Chapter 364 Dragons and Ants, Chu Tian's Reason for Excitement

Chu Tian saw that in just a few moves, Old Yang’s saber had already blunted.

He finally understood that this golden-colored creature all over.

Was not an ant at all, but rather clumps of highly dense alloy.

More and more gold-devouring ants attacked Old Yang.

Old Yang had no choice but to retreat and block.

These ants, layer upon layer, actually formed a wave-like attack pattern.

“Old Yang, where’s your gun?”

Chu Tian saw his clumsy swordsmanship.

And suddenly remembered that he had once given him a dark, black spear.

He hadn’t seen Old Yang carrying it for the past few days, so he had forgotten.

“I stuck it in the ground that night and can’t find it!”

Chu Tian knew he was referring to the night the meteor fell.

“Here…”

Chu Tian found a gun-shaped weapon in his backpack.

This was a dark gold-grade weapon.

It was the weapon of a Survival Hunter from the Slaughterer faction.

Originally, Chu Tian had kept it, planning to exchange it for something good the next time he met [Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang].

But now, he had no choice. What was the use of high value if life was lost?

Old Yang reached out and took it. The weapon was shaped like a giant dragon sailing out to sea.

The spearhead extended from the dragon’s mouth.

The entire spear shaft resembled the body of a giant dragon.

It was covered with bumpy points like dragon scales.

These provided a non-slip grip.

When Chu Tian took it out, he knew that in this world.

Weapons had weight, unlike in the Heavenly Dao world.

Where any weapon held in hand felt insubstantial.

Unless your strength was insufficient, which would prompt a message: unable to lift.

The weight of this weapon could not compare to his Moon God’s Wrath.

The moment Old Yang’s hands grasped the spear, his entire body trembled.

He seemed to transform into an entirely different person.

With a flick of the spear, it shot out like a spirit snake emerging from its den.

All the gold-devouring ants that approached him were sent flying.

A few were even touched by Old Yang’s spear tip.

And exploded directly.

“Good spear…”

Old Yang couldn’t help but exclaim.

He was well aware of the hardness of the gold-devouring ants.

If it wasn’t a divine weapon, it would be impossible to penetrate their defense.

This oddly shaped spear in his hand could completely be classified as a divine weapon.

At the same time, he was inwardly astonished.

Where did this kid Chu Tian get so many weapons?

It was known that on the Sea of Death, all blacksmiths were concentrated in the four cities.

Furthermore, iron ore was extremely scarce, and smelting technology was backward.

Even a common iron weapon was a symbol of strength.

For many years, he had used stone tools when he was with the Butcher tribe.

Even the silver spear he used in the City of Forgotten Ones.

Was just an iron spear.

That was something coveted by others.

With a suitable weapon, Old Yang became incredibly fierce.

For a time, he managed to withstand the wave-like attacks of the ant swarm.

However, more and more gold-devouring ants were gathering from afar.

Old Yang’s pressure grew.

Such gregarious creatures could not ultimately be resisted by human strength.

*Clack clack clack… bang…*

Suddenly, a huge sound came from afar.

On the edge of Chu Tian’s spiritual perception.

A colossal creature broke through the soil layer.

Its two claws stretched out.

That *bang…*

Was the sound of its two claws hitting the ground.

Chu Tian, with his hand on the ignition key, was stunned.

What was this thing? Just its head alone was thirty meters…

This creature looked extremely similar to the mole crickets on Blue Star.

It had many names: mole cricket, earth cricket, heaven's mole, earth dog, and so on.

The names varied in different regions.

However… Chu Tian had lived this long.

This was the first time he had seen such a massive mole cricket.

He already felt surprised by these ants that could punch.

The Death Giant Scorpion, seven or eight meters, was already quite large, wasn’t it?

But something with a head over thirty meters.

Could you believe it?

“Chu Tian… they are migrating, and we’ve blocked their path.”

“If they go out to forage, even the ant king’s guards will come.”

“This means the gold-devouring ant king is nearby, and we need to hurry and escape.”

“How much longer until yours is ready? That thing is not something we can deal with.”

Old Yang also saw the behemoth.

At this moment, its entire body had emerged.

*Bang…* As Old Yang finished speaking.

A giant head broke through the ground.

“Get in the car…”

Chu Tian opened the car door, got into the driver’s seat, started the engine, put it in gear, and floored the accelerator…

All in one fluid motion…

“What the hell…”

Old Yang saw that Chu Tian hadn’t waited for him at all; this thing called a car had already started moving.

