Novel Bin Chapter 915: The Illusory Spirit Flying Ants
Zhao Xingyue secretly glanced at Qin Haodong. Her delicate cheeks instantly flushed.
The Little Witch held her hand and said with a chuckle, “Why don’t you want to tell me? What’s there to be embarrassed about?”
“I just won’t tell you.”
Zhao Xingyue pushed the Little Witch aside and hugged Qin Haodong’s arm tightly. Unlike before, her expression was extremely shy. She didn’t even have the courage to look at Qin Haodong.
“Well, that’s enough. Let’s hurry and leave.” After Qin Haodong said that, he untied the Pink Dust on the group and took the lead in walking forward.
All of a sudden, he noticed that Tu Jiaojiao who had been walking at the front had fallen behind. Her expression was extremely strange.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong with you?”
“It’s none of your business!”
Tu Jiaojiao’s face turned even redder. She glared at Qin Haodong.
Among the group, she grew up as a commoner, so she had experienced many things that were relatively more complicated.
The illusion she saw just now had something to do with Qin Haodong, too. Compared with that of the Little Witch, the illusion she saw was more erotic. The mysterious act between a man and a woman was completed. Thus, it now felt cold, wet, and very uncomfortable.
This also made her very nervous. She was afraid of being seen by others, so she had been hiding behind.
When the others were not paying attention, she secretly reached out and touched the back of her robe. She found that it was still dry there so she was relieved.
“It’s all because of this bad guy that I saw such a terrible thing.”
Tu Jiaojiao thought angrily in her heart but Qin Haodong didn’t know that. He said questioningly, “Senior Sister, I saved you just now. It’s okay if you don’t thank me. Why are you acting like you are very angry with me?”
“I can come out by myself without your help.”
Thinking of the scene just now, Tu Jiaojiao became even more embarrassed. She strode forward and ignored Qin Haodong.
Although the other women had not reached Tu Jiaojiao’s level, the illusion they had just seen was more or less related to Qin Haodong. At this time, they were all shy and walked forward without saying a word.
Qin Haodong asked, “Where are you going? Shouldn’t you be looking for treasures now?”
“Oh!”
Only now did everyone come to their senses. They started searching for treasures on the first floor of the pagoda.
Qin Haodong shook his head in surprise. It was just an illusion. What was so great about it? What was going on?
They searched around the first floor and found traces of treasures. However, these treasures had all been taken away. They got nothing.
The Little Witch said, “Let’s hurry up. The good stuff must be up there.”
Murong Jinghong had just calmed down from the illusion. She glanced at Qin Haodong and said, “That’s true. Cultivators usually frequent the first floor, so there won’t be anything good. Let’s hurry up.”
Qin Haodong nodded and led the others to the stairs of the second floor.
They were the first team to walk out of the illusion. No other cultivators had arrived yet. Therefore, the second floor looked extremely empty. It was very quiet and made people’s hearts palpitate.
Zhao Xingyue held Qin Haodong’s arm nervously. She kept looking around with her big eyes.
The Little Witch said, “Why are we even here? Let’s just go to the third floor.”
The stairs that led to the third floor were on the other side of the pagoda. They could vaguely make it out.
Everyone walked forward carefully. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the stairs, Fang Qiong’er said, “The test on the first floor is an illusion. I don’t know what the test on the second floor is. We can just go across unimpeded?”
The Little Witch giggled and said, “That’s totally possible. Maybe it’s because we’re lucky…”
Just as she said this, a buzzing sound rang out. The sound wasn’t loud but due to the extremely quiet surroundings in the pagoda, it was rather ear-piercing.
“What is that sound?”
Tu Jiaojiao unsheathed her sword and looked around nervously.
Murong Jinghong’s expression changed drastically. “I remember now. These are Illusory Spirit Flying Ants. Run, everyone…”
Before she could finish her words, countless black shadows suddenly rushed over.
Qin Haodong glanced at them and was shocked. He saw countless ants flying over.
Unlike the ants on earth, these ants were as big as fists. They were all black and had a pair of huge wings on their backs. The two big feelers on their heads could be seen clearly. A pair of small eyes shone with a fierce light.
Fang Qiong’er waved the long sword in her hand and slashed at an ant.
However, to the astonishment of everyone, a clanging sound actually emanated from the sword. It sounded like metal colliding. On the other hand, the ant was merely swatted away and didn’t suffer much damage.
“These ants are too powerful! Murong Jinghong and I will bring up the rear! Everyone, retreat!” Qin Haodong shouted.
The Xuan Yuan Sword in his hand flew out and instantly ground the ants flying at the front into powder.
At the same time, Murong Jinghong also took out the Jinghong Sword. Although her sword was not as powerful as the great artifact, the Xuan Yuan Sword, it could also cut gold and jade. In an instant, countless ants fell to the ground.
After being attacked, these ants did not show any signs of retreating; on the contrary, they became more ferocious and pounced on them even more fiercely.
If they were other large monsters, they might be able to fight together. However, in the face of these countless ants, they had no hope of winning. Everyone quickly retreated to the stairs under the cover of Qin Haodong and Murong Jinghong.
To their surprise, those fierce ants immediately stopped after chasing there, as if there was a magical power restraining them.
Seeing that the ants were no longer chasing after them, everyone heaved sighs of relief.
