?173: Chapter 173: Blood-Patterned Ant 173: Chapter 173: Blood-Patterned Ant Big Blood Bull and Su Ran, one ahead and one behind, continued to move forward.

    They had cautiously passed through the nests of the bursting-ants and came to a large nest in the center, halting their steps.

    This nest was covered with blood-red lines, like a seal, imprinted on the outside of the nest and, emanating an extremely dangerous aura, preventing anyone from approaching.

    “Don’t get upset, this isn’t a grave, it’s the nest of the Blood-Pattern Ant BOSS!” Big Blood Bull saw Su Ran’s hand trembling a bit and quickly corrected him, fearing that Su Ran might lose control, rush up, and start digging into the nest with a hoe in hand.

    “I know, what is that over there?” Su Ran, his hand trembling slightly, pointed towards the distant sky, where a large black mass was moving in their direction.

    “What?” Big Blood Bull, alarmed, looked in the direction, “Quick, hide!

    These are the Black Ant Swarm I mentioned!

    No wonder we haven’t encountered them along the way, they must have been out on a mission!”

    Hide, but where?

    “Follow me!” Big Blood Bull, having clearly encountered such a situation before, went to some nearby water flow.

    “This place is deep, enough to hold a person, let’s go down and lay low for a while.”

    Su Ran frowned, knowing he couldn’t do it.

    If the Illusion Demon’s cloak floated up in the water, his skeleton would be completely exposed.

    After considering it a bit, he decisively shook his head at Big Blood Bull.

    “You stay here, I see a rock protruding on the cliff up ahead where I can hide well.”

    “Huh?” Big Blood Bull was taken aback for a moment before he realized.

    The way his body was soaked, he would be highly tempting to the Overturning Water.

    If he lost control again… Thinking about this, Big Blood Bull shivered.

    He said to Su Ran.

    “Get out of here, get out of here!

    I don’t want to see you!”

    Su Ran, fully aware of the time pressure, dashed to the other side of the cliff before the swarm of Black Ants arrived.

    He concealed himself behind a protruding boulder.

    Humming…

    A large swarm of the Black Ants flew down, settling around the nest of the Blood-Pattern Ant Queen, each with a bunch leaf pieces in their mouths.

    Huh?

    What were these leaves for?

    Su Ran, wanting to know the answer, held his breath and carefully watched the next movements of these flying ants.

    Suddenly.

    The large nest began to shake violently.

    With a “bang!”, a gigantic ant jumped out of the nest, landing on the ground.

    To Su Ran’s amazement, this gigantic and deep green ant, its body covered with blood-red lines, was undoubtedly the Blood-Pattern Ant.

    The Blood Pattern Ant, although massive, landed with such grace that not a single sound was heard, truly formidable!

    When the Blood-Pattern Ant landed, an aura befitting a king emanated from it.

    The Black Ants all around prostrated themselves on the ground, like subjects before their monarch, truly humble.

    Watching with curiosity, Su Ran couldn’t help but dream.

    If he could one day be like this Blood-Pattern Ant, surrounded by the king’s aura, coming to the Imperial City with all players from the entire Human Race lining up to receive him, just thinking about it was thrilling.

    It truly made him feel as if he was flying!

    Suddenly, the two antennae on the forehead of the Blood-Pattern Ant shook, emitting strange ripples.

    At the same time, the swarm of Black Ants, as if they had received an order, took to the skies in an organized manner.

    One by one, they flew to the head of the Blood-Pattern Ant and threw the leaves they had been holding in their jaws at the noble queen ant. S~ea??h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Just as the leaves lost control in the air, a droplet of dew emerged from each leaf and fell down, which the Blood-Pattern Ant below gulped down in one sip.

    It was so that all the Black Ants in the back would throw dew drops at their queen.

    After the Blood-Pattern Ant had absorbed all the dew droplets, the blood-colored lines on its body suddenly shone brightly and her whole body radiated with a green glow.

    It started to shake violently, tying his antennae in a knot, curling its body up in obvious agony.

    Just then, the blood-colored lines on the Blood-Pattern Ant’s body emitted a dazzling red light.

    The red light was like blood, forming a light layer on the surface of the Blood-Pattern Ant, wrapping it up.

    The blood flowed over this light layer, much like Big Blood Bull’s Blood Shield, protecting the Blood-Pattern Ant inside.

    Witnessing such a scene, Su Ran understood then that the task performed by Big Blood Bull here was obviously related to his skills.

    No wonder he had performed this task so many times and was still reluctant to give it up.

    Suddenly.

    “Gurgle…

    gurgle…”

    An untimely sound echoed.

    Particularly given how silent this place was, this sound was glaringly abrupt.

    Su Ran hearing it looked towards its source, it was precisely coming from the place where Big Blood Bull had hidden.

    Several bubbles continuously rose to the surface of the water.

    Looking at the direction from where the bubbles were emerging, Su Ran finally understood.

    Big Blood Bull just couldn’t hold it anymore and passed a series of farts underwater.

    Even more unfortunately, a few of the Black Ants had heard it.

    These few ants immediately took flight, heading for the source of the sound.

    They hovered in the air above where Big Blood Bull was hiding and didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.

    Seeing this, Su Ran silently mourned for Big Blood Bull for three seconds.

    It’s lucky that he hadn’t hidden along with Big Blood Bull or else their big plan would have been ruined with a chain reaction of farts!

    Just then, a message from a friend came over.

    Su Ran opened it to see, it was a call for help from Big Blood Bull.

    “Buddy, hurry up, use your Lava Bone Wolf to lure these damned flying ants away.

    I can’t hold my breath anymore!”

    Su Ran understood that this was not the time to tease him.

    He commanded the Lava Bone Wolf to appear and pounce on the few Black Ants hovering above the water surface.

    After attracting the anger of the few flying ants, the Lava Bone Wolf didn’t linger and rushed towards the group of Black Ants protecting the Blood-Pattern Ant.

    Soon, a lively scene emerged.

    The Lava Bone Wolf was running desperately in front, while a swarm of Black Ants was chasing furiously behind.

    “Phew, I was almost suffocated!”

    With the crisis resolved, Big Blood Bull suddenly popped his head out of the water, greedily taking in air.

    He glared at Su Ran in resentment.

    “It’s all your fault, feeding me that Grave Grass.

    Great, now my stomach’s upset, I can’t help but fart.

    I can’t even hold them in!”

    Uh, does the Grave Grass have the function of relieving flatulence?

    “Big Blood Bull, watch out behind!”

    Suddenly, Su Ran rapidly pointed and shouted at Big Blood Bull.

    Big Blood Bull took a moment, turned his head around and saw dozens of burst-ants emerging from a nest and charging directly at him.

    Damn it, I made too much noise just now and woke up these ancestors!
