Chapter 19: Earning 130,000 in a Frenzy, a World Where Only Ning Yuan Gets Hurt Is Achieved

"Boom, boom!"

A series of rumbling sounds suddenly erupted from the hole in front of Ning Yuan and his companion!

"Are more Man-Eating Ants coming out?"

Ning Yuan did not realize the severity of the situation at first and subconsciously walked a few steps toward the hole.

Beside him, Chen Fu was busy dealing with a Man-Eating Ant that Ning Yuan had just killed.

"Ho, how could this be..."

"So many?!"

Then Ning Yuan saw a scene that made his face turn pale instantly.

Two Man-Eating Ants were in the lead, digging the soil frantically as if their lives depended on it, widening the hole!

Behind them, a Man-Eating Ant was carrying the Ant Queen, who was as fat as a maggot.

As for how many Man-Eating Ants were behind that, Ning Yuan could not see clearly because his view was blocked by the Ant Queen.

But a conservative estimate was at least five or six!

"At least eight Man-Eating Ants; how is this any different from a small Beast Tide!?"

Ning Yuan wilted.

His Martial Arts Talent was to grow stronger through killing, an ultimate growth-type talent, but he couldn't handle multiple Man-Eating Ants at once, let alone an Ant Queen!

"Rustle!"

At this moment, the two leading Man-Eating Ants arrived.

They would be out of the hole immediately.

"Run!!"

Ning Yuan finally snapped back to reality and let out a roar!

"A Beast Tide!"

"A Beast Tide? How could there be a Beast Tide?!" Chen Fu finally realized what was happening; his hands shook, and his newly bought Anatomy Knife and Specialized Backpack both fell to the ground.

"I clearly only used one pack of Attract Beast Powder at a time, why would it alert the entire Man-Eating Ant Nest?!"

They fled in a panic.

Turning his head, he saw the formation behind them.

More than ten Man-Eating Ants!

Chen Fu felt confused, terrified, and even more filled with the grief and indignation of being toyed with by Heaven.

Ten of them; if he had used the Attract Beast Powder successfully to lure and kill them one by one, including the time already spent, Ning Yuan could have increased his Qi and Blood by over 70 points in at most two hours!

What a terrifying rate of improvement.

Yet now, they were reduced to fleeing in a sorry state.

He didn't even know if they could find ten Alien Beasts again today.

"Chirp!"

A sharp cry interrupted Chen Fu's thoughts.

After all the remaining Man-Eating Ants had emerged from the hole, the Ant Queen saw that the demon had not chased them out, so she focused her attention on Ning Yuan and Chen Fu, whom she had seen earlier.

Her brain, which was only slightly smarter than a normal Man-Eating Ant, was instantly filled with rage.

Humans, those damned humans again!

The human in the hole was too strong, and she couldn't do anything about it, but surely she could kill two small fries?

"Swish, swish!"

No sooner said than done, the Man-Eating Ant army mobilized.

They chased after Chen Fu and Ning Yuan simultaneously!

"Don't chase me!"

Because Chen Fu was not Rank One, his speed was inferior to Ning Yuan's, so he was naturally the one caught first.

He was terrified out of his wits, with no time left for grief or indignation.

"Hide!"

At the critical moment, Chen Fu saw a sand pile not far away and activated his Martial Arts Talent again, diving into the sand pile within 10 seconds to escape the disaster.

"Chen Fu, save me!!"

Then the Ant Queen became even angrier.

There had been two humans for her to vent her anger on, and one had actually run away!

The Man-Eating Ant army accelerated, catching up to Ning Yuan in just a few seconds, forcing the latter to beg Chen Fu for help...

"It's over..."

Chen Fu, whose talent had not actually mutated, could only watch helplessly as Ning Yuan was caught by the Man-Eating Ants.

He was struck by several pincers and spat out blood.

Then, his whole body was plunged headfirst into a bush!

The critical issue was that Chen Fu's talent duration was almost up.

