"Meow?"
Neferpitou, who was being treated by the "Toy Repairer" ability, suddenly stood up his ears and swung his tail twice.
"What's wrong?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"The fake king is dead." Neferpitou said.
Although the target of loyalty has changed, the racial induction will not disappear.
The direct guards cannot telepathically communicate with the division commander and the corps commander, but they can sense the situation of the ant king!
Because the other two guards have been killed, at this time, apart from Bit, the only one who can sense the situation of the ant king is...
"Squeak" a super-large ant screamed in despair.
This only creature that still maintains the body of an ant is the queen of the chimera ants, and the queen ant, as the culprit, has always maintained the body of an "ant"!
Her devouring ability is different from that of the ant king. The ant king devours other creatures to strengthen himself, while the queen devours other creatures to improve the genes of the eggs she lays, and she herself will not change.
The reason why the queen ant, who is not good at fighting, is here is because after the ant king was defeated but rescued, Neferpitou, with the power of victory, began to recruit other chimera ants for Guan Liyuan.
Although Neferpitou's victory was not perfect because she did not kill the ant king, she has proved that she is the strongest Chimera Ant.
In addition, with Guan Liyuan around, even if the other Chimera Ants disagree, they dare not speak out now, and as for escaping... there is no chance.
At the same time, they naturally did not forget to search the ant nest again. In addition to some soldier ants that have not been forced to open their minds, the queen was also searched out.
After Meruem was born, the queen who had been providing energy for the king's eggs had also run out of energy.
In the original work, after the ant king was born, he was "out of temper" and directly injured the queen, leading to the queen's death... But now it seems that even if there was no such thing, the queen would not live long.
As a Chimera Ant in its original state with only some mutations, the queen's vocal cords are not enough for her to speak, but fortunately the other Chimera Ants can understand what she means.
At the beginning, after the queen knew the situation, she scolded Neferpitou... If Guan Liyuan hadn't stopped her, Neferpitou would have almost killed her directly.
Not only does the queen have no feelings for the Chimera Ants other than the "king", Neferpitou himself, as a direct guard, has no feelings for the queen, especially now that Neferpitou's "king" is Guan Liyuan!
Just when the queen refused to accept the fact that Meruem had been defeated, she suddenly felt... the information that Meruem was dead.
"It was killed by someone else, meow! Damn meow... Stop calling!" Neferpitou was very angry that he was robbed of the monster, and even had some cat-like temper. With a flash of fluorescence in his red eyes, he wanted to kill the big ant that kept calling.
At this time, a division commander with bird wings, but with a human shape as a whole, and only the nose and ears were strange facial features, rushed out and blocked Bit's casual attack... The price was that he flew backwards and was seriously injured.
"Huh?" Neferpitou looked at him curiously.
Judging from the limbs and feet of this "eagle", as well as the obvious insect characteristics, it should be one of the earliest division commanders.
"Do you want to die? Or... do you actually have a protective heart beyond instinct for her?" Neferpitou asked curiously.
If it weren't for Neferpitou's curiosity, Korudo wouldn't have had a chance to block it, and Neferpitou could have killed him and the queen with a casual blow.
The reason why it's "beyond instinct" is that when the queen is still able to reproduce, the pheromones she secretes will make other chimera ants instinctively protect the queen and suppress the reproductive ability of other chimera ants.
This is why, in the original work, when the queen was dying, the chimera ants that originally protected her scattered like birds and beasts, and only a few of the most loyal ones stayed with her, and surrendered to humans in order to treat the queen. At that time, the pheromones were no longer secreted.
Now the queen has also lost her reproductive ability, and normally other chimera ants will no longer be affected by her.
At this time, there are still chimera ants protecting her, which can only be said to be an act beyond "instinct".
"Neferpitou... No, Your Majesty the King of Ants, your bravery shines through the ages. The queen is no longer able to reproduce. Why don't you forgive her to show your magnanimity." Although Korudo was injured, he immediately stood up and knelt down and said.
"Chimera ants still have human emotions?" Nakuru couldn't help but whispered to the side.
His teacher, Mo Laowu, said, "Don't forget, some of them were humans in their previous lives, and they may even gradually remember some human memories. It's not surprising that they are affected by this."
At this time, Guan Liyuan didn't care about Neferpitou and other Chimera Ants.
For Guan Liyuan, whether other Chimera Ants join the Dark Continent Reclamation Group or die, although there is a difference, it's not that big!
The most important thing now is who killed Meruem...
Guan Liyuan is not worried about the strength of the Ant King, but his Nen ability makes Guan Liyuan worried!
If the Ant King is honest and cowardly for a while, and secretly devours other Nen users to improve his strength, maybe he can drive the danger level of the entire Chimera Ant population to rise by several levels!
Even...
To some extent, this is Guan Liyuan's nemesis in the Hunter World.
What is the most afraid of "Infinite Resurrection + The More You Die, the Stronger"? Kill monsters and level up!
Guan Liyuan doesn't want to be regarded as a boss who gives others experience, or a boss that can be refreshed infinitely.
Guan Liyuan had guessed from the beginning about the culprit who "took away" Nob's telekinesis, and now he got the "proof" from Nob.
Just a few days ago, a village with only children and women left was attacked. Nob was a step late, but before the village was slaughtered, a chimera ant division leader who looked like a lion man killed the soldier ants one step earlier...
"Well? Are you here to protect them? Haha, humans are still as late as before... This time I'm in a good mood and I'll save your kind once. Don't forget that you owe me a favor!"
At that time, Lei Oulu looked as if he couldn't stand the brutal behavior of his subordinates, or his human memory was awakened, which affected his personality.
Therefore, Nob didn't doubt anything. Facing the other party's "ridicule", he just replied without losing his dignity: "Well, I remember, I can spare your life in the future."
But he didn't know that this sentence had caused him to be recorded in the "debt issuance machine"...
At this time, Nuobu reviewed the memory of this incident with a "checking" eye, and found that there were too many coincidences since he "accidentally" learned the news of the village being attacked!
"It seems that it is him... It's a bit troublesome!" Guan Liyuan couldn't help but mutter.
Guan Liyuan has some understanding of Lei Oulu's ability from the original work.
In the original work, Lei Oulu always hoped that "the king" could owe him a favor, but the result was naturally death before the mission was accomplished...
And Guan Liyuan always suspected that the "king" in the original work would not admit that he owed him a favor even if he was helped by him? The standard ending is to just shake him to death with a tail, right?
However... Excluding how he did this, from the assumption that he had done this, with the "king's" ability to devour thoughts, being taken away for 1 hour is no different from being completely taken away.
If it is replaced by "the king" with Lei Oulu's brain... Even if his body is weaker, Lei Oulu knows how to endure and show weakness. It may not be difficult to surpass "the king" in time!
"Where are the exits of the four-dimensional apartment?" Guan Liyuan asked Nuobu.
"There are 12 in the NGL Autonomous Region, 6 in Saint Ross, 4 in Batua, and 3 in..."
[Things are not good...] Guan Liyuan thought to himself.
