As they spoke, Zhou Yu waved his hand.

In an instant, a red torrent appeared. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

This stream, continuous, like a flood, surged towards the densely packed tentacle monsters.

In an instant, the red torrent completely enveloped those hundreds of tentacle monsters.

Each tentacle was crowded with red flying ants.

These were the Fire-eyed Flying Ants that Zhou Yu had cultivated for a long time.

With the blessing of the Four Directions Realm, although only a few years had passed outside, several decades had already passed inside the Four Directions Realm.

During these decades, the Fire-Eyed Ant King had spawned hundreds of thousands of offspring Fire-eyed Flying Ants.

Moreover, due to Zhou Yu’s meticulous care, the Fire-Eyed Ant King had long since entered the Mature Stage.

Its strength far surpassed when Zhou Yu first encountered it outside Black Sand City.

The mature Fire-Eyed Ant King was already a Level 4 Demon Beast.

Thus, its offspring Fire-eyed Flying Ants were mostly at the peak of Second Level, with some Level 3 Fire-eyed Flying Ants mixed in.

The devouring ability of these Fire-eyed Flying Ants was far superior to the ones in the desert black wind encountered in Black Sand City.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Fire-eyed Flying Ants swarmed forward, even the Withered Water Wood Clan of the Black Water Realm was startled.

It immediately commanded those fearsome tentacle monsters, releasing beams of green light to try to annihilate the Fire-eyed Flying Ants completely.

However, the Fire-eyed Flying Ants were naturally fearless of toxic gas attacks, so although the green light could disorient them for a short time, within seconds the dazed Fire-eyed Flying Ants would awaken.

And then continue to bite.

Although each Fire-eyed Flying Ant could inflict only negligible damage to the tentacle monsters.

But when tens of thousands of Fire-eyed Flying Ants attacked together, the damage was considerable.

In the blink of an eye, the tentacle monsters began to scream in agony, desperately retreating.

The Withered Water Wood Clan roared, and the green water monster beneath it suddenly emitted a piercing shriek.

The piercing sound transformed into a terrible sound wave attack, sweeping in an instant.

Wherever the sound wave passed, the Fire-eyed Flying Ants shattered in large patches.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu also showed a surprised expression.

Unexpectedly, this green water monster had such an impressive trick.

His Fire-eyed Flying Ants were formidable, but at present, they were too weak, completely unable to withstand the sound wave attacks.

Zhou Yu was just considering whether to retreat.

Suddenly he noticed that after the green water monster roared, it visibly weakened.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

It seems that although this move is powerful, it severely depletes Primordial Qi, presumably a desperate move by the green water monster.

In that case, what’s there to fear?

Zhou Yu waved his hand again, unleashing another swarm of tens of thousands of Fire-eyed Flying Ants.

The Withered Water Wood Clan’s eyes involuntarily contracted when it saw this, then angrily glared at Zhou Yu, trying to command the green water monster to dive into the water.

"Trying to escape?"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly.

Having intervened, he naturally would not leave empty-handed.

Zhou Yu was well prepared; he immediately activated the Primordial Spirit Fire, instantly transforming into a fiery net that spread over the waterfall, completely blocking its escape route.

The Withered Water Wood Clan saw the fiery net woven by the Primordial Spirit Fire, roaring continuously, commanding the green light to try to break through.

However, in this delay, the Fire-eyed Flying Ants had already caught up, instantly surrounding them.

The Withered Water Wood Clan panicked, struggling desperately, commanding the green water monster to try to unleash the Sound Wave Skill again.

But this time, Zhou Yu was prepared.

As the green water monster opened its mouth, Zhou Yu flicked a finger, instantly shooting out a highly concentrated Primordial Spirit Fire.

Directly hit the throat of the green water monster.

Pow!

The terrifying Primordial Spirit Fire directly pierced through the throat of the green water monster.

The green water monster let out a shrill and tragic cry.

In the next second, countless Fire-eyed Flying Ants crawled in through its mouth.

Afterward, no matter how the Withered Water Wood Clan struggled, it could not shake off the Fire-eyed Flying Ants.

In less than ten minutes, the people of the Withered Water Wood Clan lost all strength to resist, powerless, collapsed on the ground.

At this time, Ma Kun and others behind Zhou Yu were all stunned.

They never expected that the Withered Water Wood Clan of the Black Water Realm, capable of killing a peak Divinity Transformation Realm master, was so easily slain by Zhou Yu.

The tens of thousands of Fire-eyed Flying Ants were terrifying to them.

They even couldn’t help scratching themselves, thinking Fire-eyed Flying Ants were crawling on them.

At this moment, Guo Liang suddenly reacted.

He quickly said urgently:

"Captain, leave his remains; we can return to exchange for military merits."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately responded.

He waved his hand, and the Fire-eyed Flying Ants, climbing on the Withered Water Wood Clan, received the order and all flew back, being collected by Zhou Yu into the Beast Taming Bag in a show of formality.

Of course, unbeknownst to Ma Kun and others, these Fire-eyed Flying Ants were quietly transferred to the Four Directions Realm by Zhou Yu.

Once the Fire-eyed Flying Ants were taken back, only a skeleton less than three feet tall remained of the Withered Water Wood Clan along with the massive green water monster.

A bit later, even the skeleton would have been gone.

Zhou Yu frowned and glanced at it, then turned back to look at Ma Kun and the others.

"Can this still be used?"

Gulp!

Ma Kun and his team instinctively swallowed saliva, then quickly checked and said:

"It can still be used!"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s good."

"You take it away."

Upon hearing this, Ma Kun quickly stepped forward and carefully collected the remains of the Withered Water Wood Clan.

Subsequently, everyone stood nervously in front of Zhou Yu, respectfully saying:

"Thank you, Captain, for saving us."

They now understood why Zhou Yu hadn’t intervened earlier.

At this moment, they all felt genuinely grateful, and some even awe-inspired.

Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"No need for thanks."

"By the way, regarding the killing of the Withered Water Wood Clan, I hope no one else finds out. Come up with a reasonable story to explain to Fengyuan City people."

Upon hearing this, Ma Kun and his team knew exactly what Zhou Yu meant.

Ma Kun immediately replied:

"Captain, don’t worry, Fengyuan City will not inquire how we killed the Withered Water Wood Clan."

"And regarding what happened just now, we swear not to reveal a single word to anyone else."

After saying that, Ma Kun looked at the other eight people.

The eight people also instantly swore an oath.

If they were in Zhou Yu’s position, they would do the same since no one wishes others to know their trump card.

Now they were only deeply grateful.

Grateful for meeting such an incredible captain.

If word got out, with Zhou Yu’s strength, promoting to protector would be effortless, and once Zhou Yu left, who knows the skill level of the next appointed captain?

Regardless of skill level, it would certainly not match Zhou Yu.

They were all sensible people; none would do such harm without benefit.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Zhou Yu also nodded faintly.

"Our patrol time this round, it’s almost up."

"We’ll set off to return."

Zhou Yu immediately ordered.
