“Good, very good!”
An Bixin patted Bai Yu’s shoulder happily.
Although Bai Yu said that it was unlikely to find any living Longevity Worms or Divine Blood Ants, there were always exceptions.
There were so many nests here. What if they found treasure?
With anticipation in his heart, An Bixin smiled and said, “Then I’ll have to ask Researcher Bai and your disciple to inspect this place and see if there are any traces of the Longevity Worm or the Divine Blood Ant.”
“After all, no one else understands this.”
An Bixin said with a look of disdain.
He was born on the battlefield and had always looked down on civil servants.
In his opinion, bringing two researchers with him was simply a burden!
What was this about not being present at the scene? Wouldn’t it be the same if he brought the corpses back for research?
Therefore, this time, An Bixin had Bai Yu and Han Ning search for traces on their own. It seemed like he was targeting them.
Bai Yu did not say anything and turned around. “Han Ning, come with me.”
However, Han Ning hesitated.
To be honest, after the team entered the cave, there were dangers everywhere.
Now that they had suddenly encountered such a large area of nests, who knew if there were any dimensional beasts hiding inside.
However, he couldn’t disobey An Bixin, so he had no choice but to step forward.
“Coming, Professor.”
However, before Han Ning could walk over, Tong Bi, who was behind her, suddenly jumped forward and rushed to An Bixin’s side at lightning speed.
An Bixin was shocked and was about to dodge when Tong Bi grabbed his neck!
Looking at Han Ning, Tong Bi said coldly.
“Under the family head’s orders, Han Ning cannot be in any danger.”
“Uh…”
The veins on An Bixin’s face were bulging, and he could not even speak.
Tong Bi’s fingers were like iron pincers, already drawing blood from his neck.
If Tong Bi used a bit more force, his neck would definitely snap on the spot!
Everyone was flabbergasted.
When they set off earlier, everyone indeed saw Tong Bi in a different light.
However, everyone was only amazed by Tong Bi’s temperament and appearance. They did not expect that the seemingly delicate Tong Bi was actually a hidden expert in the team!
One had to understand that An Bixin was an Ultimate Speed expert.
Moreover, compared to the other Ultimate Speed realms, An Bixin’s gene fusion progress had already reached its peak, and he was even close to the threshold of an even higher Ultimate Mystery Realm.
However, such an expert was subdued by a woman so easily and had no ability to resist!
The accident happened too suddenly. Han Ning was also stunned.
He did not expect that the ordinary member behind him was actually the personal bodyguard arranged by the Sun family for him.
Seeing that An Bixin’s neck was about to break, Han Ning probed, “This sister…”
“Call me Tong Bi!”
Tong Bi did not look back.
Han Ning had no choice but to say, “Um, Tong Bi, you’d better let Captain An go. He’s one of the people in charge of this operation. If something happens, the family won’t be able to give an explanation.”
Tong Bi then threw An Bixin aside and returned to the team.
She looked as if nothing had happened.
An Bixin was half-kneeling on the ground. He covered his neck and coughed with difficulty.
“He Shengliang… cough cough cough!”
“Is this your Sun family’s cooperative attitude?”
He Shengliang quickly went forward to help him up.
“Don’t take it to heart, Captain An. This is someone arranged by the family head. I didn’t know about it before.”
He Shengliang glanced at Han Ning.
This fellow’s value is actually so high. The family head actually arranged for hidden experts to protect him.
At the same time, he secretly rejoiced.
Luckily, Han Ning was considerate of the overall situation. Otherwise, An Bixin would be dead, and the mission would fail. At that time, everyone would be punished by the family.
An Bixin straightened his clothes with a complicated expression.
It was common for the family to send hidden experts to protect important people. However, he did not expect that Han Ning, the most inconspicuous kid, was actually the treasure of the Sun family.
With this accident, An Bixin could not force Bai Yu and Han Ning to investigate.
Tong Bi’s strength had completely suppressed him. It was very likely that she was an expert at the Origin level!
Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid enough to court death.
Thus, An Bixin could only order the Qin family’s team.
“People of the Qin family, listen up. Disperse and explore these abandoned nests. Try to find living Longevity Worms or Divine Blood Ants.”
Everyone replied, “Yes!”
Following that, they hurriedly split up to investigate.
An Bixin had just been humiliated and was currently in a fit of anger. They did not dare to disobey.
Seeing this, He Shengliang also ordered the members of the Sun family to patrol the surroundings. If they found any danger, they could clean it up at any time.
The two families were still working together. Tong Bi’s actions would definitely make An Bixin unhappy, so he had to take the initiative to express goodwill in regards to some details.
Now that things had come to this, everyone started to get busy. Instead, Han Ning and Bai Yu, who were the fuse of this incident, became the two most free people.
Tong Bi’s actions shocked everyone. Even the leader of the Sun Family, He Shengliang, did not dare to order these two ancestors around.
Bai Yu quipped, “Good disciple, you’ve really caught the attention of the Sun family. Not only did they arrange for a personal bodyguard, she’s also a beauty.”
Han Ning’s heart tightened.
Old Bai really dared to joke around.
Ain’t he afraid that this ice beauty will kill him in one move!
At this moment, Tong Bi was standing beside Han Ning. When she heard Bai Yu’s joke, there was no change in her expression.
Seeing that Tong Bi was not angry, Han Ning smiled bitterly and said, “Professor, don’t joke with me.”
As he spoke, Han Ning suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh right, didn’t you say that the Longevity Worm and the Divine Blood Ant are both Origin-level lifeforms? Our lifeforms are all Normal, so why would we dare to look for them?”
Bai Yu was a little surprised. “You don’t think that the higher the level of life, the stronger your combat ability will be, do you?”
Han Ning was confused. “Isn’t it?”
“Of course not!”
Bai Yu seemed a little speechless.
“The level of life determines one’s combat power. This is something that can be said among creatures of the same species. Just like how adults can easily defeat children, adult ants will still be instantly killed by human children.”
“Of course, this theory only exists at the lower level. At the Primal level, or even above Primal level, the level of life determines everything.
Han Ning was deep in thought.
“So, when one is at a lower level, the level of life is not the foundation that determines everything.”
“Of course not!”
Bai Yu started teaching on the spot.
“Although the life level of the Longevity Worms and the Divine Blood Ants are at the Origin level, their individual combat strength is not strong. What’s terrifying about them is that these two types of dimensional beasts move in a group. They can rely on numbers to crush their opponents.”
As if afraid that Han Ning would misunderstand, Bai Yu added, “Of course, once these two lifeforms evolve to the Primal stage, they will also possess powerful combat power. After all, the level of life is the foundation of all evolution..”
