205: Chapter 25 can't be burned completely.

Ah Huang didn't dare to stop, spitting out mouthfuls of fire one after another, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

As Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang moved along, Ah Huang kept breathing fire.

However, these insects weren't afraid of fire at all.

Even though they knew the flames could take their lives,

the insects continued to swarm toward Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang in endless waves.

"Ah Huang, clear a path forward! Don't just keep circling in place."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Ah Huang felt aggrieved in his heart.

Ah Huang wanted to move forward too.

But the sheer number of these insects was too great, and they were like sticky candy.

They simply couldn't be burned all away; as soon as the ones in front were gone, more came from behind.

The fire from Ah Huang's mouth never ceased.

Ah Huang let out a whimper.

Ah Huang's internal monologue: If you're so capable, you do it!

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing also knew that a single dog like Ah Huang couldn't handle so many insects alone.

Furthermore, insects were constantly emerging from underground; they were impossible to kill off.

Impossible to kill, simply impossible to kill them all.

Hardening her heart, Ye Qingqing took gasoline directly out of her space.

She poured it on the ground and then lit a torch.

The insects that were doused in gasoline immediately burst into flames.

At that moment, Ye Qingqing shouted loudly,

"Ah Huang! Run!"

Hearing the command, Ah Huang didn't stop his fireballs, immediately spitting them forward.

He then opened up a passage.

Ah Huang and Ye Qingqing took the opportunity to run to the neighboring house at their fastest speed.

However, the situation next door was far worse than Ye Qingqing had imagined.

There were even more insects in this yard than in Ye Qingqing's.

Those insects were currently attacking Huo Cunsheng's house.

Huo Cunsheng was also throwing torches out of the window.

But the effect was negligible.

Because the number of insects at Huo Cunsheng's place was much higher than in Ye Qingqing's yard.

When Huo Cunsheng saw Ye Qingqing through the window, he immediately felt there was hope.

"Granddaughter-in-law!"

"I'm over here!"

"Quick, come save me!"

As Huo Cunsheng looked at Ye Qingqing, his eyes lit up, staring at her with great intensity.

Ye Qingqing patted Ah Huang, signaling him not to just stand there dazed.

Then, Ye Qingqing splashed another layer of gasoline in Huo Cunsheng's yard.

Seeing this, Ah Huang spat out fireballs from his mouth.

They flew straight toward the insects.

Like the ones in Ye Qingqing's yard earlier, as soon as they touched the fire, the insects soaked in gasoline set off a massive blaze.

Afterward, Ah Huang continued to spit fireballs at the path ahead.

Seeing the opening, Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang rushed to Huo Cunsheng's door.

Seeing them, Huo Cunsheng opened the door and followed Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang out.

However, as they were escaping, Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang noticed that Huo Cunsheng was running a bit slowly.

Ah Huang snorted through his nose, whimpering and grumbling under his breath.

But Ah Huang's actions were very swift.

Ah Huang nudged his head slightly toward Huo Cunsheng.

When Huo Cunsheng's center of gravity became unstable, he immediately tumbled onto Ah Huang's back.

Ah Huang caught Huo Cunsheng steadily.

Then, he carried Huo Cunsheng and ran back to the yard with Ye Qingqing.

In the yard where Ye Qingqing lived, a wave of insects that had just been burned away was now emerging again.

It was as if those insects could never be fully burned.

After one batch was burned, a second batch arrived.

Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang didn't dare to slack off, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would be eaten by these insects.

Although these insects didn't look like they had much killing power, nobody wanted to be bitten.

Ah Huang spat fireballs rapidly, and after carving out a path of fire once more, he brought Huo Cunsheng and Ye Qingqing back inside.

However, when Ye Qingqing opened the door, she found that the first floor of the house had already been overrun by insects.

Most of the furniture on the first floor was now covered in crawling insects.

Especially the refrigerator.

The refrigerator door was wide open, and the food inside was completely covered with densely packed insects.

As the insects touched the food, it emitted a strong, rotten smell.

Almost instantly, the leafy green vegetables that were still fresh were corroded away completely.

When the insects caught the scent of that corrosion, their entire bodies vibrated with excitement.

The sight of it couldn't help but make one's skin crawl with goosebumps.

It was absolutely disgusting.

"This is bad."

Ye Qingqing realized that the insects weren't just active on the first floor.

And they weren't just devouring food in the refrigerator.

They were even devouring the building itself.

Ye Qingqing could even hear the sound of some structural parts of the house being gnawed on.

If this continued, the entire house would be reduced to ruins.

"Ah Huang, run faster! Go find Maternal Grandfather and Grandmother."

Ye Qingqing shouted. At this moment, she really wanted to trigger a Fire-type Ability.

Her Gold-element ability seemed like a mere decoration in front of these insects.

Wait!

Gold-element! Superpower!

As Ye Qingqing ran upstairs, she activated her Superpower as she went.

Ye Qingqing tried to manifest a metal shield to see if it could block the insects' advance.

However, a scene that surprised Ye Qingqing occurred.

When the metal shield blocked the stairs, the insects did not devour the metal when they came into contact with it.

Originally, Ye Qingqing thought these insects would swallow the metal along with everything else.

But now, they clearly weren't.

Instead, upon encountering the metal, they immediately turned around and attacked in other directions.

Surprise flashed in Ye Qingqing's eyes.

Soon, she sealed off all the passages the insects could use to get upstairs.

Ye Qingqing found that the insects indeed stopped coming up.

She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"That was close..."

But soon, Ye Qingqing heard Deng Jiayu's scream from upstairs.

Ye Qingqing didn't dare to rest any longer and immediately rushed up.

Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan were on the top floor.

But now, those insects had crawled up the exterior walls of the building directly to the highest point.

Ye Qingqing recalled the scene when she and Ah Huang had gone out and the insects immediately surrounded them.

She guessed that these insects could smell the location of humans.

Ah Huang, carrying Huo Cunsheng, was the first to rush up.

The moment Ah Huang reached the top, he spat a mouthful of fire, destroying the insects behind Pei Siyuan that were about to bite him.

By now, Ah Huang was so tired he felt like cursing.

Because Ah Huang hadn't rested at all.

The fireballs from his mouth were being spat out so much that it felt like he was smoking, yet there was no sign of these insects being wiped out.

When Ye Qingqing reached the top floor, her Gold-element ability erupted instantly, manufacturing several metal shields in succession, enough to ensure they could fit the four people and one dog.

But this method was only temporary.
