The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 361: Subduing the Queen Ant
Heavy raindrops fell on the mulberries, and under the refraction of light, the fruits looked like sparkling pure-color crystals.

Even though Liang Yuan was ten meters away from the king tree, he could still smell the fragrance of the fruit on the tree and the rich scent of supernatural energy.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the air into his body.

Even Dong Yan, who was beside her, couldn't help but say, "What a sweet scent."

Gao Jie also said: "This is the mutant mulberry, look at the second high fork on the tree!"

Liang Yuan and Dong Yan looked in the direction she pointed.

I saw a huge black nest on the second high fork of this huge mulberry tree.

This black nest is made of mud, with branches inside as the skeleton. At first glance, it seems to be about three or four meters wide and high.

From the dark entrance of the cave, black ants the size of fists would come in and out from time to time.

"Black Stone Ant Nest?" Liang Yuan asked.

Gao Jie nodded and said, "Yes, this is the nest of the black stone ants. If nothing unexpected happens, the black stone ant queen is inside."

"We have long discovered that the black stone ants here will look for food everywhere, then line up to bring it here and feed it to the nest."

"If it weren't for the Black Stone Ant Queen, she would never have the ability to manipulate the entire Black Stone Ant Colony to serve her."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "You two stay here, I'll go over and take a look."

"Brother Liang, be careful."

Dong Yan shouted quickly.

Liang Yuan waved his hand, jumped up and landed on the huge mulberry tree.

His figure was as light as a breeze and he landed on the tree silently.

Liang Yuan's mental power spread out and quickly probed into the dark mud pit.

It was pitch black inside the mud pit. Even if one's mental power penetrated in, nothing could be seen.

This made Liang Yuan narrow his eyes slightly: "This ant nest built with mud can actually prevent mental detection?"

He was a little surprised. Is this Black Stone Ant Queen so powerful?
Or is there something special about this mud?
He jumped down from the tree and said to Dong Yan and Gao Jie, "You guys leave the vicinity. I'll lure it out."

When the two heard this, they immediately understood that Liang Yuan was going to take action.

The two of them immediately retreated and quickly left the area.

After the two men stepped back, Liang Yuan stretched out his hands, and his mental power turned into two palms, grabbing two sparkling black mulberry fruits.

"Bang bang!"

The two mulberry fruits trembled violently, and Liang Yuan pulled them down under the control of his mental power.

"Woo-"

Two strong and angry sound waves suddenly emanated from the black mud anthill.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure emerged from the ant hole.

As the sound wave sounded, a strong mental power fluctuation dissipated and violently hit Liang Yuan's mental power.

With a bang, the two mental forces collided, and Liang Yuan suddenly felt that he had lost control of the mulberry fruit.

His mental power shook slightly, and outside of his sea of ​​consciousness, an unfamiliar mental power madly hit Liang Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

But in a flash he was blocked outside by the spirit turtle shield.

Liang Yuan raised his head and looked at the ant hole on the tree.

A huge black head popped out from the anthill, its two antennae shaking and its dark compound eyes staring at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan vaguely felt a surge of anger coming over him.

This black stone ant queen does have a certain amount of intelligence!

"Woo——"

There was a strange roar, and the next moment, the ground shook slightly, and a large number of black ants quickly emerged on the ground.

The limbs of these ants are strong and majestic, as if they are filled with powerful muscles.

Each one is as big as a volleyball, and at this moment they are densely packed and rushing towards Liang Yuan in a swarm!
This kind of ant is completely different from the fist-sized ants Liang Yuan had seen on the tree before. It is obviously much larger.

Moreover, the maxillary mouthparts of this ant are more developed.

"Soldier ants?"

Liang Yuan guessed, he remembered that ant colonies had division of labor.

A mature ant colony, with a queen ant, must have worker ants and soldier ants.

Worker ants are generally the smallest individuals in an ant colony, but they are the largest in number, are good at running, and are infertile.

Their main duties are to build and expand nests, collect food, feed larvae and queens, etc.

Soldier ants are different. "Soldier ants" is the common name for the large worker ants of certain ant species, which are female ants without reproductive ability.

