ing. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement inside.Duan Wei said with some confusion: "What's going on Why is there no movement at all Could it be that they haven't found the letter"...Ants are generally afraid of liquids and can easily drown.

Especially gasoline, this smelly liquid, it would choose to go out of its way once it encountered it.

But today was different. Those ants only hesitated for a moment before charging bravely into the firebreak.

The first batch of ants that rushed into the ditch were undoubtedly drowned. Soon, a layer of ant corpses floated on the surface of the fire trench.

But those ants behind showed no fear, stepping over their fallen comrades and charging towards the opposite side of the ditch.

I originally thought this firebreak would be able to stop the ants' advance, but I didn't expect that in just a short while, they were about to charge over.

Seeing this scene, Novikowski frowned and ordered the guard beside him, "Set it on fire!"

With no other choice, I could only use fire to temporarily hold back the ants' advance.

The guard struck a match and tossed it into the firebreak. The gasoline ignited instantly, flaring up with a whoosh.

This method is still very effective. Under the fire, the ants were immediately burned to ashes, and even the ants near the firebreak were turned to ash.

For a time, the whole air was filled with the stench of burning, making people nauseous.

The ants behind were afraid of the power of the fire and finally stopped moving forward.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the fire trench secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having stopped these damned fellows.

Although everyone relaxed a little, another problem soon arose.

The gasoline they brought is ultimately finite. Burning at this rate, it probably won't last more than half an hour before completely running out.

And these ants just stopped, showing no intention of retreating at all. The problem remains even when the gasoline runs out.

"Damn, where the hell did these things come from"

Novikov cursed angrily, then said to Sophia, "Have you guys ever encountered this thing before"

Sophia shook her head. "No, this is the first time I've ever seen so many ants."

"Damn these things, they're just devils."

Novicksi first felt the terrifying might of ants. Once they breached his defenses, he might be able to survive with his powerful cultivation, but that would be all. He wouldn't be able to kill them all, and everyone else would be doomed.

This way, his mission would be a failure, and he would surely face the wrath of the Lawrence family upon his return.

Though he was angry, he had no solution to the situation before him.

Whether it be his cultivation level or the advanced weaponry he brought, it wouldn't have much effect on the ants.

Fili felt a surge of anxiety as she looked at Ye Bufan. For some reason, this man had become her last psychological crutch.

"Doctor Ye, think of a way!"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, aren't they just some little ants It's nothing."

Of all the people present here, only he remained calm and could still smile.

"Little ant You haven't seen how terrifying these guys are."

Novitsky vented all his anger and frustration onto Ye Bufan. This Chinese man clearly wasn't capable of anything, yet he was still pretending to be calm at this moment, blatantly trying to win over the Miss's heart. He could see through these cheap tricks at a glance.

"Mr. Novikovsky, what do you mean by this"

“My meaning is very clear, don't pretend if you don't have the ability.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Whether I pretend or not doesn't matter. I'm a doctor, and protecting the team's safety is not my responsibility."

I remember someone saying when we arrived that there was no danger as long as he was around. That seems to have been less than 24 hours ago, right

"I..."

Nowinski flushed crimson and was speechless.

He did say that, and as the squad captain, it's his responsibility to protect the team's safety. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

It's just that Death Valley is such a strange place. I never would have imagined there would be so many ants here before.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Sophia stood up and said, “Alright, the most important thing now is for us to figure out how to get out of here alive.”

She said this, and everyone looked at each other, obviously no one had a way.

Facing this situation, one way is to stand your ground, and the other is to run away.

Now gasoline is being used less and less, it can't hold up anymore.

But the ants in front of me were simply too numerous. Under the moonlight, they formed a pitch-black expanse, their boundaries almost invisible. How could I possibly escape in this situation

Ye Bufan didn't speak, but his expression remained calm and collected, showing no signs of nervousness.

As time slowly passed, the reserve gasoline finally ran out.

The moment the flames died down, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.

Those ants seemed eager to get to us, not caring about the burning fire trench, and swarmed over here in a mass.

"It's over, this is truly the end." Novikov looked at Phili beside him. "Miss, I'll take you away. We can't hold out here any longer."

By now, he could easily take one person away with his cultivation. As for the rest, he couldn't be bothered anymore.

"No, I can't leave everyone behind."

Lily, though frightened, remained by Ye Bufan's side, showing no intention of fleeing alone.

"Miss, hurry up and leave, it's too late!"

Novitski looked anxious, watching as ants were already crossing the fire trench and preparing to attack.

"Okay, I'll take it."

The ever-silent future stepped forward.

"Are you coming What can you possibly do..."

In this team, Novitskiy first looked down on Ye Bufan, and the second was this little girl. In his view, these two people shouldn't have come along to meddle at all.

Before he could finish his words, Future's lips moved, and a massive fireball materialized in the palm of his hand.

"Get me out of here!"

After a light shout, the fireball shot out suddenly and landed on the ground, transforming into raging flames that spread outwards. The power was even fiercer than the gasoline just now.

Although the fireball lasted only a fleeting moment, in that single flash it incinerated all ants within a hundred-meter radius.

"This…"

Novitski was dumbfounded. He never expected this little girl to be a cultivator, and her cultivation level was extremely high.

Seeing the power and speed of the opponent's fireball spell, they should have already reached the peak of a master sorcerer.

Even with such formidable cultivation, this cultivator would have no advantage against him.

It's laughable that I used to look down on others and even mocked them, only to have my face slapped in an instant.

Others were also shocked, no one expected that this most inconspicuous little girl would actually be a powerful cultivator.

Seing that the future had solved so many ants at once, these people cheered and were overjoyed, their hearts feeling much lighter.

But soon everyone's expressions became grave again. Although the fireball spell had just incinerated ants within a radius of a hundred meters, there were simply too many of them. Countless more ants swarmed in immediately, forming a new encirclement in the blink of an eye.

Future once again cast a spell, and another fireball shot out.

After obtaining the phoenix hairpin, her speed increased significantly, and her attacks became much more powerful.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!re it exerted caused everyone to retreat repeatedly.Ye Bufan looked up, and a wizened old man with white hair and beard approached.Although it looked thin and dry, the aura emanating from it was truly...
