ant demon swarm could no longer climb the wooden wall.
"Head Spirit!" The humans who witnessed Wang Han casting a spell were all stunned. No one had expected Wang Han to know magic, nor had any of them ever seen him use it.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" But the next moment, the crowd erupted in excited shouts. They even forgot to retreat.
"Stop yelling, everyone retreat!" Seeing this, Wang Han kicked Ji in the buttocks and shouted loudly to the humans on the wooden wall.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Ji shouted to the crowd after being kicked by Wang Han.
…………
After about ten minutes, everyone behind the first wooden wall retreated to the top and back of the second wooden wall.
The first wooden wall also burst into flames, forming a barrier that halted the ant demon swarm's advance. The weathered cliffs on either side also prevented the ant demons from climbing, leaving them only able to stand before the raging fire and watch the burning wooden walls.
Looking at the first wooden wall burning fiercely ahead, Wang Han instructed Ji and Qi, "The burning wooden wall should hold off these ant demons for a while. Have the people behind bring over food."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Ji and Qi immediately went to make the arrangements.

"These humans have actually managed to temporarily halt the attack of these ant demons!"
In the afterglow of the sun, amidst the clouds in the sky, the Tongtian Sect Leader, along with his four personal disciples, looked down at the humans and ant demons separated by the raging fire in the canyon below, somewhat surprised.
"Master, should we go down and help them? The three wooden walls of the human race probably won't hold them off for long. Once the fire walls disappear, the massive ant-demon swarm will soon engulf these humans." Looking at the humans and demons separated by the fire walls below, the Turtle Spirit Mother asked. She felt a pang of reluctance, but she dared not act without consulting Tongtian.
"No need." Upon hearing this, Tongtian shook his head and said, his expression becoming extremely solemn. He saw the person standing on the second wooden wall built by the human race, the one who had transcended the saints, was able to rival the Great God Pangu, and ultimately perished together with the Great God Pangu—Wang Han.
Tongtian never expected that Wang Han, who had self-destructed, was still alive and had even hidden among the weak human race at Buzhou Mountain. He had personally witnessed Wang Han's self-destruction, with fragments of the laws scattering everywhere. Even he himself had almost died from the self-destruction.
Not only Tongtian, but probably no one would have imagined that Wang Han, who witnessed his self-destruction, was still alive. Even less likely would they have imagined that, in the current chaotic state of the primordial world, the surviving Wang Han would be hiding among the weak human race, whom no one paid attention to, not even Nuwa.
"Master, these humans are no match for the ant demon swarm!" said the Turtle Spirit Mother, still feeling very reluctant.
“Ghostly disciple, you are wrong. The ant demon swarm is finished.” Tongtian shook his head without explaining why.
Tongtian knew that since Wang Han chose to use the weak human race to hide himself, he must be planning something. Since Wang Han was using the human race to hide himself and was now helping the human race fight against these ant demons, it meant that Wang Han still needed the human race to hide himself, or even needed the human race to complete some step of his plan.
In that case, Wang Han would definitely not allow the human race to perish at the hands of the ant demon swarm, and would definitely help the human race solve this problem.
Although these ant demons are numerous, they are still ants no matter how large their numbers are when facing Wang Han. The difference in quality is too great, and quantity cannot make up for the difference.
At the same time, Tongtian did not want to provoke Wang Han for no reason, nor did he want to come into contact with Wang Han, because he was someone who could easily kill a saint.
"Long time no see, Tongtian." Tongtian didn't want to see Wang Han, but Wang Han appeared before him on his own initiative, smiling and saying, "You seem a little afraid to see me. Is there some misunderstanding about me?"
"Senior is too kind! Senior is still senior!" Tongtian said with a smile as he looked at Wang Han, who had appeared out of nowhere in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that his four disciples were staring blankly, clearly trapped in some kind of illusion.
