My ex-husband tricked me into the world of beasts. What's wrong with my stamp collecting?

Ling Zhong's depression was relieved a lot under Long Zhenzhen's gentle comfort. He looked up at his sister beside him who was carefully checking his injuries, and his heart was filled with warmth and touching.

Even his own mother, who was well-known in the tribe for being gentle and kind to males, had never been seen so gently treating the animal fathers in the family in his entire life.

Any male seriously injured during hunting is considered weak.

The females were generous enough not to scold or criticize him in person. Most males who encountered such situations would be rejected by the females, considered incompetent and unworthy of continuing their bloodline, and would most likely never receive the favor of females again.

Therefore, all males in the animal world hope to be stronger. For adult males, mating and the continuation of bloodline are more important than life.

Many beasts, like him, were severely injured and unable to recover, and were ultimately abandoned by their female companions. Males, however, accepted their fate, believing they were simply not strong enough, otherwise they wouldn't have been injured so easily. Therefore, being abandoned and given up was par for the course.

Lingzhong had been with Long Zhenzhen for so long that he already knew her personality and abilities very well, so abandoning him was out of the question. But would she think he was too weak and distance herself from him in the future?

With the strength of the third level and the ability of weak attack power, he had no highlights among his sister's beast servants. At this moment, Ling Zhong clearly realized his own gap.

But...but, what did my sister just say?

Are you saying that you should wait until you become strong enough to protect her?

Can he really do it?

How could Long Zhenzhen not see the cautiousness and anxious anticipation in Lingzhong's eyes? This child had even forgotten his own injuries, staring intently at him...

She sighed slightly in her heart, thinking that her brother had just become an adult, so she should be treated with more love and care.

After the wound treatment was completed, she raised her hand with a smile and poked the dimple on Lingzhong's cheek.

"Just take good care of yourself for a few days and you'll be fine. I love Lingzhong's cooking the most, so please get better soon!"

Lingzhong felt as if he heard the sound of nature - his sister did not dislike him, she said she liked the food he cooked the most.

That was enough. Nothing else mattered. He would train harder, fight harder, grow up, and one day he would be able to protect his sister well behind him...

Ming Cang's wound had not been treated yet. Long Zhenzhen pinched Ling Zhong's face twice, then stuffed another bamboo tube of spiritual spring into his hand and turned to Ming Cang.

Ming Cang's injuries were much lighter and the wounds were not deep. He must have been entangled by the gold-eating ants when he tried to rescue Ling Zhong.

Long Zhenzhen came over to check and found that Lingyun had already used his water-based abilities to help him clean up most of the mess.

However, Lingyun was only at the third level, and had only recently practiced the water-based healing technique. Helping Mingcang to stop the bleeding had already made him sweat on his forehead.

Long Zhenzhen patted Lingyun on the shoulder, motioning him to make way, and then sat next to Mingcang to treat him...

Of the three beasts, only Feng Yan, who had been flying in the air, was spared the gold-eating ants. These gold-eating ants were still of a lower rank and had not yet grown wings. If they had waited until they grew wings, it would have been difficult for the other beasts to escape.

After confirming that Feng Yan was intact, Long Zhenzhen finally had time to sit down and ask the three beasts in detail how they had provoked the gold-eating ants.

Yesterday they were near Huangpizipo and did not find any gold-eating ants' nests around. Could it be that the three of them went deeper into it today?

Long Zhenzhen asked and found out that the three beasts had continued to explore along the Huangpizi slope for a while today. However, on the way back, they found a hidden valley near the poisonous frog swamp and went in to explore.

Unexpectedly, the valley was full of bare rocks, with no vegetation at all and no wild animals were found.

Because they were concerned that Long Zhenzhen liked fresh varieties of plants and spiritual herbs, the three beasts began to search separately, hoping that there would be some different good things in this special environment.

Who knew that he did see the good stuff, but at the same time he also accidentally poked an ant's nest.

Lingzhong found a plant on a small hill. Its flowers and leaves emitted a faint golden light. He did not find any danger around it.

Seeing that the flower was blooming very beautifully and looked like a magical herb, he happily went over to pick it and take it back so that his sister could plant it in the space.

Unexpectedly, before his fingers touched the golden flower, a large group of golden ants swarmed up from the bottom of the hill.

Ling Zhong didn't recognize the gold-eating ants. Although he thought these ants looked much more mysterious than those outside, he had thick skin and flesh and could not be easily bitten by ants.

So he just held the vine in his palm as a precaution, and still prepared to pick the golden flower. The flower was so beautiful, and his sister would definitely like it.

But in the blink of an eye, the ants swarmed onto his feet, and the pain of being bitten by thousands of ants immediately came from the soles of his feet. Ling Zhong could only retract his hand and wave the vine, trying to disperse the golden ants, while wrapping his feet with wood-type spiritual power.

But he soon discovered that his attacks seemed to have little effect on these golden ants. When he pulled one group of ants away from his feet, another group would quickly rush up and submerge his feet again.

"Crack, click, click..."

He could even hear the tingling gnawing sounds in his ears. The ants were becoming more and more numerous, as if the entire hill was made up of ants...

The iron-eating beast roared angrily and waved its vine hard to drive away the ants. At the same time, it had to take big strides to escape towards the valley entrance where there were fewer ants.

Feng Yan and Ming Cang had found nothing at this time. When they heard a clear roar of a beast, they immediately recognized it as Ling Zhong's voice.

The two beasts didn't hesitate and immediately rushed towards Lingzhong's direction...

The ant colony was already chasing Ling Zhong, leaving behind a river-like trail.

Ming Cang and Feng Yan both saw that these ants were of the gold attribute. Ming Cang's earth-based ability attack could only stop these ants temporarily and had no significant killing power at all.

Fortunately, the fireballs released by Feng Yan's fire ability can still cause large-scale casualties to these ants, but the number of ants is huge and continuous.

After the two of them attacked together, they found that their killing speed could not keep up with the speed of the ants' advance, and Lingzhong was seriously injured and almost fell down, losing his ability to fight.

If he fell into this ant colony, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be. He was afraid that not even a complete bone would be left...

Ming Cang made a prompt decision, "Ling Zhong, transform into a human form and let Feng Yan take you away. I'll cover your retreat!"

In Ming Cang's opinion, his snake scales were thick and strong, and also highly poisonous, so it was completely possible for him to escape from these ants.

At the critical moment, Feng Yan and Ling Zhong did not hesitate and immediately carried out Ming Cang's plan.

Feng Yan transformed into a firebird, grabbed Ling Zhong's arms, and took advantage of the situation to use wind and fire to sweep away the dense layer of ants on Ling Zhong's body, burning them all to ashes...

In mid-air, Ling Zhong turned back to look at the golden flower with resentment, only to find a pink figure flash by, and the golden flower disappeared...
