Imagine a chubby guy walking innocently down the street, and suddenly a round gem comes flying at fifty times the speed of sound, crashing into him. How bloody would that scene be?

Zhang Ping had thought about this scenario but didn't dare tell Zhang Shouzhong, fearing he wouldn't agree to help him.

Thinking back to Zhang Shouzhong's innocent face waving goodbye, Zhang Ping felt a bit guilty. Luckily, nothing happened.

But guilt aside, next time he went out alone, he would still borrow fat energy from Zhang Shouzhong just in case.

After all, if used well, this escape technique could save his life in minutes.

At this moment, Bai De and Feng Laixian began to fall.

Although they were still flying forward due to their previous speed, gravity was pulling them down.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would land in the forest.

With good luck, they might survive; with bad luck, if their heads got smashed, Zhang Ping couldn't help.

"If I had known, I would have eaten more chicken wings back then," Bai De muttered, looking at the approaching forest.

He had eaten a lot of wolf meat, then lion meat, and later donkey meat. Don't ask which part of the donkey he ate.

Anyway, he regretted it now. If he had eaten more wings, he might have grown wings.

"Wings? Maybe I can help!"

Zhang Ping popped his head out and said.

Then he controlled the blood to gather rapidly on Bai De's back, forming a pair of wings made of blood.

Although the blood wings weren't reliable, they slowed their descent significantly.

Eventually, the three of them wobbled and crashed into a tree.

Since the impact wasn't too fast, none of them were injured.

"Don't let your guard down, watch out for Mutated Beasts."

After landing, Feng Laixian immediately observed the surroundings and said.

The wilderness was different from the city; any kind of Mutated Beast could be deadly.

"I remember my first time training in the wild, my companion, a guy named Wang Ancheng, was killed by a caterpillar. Yes, a caterpillar, funny, right?" Bai De said to Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping was surprised, "Was he poisoned?"

"No, he saw the caterpillar and tried to step on it. The caterpillar's spines instantly extended and pierced his eye. He didn't make it," Bai De explained.

Zhang Ping thought that must have been a painful way to die.

"Alright, where should we go now?" Feng Laixian, after ensuring there were no threats around, looked at Bai De but asked Zhang Ping.

Bai De frowned, "Zhang Ping, how long do you plan to stay inside me? Get out."

"Oh, right away!" Zhang Ping responded quickly.

He didn't want to stay inside Bai De either, but he was worried about Bai De's landing posture. What if he died?

He stayed inside Bai De out of goodwill.

In an instant, a large amount of blood sprayed from Bai De's neck, forming a human shape on the ground.

Nether Mist emerged from the blood, and Zhang Ping dressed himself in the mist, wearing the Golden Treasury Bracelet before showing his face.

"Zhang Ping, which way should we go now?" Bai De repeated Feng Laixian's question.

Zhang Ping pointed forward and smiled, "Probably that way, let's go."

Actually, the place they were heading was in the same direction as the fat energy flew.

But Zhang Ping didn't want to waste too much Nether Mist, so he let go halfway. Otherwise, they might have already reached their destination.

"Let's go," Feng Laixian said, leading the way.

As they walked, Bai De asked, "Zhang Ping, is Wang Jieming safe in the city?"

"I've arranged for him to stay at a camp outside the city with an uncle of mine. There shouldn't be any problems," Zhang Ping replied.

He had made arrangements for Wang Jieming and Qiu Qiang.

As for Chen Weihua, Zhang Ping believed she could handle any problems.

After all, she was smart; as long as it wasn't an immediate life-threatening situation, she should be able to turn danger into safety with her wit.

The three of them walked in silence, mainly because noise could attract Mutated Beasts.

They didn't want to provoke any Mutated Beasts and hoped to reach their destination without any incidents.

"What's that sound?"

After walking for over ten minutes, Bai De suddenly stopped, looking serious.

Among the three, Bai De had the best hearing, having eaten a lot of animal ears. Even in his normal state, his hearing was far superior to most Awakeners.

Although Zhang Ping had the Wind Whisperer's blessing, his hearing was still far inferior to Bai De's.

"Which direction?" Feng Laixian asked in a low voice.

Bai De crouched down, pressing his ear to the ground, "Both sides, the sound is faint but very numerous. Something's not right."

"Run, quickly!" Feng Laixian made a quick decision and started running.

The three of them immediately dashed through the forest, noticing many animals also fleeing.

Zhang Ping covered himself entirely with Nether Mist and flew up. From a higher vantage point, he saw countless black ants moving in the distance.

These black ants were all Mutated Beasts!

Zhang Ping didn't need to use his Appraisal Skill; the ants were as big as adult thumbs, which was abnormal.

"There are a lot of black ants, thumb-sized, probably all Mutated Beasts," he said, landing beside Bai De.

Bai De's face changed, "We can't be that unlucky to run into the Black Ant Dynasty, can we?"

"Black Ant Dynasty?" Zhang Ping asked, puzzled.

Bai De explained while running, "The Black Ant Dynasty is what we call these black ants because of their sheer numbers. When they come out to forage, everything within a hundred miles becomes their prey. Individually, they're not strong, but in large numbers, they're terrifying. They can even kill top-tier Mutated Beasts."

"That's insane!"

Zhang Ping was shocked. So, these ants were the true rulers of the forest!
