Godslayer: At the start, the power of the Five Elements transforms into Iron Fist Tiger.

For a moment, the paper figures who had watched their companion die stood frozen in place. However, the next second, the paper figures, having recovered, disregarded the powerful aura emanating from the Flame Crane. Each paper figure's two empty, dark eyes stared resentfully at the Flame Crane.

A sinister chill emanated from the Flame Crane's body, and the next moment, towering flames erupted from its surface, hurtling straight towards a group of paper figures.

Whoohoo!

In an instant, the numerous paper figures were unable to escape the flames of the Flaming Crane. They were all set ablaze, emitting invisible screams.

"Burn!" the Flame Crane roared, and all the paper figures that were set ablaze were burned to death, turning into wisps of yin energy that slowly flew into the forest.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiye and the others on the other side were not staying either. They wrapped the blood-red giant ant in their arms and each of them used a knife to cut the giant ant until it could not move.

"Brother Yue, what should we do?" Lin Qiye, who was seeing this strange situation for the first time, was at a loss and could only ask Ling Yue for his opinion.

"Let's rest first and figure out how to find the giant ant's nest tomorrow." Ling Yue looked up at the sky, which had become completely gloomy. Whether they chased after the swarm of yin energy or searched for the ant's nest, it would be very disadvantageous for Lin Qiye and the others.

"I agree with Brother Yue's idea!" Baili Pangpang, finally energized, kicked the giant ant to vent his frustration and seconded the suggestion.

"It's just a pity about those paper figures..." An Qingyu sighed. He had finally fallen for them, but he lost so completely.

Of course, he didn't come away empty-handed this time. At least he learned that the paper figures were probably still alive, otherwise he would have been left with nothing instead of turning into a wisp of strange gas and flying into the forest.

"Let's rest. I brought tents with me." With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen tents of various sizes appeared on the open ground in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Baili Pangpang's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of food and tableware appeared next to the tent.

"I just happened to bring some food with me!"

Seeing these two wealthy men being so generous, Lin Qiye suddenly felt a pang of sadness, not because he was moved, but because he was jealous.

“I’ll take a group of one, and you two will take turns keeping watch. Yue Ge and Ning Bing are the strongest, so let them rest.”

After finishing their meal, Lin Qiye began assigning tasks, and once he confirmed that there were no objections, he began his night watch.

On the other side, Ningbing emerged from her individual tent, peering left and right to confirm that Lin Qiye was keeping watch ahead while the others slept in their tents. Her target then turned to Ling Yue's tent.

Beside the campfire, Lin Qiye, who was constantly using mental detection, smiled slightly, then opened his eyes and stopped using mental detection.

"Ningbing?!" Inside the tent, Ling Yue, who was almost asleep, opened his eyes after sensing a familiar presence and was shocked to see Ningbing sneaking in!

"Master, I...I'm afraid of the cold." Ningbing thought for a moment, then crossed her arms and looked at Ling Yue pitifully.

"The tent is warm, and you're a Fire Dragon, so you're not afraid of the cold at all." Ling Yue opened his eyes slightly and ruthlessly exposed Ning Bing's lie.

"I... I'm afraid of the dark. I can't sleep without my master next to me." Ningbing gritted her teeth and turned her clever mind again, this time her red vertical pupils were already filled with tears.

However, Ling Yue remained expressionless: "If you can't sleep, then don't. Don't disturb my sleep. Anyway, it's fine if you don't sleep."

"Waaaaah~ Master, Ningbing wants to warm your bed, Ningbing wants to hug Master while sleeping!" Finally, Ningbing stopped hiding her purpose and lay down with lightning speed, her weight of over 100 pounds pressing down on Ling Yue.

"Damn it! Get out of my way!" Startled by Ning Bing's action, Ling Yue quickly reacted and, in order to protect his title as a Sigma man, tried to push Ning Bing away.

However, in response to Ling Yue's action, Ning Bing not only disobeyed, but also pressed down on Ling Yue's body and moved wildly, preventing Ling Yue from pushing her away.

Thump thump!

Ling Yue felt an indescribable sensation, and his body felt a surge of heat.

A cunning glint flashed in Ningbing's eyes, and then her restless body suddenly stopped, her pair of red vertical pupils silently watching Ling Yue.

Ningbing, who was pressing down on Ling Yue, leaned close to his ear, her red lips parted slightly, and a fragrant breath wafted onto Ling Yue's ear: "Master~ I remember that the most intimate action between humans and their loved ones is this kind of thing, right~"

"Holy crap!!" Hearing and feeling the heat on his ear, Ling Yue's breathing and heartbeat became more rapid. A most primal human desire quickly took over Ling Yue's consciousness, but Ling Yue still retained a sliver of rationality.

"You forced me to do this!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yue used his body to forcefully push the icy energy back to the ground, now pressing her body onto the soft mat. After all, Ling Yue preferred to be proactive rather than passive.

uh~

Ling Yue pressed Ning Bing down, instinctively and skillfully covering Ning Bing's mouth.

The two then began to roll rapidly, from the left side of the tent to the right, from top to bottom. Considering the current situation, both Ling Yue and his companion were still wearing clothes, though they were somewhat disheveled.

Just then, Lin Qiye's voice suddenly came from outside:

"Someone's there, be alert!" Lin Qiye, standing outside, stared intently ahead, silently apologizing to Ling Yue and Ning Bing in his heart.

The footsteps outside stopped abruptly upon hearing Lin Qiye's voice, hesitated for a moment, and then continued walking towards them.

Inside the tent, Ling Yue carefully straightened Ning Bing's clothes and gave her a big hug.

"Uh~"

Ningbing blushed, then looked at Ling Yue with resentment, but did not stop him from retaliating.

"I'll deal with you when I have time later!" Ling Yue whispered in Ning Bing's ear, then opened the tent and crawled out.

Finally, after seeing Ling Yue leave, Ning Bing collapsed onto the tent, her face flushed and looking incredibly alluring. At the same time, her rapid breathing continued, indicating that she had been severely punished by Ling Yue.

"Who is it?!" Ling Yue shouted as he stepped out of the tent. He felt a mix of emotions towards the person who had suddenly appeared, but mostly gratitude. After all, it was definitely not appropriate for him to put on a live sex show in front of so many people.

At this moment, Baili Pangpang, Shen Qingzhu and the others also came out and looked out of the woods.

"You really came..." As the footsteps drew closer, Li Deyang walked over, looking at everyone with a complicated expression.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he saw the giant, blood-red ant that was bound all over.

"What is this!?" Li Deyang's face showed surprise, and his voice became a little louder.

"This is... the prey we caught." Lin Qiye scratched his head awkwardly, then a flash of inspiration struck him, and he spoke up.

Li Deyang was stunned for a moment, then looked around at everyone, completely unaware that Ning Bing was missing.

"Do you...think I'm stupid?"
