“Boom boom boom…”
In the sky, the Vine God and the Red Ant God were still fighting. Every collision made a thunderous sound, and the blooming divine light dyed the sky red and green.
However, the more the fight went on, the calmer the Vine God became, while the Red Ant God became more and more violent, even to the point of being extremely angry.
Because there were not only the vine god and the red ant god present, but also the turtle god, the monkey god, the rat god, the bamboo rat god, etc.
With the participation of these totem gods, no matter how many red giant ants there are or how strong their fighting power is, they cannot be stopped.
If they continue fighting like this, no matter who wins or loses, the ant nest will be completely finished.
The Red Ant God gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Teng, I admit defeat. I will give this territory to you. I will take the ant nest to survive somewhere else."
Shen Teng said calmly: "I don't like leaving hidden dangers for myself."
The Red Ant God did not expect that the God Vine would refuse to surrender. He shouted angrily, "Do you really want to fight to the point of mutual destruction? There is more than one big tribe in the Southern Wilderness!"
Shen Teng sneered, "Both sides will suffer? No, I told you, you don't deserve it!"
Shen Teng's words completely angered the Red Ant God.
It roared angrily: "Then try it!"
"boom!"
All the divine power in the Red Ant God's body exploded, and his already huge body continued to grow. A layer of terrible poisonous fog appeared all over his body, and any vines that came into contact with the poisonous fog quickly withered.
This time, the Red Ant God was really going to fight to the death! However, the Vine God remained very calm and didn't even say anything more.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
The vines grew at an extremely fast speed, like giant green dragons, constantly wandering and interweaving in the sky, eventually forming a huge vine cage that forcefully trapped the Red Ant God inside.
What's even more terrifying is that when the vine net was formed, each vine was covered with a layer of golden luster, as if it was made of gold. It was extremely strong and even the poisonous fog of the Red Ant God could not corrode it.
“Dangdangdang…”
The Red Ant God struggled continuously in the vine net, however, it was horrified to find that it could not break free from the cage, and the more it struggled, the tighter it became.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
The Red Ant God spat out large amounts of venom, trying to corrode a hole in the vine cage.
The venom was indeed powerful, even the golden vines were corroded and became dull and even withered.
Just when the Red Ant God thought he could escape, suddenly, a sharp voice came from a distance: "Shen Teng, I'm here to help you!"
A gigantic spider suddenly appeared, its body covered with black and red lines and filled with black poisonous mist. In just a few breaths, it flew from a distance to the sky above the battlefield.
The totem god of the Spider Tribe has arrived! "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
After the Spider God arrived, a bunch of snow-white spider silk sprayed out from its tail, stuck to the vine cage, and then quickly circled around the vine cage, adding a layer of spider silk cocoon on the vine cage in the blink of an eye.
"Spider, don't you dare!"
The Red Ant God was completely panicked.
The terrifying power of the divine vine was far beyond its expectations. If a spider god was added to it at this time, it would really die! The spider god said sharply, "I have disliked you for a long time. How dare an ant run rampant in the central region? Humph, you will definitely die today!"
“Boom boom boom!”
The Red Ant God didn't bother to speak and madly hit the vine cage and spider cocoon.
But it is doomed to be in vain.
Just now it couldn't break through the layer of vine cage, let alone the added layer of spider cocoon which is tougher and not afraid of venom.
However, as the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.
At this moment, another nightmarish voice came from the upper reaches of the South River: "Shen Teng, I'm here to help you too!"
“Clatter…”
A huge crocodile came riding the waves from the upper reaches of the Nan River. It arrived at the battlefield in the blink of an eye, flew to the side of the divine vine, and stared at the trapped Red Ant God with a fierce look.
The appearance of the Spider God and the Crocodile God made the Vine Tribe coalition very excited. They were finally sure that they could win this war, and everyone fought desperately.
However, in the sky, Shen Teng's expression was as indifferent as ever, and he did not even express his gratitude to the Spider God and the Crocodile God for their help.
Because it knew very well that these two guys had been observing from afar early in the morning. If they were not sure that it could win, they probably wouldn't show up at all.
The reason I'm here now is just to get some benefits and do you a favor.
Although Shen Teng remained indifferent, the other protagonist on the battlefield, the Red Ant God, was completely in despair.
If it had some hope before that it could escape if it tried its best, now even that hope is gone.
It began to realize that it would really die today! Fear, anger, despair...
All kinds of emotions intertwined in the Red Ant God's heart, and finally erupted like a volcano.
"Since you want me dead so much, then don't live anymore!"
The Red Ant God let out an earth-shaking roar, and then a large amount of flames suddenly burst out of its body.
