The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2786: Lumberjack

All the warriors surrounded a crescent shape and relied on the cliff to deal with the surging red ants.

At high altitude, ants also glided from the branches and were able to directly knock down the three warriors who were climbing the cliff. Fortunately, at this moment, there were three innate masters blocking them, allowing the three warriors to concentrate on climbing.

"field!"

The three innate masters attacked one after another and crushed all the red ants that flew over to them.

However, there were too many red ants, and there was no way to kill them all. After crushing a batch, more ants would rush up. And they were everywhere in the world. Even when the three warriors climbed halfway up, they were already dozens of meters high and were also attacked by the red ants.

If Qian Ying had not stepped on the weapon that had been inserted into the cliff wall, and then stood in mid-air to crush the ants attacking the three warriors, perhaps the three warriors would have been surrounded by the surging ants, and because of the delay, they might not have been able to climb above the Great Rift Valley.

"You two, there are too many ants. As they climb higher, we will not be able to provide adequate support, and the three of us may be attacked by the ants. So, please cover me. I will cut down all the trees near the cliff. In this way, these ants will have no place to support themselves, and they will be able to delay their attack and climb around the three of us." Qian Ying said to Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing while attacking the ants that were rushing up.

Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing were also on high alert, constantly attacking the ants. Although the ants were not very strong, there were too many of them. If they missed any of them, it might not have any impact on the two of them, but it could have unpredictable consequences for the three people climbing up, and even for the many warriors under their feet.

Especially the warriors below. Although the battle teams were densely packed, their strengths were uneven. If it weren't for the three innate masters who crushed the ants that rushed in, reducing the large number of ants rushing down from the sky, the warriors below might have missed their chances and been rushed into the formation by the ants, biting or even killing some warriors.

But now, as they climbed higher, they also had to keep climbing to cover the three people's climb. However, for the warriors below, it might cause a certain space distance, which would also allow more ants to rush over and attack the many warriors standing on the ground at the bottom of the cliff from the air.

Therefore, Qian Ying’s idea of ​​cutting down all the trees nearby so that the ants cannot use the trees to glide is also a good idea.

But this requires the cooperation of two people. Especially after losing Qian Ying's domain support, Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing will need to be responsible for more areas, which means that their domains need to cover a larger area and consume more innate power.

However, the two of them still agreed at the same time. After all, although this matter requires them to put in more effort and more innate power, it will benefit everyone.

After all, Qian Ying had previously explained that there seemed to be a kind of suppression in this Great Rift Valley, so no species could fly in the Great Rift Valley. Therefore, although the ants in front of them had wings, they could only glide with the help of trees.

Therefore, after the surrounding trees are cut down, the ants have no place to gain leverage, and they cannot attack from the air and ground, so they can only attack along the ground. Moreover, these ants cannot glide very far, so they only need to cut down a piece of trees around them.

After hearing the two people's agreement, Qian Ying drew out the innate short sword from the bottom of his backpack, rushed into the ant colony, crushed and killed all the ants nearby with one field, and then, while the ants had not yet filled in, he flashed towards a tree in front.

When he stood in front of the tree, he used his domain again to crush all the ants wrapped in the capsule, and then he swung the dagger continuously, and a tree that at least two people hugged had an outward slant at the root. Qian Ying slapped the tree with the slant, and the whole tree fell along the slant toward the cliff in the opposite direction.

When Qian Ying cut down trees, he naturally took the direction in which they would fall into consideration. They could not fall towards the cliff, otherwise they would become a path for ants to reach the sky.

Because the height of these trees is 30 to 40 meters, and some trees are even nearly 60 meters high due to their thickness. So if they fall towards the cliff, they will not fall down, but lean against the cliff. In this way, the ants will use the fallen trees to climb up the cliff directly. Although they may not break through the top of the rift valley, they can still cause danger to the three people climbing.

Although the trees fell in the opposite direction, they were densely packed together, so they did not fall completely to the ground. Instead, they were blocked by other trees.

Qian Ying frowned when he saw this situation. He had thought things were too simple before. He did not consider the density of the trees here, nor did he consider that when the trees fell, other trees would become obstacles.

However, there is no good way to solve this problem in time, and we can only use violence and directly cut down the blocking trees. This may achieve the original expected results.

Qian Ying did not think about it any more, but cut down all the trees in a crescent shape along the positions where many warriors were standing below. The speed was very fast, but every time he had to kill all the ants that pounced on him one by one, he could find time to cut down trees.

