Chapter Forty-Nine: The Ants That Retreat



The queen ant? Ji Yueyao looked around but found nothing except a swarm of large ants. She didn't have time to ask Mu Yanxuan, so she jumped down from the cave entrance. There were many ants around, and Ji Yueyao ran along the edge towards the group as fast as she could.

Mu Yanxuan was taken aback. He looked at the injured people in front of him and his face showed some displeasure.

Mu Yanxuan raised his hand towards Lin Xuan and the others, and with a slight concentration, the ant colony around Lin Xuan all began to rot and then disappeared completely, leaving not a single trace behind.

The ants surrounding them seemed frightened, hesitating to attack Lin Xuan and the others, and instead anxiously waving their antennae.

With Mu Yanxuan's help, Ji Yueyao easily reached Lin Xuan and the others. Seeing that the surroundings were much safer, Lin Xuan jumped down and looked at Ji Yueyao, saying wearily, "Captain, Xu Lingnan, he..."

They jumped down together after chasing Ji Yueyao, but after jumping down, they realized that they couldn't find Ji Yueyao in this dark place at all. So they had no choice but to go to a more spacious place to search. Who knew that they would be chased by these ant-like strange birds all the way until they ran to this place.

Under the attack of so many ants, Xu Lingnan ran at the back to cover them, and he was also the most seriously injured. Lin Xuan sighed as he looked at Xu Lingnan, who was covered in blood. He was almost out of bullets, and if Ji Yueyao didn't arrive in a few more minutes, he might not see them anymore.

Crouching beside Xu Lingnan, Ji Yueyao noticed that his aura was extremely weak, almost imperceptible unless one paid close attention. Silently, she took out a piece of supernatural meteorite and placed it in Xu Lingnan's hand, her grip on his hand trembling slightly.

"Captain?!" Yao Lin said in disbelief. Was she going to let Xu Lingnan absorb the supernatural meteorite?

Ordinary people will quickly return to their optimal state after absorbing the power of the meteorite. In other words, no matter how serious the injury, a person will recover as long as they absorb the power of the meteorite.

Xu Lingnan seemed to sense something and tightened his grip on the meteorite. Ji Yueyao watched him nervously, hoping that he could resonate with the meteorite.

Mu Yanxuan also walked over at this moment. Seeing Ji Yueyao looking at Xu Lingnan with concern, he suddenly felt a little annoyed. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and patted Ji Yueyao's shoulder to comfort her.

Ji Yueyao turned back and gave him a grateful look, then looked at the supernatural meteorite in Xu Lingnan's hand that had begun to emit a pale blue light, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"I can't let my partners leave me again."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lin and Lin Xuan both looked at Ji Yueyao. They knew about the friendship between Wei Kang and Ji Yueyao, and they also knew about Wei Kang's situation. At this moment, their eyes were filled with unprecedented respect.

Perhaps it's a good thing that she sees me as a partner.

"It seems a resonance has been established." Ji Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief, then took out two more supernatural meteorites and tossed them to Lin Xuan and Yao Lin. "You two should try it too. By the way, Yu Tianfang didn't jump down, did he?"

“He jumped down too.” Lin Xuan and Yao Lin exchanged a glance, Yao Lin’s brows furrowing deeply. “But we haven’t seen him yet.”

Still haven't found him? Ji Yueyao sighed inwardly, wondering where Yu Tian had gone and hoping he was alright.

At this moment, Yu Tianfang was hiding in a small room with ants and strange birds, yawning slightly. There were corpses of ants all around him. He casually picked up an ant's head and happily used it as a pillow. He wondered if Ji Yueyao and his gang were all dead. If not... that would be interesting.

"But Captain, do we also have a super-powered meteorite?" Lin Xuan looked at Ji Yueyao's worried expression and didn't know what to say. He squeezed the super-powered meteorite in his hand and said almost resolutely, "Actually, I wasn't injured much, so I don't need a super-powered meteorite."

"It's not like I gave it to you because you were injured. I was thinking of giving you the supernatural meteorite earlier..." Ji Yueyao said calmly, but before she could finish speaking, a piercing scream suddenly rang out. The flashlight in Ji Yueyao's hand fell to the ground and lost its light almost at the same moment. Darkness enveloped her. She crouched down, clutching her head. The piercing sound seemed to pierce her eardrums and tear at her brain.

At that moment, the surrounding ants launched their attack. Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth, her heart pounding so hard it almost stopped. In that instant, she suddenly seemed to clearly see the ants rushing towards her. Then, a cacophony of sounds flooded her mind. At the same moment, all the ants in front of her retreated, and darkness returned to Ji Yueyao's sight.

What just happened?

Yao Lin covered Xu Lingnan's ears, who was lying on the ground and had begun to recover, with his backpack. Then he covered his own ears, but by this time they were already turning red and showing signs of bleeding.

Mu Yanxuan's five senses were extremely sharp, and this cry was almost fatal to him. He frowned and stared at the distance, where he saw an ant queen that was more than ten times larger than the ordinary ant-like birds around her.

Amidst that piercing sound, Mu Yanxuan almost lost control of his corrosive power, because corrosion is a power that requires intense concentration to use, and now... He looked at the pained Ji Yueyao, not even noticing the swarming ants, and stared directly into the queen ant's eyes. Mu Yanxuan's gaze was sharp and dangerous. The queen ant's movements suddenly paused, and the cry in her throat abruptly stopped, like a broken stereo. Her entire body collapsed as if suppressed, and faint dents appeared on her hard shell. Her struggling movements also ceased.

Lin Xuan slowly raised his head from the ground, and only after confirming that there were no more screams did he rub his temples to wake himself up. That sound was truly terrifying! Seeing Yao Lin shaking his head as if he was about to faint, Lin Xuan quickly went forward to support him.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Yanxuan leaned weakly against the rock behind him. It seemed that his body was still not used to his second superpower. Just using it for a short while almost made his brain explode.

"Are you alright?" Ji Yueyao turned around and saw Mu Yanxuan leaning against the side. Although she couldn't see Mu Yanxuan's face in the dark, Ji Yueyao instinctively felt that he was not feeling well.

"It's alright." Mu Yanxuan reached out and pulled Ji Yueyao close, then hugged her tightly, finding her scent quite appealing.

"..." Ji Yueyao was suddenly hugged and froze. She tried to push Mu Yanxuan away, but couldn't.

Fortunately, Mu Yanxuan didn't make things too difficult for her and released her after noticing her discomfort.

"What was that making that noise just now?" Ji Yueyao stretched her shoulders and asked in a low voice. It was pitch black all around and she couldn't see anything. Helpless, Ji Yueyao could only ask Mu Yanxuan, "Did you kill it with your corrosive ability?"

Mu Yanxuan tried to stand up, and after finding that his brain had returned to normal, he said, "It was the Queen Ant. I didn't use the Corrosion ability. I can't use it when my emotions are unstable."

"Then what do you use?" Ji Yueyao was stunned. "You have another kind of superpower?"
