Chapter 614 Chimera Ants (10)

As soon as we arrived at this nest, I had the others put out a few torches.

Though I knew that it wouldn't really help since the ants would be using chemosense in the first place, it would at least make the others a bit more relieved since they didn't know that.

As we reached the end of this tunnel, I had them stay back while I peeked my head into the room in front of us.

This was a room that was quite large and filled with strange columns, but what caught my attention was the large nest that was right in the center of the room. On top of that nest was an ant that was clearly different from the rest.

First was the size of this ant.

It was more than three times larger than the other ants.

Second was the strange thing that was on the head of this ant.

There was this thing that seemed like a crown that was on the head of this ant, but it didn't seem like it was an accessory that was made of something else. It seemed like this was some kind of growth that was coming out of the head of this ant.

This was clearly the queen ant since I could even see that she was still laying more eggs.

After identifying the queen ant, I quickly looked around the room to see just how many ants were in here.

As expected, there were only a few ants that were wandering around this place.

With the people that I had brought, it was enough to take care of these ants.

So after scouting out the room, I turned back to the others to lay out my plan.

When I was done, they all looked at me as if they thought that I was crazy.

All I did was give a nod as if I was confirming that this was indeed the plan that we were going to use.

They really didn't know what to say, but Cecilia asked, "Are you certain that you'll be able to take care of the queen ant on your own?"

I gave a strong nod as I said, "I have a secret way of handling the queen ant as long as I can get to her. Once I take care of that, it will be easy for us to take care of the remaining ants."

There were many looks of doubt that were aimed in my direction, so I added, "If we don't do this, what do you think will happen once the ants finish off the Vikal Kingdom army?"

The looks of doubt on their faces turned ugly when they heard this.

Right, once those ants finished taking care of the enemy, wouldn't they come back here?

There was no way out for us unless we did something about the ants that were outside. Once they finished off the Vikal Kingdom army, then they would come back to where the queen ant was.

They would come back here and finish us off.

So the only path forward was to follow my lead.

But there were some looks of blame that were aimed in my direction because of this.

After all, if it wasn't for me, would that ants have even been stirred in the first place?

No, I was the one that had led the Vikal Kingdom army here for them to be slaughtered by these ants.

Still…

"If you have time to blame me, then you have time to think about your survival. Think of how you will defeat these ants here and make your way out of here."

I just said in a calm voice, without a single care for the looks that they gave me.

Their expressions slowly changed before settling on determined looks that were much better than the looks that they had before. At the very least, they were determined to make it out of this place alive.

With that, we were ready.

Cecilia and Shaka were the ones that took the lead, forming two different groups.

As soon as they entered the room, they split off in two different directions.

They didn't head straight forward, but rather slightly to the side. It was as if they were cutting the diagonal to reach the sides of the room. But even then, they didn't go all the way as they stopped in the middle.

Once they stopped, they formed two different lines on either side of the center of this cave.

With the way that they were positioned, it seemed like they were creating a path.

Well, it was a path.

They were creating a path for me to reach the queen ant.

Since we had appeared in the room so suddenly, the ants weren't able to react in time to stop us.

It was only after we had formed this line that the ants finally reacted.

It was also during this time that I made a mad dash at the queen ant that was sitting atop the hive.

The queen ant looked like it was panicking as it turned its head back and forth, almost as if it was trying to command the ants around it to protect it. However, the line did its job and prevented the ants from reaching the queen.

The main line that was around the ant queen was led by Shaka and even without the help of others, Shaka was able to push back most of the ants alone.

However, it was clear that this wouldn't last long since I could see the green glow that was around him.

Shaka did not hold back at all as he used all of his power to block the ants.

He was doing this because he believed in me and that I would have a solution to get us out of this.

So I ran even faster at the queen ant.

The queen ant could see that there were no soldier ants that could help it, so it started to move as if it wanted to run.

It was just too bad that the queen ant was too heavy to move properly.

In the end, I was able to reach the queen ant and stand right in front of her.
