“…” The figure seemed to be stunned.
The figure seemed unwilling to admit defeat as she continued, “Not yet, unless you say you love him.”
This time, Lin Xi said without thinking, “I love him. Aunt Yan, go ahead.”
“…” The figure.
“Miss Xi, ordinary people can’t understand your personality.” The figure laughed, “The people of your Lin family are good at speaking without restraint. It’s really passed down from generation to generation and is engraved in your bones.”
“Whether you like him or not, I can tell if it’s true. I’m very experienced in this aspect.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or false. It’s fine as long as I achieve my goal,” Lin Xi said.
“Alright, then when I see that Student Wang, I’ll tell him that it’s a classmate called Lin Xi who likes you and asked me to come. You don’t mind, right?” The figure continued to smile.
“I don’t mind, because with his intelligence, he won’t believe you,” Lin Xi said.
“Hahaha… excellent.” The figure laughed, “Miss Xi, I don’t think any man will like your personality.”
“Men all like those who are either obedient, sensible, or coquettish and clingy. No matter how cold and rational you are, you still have to show your feminine trait occasionally. Especially when they feel embarrassed, it’s easier for men to go crazy. Otherwise, there’s no feminine charm at all…”
“Look, it’s like your Feathered Spirit Snake. Although it’s cold and arrogant, it will still act coquettishly with you from time to time.” The figure said slowly.
“I don’t need a man to like me,” Lin Xi said.
“…” Great, she was speechless now.
“Alright, Miss Xi, you win.” The figure’s voice had a hint of laziness and helplessness, “I’ll go and take a look. If necessary, I’ll save your classmate’s life. I knew it. Why did you come out in such a way today…”
“Thank you, Aunt Yan.” Lin Xi said, “By the way, if you see his soul pet use any extraordinary abilities on the way, I hope you won’t tell me or anyone else.”
“Oh? Why?”
“Because the Aviation Cup is about to begin. If I meet him, I need to defeat him with my own strength. If you tell me in advance, then I’ll know everything. It’ll be meaningless.”
“Hahaha, interesting. Miss Xi, a while ago, why did you investigate the information of many participants in the Aviation Cup?”
“Those are all weaklings.”
“What’s wrong with weaklings?”
“I don’t want to waste time on the weak because they can’t beat me. Those materials are just to win faster.”
“Hahahaha…”
A laugh sounded.
The figure gradually disappeared into the void.
Lin Xi’s eyes flashed. She gently stroked the Feathered Spirit Snake and quickly disappeared into the vast wilderness.
——
Wang Che flew on his sword and enjoyed the feeling of soaring freely in the air.
He did not like using soul wings.
Of course, he did not hate them.
However, as a former cultivator, a sword cultivator, Sword Kinesis Flight was one of the ways.
15 kilometers seemed very far, but in fact, it was very short.
Moreover, because he was going towards the Thousand-legged Soldier Ants that were coming in his direction, it only took Wang Che a few minutes to encounter them.
Actually, the speed of the Magnetic Sword was not considered fast.
However, these Thousand-legged Soldier Ants were very fast.
On the way, he encountered two injured city guards.
They all excitedly greeted him and quickly left.
They did not even know Wang Che’s strength but only knew that he was Wang Batian.
That was enough.
Thousand-Legged Soldier Ant: A soul beast that lives in groups with a highly unified group nature. A newly hatched soldier ant only has four legs. However, every ten years, a foot will grow. After a hundred years, a foot will grow every hundred years.
After reaching a hundred years of cultivation, it would evolve into a Thousand-legged Flying Ant and grow wings.
At first, it could only fly at a low altitude. The higher its cultivation, the higher it could fly.
A Thousand-legged Flying Ant with a soul power cultivation of more than a thousand years would evolve into a Ten Thousand Feet Wing and become a dual attribute peerless soul pet of the flying and bug types.
Among dual-attribute soul pets, it was a classic case of having conflicting attributes.
Of course, soul pets were soul pets.
Soul beasts were soul beasts.
The evolution of soul beasts was different from soul pets.
Only soul pets that signed a life contract with humans would follow the evolution patterns of human research.
It was even more difficult for wild soul beasts to evolve. Even after their soul power cultivation base reached a certain level, they would not casually evolve.
Therefore, soul beasts in the wilderness could easily see grow for hundreds of years as Thousand-legged Soldier Ants or green caterpillars.
When Wang Che saw the Thousand-legged Soldier Ant, he did feel that something was wrong.
There were too many of them.
The Magnetic Sword did not fly high, only dozens of meters.
He could clearly see that there were dense shadows below, like a swarm of locusts, laying on the plains.
Like a swarm of bees, they swarmed forward.
Any one of them was the size of an ordinary puppy.
As a soul pet that was several times smaller than the green caterpillar, one could imagine that such a large one had a cultivation of at least five to six hundred years.
Due to the fact that it had many legs, its speed was really fast when it moved.
The mucus in its mouth could corrode many metal rocks over time.
Therefore, once a few Thousand-legged Soldier Ants infiltrated, they could easily destroy the magnetic levitation power system.
The weakness of the Thousand-legged Soldier Ant was its physique. It was not good at long distances.
But now, something was obviously wrong.