The sand pile was not like yesterday's abandoned building; once the duration expired, he would inevitably be discovered by the Ant Queen!

"Boom!"

However, at this moment, there was another rumbling sound from the hole behind them.

"Almost let you escape."

A young man rushed out of the hole.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he appeared above the nearest Man-Eating Ant and stomped its head to pieces with one foot.

"Hiss!!"

The Ant Queen, just proud of having defeated Ning Yuan, felt its fat body tremble again.

To intercept this demon, it ordered ten Man-Eating Ants to stay behind and cover the retreat.

It had only been a few minutes, and they were all dead?!

It hurriedly ordered a retreat, unable to care about the spoils of war it had just seized.

The youth pursued and killed without hesitation.

Every few dozen meters, a Man-Eating Ant corpse would be left behind!

"Ye Bai..."

"How is it Ye Bai again..."

Chen Fu had been hiding in a sand pile the whole time.

In truth, the duration of his talent had already expired, but he remained in a state of shock and confusion, unable to snap out of it.

Who else could the youth pursuing and killing from the tunnel be but Ye Bai?

He simply could not understand, how could it be Ye Bai?

He and Ning Yuan had left the city right as the gates opened; by what right did Ye Bai get a step ahead of them to find the Man-Eating Ant Nest underground?

Chen Fu would never imagine that the Man-Eating Ants had dug another exit a few dozen meters away.

He had cast the Attract Beast Powder on that side, and because this Man-Eating Ant Nest was massive, two Man-Eating Ants were actually attracted at the same time.

But because of the single passage, the Ant Queen's order to retreat only allowed one Man-Eating Ant to pass through; the other went to the other exit, and as luck would have it, bumped into the passing Ye Bai...

"Save, save me..."

Ning Yuan's cries for help pulled Chen Fu back to his senses.

Chen Fu hurriedly crawled out of the sand pile and found Ning Yuan in the bushes.

Ning Yuan's injuries this time were not as severe as yesterday's.

But they were not much better either.

The bandages on his chest had been torn to shreds, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices.

A world where only Ning Yuan gets injured had been achieved once again!

"Brother Yuan, it's me, I saved you again this time!"

Chen Fu rolled his eyes, not wanting to worry about Ye Bai's affairs for the moment.

The top priority was to survive, take the heavily injured Ning Yuan back to the city, and earn another reward!

Moreover, Ning Yuan had also killed five Man-Eating Ants, increasing his Qi and Blood by 25 points.

Although it didn't match the plan, one month might not be enough to catch up to Ye Bai.

But taking two months wouldn't be a big problem.

In this amount of time, it was impossible for Ye Bai to advance to a Second Grade Martial Artist!

"Such a familiar voice..."

"Who saved me..."

However, Chen Fu did not know that because Ning Yuan's injuries were not as severe this time, he had actually heard Ye Bai's voice...

Chen Fu bluntly claimed it was him who saved Ning Yuan again.

His subconscious told Ning Yuan that this was not the first time Chen Fu had lied!

He even had an intuition that both times he had been saved by the same benefactor...

Before being carried on Chen Fu's back, his chest pendant fell to the ground...

"Hm?"

"People left so quickly?"

Ten-plus minutes later.

Ye Bai returned, dragging the Man-Eating Ant corpses he had temporarily tied together with a vine.

Yet Ning Yuan had only been knocked into the bushes this time.

Chen Fu, hiding in the sand pile, became very conspicuous after his talent duration ended.

Before Ye Bai went to pursue and kill the fleeing ant colony, he had already discovered Ning Yuan and Chen Fu!

"Attract Beast Powder..."

"Just as I thought, those two also discovered the Man-Eating Ant Nest here."

The reason Ye Bai returned was simple: his actions had caused those two to be attacked by the ant colony, and one of them was likely not lightly injured.

He was also about to return to the city.

He didn't mind helping out and escorting them for a stretch.

"Is this the pendant left behind by those two?"

"Doesn't look cheap either..."

Then he discovered the pendant Ning Yuan had left behind...
