Chapter 162: Queen Ant
A sickeningly loud crash echoed across the field.
Zhang Xiaoyuan felt her finger being pierced, and drops of blood splattered out.
However, the two silver ant monsters on the other side were also not in good shape. They were sent flying back for about ten meters, and the silver light on their bodies dimmed.
After Zhang Xiaoyuan looked closely, he discovered that the pointed heads of the two silver ant monsters had actually become rounder after he hit them.
Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but laugh; this irregular head wasn't as pretty as the pointed head she had just had.
But his laughter soon faded, for he saw the two silver ant monsters' heads collide, and in no time, their heads became pointed again, regaining their fighting power.
"Can you still play like this?!"
Seeing the silver ant monster charging forward again, launching an attack no less powerful than before, Zhang Xiaoyuan's face darkened.
His finger had just stopped bleeding and the flesh hadn't healed properly. Upon the next collision, he immediately fell into a disadvantageous position and was knocked away by the silver ant beast.
At that moment, a black ant monster rushed over and crashed heavily into Zhang Xiaoyuan's back.
The silver ant monster followed closely behind, constantly launching attacks on Zhang Xiaoyuan.
The protective shield formed by the Earth Guardian had already been destroyed by the Silver Ant Beast. Zhang Xiaoyuan had countless broken bones and more than a dozen blood holes, from which blood was constantly gushing out.
boom!
Zhang Xiaoyuan was knocked away again.
While the two silver ant monsters were polishing their pointed heads, he finally got a moment to catch his breath.
"Ouch...that really hurts."
Looking at the severe injuries on his body, Zhang Xiaoyuan thought that even ancient tortures couldn't be worse than this, but he never expected to experience them in such an unusual way.
Just to be on the safe side, Zhang Xiaoyuan took out a drop of the Tree of Life essence and swallowed it.
In just a moment, his injuries healed so completely, his damaged internal organs recovered quickly and became strong and powerful, and his heart was beating violently.
At the same time, he felt a faint life force permeating the surroundings, but it was very thin and entered his body at an extremely slow speed.
"After absorbing the essence of the Tree of Life, one will be able to master the natural power of the elves. I suppose what I am feeling is natural energy."
Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and feeling his body return to its peak, he let out a long roar and took the initiative to attack the black ant beast.
He had originally planned to save them until the end, but since they dared to take the initiative, he would take back the extra life they had gained!
Bang!
Bang!
With two punches, Zhang Xiaoyuan smashed the two black ant beasts, which had not yet fully recovered, to death.
Although the other one's thick shell was not completely broken, it finally could not withstand Zhang Xiaoyuan's relentless heavy punches. After letting out a scream, its body was blown apart in mid-air.
"It's just the two of you left."
Zhang Xiaoyuan looked at the silver ant monster whose head had become pointed again, grinned, and took the [Elf Shooter] out of her backpack.
The Silver Ant Beast's power level reached its maximum, at 420 points.
Although its defense was pitifully low compared to other monsters of the same level, at only 100 points, Zhang Xiaoyuan was unable to break through the opponent's pointed head attack and therefore could not harm the Silver Ant Monster.
However, the statue of "Elf Shooter" was originally an elven warrior who had reached level 80 and was a powerful being.
Even though his strength was greatly weakened when Zhang Xiaoyuan turned him into a statue, the statue he formed was still very hard.
Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't have a shield, but using this to block the silver ant monster's pointed head attack would be quite suitable.
"Squeak!"
Seeing their companion killed, the two silver ant monsters roared in anger and charged towards Zhang Xiaoyuan at lightning speed.
Although they didn't understand why Zhang Xiaoyuan, whose aura had weakened, had become powerful again, they believed that as long as the queen ant existed, they would be invincible!
shhhhh!
As the two silver ant monsters approached, Zhang Xiaoyuan tensed up. When the two were less than five meters apart, Zhang Xiaoyuan moved the arm holding the elf statue.
He swung the elven statue violently, colliding with the rapidly charging silver ant monster, while another monster raised its fist to counter.
Bang!
Zhang Xiaoyuan felt a tingling numbness in the arm holding the statue, while the silver ant monster opposite him was in even worse shape, with cracks appearing on its pointed head and silvery-white liquid flowing out.
The silver ant monster screamed in agony as its head split open, its forelimbs clutching its head as it rolled wildly on the ground.
After colliding with another silver ant monster, Zhang Xiaoyuan was pushed back two meters.
He picked up the statue and looked at the base, finding no trace left, and was immediately relieved.
If a level 50 monster could damage his treasure that can kill a level 80 beast king, that would be a huge loss.
The other silver ant monster was stunned to see its companion like this.
However, Zhang Xiaoyuan had no intention of letting him go. She swung her fist at the elf statue, quickly smashing the silver ant monster flat, and silvery-white liquid flowed out from its cracked forehead.
"What are these?"
Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned, and was about to squat down to use the data panel to identify the liquid when the Qingyan Vine on her wrist shot out with a "whoosh," its target being the silvery-white liquid.
"Ok?"
After the Qingyan Vine came into contact with the silvery-white liquid, it did not swim around in the small puddles as before, but instead began to absorb it directly.
In no time, it absorbed the two silvery-white liquids completely, leaving only a little residue in the crevices of the carapace.
Zhang Xiaoyuan used the data panel to identify it and found that it was a mid-grade material called [Silver Essence].
Similar to the topaz formed from gold essence when the [Earth Guardian] skill was first obtained, it is a product formed from silver ore after years of changes in the earth's veins, and has the characteristic of increasing sharpness.
The Silver Ant Beast's exceptionally powerful attack is closely related to this [Silver Essence].
Zhang Xiaoyuan was unaware that the Green Rock Vine was already evolving into a food ingredient. What effect would absorbing silver essence, which increased its sharpness, have? Was it to increase the sharpness of its tip, making it easier to suck blood?
Without the protection of the silver ants and black ant monsters, Zhang Xiaoyuan was no longer hindered when she stepped into this complex underground labyrinth again.
He marched straight ahead, and when a wall blocked his way, he smashed it with a single punch.
Along the way, he saw some unusual caves, some containing dried meat, some containing dead ant eggs, and some containing…
More often, they were low-level black ant monsters lying on the ground, their bodies shriveled and lifeless.
Zhang Xiaoyuan noticed that their auras were somewhat similar to those of the black ant and silver ant monsters, and guessed that these low-level monsters might be helping the black ant and silver ant monsters he was fighting to prolong their lives.
As he ventured deeper, he sensed an aura distinct from that of the black ant monsters.
The wall shattered with a crash, and the queen ant finally appeared before Zhang Xiaoyuan.
At this moment, however, the queen ant lacked the majesty of a tribal leader; she was lifeless, her vitality exhausted, and she was about to die.
When the queen ant saw Zhang Xiaoyuan arrive, she did not resist. Instead, she quietly closed her eyes and waited for her impending death.
"Want to die? Then I'll grant your wish."
A strange glint flashed in Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes, and she unleashed a destructive punch.
