The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 - A Small Territory, Many Troubles

At that moment, a figure hastened to Xiao Huo's side, whispering into his ear. Xiao Huo furrowed his brow, and after a long moment, he gently patted Xiao Yan's head. "Yan'er, Grandfather has urgent business to attend to, you'll need to go home alone."

"Alright, Grandfather, please be careful," Xiao Yan replied obediently.

Xiao Huo, accompanied by an Insect Master, quickly departed from the Fire Ant Tribe.

Chu Xuan looked back. He saw Xiao Huo's grandson, Xiao Yan, now astride a smaller child, pummeling him relentlessly.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.

The child beside them, obviously intimidated by Xiao Huo's stature, dared not retaliate against Xiao Yan. The boy could only suffer Xiao Yan's bullying. Clearly, Xiao Huo's discipline over his grandson was lacking.

However, Chu Xuan's concern was not with the bullied child. His attention was drawn to the looming crisis within the Fire Ant Tribe. He had overheard Xiao Huo's conversation with his subordinates clearly.

Patriarch Lie Xiu was tracking Fifth Elder Lie Hei, seeking proof of his collusion with the Rock Ant Tribe. However, Lie Hei had discovered them.

In a desperate move, Lie Hei had joined forces with an Insect Master from the Rock Ant Tribe, attempting to assassinate Lie Xiu in the wilderness.

Now, Lie Xiu and his men were ensnared in a deadly encirclement. As one of the few Silver Insect Masters within the tribe, Xiao Huo naturally had to rush to the rescue. Without a second thought, he immediately led his loyal followers to the scene.

"The territory isn't large, but the troubles certainly are. Though I can't participate, I can still enjoy the spectacle."

Chu Xuan suddenly felt as if he were merely an observer, watching a plot unfold in a game.

Moments later.

Xiao Huo, with a dozen devoted followers, arrived at the scene. Many Insect Masters and yao insects lay dead. The rocks and soil were stained with fresh blood.

Lie Xiu, protected by two loyal followers, took refuge in a cave, barely holding off the attacks.

"Lie Hei! You heartless traitor, colluding with the enemy to attack your own patriarch!" Xiao Huo roared as he led his followers into the fray.

Lie Hei, now frenzied with rage, bellowed, "Xiao Huo, you've come at the right time, I've longed to kill you!"

"Brother, this one's yours! I'll continue dealing with that old man!" said a Rock Ant Tribe Insect Master with a sinister grin.

"Rest assured, this one's mine," he replied with a slap of his hand.

Two giant ants, each over two meters long, appeared before him. Their fierce, sharp mandibles gleamed menacingly. Their bodies were covered in thick, stony carapaces—hence the name Rock Ants.

Xiao Huo's gaze turned icy, "It's you, Shi Wu. You've tried to assassinate me time and again. Today, we settle all scores, old and new!"

As the scion of the Fire Ant Tribe, he had naturally been a prime target of the Rock Ant Tribe.

Shi Wu, a Silver Insect Master, had repeatedly attempted his life. Once, his heart had nearly been pierced by Shi Wu.

Fortunately, he always carried the shard of the mirror. The shard, incredibly hard, had blocked the lethal stab and saved his life.

Xiao Huo growled. A Fire Ant and a Black-Backed Ant appeared one after the other, charging at the Rock Ants.

Xiao Huo and Shi Wu, their eyes cold, drew daggers and entwined in combat.

Chu Xuan extended his senses, finding that the battles among the other Insect Masters were similarly fierce.
