Chapter 367 - 373: The Human-faced Ant Queen’s New Ability
Inside the camp with Fishman style.
Four high-level members of the Sea Race were discussing something.
Three of them were Fishmen, and one was a Sharkman.
Sharkmen and Fishmen look very similar, but Sharkmen are twice the size of regular Fishmen. They also have stronger Constitution, Strength, and other Attributes. So, under the same Skills and Attributes level, Sharkmen often possess more formidable strength than Fishmen.
Basha is a very famous Warrior of the Storm Tribe.
Before crossing over, he was a Quasi-Great Lord level powerhouse of the Storm Tribe.
Even though his Strength has not fully recovered, he is still a figure not to be underestimated.
At the very least.
Sharu dared not even breathe heavily in his presence.
Basha’s painstakingly built territory was recently raided by humans from Jiang City. Relying on his formidable strength and a bit of luck, he barely escaped the encirclement, and now he is quite furious.
"Sharu, I never thought that you, an unknown figure in your tribe, could survive the conflict with humans and manage this camp pretty well."
Basha had already toured the Cloud Water Town base.
The Cloud Water Town base is not entirely a subsidiary of the Cyan Dragon Group.
While providing resources to the Cyan Dragon Group, it also receives various returns, including technical, intelligence, and equipment assistance, so it was built up in a short time.
Basha seemed somewhat satisfied: "From today onward, obediently serve under me and hand over the leadership of this place to me!"
Sharu hesitated but ultimately said nothing.
Basha’s fierce gaze swept over: "Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Sharu hurriedly said, "No, I wouldn’t dare. Following a renowned Warrior like Lord Basha is something Sharu never dreamed of."
"Humph, you know your place!"
"With your kind of small fry, you wouldn’t have the qualifications to follow me in the Spirit Realm, but given the current special situation, I’ll make an exception and accept you as my subordinate."
"The Descent Race appears in the Spirit Realm once in a millennium, and the Descent Race often possesses astonishing potential and growth. As long as the Storm Tribe can make them our vassal slaves before they grow up, the Storm Tribe’s power in the Spirit Realm will certainly advance by leaps and bounds."
"You should know how rare this opportunity is. As long as we can conquer these humans and earn their loyalty and submission, even a small fry like you will have the chance to become a king or overlord in the future!"
"Don’t have any funny ideas, or else, humph!"
"Yes, yes!"
Sharu bowed his head.
The phone hidden on his body suddenly vibrated.
It was the signal agreed upon with Hang Yu; it seems they are ready to attack.
Sharu quickly said, "I suddenly remembered that I have some collections on hand. I’ll bring them to you. Please, Lord Basha, wait here for a moment."
Basha narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Sharu: "Go then!"
Sharu quickly exited the place.
"Basha, there’s something suspicious about this guy!" A high-level Fishman spoke to Basha: "His place is noticeably closer to humans but remains unscathed, while our place, farther from human towns, was attacked. It’s very suspicious."
Another high-level Fishman spoke up: "Indeed, from what I know, not only were we attacked, but several other nearby Pioneers were also besieged. What makes Sharu different that he could survive?"
"Do you suspect he’s colluding with humans?"
Basha’s eyes grew cold.
He had considered this possibility.
The humans’ attack was unusually precise.
They knew everything about Basha’s camp location and nearby Sea Race Pioneers. Reflecting on it now, it all seems too abnormal!
The Storm Tribe’s pioneering camps are all protected by the Fog Tower.
How could humans accurately locate the camps in the dense fog and precisely grasp detailed information about them? Judging from the humans’ attack, it was orderly and seemed planned in advance.
"We’re not entirely sure about that either."
"Every Pioneer has been rigorously screened."
"Loyalty to the tribe should be beyond doubt, but anything is possible, so we can’t be unprepared."
Basha had already made up his mind.
Whether or not Sharu has betrayed or sold them out.
This guy must die; only his death would put Basha’s mind at ease in taking over this place, bringing along all the Fishmen and resources, and then venturing to a more distant place to rise again.
But just as Basha was calculating the timing.
The ground around them caved in, revealing several large pits.
From the pits, swarms of Giant Black Ants crawled out swiftly.
"What’s going on?"
The three Storm Tribe Pioneers were simultaneously alarmed; there were a lot of Black Ants, at least a dozen, and each one was formidable, immediately spewing acid at the three, launching a sneak attack on several Sea Race individuals.
