There were more than ten ants that had escaped the net. They were separated by the fire array on the other side of the hall. They were so scared that they kept retreating, not daring to get close at all.
It was only when Xia ruofei removed the formation that they slowly approached him again. It was obvious that they had received orders to attack anyone who entered the hall, so they would not give up easily.
Xia ruofei didn't release his formation to deal with the ants. He wanted to test his spiritual power, especially after he had reached the intermediate stage of the Golden elixir realm.
Naturally, Xia ruofei had an objective understanding of his own strength after the improvement of his cultivation. However, the change in his combat power was more obvious in actual combat.
Moreover, there were not many ants. Hence, Xia ruofei wanted to deal with them by himself instead of relying on the fire array.
