What’s beneath the ground?
Ant nests.
Now the ground has sunk.
It ans that the ant nest deep underground has collapsed.
The Bee Demon can no longer use just two words to describe its shock.
It can only stare blankly at the Snake-man, and that Scepter.
It seems that it’s still not over at this point.
Just watching the blue smoke rising from the ground.
The color of the smoke is a light blue.
One glance and it’s eerily odd.
With years of breathtaking experiences, the Bee Demon frantically flies upwards.
Boom!
The already barely holding ground surface collapses completely.
The barren ground below has long been devoured cleanly by the ants.
No one knows how many ters they’ve gnawed downwards.
It was assud that this collapse would be a straight drop of hundreds of ters.
Who knew that, apart from the initial few ters of sinking, there would be no further movent.
When it sees that the blue smoke has almost entirely dissipated.
It can’t help but fly down for a look.
Feet landing on the ground, neither too soft nor too hard, not all just loose soil.
It’s surprised for a mont.
Then looks down carefully.
Realizes that those aren’t loose soil.
They are chunks of stone.
About the size of a thumb, and they even look quite like those deadly ants.
This thought flashes through the Bee Demon’s mind.
It’s suddenly startled.
Looks down.
This isn’t just vaguely resembling ants.
Aren’t these ants turned into chunks of stone??
It can’t help but reach down and scrape a few tis.
Finds that there are still ants not turned into stone underneath.
But those ants, one by one, are terribly unsightly in black and purple.
The Bee Demon flies up once again.
Saliva involuntarily swallowed.
Both shocked and disgusted.
Have all these ants died?
All of them??
It doesn’t believe it, flying incessantly around the entire barren ground, the ants it previously feared to an extre, now hoping to find even one alive.
Ants are social creatures.
Always moving together.
Naturally, when they die, they also die together, completely gone.
...
Su Yan tightly embraces Hua Qing.
Hua Qing whispers in her ear,
"They’re all dead."
Su Yan keeps her eyes shut, not letting go.
After a long ti, she speaks slowly,
"Let’s go, get away from here."
Hua Qing rarely sees her like this.
He lifts her in his arms.
With a flick of his robe, the Scepter disappears again.
His throat moves, he responds in her ear,
"Okay, I’ll take you away."
This ti, Hua Qing moves quickly, not lingering further.
Two hours later, they have completely entered the Demon World.
Only then does Hua Qing’s speed slow down.
He looks down at the person in his arms.
Realizes she is still clenching her eyes shut, refusing to open them.
With a smirk,
"We’ve already left that place."
Hearing this, Su Yan slowly opens her eyes.
She finds they’ve entered a city, with occasional Demons passing by on the streets.
Su Yan gradually loosens her grip on his clothes.
Her heart calms down a lot.
It’s only now that she realizes she is soaked through.
Her hands still unconsciously trembling.
Hua Qing doesn’t say much, just keeps holding her tight in his arms.
Until they enter an inn.
He pays with gold leaves and they go into a room.
He sets her down on the bed.
Watching her slowly wipe the sweat from her cheeks.
He bends down, looking at her,
"So scared?"
Su Yan sorts out her emotions, initially wanting to shake her head.
In the end, she still nods dejectedly,
"Very scared when lots of little worms gather together, can’t even walk."
