When the critical point is reached, if the queen ant eats even one bite, the fetal eggs accumulated in her abdomen will explode.
"Then what do we do now?"
"Wait, the queen ant has reached the critical point, and the finisher should be coming soon."
After all, Hero's wait was not in vain.
Just when the two of them had been waiting for a short time, there was a loud noise from above the cave.
A huge hole was opened in the dome of the cave.
But when the broken stones fell into the air, they were held up by an invisible force and pushed aside.
"The focus is really on the queen. This man is afraid that the gravel will smash the queen's abdomen, so he doesn't dare to take any risks."
Above the dome.
A man covered in black robe jumped down into the hole.
The iron ant colonies that sensed the enemy's invasion of their territory became restless.
Before the man landed, many iron ants climbed up the surrounding rock walls.
"Without the ability to sense souls, it would be impossible to tell whether he is a magician or an apprentice from such a distance."
He Luo secretly clicked his tongue, he must subscribe to a soul-perception technique this time when he goes back.
When he jumped down, Hero also saw two people in his hands who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
"Two? Are they the two apprentice magicians that Wright perceived before?"
Fortunately, Wright and the others were not caught.
But... regardless of life or death, this person captured two apprentices with more than three years of experience in a very short period of time, and his strength is terrifying.
If he were an apprentice, Hero would still have a chance.
But if you are a level magician...
He is no longer the ignorant boy. The knowledge he learned in the tower during this period made him understand that even the most rubbish level magician is not something that an apprentice can resist.
But now he didn't dare to move, for fear of attracting the man's attention.
I saw the man throwing the two people in his hands aside like rubbish and just stayed there.
Holo clearly felt that he was wondering about something.
But I saw that man starting to clean up the messy scene again - the iron ant colony!
Those fully formed iron ants were squeaking and screaming under Byrne's wind soul arrows, and the large pincers in their mouthparts were shaking like tigers.
But in that person's hands, they were like children's toys.
There was no movement from him, and the iron ants were suppressed tightly, unable to move at all.
Even the mouthparts couldn't be closed, and they could only make sizzling sounds of pain.
The mysterious man began to circle, and every time he passed an iron ant, an invisible hammer would smash its head.
The silver bottle breaks and the water slurries out!
Globs of fishy green brain fluid were everywhere.
Soon, all the iron ants were killed by him.
Facing the death of her group, the immobile queen ant can only make sad and feeble insect sounds.
"Damn it, we are no match for this method at all. Even if Norma and the others come, it will be for nothing! Let's go!"
What Byrne watched from above was thrilling.
The mysterious man cleared out the iron ant colony too easily.
But Hero didn't seem to hear what he said, and still lay at the entrance of the cave, motionless, without even an expression.
If Byrne could connect to Holo's mind, he would know what Holo was thinking.
"Module! Module! Still a module! Soul fragments!"
In Holo's eyes, it's in the cave below.
Where the iron ant colony died, the ground was covered with modules! There were also dense white worms floating in the air.
"Bic! Piccolo!"
Seeing that Holo didn't respond, Byrne thought he had been frightened, so he pushed Holo's head carefully.
"Byrne! Don't be anxious, good things always come at the end!"
Even if there are no modules and soul fragments, those iron ant remains are still good materials and can be sold for a lot of money. What reason does he have to leave?
The mysterious man cleared away all the iron queen ants, walked slowly to the queen, and kicked away the corpse of the magician.
"Do you want to do it directly? I thought there would be some kind of ceremony!"
Hero muttered that he had suffered the disadvantages of the ritual, but he also knew its benefits.
At this moment, Hero felt a weak magnetic field sweep across his body.
Feeling numb all over.
Zhi~zhi~zhi!
Before Holo and Byrne could check on his physical condition.
The mysterious man below roared angrily:
"Who?! Who's here?!!"
Hero thought they had been discovered by someone, and was about to run back, but found that the person didn't even look this way.
I don’t know where, a sinister and evil voice floated out:
"Marquis! It's not easy to lure you out of the tower. How about it? The shielding strength of the [vortex magnetic field] is strong enough! Can spiritual energy still be manifested? Hehehe~"
"[Vortex Magnetic Field]? In order to shield my soul magic, are you willing to spend three thousand soul coins to buy such a disposable pseudo-horcrux? Hall!!"
The mysterious man lifted the hood that concealed his face and looked around, but found no enemies hiding in the darkness.
"That's not all. In order to lure you out, I specially bought 30,000 slaves and fed their flesh and blood to the queen ant. Who do you think this is a task for? If you don't spend money, how can you guarantee that you will get the essence of the queen?
How about getting out of the tower?"
"You want to settle the grudge? That's it? What other methods do you have?"
"Hey, there are many ways to do it, just enjoy it!"
...
Hero was confused: "Is that Marquis from the [Spiritual Tower]?"
Byrne was suspicious: "It should be that [Spiritual Embodiment] is the secret method of [Spiritual Tower], and Scorpion Baba is the only one who has it!"
Hero continued to wonder: "What about the old Yin coin hiding in the dark?"
Byrne was a little unsure: "Well...it looks like our [Moon Tower]..."
Holo was indignant: "Why? If you can't see the weird soul skills, consider it our [Moon Tower], and you see his soul skills are so evil! It's shameful to be associated with him!"
Byrne guessed to himself: "Ghoul alienation... is indeed the soul technique of our tower."
Hero was trembling with anger: "Can't we have other towers? When will we stand up! When will we get rid of this fixed thinking!"
Byrne strengthened himself: "Well...that's right! I feel the plague from them! I feel the disaster! He must be the broomstick astromancer of [Calamity Tower]!"
Even if the two people below are not magicians, they are definitely magician apprentices who have completed their ten-year term.
Each soul spell performed was too violent.
From the pits around the cave, zombie monsters crawling on all fours continuously emerged.
This kind of humanoid monster whose skin and muscles are completely corrupted, but still retains a trace of elasticity.
The fangs that sprouted from the lips of rotten flesh were extremely sharp, and there was a glimmer of light in the darkness.
Whether it is the surface of the body, the teeth, or the slender but very useful claws, there is a layer of black soul energy attached to it.
A discerning person would know at a glance that the thing was untouchable and must contain some kind of toxin.
If the caster has adequate knowledge, it may even be some kind of soul toxin.
On Marquis' side, due to the shielding of the [Vortex Magnetic Field], the spiritual soul spell cannot be used at all.
My strength has been reduced to seven or eight, and I can only parry in a panic. The soul spells I occasionally use are not very powerful. I need to fight with the corpse for three to five rounds to kill it.
It's just that the number of ghouls is increasing. As they are slowly surrounded, it takes a lot of time to kill a single ghoul.
And just when the two were entangled.
The queen ant, which was already extremely weak, let out its last cry.
The abdomen began to show irregular and large-scale peristalsis.
This move made Marquis, who was in trouble, obviously happy.
The other old Yin Coin seemed to be a little anxious, and the speed at which the corpses came out of the hole gradually increased.
'boom!'
Countless amounts of green slime were blown up all over the cave, everywhere.
Countless iron ant eggs rolled down all over the ground, and some were still beating in their egg membranes, indicating that the iron ants inside were still alive.
This is the bloodline that the queen ant spent her last bit of life for the tribe.
But most of the fetal eggs have died. They have stayed in the queen's belly for too long and have been suffocated to death.
And among the countless eggs, there is a red ball that is different from ant eggs.
Marquis was ecstatic: "Queen Ant Essence!"
The eerie thing hiding in the dark screamed: "Damn ant! It's too early to die!"
