Chapter 210: Flesh-Eating Flying Ants

Song Ce saw this and did not say much more, but whispered a few words to a Fourth-Rank barbarian warrior beside him wearing a black cloak; the cloaked barbarian warrior nodded repeatedly, then cast a resentful glance at Lv Fang, before leading all the barbarian tribes onward.

Their destination was the small barrier ahead in the distance.

The poison-mist land is invisible, colorless, and odorless when no one or poison mist appears, so the demon-barbarians suffered considerable losses when first entering the poison-mist land.

Therefore, the cloaked barbarian warrior led the barbarian tribes forward very cautiously, afraid of what kind of danger might suddenly appear.

Although they were clearly not far from the small barrier, they walked very slowly.

They encountered no danger along the way. Just at the moment a scouting barbarian was about to reach out and touch the mist surrounding the small barrier, a sudden change occurred—the surrounding space began to twist, and the small barrier and mist seemed to teleport into the distance.

A dense buzzing sound arose.

Before that barbarian could react, he let out a miserable scream and had already turned into a skeleton; at the same time, a large patch of black specks appeared in midair.

"Flesh-Eating Flying Ants! Fall back quickly!"

The cloaked barbarian warrior loudly warned, his body swiftly retreating backward.

Almost at the moment he fled backward, the three barbarians standing there were approached by that large swarm of "Flesh-Eating Flying Ants," and within a few breaths, only three skeletons remained in that spot.

Lv Fang stood not far away watching, witnessing with his own eyes a Fourth-Rank barbarian warrior being devoured into a skeleton by those Flesh-Eating Flying Ants.

It was also fortunate that the barbarians retreated quickly enough; otherwise, dozens of barbarians would likely have been wiped out there.

Don't be fooled by how a single tiny Flesh-Eating Shire Shire Fei Yi is as small as a real ant—it is actually a notorious Sixth-Rank exotic beast. Because they live in colonies, devouring a Fourth-Rank or higher barbarian is effortless for them.

Lv Fang had read books about exotic beasts, among which the habits of the "Flesh-Eating Flying Ants" were recorded; under normal circumstances, they would not gather together in such large numbers.

Around a hundred was already considered very large.

Now that large patch contained at least tens of thousands of Flesh-Eating Flying Ants—who seeing such a scene would not be alarmed?

They are extremely fast, immune to water and fire; although their bodies are small, transparent wings grow on their outsides, and once they sense danger, they will use those transparent wings to shield their bodies in advance.

Don't underestimate these transparent wings, for they are incomparably hard; especially the natural patterns on them can resist a very wide variety of powerful attacks.

The most terrifying thing is that there is also an Ant King among the Flesh-Eating Shire Shire Fei Yi swarm; it looks almost identical to ordinary flying ants, but it possesses strong spiritual intelligence—it is not only more formidable than ordinary flying ants, but can also command the swarm.

No one is willing to provoke a swarm of flying ants that has an Ant King.

Seeing the barbarians being chased away by the flying ant swarm, with several of the slower ones being devoured into skeletons, Song Ce's eyes narrowed and he subconsciously retreated a few steps.

Fortunately, this swarm of Flesh-Eating Flying Ants did not pursue to the death; once the barbarians fled beyond a certain range, they flew back and burrowed into the soil everywhere.

"These Flesh-Eating Flying Ants have territorial awareness; clearly this special place has given them more differences." Lv Fang thought to himself.

At this time, having lost nearly ten barbarians, the barbarian tribes finally retreated into a safe zone, each one showing a look of lingering fear.

Song Ce looked at Lv Fang expressionlessly and sneered: "You saw it, right? This is not the correct entrance into the barrier, just a trap. It's only been a short while and we've already encountered such a large swarm of Flesh-Eating Flying Ants."

"I believe the further we go, the more dangers we'll face."

"If you also want to find the entrance to the Lower Upper Realm, then give up on this path; I won't send any more barbarians to their deaths ahead."

As soon as his words fell.

The cloaked barbarian warrior angrily chimed in: "Exactly, our barbarian warriors won't go throw their lives away like this anymore. If you don't agree, then let them go scout the path ahead."

These words immediately won the barbarian tribes' approval; if gazes could kill, Lv Fang would probably have been killed countless times over by these furious barbarians.

Lv Fang said coldly: "I think this small barrier is the entrance to the Lower Upper Realm; otherwise, how could there be so many traps? Both the poison-mist land and the Flesh-Eating Shire Shire Fei Yi swarm ahead prove this point."

His purpose in saying this was mainly to continue letting the demon-barbarians go to their deaths; however, after saying it, his heart suddenly stirred—perhaps what he said was not wrong.

If it were just a trap path, it shouldn't require such elaborate arrangements.

Perhaps after overcoming one difficulty after another, the small barrier is the path into the Lower Upper Realm; this is really quite possible.

Song Ce pondered for a moment; he was no fool either. Disliking the Bai Yu eagle demon was one thing, but finding the Lower Upper Realm was another.

Hearing Lv Fang say this, he also thought it over and felt it wasn't entirely without reason, and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

He had already spoken his piece just now; how could he take it back now?

Lv Fang smiled faintly and said: "Let's set aside the grievances between us for now and join forces to explore this path. You contribute some of your men, I contribute some of mine—how about it?"

This was considered giving Song Ce a way out.

Moreover, even if this is the entrance leading to the Lower Upper Realm, facing all kinds of difficulties, as long as the demon-barbarians advance, many will inevitably die.

This was what Lv Fang was willing to see; the more enemies that died, the smaller the threat to him, until he found the right opportunity to wipe out all these demon-barbarians.

Even if he couldn't wipe them all out, he still had to make the demon-barbarians suffer heavy losses.

Lv Fang was not worried about the demon-barbarians finding the Lower Upper Realm; the demon-barbarian side clearly knew more about this Lower Upper Realm and attached great importance to it.

The fact that Song Ce could appear here also proved how unusual this place was.

Lv Fang had only been able to enter here thanks to Jiang Yuan's influence, so even if he killed all the demon-barbarians here now, there would still be a steady stream of demon-barbarians entering this place.

There would also be a steady stream of demon-barbarians exploring this path, and eventually the entrance to the Lower Upper Realm would still be found.

Therefore, he simply could not prevent this from happening.

But if he really could enter the Lower Upper Realm and find out what the demon-barbarians intended to do there, then he could sabotage it; this was absolutely the only good way to eradicate the trouble at its root.

Song Ce was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and glanced at Lv Fang; he had many thoughts now and had not at all expected that the Bai Yu eagle demon before him was fake. He felt that the words it spoke didn't quite seem like something its character would say, and assumed it was simply because of wanting to find the entrance to the Lower Upper Realm.

"Deal!"

Song Ce accepted Lv Fang's proposal; he had no reason to refuse.

As the demon-barbarian commander here, Lv Fang and Song Ce did not need to go scout the path ahead—they only needed to stay at the rear.

"What do you think? How do we get past the Flesh-Eating Shire Shire Fei Yi swarm ahead?"

Song Ce opened his mouth to ask.
