The six members of the Jiji team:
Si Yehong is a gossipy, talkative, and imaginative captain who flirts with everyone.
Qiu Lan, a silent and expressionless vice-captain, is as cold as an ice block.
Si Yeying is an arrogant, spoiled princess.
A kind-hearted man, but a smiling tiger who is also a master of poison, a celestial being.
Grey Grey is a quirky male nanny who often cries and laughs.
A carefree, almost hyperactive older child with a childlike heart.
They are all poisonous.
Si Yehong flirts with Kulaiyi with an obsession to straighten her out.
Tongxin likes to flirt with Raymond from time to time, which scares the socially awkward Leilei so much that she crawls into the ground.
Huihui chatted with Bai Xie about everything under the sun, because Bai Xie could respond to anything with a smile.
Whenever she had free time, the celestial being would go to the crow and exchange ideas with him on making (refining) medicine (poison).
The remaining princess-like Si Yeying could chat with the performers about cosmetics until dawn.
Ice Cube Qiulan stared at the monk Lijie, scrutinizing his head, but remained silent.
The two teams have been stuck here for three whole days, each with their own major ailments.
It wasn't boring overall, and we got along surprisingly well.
Just now, Huihui and Tianxian were scouting outside with Baixie and Lingren, and now they've come in too.
Following what the entertainer said, the celestial being said, "Not only that, I discovered that saber-toothed ants can communicate through scent."
He opened his palm, and there lay a dark red ant corpse, about half the size of his palm.
The saber-toothed ant is one of the most difficult ant species to deal with.
It is dark red all over, with an extremely tough surface and a layer of glaze on its surface, which can effectively resist various elemental energies.
Its head has a huge mouth that makes up more than half of its body, and the mouth is filled with densely packed barbed teeth.
If you accidentally get bitten by one, it will definitely scrape off a chunk of flesh. Not to mention that their mouthparts are poisonous and can paralyze your nerves.
His eyes were a strange gray, and he said, laughing and crying at the same time:
"What a terrifying, terrifying giant bug! It's been nearby and hasn't left. Oh God, I'm going to die, boohoo..."
Everyone had gotten used to his wailing and muttering.
Bai Xie nodded: "That's right. The queen ant, whose cultivation level should be at the ninth rank, has been guarding the vicinity. I sensed it, and it hasn't left."
Upon hearing this, Raymond immediately turned around, his tone serious: "We can't use it anymore!"
Kulai also said seriously, "Old Bai, your injuries haven't healed yet, and you've used your mental power to probe repeatedly. This will leave you with hidden injuries."
Previously, when confronting the ant queen, Bai Xie had struggled to fight her with his mental abilities and was injured. If he were to expend his abilities to investigate now, it would likely damage his very foundation.
Bai Xie smiled and said, "It's alright, I know what I'm doing."
The actor pressed him down into his seat: "You should rest. The old injuries from the Zhu family base haven't been healed yet. If you get new injuries, it will be truly incurable."
"Ugh? Hidden injury?"
Si Yehong leaned closer and examined Bai Xie: "Brother, do you have psychic abilities? Is it damage to your core or your mental energy?"
"What's it to you?" Kulei said irritably.
Bai Xie wasn't annoyed and replied, "A little bit of both."
"Oh, I understand," Si Yehong said.
"So you took on this mission to help him find the pronucleus of the marrow-eating spider and the blood of the queen of the saber-toothed ant."
Kulei did not respond.
Si Yehong was right. The reason Goubuli accepted this mission was because they saw that the mission destination was the edge of the Northern Ruins.
Only in the Old Ruins of the Northern Boundary can one find the two alien species, the Marrow-Eating Spider and the Rake-Toothed Ant. Both of these creatures, as mentioned by Si Yehong, are excellent medicinal materials for psychic beings.
During the Northern War, Bai Xie's psychic abilities were left with incurable injuries, causing his cultivation to stagnate significantly during this period, making it hopeless for him to advance to the eighth rank in the future.
That's why they took on this mission in order to help Bai Xie heal his injuries.
However, before they even saw the marrow-eating spider, they were trapped by the saber-toothed ants. The queen of those saber-toothed ants was a huge ninth-tier creature, and even the two teams working together couldn't handle it.
Breaking through the ant colony's protection to obtain the queen's blood is extremely difficult.
This also led to a less than pleasant mood among the people at Goubuli.
Bai Xie, on the other hand, was the most easygoing. He went out every day to check on the ant colony and see if there was any hope of breaking through.
However, the result was that the saber-toothed ants not only did not give up in the slightest, but became even more determined to win.
Nightingale swatted a mosquito and exclaimed in frustration, "When will we finally get out of here?! It's so dirty, and there are so many bugs!"
Si Yehong glanced at his cousin but ignored her.
Kulei took a long stride and crushed a beetle to death, saying:
"Stop complaining. If it weren't for my musician activating the barrier that allowed us to hide here, you would already be an ugly corpse."
"Oh? Speaking of this," Tong Xin rushed over in a few steps.
"You're a performer, right? How exactly did you manage to break this barrier? Even a ninth-tier ant queen couldn't break it."
That was clearly the right question. As for the others, including everyone at Goubuli, they didn't know what had happened back then.
The performer looked at his hands and said, "I am not entirely sure myself."
We were surrounded by saber-toothed ants and forced into the core of the bone-melting pit.
Just as I was about to enter that bone-melting swamp, I stepped on a restriction.
"I subconsciously released my superpower."
"At the time, I thought I had triggered some kind of trap, but I didn't expect to be pulled in directly, so I pulled you all in as well."
Then we discovered the house we're in now.
"I don't know about the others either."
