The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

"Oh!"

Hong nodded and immediately followed.

The camera lingered on the grassland for a moment.

Then, the scene changed.

Another mountaintop.

The moment the camera turned to the other side, the sound of a heavy sword cutting through the air rang out in the live stream.

"Snap—"

Green juice splashed in his face.

After the juice scattered like starlight in mid-air.

Only then could the audience see the scene clearly.

Mengzhu, wielding a heavy sword, had just smashed a half-meter-long black ant into pieces.

Those green sap drops are tissue fluid splattered from the black ants' bodies.

"ah!"

Mengzhu wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled with satisfaction.

She turned around and earnestly gave Jiang Liyu some instructions.

"Little Fish, you must remember the habits of the monsters in this area."

"There is a type of swarming soldier ant here."

"You can easily deal with the regular soldier ants, but whatever you do, don't touch the one with the glowing abdomen."

Jiang Liyu followed her gaze.

Under the big tree, a half-meter-long black ant curled up.

Its abdomen emitted a ghostly green light.

Why?

Mengzhu touched her chin.

"Because the ant's abdomen contains a pheromone sac."

"Pheromone sacs?"

"right!"

Mengzhu's expression turned serious.

"That thing is the ant colony's gathering signal."

"Once it's broken, the warning pheromones will immediately spread."

"At that time, all the soldier ants in the entire forest will come over."

She pointed to the dense shadows of the trees around her.

"At our current level, we absolutely cannot withstand it."

"So just go around it when you see it."

Jiang Liyu gripped her longsword tightly and nodded earnestly.

"Okay, I've got it."

"That's fine!"

Just as the two were about to continue clearing out the ordinary soldier ants, a squeaking sound suddenly came from the nearby bushes.

A chubby yellow kangaroo peeks its head out from behind a tree.

It also had a bulging bundle wrapped around its back.

Mengzhu's eyes lit up.

"Little fish!"

"A rare material monster has spawned over there!"

"It drops exclusive forging materials for ice-attribute longswords, which are perfect for you!"

Before she could finish speaking, Mengzhu had already charged out with her heavy sword on her shoulder.

"You stay here and clear out the regular mobs nearby!"

"Don't run around!"

"I'll be back soon!"

Jiang Liyu nodded.

"good!"

"Be careful!"

Mengzhu chased after it for a few steps and shouted at the kangaroo.

"Where should we run to?"

"If you see your great-aunt, why don't you hurry up and commit suicide and hand over the materials!"

The yellow kangaroo was so frightened that it jumped several meters away.

"Yo ho!"

Mengzhu drew her sword and gave chase.

"Still dare to run?"

"You've got some nerve!"

The man and the beast quickly disappeared on the other side of the mountaintop.

Jiang Liyu withdrew her gaze.

She glanced at the soldier ant with a glowing abdomen under the tree, then gripped her longsword and charged toward the nearby ordinary soldier ants.

"Shuashuashua——"

Several soldier ants instantly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Kill 3 level 3 soldier ants

[Experience points +30]

Jiang Liyu's wrist gradually started to ache.

She stopped, bracing her longsword against the ground, her chest heaving rapidly.

After a short rest, she had just straightened up when a sharp screech suddenly came from her side.

The wind whispered past my ear.

Jiang Liyu's eyes narrowed, and before she could even turn around, she drew her sword and slashed horizontally.

"squeak--"

The sword swept out horizontally.

The soldier ant was accurately struck.

But its abdomen burst open under the sword blade, revealing a faint green light inside.

Jiang Liyu paused for a moment.

"not good!"

She recognized the light.

But it was too late.

"puff--"

Green smoke billowed from her shattered abdomen, instantly engulfing her body.

Jiang Liyu took several steps back and raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose.

The smoke carried a pungent, fishy smell, and vision was blurred into a yellowish-green haze.

She looked down at the ground.

The pheromone capsule was already broken.

Mengzhu's parting words came back to mind perfectly.

Never touch the one with the glowing belly.

She swung her sword at a slightly off angle to avoid an attack from the side.

The sword's edge struck the soldier ant's abdomen precisely.

Jiang Liyu tightened her grip on the sword.

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

The first hooting sound rang out from deep in the mountains and forests.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third calls came in succession.

The treetops began to tremble.

The grass kept parting.

One after another, pairs of black compound eyes lit up from the shadows.

Dense numbers of soldier ants swarmed in from all directions, rapidly approaching along tree trunks, rocks, and the ground.

Jiang Liyu raised her longsword and retreated to a boulder.

Her gaze swept around.

Too many.

Mengzhu is not here.

It was too late to escape.

In the distance, the ant colony is closing in.

The mountain wind swept through the forest, bringing with it the sound of large patches of black carapace rubbing together.

Jiang Liyu slowly raised the tip of her sword.

"We have no choice but to fight our way out."

The ant colony simultaneously emitted sharp hissing sounds.

The next moment, the entire forest of shadows rushed towards her.

"Heh heh, you can't escape now!"

On the edge of the cliff, a yellow kangaroo clutched the pack it had moved in front of it, its two short, thick hind legs trembling incessantly.

Behind it is a cliff tens of meters high.

If you take another step back, you'll fall straight down.

Mengzhu, carrying a heavy sword, approached step by step, her smile gradually becoming more unrestrained.

"Weren't you running pretty fast just now?"

Keep running!

The yellow kangaroo let out a sharp squeak and turned to rush toward the edge of the cliff.

Mengzhu's expression immediately changed.

"Still want to jump?"

She stomped her right foot on the ground and sped off, her whole body skimming the ground.

She dragged the greatsword behind her, its blade scraping against the rocks and sending sparks flying.

The yellow kangaroo had barely leaped halfway up when Mengzhu arrived.

She gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and using her waist and back muscles, swung the heavy sword overhead.

"Get down here!"

The sword, imbued with immense force, slammed down on the yellow kangaroo's head.

"boom--"

The yellow kangaroo's head caved in on the spot.

Its body froze in mid-air before dissipating into large patches of yellow light.

All that remained was a bulging package.

[Ding! Successfully defeated a level 8 resource monster, the Yellow Kangaroo.]

[Experience +100]

【Frosty Soul Iron x10】

Ten pieces of icy blue iron rolled out of the package, their surfaces constantly emitting white, frigid air.

Mengzhu's eyes lit up instantly.

"It really exploded!"

She reached out and collected all the Frost Soul Iron into her backpack.

With these materials, Little Fish's ice-attribute longsword can undergo its first enhancement.

Right at this moment.

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

The sound was initially quite far away.

A few breaths later, the entire woodland was filled with the ear-piercing sound of carapaces scraping against each other.

Mengzhu's smile vanished.

She turned around abruptly.

A swarm of black ants surged out from the depths of the forest, densely covering the ground.

They climbed over tree roots, smashed through rubble, and converged in the same direction along the hillside.

That direction was where Jiang Liyu was located.

Mengzhu's face turned pale instantly.

"Little fish!!!"
