I am very interested in the ability to read

Chapter 356 Cooperation

A small country in the northern part of the Ezhen continent, sandwiched between the Kingdom of Kajin and several other countries, a buffer zone where wars are frequent.

The desolate hills and mountains were rolling, and three bulletproof off-road vehicles were driving with a roar, leaving a trail of yellow dust. Finally, the three off-road vehicles drove to the foot of a towering mountain. After verifying their identities, the cave door disguised as a rock body was immediately opened slowly to both sides, allowing the convoy to enter one by one, and then slowly closed with a heavy sound.

From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary, desolate and bald peak, but the interior of the mountain has been transformed into a strict military base, with a guard post every ten steps and cameras in every corner. Through some of the doors that are not closed, you can see the sophisticated instruments in the room and the experts who are studying some samples.

The place with the highest security level in the base is like an empty natural cave. Deep in the cave is a strange creature in a special freezing device, an ant as big as a human.

Pariston stood in front of the freezer and watched quietly for a long time.

"Is this the queen ant?" a voice came from far away.

A young man walked out from the shadow of the cave. His long hair was casually tied into a bun and he was wearing a sports suit that was convenient for movement. Behind him, there were two guards, a man and a woman, in black suits.

The fourth prince, Chelidonich, walked over to Pariston and looked at the giant ant in the freezer with a scrutinizing look. "Is there really such a big chimera ant? How did it happen? I remember that only the chimera ant king can mate with other species to give birth to a queen ant. To be able to give birth to such a big queen ant, the ant king before it must have been quite big too?"

"It's not small, but not as big as this queen ant." Palliston said, "This queen ant was born to humans. Only with human blood mixed in can the queen ant have the rationality to communicate, right?"

"Oh?" The fourth prince became interested. "The ant king had a child with a woman? That's really interesting. Do you have a video? I'll take a look."

Pariston took out a black mobile phone from his arms, pressed a few buttons, and handed it to the fourth prince.

After the video started playing, there were audible sounds of insects and ants screeching, human women crying and screaming, and the chilling sound of flesh and blood squirming… The two private soldier guards standing behind the Fourth Prince had stern faces, trying not to show any unnecessary expressions.

The male private soldier Sargov secretly had a headache. How did things develop to this rhythm? Ever since the fourth prince learned to read, the prince's dark background seemed to be getting more and more disturbing. The captain of the private soldier Tita stared at the giant ant in the freezer that seemed to be hibernating. No one knew what she was thinking.

When the fourth prince was watching the surveillance video, Pariston also looked at him and recalled what happened two months ago. He had just become the vice president of the Hunter Association not long ago when Bi Yangde suddenly called and said, "Whatever your original plan was, it has to be advanced now, and there will be some changes."

"Oh?" Pariston was not opposed to the change of plan, but was very interested.

"There's a troublesome guy who heard about the Chimera Ants from somewhere. He also seems to be in urgent need of subordinates who are proficient in telepathy, so he set his sights on this..." Bi Yangde said impatiently on the phone, "If there's no problem on your end, I'll have him contact you. As for how to do it, you guys can do it yourselves and don't bother me anymore! Damn, two perverts..."

"We are in urgent need of subordinates who are proficient in Nen ability...Are you preparing for the battle for the throne in Kakin's tradition?"

Pariston looked at the fourth prince who was fast-forwarding the video. "Given the fourth prince's age, he is suddenly in urgent need of Nen subordinates. This means that he himself has only recently come into contact with Nen, so he did not have the awareness to cultivate Nen subordinates before... Judging from his eagerness to succeed, it seems that he does not have much confidence in the succession war that will start at any time. This is inconsistent with the fourth prince's personality as rumored... However, if he has only recently become a Nen user, and suddenly learned that other princes are already senior Nen users and have cultivated a large number of powerful Nen subordinates, it is not surprising that he suddenly has a strong sense of urgency... The only ones who can make the fourth prince feel pressured and catch up by any means, I think, are the other powerful princes above him? That is, the first, second, and third princes..."

These thoughts flashed through Pariston's mind for only a moment. The Fourth Prince had already finished watching the video. The content made his two private soldiers feel uncomfortable just by listening to the sound, but he looked calm. This kind of content was at best a curiosity. In terms of bloodiness, it was not as good as his usual entertainment activities. "Are you sure the queen ant can create the soldiers I need?" The Fourth Prince returned the phone.

"Based on the feeding and mating characteristics of the chimera queen, it can produce various ants with specialized functions according to its needs. The queen's domination of the ant colony is absolute control at the genetic level. As long as the queen agrees, I think it's not a big deal to create a group of special ants that only obey your orders. Of course, even if the queen can't do it, the experts in the base can help it do it, so there's no need to worry about that."

"That's good." The fourth prince raised his chin. "Finally, can this thing really communicate?"

"The queen ant communicates with its ants through brain waves. We have already made a 'translation' tool." Pariston walked to the control console and pressed a few buttons.

The freezer thawed quickly, and the queen ant's powerful vitality allowed it to recover in a short moment. When it discovered the four fresh humans in front of it, it struggled immediately, but was quickly imprisoned by the mechanical device extending from the freezer.

  The "translation" device on the console received the powerful brain waves emitted by the queen ant and quickly decoded and translated them into a synthesized sound:

"I'm hungry... I need to... eat... In order to give birth to the ant king... I need... nutrition..."

"Hey, Ant."

The fourth prince stepped forward and stood in front of the freezer, staring coldly at the queen ant. "You want nutrition, that's not a problem. As long as you can produce enough soldiers for me as I require, I can provide you with an endless supply of humans to eat and help you give birth to the ant king you are most satisfied with."

Tita took out the walkie-talkie and said a few words. Soon the outer door of the cave opened, and a handcuffed death row prisoner was brought in and pushed next to the fourth prince.

"No, no..." The prisoner turned pale with fear when he saw the huge, ferocious ants in the freezer, but the next moment, his arms disappeared and fell into the hands of the fourth prince.

The fourth prince threw the pair of fresh and warm arms into the freezer. The queen ant couldn't wait to swallow the arms, making satisfied chewing sounds.

"How about it? If you understand, the remaining meat is yours too." The fourth prince smiled and pointed at the death row prisoner who looked pale next to him.

The queen ant stared at the human in front of her. In her senses, the fourth prince was like a huge black fireball, shrouded in a terrifying power that made her tremble with fear... She didn't care about death, but she had to give birth to the ant king before she died. This was her innate mission, so she nodded and agreed to the fourth prince's deal.

"I eat 20 people like this every day..."

  "casual."

On the other side, Jing Yang and his party were taking an airship to Mount Freyr...
