Freeze?
The captain turned his head, looking at Tang Yu with disbelief, his mouth slightly open, yet no sound ca out.
Dressed in a gorgeous ice-blue gown, Eileen didn't stand out in Tang Yu's team.
There were Winnie and Xiaoli, exuding the aura of advanced awakeners, and Xing Yue, who had displayed the magical "Path-finding Technique"...
Throughout their journey, Eileen had not yet made a move.
The surroundings were filled with the rustling sounds of black ants crawling, masking the glowing green crystal stones on the rock walls, making the entire underground space even darker; the few searchlights seed like the last slashes of light about to be engulfed by the Black Tide.
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Eileen nodded and uttered an "Mm".
Her crystal shoes tapped on the uneven ground as she stepped forward past everyone, approaching the front.
A pair of earrings, inlaid with blue crystals and bordered patterns, sparkled near her ears.
A headband with mysterious inscriptions obscured the hair on her forehead.
She extended her hand, pausing in mid-air, forming a grasping gesture.
A faint blue stream of light erged from her palm, elongating to form a magic wand as tall as her, topped with a moon-white crystal stone.
With the wand pointing ahead, Eileen's expression was solemn.
The moon-white crystal stone radiated an icy blue glow, causing the surrounding air to suddenly beco viscous.
"Achoo!" The cousin couldn't resist any longer and was the first to sneeze.
In an instant, a chill enveloped everyone, bone-chillingly cold.
Snowflakes fluttered through the underground space.
A splash of blue and white burst forth from where everyone was standing, exploding outward.
Like a blue ice flower, its petals unfolding layer by layer.
In an instant, the entire underground space seed to transform into an Ice Snow World,
The black ants, mid-crawl, were frozen in place.
Eileen retracted her hand, the magic wand resting on the ground, as she gently exhaled.
Just one move had completely frozen millions of demonized black ants.
Whether the size of chopsticks or a motorcycle, from Awakening Tier Zero to Awakening Tier Three, all were encapsulated within the ice without any exceptions.
Indeed,
terrifying as such!
The captain and others couldn't help but shiver again.
Tang Yu also had a mont of distraction, having received the inheritance and wearing advanced equipnt that even Kevin couldn't fully identify, his strength had elevated to Awakening Tier Ten...
This level of power was the first ti Eileen had truly unleashed it completely.
Tang Yu even felt that at this mont, Eileen had no rivals within the Awakening Tiers.
Eileen's strength was his strength.
With this analysis, he felt more confident than ever, at last being soone with high-end combat power.
However,
thinking of how his own efforts against black ants, which paled in comparison to Eileen's single big move, and realizing the MVP had undoubtedly floated to Eileen, he suddenly felt a bit choked up.
Both receiving advanced inheritance, why wasn't he as outstanding.
It was indeed a fake inheritance that he received.
"Hiss!"
The Ant Queen let out a piercing shriek, but this ti, one could faintly detect panic in it.
By its side, black ants with shiny carapaces and higher rank, also broke the ice encasing them, gathering around the Ant Queen.
However, the massive body of the Ant Queen dood its slow movents; escape was impossible, and the Ant Queen grew more frantic.
Its imnse abdon flexed, and with every contraction, black eggs covered in mucus burst forth from its rear end, and soon many black ants hatched from these eggs.
It was openly reproducing!
Tang Yu's mouth twitched as he pulled out a chicken-egg-sized, prism-shaped crystal stone from his pocket.
Aiming the crystal stone at the distant Ant Queen, the crystal flickered and light flowed, quickly revealing rows of information:
[Ant Queen (Demonized)]
Tier: Awakening Tier Nine.
Special Abilities: Spiritual Shock, egg-laying.
Characteristics: …
Weaknesses: …
Note: Given enough ti and resources, the Ant Queen can produce an entire army of ants.
Tang Yu: "..."
Spiritual Shock is one thing, but egg-laying… He initially thought that egg-laying was not much of a special ability, but seeing how in just a minute, many black ants had appeared around the Ant Queen, and reading that note, if they couldn't find the Ant Queen, who knows, perhaps in half a month or a month, the number of black ants here could increase by ten or hundred tis.
