While the group of Zi An was fighting against the ants, in a place not too distant of them another group was walking through the cave. The moment they heard the sounds of weapons. .h.i.tting something and blasts, this group realized there was a fight ahead and they immediately ran.Upon arriving near the site, they realized that there was a group of people fighting against three ants, and on the wall next to it was a hole with some small lights. The group immediately knew that there were some treasures in the small cave inside the wall, and they began to discuss how to steal.
The Zi An group was controlling the battle, they were doing their utmost to have the ants" legs destroyed, this would keep them from moving. After some time attacking only the legs, the group finally managed to destroy all legs of each ant.
But before they could kill the ants, the hidden group appeared, they announced that they would steal the treasure inside the cave. The members of Zi An"s group had dark faces when they heard those words, for they spent too much energy to defeat the ants, but now there was someone to steal the benefits.
The Zi An group did not have much energy remaining, even if they used items to recover, it would still take some time. The other group had maximum status, if the two sides would face each other, Zi An"s group would lose.
Suddenly the leader of the Zi An group received a message that made him smile, he just stared at the other group and cut off the ant"s head several times, when the Ant"s HP reached critical levels, it began to use the skill especially to summon the nearest ants.
The other members of the group and the other group were shocked by the action of the leader, they never imagined that he would do something like this, this action could kill everyone in the place.
Before the other group could escape, ten Fire Ants surrounded both groups. This scene shocked everyone, each one began to sweat cold looking at this situation. When the members of Zi An"s group went to ask the leader about that action, the leader used some kind of item and light covered his body, seconds later he disappeared.
The members of the group of Zi An realized that their leader betrayed them and wanted to kill them also to take the treasure. The two groups had no choice, they had to come together to deal with the ants.
When they thought the situation could not get any worse, the person who had attracted the two ants earlier came back, and behind him, there were thirty more ants. He ran and pa.s.sed directly through the two groups, the ants behind them realized that their target had been out of reach of their senses, but there were other targets that arose, the two groups. At that moment, there were a total of forty Fire Ants surrounding the two groups.
The not-so-dangerous situation turned out to be a life-and-death situation in seconds. The two groups knew they could die if they did not help each other, but the two sides did not trust each other for the simple fact that they had tried to steal.
The group of Zi An was in smaller number because two fled, the other group had only one member more. The levels of the two groups were between 38-60, and the ants were between 30-40. Although the groups had the highest levels, they were in smaller numbers.
There were a total of seventeen people in the place against forty ants, Zi An"s group was thinking about the best way to defeat the ants that were in the back of them, the other group was thinking the same thing. However, the biggest problem was the ants that were on the sides.
Another problem was the small hole in the wall with the treasures, everyone was interested in the items that were inside and no one wanted to leave.
But before everyone could think of a plan, the ants attack, they began to charge toward the two groups. Suddenly, the members of Zi An"s group took bold action, a light covered their body and then they disappeared, remaining only Zi An, she realized that she was betrayed by all the members of her group.
This scene shocked her, for she never imagined that her companions would abandon her in this moment of danger. The images of the last days went through her mind like a flash, her companions were cool with her and always helped her, but now, in a moment of real danger, they abandoned her.
With no time to think, Zi An just clenched the teeth and took something out of a pocket, a knife with a few inscriptions. As the cave was close to her, Zi An threw it into the cave and recited a spell. Strong light shone through her body before disappearing.
This scene shocked the other group, they never imagined that they would be the only ones to fight the ants, they thought they could get some treasures easily, but they were wrong, the greed killed them.
The cave began to close slowly after the body of Zi An disappeared, and the cries of distress and misery began to echo through the cave. Many heard these cries, but no one came to help, in the end, there were only drops of blood on the floor and on the walls. The bodies of all members of the group were devoured by the Fire Ants.
After Zi An"s body disappeared, she had entered the cave. The name of the item was Transport Knife while throwing the knife in one direction and then reciting the spell, the person who threw it would immediately transport it to where the knife was. But the item was one-time use, could only be used once before it was destroyed.
The moment Zi An appeared inside the cave, the cave began to close automatically, the walls began to form again as if it had not been dug. Zi An was shocked by this scene, for she never imagined that something like this would happen.
Seconds later, Zi An heard the miserable cries of distress and supplication of the group that tried to steal them, she did not care about it, because she understood that greed killed them. If they had not, that sort of thing would not have happened.
But Zi An thought it was a good thing for her, not only because she got the treasures but also showed that she should not trust people easily. Even if they have helped her several times.
Putting her thoughts aside, Zi An began looking at the treasures to see if there was anything valuable or not. She found many jewels, gold coins, equipment, and other things.
But one thing caught her attention, a torn piece of paper.
