Step on the stars

Chapter 1498 Tracking
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and looked around. Anzi killed the team and must have taken away some of the ants. The trembling breath can suppress the star energy, this is the star envoy.

This Anzi turned out to be an astral envoy.

This is no longer An Zi, it may even be Red Back.

Shen Hai withdrew his hand, bloodshot eyes appeared on his fingertips, and said hastily, "Everyone, don't touch the wound of the corpse, the power left behind is very strong."

He got up, with a solemn face, and looked at Lu Yin, "it's the power of the star envoy level."

Lu Yin nodded, stared diagonally to the upper right, "Going in that direction, chase."

Shen Hai frowned, "Chasing? Brother Qi, that's the star envoy."

Lu Yin said, "I know, as long as we find his trace and confirm his identity, he will be reported to the headquarters immediately, and we don't need to arrest him."

Shen Hai shook his head, "How could the star envoy be easily confirmed by you? Before you confirmed his identity, he had already noticed you and couldn't chase you. The situation here needs to be reported, but the other party is a star envoy, which is beyond what we can fight against." range, and our mission is only to clean up the Dire Ant."

Lu Yin thought for a while, "That's right, then you go on, I'll go find him."

Shen Hai's complexion changed, and the faces of the people around him were all ugly, "Ah Qi, the General Command appointed me as the captain, you are not allowed to leave without authorization."

Seeing the miserable situation of these people around, how could Shen Hai and others be willing to let Lu Yin leave? It was too insecure. They didn't want to die, and they wished that all the masters would gather together.

"That's right, Brother Seven, we also want to catch Anzi, but our task is to clean up the Ants. Catching Anzi is the mission of the poor family, and it has nothing to do with us. Maybe someone from the poor family has already chased him," someone said.

Everyone else agreed, and no one wanted Lu Yin to leave.

Lu Yin said firmly, "I must go."

Shen Hai clenched his fists, "Ah Qi, I am the captain appointed by the General Command. If you dare to leave without authorization, I will report to the General Command."

Lu Yin's face darkened, and he stared at Shen Hai.

Shen Hai and Lu Yin looked at each other, softened their tone, and persuaded, "People need to see clearly the bottom line of their abilities. You are only at the enlightenment level, and the other party is a star envoy. If you don't chase after them, no one will blame you. Go, let's go." You may die in vain, why bother, the higher-ups already have a plan to deal with these dark creatures, it has nothing to do with us, we just need to clean up the horror ants, and we can go back in a year at most."

"Yeah, don't go."

"yes".

...

Lu Yin said indifferently, "How do you know that I am not one of the plans of the superiors to deal with Anzi?".

Shen Hai's expression changed, "What did you say?".

Lu Yin looked around, "I'm leaving, everyone take care."

"Wait" Shen Hai hastily stopped Lu Yin, and then said to the people around him, "I decided to chase after him, how about you?".

People around looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Lu Yin wondered, "Why did you change your mind?".

Shen Hai is helpless, "I have practiced all my life, and I know that being with the right person is more important than increasing strength. If you follow you, there may be a way to survive. Without you, we might have died when we encountered the corpse king last time. In this case, we can only follow along the way It's dark."

The people around them also felt that it made sense.

Half an hour later, Lu Yin and his team moved obliquely upwards to the right following the perceived depression of the stars, and encountered a group of people surrounded by fear ants.

They came to clean up the ants, but being surrounded and devoured by ants is not a surprise.

Shen Hai led a group of people to fight, and it took more than half an hour to deal with those ants.

The captain of that team was named Cheng Ji, a strong man with a cultivation base similar to that of Shen Hai, and his weapon was a strangely shaped cicada-winged knife. Before Lu Yin and the others arrived, nearly half of the team had been lost The dire ants devoured it, not even the bones remained, and the rest were still immersed in fear and numbness.

"Thank you Captain Shen for your help," Cheng Ji said gratefully.

Shen Haidao, "It should be, how long has Captain Cheng been trapped here?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on the Cicada Wing Knife, and he found that it did not match the wounds of the group of people who died before.

Cheng Ji sighed, "For two full hours, if Captain Shen and you guys hadn't come, we would all be finished."

Lu Yin glanced at Cheng Ji and his party, it wasn't them, they just happened to be in the way of chasing Anzi, did Anzi bypass them on purpose?They were really cautious, lest someone would follow them, they specially found a group of people to stop them in the middle, maybe the fear ants were also attracted by that shadow, just to delay their time, even if no one was following them.

This is Anzi, acting cunningly and secretly. There is a reason why human beings have been unable to eliminate Hongbei and Anzi for so many years. They are too shrewd and cautious.

Cheng Ji and others fought against the ants, which disrupted the repressive feeling of star power left by the void, making Lu Yin unable to continue tracking, so he had to give up.

Shen Hai breathed a sigh of relief, if he could, of course he didn't want to chase after a star envoy, and he would also like to thank Cheng Ji and the others. Thinking about it, Cheng Ji's eyes became more friendly.

