Everyone knew that the force of the swamp below was strong, and facing so many Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants consumed both spiritual power and mental energy.
The Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants they had just killed were only a small fraction of the swarm.
“Master Brooks has already used divine spells twice, let me show my skills now,” Brody said loudly.
He wanted to regain some face.
After speaking, Brody let out a low shout, and his figure instantly transformed into a golden afterimage.
In the next moment, Brody appeared at the forefront of the group, unleashing golden blade lights that extended for hundreds of feet.
Within the range of the golden blade lights, any Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants were instantly split in half, their blood splattering.
The corpses of the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants fell from the sky, clearing the path ahead once again.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Cameron’s divine spell to be so powerful,” Beau said seriously.
“Hehe, Mr. Morris overpraises me,” Brody said with a hint of pride on his face. “Let’s move quickly.”
The group advanced a bit further, but Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants surrounded them again from all directions.
“This time, let me show my skills,” Beau chuckled. The long sword in his hand surged with wind-element spiritual power, creating a loud whistling sound.
“Divine Spell, Whirlwind Slash!” Beau’s eyes flashed sharply as he swung his sword three times.
With the fall of the three sword lights, three tornado-like whirlwinds formed ahead.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the tornadoes were composed of countless tiny wind blades.
Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants within hundreds of meters were swept into the tornadoes and directly shredded into pieces by the wind blades, their remains scattered everywhere.
The scene looked both bloody and spectacular.
“Fellow cultivators, let’s go!” Beau said in a deep voice as the path ahead cleared once more.
They advanced again but still did not escape the encirclement of the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants.
At this point, there was still a considerable distance to the other side of the swamp.
“Divine Spell, Rain of Swords!” This time, the twin sisters took action, and a rain of swords fell from the sky continuously.
Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants were pierced by sword lights…
After advancing a bit further, Timothy’s figure flashed as he charged into the group of Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants ahead.
Wherever his hammer shadows passed, Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants either had their heads smashed or their abdomens caved in, clearing the path once more.
Next, a mysterious man hidden in a gray robe took action.
The bone spikes in his hands shot out like white afterimages, piercing through the abdomens of dozens of Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants in succession.
Then Violet took action. Hundreds of fiery red lights burst from her Mysterious Fire Lingering Gauze, dancing in the air like flowing light.
As the fiery red lights passed by, Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants burned and fell from the sky.
The group advanced again, now only two or three kilometers from the other side of the swamp.
Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants gathered again from all directions without fear of death. The thick smell of blood made their attacks even more frenzied.
“Mr. Bloomer, it’s your turn,” Brody glanced at Leo.
Everyone had used their divine spells except for this one-eyed man.
Leo killed a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant with one sword strike and ignored Brody. Instead, he looked at the red swamp ahead with a gleam in his eye.
“Leo?”
“Violet, there’s something underground that hasn’t come out yet. Be careful,” Leo transmitted to Violet using a secret method.
Violet was slightly stunned but then nodded.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Leo naturally wouldn’t make an exception. Lightning burst from his Dragon Sword as he flashed into the group of Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants ahead.
Sharp Thunderstrike Slashes erupted, killing dozens of Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants instantly.
“We’re almost at the other side. Everyone, let’s push forward together and break through in one go,” Brooks shouted loudly.
“Let’s all push forward together. Once we reach the shore and enter the forest, these beasts won’t chase us relentlessly,” Beau added.
Just as they planned to charge to the other side of the swamp in one go, they noticed all the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants on the swamp and in the sky moving chaotically.
The terrifying compound eyes on their heads all looked towards one spot in the swamp with a reverent expression.
“What’s going on?” This strange scene made everyone’s faces change, giving them an ominous feeling.
The ground in front of them undulated.
Then a huge red earthen light membrane emerged from beneath the swamp.
The earthen light membrane was three times larger than those before it, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
Bang!
The earthen light membrane shattered.
A Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant as large as a hill, with fiery red patterns all over its body, appeared before them.
Its crimson compound eyes stared coldly at them from mid-air.
The aura it emitted was astonishing; it had reached the Demon King level.
Seeing victory so close yet suddenly facing a Demon King-level beast left everyone feeling indescribable emotions.
“This Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant must be… the queen!” Beau suddenly said after recovering from his shock.
At this moment, the queen ant let out a hissing sound as if signaling something.
“Damn humans! How dare you invade my territory and kill so many of my children? You all deserve to die!” The queen ant spoke in a hoarse and sinister voice.
“Ant colony, obey my command! Kill all these humans!” The queen ant ordered.
Upon hearing her command, all Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants went berserk. Their crimson compound eyes stared at the nine people in mid-air with madness.
In an instant, hundreds of Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants leaped up, swinging their sharp fiery red legs at them.
Looking around in mid-air, all they could see were ferocious Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants.
Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants from afar quickly surrounded them as well.
Facing so many Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants and a Demon King-level queen ant made their expressions turn grim.
If it were only the queen ant, they could probably kill it together.
But now they faced both the ant colony and its queen. Unless they could kill every single ant in the colony, escaping the swamp would be nearly impossible.
At this point, there was no choice but to fight desperately to kill them all.
After a fierce battle, Beau gritted his teeth and said, “With the queen’s command, these Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants have gone completely mad!”
A Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant’s leg slashed down beside him, startling him greatly.
At that moment, a cry rang out as a Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ant’s sharp leg slashed across Holly’s leg.
