Gold-eating Ant Queen, Tier 3 magical beast.
Through her past life's memories, Lu Shi clearly understood that the Queen Gold-Eating Ant herself had no fighting ability.
However, due to the nourishment and protection of countless Tier 1 Gold-Eating Ants, it is a Tier 3 magical beast that should not be easily provoked.
But this time, the situation is different.
The students in Class 1 of Grade 1 must have wanted those things too, which is why they actively provoked the gold-eating ants.
Coincidentally, Lu Shi also wanted those things.
After all, lightning-type magical artifact materials are very attractive to Lu Shi, who possesses lightning attributes.
Gold-eating ants feed on metals, and ordinary metals are directly digested. However, they are naturally resistant to lightning and dislike metals containing lightning magic. They will only absorb the impurities and expel the essence of lightning magic from the metal.
These metals, after being purified and refined by the gold-eating ants, accumulate to become top-quality materials for lightning-type magical artifacts.
Judging from the size of this ant mound, it must have accumulated a considerable amount of lightning essence.
I believe that the two boys and girls from Class 1 intended to push their way into the lair and seize the lightning-type purification.
However, Lu Shi is now at a better price.
She sprinted downhill at top speed for nearly 100 meters.
Along the way, the gold-eating ants were scattered here and there. It seems that as the battle outside the anthill intensifies, more gold-eating ants are swarming out of the anthill to join the fight.
After eliminating two more gold-eating ant queens, the monster's soul weight reached 213G.
Lightning is not very effective here, so just in case, Lu Shi did not hesitate to add some enhancements to Wind and Shadow.

...
Well, it's true what they say, you earn money fast, but you spend it fast too.
Furthermore, the amount of monster souls required to upgrade intermediate magic skills has increased significantly.
Sigh, the weight of souls, whether human or monster, is never enough!
Without further thought, Lu Shi increased the speed of the wind track, becoming a blur, and appeared in the center of the ant mound in just a few minutes.
This is a large area, the core of the ant colony, the queen ant's home.
It is surrounded by densely packed egg chambers, larval chambers, and pupal chambers, each room is well-organized and full of vitality.
There were only a few gold-eating ants moving around, as most had obviously gone out to fight, making the place look a bit deserted.
However, Lu Shi was still somewhat shocked when she looked at the huge, nearly three-meter-tall creature in the center.
Wow, the queen gold-eating ant is huge!
She sat comfortably on a specially made throne, crafted from the most durable material, strong enough to support her enormous body.
The queen ant's body gleams with a unique white luster, adding a touch of glory and nobility to its ugly appearance.
Her antennae trembled slightly, as if she were silently communicating with the dozen or so gold-eating soldier ants surrounding her.
Compared to their counterparts outside, those dozen or so gold-eating soldier ants were larger and more robust, giving off an air of arrogance. Their heads, in particular, were enormous and as hard as iron, with a pair of sharp mandibles on their foreheads that seemed to be blades made specifically for battle.
Gold-eating soldier ants, a Tier 2 magical beast.
After loosening her wrists, Lu Shi prepared to finish quickly, as she still needed to collect the essence of lightning-type metals afterward.
Lu Shi wasn't the only one who wanted a quick victory; the soldier ants, sharing the same idea, also spread their wings and mandibles, swooping down towards Lu Shi.
Using the flapping wings on their backs, the soldier ants glided through the air towards Lu Shi, much faster than when attacking from the ground.
"Good timing."
Lu Shi traced star trails, then followed wind trails, with cyan light surging beneath his feet as his body retreated like a gentle breeze.
At the same time, he pushed his hands forward, palms towards the two soldier ants flying in the front.
A dragon-shaped flame flew out from his right hand, and a burning phoenix flew out from his left.
The dragon-shaped flame opened its mouth and swallowed a soldier ant whole, turning it into a ball of flame.
Phoenix Flame spread its wings and wrapped its body around another soldier ant.
In the blink of an eye, the two soldier ants turned into two balls of fire, fell from the sky, and burned on the ground, emitting a foul, burnt smell.
