Chapter 400: An Ant Breaks His Defence


Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem


In the Origin World which didn"t have any science or technology, it wasn"t possible to replenish things which he had brought from Earth. All of dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes were extremely advanced technological products, so each one destroyed meant there was one less he could possess.


Besides, from some angles, it could be said that the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes had even greater use in the Origin World.


Not only could they investigate and alert Li Yunmu of what"s head, they were like the system"s eyes and ears. After all, there was no online network in this world. Thus, the only way for the system to obtain information was to use the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes.


How formidable was the system"s a.s.sistance? Extremely formidable. It could a.n.a.lyze and create a database from the gathered information. If the system couldn"t gather information, then its ability to a.s.sist Li Yunmu would be weakened greatly.


After losing the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes, the system would turn into a blind person who could only depend upon Li Yunmu"s vision to gather information.


[Host, requesting you to make a decision quickly,] the system urged him. For the first time, Li Yunmu could sense anxiousness in its voice.


"Right, recall all the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes this moment."


Finally, Li Yunmu was forced to accept his helpless situation and ordered the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes to return.


Before long, they returned to him from all directions.


But even then only five came back safely to Li Yunmu; one more was lost on the way. In other words, only half of the ten dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes had returned.


If the three which belonged to Li Yunmu were also added, then he only had eight dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes remaining.


After they had returned, the first question Li Yunmu asked was an obvious one. "How deeply did the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes penetrate?"


[Number ten had reached the deepest. It had traveled around six hundred and thirty eight kilometers. Based on the a.n.a.lysis of the data, it should have been the closest to the center of the island,] the system answered.


According to its previous a.n.a.lysis, the diameter of the island was around one thousand five hundred kilometers. This meant that the dimensional s.p.a.ce eye had covered six hundred and thirty eight kilometers from the west side coast, where Li Yunmu had entered the island, and it had been just a hundred kilometers short of reaching the center.


But very unfortunately, at such a close distance, that dimensional s.p.a.ce eye was attacked by the native life-forms of the island.


Because of that, at the critical moment, Li Yunmu recalled all the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes so as not to ruin the enterprise for the sake of one basketful.


He was helpless in this matter, because if he continued with the investigation, the end result would be that all his dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes would be destroyed. Such a sacrifice wouldn"t be worth what the harvest could provide.


At least Li Yunmu had already scouted the majority of the path toward the center.


He wasn"t worried about this problem, though, since he was more concerned with the true difficulty that the system"s fourth possibility presented—the insiders included not only the insects, but all the life-forms on the island.


It was likely that they understood the consequences of humans getting close to the center and obtaining the control of the island, so they allied themselves and were attacking Li Yunmu as well as the dimensional s.p.a.ce eyes that he had sent in.


[Warning! Li Ju has been suddenly attacked by an even more formidable ant and lost her life. She entered the ten minute sleep before resurrecting.]


[Warning! A formidable ant has appeared among the giant ants. According to reports, its sharp pincers and mouth have the ability to threaten host"s current absolute defense!]


Suddenly, the system released a series of extremely serious notifications.


At the same time, the replay of Li Ju"s death began to play out in Li Yunmu"s consciousness sea. He could see that the sudden appearance and attacks of the formidable ant were extremely cunning. While Li Ju was busy fighting against the h.o.a.rd of ants, it suddenly appeared from under her feet.


Presumably, if its large pincers had fallen on Li Yunmu"s body, then the outcome wouldn"t be as simple as that for Li Ju. A shadow who was killed would be resurrected soon, but he would be finished!


This newly appeared formidable ant had a much larger body than the others ants.


If the ordinary giant ants were the size of an adult dog, then the newly appeared one was similar to an African Bison found on Earth before the Dark Ages. If Li Yumu got caught by its powerful pincers, he"d be torn in half even with his superior absolute defence! It was extremely dreadful!


There could no longer be any doubt about how terrifying could a thousandfold magnified ant be.


This was the first time that Li Yunmu had encountered an opponent who could crush his defense even though there wasn"t a large disparity between their strength.


Wait a minute… Not good!


Suddenly, Li Yunmu couldn"t continue a.n.a.lyzing the newly appeared ant. His keen instincts caught a faint movement under his foot, which he immediately connected to Li Ju"s death.


He instantly activated his great heart mode, and without thinking anything, burst forth using spirit pincer step, leaping ferociously by kicking the ground.


However, even then Li Yunmu"s reaction was too late. A black ant with veined patterns on its sh.e.l.l came after him and went straight for his waist with unrivaled fierceness.


This sort of speed surpa.s.sed human body"s limits. Li Yunmu even suspected that even quasi deities and battle sages who didn"t have a keen perception wouldn"t be able to dodge such an attack.


Fast, extremely fast!


Li Yunmu was clear that on Earth, the instant a predator attacked an insect, then even if the time was slowed by ten times, the prey still wouldn"t be able to dodge their predator"s attack or avoid its trajectory.


From that, it was clear that when Li Yunmu encountered the attack of the newly appeared giant ant, he was in extreme danger.


In a split second, he was trapped.


The large pincers of the black-patterned ant quickly wrapped around his waist and ferociously clamped around it.


Ka-cha.


While being crushed under that terrifying attack, Li Yunmu couldn"t help getting injured even with his powerful corporeal body and absolute defense. He was forced to cough up a mouthful of blood.