Could it be that bastard Sharu playing tricks?
Basha’s face darkened: "Humph, it’s just Giant Ant Monsters, nothing to worry about, quickly kill them!"
Two high-level Fishmen acted immediately.
The dozen or so Giant Ants were not weak, each had the strength close to a level 10 Silver Elite, so at first, there was some chaos, but the Giant Ants alone couldn’t threaten the three Storm Tribe Pioneers!
Various Skills were continuously unleashed.
One after another, Black Giant Ants were eliminated.
However, these black Worker Ants were not the end; soon, a Giant Ant King, entirely golden-colored and more menacing, along with three Guardian Ants covered in dark golden patterns, rushed out of the earth.
The Guardian Ants had strength close to level 10 Golden Elite!
The Golden Ant King’s strength likely matched a level 10 Bronze Lord!
So many large ants appearing simultaneously in a confined space, they were clearly highly purposeful, specifically targeting Basha’s group.
"These aren’t ordinary Monsters!"
"Someone is controlling them from the shadows!"
Basha was now sure someone wanted him and his two companions dead.
This is Sharu’s turf, surrounded by Sharu’s Fishmen; how could ordinary people approach this close without making a sound? So, it’s highly likely that Sharu set this trap himself!
Basha shouted angrily: "Sharu, I had planned to let you live a few more days, but it seems you can’t wait to die!"
A few dozen Giant Ants are just that.
Even if the leading Ant King was a level 10 Bronze Lord, so what?
Even though Basha hadn’t fully recovered his peak strength, he at least had level 13 strength and existed at the Quasi-Overlord level. The Celestial Net mobilized so many experts and powerful weapons but failed to kill him.
How could these ants threaten him?
Is it possible?
If this was Sharu’s tactic.
Then it’s an insult to Basha!
As for Sharu’s forces? Basha wasn’t worried either!
The lower-ranked Storm Tribe Fishmen wouldn’t dare attack Basha, an Upper-level person, plus there were still over a thousand of Basha’s remnants in this base.
Exterminating Sharu.
Would be a piece of cake!
Just as Basha was about to unleash a massacre on the nearby large ants, something unexpected happened; these large ants, after surrounding him, didn’t continue their attack. Instead, each one started to emit light.
A high-level Fishman gasped in shock: "What are they doing?"
Basha’s expression changed: "This is bad! They’re going to self-destruct! Move out, quickly!"
Boom!
Amidst the loud explosion.
Hang Yu and Xu Tianhua, standing outside, clearly saw the scene. A series of shockwaves and flames infused with powerful Spiritual Energy instantly ripped apart and shattered the walls stronger than reinforced concrete, creating a massive crater.
Xu Tianhua and several Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau agents were stunned.
He glanced at Hang Yu: "How was this done?"
Given the explosion’s effect, range, and power.
This impact far surpassed the Earth Dragon Wave.
"Stay calm!"
Hang Yu, with arms folded and a calm expression, stood as a Giant Ant with a human face and wings flew above, enveloped in a strong aura.
That’s right.
The Giant Ant had already reached level 10!
Not long ago, it successfully completed its Advancement.
Now, the Human-faced Ant Queen, like Er Gou, is a Lord-level Spirit Pet!
After advancing into a Lord Monster, the Human-faced Ant Queen’s summoned Giant Ants were fully Enhanced; the ordinary Monster power-level red Worker Ants now had Quasi-Elite level strength.
The soldier ants, guardian ants, and even the Ant King were half a rank stronger.
They respectively possessed strengths close to Silver Elite, Golden Elite, and Bronze Lord levels, with more Skills, stronger Attributes, and incomparable Combat Power. The Human-faced Ant Queen’s overall combat power was definitely above Er Gou!
The Human-faced Ant Queen also gained a new skill during this Evolution: "Self-destruct Giant Ants!"
It could use its Spiritual Power to directly detonate the controlled Giant Ants.
Each Giant Ant could be used as a remote-controlled bomb; the higher the Rank, the stronger the explosion.
With this wave of explosions.
Even a Lord-level Monster would likely meet its end!
After all, the Human-faced Ant Queen simultaneously detonated over a dozen Giant Ants, including an Ant King close to Lord-level strength!