Fang Qiong’er patted her towering chest and said in a panic, “What kind of monsters are these? Ordinary swords can’t hurt them!”
The Little Witch said, “These are the fourth-level demonic beasts, the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants. Although this kind of demonic beast is only at the fourth level, its defensive strength is extremely strong. Moreover, each time they move, there are tens of thousands of them. Even if a sixth-level demonic beast meets these ants, it can only turn around and flee. There is no way to contend with them.”
These Illusory Spirit Flying Ants were unable to charge out of the restriction but at the same time, they didn’t fly away. They kept flapping their wings and droned ceaselessly.
The small blood-red eyes of these ants stared fixedly at everyone, looking as if they wanted to eat these people up immediately.
Yun Qianqian said, “Then what should we do? With so many Illusory Spirit Flying Ants on guard here, an immortal would be unable to pass through, too!”
“I’m sorry! It’s all my fault!” Murong Jinghong said, “According to the ancestral records, there are countless Illusory Flying Ants on the second floor of the pagoda. But I forgot just now.”
Speaking of this, she looked embarrassed. The reason why she forgot the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants on the second floor was that she was completely disturbed by the scene in the illusion.
The thought of that shameful scene made her blush and her heart beat faster. However, she couldn’t control her thoughts. She couldn’t help recalling the comfortable feeling.
Tu Jiaojiao said, “Since your ancestor had the records of Illusory Spirit Flying Ants, did he mention a way to restrain them?”
“Yes, I have prepared in advance but those things are all in Xiao Yulong’s hands…”
While she was talking, some figures suddenly flashed into their view. You Wanjian, Xiao Yulong, Xue Pan, and the others came up from the first floor.
When they saw Qin Haodong and the others, they could not help being slightly stunned. Obviously, they did not expect Qin Haodong’s team to be out of the illusion so quickly.
“Not bad. I didn’t expect you to come out of the illusion so quickly.”
You Wanjian said with a smirk, “So what? Are you stuck here? Qin Haodong, aren’t you very capable? Why are you blocked by this kind of small insect?”
The Little Witch said angrily, “You Wanjian, don’t make sarcastic remarks. Show me if you can.”
“Then I’ll give you a show!”
You Wanjian’s face was full of pride. He walked past Qin Haodong and the others and went straight in the direction of the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants.
“What is that smell? It smells terrible…”
The women didn’t feel anything was wrong when You Wanjian and the others were far away just now. However, when You Wanjian and the others got close to them, they immediately smelled something bad and covered their noses.
But then a surprising scene happened. When You Wanjian and the others walked in, the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants retreated one after another and showed no intention of attacking.
After walking for more than ten meters, You Wanjian looked back at Qin Haodong and said, “Qin Haodong, how is it? You didn’t expect it, did you?”
Before Qin Haodong could speak, Murong Jinghong said angrily, “Xiao Yulong, did you give them the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid I prepared?”
A trace of guilt flashed across Xiao Yulong’s face. Then he said, “Jinghong Fairy, we are now members of the same team. It’s only right to give it to them.”
You Wanjian said, “You’re right. You deserve it for following Qin Haodong.”
Feeling guilty, Xiao Yulong took out a small bottle. There was still some golden liquid left in the bottle.
He said, “Jinghong Fairy, if you are willing to come to our side, there is still some Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid here for you to use.”
Murong Jinghong said angrily, “I don’t want to be associated with scum like you.”
Xiao Yulong said unwillingly, “Murong Jinghong, don’t tell me that you will give up this opportunity for Qin Haodong?”
Murong Jinghong said angrily, “Let alone a chance to experience! Even if I die, I will not be with you people!”
A hint of resentment flashed in Xiao Yulong’s eyes. “Murong Jinghong, since you are unwilling to give up, don’t blame me.”
After that, they began to walk inside.
Murong Jinghong cursed angrily, “This bastard! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have left the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid in his hands!”
Qin Haodong asked, “Senior Sister, what is the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid?”
Fang Qiong’er said, “It smelled so bad just now. Was it from by that thing?”
“It’s the smell of that thing!” Murong Jinghong said, “The dragon ape is an eighth-level demonic beast with a trace of dragon bloodline.
“These Illusory Spirit Flying Ants are extremely savage. Even ordinary eighth-level spirit beasts are unable to suppress them. Only the dragon bloodline can intimidate them.
“According to the records left by my ancestor, we can only pass the second floor by smearing the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid on our bodies. I bought this bottle of Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid at a huge price of 1,000 top-level Spirit Stones. I didn’t expect Xiao Yulong to use it for those people.”
Tu Jiaojiao said, “You haven’t told us what this Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid is.”
Murong Jinghong said sheepishly, “It’s actually the dragon ape’s urine!”
The Little Witch pinched her nose. “How disgusting. Even if we had some, I wouldn’t use this kind of thing.”
Fang Qiong’er said, “No wonder it smells so bad. It’s the dragon ape’s urine.”
“I let Xiao Yulong take it because I thought its smell was too bad. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
“Although that thing smells bad, it is the best magic treasure to keep the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants away. Now we don’t have Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid, so we can’t pass through the second floor at all. This is all my fault!”
At this point, a look of guilt flashed across Murong Jinghong’s face.
