Chapter 68: Chapter 63 Free Entry and Exit i

Fourth possessed great wisdom, and it must have rushed in because it saw that the termites that had entered were not coming out.

It might have even sensed their cries for help from inside.

By the time Qin Niu called it back, it was already too late.

Its body was becoming blurry bit by bit, and it was oblivious to Qin Niu’s commands.

Once it reached the edge of the area covered by the Ancient Banyan Tree, as its body began to blur, it seemed to be cut off from sensing the outside world.

Watching Fourth charge in, Qin Niu’s eyes also became increasingly fierce.

Fourth had saved his life before and was extremely important to the entire ant colony; he would not just stand by and watch it die inside.

He believed that he could make it out a second time since he had the first time.

Back then, the ant colony was so weak and yet it managed to rescue him.

Now being a hundred times stronger, there was no reason they couldn’t escape the Ancient Banyan Tree’s entrapment.

He sped up making the rope.

As time passed, the termites that had entered and Fourth, who went in last, had not come out.

Qin Niu’s heart had already sunk to the bottom; he harbored no more wishful thinking.

At that moment, he urgently created a vine rope nearly two hundred meters long.

It was crude, but also very sturdy.

He tied one end to a pine tree, then called out two Swift Ants from the temporary ant nest and took them with him.

“Ant Queen, I am now going to break into that terrifying area to rescue the other termites. Do not come out of the temporary nest,” he said.

“Understood.”

Her reply was simple and straightforward.

Qin Niu no longer hesitated; while it was still early, he quickly went in.

Shouldering the basket, with Treasured Sword close at hand, he walked forward, laying out the rope as he went.

Later, he would be able to pull himself out by the rope.

As he approached the edge of the Ancient Banyan Tree area, he felt nothing amiss. But he knew very well that by this position, his body should have already begun to blur.

He looked back outside, and sure enough, as expected, the pine tree was now faint and indistinct.

“Fourth!”

The fear Qin Niu felt entering the Ancient Banyan Tree’s area for the second time was much less than the first time.

The Ancient Banyan Tree still stood quietly in front of him just like last time.

The thick trunk supported a vast canopy that overshadowed the area like a grand umbrella.

He forged ahead while searching for the termites that had entered.

Soon, he found one of the termites.

It was the one that had ventured in first.

At this moment, it was circling around a fern.

If Qin Niu hadn’t come in, it probably would have kept circling until it died.

Qin Niu bent down and picked it up.

He placed it together with the two Swift Ants he had brought with him.

“Thank you, master.”

It excitedly expressed its gratitude to Qin Niu.

Having suddenly appeared in their despair to rescue them, Qin Niu had brought it immense joy.

“Do you know where the other termites are?” he asked.

“I can sense their presence, but somehow I can’t reach their location no matter what.”

Qin Niu had guessed as much.

He began using a faint sense to search for the termites that had lost contact after entering.

This Ancient Banyan Tree was very strange; from the outside, one could not sense anything inside.

But once inside, the interference was much weaker.

“Master! I’m here! I can hear your call,” came a message from Fourth.

Qin Niu searched in that direction.

On his way, he saved three more termites that had been trapped.

It seemed that relying on them to guide the way inside was not very reliable.

Why hadn’t they lost their way the first time?

When Qin Niu found Fourth, seven termites were following it.

This indicated that Fourth had a relatively clear sense of direction inside.

“Fourth, do you get lost in here?” he asked.
