Soon, they returned, and the two night guards joined them. In Lin Changhong’s palm lay several corpses of fire-eating ants.
But these fire-eating ants seed no different from ordinary ants. Even Lin Changhong and Yue Chushui, who had just arrived from the Wilderness, couldn’t recognize them at first, just like Yuan Jue.
"Sangsang, I just saw these ants. Seems like the little guy got hungry tonight and made himself a snack," Lin Changhong showed the fire-eating ants to his sister before intending to discard them.
"Don’t move!"
Seeing this, Lin Caisang imdiately stopped him.
"These are fire-eating ants, not ordinary ants."
She looked at Sui Zimo and then at the fire-eating ants in her brother’s palm.
"What? They turned out to be fire-eating ants?!"
Upon hearing the words ’fire-eating ants,’ Yuan Jue instantly lost his composure.
"What’s the matter? Is there sothing wrong with fire-eating ants? They’re just as small as any ant," Lin Changhong dismissed it, thinking there was nothing to worry about.
However, he failed to notice that Yue Chushui’s face had also turned grave upon hearing Lin Caisang ntion fire-eating ants, glaring at Lu Tianfeng and the others.
At that mont, Lu Tianfeng, as if anticipating the situation, was already lying down feigning sleep with Zhe Feng, facing away from them, hiding their expressions.
Lu Tianfeng’s face looked even more troubled.
He thought fire-eating ants were his secret weapon, believing those people wouldn’t be able to avoid falling for it.
Yet, he hadn’t expected that even Sui Zimo possessed a demon capable of detecting his fire-eating ants. What exactly was that demon which he hadn’t seen before?
Furthermore, he pondered deeply but couldn’t recall seeing such a demon on the Illusion Continent.
"Damn it!"
He cursed quietly under his breath.
Without needing Yuan Jue to explain further, Yue Chushui began elaborating on the danger of the fire-eating ants.
"Fire-eating ants are typically fed with poison, making them deadly weapons. A bite from a bred fire-eating ant can be fatal, depending on the strength of the poison.
This small fire-eating ant can incapacitate soone with just a bite, leaving them open to slaughter without a trace."
Moreover, being so tiny and hard to detect, they are a threat that’s impossible to guard against.
It’s a truly vicious plot!"
By the end of his explanation, he ground his teeth, wishing he could charge forward and butcher those two on the spot.
"Them... I’m going over there to confront them!"
Listening to him, Lin Changhong trembled with rage, and if not for Yuan Jue holding him back, he might have rushed over to kill those two.
"Don’t go over, don’t act impulsively."
Yuan Jue held Lin Changhong back, preventing him from advancing.
He had thought clearly, knowing that even if they confronted Lu Tianfeng now, the fire-eating ants were already released, and mostly killed by the little guy with purple eyes.
If Lu Tianfeng denied it adamantly, he might even counter-accuse them of false allegations!
"They didn’t gain any advantage. Instead, we killed these fire-eating ants, which can be seen as a lesson for them. Confronting them now, they will never admit it."
"Hmph!"
Lin Changhong let out a heavy grunt.
Taking a deep breath, he clenched his teeth and threw the fire-eating ants in his hand to the ground before stomping on them furiously.
