A month later.
Just as Owl and Sa had predicted, humanity simply could not stand against the Lion-Ant-Bees.
Countless cities, villages, and towns came under attack from the Lion-Ant-Bees. Deaths numbered in the tens of millions. The surviving humans fled in every direction, hunted down by beasts and shot dead by Lion-Ant-Bees.
The once peaceful continent had become steeped in despair. Humanity kept migrating toward the sea, and there were no longer many elderly people or children among the groups.
Different groups fought over food while also facing the Lion-Ant-Bees' relentless pursuit.
The Golden Family had initially intended to fight as well. Even after Owl and Sa returned to Duck Soup Mountain and told them everything they had seen, Jin Dingtian still chose to intercept the Lion-Ant-Bees.
His choice was not born of blind arrogance, but to cover the evacuation of the cities beyond Duck Soup Mountain.
That battle was almost completely one-sided. Though Jin Dingtian was powerful, he still fell far short of the Lion-Ant-Bees. In the end, he only managed to severely wound one Lion-Ant-Bee before dying of exhaustion himself.
After Jin Dingtian died, the Golden Family lost its will to fight and finally collapsed into flight.
It was not as though humanity had never considered resisting. Over the past month, quite a few people had gathered large numbers of able-bodied young men and, through their own charisma, character, and leadership, led them in counterattacks against the Lion-Ant-Bees.
But without exception, humanity ended in defeat. They simply had no way to contend with them.
The Lion-Ant-Bees numbered in the tens of thousands. Their defense, speed, and strength were flawless. Even when thousands of people gathered to besiege a lone Lion-Ant-Bee, it could still carve its way out of the encirclement, while countless humans were killed and wounded instead.
