67: Ants of Karmic Fire!

As a Siberian Tiger, to break free from the Research Institute's control, Lin Tianwei would inevitably have to fight the humans there.

Before, he wasn't confident.

But now, he was strong enough.

Strong enough to face any potential attack!

Fortunately, this was America.

Being a bit ruthless was just doing good for the people!

All enemies who dared to stand in his way would be utterly crushed by him!

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei no longer hesitated and ran towards the boundary.

Although surveillance cameras were everywhere, for Lin Tianwei, exposure or not wasn't important.

Because he couldn't eliminate all surveillance cameras.

Especially the surveillance from countless meters high in the sky, which made it impossible for him to avoid.

Actively attacking the cameras would instead expose his intelligence.

And attract the attention of these humans.

After all, his destination, that terrifying sandy area, didn't have such tall trees to obscure satellite vision.

Lin Tianwei's speed was very fast, and in a short while, he arrived near the iron wall separating him from the mutated ants.

Without hesitation, ignoring the powerful electric current, Lin Tianwei's flexible body quickly climbed the ten-meter-high iron wall.

As his vision gradually widened, Lin Tianwei finally saw the situation on the other side.

This was indeed a sandy area.

The vegetation and environment were completely different from Zone F where Lin Tianwei lived.

It was very strange.

Inside and outside the wall, it was as if they were two different worlds.

The most peculiar thing was the red dots scurrying across the sand.

As Lin Tianwei had guessed, these were terrifyingly massive ants.

They were everywhere, on the ground and underground.

They possessed an incredibly terrifying number, enough to shake any powerful existence.

Many ants can bite an elephant to death; it's not a joke.

To advance?

To retreat?

Facing a powerful opponent, Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly chose to attack.

Zone F was already worthless to him.

Rather than stagnating here, it was better to take the initiative.

To gain greater power.

These red ants might be strong.

But this also meant they could provide Lin Tianwei with powerful Talents.

Especially the Ant Queen, hidden somewhere unknown.

She might harbor the Talent Lin Tianwei yearned for.

Thinking this, with a light leap, Lin Tianwei jumped down from the ten-meter-high iron wall.

He was going to meet a new challenge!

The invasion of an unfamiliar scent undoubtedly alerted these red ants.

Like an instinct, they began to gather in Lin Tianwei's direction.

Quickly forming a mutated ant army.

To expel, or devour, Lin Tianwei, the creature daring to invade their territory.

Although there was a huge size difference, these mutated ants showed no fear.

Numbers were their greatest advantage.

Watching the red tide surge towards him, Lin Tianwei's body began to stir.

It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent worthy of his full effort.

He started running, launching an attack against these red ants.

With a powerful swipe, Lin Tianwei's tiger claws accurately struck three mutated ants in front of him.

The moment his tiger claws touched the ants, Lin Tianwei felt as if he had touched some kind of metal.

He encountered strong resistance.

These red ants had impressive defenses!

However, no matter how high their defense, it couldn't withstand Lin Tianwei's claws.

The thick Carapace of these three mutated ants only allowed them to hold on for a moment longer.

They were immediately torn apart by Lin Tianwei, their bodies separated.

Fiery red liquid flowed from their wounds.

Gradually staining the nearby ground.

Even so, they still weren't dead and were struggling fiercely.

At the same time, more mutated ants took advantage of Lin Tianwei's attack.

They surged towards him like a tide.

In a short while, some closer ants had already crawled up Lin Tianwei's leg.

Without hesitation, they opened their large mouths and bit down hard on Lin Tianwei's thigh.

Their pincer-like teeth, gleaming with a cold light, seemed capable of piercing through anything.

Yet, they couldn't bite through Lin Tianwei's tiger hide.

With the blessing of Flesh Armor, Lin Tianwei's defense was far from as low as it appeared.

Seeing that biting was unsuccessful, these red ants didn't get discouraged.

While biting Lin Tianwei tightly, their bodies bent into an arch.

Their tail stings, like sharp swords, fiercely stabbed towards Lin Tianwei.

Perhaps targeting a small point to break a larger surface was effective.

Or perhaps the red ants' tail stings were incredibly sharp.

This time, the mutated ant successfully pierced Lin Tianwei's tiger hide.

Even more, a terrifying Poison was injected into Lin Tianwei's body along the tail sting.

Feeling the stinging pain from his body, Lin Tianwei couldn't help but frown.

It seemed he had underestimated the combat power of these mutated ants.

As fellow S-class research subjects, the gap in combat power could be vast.

After all, the S-class judgment standard was research value, not combat power.

Such tiny bodies could actually tear through his defenses.

It seemed he couldn't stand here as a living target.

Greater speed would be his trump card to defeat them.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei quickly started running.

With a few maneuvers, he dodged the mutated ants' encirclement.

He also took the opportunity to launch several more attacks against them.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang!

His tiger paws striking the red ants produced a huge explosive sound each time.

Their hard outer shells, under Lin Tianwei's full power, still couldn't hold up and directly exploded.

Juices splattered everywhere.

Some even got on Lin Tianwei's body.

Sizzling.

That was the sound of the fiery red liquid corroding Lin Tianwei's fur.

It was clear that it carried a potent Poison.

However, with Lin Tianwei's Poison Resistance, these ant venoms were mere child's play.

Looking at the endless stream of mutated ants surging towards him.

Lin Tianwei took a deep breath.

This would be a battle of Endurance!

—

Just as Lin Tianwei was fighting the red ants, Mike from the Research Institute also noticed something was wrong.

The surveillance footage from Zone F had lost Lin Tianwei's presence.

Not here, not here either!

Mike's face changed drastically.

Finally, while replaying the surveillance, he discovered that Lin Tianwei had gone to the adjacent Zone C.

Zone C?

Mike's face instantly changed color.

A group of terrifying Hellfire Ants resided there.

They could not only devour gold and silver, but their bodies also contained terrifying toxins.

Once bitten, the toxins entering the body would cause pain like being burned by raging fire.

Ultimately, the toxins would spread throughout the body, as if completely burning out the soul, leading to loss of life.

This was also the origin of the name Hellfire Ants.

It described not only their flame-like color.

The Tiger King might be powerful, but facing an endless stream of Hellfire Ants, there was only death.

Mike's face instantly changed drastically.

He could not bear the consequence of losing another S-class research subject.

He immediately reported to his superiors.

Zone C was no longer an area he could manage; it had to be dealt with after communication with his superiors.