At first, these flames were just small flames, but gradually, they turned into blazing flames that burned the void and distorted it.
“Crackle, crackle…”
The vine cage quickly burned a big hole, and the outer layer of spider silk was also ignited, burning fiercely in the sky.
"Burning the soul, you are crazy!"
The Spider God screamed, decisively cut the spider silk, and then quickly retreated several thousand meters.
The Crocodile God also retreated quickly as if avoiding a snake or scorpion, and did not dare to be contaminated by this kind of fire.
Even the vine god gave up on the burning vines and retreated slightly.
This was because the Red Ant God was burning with the most terrifying fire of the soul. Once one was contaminated by it, one would be like a maggot on the tarsal bone, unable to be shaken off.
However, once the fire of the soul is ignited, it cannot be extinguished. If one fails to drag the enemy down with him before the soul burns out, he will be burned to death in vain.
This was a truly fatal blow.
The Red Ant God, bathed in flames, shouted angrily: "I am crazy, I am crazy. Since you all want to kill me, then die with me!"
"hiss!"
The Red Ant God let out an extremely sharp scream towards the sky.
In an instant, all the red giant ants on the ground rioted. Two flames appeared in their eyes, and their attacks were more than ten times more violent than before.
Afterwards, the Red Ant God rushed towards the Vine God, Crocodile God and Spider God frantically, wanting to drag them to be buried with him.
Faced with this crazed lunatic, the Crocodile God and the Spider God avoided him as if he were a snake or scorpion. They just used magic to attack him from a distance and did not dare to let it get close to them.
Even the divine vine is very careful. Once any vine is ignited, it will decisively give up and not allow the divine soul fire to invade the main body with the help of the ignited vine.
In the sky, the fierce battle turned into a death game of chase.
On the ground, those mad red giant ants also made the Vine Tribe coalition forces feel quite difficult. Even the most powerful Vine Tribe was caught in a tough battle.
On the battlefield, the most difficult and dangerous situation is the ant tribe without totemic power.
After the ant nest collapsed, the turtle god of the mountain turtle tribe moved away the huge turtle shell, which was the remains of the old turtle god.
After the turtle shell was moved away, the situation deep inside the ant nest was also exposed.
In the depths of the ant nest, in addition to a large number of red ant larvae and food, there were also piles of human bones.
When the warriors of the Ant Tribe saw these skeletons with their own eyes, almost everyone went crazy, because these were clearly the remains of their ancestors and relatives.
What was even more unacceptable to them was that most of these skeletons were bitten to pieces, obviously having been gnawed by red giant ants or young ants.
This also confirms that the corpses of the former red ant tribe members were required to be sent into the ant nest so that they were indeed used as food.
After seeing these remains, the warriors of the Ant Tribe lost their minds.
Led by their leader Guli, they fought all the way and finally made their way into the depths of the ant nest.
However, they did not have the power of totem after all. After they rushed in, they were faced with the suddenly crazy red giant ants and could not get out.
"Everyone follow me closely, I will lead you out!"
Guli was very regretful. As a leader, he should not have lost his mind and led the warriors without totemic power deep into the ant nest.
But now the situation has come to this, all he can do is try his best to get the person out.
"hiss……"
A mad red giant ant rushed towards Guli, the fire in its eyes was dazzling and its speed was astonishingly fast.
"die!"
Gu Li suddenly thrust out a spear, which went into the chest of the red giant ant and came out from its back.
However, what he didn't expect was that the red giant ant seemed to have no sense of pain at all. After being pierced, it still rushed forward and bit Gu Li's arm hard, almost biting it off.
"ah……"
Guli screamed and lost his grip on the spear, and was knocked down by the giant red ant.
"leader!"
The warriors of the ant tribe rushed forward, stabbed the giant red ant to pieces with their spears, and helped Guli up.
"Don't worry about me, keep charging and fight your way out to join the people from the Teng Tribe!"
Guli struggled to stand up, picked up a spear with his left hand, and continued to fight the giant red ants.
However, the number of red giant ants was too large, and they all charged forward recklessly, so the people of the ant tribe could not stop them at all.
"babble!"
At this moment, the purple eagle glutinous rice balls in the sky swooped down and knocked down a group of red giant ants in front of the ant tribe. Its huge claws instantly exploded more than a dozen red giant ants.
"It's Chief Xuan's mount. It's here to help us..."
Qie Ye pointed at Tang Yuan excitedly and shouted, and the other ant tribe warriors also became excited.
They fought hard under the cover of the purple eagle, with only one thought in their minds, and that was to fight their way out.
