I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 274 Consuming Strength

"Who will try the Beast Taming Talisman next?"

Jiang Yuan placed the Beast Taming Talisman in front of the two women. He and Xiao Pang had both failed, so now only Leng Yue and Ning Yanlan remained.

"Me? Your wife isn't in good health. Wouldn't you feel terrible if I made her suffer?" Leng Yue took the beast-taming talisman.

“Alright, then Yanlan can meet us outside!” Jiang Yuan said.

"Be careful!"

The plan remains the same as before: Ning Yanlan cannot venture deep into the ant queen's nest, as the dangers inside are unknown and her condition is not suitable for taking risks. Moreover, she is better suited to oversee the overall situation from the outside.

Having a concealment robe made their infiltration much easier, and Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue even started chatting.

"Thank you so much for finding such a useful shield for Fatty!"

"You're welcome. I just wanted to make him back down!"

"Give up when faced with difficulties?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled.

"To lift the meteorite plate without exerting force, you need at least two thousand units of strength! So he won't bother me for a while!" Leng Yue said nonchalantly.

“But he likes you, isn’t this a bad thing to do?” Jiang Yuan hesitated. He didn’t want to interfere in his personal feelings, but Xiao Pang was his best friend, and he couldn’t just sit idly by.

"I like to take the initiative! No one else can win me over; I only like the people I want to pursue!" Leng Yue said, looking straight at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan paused for three seconds, then quickly shook his head and said, "Why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No!" Leng Yue answered decisively, then changed the subject, "What do you think about subduing the queen ant?"

"After I severely damage it, I will suppress it with my attributes. If you take advantage of its weakness to enslave it, the success rate may be much higher!" Jiang Yuan said, revealing his method.

"Of course, your will is the most important! Remember, the queen ant has royal attributes; you must be stronger than her to make her submit!"

Leng Yue nodded and said, "This time, you attack the queen ant's body, and I'll attack the nutrient tank behind her! Afterward, try to distract it and create the best opportunity for me to subdue it!"

"no problem!"

The two had approached the queen ant, less than twenty meters away.

"The atmosphere feels different from last time!" Leng Yue's voice appeared in the spirit ring.

"We attacked the queen ant twice. Even if it's not very intelligent, it will strengthen its defenses!" Jiang Yuan explained.

"You guys need to be careful, I have a feeling that the cave ants nearby are starting to move!"

Ning Yanlan conveyed her worries through her spirit rings. It was clear that the situation was even more dire this time. If they failed again, it would be almost impossible to subdue the ant queen.

Jiang Yuantian's Heavenly Eye swept across the nest, and when he discovered soldier ants emerging one by one, he shouted in a deep voice, "Move out! The queen ant has spotted us!"

If soldier ants are lurking in the nest, it means that the queen ant has been waiting for them.

"Lightning Mark! Dark Strike!"

Without a word, Leng Yue teleported behind the ant queen. In a flash, lightning blasted open the ant queen's dragging rear end, and the disgusting-looking nutrient solution gushed out like a dam releasing a flood.

"It's my turn!"

"Holy Attribute - Suppression!"

With divine power surging, the will of the God-Slaying Spear awakened. With the blessing of the Earth Dragon's essence blood, the God-Slaying Spear's battle intent soared, and Jiang Yuan activated Hidden Kill without hesitation.

"Power Convergence - Tenfold Stealth Strike!"

Jiang Yuan's divine energy was depleted by fifty points in one go. The energy consumption of the tenfold hidden attack was unusually high. If he hadn't used the Holy Spirit Crystal to restore some of his divine energy earlier, this attack alone would have drained him dry.

"kill!"

The tip of the God-Slaying Spear landed on the queen ant's head, which was as large as a millstone. Its dark shell was dozens of times harder than the sac behind it, but it still could not withstand the killing power of the God-Slaying Spear. In just an instant, the God-Slaying Spear pierced a foot deep, and its divine power also erupted at that moment.

This time, the worker ants and soldier ants reacted exceptionally quickly, launching an attack in just five seconds. Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue were in grave danger!

"I'm going to use it!" Leng Yue conveyed her thoughts.

"I'll lend you one last helping hand!" Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and activated his talent, "Mind Control!"

This was the first time he had used mind control to control a ninth-tier monster. Although he knew that such an outcome would likely result in him suffering a backlash, just like with the little fat guy before, he needed to clear the obstacles for Leng Yue to tame the ant queen.

"puff!"

As expected, crimson blood seeped from Jiang Yuan's eyes, a result of the damage to his divine consciousness caused by the backlash.

"Target for Beast Taming: The Queen Ant!"

Leng Yue shifted her body to the side and forcefully struck the Beast Taming Talisman into the queen ant's head. Then, she activated the energy to begin enslaving the queen ant through the Beast Taming Talisman.

"Watch out, the soldier ants are pressing in!" Ning Yanlan's voice was filled with anxiety. She hadn't expected the soldier ants to arrive so quickly this time, launching an attack in just half a minute.

"Leng Yue, it's time to go!" As the captain, Jiang Yuan had to make a judgment on the situation, and the lives of his team members always came first.

Leng Yue was completely absorbed in the beast-taming talisman and did not respond.

"The last three minutes!" Jiang Yuan gave a number, which was the number he could hold out for. If all the cave ants in the entire ant nest came, even a ninth-level monster would be fought over and devoured by them.

"Another fight is about to break out!"

A raging fire ignited in Jiang Yuan's eyes, and he laughed wildly, "I like it!"

Upon landing, the spear pierced the head of a cave ant. However, once one ant died, several others would take its place. Cave ants don't care about martial arts etiquette; they'll swarm you until they've bitten you into a corpse.
