Chapter 1156 - 41: Ants
The Ant King flicked its tail, blood splattering from the tip, leaving it puzzled. Why hadn’t that woman died?
"Fifty Style."
The Chairman formed a heart shape with his hands in front of his chest and suddenly thrust them forward.
Bang!
A Nen Bomb shot out from the palm of the Hundred-style sculpture, heading straight for the Ant King.
The Ant King slightly shifted its steps, easily dodging the Nen Bomb.
"Such a peculiar feeling, so... fighting is an interesting thing."
The Ant King smiled, a smile that was simple yet brutally cruel. Yes, Mosaic ants are inherently brutal creatures. Regardless of individual thoughts, they ultimately evolve in two directions: one is to seize territory, the other is to reproduce extensively.
The day the Ant King was born, it eradicated the Royal Family of East Guotuo and occupied the Royal Palace, a manifestation of its territorial instinct.
To the Ant King, fighting with humans was merely one-sided slaughter. It had hunted twice; once smashing a child’s head with its tail. To the Ant King, the child’s flesh was decent, barely edible.
The second hunt was of a psychic User, a delicious special human that the Ant King could never forget.
The Ant King dodged Netero’s attack, but Netero’s expression was grim as he realized the Ant King’s learning ability was more horrifying than expected.
"You all..."
The Ant King glanced around the crowd.
"Are the strongest humans in this world, right? If there are stronger humans, I might consider narrowing down the territory."
From beginning to end, the Ant King never regarded Su Xiao and the others as capable of doing anything to it. It remained on the Passive Defense because it wanted to learn Netero’s combat techniques.
"Pathetic ants."
Netero’s face bulged with blue veins in anger at the Ant King’s arrogance—only a few days old, yet already planning the future of humans?
"Ant King, you’re strong, no doubt about it."
Mizaki walked out of the Smoke Formation, slowly approaching the Ant King.
"Unfortunately, you’re just a frog in a well now. Are we the strongest humans? This ’world’ is bigger than you imagine. At least in my place of survival, I’ve never dared call myself strong, and you... are just one of the ants among them."
Mizaki stomped on the ground, rushing straight to the Ant King at a speed too quick for it to react.
"Saki!"
Mizaki growled, and the healed wound on the Ant King’s shoulder suddenly burst open, sending blue blood splashing high.
"Chi!"
With a crack, the wound on the Ant King’s shoulder expanded, as Mizaki’s hand pressed onto its chest.
"Liang!"
Mizaki’s hand pressed on the Ant King’s chest.
"Liang..."
A shadow flashed, and with a crack, Mizaki’s left arm and a large portion of her torso were shattered, as a blue hand reached for her face.
"Shit!"
Hearing Mizaki’s last low roar, Old Smoke was stunned for a moment; Mizaki should have shouted "Er" instead. What the hell is "S|hit"?
Old Smoke didn’t know Mizaki’s technique had been interrupted. To complete it, Mizaki endured the pain of death twice.
Mizaki was hit hard, but Old Smoke couldn’t save her because she had already rushed out of the Smoke Formation, although Old Smoke’s support was swift.
"Er!"
In mid-air, Mizaki shouted the last word as Smoke swept in, the Ant King’s hand grabbed at the air, only catching a wisp of blue smoke.
"The Ant King’s resistance to abnormalities is too high, at most 0.3 seconds."
Mizaki’s voice transmitted through the wireless earpiece. She took the risk of approaching the Ant King under pressure; everyone present had contributed, and if she didn’t do something, she might get sold out in the upcoming battle.
After the Ant King’s hand grasped at the air, its body leaked a transparent liquid, making it noticeably thirsty.
The transparent liquid oozing from the Ant King’s body was actually its body moisture, which immediately formed a Water Snake entwining it.
Three hundred meters away, Chen’s body was slightly trembling, holding a Thunder Lightning Spear he had been storing up, consuming a third of his Mana Value.
Chen spread his legs, aimed at the Ant King, and lightly tossed the Thunder Spear.
Buzz!!
A piercing buzzing sound emerged as the Thunder Spear accelerated, transforming into a blue-white shadow heading towards the Ant King.
At the same time, on the Watchtower 800 meters away, Su Xiao aimed the Crosshair at the Ant King’s head and pulled the trigger.
Boom!
The entire Watchtower trembled, revealing dense cracks in the concrete layer. A few more shots, and the recoil of the Duke of Extinction would shatter the Watchtower.
As Chen threw the Thunder Spear and Su Xiao pulled the trigger, the Water Snake had just entwined the Ant King.
The Ant King’s body exerted, shattering the Water Snake, albeit briefly, impacting its movement.
Just as it broke free from the Water Snake, the Ant King’s pupils narrowed as a blinding beam struck.
With a crack, the Thunder Spear pierced into the Ant King’s chest, engulfing it in lightning instantly.
Bang!
The Ant King felt something hit its skull, hearing a buzz in its ears, its body leaning uncontrollably to the side.
The Duke of Extinction’s bullet struck its head, causing it to fall headfirst to the ground, its legs pointing skyward obliquely.
Crash.
Lightning and smoke shrouded the Ant King, and the next moment, a mass of dark purple Nen emerged from within, dispersing the smoke.
Blood-red eyes appeared, revealing the Ant King was no longer composed. Its chest bore a finger-sized hole, scorched black around.
The Ant King’s head was worse off, its dome shell half lifted, a third of the area blown away, and the rest covered in cracks.
"Huff, huff..."
The Ant King’s breathing was heavy, blue blood flowing down its cheeks.
Before taking these two hits, the Ant King deemed the humans around unimpressive; some attacks couldn’t even harm it, with only the old man being troublesome due to his swift attacks; Mizaki and Old Smoke were seen as trash.
Now, the Ant King realized its judgment was wrong; these few nearby were merely distractions; the real threat came from afar.
"Really tough."
Mizaki coldly gazed at the battered Ant King, although her left side was half-shattered; luckily, the wound was frozen, and she occasionally flashed with a milky white light, as the hidden Healer tended to her.
Moreover, those close to the Ant King, Mizaki and Old Smoke, were benefiting from several Buff States.
Mizaki hesitated a brief moment, deciding not to use her trump card; fighting the Ant King was just the First Stage, with the heart and Treasure chest to seize later.
As for the Treasure chest the Ant King might drop, Mizaki wasn’t particularly coveting it; Chairman Netero’s involvement was unavoidable, and compared to the potential Treasure chest, the heart was more valuable.
The Duke of Extinction’s gun emitted wisps of blue smoke as Su Xiao pulled the bolt, ejecting an empty shell, loading a fresh Armor-piercing Bullet.
"Old Smoke, it’s your turn."
Mizaki’s shout made Old Smoke’s cheek twitch.
"Even in dying, she’s dragging me down too. Bai Ye, Chen, given the Ant King’s resistance, I can probably control him for 0.5 seconds; let’s hammer it half to death this round."
Old Smoke tugged at his collar, leisurely charging towards the Ant King. Old Smoke and Mizaki might seem exerting, but they were actually holding back.
