Chapter 106: Rebirth of the Ant Nest (V)
“Boom—Crack!”
With another violent tremor, the illusion in the room was completely shattered!
The ceiling, walls, floor... everything shattered like glass, revealing its true and hideous appearance: a huge, damp underground cave.
The rock wall was covered with sticky liquid and a tangled web of flesh-colored tubes, pulsating slightly and rhythmically, like the internal organs of some insect monster.
"ah--!"
The children were so frightened by the horrific sight that they burst into tears and clung to Feng Zheng tightly, trembling. Feng Zheng himself looked ashen, his domain forcibly shattered, his insect energy repulsed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Father Feng!"
"Wife, what the hell is this place? Did we fall into a monster's belly?" E Shifang pretended to puff up his feathers and stuck close to Xie Mian's butt.
Xie Mian wanted to lift E Shifang aside, but unexpectedly, this guy held him tightly.
"Wife, the goose is so scary!"
Xie Mian's face looked extremely ugly.
"It's not the monster's belly, it's its blood nest!" Lin Heng's face was solemn.
He slammed his hands down on the ground. "We've been inside a giant insect nest since the beginning!"
Countless tough vines grew wildly from under his feet, quickly weaving into a hemispherical green barrier, covering all the children, Feng Zheng and his dazed wife.
"elder brother!"
Xie Mian looked at Lin Heng, and the two brothers exchanged glances instantly.
They all understood that Feng Zheng's domain was not created out of thin air, but was attached to this ready-made underground space - the lair of a high-level insect monster!
And the entrance they came in through, the hole with the bear biscuit as an "anchor", was now being forcibly taken back by the owner of the nest!
"roar--!"
Another deafening roar came from the direction of the entrance. This time, they could even feel the fishy and violent air waves.
"You stay here and protect them!" Xie Mian made a prompt decision and said to Lin Heng.
"No!" Lin Heng flatly refused. "The things outside are very high-level. You can't handle them alone! I'll go with you. The vine barrier can temporarily block it!"
Xie Mian glanced at the children crying inside the barrier, then looked at Lin Heng's determined eyes and no longer hesitated.
"E Shifang, you stay!"
He uttered a few words, and the butterfly wings behind him suddenly opened. His body turned into a stream of light and rushed back towards the corridor where he came from, which was the source of the roar!
Lin Heng followed closely behind, with several thick rose vines following him like a shadow, circling around him, ready to attack at any time.
The tunnel was shaking violently, with gravel and mucus constantly falling. The two of them were as fast as lightning, and in just a few breaths, they rushed out of the collapsing black cave!
The moment they returned outside, the scene before them made them both gasp.
The originally abandoned community has been completely changed.
With the hole they came out of as the center, a huge gap with a diameter of more than 50 meters was torn in the ground, forming a bottomless pit.
This is not an abandoned community at all, but a giant ant nest disguised beneath the surface!
At this moment, an ant with a body length of nearly ten meters, covered with a black shell all over its body, two huge antennae on its head, and ferocious jaws opened, was using its head to frantically hit the entrance of the ant nest!
It was its attack that tore apart Feng Zheng's territory.
Behind the giant ant, thousands of soldier ants emerged from deep underground, forming a red tide.
They made a hissing sound and emitted a disgusting sour and rotten smell.
"It's... the red-footed ant!"
Lin Heng's voice was a little difficult, "How could something like this appear in the city!"
The red-footed blood ant is a high-level insect monster known for its ferocity, large numbers and strict hierarchy. Its queen is even capable of competing with top insect followers!
The giant ant had obviously discovered them as well. It stopped attacking and its six scarlet compound eyes instantly locked onto Xie Mian who was floating in the air.
It regarded them as enemies invading its nest!
"roar!"
The fierce ant roared, gave up the entrance, and instead stretched out its six thick limbs, rushing towards the two of them like an out-of-control heavy truck!
"Brother, you deal with the little one, I'll take care of this big one!"
Fighting spirit rose in Xie Mian's eyes, and he advanced instead of retreating.