Every Thousand-legged Soldier Ant was black. The blood vessels on their bodies appeared on the surface of their skin and wriggled.
It was as if they would explode at any moment.
They charged forward tirelessly.
“Black Blood Cancer.” Wang Che muttered.
It was a terminal illness among soul pets.
It was not that the illness was abnormal.
It was mainly troublesome. The onset of the illness was short and fast. It could only last for a day or less.
They would die rapidly.
It was too hard to save them with this time limit.
The reason for the illness was said to be related to the aftermath of the war back then.
The soul beasts were tainted by some powerful destructive energy and were quickly infected…
“It’s much stronger than ordinary Thousand-legged Soldier Ants… These terrorists are really evil.”
Wang Che shook his head.
Thousand-legged Soldier Ant actually had a mild nature and usually did not attack humans.
The soul beasts in the wilderness were different from before.
In the hundreds of years after the war, the relationship between humans and soul beasts was at a conflicting stage.
Coupled with the fact that it was the Soul Earth, there would be beast tides attacking human cities.
In the modern world three thousand years later, such a situation had never happened once in a few hundred years.
Soul beasts in the wilderness had their own habitats. As long as humans did not attack or bear any ill intentions, even if you fed one at close range, there won’t be any problems.
“I can’t save them…”
Wang Che frowned slightly.
If there were one or two, at this stage, he could still think of a way.
No terminal illness was a problem for him.
But there were hundreds and thousands of them… Forget it.
At this moment…
“Wang Batian!”
Behind the Thousand-legged Soldier Ant swarm, a fierce shout came, “You finally appeared! Not to mention wearing a mask, even if you turn to ashes, every Sacred Disciple can recognize you!”
The sound was very penetrating. Even from afar, Wang Che could hear it clearly.
Wang Che looked down and immediately saw a figure in a mysterious black robe.
“Oh my, you can recognize me with a mask on?”
Wang Che was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at the green caterpillar under his feet, “Did you expose me?”
Back in the Floating Forest, not only had Xue Batian seen him, but he had also investigated him and seen the green caterpillar.
Only the green caterpillar could expose itself instantly when he appeared wearing a mask.
After all, such a special green caterpillar could be seen at a glance.
Of course, those Ghost Disciples might have other special methods of identification.
“Huh?”
The green caterpillar wrapped around Wang Che’s feet.
As if to say: It’s none of my business.
At this moment, the figure’s soul power surged.
With a wave of his hand, a black conch suddenly condensed.
Then, he placed it in his mouth and blew gently.
Wu ~ Wu ~
As the sound spread, the Thousand-legged Soldier Ants stopped in unison.
Then!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Countless gazes landed on Wang Che.
Killing intent surged!
“Wang Batian, even if you fly in the air, you will die here today!” The black figure let out a roar.
As Wang Che had expected, there was only this black figure inside the swarm of Thousand-legged Soldier Ants.
From the clothes and aura, it was obviously a Ghost Disciple.
The black conch he took out was his martial soul. It seemed to be able to control the Thousand-legged Soldier Ants that were already in a critical condition.
Wang Che smiled and turned around to run without a word.
However, he was naturally not going in the same direction as before. Instead, he was going in the opposite direction.
“Run? Do you think you can run? Are you the only one who can fly?”
“Take off!”
The Ghost Disciple shouted and blew the conch.
In an instant, many Thousand-legged Soldier Ants that had evolved flapped their wings and flew at a low altitude, quickly rushing towards Wang Che.
For those without wings, the flesh on the back grew. Under the catalysis of the illness, pairs of flesh wings with blood grew out.
Their bodies glowed with white light.
They directly evolved.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! One Thousand-legged Soldier Ant after another evolved into Thousand-legged Flying Ants and flew into the sky.
They maintained a tight formation and attacked Wang Che.
A pair of soul wings appeared on the back of the Ghost Disciple. In the middle of the Thousand-legged Ants, it followed the group and chased after Wang Che.
Like a ferocious beast, they flew up and down, sweeping through the wilderness.
The place where the Thousand-legged Soldier Ants was crawling was charred.
The flowers, grass, and all kinds of resources in the wilderness were almost cleanly wiped.
Nothing was left.
It was very upsetting.
Not long after the Thousand-legged Soldier Ant group took off, as the huge ant swarm gradually disappeared…
A hazy figure appeared from the void and looked at the distant scene. It could not help but smile.
“Young hero Wang Batian, you’re only so-so… I thought you really had a way to deal with these Thousand-legged Flying Ants that have fallen ill… Isn’t this just trying to escape… However, your courage is commendable. To be able to stand up at this time… Not bad.”
“At least, compared to other war zones, some of the commercialized celebrity heroes will only escape for themselves when they are in such a situation.”
“Young geniuses always need time to grow…”
“However, the further you go, the longer it will take for the reinforcements to arrive. It’s only a matter of time before they catch up.”
“Sigh, these Ghost Disciples are getting more and more cunning and difficult to deal with… I didn’t expect that they could even develop the Black Blood Cancer. This means that they can already control that energy… It seems that some extraordinary martial souls have awakened among those Ghost Disciples…”
The figure muttered a few words and disappeared into the void again.