The innate master is very powerful, and he is also very competent when he is transformed into a worker who cuts down trees. Especially the dagger in his hand, which is specially made by the Special Management Bureau, using many special materials and adding some rare metals. Therefore, although this dagger is only more than 50 centimeters long, it can cut iron like mud.

Dealing with the trees in front of him was very simple. Even though the trees were very thick, most of them had diameters exceeding the length of the dagger, and it was just a matter of chopping them a few more times.

Moreover, when Qian Ying used it, the speed was quite fast. The trees were easily broken by the dagger, like tofu, without any obstacles. The trees were full of ants. When the trees fell, they wanted to fly up in time, but because of the prohibition of flying, some rushed to other directions and collided with other ants, and some could only fall to the ground because they did not use the force in time.

Anyway, because of the fallen trees, the attack of the large number of ants was delayed for a while.

Qian Ying didn't care and still flashed forward, moving freely within his own area and wrapping the ants in them, crushing them one by one, and then cutting down the trees in front of him one by one.

In just a few minutes, he had cut down hundreds of trees in the area around the cliff.

Of course, many trees only tilted sideways but did not fall down completely, but those near the cliff were all felled, leaving a distance of several dozen meters between the cliff and the trees.

The ants could not fly with the help of the height of the trees, so they could only rush towards the crowd quickly along the ground.

When Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing saw this situation, they reacted and crushed some ants stranded in the sky in time, then drew out their innate daggers and joined in the tree-cutting work.

In just ten minutes, the three innate masters turned into lumberjacks and completely cut down a large area of ​​trees, and the ground was covered with an army of red ants.

The three innate masters dodged and retreated, standing behind the crescent-shaped team of warriors. Seeing that the warriors in front of them were only dealing with the ants rushing up from the ground, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, sometimes by taking advantage of the rules, both the enemy and ourselves can be turned into an advantageous condition.

Although ants can glide, without the support of a tree, they can only crawl on the ground even with wings. Forget about the idea of ​​spreading wings and flying.

In this way, it becomes much easier for many warriors to deal with these ants.

However, in the previous few minutes, two warriors were bitten by the ants that escaped the net because they did not deal with the ants in time, and they were injured and fell to the ground. Fortunately, they were dragged by the warriors behind them and pulled to the back of the opponent, who killed the ants lying on their bodies in time, thus avoiding the fate of being bitten.

However, the bloody smell also made all the ants gradually become violent.

Chen Mo stood next to Ouyang Ruoxi and asked her to stand beside him and watch over them. Ouyang Ruoxi and Ouyang Nana took turns to attack. If there were any ants that were missed, Chen Mo would attack for them and kill the missed ants.

Moreover, Chen Mo also indicated to the other warriors of the Ouyang family that he did not need to be replaced, as long as the other warriors could protect themselves. Moreover, he also took care of the warriors of the Ouyang family on the other side, so that the warriors of the Ouyang family could have more people to replace and delay the consumption of the warriors' qi and blood.

Chen Mo did not stop Ouyang Ruoxi from attacking. The purpose of doing so was actually to train Ouyang Ruoxi's fighting ability. Otherwise, it would be useless if he only had the strength of the eighth level of the acquired realm but did not have the corresponding fighting ability.

Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity to train Ouyang Ruoxi, Chen Mo will spare no effort to train her. Under this circumstance, Ouyang Ruoxi's combat ability has skyrocketed. She is no longer the kind of person who has strength but no corresponding combat ability and cannot exert her own strength.

Ouyang Ruoxi also understood Chen Mo's intentions, so while she was improving herself in the battle, she was also in a warm mood. It was really good to have Ah Mo accompany her.

In addition, she also discovered that when the ants attacked her, they would always pause when approaching. Although this pause was very short, it was something that other warriors did not experience when facing ants.

Moreover, when the ants were swarming over her, she also found that the number of ants in front of her was always much smaller. Many ants had already deviated to other places in mid-air and would not rush towards her. And many of those that rushed over did not have time to deviate from their direction and fell on her blood and qi defense.

However, when it comes to defending qi and blood, there will always be stagnation.

Ouyang Ruoxi is very smart. After observing the different situations, she thought that the pills Chen Mo gave her might have worked if she wore them on her body, which is why she faced fewer ants.

Especially for Elder Qian Ying, after she cut down the surrounding trees, the number of ants she faced dropped sharply. Many of the ants crawling towards her on the ground began to turn around when they were within two meters, instead of rushing towards her.