They have large heads and well-developed jaws that can crush hard food, which becomes a fighting weapon when defending the group.

These giant ants rushing over at this moment must be soldier ants.

Liang Yuan took a quick look and found that there were hundreds of soldier ants.

No wonder the patrol members couldn’t break in here. There were so many soldier ants that they could drive away any enemy just by using the ant sea tactics.

Liang Yuan leaped out of the encirclement of the soldier ants and rubbed his hands together. Suddenly, two balls of flames burst into flames.

But the soldier ants were fearless and surrounded them again.

For a moment, there were black ants everywhere, making people's scalps tingle.

Liang Yuan performed the Fire Dragon Dance without saying a word. In an instant, flames roared and burned everywhere.

As the fire dragon swept through, the surrounding ants were instantly burned by the high temperature flames.

A strong smell of burning came, and there was a crackling sound of roasting.

Liang Yuan sneered as he stared at the ant colony in the sea of ​​fire.

These ants may have amazing physical defense, but their fire resistance is not high.

Under the high temperature fire, it was quickly burnt to a crisp.

But the next moment, Liang Yuan's pupils shrank.

But in the flames, all the soldier ants quickly approached and gathered together.

With layers upon layers upon layers, they turned around and actually formed a super large black sphere.

Then the black sphere rolled at high speed in the sea of ​​fire under the high temperature flames of the Fire Dragon Dance.

Under the high temperature, the black stone ants on the outer layer made crackling and burning sounds.

But they did not fall apart and fall off. Their corpses stuck tightly to the outermost layer, forming a pitch-black protective shield that served as a heat-insulating layer for the ant colony inside!

Such a scene surprised Liang Yuan.

"These ant colonies are so intelligent!"

He was amazed in his heart. At this moment, hundreds of ants formed three black balls and rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, rolling madly towards Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan quickly punched one of the balls.

Bang!
The enormous force directly broke the air, causing a terrifying sonic boom.

The charred black ball exploded violently, but there were no casualties.

The ant colonies were originally loose, and after being defeated by Liang Yuan, they turned into a black wave, rapidly covering Liang Yuan!

The spirit turtle shield on Liang Yuan's body lit up, and countless ants bit him madly.

The spirit turtle cover made a strange creaking sound, and Liang Yuan felt his mental power being rapidly consumed.

"Can even spiritual energy be devoured?"

Liang Yuan frowned slightly, a little surprised.

These black stone ants are really tough to deal with. One or two is okay, but when there are hundreds of them rushing towards you, it is really difficult to fight alone.

Inside the spirit turtle cover, an ochre-colored halo bloomed on Liang Yuan's body, and the next moment, his figure suddenly sank into the mud.

The spirit turtle shield also exploded, and the soldier ants circled around frantically, looking for Liang Yuan.

Suddenly, the queen ant on the tree made a strange humming sound, and then the soldier ants seemed to have received instructions and began to dig on the ground!
Liang Yuan, who was hiding underground using the earth escape skill, was really shocked at this moment.

"Even if you hide underground, you can still be found and hunted down!"

"Yes, these ants can dig holes in the soil to make their homes!"

Liang Yuan quickly escaped underground.

No matter how fast these ants dig the soil, they can never be as fast as him in burrowing underground.

Dozens of meters away, Liang Yuan jumped out from the ground and looked up at the black stone ant queen on the tree.

"Throughout the entire process, these soldier ants are actually controlled by the queen's calls."

"To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. It's useless even if I burn all these soldier ants. I can always create more soldier ants later."

"Catch the queen ant first!"

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he leaped up, with a fire wheel exploding under his feet.

In an instant, his figure drew a line of fire in the air and landed directly on the tree branch.

Then Liang Yuan swung his fists violently, and two fire dragons rushed towards the Black Stone Ant Queen frantically!

The black stone ant queen let out a strange cry and quickly retreated back into the black anthill. Suddenly, a fierce flame burned the anthill, and black mud emitted bursts of black smoke.

The soldier ants on the grass suddenly squeaked and turned to crawl towards the mulberry tree and rushed towards Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan rushed out quickly and kicked the anthill made of black mud.