Nearly half of Cheng Ji's team lost, he had no choice but to join Shen Hai's team, Shen Hai did not refuse, and the team grew stronger.

Lu Yin was not reconciled, and proposed to continue walking in the previous direction, but Shen Hai did not refuse.

Cheng Ji glanced at Lu Yin in surprise, keenly aware that the team seemed to respect him very much.

Continue to walk in that direction, two days later, they encountered a group of people surrounded by fear ants, Shen Hai and others took action immediately.

Lu Yin also made a move. Before joining Cheng Ji's team, he had told everyone not to reveal his strength. At this moment, he deliberately concealed his clumsiness, and Shen Hai was still the strongest.

Not long after, the team members were rescued, the captain had died, and there were only less than five members left in the team, each of them felt the joy of surviving after the catastrophe.

A day later, a group of people discovered that a team was surrounded by horror ants.

This is not right, they are here to clean up the Horrors, not to escape, one or two teams are unlucky to encounter large-scale Horrors, it is normal to be surrounded and devoured, but if three teams in a row are surrounded, there must be something wrong .

"We were hunted down from below. There are too many fear ants below. There is no way to fight recklessly if the number is less than a thousand." The captain of the third team said, this is also an old man, but the age of a cultivator cannot Judging from the appearance, although Cheng Ji looks like a middle-aged man, he is not much younger than Shen Hai, and is of the same generation as Shen Hai.

And some people even deliberately look old-fashioned so as not to be underestimated.

"Are there a lot of termites down there?" Shen Hai had a bad premonition.

Someone in the second team said, "We encountered the ants from directly above, and then chased them all the way down."

Lu Yin thought of the dead people he met at the beginning. The direction of the fear ants seemed to be upwards. He looked at Shen Hai, and Shen Hai's heart sank, "Go, diagonally upward to the left."

Cheng Ji also thought of something, agreed with the captain of the third team, and a group of more than 30 people left diagonally upward.

Three days later, countless fear ants appeared densely in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Shen Hai said in a bitter tone, "That's right, we are surrounded by ants, they have built a huge encirclement net, and all of us are inside."

Cheng Ji gritted his teeth, "There must be an ant queen, otherwise the ants would not be able to consciously surround us."

"It would be great if we could find the queen ant. Without the queen ant, the fear ants will all disperse, but in this situation, who can find the queen ant?" Shen Hai said in a deep voice, and then subconsciously looked at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin stared at the front, "Retreat first, avoid contact with the fear ants, ask for help from the headquarters, and discuss ways at the same time, maybe there are people who join us, so we can rush out with more people."

Shen Hai was helpless, he could only do this, thinking, everyone backed away with pale faces.

They know that even in this way, they will not be safe for long. The encirclement of the ants will only get smaller and smaller. At that time, they will not encounter ants in one direction, but endless ants. The limit distance, and the sooner you break through, the fewer the number of termites you will encounter.

Seeing the black line gradually approaching in the distance, everyone will despair.

This is not something that can be rushed by speed. If the Dire Ant is so easy to deal with, it is impossible to destroy the mother tree.

In the field, Lu Yin noticed someone, turned his head and looked, a panicked man who seemed to be about his age was running quickly.

In this backside battlefield, Lu Yin seldom meets his peers. Generally, the peers who can come here either have no choice but to experience.

Others were not surprised to see the man too, perhaps a survivor from another team.

Shen Hai stared at the man closely, and found that he was not an envoy, not even an enlightened one, he was relieved, he was still worried about that envoy.

"My God, I finally met a living person. It's great, I'm saved." The man was ecstatic, his eyes were flushed with excitement.

In the team, one person said angrily, "We are all going to die, you are so excited."

The man ran over and blinked when he heard this, "No way, how can so many people die?".

Cheng Ji was impatient, "Don't talk nonsense, are you alone?".

The man nodded and lamented, "Everyone in the team is dead. There are too many dire ants. If it weren't for my ability, I wouldn't be able to survive."

Not long after, everyone retreated a distance, and some people didn't want to retreat.

"Continue to retreat, maybe more people will join us," Shen Hai said.

Cheng Ji frowned, "I can't retreat anymore, the further we push back, the smaller the encirclement, and the greater the number of Dire Ants converging."

"It's a pity that I can't find the queen ant, otherwise it's better to fight to the death than to wait to die." Someone was furious.

The more desperate you are, the more restless some people will be. Among all people, Lu Yin is the calmest. Even if he is thrown into the pile of ants, those ants will not be able to hurt him.

"Well, are you looking for the queen ant? I know where it is." The man who joined last was hiding in the crowd at the moment, raised his hand carefully and said.

People around looked at him in surprise.

Lu Yin looked at the man, his eyes flickering.

Cheng Ji dragged the man out, "Do you know where the queen ant is?".

The man nodded, and when Cheng Ji grabbed him, his neck hurt, "Let go, let go, I'm about to be strangled to death by you", Cheng Ji quickly let go, and the man gasped.

Everyone looked at him.
