Safety?

"Follow me!" I said as I rushed forward.

The soldiers had worry in their eyes from the number of ants behind us. Yet they had full confidence in my ability to get us out of this mess. After all, not only was I the only one with the majority of my cultivation base intact, I was also the one propping and guiding them throughout our ordeal in this venture of the Dark Garden.

The map in my hand indicates a safe location further up north, however to get there we'll need to cross close to the ant colony. 

"Up ahead!" old Fu said. 

Two gigantic ants were coming at us. They had their mandibles clamping and opening fast creating a loud metallic clang of sounds, enough to inform other ants to come over and to send fear into the heart of its prey.

"Stay close!" I shouted to the group as the two ants were rushing at us. I noticed a boulder in our path to which I rushed to and pulled up with one arm and sent flying using the same motion.
