Chapter 161 The Strongest Shield
Chapter 161 The Strongest Shield
The eight black ant monsters seemed to understand Zhang Xiaoyuan's words, their mouthparts emitting piercing shrieks as they charged at her.
Bang bang bang!
The black ant monster crashed into the shield formed by the Earth Guardian. In just an instant, the shield twisted and deformed, giving the illusion that it was about to shatter.
Zhang Xiaoyuan suddenly swung her fist and struck the black ant beast's carapace hard, sending it flying.
However, after the black ant monster landed, it only swayed slightly and after a few seconds, it launched another attack on Zhang Xiaoyuan.
[Black Ant Beast: A mutated black ant endowed with special buffs by the queen, possessing defensive capabilities far exceeding those of its kind, making it the strongest shield protecting the queen...]
According to the information obtained from the data panel analysis, after these black ant monsters released their armor transformation skill, their defense value could reach 350 points, which was vastly different from the power value when Zhang Xiaoyuan used the [Berserk] skill at full power.
Killing these eight black ant monsters will inevitably be a protracted battle.
Bang!
Three more black ant monsters were knocked away, and Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that the fist's energy was sharper this time, obviously triggering a killing effect.
With a "rip," two of the black ant monsters that were knocked away flashed with light and were immediately cut in half, with smooth cut surfaces.
The third black ant monster, being in the last position, had its black armor glow when the finishing blow landed on it, and it actually withstood the attack.
This surprised Zhang Xiaoyuan greatly, making her realize that the [Execute] effect was not omnipotent.
Even among those of the same level, you can encounter rivals.
Fortunately, his [Execute] skill was synthesized and, according to the rules set by the gods, possessed additional effects, which enabled him to effectively execute the two black ant monsters in front of him.
As the armor of the third black ant monster shattered, Zhang Xiaoyuan noticed a fleeting glimpse of pale white aura emanating from it.
Although the time was short, Zhang Xiaoyuan was able to pinpoint the source of the aura.
"This aura comes from underground. Could it be that the queen ant is continuously supplying these eight black ant monsters with energy? That's why they've been able to fight me for so long and still have peak stamina."
To verify his suspicions, Zhang Xiaoyuan roared and exerted all his strength, sending all the black ant monsters that were entangled around him flying.
Then, in a flash, he activated the [Earth Guardian] skill, merged into the ground, and burrowed underground.
Upon seeing this, the remaining six black ant monsters let out even more piercing and frantic screams and chased after Zhang Xiaoyuan.
……
Beneath the earth.
After entering the underground, Zhang Xiaoyuan did not linger and went straight down into the ground.
Although the [Earth Guardian] skill grants him the ability to walk on the earth, his speed is still a bit slower compared to the Black Ant Beast, which crawls in the soil year-round. Therefore, he must constantly increase his speed and not stop.
Because the Black Ant Beasts are led by a queen ant, their social ideology is more mature and more like human society. They also have many more underground tunnels, at least dozens of times more than the Mole Cricket Beasts.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoyuan encountered a problem in finding the queen ant.
He wasn't good at finding magical beasts; he could only clearly sense their presence when they were nearby.
Especially since the underground passage was complex, even with the help of the [Earth Guardian] skill to explore, Zhang Xiaoyuan was still caught up by the remaining six black ant monsters and they fought again.
Rumble!
The battle raged underground, and the powerful force collapsed sections of the tunnels.
The battlefield of the confrontation is constantly shifting.
This was something Zhang Xiaoyuan did intentionally.
Since he can't directly locate the queen ant, he might as well enter the enemy's territory and fight while searching for her location.
It must be said that Zhang Xiaoyuan's method is quite effective.
He was certain that the queen ant was down there, since the strongest shield among these black ant monsters must have been used to protect the queen ant.
Their presence here indicates that the queen ant is not far from Zhang Xiaoyuan's location.
After moving underground for a while, Zhang Xiaoyuan noticed that the passageways around her had suddenly become much denser.
Furthermore, as the passage was destroyed, a large number of low-level black ant monsters were shaken out of the passage and exposed, turning into experience points that entered Zhang Xiaoyuan's body.
"The number of black ant monsters has increased."
Zhang Xiaoyuan punched the black ant monster in front of her away and rushed in that direction.
At this moment, the six black ant monsters panicked and accelerated, rushing in front of Zhang Xiaoyuan in a flash to block her advance.
However, after such a long and intense battle, even though Zhang Xiaoyuan had been attacking continuously, she was already feeling tired, let alone the magical beasts that were enduring her attacks.
Although they are kept at their peak condition by the queen ant providing them with energy and will not die easily, their armor has been broken many times and their bodies are already on the verge of collapse.
The reason it hasn't died yet is entirely due to its intense obsession with the queen ant.
Zhang Xiaoyuan unleashed her full power, continuously mobilizing the shattered marks, ignoring the gradually increasing fine lines on her body, and threw a punch at the six black ant monsters.
With each punch, a black ant beast let out a scream, was sent flying, its armor shattered, and lay motionless on the ground for a long time without recovering.
Having absorbed the experience from the three black ant monsters, Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't finish them off. Instead, she charged towards the direction the black ant monsters had just blocked.
Once the queen ant is killed, the remaining black ant monsters will die sooner or later without her energy supply.
boom!
Zhang Xiaoyuan's fist touched the soil in front of her, and a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out. The soil in front of her cracked like ceramic.
Click!
As the soil in front of her completely crumbled, a massive underground palace suddenly appeared before Zhang Xiaoyuan.
However, before Zhang Xiaoyuan could get a good look, blinding lights came from both sides, like lightning in the night, heading straight for his head.
"Um?!"
Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned, feeling a sharp pain on her forehead, which brought a strong sense of urgency to her heart.
These two beams of light must not be intercepted!
Zhang Xiaoyuan hurriedly retreated, but the two beams of light followed closely.
As they drew closer to Zhang Xiaoyuan, and after Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes adjusted to the sudden light, she was able to see the true nature of the two bright lights.
Those were two silver-white ant magical beasts, only half the size of those black ant magical beasts above level 45, but their aura was nearly twice as strong.
This doesn't mean the Silver Ant Beast is level 90 or higher, but rather that its attack power is more than twice that of the Black Ant Beast.
shhhhh!
The two white orbs of light were two silver ant monsters. Their sharp heads pierced the air, and their speed increased rapidly. They were about to crash into Zhang Xiaoyuan.
[Silver Ant Monster: A mutated black ant endowed with special blessings by the queen, possessing attack capabilities far exceeding those of its kind, and is the strongest spear protecting the queen...]
"Can't avoid it? Then let's face it head-on!"
Zhang Xiaoyuan stopped retreating and clenched her fists.
It exudes an aura that can crush everything.
It exuded a chilling and tragic aura.