His strength was so great that this kick even created a sonic boom.

'Boom! '

The pitch-black anthill suddenly exploded, revealing the pitch-black black stone queen ant inside.

The black stone ant queen raised her compound eyes, and her huge black maxillary mouthparts suddenly bit towards Liang Yuan!
Liang Yuan kicked up and hit the black stone ant queen's upper jaw hard.

Bang!
The body of the black stone ant queen suddenly rolled out of the mud anthill and fell to the ground.

Liang Yuan also stepped into the air and fell rapidly towards the black stone ant queen.

At the same time, he glanced at the soles of his feet.

The yellow scales on his feet exploded, and cracks appeared on his armor!

Liang Yuan was secretly shocked: "What a sharp mouthpart!"

He used his stone carapace armor to defend himself, but it collided with the opponent's mouthparts and he almost failed to block it!

He was naturally shocked. This black stone ant queen was unexpectedly strong.

Just as he was about to catch up with the Black Stone Ant Queen that fell to the ground, suddenly the Black Stone Ant Queen made a strange humming sound.

In an instant, the soldier ants around it flooded it like a tide.

In a flash, these soldier ants formed a ball again and wrapped the black stone ant queen.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan's eyes turned fierce, he stepped forward with his right foot and clenched his fists.

The blood in the body is boiling and roaring, veins are bulging, and muscles are tense.

"open--!"

With a roar, Liang Yuan threw a punch.

In an instant, the air whimpered and roared, and waves of air piled up and dissipated from Liang Yuan's fist wind to the left and right, forming two billowing air waves that exploded.

This punch combines two power skills!
[Muscle explosion] + [Air explosion]!
Liang Yuan’s strength attribute has reached its ceiling, having already reached a huge 50 points!
However, the temporary amplification of the [Muscle Burst] skill can instantly double the strength, directly breaking the body's limit, doubling one's own strength and increasing it to a terrifying explosive power of 100 points.

This is a momentary burst of power and does not last long.

But even so, how terrifying would 100 points of power be?
Liang Yuan vaguely felt that the wind resistance on the surface of his fist seriously hindered his punching speed.

He could feel as if he could shatter this space with one punch.

Of course, this must be an illusion.

No matter how strong the space barrier is, only those with space abilities can find nodes in the space and pry it open easily.

The only thing Liang Yuan could destroy was the simple space created by Li Qinghua.

He is currently far from being able to break through the true world space barrier.

The gas explosion skill is also a skill of power-type psychics.

This skill comes from the Rune Bone and is achieved by mobilizing Qi and blood to form a Qi explosion.

It can also improve instantaneous explosive power and speed.

Moreover, gas explosion is a continuous explosion. If the qi and blood are sufficient, it can explode continuously!
The superposition of the two skills is not as simple as one plus one.

Liang Yuan threw a punch, and before his fist arrived, the wind from his fist had already crushed him.

In an instant, the huge ant ball in front exploded into countless powder!

Under the terrifying force, even the wind from a fist can instantly crush and tear apart the black stone ant soldiers.

With this punch, the black stone ants on the outer layer were blasted into dust.

The terrifying force penetrated the sphere, and the black stone ants inside exploded layer by layer.

It is transmitted all the way to the Black Stone Ant Queen at the core.

Bang!
The black stone ant queen was like a black stone and was smashed out of the sphere.

The entire ant ball shattered.

The body of the Black Stone Ant Queen smashed through a mulberry tree with a loud bang, and then with a bang, a big hole was created!
Liang Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he stepped out.

He stepped on the black stone ant queen in the huge pit.

At the same time, he pressed five fingers on the top of the Black Stone Ant Queen's head.

His eyes revealed a dim light, and his mental power frantically bombarded the Black Stone Ant Queen's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Woo-"

The Black Stone Ant Queen's body was glowing with black light as she desperately resisted Liang Yuan's mental invasion.

"You still dare to resist!"

Liang Yuan sneered, raised his palm, and with great force, he slapped the black stone ant queen's head hard.

Bang!
The black stone ant queen's head suddenly sank into the mud pit with a bang.