By then, this whole area underground would be completely hollowed out by the black ants, until it collapsed.
Indeed, it's a bug-type self-propelled munitions factory.
Shaking his head, under the Reconnaissance Crystal, the Ant Queen's strength was evident. Except for a few with weaker abilities who couldn't approach due to the Ant Queen's spiritual intimidation, everyone else rushed forward at once.
Shay's weapon transford into a handgun mode, continuously bombarding with bullets.
Xing Ling's expression was indifferent as she ford Spell Missiles in her hands and threw them at the Ant Queen.
The Captain and others were even more excited, holding their guns and shooting.
Tang Yu also threw a few Fighter Puppets, holding large shields, charging ahead.
The ordinary cannon fodder black ants were instantly heavily damaged and killed.
The Elite Guards roared as they rushed forward, their upper jaws biting down, but they could not bite through the shields of the Fighter Puppets.
After a fierce... warm-up exercise, the Ant Queen could not withstand the abuse any longer and fell down with a thunderous crash.
...
...
A high-end residential area, with two adjacent villas.
Just having endured an earful from Tang Dad and Tang's Mom, Tang Yu sighed helplessly, walked out of the villa's gate, and headed towards the other villa.
Nevertheless, he still felt warmth.
After all,
With parents around, life still has destinations. Without parents, life only has the return journey.
Looking up at the stars, he found them much clearer.
The other villa was temporarily the residence for Eileen and her followers. Living together was uncomfortable for both parties.
For Eileen and the others, Tang Dad and Tang's Mom were the Lord's parents, deserving utmost respect.
But in the eyes of Tang's parents, these people were their son's companions, without whom Tang Yu wouldn't have reached this point. They were exceedingly polite too.
The air was filled with a sense of awkwardness.
After defeating the Ant Queen, the Captain and other soldiers couldn't wait to go back and report, while Tang Yu and his group, thinking there was not much nightlife, returned to the rented villa.
Thinking about it, there was still ti for a late-night snack before bed.
As for developing that piece of land... what's more important than a late-night snack!
As Tang Yu walked into the villa, he saw his followers were playing cards. Due to the number of people, they were not playing Landlord but Three Kingdoms Kill.
As he entered, he heard Xing Yue cheering for her victory.
And Shay, grumbling, "Why is it always getting eliminated first? I can win when playing cards with Kong and them!"
It seed like he was questioning his life.
Tang Yu looked on but wanted to laugh.
You, a warrior type musketeer, and trying to beat an Astrologer at cards?
The others, either the well-coordinated Carn Brothers, those skilled in Perception, or those adept in Illusion Techniques, this analysis made Tang Yu realize that if he were to play, he would definitely be the first one out too.
He better just stay a silent spectator.
At that mont, he looked around and was surprised to find, "Where's Xing Ling? Why can't I see her?"
Xing Yue replied, "You an my sister? She went grocery shopping. Lord, didn't you say you wanted a late-night snack?"
Winnie suddenly uttered, "Xing Ling... seems to have been out for a long ti. Considering the ti, she should have been back already."
Tang Yu pondered.
He had stayed there for a long ti, and Xing Ling had not been back long before she went to the nearby market, indeed, she should have returned already.
"It's not likely that Xing Ling had an accident... um, or caused soone else to have one, right?"
Xing Yue waved her hands dismissively, while calling everyone for another round of the ga and asking if Tang Yu wanted to join. She then said:
"Don't worry, my sister just got lost again."
Again? Then why still..."
"Because my sister is good at bargaining. When I used to live with sis, she was the one who bought groceries. Getting lost isn't a worry, she's very slick with her Path-finding Technique... that spell I used to find the Ant Queen, she created it, and she executes it much more effectively. The spell can even specify how many ters to walk forward, when to turn, the degree of the turn, even the elevation, among other things... Anyways, my sister will find her way back."
Xing Yue rattled on about the unique secret technique 'Path-finding Technique'.
It sounded impressively powerful.
But Tang Yu felt that there is sothing off about this technique!
