Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: The Hardest Enemy to Fight
Just as the teors Rain of Fire released by Ye You was about to hit the Ant Queen, she suddenly vanished, and the fire rained down on the mural behind the throne instead.
After all, the Ziwei Heaven Fire is a mighty Divine Fire, burning the impacted part of the mural to a blackened crisp.
This mural is considered a treasure of the Ant family, a spiritual heritage teaching the young ants of the family to unite and fight against foreign enemies.
The damage to the mural infuriated the Ant Queen and the male ants even more.
"What happened? Could it be that it knows invisibility?" Qin Sisi was quite shocked to see the Ant Queen mysteriously disappear.
Ye You shook his head and said, "No, it burrowed underground."
"Really?" Hearing Ye You’s response, Qin Sisi felt slightly relieved, realizing it was just a common magic skill.
Ye You confidently replied, "Yes, I saw it. It moved too fast; you might not have seen it clearly."
Qin Sisi indeed didn’t see clearly, but she trusted Ye You’s eyes, as they were special and could see things ordinary eyes couldn’t.
With the Ant Queen disappearing, twenty male ants at the base of the pillar began to move towards Ye You.
Their bodies were much more robust than the female ants, appearing much stronger. Qin Sisi could see a row of serrated thin plates on their forelegs, exceptionally sharp.
Almost simultaneously, the twenty male ants leaped up, swinging their sharp forelegs, attacking Ye You.
Ye You first used a Wood Attribute Magic to conjure a magic shield in the form of a giant wood shield and then cast the Fire Bomb magic skill.
These red ants primarily live underground, with their magic attribute being mainly Earth Magic. In the five elents, wood counters earth, so a wood attribute magic shield is best for defending against earth attribute attacks.
Faced with the twenty robust male ants, Ye You used the Fire Bomb skill, which is not very powerful but can attack multiple targets simultaneously.
Twenty fire bombs, burning with purple flas, rushed towards the twenty aggressively advancing male ants, making them feel threatened even before reaching them. They imdiately conjured brownish magic shields in front of them with their magic power.
The attacks of the twenty male ants were all blocked by the giant wood shield, and when the fire bombs hit the brownish magic shields, they exploded, making the magic shields disappear. Neither side was injured, and neither hurt the other.
In the second round, Ye You took the initiative, casting the Holy Fire Illusion Sword magic skill to attack one of the male ants.
Group attack skills disperse the magic power, yielding average attack effects. It’s better to use powerful magic skills to attack one target and take them down one by one.
The attacked male ant imdiately reconjured a brownish magic shield in front of itself. The Holy Fire Illusion Sword charged in fiercely, directly collapsing the male ant’s magic shield.
But the mont the magic shield was breached, the male ant’s figure had swiftly vanished underground.
Ye You missed his strike and had to find another target, but the results were similar.
The attacks of these male ants were ineffective against Ye You’s giant wood shield, and Ye You’s attacks couldn’t hit these male ants either, as they were too quick with their Burrow Escape.
In the end, the Ant Queen and all twenty male ants burrowed into the underground soil, leaving only Qin Sisi and Ye You in the spacious and luxurious hall.
Qin Sisi thought of the Dark Forest, where there used to be a dark secret chamber beneath the Giant Wood Castle. She wondered helplessly if the Ant Queen intended to trap them here like the Dark Witch.
With the Ant Queen and the male ants all underground, Ye You considered using Burrow Escape to pursue the red ants, but realizing that their Burrow Escape skill was exceptional, he worried they might have prepared traps underground, putting them at a disadvantage.
Thus, Ye You abandoned the idea and decided to think of another way.
Suddenly, a foreleg covered with serrated thin plates quietly erged from the ground, hooked Ye You’s ankle, and slashed viciously.
Ye You let out a low groan and leapt up swiftly, but the culprit’s foreleg had already retreated below the surface.
Without pausing to heal himself, he quickly used magic power to conjure magic wings and flew into the air. Fortunately, the hall was high enough to let him fly. Even if he managed only a two to three ters height, he could avoid another ambush.
The wound on Ye You’s ankle was deep, with bright red blood gushing out, dripping onto the ground and filling the air with a bloody odor.
The Ant Queen finally reappeared, standing a short distance away, swinging her scepter. The silver orb released a beam of light aid at Ye You.
This ti Ye You didn’t dodge; instead, he used Wood Attribute Magic Power to form a giant wood shield for defense, intending to test the Ant Queen’s strength.
The silver light clashed with the green giant wood shield, pausing for a montary standoff. The silver light pressed forward relentlessly, and the giant wood shield held its ground firmly.
The male ants thought this was their chance and imdiately leapt out of the ground, raising their sharp forelegs to slash at Ye You’s body, only to be blocked by the giant wood shield.
The male ants assud Ye You was fully occupied fighting with the Ant Queen, leaving them unguarded, thus wasting no ti slashing the giant wood shield with their sharp forelegs.
Ye You’s expression turned slightly grim. Surrounded and attacked by over twenty creatures simultaneously, the energy of the giant wood shield was rapidly depleting, faster than he could replenish it.
Qin Sisi seized the opportunity, gathering magic power to release the Holy Fire Illusion Sword magic skill, attacking one of the male ants fiercely hacking at the giant wood shield.
Due to the close distance and lack of defense, the male ant was struck squarely by Qin Sisi’s Holy Fire Illusion Sword, struggling for a mont before its robust body finally vanished within the golden flas.
The remaining nineteen male ants were stunned. They had only been focused on dealing with Ye You, taking for granted that the white cat perched on his shoulder was an ornate but impractical pet, not paying attention to her at all.
No one expected this tiny pet to possess such prowess.
Having killed one male ant, Qin Sisi was pleased, ready to continue the assault, but as she gathered magic power again, the male ants burrowed back underground, leaving her strength unused.
This left Qin Sisi speechless. What enemy is the hardest to fight?
Not the strongest, not the most persistent, but the one most skilled at hiding.
These red ants belonged to the most elusive kind, no matter how powerful or skilled one’s magic was. They just burrowed into the soil and refused to co out, leaving one utterly helpless.
