At this moment, the surrounding ground trembled slightly.
"What's going on?"
The expressions of Wang Qing and the others changed abruptly. They felt that something was wrong.
Liu Yan, who had Spirit Vision, had already sensed powerful mutant beasts approaching underground. Without another word, he pulled Yang Zhi and jumped up a tree.
"Ah!" Yang Zhi exclaimed. She was shocked. This was the first time she had seen someone jump onto a five-meter-tall tree with one step!
Could it be that he had awakened a strength talent?
Soon after, giant ant-like mutant beasts appeared from where they had just left.
Wang Qing smiled and said, "You're just scaring me with these ants? Even if the four of them aren't here, I can easily kill them!"
However, as soon as Wang Qing's words fell, a large number of ant-like mutant beasts appeared in the surroundings.
At the same time, there was also a strange black mutant beast the size of two people. It looked extremely ferocious.
Liu Yan used his smart wristband to check the mutant beast's information.
[Giant Fang Ant]
[Level: 1]
[HP: 200/200]
[MP: 100/100]
[Strength: 17]
[Physique: 18]
[Agility: 21]
[Vitality: 17]
[Adaptability: 19]
[Talent: Group action]
[Giant Fang Ant Leader]
[Level: 2]
[HP: 400/400]
[MP: 200/200]
[Strength: 32]
[Physique: 35]
[Agility: 33]
[Vitality: 28]
[Adaptability: 24]
[Talents: impact, devour]
The giant fang ants were not strong. They were not even as strong as the mutated poisonous ants or the green pythons.
However, they were huge. Liu Yan could see more than a dozen of them at a glance.
Other than that, the giant fang ant leader was already level two!
In terms of attributes, although it was not as good as Liu Yan, it was still much stronger than other awakeners.
It was impossible for Wang Qing and the other three to fight against such a large number of level 2 mutant beasts.
"F*ck!" Wang Qing cursed and panicked, "Damn it, there are too many of these mutant beasts, and there's even a leader. Let's retreat quickly!"
After saying that, Wang Qing led the remaining awakeners to retreat while fighting, stalling the giant fang ants as they looked for an opportunity to leave.
"Huh?" Yang Zhi looked at Liu Yan curiously, "How did you know there were mutant beasts here?"
"I was just guessing."
"Shit!"
Seeing that Wang Qing was about to run away, Yang Zhi couldn't bother to ask any further. The humiliation from earlier was still fresh in her mind, and she had to take revenge!
"We can't let that bastard get away!"
Yang Zhi took out a knife and threw it at Wang Qing.
Her awakened assassination ability allowed her actions to be very discreet, so the knife she threw out could not be noticed by ordinary people.
Unfortunately, one of the brawny men who refused to leave the team had awakened a defensive skill. He stood behind Wang Qing to protect the latter, and thus the knife Yang Zhi threw over happened to stab into his leg.
"Ow!" The brawny man let out a muffled groan and was almost pulled into the swarm of ants.
Fortunately, his body was strong, so he managed to get up and follow after the rest.
"Yang Zhi! You better pray that I don't catch you! I will torture you to death!" Wang Qing said through gritted teeth.
Yang Zhi spat, not afraid of his threat at all.
"We'll see if you can survive!"
The giant fang ant leader had a huge body and looked heavy, but its movement was actually not slow.
It appeared behind Wang Qing and the others, blocking their way.
At the same time, the level 1 poisonous ants had them surrounded!
Seeing this, Wang Qing's face turned pale. If they were stalled here, he would die.
Wang Qing had a strong desire to live.
As long as he could survive, he would be able to become powerful and obtain status and wealth that ordinary awakeners could not even imagine.
Wang Qing looked at his companion, Song Yu, and pulled her over, throwing her to the giant fang ant leader.
"Quick, Song Yu, use your skill. I will cooperate with you to attack!"
Song Yu's pretty face was full of panic, but when she heard Wang Qing's words, she clenched her jaw and held back her fear. She quickly used her grade-C talent skill, Pause, on the giant fang ant.
Song Yu closed her eyes slightly and an invisible force was released.
With that, the giant fang ant that was charging over was suddenly controlled to stop. It seemed to be furious, and its mouthpart was writhing wildly in the air.
As the giant fang ant leader's level was higher than Song Yu's, the strength disparity was huge, and thus Song Yu's skill effect did not last for three seconds. It only lasted for one second.
A second later, the giant fang ant leader regained its movement and rushed towards Song Yu again.
Liu Yan's attention was on Song Yu. He really wanted her skill.
If Song Yu died, he would go get her body first.
It wasn't that Liu Yan had no humanity, but when the other party chose to help the wicked bully Yang Zhi just now, had she never thought that she had become the wicked herself one day?
At this time, Song Yu, who had used Pause, was slightly exhausted.
Seeing that the giant fang ant was still charging at him, she panicked and said, "Brother Wang, hurry up and attack! I can't hold on any longer!"
Song Yu shouted, but the familiar poisonous arrow did not appear behind her.
Feeling that something was wrong, Song Yu turned around and saw that Wang Qing had already left with the remaining two awakeners, abandoning her.
Wang Qing knew that he was no match for the giant fang ants, so he had no plans of fighting at all.
When he said that he would cooperate with Song Yu to attack, he was actually lying to her.
It was to sacrifice Song Yu so that she could stall for time, buying them time and the opportunity to escape!
This was something that even Liu Yan did not expect. Although he didn't trust anyone, he didn't expect Wang Qing to be so evil.
If he abandoned Song Yu, she would die without a doubt!
In an instant, Yang Zhi's explosive laughter rang out from beside Liu Yan.
"Hahahaha! To think that you would have such a day! You should've known that this would be the end. Following Wang Qing is like waiting to be killed by him! Song Yu, open your eyes and look clearly! He's a bastard!"
Song Yu's ears were filled with Yang Zhi's laughter. The disaster in front of her was real. She had been abandoned alive.
"Save, save me...!"
Save her? How?
With such a huge number of mutant beasts, even three Liu Yans wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
However, Liu Yan still jumped down from the tree.
"What are you doing?" When Yang Zhi saw Liu Yan trying to get close to Song Yu, she shouted in surprise.
Liu Yan wanted to try to save her!
Unfortunately...
Song Yu looked at Liu Yan with despair in her eyes. It was too late.
The giant fang ant arrived in an instant and finished Song Yu with one bite. She fell to the ground and died.
After Song Yu died, the giant fang ant leader did not continue to pursue Wang Qing and the others. Instead, it pounced on her body and gnawed on it.
Blood and organs splattered all over the ground.
Song Yu, who had been pretty and lovely a moment ago, had now become a terrifying piece of meat.
Wang Qing, who was not far away, was so scared that his face turned pale. He didn't care about the spoils of war that he didn't have time to take away. His life was more important, and he was ready to take the opportunity to escape.
But at this time, the giant fang ant leader had already finished gnawing on Song Yu.
The giant fang ant leader, which was already the size of two people, suddenly grew in size again...
