Chapter 2848 The Queen Ant's Maternal Radiance

In the territory of the giant ant tribe.

Ant Commander sat high in his seat, his face grim, and kept tapping the chair with his hand.

Not long ago, he sensed a strange fluctuation and realized that Ant had been killed.

As the ancestral bodies of the giant ant clan, they naturally had a telepathic connection. Although he didn't know where the ant general was when he died, he was able to clearly sense the ant general's death.

"who is it!"

Ant Commander uttered a low, self-questioning murmur.

The ant general chased after the ant queen, but the ant queen was certainly not capable of killing the ant general.

Could it be that the queen ant found helpers and together they killed the ant general?

He was filled with mixed emotions and felt that things were not so simple.

Just then, a scout ant returned.

"Master, I have located the queen ant. She is seriously injured and is currently heading towards the giant ant clan."

"what!"

Ant Commander immediately stood up.

The queen ant was injured and then rushed towards the giant ant colony.

what happened!
The queen ant has returned at this moment; could it be that she has encountered some terrifying opponent?

"Do you know who injured the queen ant?"

"I don't know."

"Under investigation!"

The scout ant quickly left, while the ant commander's eyes flickered, as if deep in thought.

Before long, the queen ant returned.

As you can see, the queen ant is weak and severely injured, and her life is likely nearing its end.

"Ant Commander, save me! Ant Commander, save me!" The Ant Queen stumbled and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing the queen ant in such a state, the ant commander immediately stepped forward to help her up.

He paid close attention and quietly investigated, and was shocked to find that the queen ant was seriously injured.

Moreover, he did not sense the presence of the ant general from the queen ant, meaning that the queen ant did not take action against the ant general.

"What happened!" Ant Commander asked quickly.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Let me return to my original body to heal. If I don't return to my original body to heal, I may suffer permanent damage."

As the queen ant spoke, she hurried off to her dwelling.

Seeing this, the ant commander did not ask any further questions, because he clearly understood the importance of the queen ant to the entire giant ant clan.

The queen ant must not be left with permanent damage, because the entire giant ant colony needs to consume the queen's blood essence to awaken its own bloodline.

He followed closely in the footsteps of the queen ant and arrived at her ant house.

Upon seeing its own body beneath it, the queen ant immediately took refuge within it and then activated its magic to begin healing.

The Ant Commander did not disturb the Ant Queen, but stood calmly beside her, protecting her.

He had many questions in his mind: Why was the ant queen injured? Had he seen the ant general? Did he know who killed the ant general?

Despite having many questions in his mind, he refrained from asking them and instead waited quietly for the queen ant to heal.

This treatment lasted for more than half a month.

Finally, the queen ant finished healing and temporarily stabilized her injuries.

"Queen Ant, what happened?" Ant Commander asked impatiently.

The queen ant looked at the ant commander and said with lingering fear, "Do you know something?"

"what's up?"

"Mythical Arena!"

"The Mythical Arena!" Ant Commander's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, you encountered an outsider, which is why you were injured."

"That's right, I encountered outsiders. Someone recognized my identity as the Seven-Colored Fairy Ant and wanted to suppress me and take me away to make pills. I fought back desperately. In the end, fortunately, there were many people fighting over me, and I escaped in the chaos. But I was still injured by them and almost died."

The queen ant's eyes were filled with fear, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if just recalling the situation had filled her with terror.

The ant commander, seeing the terrified queen ant, did not believe her words.

"You've encountered an ant general!"

"Ant general? We haven't encountered him!" The ant queen appeared completely unaware.

"You really didn't see the ant general?" The ant commander was somewhat skeptical of what the ant queen said.

"Of course I haven't seen the Ant General. If I had, with his strength, he would have protected me and wouldn't have let me get hurt," the Ant Queen said earnestly.

Ant Commander was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

He desperately wanted to know who had killed the ant general.

Could it be that an outsider intervened and killed the ant general?
He calculated the time, and it was indeed the day the Mythical Arena would open.

Generally speaking, on the day the Mythical Arena opens, the Giant Ant Clan will activate a grand formation to seal their territory in order to prevent interference from outsiders.

But because the queen ant escaped, he forgot about it.

He felt a deep sense of regret at the ant general's death, but since it had already happened, he wouldn't pursue it. For him, the most important thing was to stabilize the giant ant clan as a whole and not let this incident affect the ancestor's slumber.

