The Yun Family’s Ninth Child is an Imp!

Chapter 366: Red Flame Ants

The fire cave was located deep in the Fire Valley. After walking for almost a day, they finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.

The temperature was getting higher and higher. The elders’ spiritual power was better, but the disciples were in a sorry state. They kept wiping their sweat. Yun Chujiu was the only one who was leisurely and walking as if nothing happened.

The elders were amazed. The heavenly Thunder Root Spirit was really different!

To outsiders, Yun Chujiu’s spiritual power was only at the fourth level of the Spirit Enhancement realm. The disciples were puzzled. ‘Why is Yun Chujiu’s spiritual power the lowest, yet nothing’s happening to her?! That’s really strange!’

“The cave is extremely dangerous. You must follow closely behind us and don’t act rashly! If anyone dares to act without permission, the sect will punish them!” Elder Xiao said sternly.

Everyone nodded and carefully tailed the elders into the fire cave.

Yun Chujiu looked around curiously. The scenery inside the fire cave was really unique!

The ground was uneven and filled with holes the size of eggs. Above it, there were many jade-like objects hanging down—they were white as snow and sparkling. This girl was trying her best not to break off a few of them. They looked very valuable.

Everything remained calm even after they had walked for some time. Nothing happened. Bai Morou whispered, “It’s not as scary as it was made to sound! In fact, these stones hanging from the ceiling looks really nice.”

“Junior Sister Bai is right. This fire cave is just so-so. It’s no big deal. Wait for me!” A male disciple called Liu Yongsheng said ingratiatingly.

Bai Morou’s heart skipped a beat, and she slowed down her footsteps. The two waited for the person in front to walk a little further away before Liu Yongsheng jumped up and broke one of the stones. He said fawningly, “Junior Sister, this is for you!”

Just as Bai Morou was about to reach out to receive it, the ground suddenly trembled. Immediately after, several Red Flame Ants drilled themselves out from the holes in the ground! Each ant was half a foot long and had a pair of sharp teeth.

Bai Morou was so scared that she ran away. The ants did not attack her and instead, went straight for Liu Yongsheng. The people in front only heard a scream. When they turned around, they saw that Liu Yongsheng’s body was densely covered in red ants.

Before they could react, only Liu Yongsheng’s skeleton was left! Those ants were not done with the skeleton. In the blink of an eye, only Liu Yongsheng’s storage bag was left on the ground!

Bai Morou ran in front of everyone. Her face was pale and her entire body was trembling. “No, it’s not my fault. He was the one who insisted on breaking the jade-like stones!”

The disciples were stunned by the scene in front of them. Although none of them were cowards and had even killed people with their own hands, the scene in front of them was still too terrifying!

Liu Yongsheng did not even have a chance to resist and was immediately gnawed by those ants. It was too terrifying!

Elder Qi of the East Peak explained, “The white thing on top is not some jade stone, but the eggs of the Red Flame Ants. They usually feed on the Fire Edelweiss plant and ores underground. As long as their eggs aren’t touched, they won’t attack humans or demon beasts. You mustn’t touch anything in this cave. Otherwise, you’ll end up like that disciple!”

This time round, there was no need to emphasize anymore. These disciples were very obedient and followed the elders carefully.

Yun Chujiu felt extremely lucky. ‘Damn, it’s a good thing that I held back and didn’t make a move. It was a close call. As expected, one shouldn’t be too greedy!’
