That type of SOS Scroll was the lowest grade SOS Scroll which was generally used by Mercenary Soldiers. Its area of broadcast wasn’t very wide, only around 5 km wide. Usually, using sound waves to call for help could easily leak the user’s position and attract many enemies. This would increase the danger to the user of the scroll, who was pleading for help. Hence, they were not used by most troops.
However, in Despair Abyss, it was very commonly used.
This was because the monsters there detected their prey using scent and heat. They were not very sensitive to noises, so they wouldn’t seek for the source of the pleading voice.
Another thing was that the terrain there was extremely complex with many holes, pitfalls, cliffs and sudden depressions. Hence, using voice to call for help was much more effective than using fireworks, flash lights and so on.
“Bing-er, let’s go!”
Hearing about the Ant Wave explosion, Yue Yang hurriedly brought Yue Bing and met up with Ye Kong and the others again, preparing to leave.
An Ant Wave explosion was an extremely scary thing.
There were around ten thousand or so Fire Red Ants in an Ant Nest. The map showed a few hundred Fire Red Ant Nests that had been located. Yue Yang reckoned that there was many more nests which remained undiscovered. The whole Ant Hole was filled with countless Fire Red Ants. Generally, when an intruder was found to have killed an Ant or broken a large number of Ant eggs, the whole colony of Fire Red Ants in the Ant Nest would move out together and blindly massacre every single intruder they found…
These Fire Red Ants all came from one Original Ant Queen. After thousands of years of continuous expansion and multiplication, the number of Ant Queens continued to increase, and that was how the Ant Hole of the present day came into being.
In reality, all the Ant Queens were either mother-daughter or sisters. Because they belonged to the same family, they could coexist in peace.
With regards to fighting opponents, they would help each other with all their strength.
Facing an ocean of Ants in the hostile terrain of the Ant Hole, let alone ordinary mercenary soldiers, even a Level 6 [Elder] wouldn’t be able to escape alive.
“Quick, Fatty, quick!”
Ye Kong and the others had already started running towards Yue Yang. An Ant Wave was definitely not a joke.
Although the Golden Ant Egg was an enormous temptation, but between their own lives and the Golden Ant Egg, everyone would definitely choose their own lives. Yue Yang and the others had originally entered the hole for the sake of training, and not looking for eggs. They managed to escape from the hole in just a few minutes. However, just as they exited the hole, they saw a lot of mercenaries brandishing their weapons and summoning their beasts, were charging into the hole continuously.
The saying that “People die for wealth and birds die for food”, was perfect to describe the current situation.
There were even more mercenaries who stayed on guard outside the hole.
They weren’t willing to throw their lives away and enter the hole, but they were concerned about the situation.
“Brother, why don’t you go and take a look? We will stay here outside. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to us,“ Yue Bing hoped that Yue Yang could do as he liked instead of caring for her all the time. After so many trainings and experiences, she had already understood her brother’s powerful strength. She had great confidence in her brother and she knew that her brother wasn’t a hot-headed person. If he entered, even if he couldn’t get the Golden Ant Egg, he would at least return safely. The little lady thought that her brother had strong martial art skills, as well as the aid of the Bloody Queen and the Barbarian Cow Shadow. There shouldn’t be any problems for him to enter the Ant Hole alone.
“Yes, we will be alright.” Ye Kong also nodded towards Yue Yang. He, like Yue Bing, also hoped that Yue Yang could improve greatly. He was still the leader after all. No matter what happened, Yue Yang had always been the fastest to improve. This was the perfect time to improve, so of course they would encourage him to enter.
“If the Ant Wave burst out from the hole, I will wait for you at the Settlement Camp.” It was the first time in Fatty Hai’s life that he said something other than bullshit.
“I’ll come back quickly,” Yue Yang had actually really wanted to see what the deeper parts of the Ant Holes look like.
Yue Yang left Hui Tai Lang outside. This was because, first, it could protect Yue Bing, and second, it wasn’t very useful in front of a swarm of Ants.
Mercenaries who had gone deeper into the Ant Hole would bring back different kinds of ores at times. However, Yue Yang realized that the deeper he went, the weirder-looking the plants were. A lot of the fungi that he came across were actually precious herbs. In just three days, Yue Yang had picked at least 10 different kinds of mushroom that couldn’t be found elsewhere.
