Chapter 24 Battle with the Ant Queen
At this time, the sky was bright, and the entire process of the ant queen's appearance could be clearly seen, as well as the special effects of its ability to move freely in the soil.
It could be seen that on the left and right sides of the ant queen's body, there were sound-producing organs like those of a male cicada.
This thing could vibrate at extremely high frequencies to emit powerful ripples. When these ripples resonated synchronously with the frequency of the soil, it could easily crush the soil around it into sand. Relying on its own brute force, it could naturally enter and exit the ground freely.
The overall form of the ant queen looked like a combination of an ant and a cicada (cicada larvae). It didn't have the lean and compact physique of an ant, but rather a fat and solid volume like a cicada. The two front limbs at the very front had mutated into extremely powerful weapons, while the remaining six long legs were as slender as a spider's. When crawling on the ground, its speed was not slow at all, which was reminiscent of a head-on-colliding tank.
When this guy crawled on the ground, it was like a locomotive spewing out thick white steam, and it seemed that anything blocking its path would be crushed and knocked away.
Its dark, alloy steel-like carapace, sharp claws that even gleamed with a cold light, and the sharp mouthparts that kept closing and making "click, click" sounds, all fully illustrated that it was a powerful and threatening monster.
In an instant, the ant queen rushed into the rocky area. The incomparably hard wind-eroded rocks shattered into pieces under its claws like freshly baked cheese pancakes, "crack, crack." Smoke and dust rose, cracks splattered everywhere, and many stones were even kicked out at high speed, hitting the nearby rock walls and causing sparks to fly. The ant queen's brute force was evident.
Like the other Unicorn Flying Ants, it also had two pairs of transparent wings on its back. Although these two pairs of wings were not enough to provide enough thrust when flapping rapidly to allow this heavy and terrifying monster to fly, they could make its movements more agile and swift, often allowing it to make movements that were completely inconsistent with its bulky body.
To put it in a very appropriate analogy, it was like a M1A2 heavy tank weighing more than sixty-seven tons suddenly performing a drifting maneuver, making it truly impossible to defend against.
As the ant queen approached, a strong and incomparable stench rushed towards them. Fang Senyan then realized that there was also a clear wound on its rear end. Some dark red intestines and other things were constantly overflowing from this wound as it moved, and large clumps of dark green viscous liquid fell from the wound, forming a clear accumulation on the ground.
Obviously, this was the after-effect of the ant queen biting off its connection with the egg sac. Such a wound already involved the internal organs, and without a doubt, its life force was rapidly flowing away from the wound. But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the ant queen's four transparent wings flapped at high speed. The violent movement of the muscles squeezed out more body fluid and internal organs from the wound, but the ant queen's huge body suddenly and abruptly accelerated and changed direction, rushing towards Artanis at an incredible speed!
This attack really caught the three of them off guard! Because they had not expected that the ant queen's explosive power could be so strong.
Artanis, however, was not flustered by the surprise. He took a deep breath, immediately took a few steps back, reached out his hands and grabbed the arm of a nearby artificial human, and with a sudden force in his arms, he pulled the artificial human over to block in front of his body, while using the force to leap to the side.
With a loud "boom," choking smoke and dust filled the air. The ant queen's two sharp and thick deformed front limbs had deeply pierced into the artificial human's body, and then tore it apart fiercely, tearing the artificial human alive.
The unlucky guy's parts were scattered all over the ground, and his head rolled to the side, then was crushed flat by the ant queen's foot, and disgusting green-black pulp splashed everywhere, gurgling out on the ground. But this tragic scene did not attract the attention of the other artificial humans. Artanis' other two artificial humans looked indifferent, as if they knew that being used as cannon fodder was a very common thing.
Artanis rolled around on the ground a few times in a mess, then got up again. A long wound had appeared on his right arm, blood flowing freely, and it was rapidly turning black and swelling, obviously poisoned.
Although he dodged quickly, his right arm was still scratched by the ant queen's mutated front limb. That thing was not just for show. It was somewhat similar to the mutated front limbs of cicadas, and somewhat similar to the digging forefeet of mole crickets. Both its strength and sharpness were comparable to fierce weapons. Now it seemed that there was also a strong poison on it.
At this time, Ramtas had already rushed up, let out an angry pig-like roar, raised his staff and smashed it down on the ant queen. The staff was still shining with a faint blue light, obviously with a powerful natural blessing spell attached to it.
