After sustaining so losses, the wasps imdiately increased their flight altitude. The flying ants followed them up but, limited by their body size, soon wobbled and fell.
This led Xiao Feng and the others to conclude that the flying ants couldn't fly too high.
Of course, compared to Xiao Feng and company, who couldn't even get off the ground, being able to fly was already quite comndable.
"Boss, what do we do now?" Hui Yi asked, a bit flustered.
Xiao Feng chuckled in exasperation, "Where's that amazing skill you bragged about earlier? Hurry up and get these flying ants out of their misery."
"rciful Buddha, monks are compassionate, afraid even to harm ants when sweeping, and cherish moths that hover around lamps. How can I start a killing spree?" Hui Yi shook his head and refused.
Lone Wolf aid a flick at Hui Yi's head and grumbled, "At a ti like this, you're still talking nonsense. Can't you be a bit more serious?"
Xiao Feng felt a rush of comfort in his heart; as a leader, he couldn't just go around hitting people, but Lone Wolf, being a peer, certainly could.
Rubbing his head, Hui Yi sulked to the side, nervously watching the flying ants as if afraid they would launch a massive attack at any mont.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Feng turned his gaze to a small restaurant with an open door at the alley's entrance and said to Hui Yi, "Go to that restaurant and buy their fan.
If they don't have one, buy a large fan. It's winter now, so they don't need it; you can get it for a regular price."
Hui Yi didn't imdiately act but rather stretched out his hand, "Where's the money?"
Xiao Feng frowned, giving Lone Wolf a look.
Lone Wolf understood and flicked Hui Yi's forehead again, angrily saying, "Why are you always thinking about money!
You're a monk, how can you constantly think about money, money, money?"
"..." Hui Yi.
He could now pat his chest and say, the biggest regret of his life was getting in the sa car with Xiao Feng tonight.
But there was no choice; the car door was welded shut, and getting out was impossible. He'd just have to go down this path till the end.
In fact, although Hui Yi liked to show off, giving off a sowhat unreliable vibe, he still had the necessary strategic vision.
This was also why Xiao Feng insisted on pulling him along in the car; with anyone else, they probably wouldn't handle the situation any better than Hui Yi.
Hui Yi sprinted towards the alley entrance, while Zheng Wei slowly sat up from the trunk.
Chewing on the flying ant not yet fully out of his mouth, he savored it like a gourmand enjoying a top-notch delicacy, "Sesa-flavored, anyone want a taste?"
Xiao Feng sighed and self-deprecatingly chuckled to himself.
He once thought possessing Thunder Pattern Steel made him invincible, but it seems unless directly smashed on a person, unexpected incidents like this were unavoidable.
Thunder Pattern Steel paired with that knockout spray was more than enough to deal with ordinary people like Bi Junxian and Fang Si, but for experts at Zheng Wei's level, it seed inadequate.
Zheng Wei stretched his upper body, then tossed away the five-centiter length of rope left on his leg and cleaned his ears.
Finally, he closed his mouth and forcefully exhaled through his nose, "blowing" the flying ants inside out.
The entire sequence of actions was unhurried, completely devoid of urgency.
Lone Wolf glanced at the alley entrance, noticing Hui Yi still hadn't returned, and couldn't help complaining, "That monk must be negotiating, haggling over there!"
Xiao Feng and Xue Nuofu didn't respond, but judging by Hui Yi's usual miserly behavior, this was likely the truth.
Zheng Wei leisurely climbed out of the trunk, stretched, and yawned, "That nap was terrible. Are you all ready to die?"
Xiao Feng wore a grave expression. He picked up a flying ant from the ground, placed it in the palm of his other hand, slowly closed his fist, but didn't crush the ant, allowing so space.
"Take your ti investigating; when I lose my patience, you can go ahead and die," Zheng Wei sneered, seemingly unconcerned that Xiao Feng could discover any secrets.
A mont later, Xiao Feng unfurled his hand, pinched the flying ant between two fingers, and ended its life.
In truth, he had no intention of discovering anything from the flying ant; he only wanted to test the intensity of its attack.
The ultimate conclusion was that it was five or six tis stronger than a regular ant, but while its bites were painful, it couldn't kill anyone.
With that assurance, Xiao Feng could confidently proceed with the plan to use the fan or blower to disperse the flying ants.
"If I don't see you in thirty seconds, I'll dock your entire month's salary!" Xiao Feng shouted towards the alley entrance.
In less than ten seconds, Hui Yi's voice arrived before he did.
"Coming! Coming! Coming!"
"..." Xue Nuofu.
"..." Lone Wolf.
So sensitive about money, what's this about always claiming to be a monk?
In the last ten seconds, Hui Yi dashed in holding a small fan, sprinting like he was in a hundred-ter race.
"Boss... the fan... is here!" Hui Yi panted heavily.
Only to see Xiao Feng with eyes closed, counting down, "Three, two, one!
Okay, don't worry about your salary this month."
"???" Hui Yi looked dumbfounded, "I brought the fan here within thirty seconds."
Xiao Feng coldly sneered, "Please note, I said if I didn't see you in half a minute, your month's salary was gone, not that hearing your voice counted.
So, clearly, I didn't see you in thirty seconds."
"..." Xue Nuofu.
"..." Lone Wolf.
"..." Hui Yi.
If you had your eyes closed, wouldn't seeing him be like seeing a ghost?
Another person equally frustrated was Zheng Wei, who wanted to ask: Did you all consider my feelings?
Getting angrier the more he thought about it, he said coldly, "Laughing and joking even at death's door, let show you the power of the Celestial Defect Sect."
However, Hui Yi didn't seem to care about such threats, persisting in pestering Xiao Feng, "Boss, you can't dock my salary. Do you know how hard I work every day?
Consider my master's face, and think about my junior sister. You really can't do this to ."
"I really don't want to dock your salary," Xiao Feng said in a very helpless tone, "but words once spoken cannot be withdrawn.
If I say I'll dock it and then don't, I'd be slapping my face."
Xue Nuofu was on the verge of madness, angrily saying, "Can the two of you be serious?
If you don't resolve the imdiate problem, there's no need to worry about salary, you'll just have soone burning paper for you."
As he spoke, a gloomy-faced Zheng Wei pulled out a handful of flour-like white powder from his pocket, scattering it into the air.
The flying ants on the ground imdiately took to the air, flocking to the powder in mid-air, arranging themselves like soldiers in a tidy formation.
All they awaited was the trumpet's call, and they would launch a fearless assault!
