The attack was imminent. Under Ning Yanlan's command, the group made their move when the patrolling soldier ants parted ways.
"Tenfold stealth assassination!"
"Lightning Mark, Dark Strike!"
There were two beams of light. The slow-witted worker ants did not realize that the sudden light was coming from the queen ant attacking them. It was only when the fleshy ball dragged by the queen ant exploded and created a huge crack that the worker ants finally came to their senses.
"That's not enough. Let it really feel the pinch!"
"Energy Focus - Spirit Bomb!"
With divine energy gathered in his hand, Jiang Yuan fired five energy blasts at the ant queen's wound in succession. The ant queen's flesh ball dented at a visible speed, and the skin in various places looked as if it was about to explode.
The queen ant wriggled her plump body, waking it up again. But this time, the queen ant frantically spread a super-frequency sound wave throughout the ant nest. The sound wave, which was so powerful that it could almost shatter a person's internal organs and brain, severely affected Jiang Yuan and the others.
"Little Fatty, hurry up and use the Beast Taming Talisman!"
Jiang Yuan panicked. He hadn't expected the Queen Ant to have such a method. The vibration frequency of his internal organs had gone astray under the influence of the sound waves, which meant that these sound waves could very well shatter them with the power of resonance.
"Earth War Song!" Little Fatty roared, gripping the Beast Taming Talisman tightly.
Because he was at the lowest level, he was most affected, so he had to activate Earth War Song to interfere with the Queen Ant's sonic waves.
However, the effect was significant; the sound waves were disrupted within a small area, but not to the point of being life-threatening.
"Quick! The soldier ants are on their way!" Ning Yanlan's voice echoed in their minds.
"Little Fatty, hurry up!"
Urged on, Little Fatty erupted, his will enveloping the Queen Ant, and the Beast Taming Talisman was radiating a solemn light.
"It worked!" Jiang Yuan was delighted to see the queen ant's appearance.
This attack caused the queen ant to lose two-tenths of her nutrient solution, and the rate is still rising.
"Ten seconds left!" Ning Yanlan, acting as an off-field assistant, kept calling out the time.
"Ahh!"
Suddenly, the chubby boy clutched his head and cried out in pain.
"What's going on?" Leng Yue moved her right foot forward, her first thought was to interrupt him.
"The queen ant is retaliating against Little Fatty; she wants to control him!" Jiang Yuan saw through the situation but didn't make a move.
Taming beasts is inherently dangerous, but it's relatively easy now because they've seized the initiative. With the Beast Taming Talisman, Little Fatty is already in an invincible position! However, while invincibility is easy, victory is difficult!
Five seconds!
Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and Little Fatty still hadn't made any progress; he just squatted on the ground, clutching his head and wailing.
"Too weak-willed!" Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
"Modern college students are used to a life where everything is done for them. We're better at things that involve risking our lives!" Leng Yue didn't know if she was speaking to Xiao Pang or Jiang Yuan, but after saying that, she helped Xiao Pang up. "Let's go, we failed!"
"Walk!"
Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan swapped an empty storage ring for one and threw it into the pit, then took Little Fatty and ran out.
"This way!" Ning Yanlan had already planned her escape route, and after seeing the group, she found her direction and started running.
"Sister Leng, I'm so sorry!"
The chubby little boy, still half asleep, started apologizing. He never expected this to happen; instead of enslaving the queen ant, he almost ended up being enslaved by her.
"A strong will needs to be cultivated from all aspects. Don't think that you can get carried away just because you've participated in a few beast tides!" Leng Yue, as someone who had been through it all, reprimanded Little Fatty in a mature tone.
"Sister Leng is right! But there's one thing you've really misunderstood. You should ask Brother Yuan whether college life is good or not. Back in the day, my two brothers and I survived on five yuan worth of steamed buns for a week! Putting everything else aside, our will to endure hunger was absolutely top-notch!" Little Fatty was talking nonsense like he was drunk.
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" Jiang Yuan was speechless. He hadn't expected the queen ant to be so fierce, able to subdue Little Fatty to this extent. He regretted not activating attribute suppression, otherwise the situation would have been much better.
"Jiang Yuan, your brother is asking you how your university life is!" Leng Yue had the leisure to turn back and ask Jiang Yuan a question while she was running away.
"Which job?"
Jiang Yuan asked in a serious tone.
"My brother Yuan is a wolf in sheep's clothing, his mouth is full of wild and rabid words!" Little Fatty said with a smile.
"Disgusting!" Leng Yue slapped the chubby boy.
Little Fatty said with a wronged look, "That's what Brother Yuan said, what does it have to do with me!"
"Alright, quiet down. It's better to transmit sound underground. Our voices will be easily detected by the ant colony!" Jiang Yuan told the two to be quiet.
They all knew the gravity of the situation, so they stopped chatting and focused on making their escape.
In a secluded corner, four people sat scattered against the wall.
"Let's summarize the lessons learned from our failure!" Jiang Yuan glanced at Little Fatty, signaling him to make a summary.
"Forehead!"
Knowing Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue's ruthlessness, Xiao Pang turned to Ning Yanlan pitifully and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm already so pitiful, can we not write a self-criticism? This is what I used to be most afraid of!"
"Seriously!" Leng Yue was practically ready to kick this guy in the face.
Ning Yanlan could only smile helplessly.
"Alright, I underestimated the power of the queen ant! The moment I came into contact with the queen ant's will, it was as if I saw a noble emperor, and I even felt a sense of worship in my heart!" Little Fatty had no choice but to start reflecting on the reasons for the failure of this operation.
"And there's more!"
This wasn't the answer Jiang Yuan and his group wanted, because they already knew it themselves.
Little Fatty took a deep breath and said solemnly, "My willpower is too weak. If I can withstand the pressure of the king's aura, it might submit to me!"
"I'd like to add something: given Tang Yingjun's erratic performance this time, I think it's necessary to develop a training plan for him!"
After Leng Yue finished speaking, she stared at Xiao Pang.
"What plan?" Little Fatty felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed like they were about to do their own thing.
“I’ve seen a type of cosmic metal called meteorite gold before. Its density is three hundred times that of iron!” Leng Yue said slowly and deliberately.
"Sister Leng is so knowledgeable, she even knows about things like this!" Little Fatty greeted her with a smile.
"You've misunderstood!" Leng Yue clapped her hands, touched her storage ring, and a metal block the size of a door appeared in front of her. The ground around her visibly sank a few centimeters when the metal block appeared. She smiled faintly and said, "Not only have I seen it before, but I also brought the meteorite gold with me!"
"Oh, well, it's good, it's good!" Little Fatty said awkwardly, he had a bad feeling.
"Then I'll be blunt. I've seen your shield, and it's terrible! As a shield warrior, not only do you have to be able to withstand everything, but your shield also has to withstand everything. So this piece of meteorite gold!" Leng Yue pointed at the object on the ground and mocked mercilessly.
"No way, this thing is going to be my shield?" If Little Fatty didn't understand at this point, then he wouldn't need to use his brain.
"Furthermore, from now on, you cannot put the shield away. Except in life-or-death escapes, you must hold it up at all times!" Leng Yue's eyes were filled with disdain.
"I can't get it up!"
