NOVEL NEXT Chapter 47 - 47 Your Hero’s Ability Is Really Lame
47 Your Hero’s Ability Is Really Lame
In the ruined territory, the Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s two antennae hit the ground. Suddenly, the entire ground began to shake.
The ground caved in, and a dense swarm of man-eating ants emerged from it!
“How is that possible?”
“The underground is the nest of man-eating ants!”
When Su Wan and Shi Linglong saw this, they were certain that the nest wasn’t made in a day or two.
The man-eating ants had been breeding underground for a long time. They had dug holes in the surrounding area and turned it into an ant nest!
“Xu Yuan, be careful!” When Su Wan saw that the Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s pincers were heading for Xu Yuan, she was worried.
She soon realized that her worries were unfounded. Xu Yuan gently flapped his wings and turned into a shadow. He blended into the darkness.
The next moment, Xu Yuan appeared under the shade of a tree some distance away.
“Good, Xu Yuan! You did very well! That’s a great ability to have!” said Su Wan. She hadn’t seen this ability before. She still had a lot of questions about Xu Yuan’s identity.
She had once assumed that Xu Yuan wasn’t very strong, but she guessed that he, most likely, had a very powerful auxiliary ability. Black Gold Behemoths, Skeleton Knights, Cerberus, and so on, were some of his masterpieces!
It made sense why he had chosen a support-type ability when they were selecting their talents way back. She realized that Xu Yuan was a support-type hero so he had more understanding of support-type ability. He was more of a defense person rather than someone who preferred offense.
‘It seems he wasn’t trying to trick me,’ thought Su Wan.
The troops that Su Wan and Shi Linglong had brought along with them fought intensely with the man-eating ants.
The Man-Eating Ant Emperor was dealing with the two heroes, Xu Yuan and the Flower Fairy.
The Flower Fairy activated her abilities in the distance, summoning all kinds of man-eating flowers, vines, treants, and other creatures. She used the wave tactic to fight against the Man-Eating Ant Emperor.
However, the Man-Eating Ant Emperor did not show any interest in the Flower Fairy. No matter what she summoned to fight it, it paid her no attention.
The man-eating ant Emperor had only one goal right now, and that was to beat Xu Yuan!
The man-eating ant Emperor vaguely understood that Xu Yuan was the most difficult foe to defeat. The rest would be easy to deal with as long as Xu Yuan was out of the picture!
Whoosh!
He spat a mouthful of saliva, which instantly corroded the nearby hundred-year-old tree.
However, Xu Yuan was very flexible. He flapped his wings and vanished into the shadows. He appeared some distance away in another shadow.
“Wanwan, your hero’s ability is really lame!” Shi Linglong couldn’t help but criticize.
So far, Xu Yuan’s ability hadn’t made an impact. But he was very, very cautious.
No matter how the Man-Eating Ant Emperor attacked, Xu Yuan only flapped his wings and escaped to a different shadow, avoiding all forms of damage.
“Haha. He is always like that.” Su Wan was a little embarrassed.
Other people’s heroes like the Flower Fairy summoned creatures to fight and defend but Xu Yuan was still just dodging and hiding.
Su Wan sighed. There was no damage to Xu Yuan, so she was relieved, but it was still humiliating. Even the Man-Eating Ant Emperor couldn’t take it anymore.
Xu Yuan did nothing except dodge. He didn’t attack the enemy even once. To the Man-Eating Ant Emperor, this was an insult.
“Little Dragon, don’t run!” it said. “As a noble dragon, fight me fair and square.”
When the Man-Eating Ant Emperor broke through their defenses, it advanced to Xu Yuan. All the man-eating ants gave up on attacking Su Wan and Shi Linglong and rushed toward Xu Yuan, too.
They didn’t fight back no matter how the Flower Fairy, Golden behemoth and others attacked them. They swarmed toward Xu Yuan.
“Wanwan, your hero’s ability to attract hate is almost comparable to an SSS-class hero!” teased Shi Linglong. Now that the man-eating ants weren’t targeting them, she felt relaxed.
Su Wan had nothing to say. “I guess so,” she said after a while. “His ability to provoke is working as usual.”
Su Wan looked strange. Thinking back on the time Xu Yuan had been with her, she realized it was true. Xu Yuan always did something to provoke and anger her. Only this time, it wasn’t her who was angry but the Man-Eating Ant Emperor.
At this time, she realized the uses of being friends with Fraud Xu. It felt nice as long as it wasn’t her who was getting scammed.
“Xu Yuan! Good job! Just anger the Man-Eating Ant Emperor!” Su Wan urged Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan always made her blood pressure rise in anger. Today, she wanted to collude with him to make other experiences the same.
The berserk Man-Eating Ant Emperor had been chasing after Xu Yuan relentlessly. When it heard Su Wan’s voice, it turned to her. “If I can’t deal with that b*stard, I might as well kill you first!”
The Man-Eating Ant Emperor finally came to its senses. Xu Yuan had no other choice. He couldn’t stand and watch if the creature attacked Su Wan and Shi Linglong. Even if he didn’t show it, their relationship wasn’t that shallow.
The Man-Eating Ant Emperor had one question. ‘Would Xu Yuan just watch, or would he fight for the two Lords?’
It gave an order and the numerous man-eating ants rushed toward Su Wan and Shi Linglong once again.
Su Wan looked at Shi Linglong. “Don’t tell me you did something again! Did you make Xu Yuan anger the Man-Eating Ant Emperor?”
Su Wan felt that her luck wasn’t that bad. She assumed that Shi Linglong’s knack of attracting trouble had turned the Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s attention to them again.
Su Wan was just shifting the blame now. If only she hadn’t shouted, the Man-Eating Ant Emperor wouldn’t have noticed them. She was just looking for an excuse to blame someone else. Shi Linglong looked so scared that her face turned pale.
“Wanwan, I’m so sorry. I did follow your suit and shouted to urge Xu Yuan.” Shi Linglong felt dejected. She realized that she might be a trouble magnet who attracted all kinds of trouble.
While Su Wan and Shi Linglong struggled to figure out what had just happened, the Flower Fairy summoned The Sea of Trees to protect them. However, in front of the dense mass of man-eating ants, it probably wouldn’t be able to last that long.
It was possible for the Flower Fairy to escape to safety but it was difficult for her to carry both of them along. Their only hope was Xu Yuan.
The Flower Fairy looked at Xu Yuan. Everything depended on whether Xu Yuan would choose to make a move.
