First release!

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "No problem!"

Then Ye Chenfeng glanced at the several people behind him, "How about you?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Ouyang Qingcheng pondered for a moment, "We’ll follow you!"

Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fell on those people.

Without hesitation, they said, "Naturally, we’ll follow you!"

"Good, let’s set out!"

Ye Chenfeng took the lead, with Bai Jie at his side, holding a Tang sword.

The others followed behind, while Li Yang and the Thief ran off in another direction.

Even without the Thief, Ye Chenfeng was still full of confidence because he had his "Loner Dog" in hand, which had allowed him to overcome each obstacle thanks to its preemptive predictions.

The disagreement in judgement between him and the Thief was simple, according to Loner Dog’s judgement, the path Ye Chenfeng had chosen was dangerous, while the one chosen by the Thief was safe.

Yet Ye Chenfeng had still chosen this path, knowing that danger and treasure coexisted.

This corridor was different from the previous ones, which were complex and intertwined. Now, there was only one path stretching into darkness, and all the stone doors beside it were closed.

The corridor was very deep, and after an unknowable amount of time, suddenly, Ye Chenfeng heard rustling sounds, and Bai Jie felt it too.

"Hmm? That’s odd. I’ve sensed a fluctuation, could it be some kind of treasure?" Ye Chenfeng questioned with a suspicious look and whispered.

After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, the people behind couldn’t help but ask, "What did you say?"

"There seems to be some treasure ahead, I can feel it," Ye Chenfeng frowned as he felt along the wall.

The next second, a rumbling sound filled everyone’s ears, like some heavy object was moving fast, heading their way.

In such a dim environment, the presence of such a noise tightened everyone’s hearts, sweat dripping profusely.

The person leading from behind looked uncertain and pointed at Ye Chenfeng, "You, go check out the situation ahead!"

"Let’s go!"

Ye Chenfeng exchanged a knowing glance with Bai Jie, then the two cautiously moved forward to investigate.

"What’s going on? It’s been quite a while, why haven’t they come back yet?" The person expressed doubt after some time.

Ouyang Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes glinted, and she twitched her nose, "Maybe they’ve encountered some danger! No, that’s not right, why do I smell gasoline?"

Ouyang Qingcheng looked down and noticed there was liquid slowly flowing over the ground.

"Bang bang!"

No sooner had she spoken than two shadows flew over, crashing heavily onto the ground.

It was Ye Chenfeng and Bai Jie.

"What happened?"

Holding his chest, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help saying, "There’s treasure ahead, but it’s guarded by a master! We’ve been attacked!"

The man’s eyes lit up, directing, "You three, go up and take a look! Use firearms if possible!"

The leader, with double swords pointing at Chu Qingxue and her sister’s necks, dispatched three people to move forward and check.

The three, carrying AK-series weapons, cautiously advanced, plunging into the darkness.

"Da da da..."

Immediately, there was a burst of gunfire, and a flickering firelight could be seen ahead, while the hearts of those behind were suspended.

"Uh-ah..."

But in the next moment, three people were seen screaming and running towards this side.

When they saw what was behind these three, everyone broke out in a cold sweat all at once.

Because chasing after the three was actually a spherical object with a radius of two and a half meters, and the members making up the spherical shape were indeed ants the size of fingertips, and the ants were white, with two huge antennae that looked horrifying.

The spherical object almost filled the entire corridor, moving with the speed of lightning.

Now not only were the three of them panicking, but everyone was.

"Uh-ah..."

The one running at the back bore the brunt, instantly caught up by the ball of ants, letting out a scream before being reduced to a bare skeleton in the blink of an eye, the flesh consumed completely in a flash.

Although this scene was short-lived, it was too shocking for the heart.

"Ah!"

Everyone’s faces changed, and almost at the same time, they began fleeing for their lives.

The two who had looked back, even for an instant, were caught up by the white ant ball with the speed of thunder, engulfed by them, and turned into two more skeletons.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were brimming with fervor, and at the same time, he forcefully twisted on the wall beside him, and with a rumble, a stone door opened immediately.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ye Chenfeng shoved Bai Jie and Ouyang Qingcheng into it, and the two women following behind Ouyang Qingcheng also came in.

Meanwhile, the man in the mask pushing Chu Qingxue and her sister towards the stone chamber saw Ye Chenfeng’s lips curl into a cold smile as he stood at the door, causing the three to panic visibly.

But Ye Chenfeng merely tossed a lit lighter without blocking their path.

"Boom!"

The very moment the white ant ball arrived, the stone door closed just in time, keeping those ruthless creatures right outside.

"Hiss!"

However, just as Ye Chenfeng tossed that lighter in the corridor outside the stone chamber, the entire corridor suddenly burst into flames, an unending fire spread rapidly, like a sea of fire engulfing everything.

And in an instant, the white ant ball was surrounded by a sea of flames, burnt to ashes.

"You... You ambushed me?" Inside the stone chamber, the man in the mask looked at Ye Chenfeng incredulously.

Ye Chenfeng smiled indifferently, "What ambush? In any case, your men are useless, better used as cannon fodder."

"You... You’re seeking death!"

It turned out that Ye Chenfeng had already known that the approaching thing was terrifying, so he had used the promise of treasure to get the masked man to assign him to check it out. In reality, he and Bai Jie had gone ahead to pour out the gasoline from their backpacks and then pretended to be injured to get the masked man’s subordinates to come forward. He lured the white ant swarm and lit the gasoline in the corridor with a lighter as they entered the stone chamber.

The switch for the stone chamber had been discovered by Ye Chenfeng feeling around on the wall earlier, calculated every move carefully, not only burning the ants to death but also using the opportunity to kill three of the masked man’s subordinates.

Ye Chenfeng laughed nonchalantly, "Look at you, getting so angry. Your men died with value at least, they helped remove an obstacle for us!"

"Ye Chenfeng, you should realize your current situation, your woman is in my hands!" said the masked man coldly, his anger reaching a boiling point as all five of his subordinates had been killed in a short period of time.

Ye Chenfeng’s aura suddenly surged, and with an equally cold gaze, he retorted to the masked man, "Then kill them! It’ll spare me the trouble of doing it myself!"

"Gah!"

At these words, the masked man was stunned, the Chu sisters were stunned, Bai Jie and the two girls were stunned as well—they didn’t understand why Ye Chenfeng would want the man to kill Chu Qingxue and her sister.

Only Ouyang Qingcheng did not show the slightest surprise, as if she had known about it all along.
