Chapter 74: I Am the Luckiest
Under the gaze of the public.
Qi Xuan casually took out countless Blue Firefly Flowers.
Previously, going around to the east to cross the river wasn’t just to avoid the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworms in the river, but more importantly, to collect these Blue Firefly Flowers.
“The flower in my hand is called the Blue Firefly Flower. It was originally just an ordinary flower, but its juice is surprisingly similar to the scent of the Fire Sickle Ants. Applying it to the body will make the Fire Sickle Ants think you are one of their own, and thus they won’t attack.”
Qi Xuan squeezed the Blue Firefly Flowers hard, squeezing out the blue juice inside, and continuously applying it to his body.
To avoid mistakes, he didn’t even spare some private parts that the camera hadn’t captured.
Soon, he became a complete little blue person.
Fortunately, this color can be washed off with water, so there’s no need to worry about it sticking to the body forever.
After finishing the preparations, Qi Xuan slowly stood up from the Bush.
Looking at the faintly visible Fire Sickle Ant Colony in front of him, even though the 《Encyclopedia》 had never been wrong, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Especially the mountain of various Demon Beast Skeletons in front of him, just looking at it was enough to make him feel immense pressure, and his feet were so heavy that he could barely lift them.
“I can do it!”
“I can definitely do it!”
“I am the strongest!”
“I am the luckiest!”
Qi Xuan kept encouraging himself in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth, taking stiff steps and striding forward.
Closer.
Even closer.
The Fire Sickle Ant Nest could even be seen.
At this moment, the hearts of countless Netizens were in their throats.
They didn’t even dare to blink, fearing they would miss the scene of Qi Xuan breaking through.
Perhaps because he had done some psychological preparation, Qi Xuan’s steps became smoother the further he went.
But when he came to the first Fire Sickle Ant, watching it suddenly turn and crawl towards him, Qi Xuan almost froze.
Then he saw the Fire Sickle Ant touch his shoes with its two antennae, and then, as if discovering something, quickly retreated.
At this moment, Qi Xuan fell into a huge dilemma.
Should he kill it?
Should he kill it?!
If the other party noticed something was wrong and went back to notify the Ant Colony to attack, this was the best time to intercept it.
Once missed, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Qi Xuan was in a mental struggle, and his thoughts turned a hundred times in an instant.
In the end, he still didn’t act, choosing to believe in the 《Encyclopedia》.
The waiting time was like a year.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe only a few seconds, but the Fire Sickle Ant came over again with several companions.
Then he saw them pushing a few meat chunks with blood in front of him.
Qi Xuan’s expression was slightly startled.
The Netizens were also stunned, and then they all laughed:
“My fellow countrymen who have returned from afar, get rid of these meat chunks.”
“There’s nothing at home to give you, but it’s not like we’ll let you go hungry.”
“After eating, come with us to see the Ant Queen, and prepare to mate.”
“Damn, that kind of thing, no.”
……
Seemingly dissatisfied with Qi Xuan’s hesitation, those Fire Sickle Ants even moved the meat chunks onto his shoes, urging him to eat.
“Thank you for your kindness, but…”
Qi Xuan’s face twitched.
He finally raised his hand and took away the meat chunks.
The Fire Sickle Ants were a little dazed for a moment, seemingly surprised that he ate so quickly.
Taking advantage of the Fire Sickle Ants going to find food for him again, Qi Xuan quickly walked forward.
If he didn’t leave, that Personal Space would be filled with meat chunks sooner or later.
Even though the Fire Sickle Ants made him experience the warmth of family, Qi Xuan still didn’t dare to take it lightly.
When they found out he wasn’t one of them, the current kindness would be multiplied into hatred, and then the fun would be great.
Deep into the Ant Nest, there were more and more Fire Sickle Ants around, sometimes making it almost impossible for him to find a place to put his feet.
Fortunately, these Fire Sickle Ants completely regarded him as one of their own. Not to mention attacking him, even when he accidentally stepped on them, they only made a squeaking sound, quickly slipping to the side, looking completely non-aggressive.
Walking, Qi Xuan gradually relaxed.
He even started to joke with the Netizens:
“If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the first Blue Star person to cross the Fire Sickle Ant Colony in history.”
“On Blue Star, I should be given a Guinness World Record.”
“The value of the Blue Firefly Flower is still rising. In the future, if you encounter Fire Sickle Ants, remember to prepare Blue Firefly Flowers in advance.”
“This thing can really be used to save lives.”
……
The Netizens were all speechless when they heard this:
“Laughing to death, he’s actually teaching us how to avoid Fire Sickle Ants.”
“Why would you think there are such terrifying things on Blue Star?”
“Once the Fire Sickle Ants appear, let alone the Blue Firefly Flowers, I’ll move immediately on the spot, and I’ll live on the sea in the future!”
“Apart from anything else, this Blue Firefly Flower still has considerable research value. Maybe Scientists can separate components similar to the Fire Sickle Ant pheromones from the juice. In the future, you won’t need to apply flower juice when you encounter Fire Sickle Ants, just spray a few sprays.”
“Understood, I’m going to hoard Blue Firefly Flowers.”
“Big shots, take me with you!”
……
Qi Xuan went deep into the Ant Colony, his expression relaxed.
But suddenly, for some reason, all the Fire Sickle Ants suddenly stopped.
Whether they were crawling, eating, or communicating with each other, all the Fire Sickle Ants straightened their bodies, raised their heads, and maintained the same alert action.
Seeing this scene, Qi Xuan’s heart suddenly felt a chill.
He froze on the spot, and the foot he had suspended in the air couldn’t be put down.
No way?
It can’t be so unlucky, right?
Only discovered by the other party after going deep into the Ant Colony…
Qi Xuan didn’t dare to imagine how miserable he would die.
He instinctively crushed the Conceal Breath Talisman.
In an instant, his Aura was almost non-existent, as if completely integrated with the surrounding environment.
He guessed he might use it when he drew this thing yesterday.
Unexpectedly, it was really used.
But the effect of the Conceal Breath Talisman has a time limit.
Qi Xuan looked at the Ant Nest on the opposite side, which still couldn’t be seen to the end, and without hesitation, immediately chose to retreat.
Taking advantage of not being completely deep, taking advantage of these Fire Sickle Ants not reacting yet, quickly escape, and he could think of a way out later.
Compared to the steady progress before, Qi Xuan’s speed when retreating was much faster, and he even didn’t care about stepping on other Fire Sickle Ants, quickly retreating all the way.
And as he retreated, the Ant Colony also suddenly became turbulent.
Countless Fire Sickle Ants rushed out of the Ant Nest, like a crimson tide, sweeping in all directions.
“Damn! Just for a little sneaking, do you have to make the scene so exaggerated?!”
Qi Xuan was shocked, and retreated even more swiftly.
When he finally retreated to the edge of the Ant Colony.
He saw that within the crimson tide, one after another huge, scarlet behemoths, under the support of many Fire Sickle Ants, emerged one after another.
Qi Xuan’s face suddenly turned pale:
“Ant… Ant Queen?!”
