It came every night, the panic attack. Li Na's thoughts went into chaos every time she laid on the bed next to Tang Shaoyang. Moon did not stop whispering something lewd too. Asking her to jump on the man every night.
It had been ten days, and Li Na failed to make progress in her relationship. As for her strength, she made great progress, thirty levels in ten days. They had defeated six Ant Colonies and each Queen would grant them a treasure.
It was a fruitful survival game for both of them. Not just the treasure but the level too. Tang Shaoyang gained twenty-seven levels even though he and his spirits killed the most ants.
A set of light armor that Li Na currently had was the Tier C+ armor, one of the treasures they got from defeating one of the ant colonies. She also got a one-handed sword on her waist, another treasure from defeating the Queen.
"I wonder what kind of Ant we will encounter next," he wondered as they just defeated Earther Ant. It was the ant colonies that relied on Earth Magic. Quite troublesome as well for Li Na, but not for Moo. The Mystical Bear crushed the Earther Ant easily.
Tang Shaoyang did not need the treasure, he just wore her windbreaker and shirt inside. He used [Mana Shroud] all the time, it was an armor made of mana. So he should be fine.
"Huh!?" Tang Shaoyang halted his steps, and Li Na looked toward the man. She was waiting for the information from him. She did not know what he did, but her Boss easily gathered information in a wide range.
Each time the swarm of ants came for them, he would notify her to get ready. She had gotten used to this and was waiting for the signal, but the signal never came.
"We will enter a new area," Tang Shaoyang informed the girl. Through [Spirit Eyes], he could see the end of the barren land. There was a clear line that separated the land and the other side.
The two continued, and soon they encountered the clear line that separated the two territories. The Ant Kingdom was Barren and the other side was a dense forest. The tall grass and the dark brown barren land were in contrast, side by side.
"We haven't wiped out the Ant Kingdom…" Tang Shaoyang was reluctant to leave the Ant Kingdom. From their hierarchy, there should be one ant specimen that was the leader of the Ant Kingdom. He has not encountered their main force yet, he wanted to wipe them all out.
"We can stay longer and find more ant colonies. I will follow you wherever you go, Boss!" Li Na's tone was firm. Talking to Tang Shaoyang has become a lot easier for the girl, but advancing was still harder.
Tang Shaoyang looked back at the vast barren land. The reason he wanted to kill more ants because of Malki. He had been using the ant corpse for [Spirit Advancement] for Malki. Now Malki was a Tier A spirit, halfway to Tier A+. That was why he was reluctant to leave the Ant Kingdom's territory.
Ten days of journey, six ant colonies. Tang Shaoyang was moving straight, so if he wanted to look for more colonies, he had to roam around to find them which would waste more time than entering the new territory.
If they entered the new territory, they could easily find the new prey for Li Na to level up. And thanks to his presence, the sixth portal had been an easy challenge for the girl.
"Nah, let's just enter the forest," Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "Let's not waste our time with the ants."
He then stepped into the forestry area as Li Na followed him closely. The air in the forest area was damp and colder than the barren land. The tall grass made it hard to see what was on the ground.
"Should I burn the forest and lure the monsters out instead?" Tang Shaoyang was tempted with the idea, but it was not the best idea for sure. The fire might also burn their potential spot to sleep.
Instead of burning the grass, he took out his Death Scythe. He cut the grass with the scythe as they entered the forest. Fortunately, he had [Spirit Eyes] to see the area from above, and he could see through the obstacle.
As they moved forward, Tang Shaoyang noticed the dense tall grass shook. It was still a hundred meters ahead of them. His [Spirit Eyes]'s vision passed through the tall grass and found a swarm running toward.
It was not an ant, but a rat this time. The green-haired rat was about fifty centimeters long with a twenty centimeters longhorn. Thousands of this kind of rats rushed in their directions.
Tang Shaoyang summoned Zowen through the [Spirit Avatar], only Zowen.
—Summon me too, My Lord!
Malki cried out right after he summoned Zowen. The Fire Ant Emperor did not want to lose against Zowen.
'Not now, your chance will arrive soon!' He then looked toward Li Na. He was about to warn her, but the girl had summoned Moon as soon as he summoned Zowen.
Zowen looked back at Tang Shaoyang, "As usual, right?" Her discouraged voice asked her Master.
As usual, she would protect Li Na from the beasts while Moon and Tang Shaoyang went on a rampage. Of course, if not for Tang Shaoyang's order, Zowen would not do this. She was the respected magus, not a bodyguard. As someone who just died recently and became a spirit, she still maintained her pride as a magus.
Tang Shaoyang did not bother with Zowen as he rushed forward to meet with the rat swarm. As soon as the rats came into his sight, he immediately cast [Basic Detection] on them.

"It's still low leveled, so there's no need for me to use [Dragon Transformation]," he wanted Moon to kill most of them, so both could gain more level.