In addition, Paul had attached a lot of metal to the head of this staff. Rather than calling it a staff, it would be more accurate to call it a giant spiked club.
The ant queen stretched out its front limbs to block, and with a "clang" sound, the metal part at the front of the staff actually collided with the ant queen's front limbs, splashing out several sparks. Although Ramtas' strength had been greatly increased at this time due to devouring the Unicorn Flying Ant's genes, it was impossible for him to directly compete with the ant queen. He was beaten back a dozen steps in a row until his back hit the rock wall before he stopped.
However, Ramtas' attack also caused the ant queen to suffer a considerable degree of shock, so its entire heavy body stagnated for a moment. At this moment, Fang Senyan had already run up from the side, rushing up and jumping onto the ant queen's back, his hands firmly grabbing the base of the ant queen's transparent wings.
Fang Senyan understood very well that the biggest threat of the ant queen at this time was the amazing speed that could be suddenly increased, and the source of the speed burst was the two pairs of wings that could not make it fly! He grabbed the base of the wings with one hand to maintain balance, and then pulled out the +7 West with the other hand and raised it high!
In an instant, powerful liquid metal swam onto the snow-bright blade of the +7 West, seemingly plating it with a layer of shiny edge, and then Fang Senyan exhaled and thrust the knife down forcefully at the ant queen's back.
With a soft "poof," the +7 West had pierced into the ant queen's body along the gap in the carapace, and Fang Senyan stirred it! Dark green liquid and pieces of meat splashed out, and Fang Senyan's force was extremely fierce, so that when this knife was stabbed down, even the arm holding the knife directly hit into the ant queen's body, all the way to the shoulder!!!
The ant queen, of course, felt the abnormality on its back, let alone such severe pain? It immediately burst out with amazing power, let out a muffled and hoarse hiss, and suddenly lifted its body, while the remaining two movable wings vibrated violently.
Fang Senyan immediately felt unsteady. If he hadn't lived on a sea ship for a long time and was accustomed to the turbulence of the wind and waves, he would have been thrown off long ago. It was just that it was impossible for the ant queen to have a blind spot on its back. One of its hind legs actually bent back at a strange angle and hit Fang Senyan's back all at once.
Of course, it was impossible for Fang Senyan to stay on it any longer, but at the same time as he was knocked away, the +7 West twisted half a circle strangely, changed an angle, and then was violently brought out.
Before the West was pulled out, it had been very viciously pressed by Fang Senyan against several of the ant queen's internal muscles. Although the ant queen knocked Fang Senyan away and eliminated the hidden danger on its back, it was also equivalent to giving Fang Senyan enough power to cut off these muscles fiercely. These muscles were responsible for fanning the wings, which meant that the ant queen's wings had been disabled.
After Fang Senyan was knocked away, the extremely painful ant queen's attention was completely attracted by him. It immediately dragged its heavy body and launched a charge. It instinctively wanted to fan its wings to assist the impact, but the short and deep terrifying wound on its back immediately gave a timely response - it used a large amount of dark green body fluid and severe pain to tell the ant queen that this was a wrong decision.
So the ant queen's charge became inaccurate and crashed into the nearby rock wall all at once. Paul also knew the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," so he immediately summoned his metal war golem Heracles again. After this powerful metal monster rested in another dimension for a while, its injuries had obviously improved, and more than 80% of the magic arrays on its armor had been repaired.
When Heracles' heavy siege hammer struck down from top to bottom, the ant queen was still howling and trying to rush up to find Fang Senyan. It incidentally raised a mutated forefoot and stabbed it into the chest of the metal war golem.
The ant queen's forelimbs scraped a long string of sparks on the chest of this huge metal monster, and even more tooth-aching sounds were accompanied by metal debris spraying out like fireworks, but Heracles, a metal monster who didn't know fatigue or pain, was also wielding a heavy siege hammer and smashing it **** on the ant queen's head.
It must be admitted that the layer of tough chitin on the surface of the ant queen was very strong, comparable to plate armor, but although this thing had strong defense against slashing, splitting, and stabbing with knives and swords, the defense effect against heavy blunt weapons was very poor.
Heracles' heavy siege hammer, weighing four or five hundred kilograms, slammed down hard, and immediately made a crisp sound like an eggshell, and a large number of cracks were densely covered on the carapace!
