The deepest part of the ant nest.

A psychic power full of chaos enveloped the place, and countless flesh essences and ores submerged most of the pupae wrapped in the Fermi ant queen. There were Formi ant guards patrolling around the pupa.

suddenly.

The psychic power belonging to the Fermi ant queen became violent, and the Fermi ant guards guarding the surroundings heard the angry roar from the ant queen.

"Guard, tell me why all the psychic links in the larvae have disappeared. What happened while I was sleeping?"

"Queen ant, there are intruders who entered the ant nest. They blew up the incubation room and all the larvae were killed."

The pair of antennae on the head of the Formian guard trembled rapidly, transmitting the message to the queen.

"Damn it, how did you put the intruder into the ant nest?" The Queen ant asked angrily in the minds of the Formian ant guards.

"In order to search for flesh essence and ore, a large number of ant troops have been sent out. Now the defense force of the ant nest is seriously insufficient. Dear Queen Ant, would you like to call back all the troops outside to protect your safety?"

"No need, they are just a group of adventurers who are not even above the extraordinary level." The queen ant said calmly after reading the images sent by the guards, "Let the soldier ants and worker ants continue to look for what I want. Pass my order, the ant nest

The guard troops in the army led those adventurers here, and I want to deal with them myself!"

"Guard, come in front of me and let me give you new power."

"Power from the abyss!"

As the Queen Ant issued the order, the players suddenly found that the number of patrol ants they encountered dropped significantly. Sometimes they could not even see any patrol ants after walking around two or three corners.

But if they turn to another fork in the road, groups of soldier ants will appear and force them back to the original passage.

"Why do I have a feeling that these ants seem to be pushing us in one direction?"

Forced back to the original passage again, Li Chenxi spit on the ground and said somewhat depressedly.

"Even as a barbarian, you feel this way. It seems that I guessed it right. Those soldier ants are deliberately driving us to a certain place."

Ryan took off his helmet and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Little Lion, I think something is wrong with you. Is this considered racial discrimination?"

Li Chenxi glared at the wandering swordsman who was looking up to drink water, and said unhappily.

Why am I a barbarian?

Drink your water and eat your food?

"Everyone, please stop talking and take the time to rest. Maybe we will meet the Boss at the next intersection!"

Lu Yu showed his dignity as the captain and suppressed the conflicts in the team.

After a five-minute rest, the players moved on.

But more than half an hour had passed, and Lu Yu and the others still hadn't seen the end of the passage. They even occasionally walked back because they took the wrong fork, wasting a lot of time.

As they walked more, Li Chenxi and Ryan, who were leading the way, gradually became more careful. When turning, they learned to stretch their heads halfway to check the situation before walking.

After another turn, Li Chenxi stuck his head out to see what was going on as usual.

At first glance, Li Chenxi's body stiffened for a moment, then he quickly retracted his head, turned around and whispered to everyone: "Everyone, go back? There is someone in front of you."

"Ah? Is there someone?"

Ryan asked blankly? However, under Li Chenxi’s insistence, everyone retreated to the previous turn.

"We should be the first players to come to the ant nest? How could there be other players here?"

Everyone feels confused, even if the group is destroyed once? Their progress speed is one of the best among all players? How can there be people in the ant nest?

"I'm talking about people, humanoid monsters, not players."

Li Chenxi repeated it.

"Wait, stop talking? Someone is coming."

Did you hear Lu Yu’s reminder? Everyone hurriedly hid in the shadows and looked nervously at the corner of the passage.

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, a "person" really walked out from the corner. Although there was insufficient light in the ant nest, everyone still vaguely saw a standing figure.

This is definitely a humanoid creature, not an ant!

Faced with this situation? Everyone touched it back quietly. The situation is unknown? Don’t do anything yet.

When the players looked in the direction where the figure appeared again, they found that the figure quickly disappeared around the corner? No one even had time to see the name clearly.

