Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Blaming Me for Not Wearing Clothes

"Zhi Rou... Zhi Rou!"

Ning Mengyao tried desperately to shout loudly.

But she couldn’t stop any of this.

She watched helplessly as the swarm of ants chased after her.

Ning Mengyao no longer had the strength and knelt on the ground.

"Let’s go first!"

Although most of the man-eating ants changed direction,

the surrounding swarm was too large, and a small portion continued to chase the two of them.

Without Xu Zhi Rou’s hindrance, Lin Fan directly held Ning Mengyao in his arms.

Taking long strides, he ran frantically forward.

"Lin Fan, we can’t just watch Xu Zhi Rou die!"

Holding tightly to Lin Fan’s neck,

Ning Mengyao’s eyes were filled with tears.

If it weren’t for her own lack of strength, she wouldn’t need to face death.

This essentially meant that she had caused her death.

"Don’t worry, she won’t die!"

Lin Fan’s eyes had already spotted a large tree in the distance.

It was the first large tree to escape this patch of grass.

So, he pushed off with his feet and leaped high into the air.

He landed directly on the sturdy trunk.

"Stay here and wait for me. I’ll go save her now. Don’t go anywhere before I come back,"

he said as he placed the exhausted Ning Mengyao on the tree.

Lin Fan didn’t forget to caution her.

Staying here should avoid the man-eating ants’ attack.

And during his absence,

she would also be safe from wild beasts’ assault.

"Even if I wanted to go, I can’t!"

Looking at the seven to eight meters tall tree, Ning Mengyao felt a bit dizzy.

"Then you must be careful, and I’ll wait here obediently for your return,"

"Don’t worry,"

Lin Fan replied as he leaped down from the tree and grabbed a handful of what seemed like weeds from the grass.

He chewed painfully in his mouth,

then spat it out under the tree.

The man-eating ants that subsequently arrived and contacted the spat-out juice,

immediately scattered, seeing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but show a slight smile.

Indeed, this trick worked.

Thus, he immediately chased into the deep part of the distant grass.

......

"Huff, huff, huff..."

The exhausted Xu Zhi Rou weakly knelt on the ground.

A high fever coupled with continuous running.

Even though she was physically fit, she had reached her limit.

But the swarm around her, relentless like a flood, continued to surge towards her.

Seeing that there was no way out in all directions,

she knew her end was coming.

"Jiujui Sect, when I become a fierce ghost, I’ll drag you all to hell!"

Xu Zhi Rou screamed with the last of her strength.

Her eyes filled with tears.

She hadn’t expected to die at the hands of ants.

She truly felt endless sorrow.

But now, she no longer had a chance to escape.

She could only lie on the ground face-up,

bracing for the most painful seconds.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...

The flood-like swarm of ants closed in on her, step by step.

Just as they were about to reach her body,

the tightly shut-eyed Xu Zhi Rou suddenly felt a shadow flicker before her.

She abruptly opened her eyes, only to see Lin Fan standing right at her feet,

looking at her with interest.

"Are you crazy? Why would you come here to die?"

Xu Zhi Rou propped herself up to sitting

and looked puzzledly at Lin Fan.

But he ignored her question.

Instead, he spat out a green, sticky substance from his mouth.

"Pfft..."

The sticky substance sprayed onto Xu Zhi Rou’s body and face.

This left her utterly astonished.

Before she could ask again, Lin Fan had already crouched down.

At the same time, he extended both hands, beginning to rub the exposed skin on her.

"You pervert, what are you doing!"

Xu Zhi Rou, completely clueless about what was happening, widened her eyes in horror.

We’re about to die, and he’s still playing the pervert.

"Stop talking... if you don’t want to die... just smear it all over quickly..."

Lin Fan kept spitting out the green sticky liquid from his mouth.

At the same time, he helped her spread it evenly over her body.

The pungent smell made Xu Zhi Rou almost vomit.

"What... exactly is this?"

Realizing something was amiss, Xu Zhi Rou also hurriedly rubbed it onto her own head and face.

Although the scent was unpleasant, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that the swarm of ants approaching had actually stopped.

"Catnip... It contains nepetalactone, which can stimulate... the sense of smell... Flesh-eating ants hate this smell the most."

Lin Fan’s explanation finally made Xu Zhi Rou see the light.

By now, his shoes and trousers were also smeared with catnip.

So, she could no longer care about Lin Fan’s roving hands.

She cooperated and turned over, spreading it evenly over her back and buttocks as well.

"Alright, all done!"

Finally, looking at Xu Zhi Rou almost completely covered in the catnip liquid.

Lin Fan showed a slight smile.

Looking at the swarm of ants that continuously paced and circled around them.

This time, they were out of places to bite.

"You’ve had your fill of touching, haven’t you."

Xu Zhi Rou also saw the swarm of ants circling the two of them constantly.

Recalling Lin Fan’s roaming hands from earlier.

There was hardly a spot on her that he hadn’t touched.

"You blaming me for not wearing clothes, huh? I was saving you!"

Spitting the last bit of liquid toward the swarm of ants.

Lin Fan then wiped his mouth.

"Yes, you were saving me, but also copped a feel, huh? Saving someone needs squeezing, does it?"

Xu Zhi Rou gave Lin Fan a look of disdain.

He had not only squeezed but also reached inside to squeeze.

"Don’t mind those little details, instincts aren’t that easy to overcome."

Lin Fan quickly changed the subject, "At least you won’t turn into a skeleton now. Let’s figure out how to leave this ’Death Spiral’!"

"What ’Death Spiral’?"

Xu Zhi Rou followed the direction Lin Fan was pointing.

Only then did she notice that the swarm surrounding them.

Was swirling around like a vortex, growing larger and larger from near to far.

It seemed like a monster, tightly coiling around them.

"Ants use pheromones to guide their companions forward. Now, because the ants ahead are afraid to come near us, they are circling in place. The ants behind follow along, affecting each other, and will keep going like this until they drop dead."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, watching as the vast expanse of bushes was filled with ants.

This spiral was the ants’ deadly end.

"Then we’re going to be trapped here alive."

Hearing Lin Fan’s explanation, Xu Zhi Rou gasped in shock.

Though the ants couldn’t get in, she couldn’t get out either.

"To be precise, only you. I can leave."

Lin Fan smiled mysteriously, "Those low bushes can serve as my stepping stones, I just need to jump out."

"Then... then why can’t you... take me with you?"

Xu Zhi Rou knew very well that Lin Fan’s strength was extremely high.

Would adding her to the distance really not work?

"How could that be okay, men and women should not touch hands, you’re not wearing clothes, and if I carry you, wouldn’t that again be called playing the pervert?"

Lin Fan refused sternly.

That only made Xu Zhi Rou blush harder.

"How can such a big man be so petty, fine I’ll just beg you then."

"Beg me for what?"

"Beg you... to play the pervert!"