The other soldier ants showed no fear and continued to flap their wings, flying towards Lu Shi. The fastest one's mandibles seemed about to touch Lu Shi's palm.
"court death."
[Shadow Spike Triple Shot]
Three nails, formed from dark magic, struck the wings of the flying soldier ants with tremendous force.
Three soldier ants had one wing broken off and fell from the sky.
At the same time, Lu Shi continued to unleash the Dragon and Phoenix Flames, once again burning the two soldier ants into a pile of charcoal.
Seeing the guard ants dying one after another, the queen ant on the throne became restless, and her antennae began to twitch.
An invisible wave crashed towards Lu Shi.
[Spiritual Impact]
It hit Lu Shi directly in the forehead.
Lu Shi was very familiar with this skill; it was her essential starting move for killing and absorbing souls.
Who would have thought that after hunting geese all day long, he would end up having his eyes pecked by one?
They were actually ambushed by a fat and ugly queen ant.
Lu Shi felt a sharp pain in her head and couldn't help but clutch her head and cry out in pain.
Seeing this opportunity, the remaining four soldier ants rushed forward without hesitation. The soldier ant at the front opened and closed its mandibles, trying to crush Lu Shi's body.
"Damn it, I'm not afraid of pain." Lu Shi's eyes were bloodshot, and her expression was somewhat crazed, but she still maintained some clarity.
The repeated transformations of soul weight and the continuous, painful training have finally yielded results today.
Despite the splitting headache, Lu Shi traced star trails with her right hand.
【Soul Purification】
Comfortable.
Then, Lu Shi's body disappeared from the spot.
Shadow Escape
Then, Lu Shi's body slowly appeared in the shadows beneath the giant throne in front of the ant queen.
Looking at the tall, plump queen ant sitting in front of her, Lu Shi revealed a cruel smile.
You think you can have a psychological impact?
Come on, give it a try.
A white star trail streaked across the sky, and the same invisible shockwave hurtled toward the queen ant's head.
Hit.
The queen ant's massive body began to tremble, her antennae twitched irregularly, and she emitted a low, piercing, and sharp sound.
The sound made the remaining soldier ants even more panicked, and they rushed towards Lu Shi even faster, desperately trying to protect the queen ant.
Facing the four soldier ants charging towards him, Lu Shi once again revealed a cruel smile.
With a wave of his hands, he conjured a dragon and a phoenix, burning the two soldier ants to ashes.
Just as he raised his hand, preparing to use Shadow Spikes to control the last two soldier ants and finish them off.
The queen ant behind Lu Shi regained a glimmer of clarity in her small eyes, which then emitted a chilling light. Her antennae turned, and an invisible wave once again enveloped Lu Shi.
Instantly, Lu Shi felt as if she had been frozen in place, completely unable to move.
She frantically waved her hands, trying to draw skills, but couldn't release any skills; all seven elements seemed to be sealed.
He could only watch helplessly as two soldier ants lunged at him, their sharp mandibles piercing his eyes, getting closer and closer.
Lu Shi closed her eyes helplessly, awaiting death.
...
"Teacher Lu, wake up."
A pleasant female voice rang in my ears.
Lu Shi opened her eyes involuntarily, and what she saw was a white ceiling and a fluorescent light. This light was completely different from the one in the magical world.
This...this uses electricity!
Lu Shi turned her head and saw a little girl shaking her hand and crying.
"Lili".
They were colleagues, and also teachers at a training school in my past life.
"Teacher Lu, we finally saved you." Lili's voice was choked with tears. "So what if I'm fired? What's the big deal? Give me enough compensation, I'll just find another job."
Lili kept nagging and comforting her.
Lu Shi turned to look at the television on the wall of the ward, which was showing the latest news.
This is a news report about two countries that are at war.
Watching the missile fly away, from the drone's perspective, it all clearly shows...
This is the technological world of the past.
So……
Was the magical world just a dream Lu Shi had before she died?