He didn't intend to pursue the matter further, and instead prepared to activate the giant ant clan's grand formation, covering the entire giant ant clan territory.

"Ant Commander, what happened?" the Ant Queen suddenly asked.

The Ant Commander looked at the Ant Queen and said, "The Ant General has been killed."

"what!"

The queen ant feigned surprise!
"How could someone as powerful as Ant General be killed? What happened? Who did it? Could it be that an outsider intervened and killed Ant General?"

Seeing the queen ant's surprised expression, the ant commander realized that she had never seen the ant general before.

"I have no intention of pursuing the death of the ant general."

As Ant Commander spoke, he got up and left the house, heading towards the place where the formation was activated.

The queen ant did not stop the commander from leaving.

After a short while, the queen ant raised her hand and waved it, and Zheng Tuo appeared in the house.

"Owner!"

The queen ant was extremely respectful to Zheng Tuo.

"The performance was excellent."

Zheng Tuo encouraged the queen ant's performance, then looked around.

According to the queen ant, there was a formation in the room that trapped him, which prevented her from easily leaving the room.

and so.

To get the queen ant to leave this room, the formation here needs to be broken.

The ancestor of the giant ant clan was also skilled in the art of formations, but Zheng Tuo had absolute confidence in his own art of formations, after all, he was a disciple of the Earth God.

The Earth God is a powerful being who breaks through his own limitations by using the Dao of Array Formations, becoming a self-breaking being.

If he lacks confidence in this, he would truly be letting down his years of cultivation in the art of formations.

and so.

He began to measure the entire room, searching for a way to break the formation.

at the same time.

outside world.

Jiuli'er strolled through the mountains and forests.

She moved with light steps, like an elf, roaming among the mountains and rivers.

She appeared carefree, but in reality, she was breaking through the formation.

correct.

Jiuli'er was also breaking the formation, but Zheng Tuo was breaking the formation that imprisoned the queen ant's room, while Jiuli'er was breaking the super formation that protected the entire giant ant clan.

As a direct disciple of the Earth God, Jiu Li'er's mastery of formations was clearly superior to Zheng Tuo's. Therefore, the most difficult formation to break, the Giant Ant Clan's formation, was entrusted to Jiu Li'er for deciphering. Jiu Li'er's interest in this greatly increased.

Her favorite thing was studying formations, so how could she not be excited to have such an opportunity?

She moved with light steps, leaping among the mountains, waters, and winds, sensing the trajectory of the formation in this place.

at the same time.

After leaving the queen ant's room, the ant commander arrived at the core of the entire giant ant clan's formation.

He prepared to activate the giant ant formation to protect the entire giant ant territory from interference by outsiders.

however.

During the activation of the grand formation, Ant Commander was astonished to find that there was no reaction whatsoever.

what happened?

Although Ant Commander had some understanding of the great formation, it was only a superficial understanding and he did not know the whole picture.

now.

He frowned slightly when he realized that the great formation could not be activated.

Could it be that something has gone wrong with the grand formation?

Ant Commander immediately left the location of the array's core and went outside to check the entire array for any signs of damage.

Such things as the formation being destroyed have happened before.

There are many creatures active around the territory of the giant ant clan. These creatures may have unintentionally damaged certain parts of the formation, and he can go there to repair them.

He got up and, following the pattern of the formation, began to investigate the giant ant formation.

Along the way, Ant Commander did not see anything amiss. The formation was set up without any problems. In the end, after his inspection, he found that the entire formation was intact and there were no signs of damage.

strange?
Ant Commander was completely puzzled!

The entire giant ant formation showed no signs of damage, so why couldn't it be activated? Could it be that there was a problem with the core?

He immediately returned to the location of the array's core and continued his investigation. At the same time, he summoned some powerful members of the giant ant clan who understood array formations and sent them out to investigate where the problem lay.

Just as Ant Commander was investigating the giant ant formation, Jiu Li'er witnessed it all.

The giant ant clan's formation was indeed mysterious, but it had existed for a very long time. In her opinion, if the giant ant formation had just been established, she might have had some difficulty breaking it. However, this formation had existed for far too long, and the entire formation was old and full of flaws, so she could break it with ease.

even.

She was very disappointed with the fact that the formation had been broken this time.

I had thought I had encountered a formation that would interest me, but now it seems that everything is so simple and boring.

With that thought in mind, she waited for her senior brother Zheng Tuo to give her a signal.

After her senior brother broke the formation that imprisoned the queen ant, she cooperated with him from the outside to leave the place.

