Xiao Yi said in shock, “What?! A single mistake would cause the entire group to be unable to continue the challenge. Isn’t that too much of a pity?”
Ling Xuewei said, “That’s right. Originally, with the strength of their group, they could at least challenge one or two levels higher.”
Xiao Yi immediately said, “Then we have to protect Ye Fei well! He is the absolute main force of our group!”
As he said that, he stuffed the healing potion he had allocated into Ye Fei’s hands and said, “I don’t need so much. Keep some more. Your pet must not be injured and eliminated!”
Ye Fei saw that Ling Xuewei and Qing Kui seemed to want to follow suit, so he quickly refused.
“I’ll give it to you guys. You guys can keep it. I have enough here. Besides, you guys have to protect your pets well.”
“Let’s try not to eliminate any of them. Let’s fight to the highest level together!”
Xiao Yi immediately echoed, “Yes! Let’s fight to the highest level together!”
The four-man team began the challenge with high morale.
The first level of the cell was densely covered with fiery-red ants!
The walls, the ground, and even the ceiling were covered in them!
The thick layer turned the entire cell into a fiery-red color!
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuewei immediately screamed!
The scarlet flame ants were alarmed by Ling Xuewei’s cry and instantly swarmed toward the four of them like a tide!
“Root entanglement!”
Ye Fei quickly summoned the nine-leaf sword grass and used its ability.
The black roots instantly spread out in all directions with Ye Fei as the center.
However, there were too many scarlet flame ants!
Ye Fei alone could not control the entire ant colony!
“Ling Xuewei! Quickly release the skill!”
Ye Fei roared loudly. Ling Xuewei was shocked back to her senses and hurriedly released her pet, Xiao Wei, to help Ye Fei control the ant colony.
The nine-leaf sword grass and the rose complemented each other, and more than half of the densely packed scarlet flame ant colony was controlled.
However, there were still quite a number of ants that escaped the net.
The nine-leafed sword grass’s entanglement ability had already reached its limit, and Ling Xuewei’s rose was also at the end of its tether.
The rest could only be forcefully killed!
“Lunar Direwolf! Lightning Claw Attack!”
On Ye Fei’s command, the Lunar Direwolf immediately charged into the ant colony. Its sharp claws waved rapidly, and large patches of scarlet flame ants were torn into pieces.
Qing Kui was also unwilling to fall behind. She released her little white tiger to fight side by side with the Lunar Direwolf.
With a wolf and a tiger blocking in front, none of the scarlet flame ants that were not controlled were able to get close to Ye Fei and the others!
Xiao Yi also released his pet crystal scorpion and gently patted its tail. “Go!”
The Crystal Scorpion also entered the ant colony. It used the poisonous needles on the tip of its tail to stab continuously, killing the surrounding scarlet flame ants one by one.
Although the scarlet flame ants were only the lowest level 1-star black iron pet beasts, their single-target damage was extremely low. They were practically unable to cause any damage to Ye Fei and the others pets.
However, their numbers were really too large. Ye Fei and the others did not have any area-of-effect damage skills, so they could only use single-target attacks to deal damage. It was really very tiring to fight.
“If only I had an area-of-effect damaging ability…”
Xiao Yi looked at his giant crystal scorpion poking the red flame ants one by one, and his heart was really anxious.
How could Ye Fei not wish for an area-of-effect ability?
Otherwise, if he kept using single-target skills, how long would he have to grind it out?
At this moment, the long-awaited system notification sounded once again —
[ Beep, activating skill ‘clear out the red flame ants’. ]
[ Mission Requirement: Kill 1,000 red flame ants using the nine-leaf sword grass. ]
[ Mission Reward: Area-of-effect damaging ability ‘Blade Dance’. ]
