The level upgrade had significantly boosted Chi Lie's strength.
It also made the guy even more energetic, his dragon breath spewing continuously.
He even dropped a molten hell beneath his feet.
Scorching magma erupted from the ground, roasting hundreds of thousands of fire ants to death.
The battle raged on, tens of thousands of fire ants were quickly slain.
They turned into experience, flowing into the bodies of Su Ye, Chi Lie, and Xiao Gu.
Forty minutes later, the last fire ant on the ground was chopped in half by Su Ye.
A flash of light enveloped him, and Su Ye's level had reached level 6.
Name: Su Ye
Profession: Warrior
Rank: SSS
Level: 6
Command Power: 150
Health: 27500
Attack: 550
Defense: 300
Speed: 145
Equipment: Tian Lin Armor, Refined Iron Long Sword
Skills: Heavy Strike: Charge for one second, launch a powerful attack on the target, dealing 3.25x damage, 75% chance to stun. (This effect is ineffective against targets higher than your level).
Whirlwind Slash: Spin at incredible speed, unleashing a series of sword energy, dealing multiple damage to targets within the area.
Fearless Domain: Creates a 100-meter radius domain centered on yourself, increasing basic attributes of troops within the domain by 55% and providing immunity to high-level unit intimidation.
The slight attribute increase brought a sense of satisfaction to Su Ye.
Closing his attribute panel, Su Ye stepped over the mountain of fire ant corpses and stopped near the ant nest in front.
The so-called ant nest looked like a small mound, about ten meters in diameter.
There were several entrances around the mound, leading deep underground.
These were the passageways of the Crimson Armored Fire Ants.
In other words, the part of the Crimson Armored Fire Ant nest that was currently visible was just the tip of the iceberg.
The larger part was still buried deep underground.
Thinking of the terrifying nature of these little creatures, Su Ye felt a surge of interest.
If he could train the Crimson Armored Fire Ants as his troops, then...
Thinking this, Su Ye called Xiao Gu over.
The latter's health had fully recovered, and the small pits in his bones had also been filled in quite a bit.
Hearing Su Ye's command, he walked towards him.
"Dig this open," Su Ye pointed at the ant nest.
The blood-red flames in Xiao Gu's eyes flickered twice, and then he nodded.
He raised his huge bone claws and began digging.
Chi Lie watched from the side, snorting and puffing.
Su Ye kicked him: "Don't just stand there, go and help."
Chi Lie looked at Su Ye with a wronged expression, but he had to step forward and started digging alongside Xiao Gu, cough cough... excavating the ant nest.
The speed of these two miniature earth excavators was not slow, and they quickly leveled the small mound that protruded from the ground.
What appeared before Su Ye was an underground world.
Countless small passageways were spread throughout the depths of the ground.
Each of them was as thick as a water bucket.
These were the passageways of the Crimson Armored Fire Ants.
But now these guys were all dead.
Continuing to dig, a giant ant nest began to be exposed to the air.
After digging to a certain depth, a cave appeared.
It was not small, and it was filled with densely packed white ant eggs.
Each one was the size of an ostrich egg, densely packed throughout the cave. Roughly estimated, there were at least tens of thousands.
Chi Lie saw the ant eggs appear and immediately rejoiced, opening his mouth and biting, crunching them down his throat.
These were the insect eggs of the Crimson Armored Fire Ants, containing extremely pure energy.
Eating them would definitely have great benefits.
Chi Lie was eating happily, while Xiao Gu could only watch from the side.
He was only a skeleton, not even having intestines. He had no luck with such good stuff.
Su Ye stopped Chi Lie's eating and called the two guys to enlarge the cave.
If Su Ye wasn't mistaken, there should be a Queen Ant in this nest.
The only way to train a Crimson Armored Fire Ant unit was to find the Queen Ant.
"Search and see if there's a Queen Ant," Su Ye ordered.
Chi Lie looked at the delicious ant eggs with reluctance but had to continue expanding the cave according to Su Ye's instructions.
While they were expanding, Xiao Gu, who was facing away from Su Ye, suddenly let out a cry.
Su Ye quickly ran over and saw that another cave had appeared in front of Xiao Gu.
Inside this cave, lay a long, white, plump worm.
It was two meters long, with short limbs, and it was chubby all over. Sensing the approach of Su Ye and the others, it frantically moved its body trying to escape.
Su Ye threw a Detection skill at the plump worm.
[Crimson Armored Fire Ant Queen]
Rank: Fourth Rank
Level: 1
Health: 50000
Attack: 100
Defense: 50
Speed: 20
Skills: Eating: The Queen Ant can eat anything edible, converting it into nutrients to provide energy for herself.
Laying Eggs: Given enough energy supply, the Queen Ant's body will incubate ant eggs and lay them outside. An adult Queen Ant can lay at least two thousand eggs per day.
Description: The Queen Ant of the Crimson Armored Fire Ants, responsible for the production of the entire nest. As long as there is enough food supply, it can lay an enormous number of insect eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they will become Crimson Armored Fire Ants.
Seeing the information on the Queen Ant, Su Ye's eyes lit up.
This was it, as long as he controlled the Queen Ant, it was equivalent to controlling the entire fire ant population.
Then, when encountering enemies, encountering indestructible city walls, he could simply dispatch hundreds of thousands of fire ants.
It would take no time at all to dig the city walls into ruins.
Wouldn't sieging cities be much easier then?
"Take this thing back," Su Ye ordered.
Chi Lie nodded, and together with Xiao Gu, they carefully pulled the Queen Ant out of the cave.
Then Su Ye found some branches with leaves on them and wrapped the Queen Ant in them.
This was to protect the Queen Ant from harm.
Otherwise, with its defense of only fifty points, a slight scratch would likely break its body.
As for why he didn't directly put it into the Lord's Space, it was because the Lord's Space could not store living creatures.
To store them, he would need to obtain a treasure that allowed him to carry troops.