In their senior brother's plan, they would not directly engage the giant ant clan; their task was to help the queen ant escape from this place, which was the most important thing.

Thinking it over to myself, I waited quietly.

Simultaneously.

Zheng Tuo measured inside the queen ant's room, searching for any flaws in the formation in order to break it.

The whole process was not complicated, because this was not the first time Zheng Tuo had done something like this.

He had a lot of experience with this kind of thing, and now that he had broken through the formation, he quickly found the weakness of the formation.

"I see!"

After finding the weakness of the formation, Zheng Tuo immediately took action and began to break the formation.

The queen ant watched intently from the side, but couldn't understand anything and could only wait quietly.

Not long after.

hum!
A fluctuation emanated from the room's array, and then the portal that had been blocking the queen ant from leaving slowly opened.

"Success!"

The queen ant was overjoyed to see the door open, and she danced with excitement.

This time, the opening of the door was different from before. It was like being reborn. She was about to leave the room that had imprisoned her for thousands of years and gain true freedom.

With a sense of trepidation, the queen ant stepped out of the house.

The sunlight shone on her beautiful face, and for the first time, she truly understood the meaning of the word "warmth."

brush!
A sound like something cutting through the air could be heard.

The Ant Commander appeared before the Ant Queen, looking at her with utter bewilderment.

"How did you get out?!" Ant Commander was completely puzzled.

The room's protective array has malfunctioned. What happened?

The giant ant formation malfunctioned, and the room's formation also malfunctioned. Clearly, the simultaneous occurrence of these two events indicates a problem.

"I don't know what happened either!" the queen ant said innocently.

"go back."

The ant commander, in a deep voice, rebuked the queen ant, ordering her to return to her dwelling.

“Ant Commander, the formation that imprisoned me is now ineffective, and I will not leave the Giant Ant Clan. After all, the outside world is so dangerous. Just let me walk around and take a look at the Giant Ant Clan. I have been in the Giant Ant Clan for a long time, but I have never really seen the whole picture of the Giant Ant Clan.”

The queen ant's words were full of pleading, but the ant commander still wanted to tell her to go back.

But upon closer reflection, the room where the queen ant was imprisoned was no longer protected by any array, so it was meaningless whether the queen ant returned or not. It would be better to let the queen ant move freely, and then he would accompany her later.

Thinking of this, he nodded.

"I'll walk with you."

The Ant Commander followed the Ant Queen, who genuinely wanted to see the entirety of the giant ant race she had nurtured for thousands of years.

As for Zheng Tuo, he is currently hiding on the ant queen, ready to help her escape from this place at any time.

Accompanied by the ant commander, the queen ant observed the entire giant ant colony.

however.

The queen ant, who initially intended to escape, gradually changed her mindset during the observation process.

what is that!
The scene the queen ant saw was completely different from what she had imagined the giant ant race to be.

The entire giant ant colony showed no signs of vitality; what she saw were rotting giant ant colonies everywhere.

She saw the giant ant tribe working busily without stopping.

All the giant ants had lifeless eyes, as if they were being controlled like puppets.

Her arrival immediately attracted the attention of many giant ant tribe members.

"The Queen Ant!"

A giant ant emitted such a spiritual fluctuation, and immediately afterward, all the giant ants in the surrounding area stopped what they were doing.

The light that was previously invisible to them now begins to twinkle like stars.

The queen ant holds an unparalleled and exalted position in the hearts of the giant ant colony, because in the minds of the giant ant colony, everything they do is for the queen ant, not for the ancestor of the giant ant colony.

even.

Among the giant ant tribe, no one knew that the ancestor of the giant ant tribe was still alive.

Because the Ant General and Ant Commander had already told everyone that the ancestor of the Giant Ant Clan had died on the way to break through the barrier, and everything they were doing now, the suffering and torment they were enduring, was for the Queen Ant.

This idea has been deeply rooted in the giant ant tribe for thousands of years.

now.

Upon seeing the arrival of the queen ant, the entire giant ant clan immediately knelt down in worship.

Their enormous bodies, like small mountains, kneel here, solemn and dignified.

Seeing this scene, the queen ant was deeply moved.

Because her blood flows in the veins of all these giant ants.

That call from blood kin inspired the queen ant with an unprecedented maternal glow.

The queen ant looked at her children, tears welling in her eyes and in her heart.

At that moment, a crazy yet reasonable idea appeared in the queen ant's mind.
