Traveling through ancient times to survive

"Who do you say is an ant?" Zhao Qing's cold voice entered Xiaolu's mind. Xiaolu shuddered. It was over. He accidentally brought out the truth again.

"Master, I was wrong again." It admitted its mistake obediently.

"Don't look down on anyone. Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. If you don't change your arrogant nature, you will suffer sooner or later. Even I, your master, dare not look down on everyone in the world. How can you be so arrogant?"

"Master, I'm sorry. Xiaolu will pay attention next time." Xiaolu apologized dejectedly. After apologizing, he did not forget to tell the master the true thoughts of his kind, "But, Master, even if I don't think so, the domain master here also thinks so."

"you sure?"

"Master, do you care about the noble status of a certain pig in the herd?"

Xiaolu's words may sound harsh, but they are also true. The animals and plants that were originally prey to fish seized the opportunity to start a new round of evolution, while humans seemed unaware of it. The offensive and defensive positions of both sides began to reverse. If humans are still immersed in arrogance and complacency in their former dominant position, it is only a matter of time before they are overtaken by other species.

Seeing Zhao Qing's unhappy expression, Li Heng asked carefully: "What did Xiaolu find? If it's dangerous, we still have time to turn around and leave now."

Zhao Qing came back to his senses and answered nonchalantly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a demon plant of the same level as Xiaolu in this mountain."

Li Heng's face changed drastically. He had deeply experienced Xiaolu's abilities along the way. This was just a branch of Xiaolu. Now there was a demon plant in this mountain that was as powerful as Xiaolu's original body. Isn't this a big deal?

"We should be cautious and not confront it head on."

"If it was just a demonic plant, it wouldn't be that troublesome. Unfortunately, there are always some self-righteous humans who can't see the situation clearly and want to take advantage of the situation!"

Zhao Qing didn't know whether to praise these humans for their bravery or blame them for their stupidity. Based on Xiaolu's attitude towards unevolved humans, she didn't think that the domain lord here would be exploited by these daring humans.

"You mean that some humans are colluding with the evil plants?" Li Heng understood immediately without further explanation. Thinking about the process of how the abnormality here was discovered, he quickly understood.

"Yes, it's true that there is a way to heaven but you don't take it, but you are galloping towards the road of death. Who among those who can cultivate to this level of ability is not arrogant? Are they so easy to use?"

Li Heng smiled sarcastically: "What's so hard to understand about this? The emperor at the top is stupid and ruthless. Whatever the emperor likes, the officials who are still active in the court are the same as that tyrant. They are greedy, stupid and arrogant. It's not surprising that they do anything."

"You are right. The imperial court is rotten to the core," Zhao Qing said bluntly without giving Li Heng any consideration. "This trip may not be easy to resolve. I may not have the energy to protect you. You should go back to Xiaoan Village and wait for me."

Li Heng felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He turned back angrily, pulling his horse. He made up his mind that he must train hard after returning for revenge. Even if he couldn't surpass Zhao Qing, at least he wouldn't be seen as a burden by her.

Looking at Li Heng's angry back, Zhao Qing was amused. She didn't say that on purpose, she was really disgusted by the fact that demons colluded with each other to harm their own kind, and she was in a bad mood, so her words were not pleasant.

As Li Heng's back faded away, Zhao Qing pretended to be an ordinary passerby and rode on his horse.

Not long after they walked away, seven burly men in black suddenly appeared from the side of the road and started attacking with swords without saying a word.

Zhao Qing jumped off his horse, pulled out the little green vine from his waist and swung it forward like a whip. The little green vine was no less powerful than the steel whip. With one whip, not only were the opponent's clothes torn, but his arms were also torn to pieces.

This person still rushed towards Zhao Qing regardless of the injuries on his body. The more Zhao Qing beat him, the more abnormal he felt. These people seemed to be tireless and painless. Their bodies were covered with blood from her beatings, but no one cried out in pain. Even the dead soldiers were just not afraid of death. They were normal people. No matter how much training they had, injuries would affect their movements. This was a normal physiological reaction of humans, not like this, with no reaction at all like a wooden man.

Finding something wrong, Zhao Qing no longer held back. The next second, seven black-clothed men were knocked flying. Without waiting for them to get up, Zhao Qing rushed forward like lightning and knocked them out one by one.

Zhao Qing's expression was serious: "Xiaolu, what did you find?"

“There’s definitely a residual energy about them.”

"Can it be dispelled?"

"Of course they can, but they won't survive after they are dispersed, and it will also alert the owner of this power."

"Okay, let's not alert the enemy yet."

Zhao Qing pretended to be unaware and angrily cursed at the seven people on the ground.

"You dare to rob your aunt's way, you are really tired of living."

After venting her anger and preparing to get back on the road, she turned around and saw that there was no trace of the horse. The horse had run away and no one knew where it was. Zhao Qing became even angrier and walked up to the men in black and kicked them hard a few times.

"It's all your fault for scaring my horse away! No, I can't just let it go like this. I'll take you to the government and exchange you for a bounty."

She stood with her hands on her hips and was angry for a long time. She tore the clothes of the seven people into strips, tied them up, and then dragged them back one by one.

On a mountain not far away, a pair of eyes in the dark had been watching this place until they saw Zhao Qing tying up the man and dragging him back. The man thought something was wrong and immediately ran back to the village on the mountain anxiously for help.

"Boss, it's bad! A tiger woman knocked out all the secret agents who went down to work today, and she also dragged two of them away."

The young man who was hugging the beauty in the main seat was very unhappy because his mood was disturbed.

"Did I recruit you guys just to eat and eat? You're reporting such a small matter. If you're useless, go serve the sacred tree!"

The person kneeling below shuddered when he heard the words, as if he had heard something horrible. He was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, and he kowtowed frantically and begged for mercy loudly.

"Boss, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please forgive me this time. I just want to serve you!"

The boss was satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Since you are so loyal, I will let you go this time. If you do that again, I won't be so easy to deal with."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your mercy, boss. I won't dare to do it again." The young man with an ordinary face and wearing a coarse linen shirt respectfully left the hall. After leaving the hall, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had saved his life. When the wind blew, he shivered, and then he found that his clothes on the back were wet with cold sweat.

Calming his pounding heart, he walked to the other side, regretting deeply. If he had known that this boss was so unreliable, why would he have come to him so eagerly? No wonder the elders looked at him with complicated expressions. He thought that they would not flatter him. It turned out that he was the only fool.
