Within moments, all the ant demons charging at the front, including the soldier ants, were shot dead. Behind the ant demon swarm, the giant ant demon commanding the swarm's battle clashed its two antennae together again, and invisible electromagnetic waves spread out once more, sweeping past each and every ant demon. Such casualties and effects were unbearable even for a celestial-level ant demon in command.
Upon receiving the radio waves, the ant demon quickly began to retreat, only stopping when it was a kilometer away from the wooden wall.
"Buzz buzz buzz..." The buzzing sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings rang out in the canyon. Deep in the canyon, countless ant demons with a pair of thin wings flew towards the wooden wall like a black cloud.
"Ground attacks won't work, let's switch to an aerial attack!" Wang Han sneered as he watched the swarm of flying ant demons descend from the sky. He took out his black bow and arrows, drawing and releasing them in one fluid motion.
Although these flying ants had thinner carapaces than ordinary ant demons, unfortunately, the wooden arrows used by humans for hunting (without arrowheads, just sharpened) were simply not enough to pierce their carapaces. The reason for this was Wang Han's lingering concerns about human desires, so Wang Han still had to take direct action.
"Whoosh...!" With the bow fully drawn, Wang Han released his fingers, and the black arrow shot out instantly.
"Multiply!" Wang Han's gaze slowly shifted as he watched the rapidly shooting black arrows. Under Wang Han's gaze, the black arrows multiplied by millions in the blink of an eye, covering the approaching black clouds like a black rainstorm.
"Puff puff puff...!"
Two or three seconds later, the black arrow flew hundreds of meters away, whistling as it collided with the flying ants, creating a sound like a torrential downpour.
......
A rain of black corpses fell from the sky. The heads and abdomens of these black ants were riddled with arrows blacker than their carapaces, each arrow penetrating halfway into their bodies. Even the dead and falling corpses were not spared, as the arrows continued to shoot at them.
Two or three breaths later, when the last arrow pierced the fallen flying ant's corpse, the black cloud formed by the flying ants had been reduced by more than half.
When the last dead flying ant fell to the ground, the ground was covered with a pile of ant demon corpses five or six meters high.
"Head Spirit! Head Spirit! Head Spirit!..." Seeing Wang Han shoot down half of the ant demon swarm flying in from the sky with just one arrow, the humans shouted loudly again, extremely excited. Everyone felt that the Head Spirit's magic was incredibly powerful, as if they themselves could use it.
After the rain of arrows, less than half of the flying ant demons in the sky began to retreat.
Deep within the canyon, among the ant demon swarm, the antennae on the heads of the Celestial-level ant demons collided incessantly, and invisible electromagnetic waves rapidly transmitted new commands. Wang Han's arrow had inflicted heavy casualties on the already small number of special ant demons, killing more than half of them. Even with the vast number of ant demons, the Celestial-level ant demons could not withstand such losses.
Following the new radio signal, and with the ant demons in front providing cover, the ant demons behind began frantically digging into the mountainside. The rocks and soil they dug out were then carried away by the ant demons further back.
However, the radio waves that commanded the ant demons did not end there. The antennae on the heads of the celestial-level ant demons continued to collide, conveying new commands.
"Whoosh." Before the radio wave could finish transmitting, a black arrow pierced through the head of the celestial-level ant demon like a black light, leaving a hole the size of a bowl on its head and penetrating its entire body.
"Hmph!" After firing an arrow from the third wooden wall, Wang Han snorted coldly and lowered his hand from the bow. He could also sense the message from the radio waves controlling the ant demons: these ant demons were still planning to dig up from underground again, and he had already revealed enough; he couldn't give them any more chances to show off.
With the death of the Celestial-level ant demon, the ant demon swarm temporarily lost its leader. Apart from those ant demons digging into the mountainside who were still working hard, most of the ant demons did not know what to do next and could only communicate with each other by colliding their antennae. Even the mountainside they were digging into had deviated from its direction.
After a moment, the ant swarm began to retreat like a tide, and the ants that had been digging the burrow also withdrew, retreating into the depths of the canyon. In the far distance, invisible to the naked eye deep within the canyon, the antennae of an even larger ant swarm were colliding, emitting electromagnetic waves to command the retreat of its swarm. This was also a celestial-level ant swarm, but unfortunately, it was still not the queen.

"We won!"
"We've driven off the monster horde!"
"Head spirit, head spirit, head spirit!..."
On the third wooden wall, the humans standing there, seeing the ant demons begin to retreat, erupted in celebration. The celebration eventually transformed into a unified shout.
“The ant demons are just retreating; they will come back again.” On the wooden wall, Wang Han looked at the cheering humans and instructed Ji and Qi: “Ji, go and tell the people to start cooking. Qi, after the fire stops, take the men to clean up the battlefield and collect all the ant demon corpses, spears, and arrows. I have a great use for them.”
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Ji and Qi quickly responded and hurriedly climbed down the wooden wall.
"Fellow tribesmen, please be quiet and listen to me." After instructing his tribesmen to arrange cooking and cleaning up the battlefield, Wang Han stood on the wooden wall and spoke loudly to the remaining tribesmen.
As Wang Han shouted, the cheers immediately quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to him. Even those who were far away and could not see Wang Han were all focused on this place.
Seeing everyone staring at him and quietly waiting for him to speak, Wang Han stood on the wall and said loudly, "Fellow tribesmen, the war is not over. These ant demons have only retreated temporarily. Soon they will come back with a vengeance. When they come back, their offensive will be even more ferocious, and their numbers will be even greater."
"To deal with the ant demons' return, today I will teach you new words and phrases: rope and armor. Today I will also teach you how to make ropes and armor, and how to cooperate in battle. Ropes are stronger and easier to use than vines, and armor can better protect you. Those who learn, go and teach others how to make ropes and armor immediately."
"God spirit! God spirit! God spirit!" As Wang Han finished speaking, a deafening cheer erupted once again at the mouth of the canyon.

"Master, the one who leads the human race is not human! I've never heard of such a person in the primordial world. Does Master know who he is?" In the clouds above, Duobao looked at Wang Han, who was standing on the wall and speaking, and asked Tongtian curiously, "The supernatural power he just used was very powerful. What kind of supernatural power was it?"
"Don't meddle, don't ask too many questions, don't try to find out his identity, and don't tell anyone. Remember, if you encounter him in the future, never offend him. The bow and arrow in his hand is the divine bow that the great witch Yi of the Wu tribe once used to shoot down nine suns." Upon hearing this, Tongtian shook his head and warned Duobao Daoist.
"Yes, Master, I understand." Upon hearing this, Duobao said solemnly, firmly remembering Tongtian's words.
