Lu Chuan immediately vibrated his whole body with spiritual energy, and when the shield was broken, he shook off all the ants and insects that were wrapped in it. Looking at the ants and insects that kept flying over his head and around him, Lu Chuan could only fly to the side with his sword to dodge.

But dense swarms of insects continued to gather around, and seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, Lu Chuan showed anxiety in his eyes, but then he seemed to have made up his mind. He flew to a relatively weak point in the encirclement and continuously input spiritual power into the spirit sword in his hand until the spirit sword made a clicking sound and cracks appeared on the sword body. Then he stopped and swung the spirit sword.

A huge sword beam, ten feet wide and five feet long, appeared and slashed down at the ant colony at a high speed with great power.

A loud bang was heard, and a deep sword mark appeared on the ground. Wherever the sword passed, the ant colony was directly chopped into pieces, and a large gap was exposed in the encirclement. Lu Chuan threw away the broken sword in his hand, which was only the hilt left, and immediately flew through at high speed.

At this time, Lu Chuan's face was pale, and it was obvious that his spiritual power was over-consumed. The full-strength attack just now made the injuries caused by his previous breakthrough in realm aggravated. Feeling that his cultivation had obviously regressed, Lu Chuan was very angry. Not only did he not gain anything from this trip, but he suffered huge losses. Thinking that Zhang Chen might have been buried in the belly of the worm, he still couldn't eliminate his anger.

Lu Chuan broke out of the encirclement and rushed outside, but there were still many ants and insects attacking him from the trees he passed by. Lu Chuan did not dare to get entangled. Looking at the ant colony chasing him at a high speed, he had to increase the output of spiritual power, which increased the speed of the spiritual sword under his feet.

They quickly rushed out of the forest. Lu Chuan did not dare to stop, and insisted on rushing out of the valley for a mile before he stopped shakily. He immediately shook off several ants and insects on his body that he had not had time to deal with. Feeling his body gradually numb, Lu Chuan was not worried. He just took out a healing pill and a pill to replenish spiritual power, and then took them respectively, and then sat cross-legged to practice.

Zhang Chen was blocked by dense tree roots underground and had difficulty moving. He just heard a loud noise coming from above his head. Zhang Chen knew that Lu Chuan had a battle with the ant colony. He was even more afraid to go out and waited quietly. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, he quietly stuck his head out, only to see the dead bodies of ants all over the ground.

Occasionally, a group of ants crawled by not far away. Zhang Chen held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make any sound. After careful observation, Zhang Chen found that the ants at the bottom of the tree seemed to have left, and only near the top of the tree were there densely packed ants lurking.

Then Zhang Chen began to quietly collect insect corpses and smeared the mucus on his body in an attempt to cover up his own smell. When his body was basically covered with the mucus, he looked around and did not dare to return the same way, so he chose to walk to a relatively safe place on the left. However, Zhang Chen did not know that he was walking towards the center of the forest.

Zhang Chen walked very slowly, not daring to make any sound for fear of disturbing the ants on the treetops above him. He walked for an hour without any danger, but the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. The forest became denser and the sense of crisis became stronger.

In particular, Zhang Chen saw an open area of ​​more than ten meters in the woods in front of him. There was no tree at all. On the ground was a "castle" several dozen meters high made of earth. Densely packed ants and insects were going in and out of the castle, and the ants and insects near that place were obviously more than twice as large as those outside.

"Is this their nest?"

Zhang Chen's face changed drastically. He was already extremely nervous, and now his back was soaked with fear.

He was extremely panicked and immediately prepared to retreat, but at this moment he heard a rustling sound behind him. Zhang Chen became nervous and immediately used the Earth Trap Technique to hide himself.

But as soon as he got underground, he found something wrong. Zhang Chen found that there were head-sized holes everywhere. It seemed that the ground here had been drilled through by a colony of ants, and occasionally a group of ants would pass through the holes.

Zhang Chen originally wanted to get away from this place underground, but there were tree roots everywhere. It was unknown how long this forest had been there, and the roots had long penetrated the entire underground, rendering Zhang Chen's earth escape technique ineffective.

Zhang Chen could only stay where he was and watch what happened. Feeling the ants crawling over his head, Zhang Chen's heart began to tighten, fearing that he would be discovered.

But the reality went against one's wishes. The more one fears something, the more it will come. As all the animals in the forest had long been eaten by the ants, the ants started digging holes everywhere underground in search of food. At this time, a dozen ants happened to drill next to Zhang Chen.

Looking at Zhang Chen's size, they thought they had found food, and excitedly raised their sharp jaws and came towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen had no choice. It was difficult to hide in this place, so he could only take out his magic sword. He didn't dare to use his spiritual energy. He relied on the sharpness of the magic sword to kill the dozen or so ants.

But soon more and more ants followed the scent of their companions and found Zhang Chen, and then attacked him. Zhang Chen was exhausted from dealing with them underground and was forced to jump out. However, looking at the black masses of ants all around him, Zhang Chen looked as pale as death.

Soon, the overwhelming swarm of ants attacked Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen did not want to sit there and wait for death, so he took out his magic sword and kept swinging it around. However, there were too many ants and he could not stop them at all. The sword only caused a few ripples when it slashed through the swarm.

Seeing that the swarm of insects was approaching, Zhang Chen put away his magic sword, condensed a fireball with his hands, and exploded it around himself, forming a fire circle with a diameter of one meter.

Soon the ant colony came close. Zhang Chen could clearly see the ants waving their sharp mandibles, the fangs in their mouths opening and closing, and a strong fishy smell filled the air.

The ants seemed a little afraid of the fire circle in front of them. They kept circling around it, staring at Zhang Chen. The ants seemed to be afraid of the fire. Zhang Chen kept condensing fireballs to keep the fire circle from going out, but Zhang Chen knew that it was futile. The spiritual energy in his body could not last much longer. The swarm of insects only hesitated slightly.

Soon the swarm of insects seemed to lose their patience, and the swarm of insects outside the fire circle rushed in instantly. Zhang Chen smiled bitterly, not expecting that he would be trapped in his own web and really die here.

"Father, mother, please forgive me for being unfilial."

Zhang Chen looked at the swarm of insects rushing to his feet and gave up resisting. The images of his parents appeared in his mind and tears flowed down his face unconsciously.

Soon, his whole body was crawling with ants and insects. The swarm of insects opened their upper jaws and bit Zhang Chen's body fiercely, while mucus was secreted from their mouths. Zhang Chen first felt severe pain all over his body, but the pain soon disappeared. It was not just the pain that disappeared, it seemed that his entire body had lost consciousness, except for his head. It seemed that his body no longer belonged to him and he could not feel anything at all. Zhang Chen could not stand and fell directly to the ground.

Zhang Chen looked at the swarm of insects covering his body with fear in his heart. He had prepared himself for death, thinking that he would die instantly, but it seemed that he was going to be eaten alive, and he had to watch it with his own eyes.

"Oh my God, is this karma, that I have to die so cruelly?"
