Chapter Sixty-Three: Centipede Ants



Looking at the thing peeking out, for some reason, a passage from a science book from a hundred years ago came to Longyue's mind: This is an animal belonging to the phylum Arthropoda, class Insecta, order Hymenoptera, family Antidae. It goes through several stages, from egg to larva to pupa, before it can develop into an adult. It is a holometabolous insect.

Behind its antennae on its head, a pair of bright, black eyes, like black beans, were scattered across the snow, giving one goosebumps.

Longyue stiffened, carefully moved her leg back, and turned her head to look behind her. It was still a patch of black beans.

Hazy Moon:......

Is this the Level 6 virtual battlefield?

You're kidding me!

In this area alone, there are at least a couple hundred, a couple hundred G-class monsters. What are they trying to do? Are they trying to kill us?

Immediately afterwards, the snow began to shake, and a grayish-white figure jumped out of the snow. It was not big, only about 30 centimeters long, about the height of its calves.

A grayish-white body, but with more than a dozen legs...

This is a G-class monster, the Centipede Ant. A single one doesn't have much attack power, but a group of them, just like the Bumblebee, can devour a person, leaving not even bones behind.

However, this is just a virtual battlefield, so naturally there won't be any bones left. But the pain is real. To allow warriors to better experience the cruelty of the battlefield, all sensations are based on actually fighting monsters.

Therefore, if warriors are torn apart by monsters in a virtual battlefield, they will truly feel the pain of death. It is just unknown whether this will leave a shadow on the warriors.

Those martial artists who are truly left with a lasting trauma and cannot move on are those who are not suited for the battlefield.

Since we've entered the battlefield, where life and death are unpredictable, we must be prepared to die.

The centipede's body is grayish-white. It is said that it was not originally this color, but should have been brown. However, due to the influence of the spiritual energy revival, it turned into this color.

The centipede has fully awakened; the rest of the time will be for monster hunting.

Fortunately, during her seclusion, Longyue mastered a human-level movement technique, which was just enough to deal with the large number of centipedes.

With a single stroke, half of the centipede's body was severed, and the centipede vanished instantly.

Longyue walked among the ant colony, reaping the lives of the centipedes one by one with her knife. Her seemingly slow movements covered two meters in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the number of centipedes had not decreased at all, Longyue swept the Canglan Blade along a strange trajectory before slashing out with a single blow.

A huge blade mark appeared in the snow ahead, and all the centipedes that were near the mark disappeared.

Longyue continued to slay the monsters, but she discovered that no matter how many centipedes she killed, their numbers did not decrease at all; they remained a dense, endless swarm.

Several times, I almost got bitten on the skin by the mouthparts of the millipede ants.

Millipedes have a substance on their mouthparts that can paralyze the skin. Once bitten, the victim will experience short-term local paralysis, which can be fatal in combat.

Catching her breath, Longyue's eyes searched her surroundings for something.

Since the number of centipedes has not decreased despite the deaths, there must be something around that is constantly increasing the number of centipedes. And this thing can only be related to centipedes, so it can only be the centipede queen.

The queen ant is larger than a typical millipede. If the queen ant is located, the number of millipedes will stop increasing.

While dealing with the endless swarms of centipedes, Oborozuki looked around intently.

Finally, we found it in a place where it wouldn't be easily seen. Compared to ordinary millipedes, the queen ant was two to three times larger.

And they're chubby and fair-skinned!

Several millipedes were guarding in front of me, and a round white ball kept being produced from the queen ant's lower body, which then turned into a millipede in less than three seconds.

Then another white ball was produced from the queen ant's body, which turned into a millipede ant.

Witnessing all this, Oborozuki couldn't help but exclaim, "The output is really high!"

Now that we've identified the problem, all we need to do is eliminate the queen ant.

Therefore, Longyue drew her sword and fought her way through the centipedes to the queen. The queen was moving while laying white balls, and without moving her mouth, she was emitting a certain frequency that commanded the surrounding centipedes to block her way.

But once Oborozuki unleashed her ultimate move, no amount of centipede ants could stop her. Oborozuki stood in front of the centipede queen and chopped off its head with a single strike.

Then all the millipedes disappeared.

Hazy Moon:! ! !

Emerging from the virtual battlefield, Longyue's face was a little pale. She was exhausted; all that effort had been for nothing, only to be told in the end that all she needed to do was kill that one...

I passed the Level 6 martial artist assessment smoothly. This virtual battlefield was indeed different from the training, but that's good too. Although the difficulty has increased, it also makes the martial artist safer.

The fact that Oborozuki passed the test spurred on those martial artists who had not.

"Can anyone tell me how she did it?"

"I want to know, what kind of monster did she encounter? And why did she manage to get through it?"

Despite their doubts, no one asked Oborozuki, because her appearance was too deceptive.

"Little sister, wait a minute, can you tell me how you got through the virtual battlefield?" A tall woman with a pursed-lip smile stepped forward from the crowd. Her upturned eyebrows and eyes carried a hint of arrogance. I wonder which family's daughter she was?

"Sister, you don't mean anything by it, you just want to ask on behalf of everyone. A lot of people didn't pass the Level 6 exam this time, so you want to know why?"

Longyue remained silent and did not speak.

"What's wrong? Is your question difficult to answer, sister?" The tall woman raised her voice when she saw that Longyue didn't speak.

"Sigh, since little sister doesn't want to talk about it, then let's not talk about it. It's a wonder you're second in the Level 5 Battlefield, and you can't even help everyone with such a small favor?"

The tall woman seemed to sigh, a look of disappointment on her face.

"Yes, little sister, please teach us!"

"Little sister..."

In an instant, Longyue was surrounded by the voices of the martial artists.

"Hey, you guys are going too far! It's their business if she's done it, what's it to you?" A young man glared at the tall woman and shouted at the martial artists.

"Do you think you're so nosy just because you live by the sea? They passed the test based on their own abilities. What's it to you? If you don't work hard, you won't pass the test. Aren't they taking the same test as you?"

The boy's face showed anger.

Hazy Moon:? ? ?

Huang Bai and his family walked over and shielded Longyue behind them, watching the martial artists in front of them warily as the atmosphere became awkward.
