This kind of thing is usually useless, but in situations like today, it's a lifesaver.
Especially good insect repellent water, because sometimes the little creatures you encounter are terrifying.
The devil ants we encountered today are quite formidable, mainly because they can fly, are highly venomous, and extremely frightening.
Even those who have insect repellent water are now uneasy, because they don't know if their water will be able to repel these devil ants.
Long Yuanchong's expression is also grim. He sprinkled some on Qin Chuan and himself, but he doesn't know if his insect repellent water will be effective.
There's also the issue of duration; insect repellent water has a time limit. If it fades after a certain period, the scent will dissipate, which could be terrible, so it needs to be applied periodically.
If the swarm of devil ants is large enough and lasts for a long time, it will consume a lot of insect repellent water, so anyone who lends out insect repellent water at this time might be committing suicide. It
's already very commendable that Long Yuanchong shared his insect repellent water with Qin Chuan, not to mention how much, because no one can be sure how long the devil ants will last.
Lord Renjun didn't use the insect-repelling water. Standing in front of Qin Chuan and Long Yuanchong, he said softly, "This time it might be very troublesome."
"Brother, you don't have any insect-repelling water?" Qin Chuan asked.
Lord Renjun shook his head: "Ordinary insect-repelling water is useless, and the number of demon ants this time is unimaginably large. I don't know how long it will last."
Qin Chuan looked at the approaching demon ants, his golden divine eyes scanning everything. He searched the heavens and the earth, but to no avail; demon ants swarmed everywhere.
Actually, Qin Chuan wasn't too worried, because these creatures were most afraid of fire. Qin Chuan possessed a fire seed; as long as he used it, these demon ants wouldn't get close.
It seemed easy for Qin Chuan, but it's important to know that very few people possess fire seeds. No matter how powerful the people here are, absorbing and refining a fire seed is definitely a perilous journey. Even with a fire seed
right in front of them, very few dare to try absorbing it. After all, the probability of death is nine out of ten; those who dare to gamble are either geniuses or madmen.
Therefore, very few people possess fire seeds.
The power of the natural fire seed is considerable, but it requires breakthroughs and a foundation of personal strength.
Qin Chuan has now reached the Immortal Emperor realm. Leaving aside the power of his fire seed, if Qin Chuan were still at the Core Formation or Shattered Core stage, even at the Heavenly or Human King level, his fire seed would still be largely ineffective.
Therefore, even if one were to obtain a fire seed by chance, it would only be effective against those at similar strength levels. If the difference in realms is too great, the fire seed would be useless.
The swarming demon ants completely enveloped the people here, shrouding them in darkness. Qin Chuan and Long Yuanchong had insect-repelling spiritual water on them, causing the demon ants to avoid them.
However, Qin Chuan could clearly feel the spiritual water on his body slowly dissipating. With time, the effect of the insect-repelling spiritual water would soon disappear.
The Human Sovereign possessed some unknown treasure, but its effect was similar to the insect-repelling spiritual water, also causing the demon ants to avoid him.
However, judging from the Human Sovereign's expression, Qin Chuan knew that this ability probably wouldn't last long either, and Long Yuanchong's expression was naturally not good either.
"Senior Brother, what do we do? The insect-repelling water will only last for a quarter of an hour at most. There are too many of these demon ants; a quarter of an hour is simply not enough," Long Yuanchong said worriedly.
Qin Chuan saw that his face was pale; he was genuinely frightened. However, Qin Chuan remembered that Long Yuanchong had given him half of the insect-repelling water earlier.
This was extremely valuable; after all, if Long Yuanchong hadn't given it to him, he wouldn't have taken it from him. So, Qin Chuan was still very happy that he had done this.
"Don't worry, someone will think of a way," Qin Chuan said after thinking for a moment. In fact, he wasn't entirely confident in his Fire Seed.
Also, Qin Chuan didn't want to use the Fire Seed unless absolutely necessary, since this ability could sometimes instantly kill a much stronger opponent.
It was a trump card, so he tried to avoid using it whenever possible. However, the current situation didn't look optimistic.
Qin Chuan looked around; his Golden Divine Eyes allowed him to see very clearly that about one-tenth of the people had been instantly devoured by these demon ants.
Most of these people didn't have the insect-repelling water, and some had water that was too low-grade, so they perished immediately.
Most of the remaining people possessed insect-repelling water, while some, like the rulers, had special treasures.
Some of these treasures were indeed exceptionally powerful, allowing them to sustain themselves for a considerable time.
Soon, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed, and many people again applied insect-repelling water.
Just then, as one person took out his insect-repelling water, someone suddenly struck him on the back of the head, killing him instantly and severing his head.
The person then took the insect-repelling water and applied it to himself, leaving him without any.
This action acted as a fuse, igniting chaos. Many people attacked, as striking first and seizing enough insect-repelling water would help them overcome the immediate crisis. Those
around Qin Chuan were also restless, but with the rulers present, no one dared to attack. However, Qin Chuan's situation was far from ideal.
The King's treasure could indeed protect the three of them, but the energy fluctuations were gradually fading, and after a while, it would completely lose its effect.
The surrounding battles were also intensifying. At this point, human nature was fully exposed; everyone wanted to survive.
Some people had to steal others' insect-repelling water to survive, while others had to fight back and kill those who wanted to kill them to protect their own insect-repelling water.
Qin Chuan did nothing, nor did he need to do anything. He had no intention of stealing from others, but if anyone tried to take advantage of him, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them.
Hiss!
After the insect-repelling water on Qin Chuan and Long Yuanchong disappeared, they were not immediately attacked by the demon ants because the King's treasure was still protecting the three of them.
Some people seemed to have noticed something and approached Qin Chuan. They also wanted to seek protection, and since they had nowhere else to go, they slowly approached.
They dared not be too fast, for fear of causing a misunderstanding and being killed; they dared not be too slow, because if they were too slow, it would be too late, and they were also afraid that someone would get there first.
The ruler frowned slightly but said nothing. The area covered by his treasure wasn't actually that large, and the three of them were quite spread out, which is why so many people were vying for it.
Little did they know, what they were risking their lives to obtain was about to disappear.