The silver-white long sword in his hand made a clear humming sound, and the white and green lights intertwined and flowed, turning into a shocking sword light, facing the huge head of the fierce ant, and chopped it down fiercely!
The knife hit the red-legged blood ant's head hard, causing a string of dazzling sparks to explode.
However, this knife, which was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks, only left a white mark on the shell and failed to split it in two!
The giant ant felt pain and let out an even more violent roar. Its huge jaws suddenly closed and cut towards Xie Mian's waist at an astonishing speed!
"careful!"
As Lin Heng's voice rang out, several rose vines that had been ready to sprout on the ground broke out of the ground. Like giant green pythons, they instantly wrapped around the six limbs of the fierce ant, firmly fixing it in place.
"hiss--!"
The fierce ants struggled frantically, and the vines were stretched straight, making a "crunching" sound as they could not bear the weight.
Xie Mian's body folded in the air, his butterfly wings vibrated, and he instantly appeared above the fierce ant's head.
He gripped the blade with both hands, pouring all the immense insect energy from his body into the blade without reservation. The silver-white blade shone brightly, like a concentrated, bright moon.
"die!"
He let out a low roar, and stabbed the long sword from top to bottom, accurately piercing the same point where he had just left a white mark!
“Puff!”
This time, there are no obstacles.
The sharp tip of the knife pierced through the hard shell and sank deep into the ant's brain. Green liquid gushed out from the wound.
The giant ant's huge body suddenly stiffened, its scarlet compound eyes quickly dimmed, and its struggling strength disappeared.
With a loud bang, its heavy body fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
However, before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, an even more horrifying scene occurred.
After the giant fierce ant fell, the red tide composed of countless soldier ants on the ground not only did not recede, but instead seemed to be stimulated by something and became even more manic.
They ignored their dead companions, walked around their corpses, and continued to pour out from the deep pit underground with an attitude of fearlessness and perseverance!
"Damn it!" Lin Heng's face changed. "This big one isn't the queen ant, it's just a mutant soldier ant! As long as the queen ant isn't dead, these soldier ants will be endless!"
Xie Mian put away his knife and stood, looking coldly at the bottomless entrance of the ant nest.
"Brother, you guard the cave entrance and don't let them rush out and threaten the children. I'll go in and pull out the queen ant!"
"No, it's too dangerous inside!" Lin Heng immediately rejected it. "Let's go in together and finish this quickly!"
"What about the soldier ants outside?"
"I can't care about that anymore!" Lin Heng said in a deep voice, "If we don't get rid of the queen ant, we will be exhausted to death here sooner or later!"
The two reached a consensus and rushed into the ant nest side by side.
At the same time, in a cave deep inside the ant nest.
The green barrier formed by vines remained strong, protecting the crying children and Feng Zheng's dazed wife.
E Shifang, who had recovered, no longer had his usual playful smile. His small eyes flashed with a rare glint as he stared around vigilantly.
He could feel a weak but persistent wave of insect energy emanating from the dazed woman, faintly connected to the energy of the entire nest.
"Gah!"
E Shifang flapped his wings, and instantly expanded a huge, translucent energy shield, which completely turned Lin Heng's vine barrier inside.
After doing all this, he did not stop. Instead, he walked to the vine barrier, stretched out his wings, and gently tapped the barrier.
The vines left by Lin Heng actually split open on their own.
E Shifang did not go in, but "invited" Feng Zheng and his wife, who were in a daze outside, out from the vine barrier.
"Dad Feng?" The children looked at the scene in confusion.
Feng Zheng was pushed out in a daze, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the gap in the vine barrier quickly closed, completely isolating him and his wife from the double protection.
“Ga…”
E Shifang looked at the couple who were left outside, especially the woman, with a pair of extremely cold eyes.
His wife and brother-in-law didn't notice it, but he had already discovered that there was something wrong with this crazy woman.
"Queen Ant? Haha!"
I'm afraid all of this is controlled by this crazy woman.
