After observing these strange ants for a while, Ye Xiao finds out that these ants possess a pair of tough and powerful wings that are as tough as the skin of the Eight Wings White-Armoured Insect.
These ants have a mouth full of plague poison. They were more than a vicious little thing.
"From my observation, it seems that these ants have mutated because of some reason causing their wings to look like a dragon's wings and increasing the durability of their wings.
These ants' poison is also terrifying. If one's skin were to come in contact with their poison, the skill will start to corrode immediately.
At this time, seeing one of their companions die a tragic death, the remaining strange ants flew towards Ye Xiao from all directions.
The stench instantly increased dozens of times, and Ye Xiao almost fainted from the foul smell.
He hurriedly held his breath and focused. With the swing of his spear, he cut down each and every incoming ant with ease.
At the same time, his left palm did not have time to rest. He struck out a palm with the Beast Fire, instantly burning those ants.
"Fire Clones!"
Seeing that the Beast Fire was the most effective way to deal with these ants, without wasting any time, he immediately used the Myriad Fire Image Technique and released the seven Fire Clones.
The moment those seven Fire Clones appeared, the entire dark cave lit up with bright light.
Fire clones also started to attack and burn the ants badly.
Whenever the fire clones and the ants touched each other, the ant immediately let out a shrill cry and was instantly burned to ashes.
"This is great!"
Ye Xiao laughed out loud. While ensuring that he wasn't bitten by the ants, he tried his best to use the Fire Clones and Beast Fire to kill these ants.
Even after killing hundreds of these ants, they still kept coming. They simply did not fear death. One after another, when one died, two followed behind, two died, and four immediately followed behind.
This process continued but the numbers of those ants were not decreasing at all even after massacring them for two whole hours.
Two more hours later, Ye Xiao did not know how many ants he had killed. He did not even have time to take a breath of rest. At this moment, he could not be distracted.
As long as he was distracted, he might be bitten by the ants. He was not afraid of physical damage but he was afraid of the poison in the ants' mouth, so he did not dare to gamble.
Ye Xiao was like a god of war. Every strike he made could kill more than three ants.
The sound of his attack and the sharp cries of the ants merged together as if they had become an accompaniment of slaughter.
Gradually, Ye Xiao felt that he did not have much spirit energy left in his body. His body began to feel exhausted, and he was almost bitten on the neck by some of the ants.
"No! I have to find a chance to recover my strength. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be long before these ants will be able to bite me!"
Ye Xiao understood at this moment it was not that easy to face these third-grade magical beasts.
He was dead tired right now but could not stop fighting.
If he dared to stop, those ants will immediately bite him and he will be poisoned. At that time, he will not be able to go back alive from here.
Ye Xiao found an opportunity and suddenly struck out with his Sea Dragon Spear. At the same time, he struck out with his palm, creating a path for himself. Immediately, he swung the Sea Dragon Spear to the point where any ants will be destroyed in an instant by coming in contact with his spear.
He covered himself as he escaped from the encirclement of the ants. The ants let out a shrill cry and immediately chased after Ye Xiao.
From time to time, many ants who were hiding on both sides of the wall attacked him. They were either killed by Ye Xiao's palm or by his Sea Dragon Spear.
Before long, at least thousands of ants had gathered behind Ye Xiao's back. The scene looked extremely spectacular.
A fork-like path appeared in front of him. Ye Xiao did not hesitate to choose the center path as he felt the familiar feeling was coming from here.
As he continues to advance, that familiar feeling also continues to become stronger.
Chasing after him were thousands of ants.
At first, Ye Xiao thought that there were only tens of hundreds of ants present in this cave but even after killing those tens of hundreds of ants, these ants keep coming at him.
Now, there were already more than a thousand ants following behind him.
Ye Xiao finally saw an opportunity after ten minutes. There was a dent in the front. As long as he hid in it and used the Beast Fire for deterrence, he could at least hold on for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
And this much time was sufficient for Ye Xiao to recover more than half of his strength.
With a flash, Ye Xiao agilely hid in the dent. At the same time, Beast Fire shot out in all directions.
The ants that originally wanted to squeeze into the dent and bite Ye Xiao suddenly stopped. However, there were too many of them behind him. They pushed forward and the few pitiful ants in front were pushed to the fire pit by their teammates.
They were burned by the Beast Fire until not a single hair of those pitiful ants was left.
Outside the dent, his Fire Clones were still fighting with the ants for him.
Although they were fire clones, their fighting prowess was only a little less than Ye Xiao's own fighting prowess.
