"Great harvest!"
Liu You'er thought contentedly, now only the Queen Ant remained, and she wondered what the Queen Ant would evolve into.
Now that Liu You'er knew the way, and these ants seemed to really dislike the smell of rubber, they avoided her as soon as she was within half a meter of them. Therefore, she moved quickly and reached the entrance of the Queen Ant's cave in less than two minutes. However, she saw a large figure completely surrounded by ants moving slowly, resembling Scarface. She quietly asked, "Are you Scarface?"
After Scarface saw the Queen Ant start laying eggs, the Worker Ants no longer paid attention to him. They instantly formed a protective circle around the Queen Ant until she finished laying her eggs. Only then did the four Worker Ants begin to carry the eggs away, leaving behind a three-meter-tall ant standing guard. The Queen Ant appeared exhausted after laying her eggs, not even moving her antennae. After nearly ten minutes, Scarface could no longer hold back and stealthily took a step toward the entrance. He noticed that the large ant merely turned its head in his direction but did not move, which made him overjoyed. He immediately dashed out of the cave, only to be surrounded by a swarm of ants.
His Ability was also metalization, so these "small" ants couldn't break through his defenses. However, it was difficult for him to escape in this situation, so death was merely a matter of time for him. Suddenly, he heard Liu You'er's calm voice, which sounded like heavenly music to him at that moment.
"Yes! It's me! Please save me! I'm begging you!"
Although Liu You'er could tell from Scarface's urgent yet strong voice that he was still okay, she asked, "How much longer can you hold on?"
Scarface momentarily lost his train of thought upon hearing this question, unsure if she intended to save him or not.
"Is she afraid I might hold her back?" Thinking this, Scarface gritted his teeth and hurriedly replied, "Fifteen minutes! Really! Fifteen minutes should be enough for us to get out! I won't drag you down!"
"Oh."
Upon hearing this response, Liu You'er felt reassured. She had initially considered whether to get him out first; since he could still hold on for fifteen minutes, she decided to let him endure for now.
Without looking back, she walked straight into the cave to eliminate the Queen Ant. As for Scarface, it was fine; it was probably already ten minutes in. He could likely hold on for another twenty minutes outside. So regardless of whether she killed the Queen Ant or not, she would escape within fifteen minutes; otherwise, if the Ant Army came in from outside, even with her Teleportation ability, escaping would be difficult.
At this moment, Scarface was in a state of collapse. Although his line of sight was blocked, he could still sense Liu You'er entering the hole he never wanted to step into again, filled with murderous intent. He couldn't believe it and thought, "Is she here specifically to kill Queen Ant?!"
Unfortunately, Liu You'er didn't care about his collapse; she was more focused on how to kill Queen Ant! In fact, killing Queen Ant wasn't difficult. Queen Ant moved slowly and only laid eggs. The challenge was that she remembered Queen Ant had specialized guards, which were much stronger than ordinary Worker Ants, and there was more than one. This meant she not only had to kill Queen Ant but also several Worker Ants. However, it was fine; those Little Ants were only 5 centimeters long, and Queen Ant and her guards shouldn't be too big either.
"Uh..."
The appearance of Queen Ant and the Worker Ant made Liu You'er feel incredibly embarrassed. Who could tell her what this five-meter-long, three-meter-high creature with a yellow body and three protruding single eyes was? It seemed to have a higher level than that warehouse Zombie! And what about the three-meter-long, one-meter-high rust-red creature beside it that was already at level two and glaring at her? Was this really an ant? It looked more like an alien!
Liu You'er felt speechless but decided to end things quickly. She charged directly at Queen Ant, summoning White Lightning in her hand to strike down on Queen Ant. However, before she could land the blow, she felt a sense of danger and hurriedly dodged to the side, rolling on the ground. When she turned back, she saw that the spot where she had been standing was already corroded with a deep mark that seemed to be deepening.