He quickly swept his spear out.

The spear drew an arc of light, pushing back the wave of ants that was attacking.

Then he turned and ran.

“Old Yang… hurry up!”

Chu Tian stuck his head out the car window and yelled at Old Yang!

“You bastard, wait for me!”

Old Yang shouted as he ran.

“Wait… wait for what? If you tell me that thing can’t fly, I’ll wait for you…”

Chu Tian pointed behind him.

“Damn… it can’t fly, it really can’t fly…”

Old Yang looked back and saw the ant king’s guard shake its body.

And then it began to move. Its speed was no slower than the small ants on the ground.

But fortunately, just as it moved.

All the gold-devouring ants, like a tide, scattered to both sides.

Chu Tian saw this as a good opportunity. This way, they wouldn’t have to slow down to pick up Old Yang and get their car’s rear end gnawed by the gold-devouring ants.

However, his eyes rolled, and he shouted.

“It really can’t fly?”

Chu Tian knew that mole crickets on Blue Star could fly.

“Really…” Old Yang ran desperately.

“Oh… then you can’t boss me around anymore, and you can’t stop me from eating lunch!”

He was naturally referring to the time Old Yang didn’t let him eat when they were training by pulling steel plates.

“You little brat, so you’re holding a grudge…”

“Not letting you eat was for your own good… to maximize the potential of muscle power…”

“Oh?” Chu Tian asked with a hint of disbelief, “Really?”

“Really, really…” Old Yang was clearly anxious.

Chu Tian pressed the clutch, and the car gradually slowed down.

He said, “Alright, I’ll believe you this time!”

Old Yang got into the car, but the gold-devouring ants, although they had dispersed to the sides.

Still followed behind him.

Suddenly, a hint of green light flashed in Chu Tian’s eyes.

A mysterious pressure swept out.

Azure Dragon Deterrence…

*Hummm…*

Old Yang suddenly felt a palpitation, accompanied by a faint dragon’s roar in his ears.

The gold-devouring ants, which were only a few meters away from catching up, suddenly braked.

Those behind crashed into the rows in front.

And were instantly thrown into chaos.

Next, Chu Tian floored the accelerator.

The Paramount Marauder suddenly accelerated.

The powerful G-force pressed Old Yang into his seat.

“Heh heh…”

Chu Tian turned back and smiled at him.

Old Yang knew he had been tricked by this kid.

“What was that ability of yours? Why didn’t you use it earlier? You even let me go fight them.”

Chu Tian gave him a side-eye and said, “Use it earlier? Then you wouldn’t have had a chance to get in the car.”

When Old Yang heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He thought about how those little creatures were all controlled by the ant king, without any thoughts of their own. Chu Tian’s ability would only have a disruptive effect.

If he had used it earlier, he feared that the second time he used it, it would indeed be as he said, ineffective.

This Chu Tian, who appeared carefree and like a reckless youth.

Turned out not to be brainless after all.

However, Chu Tian, who was accelerating towards Nie Yun’s direction, felt guilty in his heart: If it weren’t for the little female dragon inside the egg reminding him, he would have forgotten about this skill.

But the effect was indeed as Old Yang thought; it was effective when used suddenly.

If used again, it would likely be immune to these ants without their own thoughts.

And that little green dragon had actually told Chu Tian.

That these gold-devouring ants possessed a trace of dragon bloodline.

This surprised him greatly.

Could these ants and dragons hybridize?

Soon, Nie Yun and her daughter, who were still fleeing,

Heard a honking sound from behind.

It was Chu Tian, incessantly honking the horn.

He even stuck half his body out and waved at them.

Nie Yun saw Chu Tian in this strange box.

And stopped.

Old Yang opened the car door and, as he passed them,

Scooped up her and her daughter.

*Bang… bang… bang…*

In the distance, the ant king’s guard had already overtaken the gold-devouring ants.

With heavy steps, it was pursuing Chu Tian.

Although this fellow was clumsy.

Its strides were enormous.

And its speed actually far exceeded the Paramount Marauder’s top speed.

As soon as Nie Yun and the others got in the car.

Chu Tian glanced at the rear and said.

“Hold on tight…”

His tone carried a hint of excitement.

Old Yang and Nie Yun were both puzzled, why was he excited at a time like this?

The next moment, Chu Tian opened a flip cover next to the gear shifter.

Inside were ten red buttons.
