36: Chapter 36: Queen Ant Breakthrough, Producing Mortal-Level Stage 5 Ant Soldiers
While Chi Xueyue was beating up the Azure-Light Poison-Blood Spider, Chi Anlin was developing at a high speed.
The territory of the Tiger Armor Ant Soldier had begun to gradually expand, and soon they encountered many demonic beasts above Mortal Rank Five.
Compared to the previous Ant Soldiers, the combat power of the Tiger Armor Ant Soldier was even more powerful; twenty Mortal Grade Second Stage Ant Soldiers could surround and kill one Mortal Rank Five demonic beast.
And Chi Anlin, with the help of Xiao Yue, had also learned to use spiritual power.
Applying wind-attribute spiritual power to his legs could make him move faster, while ice-attribute spiritual power could hinder an opponent's attack, primarily serving as a control effect.
In a critical moment, ice thorns could also be used as his own weapon.
The Insect Queen was nearing a breakthrough, and the Ant Soldiers went crazy, hunting demonic beasts everywhere to obtain the energy needed for the Insect Queen's breakthrough.
"I wonder if Xiao Yi can drink monkey wine." Chi Anlin rubbed his chin; the Insect Queen's breakthrough required some medium.
There were only two types of such mediums: one was a high-grade crystal core containing deep spiritual energy, and the other was a high-grade mineral.
He didn't have a crystal core, but as for minerals, although ice crystals didn't belong to metals, they counted as a type of mineral, right?
Chi Anlin thought for a moment and took the ice crystal from his neck to give to the Insect Queen.
Originally, this thing was intended for Xiao Yue's Fusion, but because Xiao Yue's level was too low and the degree of Fusion was not high, it had to be postponed.
As for resources, if they were gone, he could just go buy more, so Chi Anlin didn't care how precious this thing was.
Upon sensing the ice crystal in Chi Anlin's hand, the Insect Queen excitedly let out a hissing sound, and a pleasing message was transmitted through the sea of consciousness, so Chi Anlin did not hesitate and directly gave the ice crystal to the Insect Queen.
Its hideous mouthparts crushed and swallowed the ice crystal, and the Insect Queen lowered its body, seemingly brewing something.
—Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Chi Anlin observed that the Insect Queen's body began to vibrate rhythmically, setting off waves of air on the ground that sent pebbles flying away.
This cave was still very clean; the Insect Queen would convert everything it swallowed into energy without discharging it as impurities, and the corpses of those demonic beasts were gnawed clean, not even leaving bone fragments behind.
The spiritual power in the air became very active, and Chi Anlin hurriedly sat cross-legged as streams of energy flowed in along his meridians; the Insect Queen was starting its breakthrough!
His own realm had also reached the peak of Mortal Rank Fourth Stage, and this time, the spiritual power transmitted by the Insect Queen carried the aura of the ice crystal, which was exceptionally compatible with him and Xiao Yue.
Chi Anlin opened his and Xiao Yue's spiritual power channels, allowing his own spiritual power to pour back into Xiao Yue's body.
Feeling the arrival of spiritual power, Xiao Yue let out a long howl and lay down, and at this moment, a more vigorous tide of spiritual power surged over, causing pain in his meridians, so Chi Anlin let out a low roar and hurriedly operated his cultivation technique to absorb it.
It was fortunate that he had opened Xiao Yue's spiritual power channel, otherwise his own meridians might have been ruptured.
Man and beast were immersed in the tide of spiritual power, and their realms began to loosen, soon breaking through like a dam bursting.
After successfully breaking through to Mortal Rank Five, Chi Anlin did not stand up immediately, but instead used this spiritual power to continue stabilizing his realm.
Just like that, about half an hour later, Chi Anlin opened his eyes again; his body felt filled with energy, and even the fatigue caused by long-term abuse had disappeared, becoming very clear-headed.
Looking at Xiao Yue beside him, Chi Anlin used Appraisal.
