Chapter 390: Team Rout

This palm was like a steel clamp, freezing the Titan Ant's horns at a position one inch from Wu Shuang's chest.

"Th... thank you." Wu Shuang felt as if he had been granted amnesty, immediately showing an expression of surviving a disaster.

Li Chao patted him on the shoulder and laughed heartily: "We're all brothers in one team, no need to thank me."

After saying this, he exerted force suddenly and threw this Titan Ant away.

And the position where the Titan Ant landed was exactly in front of Chen Fan.

"Hmm?" Chen Fan frowned slightly.

"Is he trying to test my strength?" Chen Fan instantly understood Li Chao's idea.

He wasn't surprised. He claimed to be sent by Dragon Venerable to carry out a mission. If he only had Tier 6 mid-stage strength, this wouldn't make sense.

So, rather than being secretive, it was better to show off a few moves generously.

Only in this way could he better dispel the other party's doubts.

Chen Fan sneered in his heart, but his hand movements were extremely fast.

He punched out, and his fist landed on the Titan Ant's face.

The exoskeleton, comparable to alloy, was pierced by Chen Fan with one punch.

This Copper-Skinned Titan Ant flew backward like a cannonball and instantly lost its breath.

Clap, clap, clap! Applause came.

"Brother Zhang, amazing! I said it, how could someone favored by that person only have Tier 6 strength." Li Chao clapped his hands and laughed out loud. Only at this moment did he completely let down his guard.

"Compared to Brother Li, my strength is still far behind." Chen Fan pretended to be humble.

"I don't think so!" Li Chao smiled mysteriously, "Brother Zhang, my intuition tells me you are very dangerous!"

"Brother Li is overpraising me."

The conversation between the two didn't deliberately lower their voices to avoid everyone.

They were already at the back of the crowd, and the great battle in the ant tunnel had long since broken out completely, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves.

Besides, so what if it aroused suspicion?

Now they had separated from the main force, and at worst, they could kill everyone else.

Of course, this was Li Chao's idea, but in front of Li Chao, Chen Fan also had to show contempt for others.

Otherwise, how could it fit the identity of the Beast Worship Cult?

Fortunately, Chen Fan's teammates were lucky. The surroundings were full of the roars of Titan Ants and the rumbling sound of mountain stones shattering in the great battle, so no one paid attention to the two of them at such a tense moment.

Li Chao seemed a bit disappointed by this.

At this time, Wu Shuang, who had escaped death, recovered and ran to the side of the two.

"Big brother, thank you for saving me." He performed extremely fawningly.

He thought very well; Li Chao's strength was extraordinary, and he was so helpful, so following Li Chao would naturally be safer.

However, Li Chao's next words almost made his cerebellum atrophy.

"How do you want to thank me?"

"I..." Wu Shuang was speechless for a time; this was something he hadn't expected at all.

"Give me your head as a thank-you gift." Li Chao grinned.

"What?" Wu Shuang was stunned, and the next moment, his pupils widened instantly.

Immediately after, his head was bitten off in one bite.

A headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, but it didn't cause any ripples.

Chen Fan's pupils contracted.

Just a moment ago, he saw Li Chao's head transform into an incredibly terrifying evil dog head!

This dog head was like the head of a hellhound, pitch black as ink, with violent teeth and fangs, extremely terrifying.

Chen Fan also saw Li Chao bite off Wu Shuang's head and chew it casually a few times before swallowing it into his belly, and then he returned to his original appearance.

All this happened in less than half a second.

But Chen Fan still recognized Li Chao's ability: SS-level Beast Transformation Ability—Three-Evil Demon Dog.

It is said that the head of the Three-Evil Demon Dog has a total of three forms, and each form of the head has different abilities. And the head Li Chao just showed was pitch black as ink, with sharp teeth and blood-red eyes.

This head corresponds to the ability of Swallowing Matter and Transforming Essence!

It is to be able to convert what is swallowed into one's own energy!

Chen Fan was slightly surprised and then joked: "Brother Li, you have a good appetite."

