Of course, none were more surprised than Shu Yu and his companions. After all, they were well aware of the carnivorous ants' power; these beast ants that could even bite through sheet metal had no way to deal with an unremarkable young man?
"Are you... human or ghost?"
Shu Yu asked in astonishment, as he thought only non-humans could walk away unscathed from the tide-like, fierce attacks of the ant swarm.
"Nonsense, of course I'm human. Are there any ghosts as handsome as me?" Li Fei curiously examined the group of oddly dressed strangers in front of him. "Who are you, and why aren't the carnivorous ants attacking?"
His question was not unwarranted. Before him, the ferocious carnivorous ants were clearly at Shu Yu's feet yet made no attempt to bite. It was truly odd, unless they had filled up on the giant snake they had consumed earlier?
But that possibility seemed unlikely, otherwise, they wouldn't have launched a frenzied, tidal assault on him.
"We are explorers from Huaxia."
