"Let's go in, what are we waiting for!"
Lingfeng kept urging him on.
"Fine! Let's go! It's just red imported fire ants!"
Xie Zhou gritted his teeth.
“Brother Brahma, when we go in later, we’ll stand back to back. You take care of one side and I’ll take care of the other. I’ll handle my side myself, so you don’t need to worry about me.”
Xie Zhou's eyes narrowed.
"Okay, if you can't handle it, just call me anytime."
Luo Fantian hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
Their only weapons were two wooden sticks.
Inside the pitch-black fire ant nest, nothing can be seen with the naked eye.
"Close your eyes, concentrate, and carefully sense the fluctuations in the surrounding energy."
Luo Fantian was still somewhat worried about Xie Zhou.
"Xie Zhou, you should hide behind me for now."
Luo Fantian said.
"Be careful, senior brother!"
No sooner had Luo Fantian finished speaking than Xie Zhou roared, and the next second, the sound of something being struck came from above.
"I can do it, but I can't get distracted. These guys are very smart."
The rustling sounds came from all directions.
"Xie Zhou, get ready!"
Luo Fantian knew that this was bound to be a great battle.
"good!"
Xie Zhou's tone showed no fear whatsoever.
"Left side, top, ground!"
Xie Zhou initially used both hands and feet, but as more and more red fire ants swarmed in, he gradually found himself unable to cope.
Xie Zhou felt a sharp pain in his calf, and he reached out and squeezed the painful spot hard.
Then, Xie Zhou felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as well. In just a short while, he had been hit in both his leg and shoulder.
"Hmph, how could we let you be so arrogant! That's going too far!"
Xie Zhou was annoyed by these little insects and became furious.
"I'll show you what biting me! I'll show you what biting me!"
...
It was evening.
Inside the insect nest were two people who had already fallen unconscious.
Lingfeng, however, was keeping a close eye on the two of them. Upon seeing this, he shook his head and led them out of the insect nest.
"Let's soak them in this medicine."
Lingfeng casually tossed two bottles of potion to the fairy.
"This...this is a Spirit Gathering Elixir, which can repair physical damage and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy..."
This medicine is far more potent than the previous body-tempering liquid.
"Hurry up, go if I tell you to."
Lingfeng, however, was getting a little impatient.
"yes."
The fairy then withdrew.
"Ouch...it hurts...oh my god! It hurts so much!"
Xie Zhou was woken up by the pain this time.
The moment she opened her eyes, all she could think about was how to get out of that bucket.
"Let me out! Waaaaah, it hurts so much!"
Unfortunately, this bucket only allowed Xie Zhou's head to remain above water, while his entire body was submerged.
"You shouldn't take your good fortune for granted. The medicine is being absorbed, so just be patient."
The fairy added a few more drops of emerald green liquid to the bathtub.
The next second, Xie Zhou felt countless insects tearing at her body.
"call……"
Xie Zhou gasped. After soaking in the tub for a while, the pain in his body became somewhat numb and didn't seem so painful anymore.
"When can I go out?!"
Xie Zhou shouted loudly.
But no one came to answer.
About half an hour later, the fairy finally removed the "shackles" from Xie Zhou's body.
"Let me help you get dressed."
The fairy was about to make her move.
"Alright, alright, I can do it myself. I still have hands and feet."
Xie Zhou refused outright.
"good."
My skin seems to be much smoother than before.
"Is that really my skin, so fair and smooth?"
Xie Zhou stared at her legs with some disbelief.
"Wasn't I bitten by fire ants...? How come... this... feels like a dream?"
Xie Zhou rubbed her head.
"Miss Xie Zhou, once you're dressed, please go to the Frost Palace."
The fairy outside is urging us on again.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Xie Zhou racked his brains for a long time, but all he remembered was that he was fighting red fire ants at the time, and then he knew nothing else.
I guess Lingfeng dragged him back again.
Xie Zhou sighed silently.
"Tell me, if you didn't do so many bad things normally, would you have needed to possess someone else's body? Would you have needed to exhaust your cultivation?"
Xie Zhou looked at himself in the mirror helplessly and said something.
"I might not need it, but I won't come here to cultivate immortality."
The system suddenly popped up a sentence.
"Host, we have detected that you have an unfinished task. If you fail to complete the task before midnight today, you will be punished accordingly."
Xie Zhou knew that the system popping up was never a good thing.
"What mission? I don't know anything about it. Tell me quickly!"
Xie Zhou remained speechless.
"Oh, because it was a task added at the last minute, to advance the protagonist's development."
As he spoke, the system cleared its throat.
"I must kiss Luo Fantian before midnight tonight."
"puff!"
Xie Zhou almost fell flat on his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who are you kissing?"
“Kin to Brahma.”
"What would happen if we didn't kiss?"
"Minor offenses will result in the deduction of all points, while serious offenses will result in immediate elimination."
The system continued, then added, "Oh, by the way, you just openly disobeyed the system's orders. If you fail to complete this before midnight, you will be eliminated by the system."