【Name】: Wind-Snow Wolf
【Attribute】: Ice, Wind
【Level】: Mortal Rank Sixth Stage
【Potential】: Yellow Rank Low-Grade
【Skill】:
Ice Seal: high-grade mortal rank, controls enemy movement, and continues to be affected by the slowing effect after shaking off the skill.
Gale Step: high-grade mortal rank, consumes a certain amount of spiritual power, increases speed by one fold.
Xiao Yue's realm was gradually catching up to the Insect Queen, which was very normal; as a type of Insect Queen demonic beast, its strength improvement would certainly be much slower, after all, one promotion was not just improving its own combat power, but the promotion of the entire group.
Therefore, in the future, Xiao Yue's strength would definitely far exceed the Insect Queen's.
After checking Xiao Yue, Chi Anlin's gaze turned to the Insect Queen.
【Name】: Fierce Biting Ant Queen
【Attribute】: Metal, Fire
【Level】: Mortal Rank Seventh Stage
【Potential】: Yellow Rank Mid-Grade
【Production Speed】:
Mortal Rank Ninth Stage: 1 / 5 days
Mortal Rank Eighth Stage: 1 / 1 day
Mortal Rank Seventh Stage: 3 / 1 day
Mortal Rank Sixth Stage: 10 / 1 day
Mortal Rank Five: 50 / 1 day
Mortal Rank Fourth Stage: 100 / 1 day
mortal rank third stage: 300 / 1 day
Mortal Grade Second Stage: 900 / day
mortal rank first stage: 3600 / day
Ordinary: 50000 / day
"What the f*ck??"
Chi Anlin widened his eyes; this data had more than doubled.
It could produce three hundred mortal rank third stage ants a day, and even the Mortal Rank Seventh Stage Ant Soldiers could be produced at a rate of three per day.
And the mortal rank first stage Ant Soldiers reached the terrifying number of over three thousand per day.
Since the low-level demonic beasts around had been killed off, Chi Anlin happily ordered the Insect Queen to start producing Mortal Rank Five Ant Soldiers.
With the current strength of the demonic beasts in the forest, they were basically all above the fifth stage; if he produced mortal rank first stage Ant Soldiers, although the quantity would be large, many Ant Soldiers would be killed with a light slap from these demonic beasts, and even some demonic beasts with attribute attacks, such as Flame Tigers, only needed to spit out a ball of fire to cause heavy casualties to the Ant Soldiers.
And although the Mortal Rank Five Ant Soldiers were not as powerful in combat compared to these demonic beasts, they would not die after a few attacks; when a demonic beast attacked one Ant Soldier, the other Ant Soldiers would swarm up and bite the demonic beast to death.
A Mortal Rank Five Ant Soldier was hatched; it was fifty centimeters long, like a small dog, and Chi Anlin picked up a stone nearby and threw it at it.
—Bang!!
The huge force hit the Ant Soldier, but the Ant Soldier only swayed, its armor remained intact, and the stone was smashed to pieces.
Chi Anlin roughly assessed that this Ant Soldier's defensive power had reached about one-third of a Rock Pig's.
Plus the ability to fly, the danger index of the Ant Soldiers rose sharply; even bird beasts would have to meet their end on the spot if they were targeted.
"Squeak, squeak!" While Chi Anlin was fiddling with the Tiger Armor Ant Soldiers, the Insect Queen suddenly made a sound, and a message appeared in Chi Anlin's mind.
Three kilometers away from the cave, the Ant Soldiers had discovered humans!
And the words those humans said were conveyed into Chi Anlin's mind through the Insect Queen's description, word for word.
The Insect Queen might not understand what these humans were saying, but it could simulate it through spiritual communication.
"It seems that treasures are being bred in Yongyuan Pool, and many cultivators and demonic beasts have gathered there. Boss, should we..."
"Are you crazy? Don't think about your own strength. I heard that the Azure Wolf Squad has made a harsh statement this time: if anyone competes with them, it will be a situation of life and death."
