"Damn it, what rotten luck. I only came to find that slutty fox for a bit of fun, and I actually ran into these crazed ant swarms." A massive bear-headed demon cursed as he fled in panic atop a mass of azure clouds, not far from Lu Xiaotian and the others, who were also escaping.
Not far away, there were also two fire corpses dressed in palace robes, their entire bodies wreathed in flames and reeking of corpses. Then there was Daoist Sanhua.
"Running like this won't solve anything. If we all fight on our own, these venomfire ants will pick us off one by one sooner or later. We should join forces, fighting as we retreat. That way, we might escape this damn swarm sooner." The slightly taller fire corpse spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Brother Blazing Corpse is absolutely right. When our strength is divided, we are weak; when united, we are strong. What do you several friends think?"

Even if he could not win them over, at least they would not immediately turn on him later.
"Fine. We'll cover one another in turns." Lu Xiaotian nodded. Aside from Daoist Sanhua, the others were either fire corpses or members of the Demon Race, but with the ant swarm threatening them, their racial differences naturally had to be set aside. Staying alive was the only sensible priority.
