Chapter 73: How Could My Qi God…
The next day, as soon as the Live Stream Room opened, countless Barrage flooded in:
“Going around to the east is too dangerous.”
“Yeah, why are there so many ferocious Demon Beasts?”
“Compared to those Demon Beasts, the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm seems a little cute.”
“It’s a good thing Qi God didn’t go around before, choosing to cross the River directly, otherwise, there’s a high probability something would have happened.”
“That’s for sure! He hadn’t eaten so much Silver Steel Grass before crossing the River, and if he got hit, he’d be gone on the spot.”
“No matter what, he successfully crossed that River anyway. It was also Qi God’s bad luck, just running into the previous Torrential Rain and floods, otherwise, how could the River be so wide?”
“But come to think of it, why was Qi God picking those blue flowers all the way? What are those flowers for?”
……
Qi Xuan adjusted the angle and said to the camera:
“Good morning, everyone.”
“I wasn’t idle after the Live Stream ended yesterday. I went around to the east and crossed the River, and in the evening, I successfully returned to the Cabin I built to rest.
As for my current location, as you can see, the Forest here looks very normal, and I can occasionally see some edible Fruit around.
That’s right, we’ve now arrived at the food-rich area to the North. If we go a little further, we’ll be at the place where we stopped before.
After a few days, we’ve returned. This time, we must cross the Gate and reach further North. I hope everyone will witness this journey together.”
With that, Qi Xuan didn’t delay any further and walked straight ahead.
He occasionally picked a couple of Fruits to eat along the way, looking relaxed and carefree.
Seeing this, the Netizens also started chatting:
“Based on the exploration process during this period, the West should be the most dangerous, right? Does anyone have any objections?”
“I strongly object! Although there’s a Giant Octopus in the Swamp in the West, we have the Cliff and Fog Sea in the East. There are many huge Creatures hidden in the Fog Sea. Don’t you think those Creatures are easy to deal with?”
“Speaking of which, my South isn’t bad either, okay? Forget about the Serrated Tyrant Yuan, but there are so many Ferocious beasts we encountered along the way, and Qi God had to go around many of them. In terms of the density of Ferocious beasts, it’s the first among the four directions. Who dares to say that there aren’t any fierce things like the Giant Octopus inside?”
“That’s right. Besides the astonishing number of Ferocious beasts in the South, the key is that the end is also a steep Cliff. The area below the Cliff is gloomy and dark. I feel uncomfortable just looking at it. Who knows what’s down there?”
“Alright, alright, you guys can argue about the most dangerous one, but it should be no problem that my South is the safest, right?”
“That’s true. After all, in the previous Live Stream, we didn’t see any danger in the South. According to Qi God, with his current strength, he seems to be able to get through it. It seems that it’s indeed not as good as the other directions.”
“Anyway, we’ll know soon.”
……
After passing through the food-rich area, the Woods around gradually became shorter, and the Bushes also increased. Only living things were very rare, unlike the South, where you would encounter some Ferocious beasts from time to time.
This kind of ecosystem is quite novel, but Qi Xuan also knew that this was only temporary, and he would soon encounter something that would make even the Hundred-Mouth Blood Silkworm bow down.
Immediately, he began to introduce it to the camera:
“Speaking of the reason for the return last time, it was purely because the area ahead was occupied by a group of ants. Of course, they are not the ants we usually see. According to the local term, they should be called Fire Sickle Ants.
Fire Sickle Ants climb extremely fast, have an extremely strong bite force, and also carry fire poison on their bodies, some of which can even fly.
If it’s just like this, it’s nothing. Just a few of them, and you can easily crush them to death.
The problem is that Fire Sickle Ants have the Characteristic of living in groups, often living together in hundreds of thousands or even millions. Under normal circumstances, even if a group of Serrated Tyrant Yuan came, they would have to kneel on the spot.”
