Chapter 128 – Thrilling Battle

After another two seconds passed, Cheng Yang once more rushed out a hundred meters. At this time, he has felt the serious consumption on his body. If he continued to run as such full speed, then after seven or eight second, his speed would slow down. This couldn’t be helped. A weak body has always been a magician’s weakness.

As the saying goes when it rains, it pours. Suddenly, there were sporadic shadow rushing out from the front. What else could these dark shadows be besides Bone Devouring Ants? In just a blink of an eye,, these sporadic dark shadows morphed into a colony, and then welled up towards Cheng Yang’s direction.

Shock and horror filled Cheng Yang’s heart. This was simply pushing him into a dead end. Could it be that this would be the place where he was going to die after being reborn again?

No!

Wasn’t this only a colony of Bone Devouring Ants? Cheng Yang was frustrated at himself for having such troubles with this group, but reasons told him that these Bone Devouring Ants were definitely a group that came straight out of hell.

The quantity of Bone Devouring Ants coming out from both sides added up to no less than 3,000, just in line with the amount Cheng Yang suspected before the reduction. At this point, everything became clear.

However, discovering the truth wasn’t going to help Cheng Yang escaped from this predicament. The Bone Devouring Ants in front of him was already less than ten meters away. It would takes them a mere half a second to mow down those bushes. In addition, the other side was spread out into a wide net about fifty to sixty meters long. There was simply not enough time for him to run out of the encirclement.

Cheng Yang’s feet shuttled quickly down the road, in his mind he hated his mom and dad for giving him these two legs below his waist. If they were just a bit longer, he could might be able to run a greater distance. At the very least, it would had guarantee him a bigger chance of survival.

Cheng Yang’s Ice Thorn has been off of cooldown for a while now, but he didn’t immediately use the skill because killing dozens more Bone Devouring Ants would not had made a big difference to the overall situation.

Finally, more than 20 Bone Devouring Ants arrived in front Cheng Yang’s body. Their pincers aimed at his waist, hoping to take a big bite out of his flesh. Cheng Yang twisted his body to avoiding the incoming attacks, but several pincers impacted on his body as he slipped by them. Cheng Yang groaned, with an expression of pain all over his face.

However, Cheng Yang was aware that now was not the right time to fight back. He endured the pain, and chugged down a bottle of health potion down his mouth. Even though these 20 or so Bone Devouring Ants only dealt less than 50 damages to him, which was less than a third of his entire health, he didn’t dare take the risk. Immediately, he used a health potion to restore his health back to full health.

After all, health potion needs a certain amount of time before they could takes effect. This time limit was very short. It was only a second. However, the time limit was still there. In fact, such a time limit was actually very normal. After drinking a bottle of health potion, it needs to go down to the abdomen to have an effect. This time limit was used up in this location.

Cheng Yang was attacked right after taking the health point. It happened in a blink of an eye, and the effect of the potion immediately dispersed. However, he didn’t stop but instead rushed forward at his fastest speed.

As he ran, more and more Bone Devouring Ants came before Cheng Yang. These little monsters flushed below Cheng Yang’s body, and immediately bite down at him.

Moreover, mixed within these monsters were some first medium-order Bone Devouring Ants, which could take away 2 points of Cheng Yang’s health. This was very powerful. After withstanding this wave of attacks, he was able to insist on dashing roughly 20 meters.

At this time, Cheng Yang had taken another bottle of health potion. There’s nothing that could done about this. More than 50 Bone Devouring Ants attacked him, causing him to lose 100 points of health per second. This kind of danger made Cheng Yang dare not leave the situation to luck.

At this point, his path has already been covered with Bone Devouring Ants. If he stayed a bit longer, he would surely be submerged in a sea of ants. The only way out was to keep moving forward.

In a flash, roughly 20 Bone Devouring Ants climbed up along Cheng Yang’s legs. Their bodies were extremely flexible. Once they climbed up, it was very difficult to throw them off.

This time, Cheng Yang didn’t hesitate. Towards the top of his head, he instantly released Ice Thorn.

Large tracts of ice thorn fell down from above his head, but as the caster of the magic, the spell naturally couldn’t hurt him. However, for the Bone Devouring Ants that was pouring around him, hundreds of Bone Devouring Ants instantaneous lost their luster.

When the Ice Thorn skill finished, Cheng Yang was shocked to discover that he had a little over 20 points of health remaining. This was definitely due to the 20 or so Bone Devouring Ants that initiated an attack on his legs along with the previous attacks. Seventy first medium-order Bone Devouring Ants attacking together were very abnormal, it almost sent his soul to the underworld.

Right now, it was as if he was walking on a tightrope of life and death. One careless mistake would make the situation beyond redemption. Cheng Yang’s heart was very jumpy. He swore that the next time he see such a perverted race, he would make sure to walk around them. Of course, for there to be a next time, he must first ensure that he could get out of here alive first.

A bottle of health potion once more entered his belly. The dangerously low health rose to about 150 points.

There was still 20 meters remaining. Due to the dire situation, Cheng Yang felt extremely stressful, and his physical exhaustion was also very serious. In addition, the dense surface of Bone Devouring Ants made him feel huge efforts it would need to overcome these last 20 meters.

