The sudden shout startled Jiang Yuan for a while. He had to confirm it several times before he realized who had shouted it! Who else could it be but Leng Yue? However, she was clearly speaking to the Queen Ant.
However, at this moment the entire nest was silent, and all the soldier ants that had come to the nest remained still.
As for the queen ant, she didn't kneel. Instead, Leng Yue couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, bleeding from her mouth and nose.
"Did it fail?" Jiang Yuan thought of the outcome when he saw Leng Yue like this. Just as he was about to forcibly take Leng Yue away, the Queen Ant emitted a sonic wave towards them.
The buzzing in his head made Jiang Yuan extremely uncomfortable, but comfort was no longer an issue; escaping was the most important thing.
"Yanlan, the plan has failed. Let's go find Little Fatty and then leave the ant nest." Jiang Yuan wasn't one to hesitate. The queen ant was clearly beyond their control, so leaving as soon as possible was the best way to minimize the damage.
"Fool, who said we failed!"
Jiang Yuan was about to leave when Leng Yue, whom he had grabbed, spoke up.
"Could it be?" Jiang Yuan used the Appraisal skill on the Queen Ant and was surprised to find the words 'pet' in the Queen Ant's status bar.
"That's it!" Leng Yue wiped the blood from her face, deliberately wiping it on Jiang Yuan's body before continuing, "Will it be difficult?"
"Big sister, this is the only concealment robe I have. If you get it dirty, you'll have to wash it!" Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and joked with Leng Yue.
"I'm willing to wash, but I'm afraid your woman won't agree!"
Leng Yue didn't go any further. After withdrawing her hand, she walked to the Queen Ant's side, and after a while, the powerful sound waves dissipated in her ears.
"Is it all done?" Ning Yanlan asked, standing at the cave entrance.
"Don't worry, it's resolved!" Jiang Yuan replied immediately.
"Have all soldier ants return to their positions!" Leng Yue patted the queen ant's body, and a revival energy landed on the wound on the sac behind her, which began to repair itself at a visible speed.
"Don't be so stingy! Collect more nutrient solution; I want to use it as fertilizer!" Jiang Yuan was immediately displeased when he saw that the queen ant wasn't dispensing nutrient solution.
"That's its life essence! You've taken almost half of it, that's enough, otherwise it won't be able to advance to the ninth rank!" Leng Yue knew Jiang Yuan's self-interest, so she patiently explained.
Jiang Yuan certainly didn't really want to kill the queen ant. A living queen ant was obviously more valuable than a bunch of nutrient solution, and he already had enough nutrient solution to carry out his first land reclamation plan for the herb garden.
"Do I look like the kind of greedy person?" Jiang Yuan chuckled awkwardly.
"Come on, I'll take you to a nice place!"
When Leng Yue moved around, the queen ant quietly lay in place, and the worker ants and soldier ants made way for her.
"Wow, she's become the ant leader in an instant!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed in admiration as he followed behind. He hadn't thought there was any benefit to subduing the queen ant before, but now he realized he had missed a golden opportunity.
This isn't just taming a queen ant, it's practically taming an entire ant army!
"Can't you speak properly? If you can't, then speak less!" Leng Yue turned around and glared at Jiang Yuan.
"You stinky Jiang Yuan, stop targeting Leng Yue! All you do all day is annoy her and nothing else!" Ning Yanlan scolded playfully.
"I don't dislike her at all, she's just a tiny ant!" Jiang Yuan said weakly, shrinking his neck.
"Men are fickle, one side is a simp and the other is a straight man! I'm already used to straight men being blunt!" Leng Yue muttered to herself.
"Forehead!"
Ning Yanlan wanted to laugh when she heard that word, but she felt it wouldn't be good to laugh out loud, so she could only nudge Jiang Yuan's waist secretly, "Did you hear that, you straight man!"
"My wife is right!" Jiang Yuan said sincerely, but then he asked curiously, "Wait, who are you calling a simp?"
"hehe!"
Leng Yue didn't want to explain, because the more she explained, the more she would embolden these two to flaunt their affection.
"Brother Yuan, you're finally back!"
The group had just turned a corner when a sudden shout made them look down at the ground.
"Little Fatty, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yuan was the first to recognize the voice; it was none other than Little Fatty. But how could he hear the voice before even seeing the person?
A piece of meteorite metal lay on the ground, and it was shaking, with Little Fatty completely crushed underneath it.
"Brother Yuan, help me out! I really can't take it anymore. If I run out of energy, those two hundred tons of meteorite will really crush me into a single-celled organism!" Little Fatty wailed dramatically, constantly pleading for help.
"Wow, you're really dedicated. Couldn't you put the meteorite plate into your storage ring?" Jiang Yuan was speechless. Space has no concept of weight, so he could have easily put the meteorite plate into his space first.
"No, I promised Leng Yue that I wouldn't put it down until I could lift this meteorite plate with my own strength!" Even as he screamed, Little Fatty didn't choose to let go.
"Damn, you're really... reckless!" Jiang Yuan could only exclaim.
"This meteorite tablet represents my unwavering pursuit of Leng Yue. If I let it go, I will be letting go of my heart in pursuing her. I can't let it go!" Little Fatty said through gritted teeth.
There's no such thing as love at first sight; it's all just feelings that develop from lust at first sight!
As someone with experience, Jiang Yuan understood Xiao Pang's thoughts very well. In terms of appearance alone, Leng Yue was even slightly better looking than Ning Yanlan, and her unique temperament could indeed make many men fantasize.
"Whatever, but we're going to the ant nest's treasure vault now. Are you planning to come along?" Leng Yue asked indifferently, without any sympathy. She just wanted to discourage Xiao Pang.
"Brother Yuan, lend a hand!" Little Fatty stretched out one hand with difficulty, wanting Jiang Yuan to help.
"Brother, why do you have to suffer like this? There are countless beautiful women in the world, don't hang yourself on one tree!" Jiang Yuan squatted down and said helplessly.
