If they were surrounded by the ant colony, there was only one outcome. Only those whose level was much higher than the ants would be able to rush out of the ant colony. These rookies obviously couldn’t do this.

Chu Ze, in his suanni form, was already sprinting as fast as he could. He had even used his Extreme Speed Skill.

Chu Ying shouted from Chu Ze’s body, “Brother, hurry up. Those rookies have stopped moving. I’m afraid they are surrounded by the ants.”

Chu Ze shouted, “Stop rushing me. I’ve seen them. Everyone, get ready to attack.”

Chu Ying and Li Manman’s skills were very good at fighting these ants. However, Little Fox’s skills were not as good. Her skill was Charm. It had no effect on these ants at all.

Little Fox had just begun to learn spells and its power was not very strong, so Little Fox did not attack.

Chu Ying and Li Manman, who were on Chu Ze’s back, made a move together. The controlled water by Li Manman brought along the ice mist and directly rushed to the surrounding of the rookies.

The black mass of ants was directly frozen inside the ice block.

Chu Ying’s spell was even simpler. Dozens of huge Fireballs rolled around the ground around these rookies, and all the ants that approached were burned into charcoal.

As the smell of burning spread, the ants were temporarily stopped.

However, a dark mass of ants whose boundary could not be seen kept coming toward them, and many more were charging toward Chu Ze.

With Chu Ze’s speed, he definitely would not be approached by these ants. He quickly shouted, “Open a path for these people to let them come over.”

Chu Ying stood on Chu Ze’s head and laughed maniacally as she shouted, “The flaming path activation.”

Then, Chu Ze saw a path made of flames appear in front of the rookies, extending all the way to Chu Ze’s feet. Then, the flames in the middle of the path disappeared, leaving flames only at the two sides to block the ants.

Such a path could completely help these rookies retreat. However, when they passed this path, they would be roasted by the flames. Yet, this was much better than being eaten by the ants.

After seeing this path appear, Chu Ze hurriedly shouted at the rookies, “Hurry up and come over. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting to die?”

After hearing Chu Ze’s voice, these rookies reacted and ran in Chu Ze’s direction. They couldn’t believe that such a thin layer of flames could stop these ants.

They had previously used Fire Spell to attack these ants, but their spells had no effect on these ants, so they didn’t dare to come over.

However, after Chu Ze shouted, they mustered up their courage and ran in Chu Ze’s direction.

They were relieved when they saw that the ants that hit the flames were directly burned to ashes. Then, they leisurely retreated in Chu Ze’s direction.

Chu Ze looked at their lazy appearance and became angry. “Hurry up, can’t you see that there are more and more ants? These flaming walls won’t last long.”

The rookies looked at the ants and felt that if they delayed a little longer, these ants would be able to break through the flaming walls. Then, they quickened their pace.

Seeing the rookies’ behaviors, Chu Ying was also a little angry. Only then did she understand why Chu Ze brought these people here to gain experience.

It turned out that not everyone had brains. Some of these rookies did not have brains.

This group of rookies did not know what to do when they arrived in front of Chu Ze. Their speed was not as fast as these ants, but they did not dare to climb onto Chu Ze’s body like Chu Ying and the others.

Chu Ze squatted down and said, “Hurry up and come up. I’ll take you guys away.”

After hearing Chu Ze’s voice, these few people only dared to climb onto Chu Ze’s body.

Chu Ze’s current body size had reached 50 to 60 meters. It didn’t matter if they were on his body.

After these people came up, Chu Ze directly turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared on the spot. Those ants simply couldn’t catch up to Chu Ze.

The rookies on Chu Ze’s back didn’t expect Chu Ze to have such speed. They almost fell.

Fortunately, there were not only scales on Chu Ze’s back. There were also some hairs. These rookies grabbed onto Chu Ze’s hairs to stabilize themselves.

Then, they realized that they could not see their surroundings clearly. Chu Ze’s speed was so fast that their eyes could not keep up.

In fact, Chu Ze’s extreme speed could only be displayed on a straight path. It was not possible to have such speed on curvy paths.

Chu Ze waited until he reached a safe place before he stopped. He was prepared to teach these rookies a lesson.

However, before Chu Ze could open his mouth, he heard Chu Ying teaching these rookies a lesson.

“What’s wrong with you people? Don’t you know that place is an ant colony? Didn’t you read the information we gave you?”

These rookies lowered their heads at Chu Ying’s words. They were indeed a little arrogant.

The information clearly stated that the place was very dangerous. Everyone was told not to go near that place.

Before the rookies entered the mythical realm, they had never encountered any danger. They felt that their strength was the best in the world, which was why such a situation had occurred.

A rookie was a little angry at Chu Ying’s words. She actually talked back to Chu Ying.

“Didn’t we see that the ants here are only around level 20? We thought that we could defeat these ants. Moreover, isn’t your mission to protect us? Otherwise, why do we need you?”

After hearing these words, even Li Manman was angry. Chu Ying directly threw a Fireball at her.

“Protect you? What are you thinking? Do you know what the higher-ups told us? You trash are here to be cannon fodder.”

“What is your purpose of coming here? You all know in your hearts. Don’t tell me you’re really here to be a Pioneer.”

“You’re just a bunch of people who are here for benefits. You still want us to protect you?”

The newbie who spoke was directly blown away by Chu Ying’s Fireball. Chu Ying also acted appropriately and did not let this rookie get hurt.

The person who had been blown away stood up and was still very unconvinced.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you Pioneers are thinking. Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the strongest? If the leader behind me were here, all of you will kneel for me.”

The few newbies kept winking at this person, telling her to stop talking. However, she did not stop.

They all knew that Chu Ze was the one in charge here. In the entire Pioneer, Chu Ze would do whatever he said.

It was not an exaggeration to say that all the Pioneers owed Chu Ze a life.

If Chu Ze did not appear, the Pioneer would probably have disbanded already.

The losses suffered by the Pioneers during cultivation were too high. Before Chu Ze’s cultivation method was taken out, on average, one Pioneer would be sacrificed for cultivation problems in two days.

That was why these Pioneers were so grateful to Chu Ze and listened to his words. Now, this rookie actually said such words here.. She was simply courting death.
