I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 74 I am the luckiest

Under the spotlight.

Qi Xuan casually pulled out countless blue firefly flowers.

The reason for taking the detour to the east to cross the river was not only to avoid the Hundred-Kiss Blood Silkworms in the river, but more importantly, to collect these Blue Firefly Flowers.

"The flower in my hand is called the Blue Firefly Flower. It was originally just an ordinary flower, but its sap unexpectedly smells very similar to that of fire ants. If you apply it to your body, the fire ants will think you are one of their own and will not attack you."

Qi Xuan squeezed and rubbed the blue firefly flower to extract the blue juice, which he then applied to his body.

To avoid any mistakes, even private parts that were not captured on camera were not overlooked.

He soon became a completely blue man.

Fortunately, this color can be washed off with water, so there's no need to worry about it sticking to your body forever.

After making the preparations, Qi Xuan slowly stood up from the bushes.

Looking at the faintly visible swarm of fire-sharp ants ahead, even though the Encyclopedia has never been wrong, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Especially the mountain of various monster skeletons in front of him, just looking at them was enough to make him feel immense pressure, and his legs were so heavy that he could hardly lift them.

"It works!"

"It can definitely work!"

"I'm the strongest!"

"I am the luckiest!"

Qi Xuan kept encouraging himself, and finally gritted his teeth and strode forward with stiff steps.

Nearly.

closer.

The fire ant nests are now visible.

At this moment, countless netizens were on tenterhooks.

They didn't even dare to blink, afraid that they would miss the scene of Qi Xuan passing the challenge.

Perhaps because he had prepared himself mentally, Qi Xuan's steps became smoother as he walked.

But when he reached the first fire ant, and saw it suddenly turn and crawl toward him, Qi Xuan almost froze.

Then the fire ant touched his shoe with its two antennae, and then, as if it had discovered something, it quickly retreated.

At this moment, Qi Xuan was caught in a huge dilemma.

Should we kill it?

Should we kill it?!
If the other side senses something is wrong and goes back to notify the ant colony to attack, this is the best time to intercept and kill it.

If you miss this opportunity, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Qi Xuan was torn between his inner and outer thoughts, his mind racing a hundred times in an instant.

In the end, he still did not take action and chose to trust the Encyclopedia.

The waiting time felt like an eternity.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe only a few seconds, but the fire ant came back with several of its companions.

Then they pushed several pieces of bloody flesh in front of him.

Qi Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Netizens were also taken aback for a moment, then all burst into laughter:
"My compatriots who have returned from afar, let's devour these lumps of meat!"

"We don't have much to give you, but we won't let you go hungry."

"After you finish eating, come with us to see the queen ant and get ready to mate."

"Damn, no way, that kind of thing."

……

Seemingly dissatisfied with Qi Xuan's hesitation, the fire ants even moved pieces of meat onto his shoes, urging him to eat.

"Thank you for your kindness, but..."

Qi Xuan's face twitched.

Finally, he raised his hand and took the piece of meat away.

The fire ants seemed a little bewildered, surprised that he ate so quickly. While the fire ants went to find him more food, Qi Xuan hurried forward.

If we don't leave soon, our little personal space will be filled with chunks of meat sooner or later.

Even though the fire ants made him feel the warmth of his family, Qi Xuan still dared not let his guard down.

Once they realize they are not compatriots, their current goodwill will turn into hatred, and then things will get really interesting.

As he ventured deeper into the ant nest, the number of fire ants around him increased dramatically, sometimes to the point where he could barely find a place to put his feet.

Fortunately, these fire ants completely regarded him as one of their own. They never came up to bite him, and even if they were accidentally stepped on by him, they would only make a squeaking sound and quickly slip away, appearing completely harmless.

As he walked, Qi Xuan gradually relaxed.

He even had time to joke around with netizens:
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the first human on Earth to cross a swarm of fire-sharp ants."

"If this were on Earth, I'd definitely get a Guinness World Record."

"The value of Blue Firefly Flowers is still increasing. If you encounter Firefly Ants in the future, remember to prepare Blue Firefly Flowers in advance."

"This thing can really be used to save lives."

……

Netizens were speechless upon hearing this.
"Hilarious, he's actually teaching us how to avoid fire ants."

"How could you possibly believe that such a terrifying thing exists on Earth?"

"Once the fire-stem ants appear, forget about the blue fireflies, I'll move immediately and live on the sea from now on!"

"Putting everything else aside, this blue firefly flower has considerable research value. Perhaps scientists can isolate a component similar to the pheromone of firefly ants from its sap. In the future, when we encounter firefly ants, we won't need to apply flower sap; just spray a few times with a mist."

"Understood, I'll go and stock up on Blue Fireflies."

"Hey pros, log in and let me join!"

……

Qi Xuan ventured deep into the ant colony, his expression relaxed.

But suddenly, for some unknown reason, all the fire ants stopped abruptly.

Whether crawling, feeding, or communicating with each other, all the fire ants straighten their bodies, raise their heads, and maintain the same guarded posture.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He froze on the spot, unable to put his foot down as it hovered in mid-air.

No way?
Can't be so unlucky?
He only got discovered after penetrating deep into the ant colony...

Qi Xuan didn't even dare to imagine how horribly he would die.

He instinctively crushed the concealment talisman.

In an instant, his aura almost vanished, as if he had completely merged with the surrounding environment.

I guessed I might need this when I drew it yesterday.

I didn't expect it to actually be used.

However, the effect of the Concealment Talisman is time-limited.

Qi Xuan glanced at the ant nest that still stretched as far as the eye could see opposite him, and without hesitation, immediately chose to retreat.

Before we go too deep and before these fire ants can react, we need to escape quickly. We can figure out a way out later.

Compared to his steady advance, Qi Xuan retreated much faster, even disregarding the risk of stepping on other fire ants, and quickly retreated.

As he retreated, the ant colony suddenly became agitated.

Countless fire ants surged out of the nest, like a crimson wave, sweeping in all directions.

"Holy crap! It's just a little smuggling, does it really have to be such a big deal?!"

Qi Xuan was completely shocked and retreated even more rapidly.

They finally managed to retreat to the edge of the ant colony.

Within the crimson waves, one after another, enormous, scarlet creatures emerged, supported by a multitude of fire-sharp ants.

Qi Xuan's face suddenly turned deathly pale:
"Ant... Queen Ant?!"
