Chapter 509: Primeval Fire Ants vs Emerald Demon Spiders!
"What kind of demon beast is chasing after us…?"
"Yes, I was wondering what got you all so scared. Especially given the fact that you are at the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm…"
Saying this, Xuan Hao could not help looking curiously at the man at the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm. Feeling even more curious about the demon beast that was chasing them.
Back at the mountain, he had not managed to catch a glimpse of the demon beasts rushing towards the mountain. Leaving before it showed up to avoid the trouble, that he now found himself in the middle of anyway.
All things considered; it had been completely useless to run a bit earlier. In the end, he was now sandwiched between the primeval fire ants and the demon beasts chasing after the group of Domain Lords standing just next to him…
"It's not just a demon beast chasing after us… We… Happened to antagonize an emerald demon spider nest. Quite similar to the primeval fire ant nest that we now find ourselves inside of…"
"…"
Not knowing what to say after hearing what the man said, Xuan Hao could already imagine an endless tide of spiders coming towards them from the other side of the tunnel at any moment.
"In the end, we are stuck between a rock and a hard place… Hah…"
Muttering this to himself as he let out a sigh at the end, Xuan Hao could not help but lament over his current situation. From the looks of it, he would have no way out of fighting his way to the ancient teleportation formation deeper inside the underground cave network… Or, well… Primeval fire ant nest…
Who in the world builds a teleportation formation in such a dangerous location in the first place!?
Cursing the people who had chosen such a location for a teleportation formation, Xuan Hao forgot that thousands, if not tens of thousands of years had likely passed since the construction of the teleportation formation and the time when the primeval fire ant nest appeared.
Bang!
Interrupting his train of thought, Xuan Hao could not help frowning upon noticing a giant green spider at the Nascent Soul Realm suddenly appear on the other side of the tunnel before rushing towards them.
Looks like the emerald demon spiders showed up already.
Thinking this to himself Xuan Hao casually slashed his sword down in the direction of the emerald demon spider before the other Domain Lords present had any time to react to the appearance of the spider.
Swish~
A silver-coloured light instantly formed and flew past the group of Domain Lords before directly slashing the Nascent Soul Realm emerald demon spider in half.
Screec-
Letting out what sounded like a painful screeching sound upon suddenly being slashed in half by the sword light. The spider's soul barely managed to stay alive for a little over a second after the death of the body before being consumed by the silver-coloured sword light.
"Let's get out of here before more spiders show up, we can try to use the ants to distract them. Maybe we will be able to get a chance to escape during the chaos!"
Before Xuan Hao even said a single word following the death of the spider, the Peak Domain Lord seemed to have calmed down as he suggested this.
"Let's try that… We can try and hide behind some of the large rocks just outside the entrance and wait for the spiders and ants to clash with each other before trying to escape."
Even if the Peak Domain Lord had somewhat lost hope when it came to getting out alive after discovering that he had entered a primeval fire ant nest, he is clearly not one to give up without at least trying…
Thinking this to himself as he agreed with the idea, Xuan Hao and the five other Domain Lords soon snuck out of the tunnel entrance before hiding behind a few different smaller rocks located just next to the cave wall and only a few dozen meters away from the entrance to the tunnel.
During the entire process of sneaking out of the tunnel entrance, Xuan Hao made sure to keep an eye on both the primeval fire ants and the human Domain Lords. After all, there was no way he could just trust a group of complete strangers. Especially given their current circumstances and the fact that they might try to use him as a distraction to escape themselves…
The reason why they were so friendly since meeting, was likely due to the fact that the primeval fire ants were located just next to them!
Rumble~
Keeping an eye on everyone, Xuan Hao could not help growing nervous as he watched the tunnel beginning to shake violently all of a sudden. Quietly deciding to move as far away as possible, while both the human Domain Lords and the primeval fire ants had their attention focused on the tunnel that began shaking more and more violently with each passing second.
Screeeeeech!
Along with a rather annoying screeching sound, the first emerald appeared. Instantly alerting primeval fire ants, who remained silent for a short moment to examine the spider that had suddenly appeared inside their nest.
Screech!
Seemingly undeterred by the cave filled with primeval fire ants, the emerald demon spider charged forward and attacked the closest primeval fire ants.
Given the fact that the emerald demon spider that had appeared was at the First Stage of the Domain Lord Realm, the destruction brought upon by it attacking the outer edges of the sea of primeval fire ants was instantly visible, as most of the primeval fire ants located there was only at the Core Formation Realm.
Boom!
The attacks of the emerald demon spider instantly killed thousands of primeval fire ants. Followed by the fact that more and more emerald demon spiders appeared from the tunnel entrance, the large sea of primeval fire ants instantly began responding to the sudden attack by the emerald spiders that had begun pouring into their nest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon enough, both the emerald demon spiders and the primeval fire ants were engaged in a bloody battle.
Xuan Hao and the other human Domain Lords were watching this bloody scene happily, as none of them had been discovered yet.
Looking for an opening to charge through the battlefield and reach a tunnel leading towards the cave of the ancient teleportation formation, Xuan Hao kept his attention mainly focused on the Domain Lords present inside the cave.
Most of the primeval fire ant and emerald demon spider Domain Lords were already locked in battle, but for some reason. The stronger Domain Lords on both sides had not moved yet.
Because of this, the human Domain Lords had yet to act and were still waiting around looking for an opportunity just like him.
The battle continued like this for the next minute before one of the stronger primeval fire ants suddenly moved. Instantly killing two of the emerald demon spider's weaker Domain Lords.
BOOM!
Along with the move from the primeval fire ant Domain Lord, the emerald demon spider's stronger Domain Lords also joined the battle.
Not even a few seconds later, an opportunity appeared!
This is it!
Seeing a Peak Domain Lord emerald demon spider and a Peak Domain Lord primeval fire ant begin clashing with each other, Xuan Hao decided to take his chance and rush towards the tunnel entrance leading to the next cave.
Using the highest speed possible under the suppression in the primeval jungle, Xuan Hao jumped on the head of a giant emerald demon spider before using it as a steppingstone to jump across the battlefield in the direction of the tunnel leading to the next cave.
Bang!𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Whoosh~
Along with jumping off the head of the emerald demon spider, the sheer strength put into his legs instantly crushed the head of the unlucky emerald demon spider that had been chosen to be used by him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The emerald demon spider was not alone in this unfortunate fate, as several other emerald demon spiders and primeval fire ants encountered the same fate only a few seconds later. Having been used by Xuan Hao to traves through the chaotic battlefield without having to deal with anyone attacking him-
Fwoosh~
At least he would have liked for things to play out like that, but a few nearby primeval fire ants at the Domain Lord Realm had almost instantly spotted him, as they launched several enormous balls of fire towards him while charging over. Not showing the slightest bit of care towards the primeval fire ants that they would inevitably end up killing with their attacks.
Swish~
BOOM!
Narrowly dodging the attacks from the primeval fire ant Domain Lords, Xuan Hao nimbly ran past them without fighting before continuing his charge towards the tunnel leading out of the now war-torn cave.
Much to the bewilderment of the primeval fire ant Domain Lords, who had expected for him to fight with them…
