Chapter 114 Extraordinary Creatures
On the bridge, Dongmen Chuixue and his group of more than sixty people were already locked in a fierce battle with the dozen or so guard ants left behind. The battlefield was chaotic, and the survivors, relying on their numerical advantage and the strength of their temporary abilities, were frantically attacking the heavily armored guard ants.
The clash of swords, shouts, and the sound of shells shattering intertwined.
Although the Royal Guard Ants were formidable, they began to fall one after another under the combined fire of their overwhelming numbers and various temporary abilities.
But the price was heavy! There were already no fewer than ten survivors lying on the ground, and many more were bearing injuries of varying degrees, gritting their teeth and persevering.
Fortunately, the last few guard ants protecting the queen were finally cut down.
Only the last ordinary lion ant queen, with a fat and bloated body that was almost unable to move, lay alone on the soft mud in the center of the burial ball, emitting a desperate hiss.
The blond-haired man, who had been hovering on the edge of the battle, had bloodshot eyes. He was using his four arms, which had been temporarily activated by his abilities, to frantically swing a fishbone knife and howl as he chopped at the joints of a dying guard ant. His face was splattered with yellow fluid that was hard to tell if it was his own or the ant's.
His physical abilities were greatly enhanced, making his attacks fierce.
Since he had been coasting and hadn't really fought, his stamina was still within a healthy range.
While the others were breaking down the materials and catching their breath, a fierce glint flashed in Huang Mao's eyes, and he dashed into the earthen ball where the queen ant was lying!
At that moment, Yu Wang and his support troops of about seventy men rushed onto the bridge and poured into the battlefield!
"Get out of my way! Don't get in my way of delivering the final blow!" Upon hearing the commotion behind him, the blond-haired man roared a warning without turning around. He was closest to the queen ant and was confident of victory.
"What a despicable bunch!" a blood-covered burly man in Dongmen Chuixue's group cursed angrily. "Where were you when we were fighting to the death, when so many of our brothers died?! Now that the battle is almost over, you rush in to steal the spoils of victory?!"
"The first kill was from our 711 division! Besides, no matter how many, I contributed too! If anyone should be cursing, it should be the newcomers!" People from the division to which the blond guy belonged shouted, trying to intimidate the newcomers like Wang.
"Pah! Who cares about competing with you for the first kill!" someone on Yu Wang's side immediately retorted, their tone anxious. Old Wang was even more furious, jumping up and down: "We're here to remind you! Don't rush to kill the queen ant! Wait until the other side has killed off most of the male ants before you make your move! Otherwise, it will summon the male ant swarm!"
"What male ant? I've never seen one!"
The blond guy wouldn't listen to a word, and he hated being told what to do. All he could see was the BOSS right in front of him and the generous reward for the final blow!
He might even get a server-wide announcement then!
Thinking of this, Huang Mao could no longer hold back. He rushed to the side of the queen ant's huge head, gripped the machete tightly with all his might, and slashed down hard at the relatively vulnerable joint of the queen ant's head!
puff!
The blade struggled to pierce the queen ant's carapace, and a thick, yellow fluid suddenly spurted out!
As if to confirm the previous warning, the injured queen ant suddenly let out a special hissing sound that was extremely high-pitched and penetrating!
At the same time, several special glands at the end of its abdomen suddenly swelled up, spraying out a large amount of dense, pale red pheromone mist that was visible to the naked eye!
The closest survivor, the blond guy, and several others who were trying to get close and steal the kill were hit head-on by the pheromone mist!
"Cough cough!!" They coughed violently, but then their faces changed drastically, and they clutched their throats as if they couldn't breathe!
Survivors with X-ray vision witnessed their lungs shrinking and failing at a visible rate!
In just a few seconds, these people stared wide-eyed in disbelief and terror, suffocated to death, and collapsed limply!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Get away from that red mist!" someone shouted in alarm.
Seeing this, the others were terrified and quickly retreated, no longer daring to approach the core area where the queen ant was located.
With no one stopping it, the wounded queen ant hissed even more vigorously, her voice shrill and desperate, like a final death knell, instantly echoing throughout the entire vast royal palace cavity!
The sound could be faintly transmitted to the deeper parts of the nest through the honeycomb-like holes and passages in the rock wall!
"It's starting to summon! Male ants, soldier ants, and the like, come back at any moment! Prepare to fight!" Yu Wang shouted to Kuang Sha and the others who had just rushed in, while his eyes were fixed on the several huge black holes on the surrounding rock walls.
One second, two seconds, three seconds —
The terrifying scene that was expected—the male ants swarming out and overwhelming everyone—did not occur!
The cavity remained calm, and the black holes remained deep and silent, without any movement.
"----call."
Yu Wang's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he understood.
It seems Lin Wei's team has succeeded! They must have found the male ant nest, rendering the queen ant's last resort useless!
"Great opportunity! Go all out! Finish it off! The final blow will be up to fate!"
""
After Yu Wang finished speaking, he bravely leaped forward and charged forward, his crab claws and harpoons attacking even more fiercely, aiming straight for the queen ant's head, which was trembling with pain!
Mad Shark, Survival Expert Lao Wang, Dongmen Chuixue and others were also greatly encouraged and immediately joined the battle. Various attacks rained down on the queen ant's huge body, focusing their fire.
Compared to the queen ant's size, their weapons only cause superficial wounds when they hit her. Given the insects' tenacious vitality, it's really hard to predict who will receive the final blow!
Having lost all hope, the queen ant's injuries rapidly worsened under the combined assault of the ants. Her hissing became weak and feeble, and her struggles grew increasingly feeble.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight and the final first kill result could appear at any moment.
Anomalies are brewing once more!
"roar!!"
The roar of the lion ants from the era of divine war suddenly came from above! The entire earthen ball and root bridge began to tremble slightly!
The sound was so loud that everyone in the room could barely breathe, and their heart skipped a beat!
A powerful sense of fear, stemming from an instinct for survival, instantly gripped everyone's heart!
"Extraordinary beings!!"
Yu Wang's mind was filled with only these four words!
Suddenly looking up towards the source of the sound, to everyone's horrified gaze, the top rock wall was violently shattered from the inside! Several enormous, dark red-shelled God War Era lion ants emerged first, quickly clearing the entrance like a loyal guard.
Immediately afterwards, a massive, chilling shadow slowly "squeezed" out from the enlarged hole!
That was a queen ant.
But its size is nearly three times larger than the dying ordinary lion ant queen below!
Its entire carapace is an orange-red color, like cooled magma, thick and ferocious, with intricate and strange patterns naturally engraved on it, exuding an aura of wildness and time.
Its abdomen is abnormally swollen and translucent, and you can even clearly see the huge, slowly wriggling insect eggs inside.
Its compound eyes gleam with wisdom; they can think and even awaken inherited memories.
This is an ant queen from the Age of Gods!
If the previously observed ants were only a few sporadic worker and soldier ants that had reverted to their ancestral forms, then they would ultimately not amount to much.
Lion ants have a limited lifespan. Once these atavistic individuals die naturally, the difficulty of the dungeon will return to normal.
But now, even the queen ant has appeared!
This means that a colony of God-War Lion Ants with complete reproductive capabilities and the ability to grow and thrive independently has quietly taken shape here!
This ant queen, who had reverted to her ancestral form, seemed to have been attracted by the dying summoning pheromones of the ordinary ant queen below, and came to investigate, intending to take over this place!