The mud pits around were shattering and spreading like a spider web.

Suddenly, the Black Stone Ant Queen's brain went into chaos, and she was unable to organize any effective resistance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang Yuan's mental power instantly penetrated into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness.

[Puppet Thread] activated!
The mental force was like countless tentacles, quickly connecting to the Black Stone Ant Queen's neural network and directly cutting off the other party's control over its body.

At this point, the Black Stone Ant Queen was finally defeated!
Liang Yuan stood on the Black Stone Ant Queen and manipulated her to crawl out of the mud pit.

The soldier ants around are about to rush up again.

Then Liang Yuan controlled the Black Stone Ant Queen and issued a mental wave command.

Suddenly all the soldier ants stopped and looked at the Black Stone Ant Queen in confusion.

Liang Yuan said again: "Back off!"

The Black Stone Ant Queen issued another mental wave command.

In an instant, the soldier ants retreated like a tide and disappeared in a flash.

Gao Jie and Dong Yan, who had been hiding in the distance, saw this scene and both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Dong Yan said excitedly: "I knew that Brother Liang would definitely win."

Gao Jie also showed admiration and said, "Mr. Liang is really too strong. When several of our captains came in with dozens of people, we almost died at the hands of this black stone ant queen."

"I never thought that Mr. Liang could suppress the Black Stone Ant Queen single-handedly."

She was amazed and couldn't help but look envious, saying, "I wonder when I can be as good as Mr. Liang."

Dong Yan smiled and said, "I will definitely do that in the future. Let's go."

The two of them immediately entered the mulberry forest and soon approached Liang Yuan.

At this moment, Liang Yuan controlled the Black Stone Ant Queen, opened her spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and then condensed his mental power, turning it into a [parasitic seed], which he planted directly in the Black Stone Ant Queen's mind!
After doing all this, Liang Yuan turned over and jumped off the body of the Black Stone Ant Queen, then directly withdrew the [Puppet Thread] skill.

Suddenly, the Black Stone Ant Queen climbed up angrily and roared at Liang Yuan.

"Woo——"

The sound waves vibrated and turned into a strong wind, blowing the raindrops and making Liang Yuan's clothes rustle.

But Liang Yuan just smiled coldly: "Are you looking for death?"

He used his mind to trigger the parasitic species, and instantly, the Black Stone Ant Queen felt a sharp pain in her head, as if something was about to grow out of her brain.

Suddenly, the Black Stone Ant Queen made a wailing sound and rolled desperately on the ground.

Liang Yuan then stopped and waved towards Dong Yan, saying, "Yan Yan, help me connect with its spiritual will. I want to have a good talk with it."

Dong Yan quickly said, “Okay, Brother Liang.”

She placed her index fingers on her temples, instantly creating a spiritually connected world.

In the spiritual world, Liang Yuan and the Black Stone Ant Queen both appeared.

"Spare your life, spare your life..."

The Black Stone Ant Queen's thoughts conveyed a begging for mercy. It had a certain degree of intelligence and was able to express its meaning.

But after all, it is not as intelligent as humans. It is rare for it to be able to express its own consciousness. It is impossible for it to have a complete and logical expression.

Liang Yuan sent out his spiritual thoughts: "From now on, you must listen to me and her and guard this mulberry forest for me. Except for me and her who can bring people here, no one else can enter here privately. Do you understand?"

"Know, know..." A thought responded.

Liang Yuan gave it some more orders, and the black stone ant queen was completely under Liang Yuan's control.

Dong Yan also tried to communicate with the Black Stone Ant Queen, who behaved unusually well.

It is worthy of being the queen ant, with extraordinary intelligence, comparable to the black and gold giant ape.

Dong Yan was overjoyed and said to Liang Yuan, "Brother Liang, it's as smart as Xiao Hei. With it guarding the mulberry forest, this place will completely belong to us."

Liang Yuan also smiled and said, "In the next period of time, I will take time to bring you here to train it every day, and try to make you familiar with it as soon as possible."

"With the Black Stone Ant Queen and the Little Black Gold Giant Ape, you don't have to worry about your safety in the future."