Li Chao touched the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth casually and smiled evilly: "A little hobby, Brother Zhang doesn't need to mind."

After saying this, his gaze looked toward the depths of the ant tunnel.

"Brother Zhang, this ant tunnel is unusual!"

"How so?" Chen Fan killed a Copper-Skinned Titan Ant with one punch and asked casually.

"I also have some understanding of Wan Sui Mountain. Normally, there shouldn't be so many Titan Ants in each ant tunnel."

"So what does Brother Li mean?"

"This ant tunnel of ours might lead directly to the Ant King's nest!"

"Ant King's nest? Not the Ant Emperor's nest?" Chen Fan stopped his movements and was slightly surprised.

Li Chao chuckled, "The Ant Emperor's nest is generally located in the most core position, and several or even a dozen fake nests will be scattered around it, and these fake nests are called Ant King's nests!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but feel suspicious. It seemed that the Beast Worship Cult had prepared a lot for this operation.

He asked: "So the purpose of the Ant King's nest is to confuse invaders?"

"Far more than that!" Li Chao explained while dealing with the Titan Ants rushing up: "The Ant King's nest is also a barrier for the Ant Emperor's nest. Enemies who want to break into the Ant Emperor's nest must cross the Ant King's nest!"

"The Ant King's nest is inhabited by numerous Jade-Skinned Titan Ants, which is a dragon's pool and tiger's den. Even if the enemy breaks through it and rushes to the Ant Emperor's nest, the forces in other Ant King's nests will support the Ant Emperor's nest from all directions!"

"And the Ant King's nest is also a semi-finished Ant Emperor's nest. Once the Ant Emperor's nest is destroyed, the ant swarm can quickly transform the Ant King's nest into a new Ant Emperor's nest."

With Li Chao's explanation, the shock in Chen Fan's heart grew greater and greater, and he couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the Titan Ants!

At the same time, he also figured out the reason why Ji Yuan let 5,000 people break into Wan Sui Mountain from various cave entrances.

In this way, each team can contain and consume the power of the Ant King's nest from all directions, so that they won't be attacked from both sides when attacking the Ant Emperor's nest.

"What a calculation! But I'm afraid many people will die!" Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Fan thought of a problem: I'm afraid many people will mistake the Ant King's nest for the Ant Emperor's nest. At that time, after lighting the Extreme Guidance Incense, the teams located on the ant tunnels radiated from this Ant King's nest will think they have discovered the Ant Emperor's nest and will launch a crazy attack.

However, after they take down the nest and prepare to divide the Glazed Ant Wax, they will find that it is a joy in vain.

Chen Fan believed that Ji Yuan must also know about the existence of the Ant King's nest, but he concealed it, in order to consume the power of the entire ant nest with human lives.

"Such a person, once he becomes a high-level human, is absolutely a tragedy for humanity!" Chen Fan sneered in his heart, and his idea of killing Ji Yuan became even firmer.

At this time, casualties began to appear among the humans in the ant tunnel. A Golden-Skinned Titan Ant sprayed ant acid from its mouth, directly dissolving a Tier 6 ability user on the spot.

Other Titan Ants also began to spray ant acid crazily. The ant acid flew everywhere in the ant tunnel. Everyone had to dodge the splashing ant acid while fighting the Titan Ants. It is imaginable how difficult this is.

Especially the Golden-Skinned Titan Ants, their ant acid falls on people and easily corrodes a piece of flesh.

Of course, even if they use weapons to resist, it is of no avail. Not long after, many people's weapons were corroded and rusty.

The ant acid in the air could no longer be isolated by the masks. The ability users with low strength coughed violently and began to flee for their lives toward the ant tunnel exit.

"Don't run, everyone kill the Titan Ants for me!" Han Liang fought a Golden-Skinned Titan Ant while crazily scolding those who were running away.

But it was of no avail.

After a while, except for Chen Fan and Li Chao, all other non-military ability users chose to flee the ant tunnel. ===== CHAPTER 391 =====
