CH 289

Right when we were happily dealing with the monsters, the human soldier shuddered. Only now did I saw his name, Scout Qin Ge, a really easter name.

I turned around, "You are a scout sent to Firefly Town?"

"Yes."

His face was still filled with gratitude, "Young adventurer, did Linchen County send you over?"

"En, you can consider it like that."

I nodded, "Cavalry Chief Kalu told us to come here to find the scout team, are you a member of them?"

"En." Dejection and worry appeared on his face, "We were ordered to investigate but who knew that we would fall into their trap. When we realised, we were surrounded by the ant wave. On the first day we lost half our members."

"Then?" Lin Xi turned around and asked.

"Then..."

His face was filled with dejection, "The leader led us up the bell tower and we tried to use it to defend. However, the lack of food and resources placed us in a tough state. Each day, many of us would get killed for searching for food. Their bones were right in front of us, but... There was nothing we could do!"

Lin Xi frowned, "Then how did you charge out?"

"To send out the signal for help, the captain ordered two members to protect me to charge out. But along the way, they lost their horses and died to the ants... As for me, after my hourse was eaten, I was barely able to flee."

I pointed behind, "It is a lot safer behind, you can head to the Cavalry Chief to report the situation."

"What about all of you?" He asked.

Lin Xi smiled, "Our mission is to wipe out these ants and then head to Firefly Town."

"No!"

He shouted, "You can't die for nothing, that is a demon town... You don't know that the Dimension Legion Territory has turned that into a trap. They have sent large amounts of ants. Underground is already an ant nest. They are using the 200 thousand stone of grain as their food to raise a strong army.

No matter how many we send, we would all be swallowed by ants. All of you definitely can't go!"

"If that is the case..."

I looked at his emotional expression and said, "Find Kalu to report the situation and warn him to not send soldiers over. We will defend slightly and then gather up with all of you."

"Okay!"

He nodded, "Then all of you be careful."

"En!"

He turned and swama cross before disappearing into the wilderness.

...

"He left." Lin Xi said.

"En, what else can he do if he didn't leave." I smiled, "He is just a scout that got terrified, he won't be of help too. Moreover, he told us all the useful infomation. Once we clear out the ant wave, we will head in and find the bell tower. Since they could defend the tower for a month, it would be great experience."

Lin Xi burst out laughing, "That is exactly what I feel!"

"Haha~~"

Just like that, we hunted for close to an hour. Under Shen Mingxuan and Gu Ruyi's firepower, the few miles of Moving Army Bugs were all killed. Right in front of us, their corpses piled up like mountains. The gold and equipment dropped piled up too!

"Done!"

After Lin Xi confirmed that there weren't any more left, she smiled, "Clear up the battlefield and then prepare to enter Firefly Town."

"En."
