Besides the queen ant, Jiang Yuan also saw Little Fatty.
Four cave ants were carrying the unconscious Little Fatty in a long line, just like they were carrying a sedan chair. Jiang Yuan was stunned when he saw the line, because it was the line for feeding the queen ant.
Little Fatty was ranked thirteenth, while the twelve 'foods' ahead of him were all monster corpses.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan roughly understood why the ant nest here had such great strength. It was for no other reason than to profit from the war. These dead monsters had more or less a few bullet holes in their bodies. Weren't these the monsters that the beast tide had killed by Nancheng with firearms?
And now these dead monsters have appeared here, which is obviously brought here by these cave ants.
"With such a massive beast tide, countless monsters must die every day, and now they've all become food for this queen ant. No wonder she was able to advance to the ninth rank in just over ten days!" Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that the queen ant's transformation would naturally make her ant colony stronger.
However, Jiang Yuan is now in a dilemma. He thought there was only one queen ant here, but after entering, he found that the worker ants feeding the queen ant were all sixth-tier elite monsters. Their strength can no longer be described as abnormal.
"here!"
Suddenly, a beam of light flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes and then disappeared, but Jiang Yuan could see the source of the light clearly: Leng Yue was quietly lurking there.
Strangely, none of the cave ants could see her.
Jiang Yuan approached using the Concealing Breath Technique, but before he could ask any questions, Leng Yue said, "Don't worry, these cave ants have limited eyesight and rely mostly on their sense of smell. As long as the smell isn't too strong, they'll ignore you!"
"What's wrong with Little Fatty?" Jiang Yuan wasn't worried. Little Fatty was still in thirteenth place. Given the Queen Ant's slow eating speed, it wouldn't be his turn for at least half an hour.
"You're the one who sent him to bother me, aren't you?" Leng Yue's voice was soft but full of threat.
"What did he do to you?" Jiang Yuan asked while gathering information about the queen ant.
Tianyan Identification
Cave Ant Queen, Ninth-Order Emperor (Three-Wheel), Soul Energy System: Zero (Sleeping State), Advanced Talent: Born Emperor.
Born Emperor: Can intimidate fellow clansmen; the strength of this intimidation depends on the concentration of bloodline.
While Jiang Yuan was shocked by the information he had obtained, Leng Yue also explained why Xiao Pang had been captured and brought here.
After Xiaopang caught up with Lengyue, he started trying to find topics to talk about, but Lengyue was focused on finding the military base from her memories and ignored him. As a result, Xiaopang discovered the cave entrance and thought it was the military base. He then thought he would give me a surprise after he found it!
"That's how it is!" Leng Yue pouted and glanced at the unconscious chubby boy, then added, "That guy wasn't unconscious, he was faking it!"
"Pretending?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.
"Yes, because the worker ants here only feed the queen dead. If he doesn't play dead, the worker ants will tear him apart immediately!"
Leng Yue said calmly, and continued, "Moreover, the queen ant is asleep, which is why we haven't continued to communicate using the soul rings!"
Jiang Yuan looked at the trembling worker ants and realized, "Could it be that these worker ants have such poor senses because they are influenced by the queen ant?"
That innate emperor's talent likely suppressed the vast majority of worker ants.
"I don't know!" Leng Yue shook her head, glancing back a few times. "Didn't Ning Yanlan come?"
"She's waiting for us outside!"
"How do we save that chubby kid!" Leng Yue waited patiently.
"I originally planned to just grab it and run! But now I've changed my mind!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"What plan?" Leng Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Yuan.
Look at this!
Jiang Yuan handed over a jade slip.
Stop keeping me in suspense!
"Beast Taming Talisman, has a chance to subdue a spirit beast that has no power to resist!" Jiang Yuan revealed the origin of the jade slip. It was an item he had just obtained from a seventh-tier Radiant Gold Core. He had glanced at the Beast Taming Talisman while searching for treasure, but he didn't expect it to be useful until the appearance of the Queen Ant.
"There's a chance? And it has to be a spirit beast that can't resist. Are you sure this ant queen can do it?" Leng Yue's disbelief was written all over her face. This was a ninth-tier ant queen, whose strength was not to be underestimated.
"So, we need to test the queen ant's strength first!" Jiang Yuan's smile held a hint of malice.
The two began to wait for the best opportunity to strike. Although the queen ant was eating all the time, Jiang Yuan used his Heavenly Eye to detect useful information. When the queen ant's energy accumulated to a certain level, it would enter a short digestion period. During this period, all the worker ants would curl up in a ball and wait in place. This time was the best time to strike.
The ninth ant, the tenth ant, and it looks like we're almost at the thirteenth ant, but the queen ant still hasn't started digesting.
"Are you sure it will stop eating?" Leng Yue looked at the mountain of flesh in front of her with a slightly doubtful look. She felt that an ant queen that was so fat didn't need any digestion. Eating was its greatest pursuit in life!
"Wait a little longer. If the twelfth ant hasn't entered the digestion period yet, then we'll make our move!" Jiang Yuan was also very anxious, but the information detected by the Heavenly Eye showed that the queen ant's energy was at its peak.
These monster corpses were all carried down from the beast tide. Many of them were fourth or fifth tier monsters. Even an ant queen couldn't withstand eating dozens of them.
The eleventh one still didn't react!
Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan were ready to make their move. Even the chubby guy who was pretending to be dead became nervous, but he didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing the worker ants and queen ants under him. Moreover, the chubby guy was also a man of his own mind. He planned to launch a counterattack the moment the queen ant ate him.
