Chapter 83: Chapter 70: Alarm, Heavenly Fire Ants Ant
Swarm!
Translator: 549690339
Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Majestic and towering, its aura was overwhelming.
Chen Fan, along with the Black Iron Dragon Turtle and Cold Ice White Python, got off the vehicle at the foot of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Breathing in the fresh air of nature, Chen Fan couldn’t help but stretch wearily.
Beardy, looking displeased, turned the truck around and drove off without even greeting Chen Fan, fleeing as if running away.
This speed, this momentum…it’s as if he made the truck feel like a sports car.
As Chen Fan watched the truck leave, he recalled his gaze and summoned Snowy and Feicui amongst others.
He charged up the mountain road with a group of Guardian Beasts by his side.
The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain lived up to its name…
In less than half an hour, Chen Fan had encountered fifteen 4th level monsters.
Demon Flowers with huge bloody mouths, capable of walking;
Poisonous Triangular Deer;
Vine Wood Monsters covered in countless tentacles;
Heavenly Fire Ants the size of water buffalos, breathing flames…
One bizarre creature after another saw Chen Fan and his Guardian Beasts and fearlessly charged towards them…only to be beaten to death by Snowy and the others.
That wasn’t the strange part.
The further east they went, the more numerous the Heavenly Fire Ants they encountered.
It reached the point where, after traveling ten miles, all the other monsters disappeared, leaving only clusters of Heavenly Fire Ants.
Third and fourth level Heavenly Fire Ants appeared in droves.
Every swarm consisted of approximately thirty to forty ants.
Luckily, Snowy had the “Lightning Chain” AoE skill, and Feicui had “Storm Tear”…
As a result, the Heavenly Fire Ant swarms didn’t pose much of a threat to Chen Fan. In fact, they became the perfect small monsters for him to farm energy from.
In less than an hour, Chen Fan and his “big squad” had wiped out six swarms of Heavenly Fire Ants, killing more than two hundred and thirty!
But something seemed off…
Before coming to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Chen Fan had researched the environment and various monsters of the mountain.
There weren’t that many Heavenly Fire Ants on Ten Thousand Beast Mountain at all!
It was even less likely for there to be one swarm after another like this!
What was going on?
Even though killing small monsters felt good, Chen Fan cautiously stopped and didn’t continue heading east with Snowy and the others.
He found a safe area and took out piles of food from the Beastmaster’s Space, preparing to let Snowy and the others rest before considering whether or not to continue eastward.
Just as they were eating, the smart wristwatch on Chen Fan’s left wrist suddenly emitted a red light.
Amidst a moment of hesitation, Chen Fan checks his smart wristwatch.
A crisp female voice immediately sounded… “Attention, citizens of East Sea City!”
“Attention, citizens of East Sea City!”
“Ant swarm detected in the East Sea City 4th Secret Realm! The Heavenly Fire Ant swarm has spread from the 4th Secret Realm towards East Sea City!” “Please, citizens outside of East Sea City, return to the main city immediately!”
“Return to the main city!”
The alarm played four times in a row!
Holy shit… Chen Fan cursed.
I’ve been killing ants for this long, and you guys just discovered the ant swarm?
Are you kidding me?!
Chen Fan opened up the smart wristwatch to check the 4th Secret Realm of East Sea City.
“Damn!”
As he checked, Chen Fan was startled.
The 4th Secret Realm was located about two hundred miles east of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain!
If the ant swarm was coming out of the 4th Secret Realm and spreading towards East Sea City, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain would be the first to be affected!
No wonder there were swarms of Heavenly Fire Ants appearing one after another!
Damn…
Were the Heavenly Fire Ants they had killed before the vanguard?
The defenses of East Sea City seemed off…the huge swarms of Heavenly Fire Ants had already appeared on Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and they only just discovered the ant swarm?
Hold on…
How terrifying exactly was this so-called ant swarm?
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment.
Killing ant swarms to increase his system energy was the fastest and easiest
way.
Killing 3rd or 4th level Heavenly Fire Ants would provide 5 to 8 energy points each.
Wave after wave of Heavenly Fire Ants posed a huge temptation for Chen Fan!
Just then, planes flew overhead one after another, heading east towards Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
From below, motor roars resounded.
Chen Fan went and took a look, only to see rows of armored tanks and various war vehicles speeding down the road at the foot of the mountain.
Behind the armored tanks and war vehicles were armed soldiers!
And following the military were trucks carrying Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists!
“Is war about to break out?”
Chen Fan started to feel nervous as well.
He hadn’t seen a Heavenly Fire Ant swarm before, so he wasn’t sure how terrifying it could be.
However, with East Sea City mobilizing such a massive force, even sending out the military…
Should they return or not?
With the Beastmaster’s Space, he didn’t need to worry too much.
Seizing the opportunity to kill more small monsters and identifying a potential danger, he could bring Snowy and the others into the Beastmaster’s Space with him, right?
What worried him the most was the fear of people discovering the existence of this space.
Otherwise, even if he faced a sea of Heavenly Fire Ants, what was there to fear?
Chen Fan took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and was about to take a risk when a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from the sky…
“Chen Fan?”
“Chen Fan!”
“Huh?” Chen Fan looked up and saw a giant bird with two people on its back quickly circling above him before landing on an empty spot to his right. On the back of the giant bird was a woman clad in black Battle Armor.
