Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: Bowing in Submission
Just as Ye You expected, when tens of thousands of red ants sward into the hall and attacked Ye You recklessly, the Ant Queen’s figure was gradually retreating.
When it was close enough to the wall, it suddenly flashed and vanished into the wall.
The walls of the underground world were naturally also made of sand and earth, allowing Burrow Escape. The Ant Queen used the thirty-sixth strategy of "escape," abandoning the lives of the other red ants in the family.
This action seed ruthless and ungrateful, but the other red ants should have accepted it.
Because if the Ant Queen died, the family would be completely finished. Without the Ant Queen capable of reproduction, even the strongest family would decline, and the death of ordinary red ants wouldn’t significantly impact the family.
In the current situation, if the Ant Queen continued to fight Ye You, defeat was inevitable, and it might even cost its life.
Thus, it chose to sacrifice the car to save the commander, escaping under the cover of nurous ordinary red ants to find a new place to reside.
After the battle, if Ye You did not pursue them to the end, the surviving red ants could naturally find it through a special scent.
Even if all the other red ants in this nest perished, the eggs laid by the Ant Queen would hatch quickly, and these young red ants would beco new mbers of the Ant Queen’s family. The Red Ant Clan would continue to exist.
Ye You saw the Ant Queen’s escape. He wanted to pursue, but there were layers upon layers of red ants, making it impossible to get through.
He used Magic power to condense magic wings and tried to fly over. The red ants stepped on their companions’ bodies desperately to leap onto them and then bit fiercely with sharp teeth.
Tornted by the pain, Ye You had to stop and brush off the ants on his body. Qin Sisi also had a few on her, which she swatted off with her claws.
Qin Sisi glanced at the spot where the Ant Queen disappeared and said to Ye You, "You go after the Ant Queen, I’ll deal with these red ants."
"Can you... handle it?" Ye You looked at Qin Sisi with concern.
Qin Sisi raised her head, confidently replied, "I’ve already taken two doses of Life Divine Water. Although I’m not fully recovered, it’s more than enough to deal with a few ants."
Ye You smiled. He always kept Qin Sisi in his heart, constantly wanting to take care of and protect her, often subconsciously forgetting that she already had so ability to protect herself.
"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you," Ye You said aloud, raising his hand to condense a semi-transparent silver sphere, placing Qin Sisi inside, then giving her a deep look before turning to fly to the wall where the Ant Queen disappeared and dove in.
Among the five elents, fire generates earth. Ye You’s Fire magic was quite powerful, and accordingly, his Earth Magic was also strong. However, since he had more powerful Fire magic and Thunder magic, he rarely used Earth Magic.
But in the current situation, it seed that Earth Magic was more useful.
Ye You’s purple eyes sparkled in the dark sands, clearly seeing the situation inside. Sand is more solid; when a large object passes through, it inevitably leaves clear traces.
The Ant Queen hadn’t been gone long; those traces hadn’t disappeared yet, and Ye You easily found the route it had taken to flee and followed in that direction.
After Ye You left, the red ants turned their attack towards Qin Sisi.
Standing inside the semi-transparent silver sphere, Qin Sisi first used Fire Attribute Magic power to condense a Blaze Fla Shield for defense, and then used the Fireball Technique against the red ants that approached.
She knew that her Magic power was not as great as Ye You’s and was not suitable for using powerful Magic skills for large-scale attacks like he did. What she should do was first protect herself, then try to kill as many red ants as possible.
Since the silver sphere was suspended in mid-air, the red ants couldn’t fly and could only crawl on the ground. To attack Qin Sisi, they could only crawl up walls or step on their companions and jump up.
This prevented them from all attacking Qin Sisi at once, which reduced her pressure significantly. She only needed to eliminate the few ants that jumped up, then shoot a few fireballs into the bustling multitude of ants on the ground.
The red ants were so densely packed that each fireball caused considerable ant casualties, but red ants continued pouring in from the eight passages, so after a long fight, their numbers showed no sign of dwindling.
At this point, Ye You finally returned, holding the barely alive Ant Queen.
The Ant Queen was already injured, and its Burrow Escape speed was affected, so it didn’t take long for Ye You to catch up and bring it back subdued.
Ye You threw the Ant Queen into the mass of red ants on the ground, then flew beside Qin Sisi, holding the silver sphere in his palm, smiling as he gazed at her, and flaunted the Red Ant scepter in his hand.
Qin Sisi smiled with a relaxed and joyful expression, praising, "Nicely done."
Ye You was in high spirits. Even without Qin Sisi saying so, he knew he had achieved a brilliant victory, yet being praised by the woman he loved was indeed a very delightful thing.
He stored the Red Ant scepter into his Portable Space, raised his palm, and purple flas soared, seemingly ready to fall among the red ant swarm at any mont.
The arrival of the Ant Queen threw the red ants into chaos. They didn’t know what orders to follow next; so surrounded and tended to the Ant Queen, feeding it water and food, while others continued to climb the walls, leaping towards Qin Sisi, eting a certain death.
The Ant Queen regained a bit of strength after being fed so food by the red ants. Opening its eyes, the first thing it saw was the purple fla in Ye You’s hand.
The Ant Queen was startled and hurriedly got up, crawling towards Ye You, bending its legs deeply, its body almost touching the ground, making a kowtow posture.
Ye You knew the Ant Queen was conceding, expressing willingness to submit, pleading for its and the other lives in the nest to be spared by Ye You.
The common red ants saw the Ant Queen’s actions and were all stunned. All the red ants stopped everything and fixed their gazes on the Ant Queen.
After a while, all the red ants imitated the Ant Queen’s posture, bowing towards Ye You and Qin Sisi.
The Ant Queen was the leader of the Red Ant Clan; its command must be obeyed, its decision executed.
Ye You and Qin Sisi exchanged a smile, their expressions unusually relaxed. This underground calamity was finally coming to an end.
