The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 414 - 414 No Water!

"Slap!"

Qin Feng slapped Wu Shijie's face again, knocking off a marching ant crawling on his face.

Wu Shijie had no time to get angry and looked around in horror.

"Look!!"

One of them pointed at a camel not far away.

They shockingly discovered that the camel was completely covered in marching ants. It struggled desperately a few times, but to no avail.

Finally,

It was bitten to death alive.

Everyone watched with horror.

Professor Ma hurriedly reminded everyone, saying, "Run, get away from them!"

A group of people started to flee desperately.

But who knew,

All around them were marching ants, a dense black mass, quickly gathering towards them.

"What should we do…"

Wu Shijie and others were so frightened that they sat down on the ground.

Lin Xue'er clung tightly to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng then said, "It's okay, they are afraid of fire, we can use fire against them."

"But... the lighter, the matches, they are all in the bags carried by the camel…" Professor Ma and others said anxiously.

Marching ants were everywhere between them and the camel.

Seeing them about to approach,

Wu Shijie was almost crying.

Seeing the situation, Qin Feng immediately said, "Then bring all your clothes here."

"Clothes?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Qin Feng didn't have time to explain and said, "If you want to live, do it quickly, don't delay."

Soon,

Everyone took off their jackets and handed them to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng held a piece of clothing in his hand, then slightly mobilized his Inner Strength, and the clothing suddenly burst into flames with a "whoosh"!

He swung the fire around.

The approaching marching ants also retreated.

People see the situation, astonished.

Was he performing magic? Without any tools, he managed to ignite the clothes.

They didn't know that Qin Feng had the Separation Fire Essence in him.

Just needing a flammable material, he could start a fire.

Of course, For character sheets and glossaries, visit *.

The growth of the Separation Fire Essence was a bit low at the moment; if it grew a bit more, even the void could ignite.

At this moment,

Qin Feng ignited the rest of the clothes, made several simple torches for everyone to carry, and then he led the way, opening a path and leading everyone to a distant place.

Shortly,

Everyone finally escaped that area and got far from the marching ants.

"It's all over, all over..."

People like Wu Shijie sat on the ground, gasping heavily, and said, "Our camel was eaten by ants, how will we move? It's all over..."

"There are no camels, but we must persevere!" Professor Ma said.

"But, riding camels, it took us so many days to get here, if there are no camels, then we are completely doomed." Wu Shijie said again.

"Are you trying to retreat?"

"…"

Wu Shijie felt depressed.

Being the team leader, if he was the first to retreat, it would be too shameful.

He looked at Qin Feng and said, "It's all your fault, if it wasn't for you attracting the marching ants, our camel wouldn't have died, it's all your fault!"

"…"

Qin Feng was baffled.

He hadn't expected this guy to be grateful for saving their lives, yet instead, this guy started to blame him.

Professor Ma could no longer stand by and said to Wu Shijie, "Shijie, don't blame others. You should thank them instead. Otherwise, if you had been slapped a few more times, you would have been in a worse situation. Besides, we were also saved by them and brought here."

"..."

Wu Shijie's face instantly turned red.

He was slapped several times and yet he was expected to be thankful, which was really frustrating.

After a moment.

Once the Marching Ants had left, they returned to the original spot to retrieve their luggage.

Their camels had turned into nothing but bones.

Their food supplies in the luggage were also gone!

"It's over... Where are my compressed biscuits?"

Wu Shijie cried out.

Including everyone else, all the food in their backpacks had been thoroughly consumed by the Marching Ants, not even leaving behind crumbs of the biscuits.

Only a few cans with metal exteriors of canned fish remained.

For a moment.

Everyone's spirits were low.

Qin Feng then urged them, "Let's go back! Don't go any further."

"Now, we only have a few cans of fish left and not much water either; we can't make it back. We have to find the Ancient City to get some food and water to survive the desert, so moving forward is our only option," Professor Ma said.

He then addressed Qin Feng, "Young man, I see you are brave and resourceful. Why not travel with us?"

He was already disappointed in these young people.

When choosing the team, each of these young people expressed their ability to endure hardships and weren't afraid of harsh cold or scorching heat, all full of fighting spirit and boiling blood.

Since they were physically strong, Professor Ma chose them.

But after entering the desert, they realized that these were just pampered kids. A journey that should have taken a week ended up taking almost half a month.

They looked far inferior compared to Qin Feng.

"Professor, he might very well be a tomb raider! We absolutely can't go with him!" Wu Shijie complained bitterly.

"I don't want to go with you either."

Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders.

This group was nothing but a drag to him.

He asked Lin Xue'er, "Do you want to come with me?"

After all his relationship with Lin Xue'er was close; he couldn't leave her behind.

Lin Xue'er then looked troubled and said, "Qin Feng, you know the food is running low, and if we can't find the Ancient City, it's absolutely impossible to return. I can't leave everyone, so… will you come with us?"

"Yes, come with us!" Professor Ma also hurriedly added, "to make a contribution to our nation's cultural heritage."

"..."

Qin Feng had no choice but to agree.

After all, according to the map, they were almost there with just two more days to go.

Wu Shijie still wanted to object.

But he was scolded by Professor Ma and had to swallow his anger.

The group continued on their way.

The next day, they ran out of water.

The last drop of water was drunk by Wu Shijie, and everyone was parched and weak.

"Water, I need water..."

Many lay on the ground, calling out tiredly.

Professor Ma, with his cracked lips, checked the map, his eyes filled with anxiety; continuing like this, they would not make it to the Ancient City.

"It's all your fault, insisting on him coming along." Wu Shijie complained at that moment, "Now, look, one more person to share water, and now the water is gone... We'll all die here..."

"..."

Qin Feng was bewildered and said, "Are you crazy? Did I even drink any of your water? Instead, it was you who finished the water I brought."

"Enough, enough talking, it's all your fault!"

Wu Shijie said.

Qin Feng couldn't be bothered with him anymore and walked away.

Lin Xue'er, seeing the situation, quickly asked him what he was doing.

"Going to pee, and also to look for a water source."

Qin Feng waved his hand and continued forward.

Behind a small sand dune, as he was unbuckling his belt, Professor Ma staggered over, handing him a bottle of mineral water, and said, "Qin Feng, pee in this, it might save a life."

"..."

Qin Feng, embarrassed, replied, "No need for that, I'll go find a water source, no problem."
