"No way, man, are you really an ant? You're fucking alive?!"
At this moment, Lao Dao saw that the ant had woken up. He went over and patted the ant's face to confirm that it was indeed an ant. There was a hint of joy in his eyes.
After all, Ant had followed Lao Dao before, so there was some affection between them.
"Ah, Brother Dao, you're not dead either!"
When the ant saw Old Knife, it greeted him in a weak voice.
I know the ants are at their last gasp; if it weren't for Old Knife's blood, they would be dead by now.
Old Dao's face showed joy, blame, and doubt.
"Damn it, how can you talk like that? With Brother Chen around, how could I possibly die? Alright, silly boy, get up quickly. Brother Chen is really powerful now!"
Old Dao stretched out a hand and then pulled the ant up.
Upon hearing the snapping sound, I felt as if the ant's body was about to dislocate.
"Damn it, Brother Chen, I didn't do this!"
Old Dao said embarrassedly, and seeing this, I shook my head helplessly.
I could only go over and help it up. I placed my hand on the ant's wrist and began to examine its body.
The ant's body is in much better condition than before, but it seems to have been eroded by something inside, leaving it almost empty.
"Eat something and drink some water first! Speak slowly, no rush!"
I took out some dry food and a water bottle from my backpack and handed them to the ant. The ant took them, said thank you, and began to eat.
Old Dao and I exchanged a glance. The way the ants were eating really didn't seem like they were faking it.
"Brother Chen, I'm so sorry, I haven't eaten all day and I'm starving. The last meal I had was yesterday when you treated me!"
The ants ate while marveling at their food.
I frowned when I heard this.
Because the timing doesn't match.
When I first saw the ants, I did feed them, but the problem is that they disappeared afterwards, and at least a week passed.
Then, the ant told me that it hadn't eaten all day, and the last time it ate was when I treated it.
"Ant, are you sure I treated you to dinner yesterday?"
I stared at the ants and asked them a question; this was very important to me.
Ant nodded earnestly: "Brother Chen, you forgot? You came to the mahjong parlor yesterday to find me, and then we found Brother Dao together, you forgot that?"
What the ant said completely baffled me.
Does this mean that time is different in the two worlds?
I've been here for a week, but the ants have only been here for a day?
"Wait, Ant, you just said you haven't eaten all day. It's dark and foggy here. How are you sure it's been a whole day?"
Old Dao was vigilant and immediately spotted the vulnerability.
I nodded and gave Lao Dao an approving look.
Indeed, the fog here is so thick that you basically lose track of time.
"Nonsense, Brother Dao, even if I can't sense it myself, I still have my watch! Look, I'm wearing a watch! My phone may be out of battery, but my watch won't!"
After eating something, the ant looked much better and started arguing with Old Knife.
I looked at the watch on the ant's wrist, but I don't remember seeing it before.
I shook my head, feeling my memory was in disarray, as if I couldn't remember many things.
"Brother Chen, I remember it was a whole day and night, and I didn't eat anything. I'm so glad you guys came!"
The ant looked mournful, as if it had just survived a disaster.
"Brother Chen, these ants don't seem to be lying. If they had been here for a week, they would have starved to death long ago!"
Old Dao leaned close to my ear and whispered something to me.
I nodded. I was more inclined to believe the ant's explanation. The ant did indeed look like it hadn't eaten for a day. If it hadn't eaten for seven days, it would have been dead long ago.
So, if we rule out the possibility that the ant is lying, then I can only think of two possibilities.
First, the flow of time is different in Shenwu County, which is why Lao Dao and I have had no cell phone signal ever since we came here by train.
Since they are in different dimensions and time periods, there is naturally no signal.
The second possibility is that there is a problem with the place itself, and the flow of time is different in this cemetery.
In other words, the ants came to this place to find us, but they were trapped inside for a day, while seven days had passed in the outside world.
I briefly recounted my previous experiences to the ant. After listening, the ant's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Brother Chen, Brother Dao, you two have been through so much? And that Xu Feng is actually an immortal?"
After hearing the story I told Lao Dao, Ant was completely stunned. Of course, I ruled out Luo Tianhe's involvement.
After all, Lao Dao was Lao Luo's confidant, while Ant was not.
"Yeah! I didn't expect it to be like this either. This guy has almost killed me and Lao Dao several times. We're looking for him now!"
I nodded, and then went on to recount recent events, while also reconfirming the ant's identity.
Because we've seen far too many fake people in Shenwu County.
However, what is fake will always be fake, and there are some things about real people that those who are fake will never know.
After Lao Dao verified it, he told me that it was indeed an ant, so I took the ant with me and prepared to set off.
My entire focus right now is on the Daoist aura emanating from the ant.
"Hey, what use is that aura of the Great Dao?"
I communicated with the Thunder Strike Sword with my heart, and the Thunder Strike Sword told me that the aura of the Great Dao can greatly enhance my power. In addition, it also has a certain nourishing effect on weapon spirits like them.
"Weapon spirit?"
This is the first time I've heard this term. I guess it refers to something like the spirit of the Thunderstrike Sword.
I'm a little tempted; it could greatly enhance my strength.
My strength is still somewhat weak. The repeated setbacks I've suffered here have made me realize my own inadequacy.
If you want revenge, this rudimentary skill is definitely not enough.
We must continue to improve, and this aura of the Great Dao has just come to our doorstep.
"However, Master, the current aura of the Great Dao is far from sufficient. It needs constant nourishment. Only when it reaches a certain level can it be extracted!"
Of course, there's another problem: the aura of the Great Dao can only be extracted once. After that, this body will never generate the aura of the Great Dao again!
Lei Jijian continued to communicate with me.
"Then, will I die after the extraction is complete?"
