Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 173 - 120: Perils Abound

The ant is the size of a fingertip, entirely emerald green, and when forming a swarm, the whole sky turns a vivid green.

That’s why it’s called the Azure Sky Ant.

A single Azure Sky Ant is weaker than an average Tier One Basic Demon Beast, but a swarm of thousands can cause even Foundation Establishment Cultivators great distress.

Let alone ordinary Refining Stage Cultivators.

Chu Ning almost immediately controlled the Puppet Bird to fly away, to avoid being discovered by this swarm of ants.

At the same time, he quickly moved forward.

What made his face change drastically.

At the same time, a few Azure Sky Ants flew off from the cleaned demon beast carcass.

At that moment, it was as if they sensed the presence of the Puppet Bird.

They flew over quickly, and then the other Azure Sky Ants swarmed in as if they had received an order.

Seeing this, Chu Ning quickly controlled the Puppet Bird to fly forward, trying to draw the ants’ attention to avoid the Azure Sky Ants finding him.

But the next moment, he realized he had lost control of the Puppet Bird.

The Puppet Bird flew straight towards the Magic Mirror in his hand.

"Out of Magical Power?"

Seeing this scene, Chu Ning immediately understood. It was because the Magical Power he had previously infused into the Puppet Bird had been exhausted.

This is a function of this Magical Artifact. When Magical Power is insufficient, it automatically returns to the Magic Mirror.

Before, he admired the genius design of this Artifact Refiner.

At this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t help but want to curse what kind of ridiculous setting this is.

"Run!"

Looking at the swarm of Azure Sky Ants flying towards him like a blanket.

Almost immediately after the Puppet Bird flew back to his side, Chu Ning used the Thunder Shock Step.

And it was the kind that combined the fastest speed with Magical Power; with a flash, he had already appeared several feet away.

At this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t care about the consumption of Magical Power anymore, he ran frantically.

At the same time, he spread out his Divine Sense, sensing what’s behind him.

What made Chu Ning’s scalp tingle was that although his Thunder Shock Step was fast enough, the speed of this swarm of Azure Sky Ants was not slow either.

Though they couldn’t catch up with him directly, they were always trailing closely behind.

Moreover, this swarm of Azure Sky Ants flew low, just not far above his head, extremely unsettling.

"Isn’t flying prohibited in this Spirit Realm? Why is it not restricted for demon beasts."

Chu Ning couldn’t help but curse inwardly at this moment.

At this time, he couldn’t even cast a spell slightly, because he feared even a moment’s delay would let the swarm of Azure Sky Ants catch up with him.

Thinking of that demon beast that was just gnawed clean, Chu Ning shuddered.

"Yip!"

Just at this moment, Ling Xiaobai, standing on Chu Ning’s shoulder, suddenly let out a cry.

The next moment, Chu Ning saw a white light shooting out from this little guy’s mouth.

Unlike before when it condensed into a column of ice, this time, the white light sprayed by Ling Xiaobai transformed into a white icy mist about a foot in size.

At that moment, the Azure Sky Ants were pursuing quickly.

There was no halt facing that white icy mist; instead, they plunged right in.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Instantly, a sizzling sound echoed.

What made Chu Ning rejoice was that all the Azure Sky Ants that collided into it turned into tiny ice particles and fell straight down.

This time, a hundred Azure Sky Ants fell.

The other Azure Sky Ants were similarly affected, splitting into several groups.

Those on either side of the white mist continued flying forward, while many in the middle were blocked and stayed behind.

"Xiaobai, well done!"

Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately praised repeatedly.

"Yip!"

Ling Xiaobai, pleased with the praise, let out a proud cry.

Then it once more unleashed a spell.

Just like before, this time, it targeted the swarm on the left.

Instantly, another hundred or so Azure Sky Ants fell down.

With Ling Xiaobai continually unleashing spells, bunches of Azure Sky Ants kept dropping.

Seeing Ling Xiaobai’s prowess again, Chu Ning finally let out half a breath of relief, yet he didn’t dare stop moving.

Because at this moment, the other Azure Sky Ants seemed utterly unafraid and relentlessly pursued.

"Yip!"

After casting about twenty spells, Ling Xiaobai couldn’t help but cry out.

Hearing this, Chu Ning’s heart sank instantly.

Ling Xiaobai was telling him its Spiritual Power was running low and that it couldn’t cast many spells anymore.

And at this moment, although half of the Azure Sky Ants were reduced, they still chased closely behind.

Then, Chu Ning finally ran beyond the boundary of the marshland.

Not far in front of him, a lake appeared.

Seeing this, Chu Ning was overjoyed.

Though the Azure Sky Ants were troublesome, they were still fire attribute demon beasts, naturally fearing water and ice.

"Xiaobai, hold on a bit longer!"

Chu Ning shouted softly, turning quickly towards the lake, sprinting rapidly, and within a few flashes, he had reached the lake’s edge.

Not knowing whether Ling Xiaobai could enter the water, he promptly called to it and directly placed it into the Spirit Beast Bag.

The next moment, Chu Ning leaped forward, plunging into the water directly.

"Buzz!!"

Just as Chu Ning’s body hit the water, the swarm of ants flew right over where Chu Ning just stood.

In the water, Chu Ning, already having the Cyan Light Bead from his Storage Bag, fetched it out upon submerging.

Upon contact with water, the Cyan Light Bead immediately emitted an invisible layer of Magical Power that enveloped Chu Ning entirely.

At the same time, it completely isolated the outside water.
