Chapter 315 – Scorching Ant

Moon could not believe that he could not outrun the man. He had four legs and the man only had two, he should be faster than the man. That was what he believed until the race.

The Mystical Bear admitted that the man was stronger than him, but in a fair race, it should be his win. The reality was cruel, and he was forced to face the cruel reality. He was inferior in many terms compared to this man, including the speed he was proud of.

Moon did not want to lose this race, he kept raising his speed and overtook the man. However, Tang Shaoyang easily caught up. It was as if he was not running with his maximum speed.

While Moon was concentrating on the race, Tang Shaoyang had his [Spirit Eyes] to look around. As they kept running at a high speed, soon he found the end of the grass field.

He found it was funny as the next area of the grass field was barren land. So there was a thin line but also clear that separated two territories with the contrast different. Aside from being barren, he noticed there were many mounds made of grits. The mounds' height varied, the lowest one around four meters tall while the tallest one could reach ten meters. That was what he saw through his [Spirit Eyes].

With their current speed, both entered the new territory quickly, "Alright, the race is over. It's a draw!" Tang Shaoyang called the race off as soon as they entered the new territory. That was because he noticed the mana density in the barren land was richer than the one in the grassland.

That meant there should be creatures that make this territory their home. They had to be careful around here, the unknown was the most dangerous one.

Tang Shaoyang stopped the race without notice. Moon's heels slid down on the barren grounds, creating a trail of dust behind. He could only stop after seven meters ahead of Tang Shaoyang.

—What's wrong? Why did you stop?

Moon was trying to talk to Tang Shaoyang. Of course, he knew that the opposite party could not understand him. So he was hoping his Master would convey his words to the man.

Li Na shook his head, she was telling him to not play around. Even though she could not be as specific as Tang Shaoyang. She could feel the difference between this barren land and the grassland.

Tang Shaoyang walked toward the two with a frown on his face, "Get ready for our first battle, the enemy is coming!" He pointed his finger down to the ground.

As he walked to the two, he could feel a slight vibration from the ground. It was very slight that it hardly noticed. If not for his high Sense he might not notice the vibration.

Moon immediately looked around as Li Na took out a quiver filled with silver arrows and a short sword. She put the short sword on her waist and the quiver to her back. Then she took out the longbow, the bow had exquisite contour, and two shorts blade at the two-point sides. That should be a bow she got in the fifth portal.

When she was about to come down from Moon, Tang Shaoyang spoke, "Just stay up there, our enemy is many, we might get surrounded from all sides."

From his understanding, Summoner was a class that relied on their summon. Their main attribute was Magic Power and most of her skill was a supporting skill for the summon. So it would be safer if she fought from Moon's back.

Soon the vibration was getting stronger, even Moon noticed the incoming enemies from the underground.

—He's right, Master. You should stay on my back, the enemies are too many for the three of us to fight…

Moon then realized something off. If the enemies were too many and they would get surrounded soon, then shouldn't retreat be the best decision for the current predicament?

—Should we retreat instead? I don't know the exact number, but it should be thousands of them!

Li Na smiled and stroked Moon's head, 'It's okay, you should just stay near him. We should be safe with him around,' she replied through the telepathy.

Just like an earthquake, all of sudden the ground was vibrating fiercely.

"So they tried to surprise us with the vibration. If we get panicked, their set up for the ambush would be perfect. Our enemies are quite smart, be careful!" Tang Shaoyang took out his battle-ax.

Meanwhile, Moon subconsciously walked closer to Tang Shaoyang. The shaking ground made him uneasy.

Soon the enemies came out from the ground. To be more exact, they came out from the mounds around them. It was a giant ant, they flooded from the ground and rushed toward the group of three.

The Ant had a dark-crimson exoskeleton, sharp and shiny mandible, and they were around two meters tall. But the mandible seemed not their main weapon to kill, Tang Shaoyang saw two blades that were similar to scythe etched to their body like a hand. It was more like a mantis blade but shorter.

Tang Shaoyang let out a relieved sight that these ants were just a little over a hundred in level. It should not be a hard battle.

"Are you ready?" Tang Shaoyang glanced to the side and asked Li Na.

—What? Are you crazy? Look at the swarm, we are getting outnumbered, and those ants don't look that weak too! We should retreat!

Moon yelled loudly through the telepathy communication with his Master. However, Li Na had a deep faith in Tang Shaoyang, 'No, we should fight side by side with him! I will not leave him, never!'

"We are ready!" Li Na replied and nodded her head. She pulled three silver arrows and nocked the arrows on the bow. She aimed at the ant's head.

"Don't shoot your arrow first, let me test out my new skill first," Tang Shaoyang instructed Li Na, "But you can shoot the ant that bypassed me."

After telling his instruction, Tang Shaoyang dashed toward the swarm. He was in the posture that ready to make a big swing with his [Dragon Destroyer]. As soon as he arrived in front of the swarm, he swung the [Dragon Destroyer].

[Invisible Slash]

Whoosh!

The battle-ax whistled through the air and split the ants in the path. Not only that, the ants five meters behind died from the [Invisible Slash]. In one attack, he took down dozens of Scorching Ants.

"Good range!" Tang Shaoyang was satisfied with his invisible slash. But he had more skills that needed to be tested. He opened his mouth wide, and flame burst out from his mouth. The flame swallowed the big swarm of ants.

[Fire Breath]

The fire swallowed a big area and burned the ants to ashes. The barren land turned into scorching lands as a big chunk of the swarm of the ant disappeared.

The show was not over, then he tried [Sky Walk]. Just like its name, the skill granted him the ability to walk to the sky. He walked up to twenty meters in the air without wings.

"Let's test our the [Dragon Fire]," he muttered as he wanted to know what was the difference between [Fire Breath] and [Dragon Fire].
