Liu Ruolan stood up and frowned, "Brother Xiu Qi, the Lin Gongzi's strength is average, if we are surrounded by the anteater beasts, it will be troublesome."
Hearing Liu Ruolan's words, Guo Xiuqi said in a serious tone, "Ruo Lan, Lin Long's protective barrier is the strongest, he's the most suitable for us to defend against. If he's surrounded, there's a possibility of him surviving, and if it's the rest of us, his survival rate is definitely not as high as his."
"This …" Liu Ruolan was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
"Miss Ruo Lan, don't worry. Just let me stand at the front by myself. I'll be fine." Lin Long smiled indifferently.
The look of not caring at all made Guo Xiuqi feel like his heart was on fire.
You're amazing. You won't be able to laugh when you touch that thing inside, he snorted coldly in his heart.
"Lin Gongzi, then I'll stand at the front with you." Seeing that there was no way to change the outcome, Liu Ruolan immediately puffed out his chest.
"Lin Long, I'll go with you." Liu Zong also stood up.
"Forget it, you guys should just follow me from behind." Lin Long shook his head and refused.
From Guo Xiuqi's expression, he had a faint feeling that something would happen if he went in, so he naturally refused to follow the two of them. After all, this cave didn't seem to be big, so not only would they not be able to help out, they were in the way instead.
This way, naturally suited Guo Xiuqi's thoughts, so he hurriedly said, "Ruo Lan, you don't need to follow him, just let him face the front alone."
Seeing Lin Long's resolute expression, Liu Ruolan and Liu Zong finally gave up on this idea.
After that, Lin Long walked in first with Liu Ruolan, Liu Zong and the rest of the seven following behind him. They were not far from him.
The cave was not wide, and could at most accommodate five people at the same time. It was very damp inside, and the light was very dim.
This was the same as the Ten Thousand Beast Valley, the divine senses were also restricted. Otherwise, Lin Long wouldn't have to worry about not discovering anything abnormal at all.
The more they walked inside, the more Lin Long could hear the breathing of the anteater beasts inside more clearly.
It was certain that the anteater was still in there.
After walking for the time it took to make a cup of tea, three shadows suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was the few anteater beasts that escaped in earlier. Lin Long could see the bloodstains on their bodies.
One Ant Devouring Beast was hard even for Lin Long to deal with, let alone three Ant Devouring Beasts. Although he managed to dodge one of them, the other two immediately knocked him flying.
Fortunately, Liu Ruolan and Liu Zong had been following him closely, so the three anteater beasts did not attack him.
Soon after, they killed the three anteater beasts along with the rest of the group.
"Did you see that? Letting Lin Long take the lead is the most correct choice. If it was anyone else, they would at least be severely injured." Seeing that, Guo Xiuqi said proudly, with a wise and wise look.
and Liu Zong were speechless, because this was a fact. If it was anyone else, they would have been injured by the attack of the three Ant Eating Beasts just now.
After pausing for a moment, the group continued their journey, with Lin Long at the front.
After walking for another period of time, nothing abnormal happened.
The deeper they went, the darker they became. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Xiu Qi, there were only a few anteater beasts that came in just now. I believe we've already killed them all. You don't need to go in again?"
"How can we do that? The clan's order is for us to uproot them. We haven't even found their lair, so how can we leave?" Guo Xiuqi immediately replied.
Although the surrounding situation made his heart beat a little wildly, he had not even made Lin Long suffer a setback. Why would he turn around?
The group continued forward.
After walking for the time it took to make two cups of tea, they still had not come across anything.
It didn't touch anything, but the atmosphere inside was even gloomier, and from time to time, a stream of air would whimper out.
It made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Suddenly, such a sound came from inside, followed by the sound of something crawling.
Just at this moment, Lin Long only saw a shadow flash past him. It looked similar to an ant eater beast, but its body was two times smaller. A scarlet beast on its head was already charging towards him.
The speed was so fast that he had no time to dodge and was knocked directly into the ground.
When he came back to his senses, the vicious beast's bloody mouth was already right in front of him. He could clearly see the several drops of blood on its fangs.
"It's an ant eater, everyone run!"
Hearing Guo Xiuqi's exclamation, many people immediately started to run out.
The ones who did not run away were Liu Ruolan and Liu Zong, because they knew how powerful this Ant Eating Beast was. If they left Lin Long here alone, he would definitely die.
Of course, even if they rushed forward, they would not be able to change the outcome.
Liu Zong was the first to rush forward. Just as Liu Ruolan was about to follow behind him, she received a heavy blow to the back of her head.
The one who knocked her out was Guo Xiuqi, how could Guo Xiuqi allow her to stay here.
Guo Xiuqi wanted to take her after she fainted, but before he had even carried Liu Ruolan, a shadow had already fiercely rushed towards him from the front.
He was so shocked that he did not care about Liu Ruolan and quickly activated her own protective shield.
When the shield was activated, the shadow hit his body and shattered his shield. He could clearly see that the shadow in front of him was an ant eater.
Looking at the Ant Eating Beast that was pressing down on him tightly, and whose fangs that dripped with blood could bite off at any time, Guo Xiuqi felt extremely regretful.
If it were not for the fact that he was courting death and wanted to deal with Lin Long, such a scene would not have occurred right now.
This was because the previous investigation had involved him following someone else, and he could have guessed that there was an ant eater among them.

With this Ant Eating Beast, they would normally lure Lin Long out of the cave before making their move. If not for the fact that he wanted to take care of Lin Long, he would not have come in.
But, what he could not understand was, why did the Ant Eating Beast not attack Lin Long first, but pounce on him instead?
Generally speaking, when an anteater pounced on a person, it would swallow that person's body before attacking the next target. The time it took to swallow that person was definitely not short enough for them to escape.
It was also because of this that he allowed Lin Long to take the lead, and he himself had risked a lot to follow in. He then planned to escape when this Ant Devouring Beast's abnormal form attacked Lin Long.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
How would he know that the reason why this Ant Devouring Beast didn't devour Lin Long was because it couldn't devour Lin Long who had the protection of the body technique.
As for why it did not attack Liu Zong who was closest to it, it was because Lin Long had stood up to protect him. This way, the anteater beast's eyes would be focused on Guo Xiuqi, and it directly caused the scene just now to happen.
While the anteater beast was suppressing Guo Xiuqi, Lin Long had already carried Liu Ruolan and rushed out like the wind, with Liu Zong following closely behind.
Because the place where the Ant Devouring Beast pounced towards Guo Xiuqi happened to be in the corner, it was planning to enjoy the delicacy in front of it, but it had no intentions of stopping Lin Long and Lin Long.
Guo Xiuqi could only watch as Lin Long and Liu Zong left in regret, while he himself became the food of this Ant Eating Beast.
