A few minutes later, Long Yu found Yao Ran. Seeing her flick away the black liquid from her sword, he ran to her side.
"Ran Ran, do you have anything that can deal with insects?"
Although puzzled by his question, Yao Ran nodded and replied, "I have plenty of insect repellent and pesticide. I also made poison from poisonous moths, which is highly effective against insects."
Noticing the flash of worry in his eyes, she asked, "A Yu, why are you asking about this? Do you need them for something?"
Long Yu looked at the ominous black dots in the distance and replied, "I think you are right. We might be in serious trouble."
Following his gaze, Yao Ran realized that the black dots now covered half the ground. As they seemed to be getting closer, she took a pair of binoculars from her space to get a clearer view. The moment she identified the black dots, a chill ran through her spine.
"Those black dots... they are desert beetles." She said gloomily.
Turning to Long Yu, she asked, "A Yu, do you know anything about these desert beetles?"
Long Yu shook his head at her words and explained, "This is my first time seeing them, but I have heard they can be killed with fire. It's just I'm not sure if they can really be killed with fire."
Listening to his explanation, Yao Ran thought for a moment and then said, "Whether it is effective or not, we need to give it a try."
After speaking, Yao Ran looked around and noticed two fire element ability users nearby. She approached them and asked, "Comrades, can you help me with something?"
"What kind of help?" the female ability user asked, panting heavily.
Noticing her pale complexion, Yao Ran instantly realized that she had overused her ability.
Yao Ran took a bottle of diluted lake water from her storage space, handed it to the female ability user, and said, "My fiancé and I spotted a large swarm of desert beetles approaching. We need your help to burn them before they reach the wall."
As her words fell, the two ability users exchanged glances. The male ability user then said, "We have already exhausted our energy. I'm afraid we won't be able to do much."
Yao Ran shook her head and explained, "We will set up a barricade to block the desert beetles, so all we need is for you to light the fire later."
Hearing this, the two fire-element users nodded. Looking at the bottle of water, the female ability user tried to return it to Yao Ran and said, "Water is very precious now. You should take this back."
Yao Ran smiled slightly at her words. Then, gently pushing the bottle back to the female ability user, she said, "You must be thirsty. Please drink it. We will need your help later. If you faint, everyone present will be in big trouble."
Seeing her hesitation, Yao Ran summoned a small water ball and said, "I'm a water element ability user, so I have plenty of water."
When Yao Ran summoned the water ball, the female ability user finally nodded and gratefully said, "Thank you."
"Mhm." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