However, the number of red giant ants was too large. Even with the help of the purple eagle, the warriors of the ant tribe still suffered countless casualties, and each of them had injuries of varying degrees.
Especially Guli. After his right arm was bitten by the red giant ant, he could only fight with his left hand. By the time they finally broke out of the siege and joined up with the Teng tribe, Guli was already covered in wounds.
"boom!"
In the sky, the three totem gods joined forces to attack, knocking the red ant god with a burning soul down from the sky. He smashed heavily on the ground, creating a big hole in the ground.
The Red Ant God let out a desperate scream, and the soul fire burning in his body gradually became less strong than before.
Qie Ye, who had just broken out of the encirclement, said excitedly: "Dad, did you see that? The Red Ant God is almost killed!"
“Look… I see…”
Guli held the spear in one hand, glanced at the fallen Red Ant God, and then his gaze stayed on Qie Ye, reluctant to leave.
On the battlefield, the three totem gods pursued the victory and finally defeated the red ant god with burning soul.
"hiss……"
The Red Ant God let out a final wail, and the burning soul fire gradually died out, leaving only a charred and broken body.
After the death of the Red Ant God, those crazy red giant ants seemed to have suddenly lost their souls. The fire in their eyes disappeared. They stood there blankly for a moment, and then began to flee in all directions frantically.
"Dad, the Red Ant God is dead! We won! We won!"
Qie Ye jumped up excitedly, and all the warriors of the Ant Tribe cheered loudly.
However, when Qie Ye turned around, he suddenly found that Gu Li had fallen to the ground without him knowing when.
“Dad, Dad…”
Qie Ye's heart trembled. He immediately threw away the spear in his hand, squatted down, picked up his father, and ran to the river like crazy.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly."
At this moment, Qie Ye was extremely frightened because he had a hunch that his father might leave him forever.
At this time, the warriors of the Ant Tribe also reacted.
They followed Qie Ye to the river, pushing away obstacles along the way for him.
When they finally ran to the river, their strength was almost gone.
"Witch of the Teng tribe, please save my father! Please save my father!"
Qie Ye knelt in front of Chishao and cried bitterly.
Chishao hurriedly handed over the work in his hands to other witch doctors, and then immediately began to treat Guli.
However, a moment later, Chishao said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Qieye, his blood is almost drained out, and he has been poisoned by a large amount of ants. I...can't save him."
"No, I beg you, save him, save him..."
Qie Ye kept begging, but Chi Shao just shook her head because she couldn't save a person whose vitality had been exhausted.
Chishao gave Guli some medicine to enhance his vitality, and then said to Qie Ye: "This is all I can do. You...say goodbye to your father."
Afterwards, Chishao turned around to treat other people.
She had seen too many similar things on the battlefield, and she was powerless to save those who could not be saved.
Qie Ye looked at Chishao's back and finally accepted the reality in despair.
He hugged Gu Li, crying and trembling as he kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dad, please don't die, I will never make you angry again."
After drinking the medicine, Gu Li entered the stage of last breath. He looked more energetic and had a little more strength to speak.
Gu Li shook his head slowly and looked at his son tenderly: "No, Qie Ye, I have never really been angry with you. Sometimes, I even envy you because you are always free."
"But I'm afraid you won't be as free as before because I'm going to meet the ancestors. The future of the Ant Tribe is in your hands."
Qie Ye held her father's hand tightly, her tears flowing like a broken dam that could not be stopped.
He choked and asked:
"Father, I'm always so unreliable and have never done anything to make you proud. Why do you still trust me?"
The light in Gu Li's eyes gradually dimmed. He used up the last bit of his strength and answered with difficulty:
"No, son, since you were born...everything you have done...has made me proud..."
"There's one more thing... I've always wanted to tell you... Actually... I went to see you on the day you took part in the hunting team assessment."
"That day, you were as brave as a little tiger..."
Gu Li finished speaking with a proud smile on his face, and he seemed to see again the scene of Qie Ye participating in the hunting team assessment.
He looked at Qie Ye, who had grown up, with satisfaction, his eyes filled with reluctance and encouragement.
Until one moment, his life finally came to an end. The hand that tightly grasped Qie Ye also lost its strength, and his eyes gradually lost their luster...
"father……"
Qie Ye cried out at the top of his lungs and lay on his father's body crying.
He always thought that his father did not even go to see him on the day he participated in the hunting team assessment, and he blamed him for it for a long time.
It was not until this moment that Qie Ye realized that it was not that his father did not go, but that he did not see him.
It turns out that I have always misunderstood my father... (End of this chapter)