"This acid is too powerful! If I hadn't dodged just now, even if I didn't feel pain, I would have lost some skin!" If the acid strength of those ordinary Worker Ants was comparable to diluted Sulfuric Acid, then this Worker Ant's acid was undoubtedly concentrated Sulfuric Acid!
Liu You'er became even more cautious and shifted her attention to the Worker Ant. The Worker Ant continued to stare at her intently but remained motionless beside Queen Ant...
"Shit! I refuse to believe I can't deal with you!"
Liu You'er charged forward again. As Formic Acid sprayed directly toward her, she did not evade. The Worker Ant thought this intruder was doomed! But in the next second, the intruder vanished before its eyes! It hurriedly looked at Queen Ant and found her unharmed. Just as it breathed a sigh of relief, it felt a tremendous pain surge from its abdomen. Turning its head, it realized it had been cut in half by the intruder!
Before it could turn around to counterattack, it felt an electric current surging through its wound into its body, tearing apart its nerves...
Liu You'er watched as the ant's antennae twitched in agony for a moment before slowly going still. She then pulled it back into her space.
What she wanted was the element of surprise; taking advantage of the Worker Ant's moment of relaxation, she instantly appeared beside it and struck down hard with her machete at the junction between its body and abdomen. Since that area was the softest, it was severed immediately without much blood spraying out. Then she stuffed an Electric Ball into its wound, ensuring that the Worker Ant—originally capable of writhing for days due to undamaged nerves—was completely killed before putting it away in her space to avoid attracting other Worker Ants.
Liu You'er looked at the Queen Ant, who was all alone, a bloodthirsty smile on her lips. She hurled the Electric Ball at the Queen Ant, but because she believed the Queen Ant was just a soft target that could only reproduce, she let her guard down. As the Electric Ball struck the Queen Ant, she was swatted aside by the Queen Ant's claw.
"Cough cough," Liu You'er said, noticing she had coughed up blood again. She felt a deep sense of frustration, thinking she might become the first Zombie to die from excessive blood loss. She quickly took out a Well Water to replenish her strength, but suddenly felt a surge of danger. She hurriedly dodged, but due to the opponent's speed, her arm holding the well water was bitten, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Liu You'er had no time to care about the well water that had fallen to the ground. Although she felt little pain from her wound, it still pained her deeply. Looking up, she discovered that there were four tightly covered openings around the Queen Ant, obscured by leaves. Four two-meter tall Worker Ants crawled out after attacking Liu You'er and took up protective positions beside the Queen Ant, who was suffering in pain from being struck by the Electric Ball.
This made her frown and think, "These ants seem quite intelligent; the Queen Ant must have deliberately swatted me away!"
Checking her watch, she realized five minutes had already passed; there were still ten minutes left...
Liu You'er began to show a fierce expression as her fangs and nails became sharper. The Queen Ant was already somewhat weakened from laying eggs, and now further injured by the electric shock, its three single eyes glared at Liu You'er with hatred as it moved its antennae.
In the next second, all four Worker Ants charged at Liu You'er together, spraying Formic Acid at her. Even though she had Teleportation, it couldn't be used infinitely. The density of the Formic Acid directed at her was too great; she unfortunately fell victim to it. Her clothes were tattered, and there were many corrosive marks on her body. Moreover, she noticed that whenever she Teleported next to one of them, the other three would instantly turn around and attack her as if they could always anticipate her movements...
Wait! They certainly couldn't! But the Queen Ant could!
Ants have poor eyesight, but due to evolution, this Queen Ant could see objects clearly within 50 meters. The four Worker Ants acted entirely on its command; otherwise, they would have been killed long ago by the elusive Liu You'er. Watching the intruder suffer injuries made it happy as it focused all its attention on Liu You'er. At this moment, seeing Liu You'er disappear again, it disdainfully thought that even if she attempted a sneak attack, she wouldn't succeed!
But this time Liu You'er didn't appear anywhere else; instead, she appeared right in front of it with a sinister grin on her face...
