Advanced fierce beast?
Hearing Elder Hong's words, everyone present felt their hearts lurch.
If it were just an ordinary advanced fierce beast, they wouldn't have cared. Elder Hong, a Grandmaster, would have been enough to deal with it.
But if the advanced fierce beast was a divine power ant, the situation would be different.
Because of the divine power ant's special talent, it possessed a High-grade Strength attribute!
Coupled with the divine power ant's innate bloodline, the power its physical body could unleash was absolutely not to be underestimated.
It was comparable to transcendent martial artists above the Grandmaster level.
"We can't win. If we stay, we'll be annihilated. We have to run!" Ye Ningze reacted quickly upon hearing this.
He kicked away a mid-grade divine power ant blocking his path, then turned and sprinted backward.
Triple Speed talent, fully activated!
Ye Ningze's speed was originally the same as an ordinary Grandmaster martial artist.
But with his speed talent activated, Ye Ningze's current speed could completely match that of a Grandmaster martial artist.
From the moment Elder Hong discovered the advanced divine power ant to it truly emerging from the cave and appearing before everyone,
The entire process took less than a few minutes.
But in such a short time, Ye Ningze had already run over a thousand meters away.
Seeing that he had put some distance between them, Ye Ningze breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could exhale, something unexpected happened.
Ye Ningze found that the pressure in the air had increased significantly, which restricted his speed.
His original triple speed boost was now only less than thirty percent.
"What's going on?"
Ye Ningze sensed that something was wrong and quickly turned his head.
He saw a twenty-meter-long, pale purple divine power ant hovering in the air not far behind him, near the cave.
As the leader of this nest of divine power ants, its color was different from the black of the mid-grade fierce beasts.
Even the space around its physical body vaguely emanated a visible aura of majesty.
Ye Ningze understood that the reason his speed was restricted was the influence of this advanced fierce beast's talent.
The strength talent of high-grade divine power ants was astonishing.
It was so powerful that it could form a domain within a certain range, indirectly interfering with the actions of other living beings.
"If this interference isn't removed, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape!" Ye Ningze inwardly exclaimed.
Understanding this, Ye Ningze let out a roar.
"Blade Intent!"
Relying on the momentum of his perfected blade techniques, Ye Ningze forcefully resisted the divine power ant's pressure.
The suppression vanished, and Ye Ningze's speed returned to its triple level.
At this moment, Ye Ningze's speed was no slower than that of a Grandmaster martial artist.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Not only Ye Ningze was fleeing madly, but all the martial artists present were also frantically using their escape techniques.
Fortunately, with the positional advantage they had earlier and Ye Ningze's own speed talent,
In this short time, Ye Ningze had already opened up a significant distance from the group of elite martial artists behind him.
This greatly ensured his safety.
Even if the advanced divine power ant pursued, it wouldn't chase Ye Ningze but would choose to slaughter the elite martial artists within its nearest range.
As for Elder Hong, who had first issued the warning, his escape speed was also like a gust of wind.
While not much faster than Ye Ningze, he could keep pace with him.
In this life-or-death situation, even Elder Hong, the leader of the beast extermination mission, was in such a sorry state that he had to flee in panic.
Let alone the ordinary elite martial artists behind him.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Screams came from behind them.
Ye Ningze knew without looking back that they were the screams of those unlucky elite martial artists.
In the face of an advanced fierce beast with a High-grade Strength talent,
These elite martial artists had no chance to resist, being slaughtered like ants.
In less than a few breaths, dozens of elite martial artists were killed.
Accelerate!
Accelerate!
Ye Ningze never looked back, only focusing on escaping with all his might.
After running for an unknown amount of time, only when he no longer heard screams or the low growls of the divine power ants behind him did Ye Ningze stop.
He first looked back for a while, and only when he confirmed that the fierce beast had not caught up did Ye Ningze breathe a sigh of relief.
His vital energy was completely depleted from the frantic escape. Ye Ningze found a place to rest and recover his vital energy.
In the Sunset Forest, which was full of fierce beasts, being without stamina was very dangerous.
After sitting down, he quickly took out a bottle of vital energy recovery liquid and drank it down.
Half an hour later, Ye Ningze's condition had fully recovered.
After recovering his stamina, Ye Ningze dared not linger in this place.
Following the route in his memory, he soon found the Wind Wolf team.
"Brother Ye, you're back!"
Feng Lang was very happy to see Ye Ningze return.
Before, he had been worried about Ye Ningze.
After all, the divine power ants were not known for nothing. If the divine power ants in their nest went berserk, they could kill a Grandmaster martial artist in minutes.
Seeing Ye Ningze return safely, Feng Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Something big has happened. We need to return to Qingcheng Base immediately!" Before they could catch up, Ye Ningze urged them with a grave expression.
"What happened?" Feng Lang and the others asked with knitted brows.
So, Ye Ningze recounted the events that had just transpired to Feng Lang and the others.
Upon hearing Ye Ningze's experience, Feng Lang and the others' faces all changed.
Countless low-grade divine power ants, over a dozen mid-grade divine power ants, and an advanced fierce beast, the divine power ant, which was almost invincible.
What a terrifying force this was!
Although they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, Feng Lang and the others could infer some clues from Ye Ningze's account.
While marveling at the appearance of the advanced fierce beast, the divine power ant,
They also admired Ye Ningze's strength even more.
According to Ye Ningze, so many elite martial artists had died, and only a few like Ye Ningze had managed to escape safely.
This was enough to demonstrate Ye Ningze's strength.
"Let's go, let's go! We're returning to Qingcheng Base immediately. The Sunset Forest is no longer safe!"
Feng Lang said immediately.
Soon, Feng Lang, who was experienced in scouting, led the team and immediately turned back towards Qingcheng Base.
With so many martial artists stationed at Qingcheng Base, the advanced fierce beast, the divine power ant, would not dare to come.
It could only vent its anger by killing some human martial artists within the range of the Sunset Forest.
Along the way, Ye Ningze and the others did not relax their vigilance.
On their return journey, although they did not encounter any more divine power ants, they still encountered over a dozen fierce beasts.
Among them were several powerful mid-grade fierce beasts, but they were all dealt with by Ye Ningze.
More than half a day later, Ye Ningze and his group safely returned to the base.
Having copied the High-grade Strength talent, Ye Ningze hurriedly bid farewell to Feng Lang and headed straight for his home.
Upon returning home, the first thing Ye Ningze wanted to do was to fuse the High-grade Strength talent.
