Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 379: Better Never See You Again

Tom didnt know what princess Claire was feeling right now, whether she passed out from anger or not but it didnt matter since he already slipped away with Lin Xiao.

As for on Lin Xiaos side

Originally he wanted to discuss with them how to get past the ants but to his surprise, he couldnt get a word in at all while they were chatting. It didnt even feel like they were the ones who just made bold promises and were about to face hardships, but rather like tourists that just left a tourists attraction.

So, were the ants so insignificant to them that they couldnt even be bothered to be nervous!?

It seems like his conjecture was right

No one among Lin Xiaos small team of five people took the ants seriously, rather they were discussing things of no importance

That Claire is really arrogant, she made light of us! Xiao Tian clenched his fists while angrily venting.

Sigh, shes a princess and the highest-ranking commander, of course, shes arrogant. Were E rank investigators so being looked down upon is normal.

Hmph, thats because she doesnt know how strong we are! You dont even have to mention brother Xiao and you, you guys arent even on the same level, ShenDai Ying is also strong, and Im Im anyways, were all very strong!

Hehe, what are you getting so excited for, it doesnt matter even if youre strong or not. Yao Zi noticed his thoughts and pointed it out.

No! Xiao Tian pouted and pushed Yao Zi away. He raised his fists in front of him and made a solemn vow, Sis, just watch me, even if I dont have a bloodline power like yours, Ill catch up to you one day! Also brother Xiao Ill surely become strong!

Hehe, yes, yes so can you hurry up and stop just standing there? Otherwise, youll get scolded again.

Eh?

Xiao Tian realized that they were being left behind and was worried he was going to get scolded, so he pulled on his sister and rushed after them.

Dont worry, were not in a rush. Lin Xiao shook his head and indicated there was no need.

Heh, Lin Xiao, youre still thinking about what happened with Claire, right?

I thought she would be cute, but who thought she would sigh, forget it.

Although he got angry he didnt want to dwell on it because it would be pointless. Now he should focus on saving Caesar and helping Gotham Kingdom with the plague, and it would be great if he caught the enlightened society while he was at it, and as for Claire

To him, she was just a passer-by that left a deep impression. He had an initially favorable impression of her because she felt like a female Caesar, but her attitude disappointed him.

Now he just wanted to get as far away from her as possible, and it would be best if they never met again.

If we take the main road and break through the ants, then we should be ahead of them then theres no time to lose, lets go.

In order to avoid that annoying tomboy, Lin Xiao picked up the pace and prepared to head out west.

Everyone nodded and agreed with Lin Xiao, the only one who didnt was Tom.

Did he not agree?

No, he was scared shitless!

He knew that Lin Xiao and Yao Zi were strong, but he never knew they were that strong! He had thought Lin Xiao only said something that crazy in a fit of pique, but he never thought that was serious!

Lin Xiao, a-are we seriously just going to go straight through?

Of course, didnt I already say that?

Uh no, I just thought you were joking. He nervously gulped and tried to persuade him from doing it, Lin Xiao, you should know that theres a lot of them and theres also the queen so its going to be very difficult to deal with them.

Dont worry, we have Yao Zi, her wizards bloodline is invincible.

I know shes so strong, but that wont do either! Not only is there a lot of them, they also hide underground, so even if we finish the ones on the surface, then well be surrounded by the ones underground, and then were goners!

Hm youre right, the ants hiding underground is indeed a problem.

Tom thought the had finally made him change his mind and planned to find another solution so he breathed out a sigh of relief. But he didnt know that Lin Xiao didnt give up, he was just thinking of a way to deal with that problem.

Lin Xiao was thinking of how to get all of the ants out and finish all of them in one go the most effective ways in games was to aggro all the mobs and finish them off with an AOE, this was similar.

Help me do something go buy some barrels of pig blood.

Lin Xiao thought for a bit and gave an order, one of the few that he had given.

Hah? Pig blood? Are you going to drink it?

Drink it? Fool, Im not a barbarian, why would I drink pig blood?

Then why do you need that much pig blood?

Uh just go buy a couple of large barrels to fill the carriage and well set out, quickly!

O-oh okay!

Since they were moving together, he obviously had to follow Lin Xiaos orders, but he still didnt know what Lin Xiao needed the pigs blood for

After a while, he finally got the materials ready and set off along with the others towards the western forest.

Tom was still a bit scared on the way but everyone else was exceedingly calm like they werent on their way to a battle to the death with the ants. He didnt know whether he was too much of a coward or they were just too brave.

Actually, he didnt need to doubt himself.

Any normal person would be afraid if they were going to fight with such a large number of ants with only a couple of people, but Lin Xiao and the others were too abnormal

Hey, wake up, were there!

They finally arrived at the forest close to sunset, but Lin Xiao was already fast asleep. No one dared to do anything, only Elena slapped him a couple of times to wake him up.

Hm ouch, cant you be gentler?

Lin Xiao rubbed his cheeks and reluctantly opened his eyes. He stuck his head outside the carriage to take a look and immediately saw several bloodsucking ants running around on the road.

Lin Xiao yawned and waved the others off the carriage. At the same time, the ants antennae started to twitch like they picked up the scene of humans and they slowly started to approach them.

As expected, theres a lot of ants but theyre not close enough, it would have been annoying if we just went straight towards them thanks for your suggestion.

Ah? Me? He didnt understand what Lin Xiao was saying, So what did you want to do with the pig blood, dont tell me youre going to feed them?

Heh, pretty much.

Lin Xiao smiled and didnt explain anymore. He instead walked over to the barrels of blood on the carriage and silently shut his eyes.

Tom knew he was planning to cast magic so he watched closely, but he didnt see anything and only heard a finger-snapping.

Then there was a large bang!

Along with a pale green magical light, an intense air current carried all the barrels high up into the sky!

Then while Tom was still confused, there was another clear snap.

In an instant, the sky was covered with clouds and a bolt of lightning struck the wooden barrels into pieces and scattered the blood in midair.

Then it started to rain and merged with the blood in the sky and created a creepy blood rain.

It stinks.

Elena held her nose and quietly cursed as she hid in the carriage.

The rain spread the blood out even more and dont even mention the smell it left behind.

As opposed to their disgust of the bloody smell, the ants got rather excited.

The ants that were going to attack Lin Xiao got attracted to the blood and started running all over the place.

Five, ten, twenty ants came crawling out from all over the place and tens of ants appeared in the originally quiet forest, and the number was still increasing. The bloody rain was irresistible to them, even the ones hiding deep underground came out for some of the action.

I-I see, youre trying to attract all the ants that are hiding underground and deal with all of them together but, my god! I-isnt this too many?

He wanted to praise Lin Xiaos intellect, but when he looked up, he was instantly terrified.

The ants that were several times larger than a human was densely packed under the bloody rain and there were tens no, at least a hundred of them! The entire road was packed full of them and it really made their scalps crawl.
