Dragon's Origin

Finally, they made it through the ant swarm. When they could no longer see a single black and red shadow, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, not caring about their image.

For a short twenty minutes, any one of them could usually fight a formidable opponent for that long without faltering. But now, even though they hadn't fought anyone to the death, they felt as if they had exhausted all their strength.

Never before had a battle left them feeling so tired, nor had a battle ever given them such a sense of escaping death. Now, they finally felt it.

Apart from the crackling sound of the burning flames, the only sounds coming from the twenty-odd people were heavy breaths. Everyone had narrowly escaped death, and no one was in the mood to talk.

After relaxing, everyone took out food and water to replenish their strength as quickly as possible, otherwise they wouldn't be able to cope with any further dangers.

They had finally witnessed the dangers of the Thousand Severance Ground. How far had they gone in? Fifty, sixty miles? Less than a hundred miles and more than half of the trackers were dead. If they went deeper, who knew what kind of crisis they would encounter.

At this moment, a question naturally arose in everyone's mind. If Wang Sheng wanted to go further in, would they follow or not?

"Do we... still have to chase?" someone finally asked timidly.

The speaker was a Third Stage expert from the Shi family, but at this moment, he didn't have any of the pride and vigor of a Third Stage expert. He looked like an abused and aggrieved little wife, so helpless and cautious.

As the question was raised, everyone's eyes focused on the three Fifth Stage experts from the Tang, Song, and Shi families, the three pillars of support for everyone.

The two experts from the Song and Shi families didn't speak, staring at the burning circle of wood, as if their minds were wandering. Only Tang Ao coughed softly, drawing everyone's attention, including the two experts from the Song and Shi families.

"Don't chase..." Tang Ao only said these two words, and saw the joy on the faces of a few people. Tang Ao sighed inwardly and said the rest of his words: "If we don't chase, what do we do? Turn around and chase the ant swarm?"

The words 'ant swarm' seemed to have become a taboo in everyone's hearts. As soon as they heard these words, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction where the ant swarm had disappeared, fearing that they would suddenly see the ant swarm reappear.

Not seeing the black and red tide, everyone's hearts settled down. However, Tang Ao's words also plunged everyone into silence.

The direction in which the ant swarm disappeared was the way they had come. If they wanted to return the same way, they would have to go in that direction. Who dared? Having just escaped death, they wouldn't dare to experience that terrifying scene again, even if they had ten thousand times the courage.

Change to another direction? No one would bring up this question. Everyone was an expert, and after tracking for so long, and experiencing the previous Six-Star Earth-Cleaving Bear and man-eating ant swarm, who didn't understand that they could get here thanks to Wang Sheng's efforts?

If they had to explore the Thousand Severance Ground on their own, it would be impossible to go this deep. Judging from the strength of the Six-Star Earth-Cleaving Bear, any monster on the periphery could wipe them all out. If they went in another direction, who knew what they would encounter?

By following Wang Sheng, being smarter and more perceptive, they might be able to detect some danger in advance and then deal with it in advance. If they didn't follow, no one knew what would happen.

The current situation seemed to be that they had no choice but to follow. Although Tang Ao's words were helpless, they were also the truth. Everyone cheered up and quickly recovered their strength, lest they couldn't even catch up with Wang Sheng, which would be a big trouble.

While the trackers were resting, Wang Sheng had already embarked on the road ahead. On Earth, army ants leave nothing alive in their wake, but afterwards, it is a good place for animals to live and thrive. Parasites on various trees and vegetation are eaten, and large amounts of excrement and undigested debris are left behind, all of which are excellent fertilizers.

Plants will first become vibrant, and naturally drive the animal survival environment to be better and more suitable for survival. It is thought that man-eating ants are the same. Therefore, in the short term, there will be no powerful monsters because the man-eating ants have passed, but it is hard to say how long it will last.

If he didn't take advantage of this time to rush forward, he would miss the best opportunity. Wang Sheng slid down the big tree almost as quickly as possible, and then rushed forward at a rapid march speed.

The combat awareness little man did not give a warning again, proving that Wang Sheng's judgment was completely correct. After the carpet-like sweep of the man-eating ants, there were almost no powerful monsters in this direction, not even ordinary monsters. It can be said that the road was smooth.

From beginning to end, Wang Sheng seemed to have never panicked. The strong psychological quality of the ace sniper allowed him to remain calm at all times. On Earth, there were times when snakes passed over Wang Sheng's face and body during ambushes, but Wang Sheng did not panic, motionless like a stone.

This strong psychological quality was enough to make Tang Ao and the others who followed him ashamed to death. Unfortunately, Tang Ao and the others did not know what their rest time meant. Although restoring physical strength was necessary, what they had to face was even more terrifying. There must be gains and losses. Gaining physical strength meant they were destined to lose something.

Wang Sheng marched rapidly for a full half an hour before he saw the first monster. Wang Sheng was lucky. It was a herbivore, similar in appearance to the wildebeest of the African savanna on Earth, but at least three times larger.

The Thousand Severance Ground is not only home to powerful monsters, but also to a complete biosphere. A complete food chain exists so that those powerful monsters can survive. These herbivores are the food of those powerful monsters.

Ahead was a wide river, at least two hundred meters wide, and of unknown depth. The river's flow was not very rapid, and it looked very calm. There were many scattered black and red corpses of large man-eating ants floating on the water, which were constantly being swallowed and disappeared by the fish in the water.

Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng knew that those man-eating ants came from this direction, and they crossed the river. The corpses of those large man-eating ants were proof.

There was more than one giant wildebeest monster, at least three were wagging their tails and drinking water by the river. They seemed to have noticed Wang Sheng's arrival from afar, but the wildebeest monster only looked up at Wang Sheng, felt that Wang Sheng's little thing was not a threat, and ignored it, only caring about lowering its head to drink water.

Wang Sheng ignored the wildebeest monster hundreds of meters away, ran to the river, took out his binoculars, and observed the opposite side.
