Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space - Chapter 247: Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant Attack

Quite soon.

He came to his senses.

Then, he turned his head.

In that interval, he hadn’t said a word.

Lin Jing, however, directly ignored him.

Here, Liu Yiyuan, even if he bore a grudge, wouldn’t dare to take action.

Lin Jing then moved closer to listen.

The disciples of the Qingyuan Sword Sect were at that time trying to calm the others.

From their words, Lin Jing could tell.

This disciple probably didn’t know what had exactly happened inside either.

Only Lin Jing knew…

That the commotion must have been caused by the three Nascent Soul Elders battling the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.

Just at that moment.

A few more people from the Qingyuan Sword Sect approached, and Senior Han was among them.

The Qingyuan Sword Sect disciple who had been appeasing the crowd upon seeing several people, promptly saluted the first Elder to walk up:

“Elder Qin…”

The Elder Qin nodded, and then spoke:

“There has been a temporary accident here, and the spirit-cleansing cultivation has ended ahead of schedule. Inform everyone to retreat.”

“Yes…”

“Elder Qin.”

The disciple, along with several other Qingyuan Sword Sect disciples behind him, replied together.

After that.

The group spread out to start checking each and every cave dwelling.

While some people had already emerged, others were still cultivating inside the cave dwellings.

They were looking for these people.

At this time.

Those who had already emerged from the cave dwellings hurriedly questioned Elder Qin:

“Elder Qin, may I ask what happened inside?”

“To actually require us to terminate our cultivation early?”

Elder Qin scanned the group with a glance and then said:

“Something indeed happened inside the cave dwellings, there is no need for you to inquire further; you will come to know in time.”

“You all should now leave first…”

But before Elder Qin could finish…

Suddenly.

A loud “boom” resounded.

And this time it was even more exaggerated.

The ground itself began to jump, and rocks from both sides and above began to fall.

After that tremor.

Cracks appeared on the floor and walls beneath everyone’s feet.

And it was at this moment.

Lin Jing noticed some dark red lights flickering within the cracks, seeming to squirm.

Lin Jing leaned in, peering carefully into the crevice.

Only then did he see clearly that these wriggling things were the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.

Lin Jing was startled upon seeing the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.

Unknown to him, these ants had appeared there.

The others had clearly noticed this as well.

Many looked carefully into the cracks.

After a moment…

Those who recognized the Devouring Spirit Ants could not help exclaiming:

“Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants!!!”

Accompanied by the crowd’s exclamations, these ants seemed as if they had just awakened, slowly crawling out from within the cracks.

Everyone realized what was happening.

Some promptly used spells, slapping them towards the emerging ants.

These Devouring Spirit Ants were not large, only a bit bigger than ordinary ants.

The spells that struck these ants immediately killed and wounded them in large numbers…

Seeing this, the spellcaster let out a sigh of relief.

“Everyone…”

“These Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants aren’t a concern; with a single spell from each of us, we can eradicate them.”

He announced this to the crowd.

Obviously, this person didn’t understand the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants well.

At this moment.

It was Elder Qin who spoke up to explain everything for him.

“Once these Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants appear, there are more than just these. The more dangerous ones are still behind. Let’s hurry up and leave while we can…”

No sooner had Elder Qin finished speaking than a few clever people started running forward.

The cultivator who had just wiped out some of the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants hadn’t yet reacted and was still standing there dumbfounded.

Seeing that some people had already run quite a distance, he finally snapped back to reality, realizing the severity of the situation and hastily ran forward.

However,

Lin Jing did not run away with the others.

Because he saw Senior Han coming toward him.

When Senior Han reached Lin Jing’s side, he said,

“Your cultivation is too low. Stick with me later, I’ll protect you.”

But at that moment,

Not far in front of Lin Jing, the stone wall suddenly cracked open, and a Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant, as large as a millstone, emerged from it.

And as it happened, the cultivator who had just cast spells to annihilate a swarm of Devouring Spirit Ants had just run there.

He was hit head-on by the millstone-sized Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.

He had just begun to realize what was happening.

He hastily cast a spell toward the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant, but it had no effect on the ant, only serving to enrage it further.

Then,

The Devouring Spirit Ant lunged at him, biting towards his neck, and in one bite decapitated him.

The man didn’t even have the chance to let out a scream before he perished…

…

…

The others, upon seeing this, instantly broke out in a cold sweat and were scared into continuously backing away.

Especially Liu Yiyuan, who had also planned to rush out at that moment.

He had followed just behind that cultivator, merely a few meters away.

However,

He reacted very quickly.

The moment the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant burst out, he had already moved back quickly.

Thus, he narrowly escaped.

This Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant was clearly beyond their ability to handle.

As for Senior Han, he also reacted swiftly.

As soon as the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant appeared, he immediately pulled Lin Jing back.

Going straight to Elder Qin’s side.

Upon seeing this, Elder Qin quickly spoke up to everyone,

“Everyone, come behind me, I’ll lead you out…”

After hearing this, the crowd quickly came to their senses.

They hid behind Elder Qin.

At this moment, not only in front…

But also behind them, numerous Devouring Spirit Ants were crawling out from the cracks.

Seeing this, no one was idle.

Various spell lights shone brightly, and Magical Treasure Flying Swords flew together, clearing the Devouring Spirit Ants closing in on them.

These Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants were the weakest kind; a single spell could kill a large swath of them.

However…

They seemed inexhaustible, with more of them appearing from the cracks just after killing a group.

Elder Qin, meanwhile, charged forward and started fighting the millstone-sized Devouring Spirit Ant.

As a Golden Core Immortal, Elder Qin was obviously much more formidable than the ant.

It didn’t take long for him to slay the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.

Afterward, Elder Qin continued to address the crowd,

“Let’s go, follow me…”

Having said that, Elder Qin took the lead and charged ahead.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

They advanced through the passages in the cave.

On the way, they encountered several caves, all with their doors wide open.

The inhabitants had already fled.

Which made sense.

Such a commotion would likely awaken anyone.

With that thought…

Lin Jing suddenly thought of Li Tangyu and Huang Qingling…

He wondered what their situation was like in the inner area and if they had encountered an attack by the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants?

He could only hope that they were all safe…
