Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Soul-Chasing Wasps
Since Captain Liehuo said so, the others naturally had no objections.
After confirming the route, everyone began to move forward according to the map.
As it is a primitive forest, there are no roads.
The ground is all weeds.
The path along the way was entirely opened up by everyone’s footsteps.
For safety reasons, Liehuo and Peter Martin were responsible for forging ahead at the front of the team.
Chen Feng and Alice held the rear of the team.
Robert and the other four, who were weaker, stayed in the middle of the team.
Ye Qianrou, however, was under Robert’s close protection.
This reassured Chen Feng quite a bit.
After all, in this Ancient Forest, anything could potentially take Ye Qianrou’s life.
With Robert’s careful protection, Chen Feng could focus more energy on dealing with other dangers.
Maintaining their formation, the group weaved through the myriad trees.
The surroundings remained silent; not even a sound of insects could be heard.
However, no one dared to relax their vigilance.
Because danger appeared in moments of carelessness.
From start to finish, Chen Feng kept his eyes on the surroundings, fully extending his senses to prevent any mishap.
Beside him, Alice noticed this, smiled subtly, and teasingly looked at Chen Feng, “Hey, little brother, aren’t you tired?”
“Better than losing my life!”
Chen Feng replied calmly.
“You’re quite an interesting person, despite only having Xuan Rank Perfection, you’re able to defeat Earth Rank players. Really makes one curious!”
Alice looked at Chen Feng with interest and said.
Hearing this, Chen Feng glanced back at Alice and said calmly, “In this environment, you should focus more on your own safety, rather than thinking about these trivial matters!”
“Oh, just trying to chat out of boredom, and you think that’s not okay? Aren’t you a bit too boring? Besides, everything seems fine; what danger could there be?”
Alice gave Chen Feng a disapproving look and pouted.
However, just as her words fell.
There was a buzzing sound.
A black shadow suddenly shot towards them from a large tree not far away.
Its speed was so fast it was impossible to see clearly what it was.
Amid multiple afterimages, the black shadow went straight towards Alice.
At this moment, Alice was completely off-guard.
Coupled with the fact that the black shadow moved at extreme speed.
Even if Alice were fully prepared, she could barely block it.
Let alone now that she was not prepared at all.
The black shadow was getting closer and closer to Alice.
Only now did Alice react.
And at this distance, she couldn’t dodge at all.
Everything was too late.
As the distance narrowed, Alice finally saw what the black shadow was.
It turned out to be a giant wasp, as long as a palm.
This wasp was surrounded by dark energy, and its sting glittered coldly, clearly highly poisonous.
Although she didn’t recognize which poisonous insect this wasp was.
Alice had a premonition that if this thing’s sting pricked her, she would surely die.
At this moment, Alice’s small face turned pale to the extreme, and her eyes were filled with despair.
She had just scoffed at Chen Feng, saying there couldn’t be any danger.
And now, danger had already arrived.
It arrived so suddenly, catching her completely off-guard.
Unable to do anything, it was impossible to dodge.
Alice could only close her eyes in despair, waiting for the end of her life.
The wasp’s speed was incredibly fast.
The next moment it was about to reach Alice and sting her with its venomous sting.
However, at this critical juncture.
A strong ripple suddenly emanated from the side.
At that lightning-fast moment, a hand completely wrapped in flames suddenly stretched out, grabbing the wasp.
And the owner of this hand was none other than Chen Feng, who had been vigilant of the surroundings all along.
From the moment the wasp flew over, he was already prepared.
This was why he could grab the wasp at such a crucial moment.
The wasp struggled desperately after being caught by Chen Feng, attempting to sting him.
But Chen Feng’s hand was covered in flames, and the sting couldn’t reach his skin.
“Heh.”
Chen Feng looked at the struggling wasp in his hand, chuckled coldly, and with a thought.
Instantly, the flames on his hand burst into a blaze.
“Hiss!!!”
In an instant, the flames burned.
Several black gases drifted out from between Chen Feng’s fingers.
In no time, the black gases dispersed completely, and the wasp was reduced to ashes in the flames.
Chen Feng clapped his hands, disposing of the ashes, then looked at the still somewhat startled Alice and smiled, “Are you alright?”
At these words, Alice’s face was pale but she shook her head and then looked at Chen Feng, gratefully saying, “Thanks for this time!”
“You’re welcome, after all, we’re teammates, but from now on, you need to focus!”
Chen Feng waved his hand, speaking indifferently.
“Mm!”
Alice’s face turned slightly red and she nodded, feeling somewhat guilty.
Because Chen Feng had reminded her before, but she paid no mind, leading to this situation.
If not for Chen Feng’s intervention, she would have perished under that venomous sting.
So facing Chen Feng now made her feel very embarrassed.
“Alice, are you alright?”
At this moment, Peter Martin hurried over upon hearing the news, looking at Alice with concern and asking.
“I’m fine, thanks to Chen Feng saving me!”
Alice waved her hand, saying.
“Good, that’s a relief!”
Peter Martin nodded, then looked at Chen Feng, expressing his gratitude, “Thank you, Brother Chen Feng, for saving my sister. This kindness will be richly rewarded once we are out of Tuck Forest!”
“No need to be so polite, we’re all teammates here!”
Chen Feng smiled and waved his hand.
“Mm!”
Peter Martin also smiled and nodded.
“Everyone, be cautious, we’ve entered the territory of the Soulchaser Wasps!”
At this point, Liehuo’s voice came from the front of the team.
“Soulchaser Wasps?”
Hearing this, Chen Feng frowned.
Presumably, the one that attacked Alice earlier was a Soulchaser Wasp?
Thinking of this, Chen Feng took a few steps forward, then looked at the trees not far ahead.
And just with one glance, Chen Feng felt goosebumps all over.
On the trunks of the many large trees ahead, were groups of giant wasps.
A dense layer as far as the eye could see, extremely chilling.
Each of these wasps was as long as a palm.
Exactly the same as the one that attacked Alice earlier.
A single one isn’t too terrifying.
But such a large swarm.
Just looking at it made Chen Feng’s scalp tingle…
