Free Web NovelChapter 1850: Chapter 1850: Ant King Army
Sikong Yu turned his head to look into the distance, the overwhelming ant army was advancing like a dark cloud, much stronger than the fire ants in the Valley of Life and Death before.
Li Feng separated from his trusted aide, moving toward the ant army close to the ground, and as the distance narrowed, he saw the ant army, dark as clouds.
On the ground, groups of Giant King Ants formed into phalanxes like heavy cavalry, then surged forward like a tide.
Each phalanx had tens of thousands of ants, and at a glance, there were no less than hundreds of phalanxes forming wave-like lines.
The Giant King Ant army was like a rolling flood, and the sky, filled with Flying King Ants, was equally numerous, at least numbering over a million, turning the entire backdrop a fiery red.
These two types of King Ants, Li Feng had witnessed before. The Giant King Ant was a sturdy tank, like heavy cavalry, while the Flying King Ant was the agile air force, complementing each other perfectly.
Yet within this colossal Ant King Army, Li Feng also saw War Giant Beasts, tens or hundreds of times larger than the Giant King Ants. These beasts were armored, resembling pangolins.
They were the war beasts trained by the ant army.
Mountain-piercing Beast.
Not only were there Mountain-piercing Beasts capable of traversing mountains, but also many kinds of ant race vassals within the ant army, domesticated as war tools by the ant race.
Don’t underestimate the ant army as mindless insects, quite the opposite; the ant race can be considered as the fourth race beyond humans, demon clan, and demon beasts.
It’s just that the ant race hasn’t yet dominated any territory, so nobody considers them an individual force.
But one fact remains; the ant race has a complete social division of labor and a unique social system.
The Ant Queen holds an unchallenged status because the entire ant colony is birthed by her, and beneath the queen are numerous Ant King commanders, including the queen’s guards, major Ant King armies, followed by the larger worker ants.
The fighting ability of the Ant Queen is not strong, but her Ant King Army unequivocally demonstrates her power.
When the overwhelming Ant King Army deploys, sheer numbers are enough to make one’s scalp tingle; of course, against top-level experts, this massive ant army might be useless, but such top-level experts are few.
Li Feng gazed at the enormous ant army; the Giant King Ants on the ground were no less than a million, with another million Flying King Ants in the sky, dozens of huge Mountain-piercing Beasts, and some smaller ant race armies trailing behind, numbering at least a hundred thousand.
Moreover, these ants are not the small fire ants of Life and Death Valley; even the most agile Flying King Ant is the size of a basketball, while the Giant King Ant is as big as a calf. Such a massive army moving is like the roar of the sea.
The fact is, the endless army is like a torrent capable of flattening anything in its path.
Previously, facing an ant tribe less than ten thousand, there was no certainty of victory, until Bi Fang resolved the crisis; now, the number is fifty times greater than before.
Li Feng took a deep breath and tapped his toe to rise into the air, hovering directly in front of the rolling torrent.
Li Feng swept his gaze over the immense ant army ahead, drew the King Sword from his hand, and swung it at the ground. Instantly, the domineering Sword Qi swept across, carving a sword scar hundreds of meters long into the soil.
"Cross this line, and you will be killed without mercy."
Li Feng didn’t care if the ants understood; they likely did not. But he wasn’t actually speaking to them, but to those among the ants capable of comprehending.
Only when one’s strength reaches a certain level can they communicate with other races, at least spiritually.
Sure enough, before Li Feng’s voice faded.
A wave of spiritual energy exploded in Li Feng’s mind.
"Huh, a mere human dares to be arrogant before my invincible ant army? Are you tired of living?"
"This human has a nice smell, such a delicious-looking prey."
"Human, do you think you can stand against us alone?"
Soon, chaotic spiritual waves reverberated in Li Feng’s consciousness, evidently from various ant race commanders. In terms of power, many of these Ant King commanders had reached the Golden Core level.
And the numbers weren’t small.
Almost every ant army of ten thousand had such a commander, often more than one, with over a hundred Ant King commanders assembled here.
"If you don’t believe me, you can try."
Li Feng coldly chuckled, raising the King Sword, facing the ant race’s million-strong army.
Meanwhile, in the sky, within a palace suspended by thousands of Flying Ants, an Ant Queen in human form lazily reclined on a soft couch, raising a delicate hand, summoning an Ant King attendant.
"Your Majesty."
"Is he the human man who obliterated my billions of ants in Life and Death Valley?" The Ant Queen lifted her eyes, seemingly seeing Li Feng suspended in mid-air through numerous Flying King Ants.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The ants in Life and Death Valley were mostly low-level worker ants, but numbering in the billions, they could overshadow the sky; being annihilated demonstrates the strength of this human.
"Send a legion to meet him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Ant Queen’s attendant stepped down, transmitting the message using the ant race’s methods; soon, an aerial Flying King Ant army received the order.
The Ant Queen’s command was supreme to the ant race.
Immediately, under the commander’s lead, tens of thousands of Flying King Ants flew out from the army.
Li Feng watched the incoming Flying King Ant legion; tens of thousands, though a mere fraction compared to the ant race army, for Li Feng, it was an overwhelming numerical advantage.
The advantage of the Flying King Ants lay in agility, their attack methods nothing special, spraying ant acid and close-range biting.
Besides that is their numerical advantage.
Li Feng faced the swarming Flying King Ant legion, directly swinging the King Sword, wielding powerful Sword Qi with overwhelming Sword Pressure to sweep the approaching ant army.
However, the rapid dispersal and gathering of the Flying King Ants minimized Li Feng’s Sword Qi damage, as the Ant King commander didn’t care about dozens or hundreds of losses.
The Flying King Ant legion wasn’t like the fire ants of Life and Death Valley, who attacked blindly without understanding tactics; they spread out like a fishing net, encircling Li Feng from all directions.
Though Li Feng’s Sword Qi was sharp, facing tens of thousands of ants felt a bit isolated.
In no time.
The massive ant army closed in from all sides on Li Feng.
The Ant Queen, reclining on the soft couch, glanced at this scene, her lips curling in disdain: "Is that all?"
"I thought he had something special, merely a human claiming nobility through the Vermilion Bird Bloodline."
