Chapter 38： The Kingdom Of Ants (1/2)

Wei Huo went on with his journey. He found a black cat chewing on a rat along the way; it was a giant cat about the size of an Alaskan Malamute. The rat was not small either, it was as big as an adult cat.

The giant cat did not notice Wei Huo at all when he walked past them. That was not unusual.

As Wei Huo went back to traveling alone, his title 'The Loner Neglected By God' seemed to have come into effect. Even when he was right behind some animals, they did not sense his presence at all.

Wei Huo guessed that his presence was stronger when he had animals or humanoids by his side.

Now that Wei Huo was back to being alone, his passive ability was being put to use.

However, the success of this ability depended on probability. Although 70% was pretty high, it was still possible for Wei Huo to be discovered by animals, such as the black cat next to him right now.

Wei Huo was just walking by when the black cat seemed to have felt something behind it. It turned around and jumped when it saw Wei Huo. It jumped about seven to eight meters high and landed on a tree branch.

The black cat which jumped on the tree branch had its fur stood up while growling at Wei Huo after taking a good look at him.

Wei Huo was dumbfounded. ”...”

'How did that have anything to do with me!?'

The black cat continued growling at Wei Huo mercilessly with its claws out.

Wei Huo was annoyed. ”If you're that courageous, come at me! You probably wouldn't anyway.”

Wei Huo was confident in his capabilities. Just as he said that the black cat jumped towards Wei Huo the next moment with its claws reaching for his face.

Wei Huo was left speechless. ”...”

He underestimated the stubborn cat.

Wei Huo extended his hand and pressed the black cat onto the ground. He then pinched the back of its neck causing the black cat to be immobile.

Soon after that, it began crying as it stared at Wei Huo with its watery eyes. It was trying to escape.

Wei Huo smiled and let it go.

Only the strongest could afford empathy, and most of that empathy was to avoid trouble in the future. That was why Wei Huo chose to let it go.

As Wei Huo loosened his hand, the black cat quickly ran away. Not once did it look back as it rushed into the bushes and moments later, he could no longer hear any rustle.

At this very second, there were sounds coming from the Ant Tower ahead of him. Wei Huo looked over and found that a huge group of ants was charging towards him. They surrounded Wei Huo quickly. Each ant was about as huge as an Alaskan Malamute. They encircled Wei Huo and kept using their antennae to sniff Wei Huo's scent.

Wei Huo realized what was going on. The rustle just now must have attracted them.

Ants did not have eyes or ears. They communicated only with their scents. Their language was made of various combinations of scents. They even left trails of their scents on the ground as a guide.

They discovered Wei Huo after detecting his scent. Although Wei Huo's passive ability was effective, it was no match for the crowd of ants in front of him!

If one or two ants could not discover him, would three or four ants not do the trick?

The ants surrounded Wei Huo and hesitated.