"Weird! Why is there anyone in this place?"

Lu Yu also looked like he was scratching the back of his head? He murmured to himself in confusion.

Even Lu Yu, who is jokingly called the "humanoid encyclopedia" by everyone, doesn't know why? How could Ryan and the others imagine what was going on?

Judging from the monsters such as worker ants, soldier ants, and flying ants encountered along the way in the ant nest, these are obviously insectoid creatures, and there are no humanoid monsters at all.

There is a huge difference in body size between the Zerg and the human race, and Lu Yu and others cannot even tell this clearly.

"We only see humanoid monsters here. Do you think the queen of the ant nest is in this direction? After all, I always feel that humanoid monsters are always a little stronger than other monsters."

Fox offered his own opinion.

Lu Yu frowned depressedly, with a tangled look on his face. "Maybe, but we haven't even figured out whether this thing is a scholar or an insect. It's a bit too early to draw a conclusion now."

"Simple, just kill a guy like this and it's over!"

Li Chenxi waved the giant ax in his hand and said nonchalantly.

Sure enough, as Li Chenxi guessed, within ten minutes, the figure came back again.

"He's the only one, so I'll get in first!"

Li Chenxi shouted low and rushed forward with an axe.

"This guy, are all barbarians so brainless and reckless?"

Before he could complain about his teammates, Ryan also rushed forward.

"Pay attention to support and don't waste too many spell slots. There is a big guy behind you."

After exchanging words with the two spellcasters, Lu Yu also joined the battle.

As he got closer, Zong Ren finally saw this person clearly.

There are clearly enough features on its body. Its feet are horny insect long limbs, its nails are curved and sharp, its skin is also horny and shell-like, and the protruding bones on its hands bear traces of human bones.

There is a thorn on the body. The monster's head and face have more obvious human characteristics. The dark red head looks like wearing a horny helmet, and the face has exactly the same facial features as a human, including eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and mouth.

It is complete. The most obvious one is the two arthropod-like tentacles on its head.

This guy who resembled a "bug man" moved very fast in his hand, and thrust out the flaming spear in his hand repeatedly. Countless spear shadows were accompanied by flames flying everywhere, forcing Ryan and Li Chenxi to panic.

Fortunately, Lu Yu's support arrived, and the two of them managed to stabilize their position.

"What kind of monster is this guy and why is he so strong!"

With his swords crossed, Ryan barely blocked the opponent's thrust and said depressedly.

"I'm afraid this guy is at the extraordinary level. Please be careful, otherwise you will have to return to the city for free again!"

Ariels waved the mace in his hand and stood at the front, replacing the exhausted Li Chenxi.

Seeing his teammates being pressed and beaten, Fox, who was standing at the back of the team, ignored his heartache and decisively tore up a scroll.

——[Monster Holding Technique]!

A gray magical light hit the insect man's body.

Its body stiffened suddenly, and its entire movement stopped completely.

Test failed!

Obviously, this insect-man's perception did not pass the test of this fifth-ring spell and fell into a state of paralysis.

"Now, beat him!"

Ryan, who was suppressed and aggrieved, roared wildly, and the pair of rapiers in his hands frantically pointed at the opponent's joints. The other people would not let go of this opportunity to beat the drowned dog, and launched attacks one after another.

The insect man who recovered from the paralysis danced the spear in his hand into an afterimage, temporarily forcing back the frantically attacking players.

"Roar!"

The insect man who retreated looked at the large and small wounds on his body and let out a silent roar.

The two tentacles on its head danced, instantly sending out a cone-shaped wave of spiritual energy!

——[Psychic Blast]!

In the narrow passage, faced with such a sudden attack, the players had no choice but to avoid it.

Buzz——

All players felt at the same time as if their heads had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and their brains experienced severe dizziness, making them feel dizzy.

Fox, who was the weaker one in the team, even lowered his head and spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound.

Psychic profession?

Miscalculated!