The Netizens, who had witnessed the terrifying strength of the Serrated Tyrant Yuan yesterday, were immediately unconvinced:
“Qi God, do you have to exaggerate so much?”
“If you say that Fire Sickle Ants can bite the Lions and Elephants on Blue Star to death, that’s fine, but the Serrated Tyrant Yuan, that thing, its outer skin alone is several centimeters thick. Can Fire Sickle Ants break through its defense?”
“It’s not just the thickness. The strength of the Serrated Tyrant Yuan’s outer skin is estimated to be no weaker than steel. It’s difficult for swords and knives to pierce it, let alone other Creatures.”
“Let’s assume that Fire Sickle Ants can break through the defense. If we calculate by toxicity, the Maricopa Harvester Ant should be the most poisonous ant on Blue Star. It probably takes 12 stings to kill a 2-kilogram Creature.
If the Serrated Tyrant Yuan weighs 2000 kilograms, that means it needs 12,000 stings. Considering the Serrated Tyrant Yuan’s poison resistance and the thickness of its outer skin, the actual number of stings may need to be multiplied by several or even dozens of times. Let’s just calculate it as ten times.
That is to say, 120,000 ants must launch an attack at the same time to possibly kill it. Considering the Serrated Tyrant Yuan’s terrifying sprinting speed, this is almost impossible to achieve.”
……
The Netizens were making all kinds of arguments, but Qi Xuan didn’t see them. However, even if he saw them, he would at most smile and dismiss them.
At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped, crouched down behind a Bush, and then carefully parted the dense Vegetation, and said to the Live Stream Room through the gaps in the branches and leaves:
“The area where the Fire Sickle Ants live is ahead. Let’s let everyone see their combat power first.”
With that, Qi Xuan pushed the camera forward.
When they saw the scene behind the Bush, the Netizens in the Live Stream Room couldn’t help but gasp.
Skeletons.
Everywhere were Skeletons.
Dense Skeletons.
Those running on the ground, those flying in the sky, from as small as a Fist to as large as hundreds of meters.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of Ferocious beast it was that finally died here, and all the flesh and blood were completely removed.
Many Netizens suddenly realized at this moment why they didn’t see a single living thing in the area where the Vegetation was lush and the Fruits were abundant.
Perhaps all the living things had turned into the Skeletons here.
No wonder Qi Xuan ran away at first.
If it were them, they would have to run too.
While the Netizens were shocked, the Live Stream camera continued to move forward.
Then they saw the dense Ant Nests below and behind the Skeletons, from near to far, filling the entire field of vision, as if they had come to the kingdom of ants.
In those Ant Nests, there were Fire Sickle Ants the size of Fists, with red bodies, constantly climbing in and out. Their strong and powerful mandibles, the blade-like appendages that were like daggers, and the sharp, poisonous tail stings, made countless Netizens’ scalps numb:
“What the hell do you call this ants? Are there ants this big?!”
“In a one-on-one situation, you don’t even need poison. This guy can stab me to death with one appendage.”
“I’m sorry, Ant Bro, I spoke too loudly just now.”
“Withdraw the previous statement. This time, I’m standing with the Fire Sickle Ants. With this number, no matter how many Tyrant Yuans come, they won’t be able to withstand it.”
“Don’t mention it, I’ve seen the Skeletons of the Tyrant Yuan. The Fire Sickle Ants have a record. Isn’t this enough to prove their strength?”
“Retreat, Qi God, it’s not embarrassing, really, not embarrassing at all. This thing, even if a tank comes over, it’s estimated that they can bite through it.”
“I’d rather climb the Cliff in the South and East than face this thing. This is simply courting death!”
“Please, Qi God, let’s go quickly. I don’t want to watch you turn into a Skeleton. Wuwu, my Qi God, how could my Qi God…”
“I’m f*cking, don’t start crying now!”
“It can still be saved, everyone, hurry up and save him!”
……
The Netizens strongly advised, but Qi Xuan had no intention of retreating at all and immediately took action.