Next to the woman was Ye Hao from War God Academy!
Chen Fan squinted his eyes: “A 16th-level Golden Gyrfalcon!”
It was his first time seeing such a high-level Guardian Beast since coming to East Sea City!
It should be noted that the Wild Savage Apes and several other Guardian Beasts that he had seen at the Guidance Plaza were only at level 10!
This Golden Gyrfalcon carrying two people had actually reached level 16! Ye Hao jumped off the Golden Gyrfalcon, quickly walked over, and said: “Chen Fan, how come you’re here!”
“The ant swarm of Heavenly Fire Ants is coming, Mount Wanshou is extremely dangerous!”
“Hurry back!”
“It’ll be too late if you delay any longer!”
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and said, “Is the ant swarm of Heavenly Fire Ants really that terrifying? I’ve killed several batches of Heavenly Fire Ants on my way here.”
Ye Hao said anxiously, “That’s more than just terrifying…”
“Haven’t you noticed that all the monsters in Mount Wanshou have hidden away?
“When the Heavenly Fire Ants swarm arrives, nothing will be left alive!”
“Even level 15 monsters have to retreat far away!”
Chen Fan touched his chin: “What are you doing here?”
“Me?” Ye Hao frowned and said: “My elder brother is a member of the War God Pioneer Group. I wanted to go with Sister Qing to the Pioneer Group over the weekend and join them entering the 5th Secret Realm.”
“But I just left the city and heard the alarm.”
“Sister Qing simply brought me here to take a look… Oh, let me introduce her!”
Ye Hao pointed to the expressionless beauty behind him and said: “Sister Qing’s full name is Zhen Qing, she is the vice captain of the War God Pioneer Group and my brother’s comrade.”
“Hello!” Chen Fan greeted with a smile.
Zhen Qing walked over slowly, glanced at the group of Guardian Beasts beside Chen Fan, and then frowned and said, “Ru Gel s Black Iron Dragon Turtle? Qing Qing’s Cold Ice White Python?”
“Why are their Guardian Beasts following you?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao also realized what was going on and looked at Chen
Fan incredulously: “Yeah…aren’t those Qing Qing’s and Ru Ge’s Guardian
Beasts? How come they are here?”
“Oh,” Chen Fan said lightly, “They’re too busy lately, so I’m helping them train their Guardian Beasts.”
Ye Hao immediately looked at Zhen Qing and said, “Chen Fan is my classmate at War God Academy. Sister Qing, you must’ve heard of him… he’s the one who contracted four Guardian Beasts.
“Oh? You’re the genius who contracted four Guardian Beasts? I’ve long heard of your great name.” Zhen Qing’s expression changed slightly as she looked deeply at Chen Fan.
A Guardian Beastmaster who could contract multiple Guardian Beasts while below the fourth realm is considered a Sky Vertical Genius. Yet, at the first-grade realm, he contracted four Guardian Beasts…
Such talent was simply unimaginable!
Chen Fan responded with a courteous smile.
“Hurry back.”
Zhen Qing’s brows furrowed as she said, “The Heavenly Fire Ant swarm moves very fast. If you don’t go back now, I’m afraid it’ll be too late.”
“I understand.” Chen Fan nodded.
Though he said that, he had already decided to take a risk and fiercely grind through several waves of monsters.
“See you later! ”
Ye Hao gently patted Chen Fan’s shoulder, then got back on the Golden Gyrfalcon’s back with Zhen Qing.
The Golden Gyrfalcon flapped its wings, creating a wild wind, and it flew towards the east side of Mount Wanshou.
There were faint explosion sounds coming from ahead.
The military of East Sea City must have already engaged the Heavenly Fire Ant swarm.
Chen Fan squinted his eyes, pulling out the Long Knife that was sheathed on his back.
With the military of East Sea City battling the ant swarm, he could surely handle some small ant groups by himself, one after another, without any major problems, right?
Chen Fan chose a small path, leading Snowy and the others up Mount Wanshou at a leisurely pace.
On their way, they didn’t encounter any other monsters.
It seemed that all the monsters in Mount Wanshou had hidden themselves.
Only the countless swarms of Heavenly Fire Ants, one group after another, surged like a tide…
Chen Fan had become bloodthirsty, killing each group he encountered, pressing forward without stopping.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, Chen Fan noticed a cave.
Next to the cave was a cliff.
He led Snovvy and the others to the edge of the cliff, climbed up to take a look…
“Hiss!”
Seeing this, Chen Fan couldn’t help but inhale sharply!
The plain area on the east side of Mount Wanshou was filled with Heavenly Fire Ants, so many that one couldn’t see the end!
“This…this is the ant swarm!”
Chen Fan clenched his teeth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Facing this overwhelming ant swarm, he suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.
Those hundreds of aircraft in the sky could only slow down the ant swarm’s speed…
With just these warplanes and armored tanks, it would be practically impossible to stop the Heavenly Fire Ant swarm!
Chen Fan turned around and looked at the dark cave.
The monster attribute panel appeared in his vision…
Deep inside the cave, there was a level 5 Giant Bloodfang Wild Boar.
Chen Fan looked at the Black Iron Dragon Turtle and said, “Put on the Black
Iron Shield, go inside the cave, and lure out that Giant Bloodfang Wild Boar.” The Black Iron Dragon Turtle blinked and obediently crawled into the cave..
