Chapter 86: Another Encounter With Ju Ri (1)
“Very good.” Leng Ruoxue was very satisfied with their answer.
“Quill, send her to Lunar Capital!” Leng Ruoxue summoned Quill.
“Yes, Master.” Quill threw Cong Min roughly onto his back and flew toward Lunar Capital.
“Miss, don’t be angry with that kind of person,” Feng Da comforted. The young lady was the god in their hearts. How could that kind of woman be so delusional as to compare herself with the young lady? She was really overestimating herself.
“How am I angry?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“Uh… Miss isn’t angry!” Feng Da quickly corrected himself.
“Xue’er, there’s a city after crossing this mountain,” Leng Qingtian said. As a general of a country, he was very familiar with the topography of the various countries. Although this Thousand Cry Mountain wasn’t easy to navigate through, dangers also meant opportunities.
“Grandpa, you and Big Brother should enter the Heaven and Earth Bracelet to rest tonight!” Leng Ruoxue said thoughtfully. It was very cold on the mountain, so she was worried about her brother’s health.
“There’s no need. Grandpa isn’t that useless!” Leng Qingtian said. It had been much more arduous when he led troops into battle.
“Feng Da, grill this for everyone.” Leng Ruoxue took out the meat of the water python that she killed in the Misty Woods.
“We have meat to eat only by following Miss!” Feng Da said happily. They had not eaten python meat for a long time and were missing it.
…
Two hours later, Quill returned.
“Big Brother Quill, thanks for the hard work. Come, have some meat.” Feng Da handed him a piece of grilled meat in an ingratiating manner.
“Thank you!” Quill unceremoniously began munching on the meat after transforming into a small bird.
“Ruoxue, what level of holy beast is your eagle? He’s so fast!” Elder Qiu said with envy. It was precisely because he knew that Ruoxue had such an eagle that he was in no hurry to rush along the way.
“Elder Qiu, Quill isn’t a holy beast.” Leng Ruoxue caressed Quill’s soft feathers.
“Not a holy beast? Then what is he? He can’t be a divine beast!” Elder Qiu joked with a smile.
“Quill is a divine beast,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently.
“…”
The food in Elder Qiu’s hand fell to the ground. His eyes widened as he circled around Quill in disbelief, and there seemed to be suspicious liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth.
“He’s actually a divine beast!” Elder Qiu murmured to himself. His eyes lit up as he stared hard at Quill. No wonder he couldn’t tell the level of this eagle. It turned out that this eagle was stronger than him. Wuuu… I suddenly feel so inferior.
“Old Qiu, my condolences!” Leng Qingtian comforted him. Luck was not something to be envious about.
While everyone was eating and chatting, a rustling sound came from the distance.
“What’s that sound?” Ye Chen asked cautiously.
“Master, it’s fire ants!” Charm listened carefully.
“What?”
“Fire ants?”
“How can there be fire ants here?” Everyone was puzzled, but no one was afraid. This was all thanks to Leng Ruoxue tormenting them during this period.
“Beloved Master, fire ants are so annoying!” Darling’s face was full of disgust.
Both humans and spirit beasts hated fire ants. Fire ants were also a type of spirit beasts, but they were very troublesome and destructive. The best way to deal with a group of fire ants was to run for your lives as soon as possible, or you would become food for the fire ants once they entangled you. An entire fire ant colony was led by a fire ant king, and the fire ants in the colony were only at elementary and intermediate spirit beasts except for the fire ant king. They had yet to develop intelligence and only knew how to eat, and anything could become their food.
“Do any of you want to contract with the fire ant king?” Leng Ruoxue asked everyone while caressing Darling’s soft fur comfortably.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
“Miss, who would want to contract such a disgusting thing!” Lin Yuan was so disgusted that his hair stood on end.
“You have to think carefully. Contracting a fire ant king is equivalent to owning a fire ant army!” Leng Ruoxue reminded them out of goodwill.
“C-Can I contract it?” whispered Liu Yan, the student of the alchemist division. Although he was an alchemist, his level as a spiritualist was very low. His ability to protect himself would improve dramatically with a fire ant colony.
“Sure.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the delicate and pretty Liu Yan and had a good impression of this student.
As they were discussing, a dense swarm of fire ants had already surrounded them.
Crack! Crack!
Leng Ruoxue’s scalp was tingling as she looked at the red ants that were half the height of a human and had pincers raised high with sharp fangs. No wonder even level nine holy beasts are unwilling to provoke these guys. They are indeed annoying. But where is the fire ant king?
“All of you, step back,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“Get onto my back!” Quill said as he suddenly enlarged in the air.
Everyone climbed onto Quill’s back to prevent Leng Ruoxue from being distracted.
“Xue’er, you have to be careful!” Leng Ruohan shouted worriedly.
“Xue’er, Grandpa will help you!” Leng Qingtian stood beside his granddaughter. How could he let his precious granddaughter fight alone!
“And me!” Ye Chen stood on Leng Ruoxue’s other side.
“You’ll take on the fire ant king when it comes out!” Leng Ruoxue said to Ye Chen.
“Alright, leave that big ant to me.”
“Grandpa, let’s begin!”
“Okay. These old bones of mine haven’t exercised for a long time,” Leng Qingtian said as he rubbed his palms together.
Leng Ruoxue rushed into the ant colony with her sharp sword in hand. She used the Meteor Sword Technique’s Blazing Tree Silver Flower, and countless sparks shot toward the fire ant colony like stars. A third of the fire ants instantly died, and countless were injured.
Leng Qingtian didn’t want to be outdone. He unleashed his most powerful fire-element heavenly spiritual skill, ‘Blazing Flame Blaze Era’. A sky full of flames charged at the fire ant colony, and another third of them instantly died.
“Amazing!” The people standing on Quill’s back stared at the one-sided battle with their mouths agape. This was the first time many people saw Leng Ruoxue fight apart from the earlier selection competition. With the addition of the heroic, invincible, and famous General Leng, it was conceivable how shocking this battle led by the grandfather and granddaughter combination was to them.
