Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: At Wit’s End
The male ants burrowed underground, and Qin Sisi had no choice but to give up on them for now. She turned to look at the Ant Queen who was battling with Ye You.
The Ant Queen’s Silver Light Attack was on par with Ye You’s giant wood shield in power, neither side gaining an advantage.
However, Qin Sisi noticed that Ye You looked calm and unperturbed, while the Ant Queen was gritting her teeth, the arm holding the scepter trembling slightly. She knew Ye You was intentionally wearing down the Ant Queen’s magic power.
Qin Sisi waited for a mont, and seeing the Ant Queen’s arm trembling more severely, her eyes sharpened. She retrieved the Golden Scale Snake Whip from her storage ring, concentrated the Fire Attribute Magic Power, and unleashed the Fire Dragon Lock Chain skill towards the Ant Queen with force.
The Fire Dragon Lock Chain could not only injure but also bind its target, preventing the Ant Queen from burrowing back into the ground.
As the Golden Scale Snake Whip swiftly approached, a glint of sharpness flashed in the Ant Queen’s oval eyes. She decisively stopped her assault on the giant wood shield with her scepter and turned to face the Golden Scale Snake Whip.
The Golden Scale Snake Whip was intercepted mid-air by the Red Ant scepter. The Ant Queen twisted the Red Ant scepter with all her strength, causing the whip to spin around, redirecting the attack to another direction, and the Fire Dragon Lock Chain followed the Golden Scale Snake Whip, striking a thick pillar.
A loud "boom" was heard as the thick pillar was shattered to pieces, and a large mass of dirt and stones fell, turning the once spacious and orderly hall into a dusty and chaotic scene.
While the Ant Queen was deflecting Qin Sisi’s attack, Ye You seized the opportunity to unleash Wild Leaf Dance. Countless erald green leaves flew towards the Ant Queen, each sharper than a dagger.
After redirecting Qin Sisi’s attack, the Ant Queen found Ye You’s Wild Leaf Dance almost upon her and hastily gathered a magic shield for defense.
However, the magic shield ford in a rush was evidently not strong enough, and Ye You’s magic power surpassed hers. The erald leaves consud only one-third of their energy to shatter the Ant Queen’s magic shield, leaving two-thirds to slice through the Ant Queen’s body.
Green blood flowed out of the Ant Queen’s body, but she used the majority of her magical power to protect her vital parts; the injured areas were not life-threatening.
Even so, her combat ability was significantly diminished, unable to contend with Qin Sisi and Ye You.
The Ant Queen’s figure flickered and disappeared silently again.
Qin Sisi knew she had most likely burrowed underground again. Retreating when unable to win was indeed a wise choice.
Once again, the hall fell silent. Qin Sisi asked softly, "What now?"
Ye You let out a cold snort, turned to Qin Sisi with a smile, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Watch ."
With that, he opened his palm, gathering a large amount of Earth Attribute Magic Power. When the power was sufficient, he leaped into the air, swiftly coming down, slamming his hand heavily onto the ground.
"Sinking Star and Shaking Ground!" Ye You uttered in a low voice. From where his hand struck the ground, the dark earth rippled, transmitting layers of Earth Attribute Magic Power through the soil, affecting all hidden creatures within it.
The next mont, the Ant Queen and the remaining nineteen male ants leaped out from below the ground. Except for the Ant Queen, the other red ants were sprawled helplessly on the ground.
They thought hiding in the soil would be safe without any defenses, yet when Ye You’s magical force struck, they were all injured.
Because the Ant Queen had just fought with Ye You, she was channeling magical power to heal, and when the shockwaves from Sinking Star and Shaking Ground arrived, her magic power shielded her montarily.
Though she remained unhard this ti, her previous injuries were yet to heal, making her feel helpless, her body swaying unsteadily.
The Sinking Star and Shaking Ground forced the red ants hiding in the soil to surface, and Ye You’s gaze swiftly focused on the Ant Queen. Quickly, he unleashed Inescapable Net towards her.
The Ant Queen’s eyes changed, just about to raise her scepter for defense, when the nearest male ant charged forward. The Inescapable Net encased the male ant, imprisoning it in a large net woven from green vines.
Ye You waved his hand, dragging the entangled ant back to him, and without hesitation, he raised the Sparrow Spirit Scepter, smashing it onto the ant’s head.
The head of the male ant was crushed instantly, killing it on the spot.
The Ant Queen seethed with anger, grinding her teeth. She waved her scepter up and down several tis, and the remaining male ants, suppressing their injuries, lunged towards Ye You and Qin Sisi.
Ye You’s eyes darkened. He didn’t defend with Wood Magic anymore, instead spinning his body to unleash Rock Fall. Boulder-sized rocks ca crashing down from the hall’s ceiling, targeting the oncoming male ants.
Imdiately, green blood splattered everywhere, several male ants unable to escape in ti were crushed by the rocks, eting their deaths.
So were hit in the legs, retreating limping into a corner, not daring to advance anymore.
Two were luckier, successfully dodging the falling rocks and approached Ye You and Qin Sisi. However, before they could attack, Ye You’s Sparrow Spirit Scepter had already descended on their heads, sealing their fates.
The Ant Queen’s heart bled with regret, thinking she would never have provoked these two harbingers of doom if she had known.
When Ye You and Qin Sisi were buried under the desert sand, taking cover from a sandstorm, a few of the red ants in the sand bit them, causing Ye You to burn a few in anger.
The Ant Queen was enraged and devised a plan to have Ye You fall into the red ants’ lair, attempting to avenge those ants while also treating the two fresh humans as a feast.
In the end, the al wasn’t eaten, and she ended up injured, losing many of her elite soldiers, nearly unable to protect their entire lair.
After a brief thought, the Ant Queen lifted her scepter, shaking it vigorously, opening the gates of eight channels. Threads of faint spiritual power were released from the scepter, drifting into the distance.
Responding to the Ant Queen’s call, countless red ants poured into the hall through the eight channels. The channels seed like eight faucets, continually delivering red ants in.
Ye You’s gaze deepened, realizing that the Ant Queen seed to have exhausted her ans.
Initially, she stopped ordinary red ants from battling him; now, she summoned a swarm of them for the sa purpose.
The contradictory behavior of the Ant Queen made Ye You wary. While releasing Fire Attribute Magic Power to deal with the continuously incoming red ants, he kept a close watch on the Ant Queen’s actions.
