I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 361 An Unexpected Turn of Events
"Then what do we do now?"

Looking at the densely packed ant swarm, Nan Ran felt goosebumps rise all over her body.

Their only chance of escape now is the sky.

but--

[We can try flying out, going as high as we can, until we're some distance away from these things, and then we can decide which direction to go.]
[However, there is a drawback to doing this.]
Big Meow finally became serious: [We are now surrounded, with no way to run. Although the sky above seems like an exit, any movement we make will inevitably attract these monsters to pounce on us based on their instincts.]
In other words, they might not even have escaped the encirclement before being overtaken by the ant swarm.

[If that's the case, it's equivalent to being pulled to the ground mid-air, and before we can react, we'll be instantly engulfed by the ant swarm.]
Certain death!

This massive, rapidly surging ant swarm didn't seem to have no end in sight. Although their vision was now obscured by the vast expanse of black and the turquoise oily green surging in the black sea, they could still barely make out the withered trees far away on the opposite side.

"We can't run from above, and we can't stay here and wait to die."

"Otherwise, they will all end up being swallowed up by the anthill..."

At this point, Nan Ran seemed to have no other choice.

"Choose a direction and give it a shot!"

Should they escape from above, or take a gamble, fight their way to the dead tree, and then use it as a jump point to escape through the air?

Or should we just fly away...?

If an ant swarm comes chasing them at this time, they should defend themselves and do their best to kill all the green-eyed ants that rush at them, so as to buy enough time to fly away from this place!

"No time!"

Nan Ran let out a soft breath: "The ant swarm is getting closer and closer to us. We must make a decision as soon as possible."

[escape!]
Big Meow and Frostmon exchanged a glance, and Frostmon immediately understood. It unleashed a circle of frost, and the half-meter-high circle of frost rippled outwards the instant Big Meow carried Nanran away.

[Come up!]
Big Meow's urgent roar echoed throughout the grove.

Instead of scaring away the low-level demonic beasts as usual, the swarms of ants became even more excited, chirping incessantly.

The Frostbeast is not good at leaping; it mainly relies on the power of frost, and once it leaps into the air, it becomes somewhat powerless.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been at a disadvantage in every aspect when fighting against Da Miao at Cloud Mist Peak.

Just as it thought it was about to fall, the big cat swooped down, bit it, and then quickly left the spot.

Just as they had feared, their leaping motion exposed them completely to the ant swarm's view, and their rapid movement aroused a strong desire to attack in the ant swarm.

Almost the instant the Frostbeast was carried away by the big cat, a swarm of ants, like a human pyramid, instantly chased after them to their previous location.

Big Meow tossed Frostmon onto its back, then turned around and spat out a ball of blazing flame.

The scorching heat seemed to melt away everything around them. Even lying on the big cat's back in its fur, Nan Ran could feel the intense heat emanating from it.

However, such high temperatures have indeed temporarily blocked the ant nest, which is built like a ladder to the sky.

As the green-eyed ants swarmed forward, a burnt smell instantly filled the air after they were surrounded by the fireball.

Then it fell with a whoosh.

Those green-eyed ants that managed to escape the fireballs also lost their support and fell into the surging tide of black sea ants.

As if their rhythm had been suddenly disrupted, the ant swarm, which had been moving at a rapid pace, suddenly seemed to lose its way and began to scatter in other directions.

However, this did not completely stop the ant swarm from spreading.

Furthermore, because some of the green-eyed ants changed direction, the rest of the green-eyed ants that were following them also scattered.

In the end, a new ant swarm was formed!
After these scattered ant swarms converged, they formed an even larger ant swarm, four or five times larger than before. "Who's there? A high-level beast tide has appeared here! Leave immediately! Don't linger!"

The sudden sound startled Nan Ran, who was running away.

Then, Nanran saw several people with ethereal appearances emerge from the clouds.

Nan Ran even knew one of them—

"Why are you here?"

"metropolitan?"

Nan Shu and Nan Ran spoke up almost simultaneously, asking each other questions.

"The various sects have received news that an unprecedented beast tide has occurred in the Wood Spirit Realm. If it is not stopped, the direction in which the beast tide moves will destroy several nearby cities."

"At the speed of the beast tide's advance, the people living in major cities simply did not have time to evacuate."

"So we came here to see if we can eliminate this beast tide. If not, we will try to slow their advance and buy the people of the nearby cities some time to evacuate."

Even the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect has made a move, so the others must also be powerful figures from their respective sects.

By all accounts, he should be considered one of the top experts on the Beast Continent.

However, she wasn't 100% confident in defeating the beast tide... It seems the beast tide she encountered this time was truly extraordinary!

Nan Ran thought to herself.

After quickly explaining, Nan Shu couldn't help but ask Nan Ran, "Shouldn't you have gone to Changming County? How come you're here?"

Nan Ran let out a soft breath and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I got lost..."

Nan Shu was at a loss for words.

A woman with long, fiery red hair glanced at Nan Ran, then carefully examined the Flaming Lion for a moment before turning to Nan Shu with an ambiguous expression and asking, "What is this?"

"Nanran".

Nan Shu calmly introduced, "Nantianmen is her father."

The red-haired woman looked slightly surprised, yet also somewhat as if it were only natural.

"No wonder……"

Her gaze eventually fell upon the Flame Lion.

Just as Nan Ran was about to speak to divert the man's attention, she added, "Such a gifted Flame Lion is hard to find in this world."

"The little girl is lucky and very capable."

"To be able to contract such a good monster."

She glanced at Nan Shu: "I suppose the Beast Taming Sect has already started focusing on cultivating him, right?"

"nature!"

Nan Shu remained as indifferent and aloof as ever.

Nan Ran blinked, didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched Nan Shu.

How could she not know that she had been given special training by the Beast Taming Sect?
Could he be a new disciple selected for the special training team?
Or was he placed on Hundred Beasts Peak to be the unjustly chosen, nominal peak master?
