Chapter 1292 Fireball

Generally speaking, ants are afraid of liquids and can easily drown.

Especially with a smelly liquid like gasoline, they will always choose to go around it if they encounter it.

But the situation today was different; those ants only paused for a moment before fearlessly rushing into the fire trench.

The first batch of ants that rushed into the trench undoubtedly drowned, and soon a layer of ant corpses floated on the surface of the fire trench.

However, the ants behind them were not afraid, stepping on the corpses of their companions and charging towards the other side of the trench.

It was originally thought that this fire trench could block the ants' advance, but unexpectedly, in just a short while, they were about to cross it.

Seeing this scene, Noviski frowned and ordered the guards next to him, "Light it!"

In desperation, they could only use fire to temporarily block the ants' offensive.

The guard struck a match and threw it into the fire trench; the gasoline ignited upon contact with the fire, suddenly bursting into flames.

This method was very effective; under the intense fire, those ants were immediately burned to ashes, and even the ants near the fire trench were reduced to cinders.

For a time, the entire air was filled with the smell of burning, which was nauseating.

The ants behind them, fearing the power of the great fire, finally stopped their advance.

Seeing this scene, the people in the fire trench secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having blocked these damned creatures.

However, everyone only relaxed slightly, and then another problem arose.

The gasoline they brought was, after all, limited, and at this rate, it would probably be completely used up in less than half an hour.

And these ants had only stopped their advance, with no intention of retreating; it would still be a problem when the gasoline ran out.

"Damn it, where did these things come from?"

Noviski cursed angrily, then said to Sofia, "Have you encountered these things before?"

Sofia shook her head: "No, this is my first time seeing so many ants."

"Damn it, these things are simply devils."

Noviski felt for the first time that ants could be so terrifying; once they breached the defense line, he might survive by relying on his powerful cultivation, but that was all; he couldn't kill all these ants, and everyone else would be finished.

If that happened, his mission would fail, and he would inevitably face the wrath of the Lawrence Family upon his return.

Angry as he was, he had no solution to the current situation.

Neither his cultivation nor the advanced weapons he brought this time had much effect on the ants.

Feili looked anxiously at Ye Bufan, for some reason, this man had unconsciously become her last psychological reliance.

"Dr. Ye, please think of a solution!"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, they're just little ants, it's nothing."

At this moment, among everyone present, he was the calmest and still able to smile.

"Little ants? You haven't seen how terrifying these guys are."

Noviski vented his anger and frustration on Ye Bufan; this Chinese man clearly had no real ability, yet he was trying to act calm at this moment, obviously trying to win the Young Miss's favor, a trick he could see through at a glance.

Ye Bufan glanced at this guy: "Mr. Noviski, what do you mean?"

"My meaning is very clear: don't pretend if you don't have the ability."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter whether I pretend or not; I am a doctor, and guarding the team's safety is not my responsibility.

I remember someone saying when we came that as long as he was here, there would be no danger, and it hasn't been more than 24 hours yet, if I remember correctly?"

"I…"

Noviski immediately turned red-faced and speechless.

He had indeed said that, and as the captain of the guard, protecting the team's safety was his responsibility, it had nothing to do with others.

It was just that the Death Grand Canyon was too strange; he had never expected so many ants to appear here before.

Seeing the atmosphere become a bit awkward, Sofia stepped forward and said, "Alright, the top priority now is for everyone to find a way to get out alive."

After she finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, clearly having no solution.

Facing this situation, one option was to defend, and another was to escape.

Now, with the gasoline running out, they could no longer defend.

And there were simply too many ants in front of them, a vast black expanse under the moonlight, almost boundless; how could they possibly escape in such a situation?

Ye Bufan did not speak, but his expression remained calm, showing no signs of tension.

As time passed little by little, the reserve gasoline finally ran out.

The moment the fire went out, everyone's hearts leaped.

The ants seemed to be impatient, disregarding the scorching hot fire trench, and rushed over en masse.

"It's over, it's really over now."

Noviski looked at Feili next to him, "Young Miss, let me take you away, we can't hold out here anymore."

At this point, with his cultivation, taking one person away was still possible, as for the rest of the people, he couldn't care so much.

"No, I can't abandon everyone."

Despite her fear, Feili still stood next to Ye Bufan, showing no intention of escaping alone.

"Young Miss, hurry and leave, if you don't go now, it will be too late…"

Noviski looked anxious, seeing that ants had already crossed the fire trench and were about to attack their side.

"Alright, I'll do it."

The Future, who had been silent, stepped forward.

"You? What can you do…"

In this team, Noviski looked down on Ye Bufan the most, and second only to him was this little girl; in his opinion, these two should not have come along and interfered.

But before he could finish speaking, the Future's lips moved, and then a massive fireball appeared in her palm.

"Break for me!"

After a soft shout, the fireball suddenly flew out, landing on the ground and transforming into a raging inferno that spread in all directions, its power even more intense than the gasoline just now.

Although the fireball's duration was very short, just a flash, that one instant had completely incinerated the ants within a hundred-meter radius.

"This…"

Noviski watched in stunned silence; he never expected this little girl to be an Art Grandmaster, and her cultivation was extremely high.

Judging by the power and speed with which she cast the fireball spell, she must have reached the Peak Realm of an Art Grandmaster.

Such a powerful Art Grandmaster, even he would have no advantage against her.

How ridiculous that he had looked down on her before, and had just been mocking her, only to be proven wrong in an instant.

The others were equally shocked; no one expected this most unassuming little girl to be a powerful Art Grandmaster.

Seeing the Future instantly resolve so many ants, these people immediately cheered, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from their hearts.

But soon, everyone's expressions became solemn again; although the fireball spell had just incinerated the ants within a hundred-meter radius, there were simply too many of them, and countless more ants immediately swarmed in, forming an encirclement again in the blink of an eye.

The Future cast another spell, using another fireball spell.

With the Phoenix hairpin, her casting speed had increased, and her power had also greatly improved.