Keep running forward……

This was Cheng Yang’s sole thought in mind. .

Presently, the Bone Devouring Ants has become extremely packed in front of him. Every step he takes forward, there would be 10 Bone Devouring Ants climbing up his leg, and their first action was to attack him. Moreover, Cheng Yang’s pace was around seven or eight steps per second. Even though he could rushed out of the ant colony in these seven to eight steps, his body would also be faced with the simultaneous attack of roughly seventy to eighty Bone Devouring Ants. And right now, there was no Ice Thorn skill to save him.

In three steps, Cheng Yang has suffered from three waves of attack from the Bone Devouring Ants, dropping his health by nearly 60 points. However, in front of him was still over 10 meters, waiting for him to pass.

If he choose to jump, jumping a distance of six to seven meter would be cinch to accomplish. However, this method would seriously slow down his speed, and the landing would inevitably create a short pause time, which would finally lead to a worse outcome.

In this short moment, thousands of ideas flashed through Cheng Yang’s head. If he rushed out in accordance to the normal method, he would absolutely died while making the run.

Ice Thorn was still on cooldown and neither could he drink a health potion….

Was this situation truly hopeless?

Suddenly, he thought of something. Why must he limited himself to skills and potions? Although they had considerable advantages, that doesn’t mean other things didn’t had any value.

He felt his heart rapidly racing. Cheng Yang had already taken the next step. Seeing that his foot was about to fall, a drug hoe instantly appeared underneath his feet. His left foot slammed on the handle, causing his body to rise up again and suddenly propelling his right foot forward…

When the right foot falls, a heavy sword was inserted into the ground, Cheng Yang stepped on the hilt of the sword and quickly leaped up again.

On the next step…… a shield …

.Next….. a broken iron sword …

Once the potion cooling time was finished, a bottle of health potion instantly appeared out of the storage ring by his mouth, before going down his throat. Before these Bone Devouring Ants could attack him again, his health was already back at full health.

At this time, Cheng Yang was finally able to run out of the Bone Devouring Ant’s encirclement. Almost immediately after running out he used Ice Thorn, turning the Bone Devouring Ants still attached on his body into his power value.

Taking a quick glance at the Bone Devouring Ants at his the rear, a feeling of receiving a new lease of life welled up in him. These last four seconds was no doubt a train ride between life and death. If each action was just a bit slower, Cheng Yang wouldn’t had been able to escape from the encirclement. The result could had easily been changed to falling in the siege of ants, and perhaps even his bones wouldn’t had been left behind.

But the actual reality was different. He managed to rush out and this represents his victory. Since the Bone Devouring Ants couldn’t buried him under the sea of ants, let him be the one to bury this colony.

Cheng Yang’s heart was filled with hatred for these colony of Bone Devouring Ants. Now that he had escaped from the encirclement, there was no need to madly flee again with the speed of these ants.

A wave of ice thorns fell from the sky, putting a large number of Bone Devouring Ants at the very front to death. Cheng Yang also had a clever idea in mind. This time, he no longer receded straight backward but instead circled the colony of ants. This way even if the other side wanted to implement the same strategy over again, they would not succeed.

One Bone Devouring Ant after another was killed by him. He didn’t know when the special task he had accepted was completed, but at this point Cheng Yang could care less. He only wanted to use the fastest speed possible to reap the lives of these Bone Devouring Ants.

Soon, the number of Bone Devouring Ants left in front of Cheng Yang was less than 100. His face finally revealed a relieved smile. Although these monsters were tough, but as long as the right method was found to deal with them, exterminating them was easy.

After all, this Bone Devouring Ant was just an ordinary ant. No matter how powerful their racial talent was, in the end they couldn’t fly. If it was changed to a monster that could fly, Cheng Yang would’ve definitely hide away as far away as he could.

Just when Cheng Yang was ready to quickly solved the rest, he suddenly noticed one of the Bone Devouring Ants dashing off in the opposite direction. Its action really stands out from the rest of the Bone Devouring Ants that charged at him with no fear for death.

Could Bone Devouring Ants be afraid of death? This was the first time Cheng Yang heard of this.

Even so, Cheng Yang wasn’t going to let it escape so easily. Although Cheng Yang still didn’t dare rushed inside the remaining members of the ant colony, he still had a skill left to use.

“Freeze!” A low sound came from his mouth. That Bone Devouring Ant that was attempting to escape was instantly frozen in place with no possibility of making any movement.

It was followed by a wave of ice thorns, killing most of the Bone Devouring Ants. The remaining Bone Devouring Ants had not been overlooked by Cheng Yang. Although there was no difference in size among the Bone Devouring Ants, it was possible to tell them apart by their movement speed. He could see that the rest of the Bone Devouring Ants were only in the first early-order.

Now that the Freeze skill has been upgraded to level 2, it was able to freeze its enemies for three seconds. With another wave of ice thorns, there were only a few of them left.

Cheng Yang didn’t had time to deal with these weak leftovers, because the Bone Devouring Ant that was frozen by him was about to flee.
