The ants were fearless of death; they only knew to carry out the queen's orders. The temperature outside the forbidden area was normal, so the ants had no idea why their companions in front of them had turned blue and stopped moving.

They crawled over the corpses of their companions, one after another, rushing towards the Shen River.

Then, during the forbidden technique, he was frozen into an ice sculpture by the extreme cold, still retaining his attacking posture before he died.

Shenhe was both enjoying himself and suffering.

The power of forbidden techniques is perfect for grinding monsters, and experience points increase rapidly.

But it uses too much mana!

Every time an ant swarmed in and got hurt, he could feel his energy decreasing a little.

This might explain why the first sentence in the description of Blizzard's abilities is about overdrawing one's powers.

Congratulations on leveling up! Your current level is 36!

As his level increased again, Shenhe quickly drank a bottle of stamina recovery potion.

Blizzard is a continuous skill that constantly drains stamina. He's already drunk three bottles of it, and the feeling of slowly weakening is unbearable.

Fortunately, he doesn't lack stamina potions right now.

By this time, few of the ant colonies that had arrived were still alive, and the streets were filled with ice sculptures of ants.

The pile of corpses was so high that it reached the height of a two-story building, a huge heap.

Shenhe dissipated the blizzard's power, the clouds in the sky above the streets slowly dispersed, the gale disappeared, and the remaining ice crystals, without the support of the wind, fell to the ground with a crackling sound, leaving only a world of ice sculptures radiating cold air.

In half a day, I went from level 19 to level 36.

I remember when the apocalypse first started, we couldn't even imagine such a thing happening. We only managed to kill a few dozen zombies a day.

Now that my skills have improved, every kill I get is over 10,000.

After expressing his feelings, Shenhe wanted to go home. He was a person who was easily satisfied; as long as he had gained something, that was enough.

"Sir, could you please not leave yet..."

Shenhe selected the map and was about to use teleportation when he suddenly heard a pleasant woman's voice.

The voice sounded melancholic and fragile, but the timbre was pleasant, giving a light and ethereal feeling.

He stopped what he was doing, opened the spatial barrier to envelop himself, and slowly looked around with his eyes, but found no one, and there were no red or white dots on the map.

This is kind of scary!

The system map wasn't even showing up, yet the sound was blaring in his ear. What was that? Was it on his back?

I reached out and touched both shoulders, but there was nothing there.

"Hehe~ Sir, you don't need to look anymore. I'm not a ghost. I have a favor to ask... I wonder if we could meet?"

The woman seemed amused by his actions, and a rare hint of joy appeared in her usually melancholy voice.

Shenhe clearly sensed that the girl was probably quite young. When she said she had a favor to ask, her voice became noticeably more urgent, carrying a strange longing.

This made him even more apprehensive, and the woman's way of speaking was clearly like that of a female ghost, all very refined and scholarly.

And besides, why are you sounding so emotional when we're supposed to meet? I don't even know you! Something's not right!

Shenhe didn't want to face the unknown. If even the system map couldn't pinpoint where people were, what good could it be? This was the apocalypse; anything could exist here!

We need to teleport away immediately.

"Sir...please don't go...I mean no harm...I just sincerely want to make an exchange with you..."

As if she could sense what he was thinking, the woman guessed that he wanted to leave, so she hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

The anxiety and helplessness in her tone, the ethereal voice tinged with a sense of brokenness, were heartbreaking to hear.

It has to be said, that voice is really beautiful, especially when she's pleading with a soft voice, it makes your heart tremble.

What if she cried out in her haste?

wrong!

Shenhe's mind went blank; he had almost been deceived!

He's not the kind of person who gets lustful at first sight!

This woman's voice can bewitch the mind!

"What do you want to trade with me?"

Shenhe spoke slowly with a calm expression, his gaze constantly darting around, trying to locate the woman.

"I see that you have a particular fondness for cleaning up ants. Manluo can help you by providing a huge number of ants for you to use in exchange."

A huge number of ants?

You think you're the queen ant?!

Shenhe didn't believe it, but what if it was true? What he needed most right now was to level up and gain skill points!

His ability upgrades all relied on skill points.

"What do I need to offer in exchange?"

"Well... I would appreciate it if you could come to my humble abode for a chat, sir. We can make a decision after you have met Manluo."

The woman hesitated slightly, her tone initially tinged with shyness, before becoming full of anticipation.

This fellow, let's have a chat over a short while!

Shouldn't it be a casual chat at my humble abode?

"Can't you come out and meet me?"

"I'm sorry, I can't leave because of restrictions..."

The woman's voice was tinged with aggrieved sobs.

Shenhe's mind raced as he weighed the pros and cons.

If what the woman said was true, then the temptation for him was indeed very strong; the exhilarating feeling of leveling up multiple times in one morning was still lingering in his mind.

Besides, fortune favors the bold, so how can a man be timid and hesitant? With teleportation, he's fearless wherever he goes, so why would he be afraid of a woman?

Shenhe addressed the street, "How did I find you?"

"Ah! Sir, please wait a moment, I'll have them come and fetch you right away!"

The woman's voice was filled with barely concealed joy, and then she fell silent.

Shenhe turned around and looked around, asking the system in his mind.

"System, there are no ghosts in this world, right?"

Yes, neutrinos, but they can't get close to you; the yang energy in your body is unbearable even for ghosts.

"Then I'm relieved."

Shenhe breathed a sigh of relief and immediately used the skill points he had just obtained to upgrade his spatial ability.

A surge of energy, even greater than the combined fourth and fifth-order energies of the previous two, filled Shenhe's body.

Fortunately, he only advanced one level this time, and even with his increased energy, it still followed the natural order, so there was no danger.

Host: Shenhe [Sixth Rank]

Age: 24

Height: 180

Level: Lv.36 (Experience 731/7000)

Overall quality: 200

Skill points: 0

After the upgrade, Shenhe's body returned to its peak condition, his control over spatial abilities became more proficient, and his aura became stronger, making anyone who glared at him unable to withstand it.

"Bang!" A loud noise.

Shenhe turned his head and looked. Ten meters away, a giant soldier ant, twice the size of any soldier ant he had ever seen before, broke through the soil, showed its face, and then retreated back, leaving only a deep hole a few meters wide.

Immediately afterwards, a worker ant, a size larger than the one above, crawled out of the hole, looked at Shenhe, opened and closed its mandibles twice, then turned around and shook its head twice at the entrance of the hole, clearly indicating that it should follow him.

Seeing the ant's human-like actions, Shenhe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

So that girl really was the queen ant?

"Sir... just follow it."

That light, melodious female voice rang in my ears once more.

Shenhe smiled and jumped off the bus.
