Chapter 615 Chimera Ants (11)
When the queen ant saw me standing there, she started to squirm as if she was trying to do something to fight back.
But her physique didn’t let her.
She was three times as big as a normal Chimera Ant, but she was also three times as fat. No, it was more like five times and that was still being generous.
However, one couldn’t blame her since she was clearly still carrying more eggs in her.
That was what I was aiming for in the first place.
There was something that no one knew about the queen ant that only I knew.
It was that the queen ant carried a special fetus inside of her.
Unlike the rest of the soldier and worker ants that were born from eggs, there was one special ant that wasn’t born from eggs like the rest. This was a child that she would only give birth to at the end of her life cycle.
It was the fetus for a new queen ant, the one that would take over once the queen ant died.
That was also my goal for this entire trip.
After all, I had a special method of controlling that queen ant fetus.
As long as I could control that queen ant fetus, then it would be possible for me to make sure of the Chimera Ants in the future.
I just calmly pulled out a sword as I faced this queen ant.
For once, I didn’t use Durand since it would be dangerous to use Durand against this queen ant. There was no knowing what kind of effects Durand would have on the queen ant if I used it on the queen ant.
I couldn’t take that risk.
There was another thing about this queen ant that I knew that others didn’t know.
It didn’t have any fighting capabilities.
Though it was trying to act tough right now by pretending to put up resistance, I knew from my experience in the game that this queen ant wasn’t really capable of anything. Chimera Ants had their own roles and this queen ant’s role was to give birth to new members of the colony.
Only the soldier ants which were the ones that were fighting my group actually had the ability to fight.
Even the worker ants couldn’t do anything as I could see them cowering from the corner of my eyes.
I came right up in front of the queen ant and she raised one of her feet to attack me, but it was too easy for me to dodge. With how fat she was, she could barely even move it 45 degrees, so it was no problem for me to dodge out of the way.
Once I stepped out of the way, I just simply stabbed my sword right under the jaw of the queen ant.
This was more knowledge from the game.
I knew that unlike the other ants, the queen was so fat that her exoskeleton actually cut off the rest of her joints. There was no place to attack other than this one spot under her jaw that had to remain open for her mouth.
So it was easy to stab right up into the head of the queen and stab her brain.
The light in the eyes of the queen ant dimmed after its head was stabbed like this.
In her final moments, she looked at me as if she was saying, “Why?”
However, there wasn’t an answer that I could give her.
This was just how nature was, it was survival of the fittest and in this case, we were the ones that were more fit.
After the ant queen died, the ants suddenly stalled for a second.
However, I knew that this was just a fake, so I said, “Don’t let your guards down! Hold them back a bit longer!”
Everyone was surprised to hear this, but they quickly understood why I said this.
That was because the ants…suddenly went crazy.
They completely lost their mind and just started attacking without a single care about their own safety. But all that did was make it easier for our soldiers to take them down since it was easy for them to bait these ants while they were in a frenzy.
At the same time, this gave me a chance to interact with the queen ant corpse without anyone seeing anything since they were too focused on taking care of the surrounding ants.
I ignored the head of the queen ant and went lower, heading to its gaster.Once I was there, I reached my sword down to where its butt was and then quickly inserted my sword in.
From the very beginning, I had no plans of bringing this sword back, so I didn’t hesitate to stab it into the queen ant.
As for why I was doing this, it wasn’t some kind of strange fetish.
Rather, it was because I couldn’t cut through the queen ant unless I did this.
Her body was hard on the outside and soft on the inside, so I was only able to cut her open by doing this.
I made sure to cut the gaster of the queen ant open and there were a bunch of eggs that fell out. However, these eggs were not the things that I was interested in.
I dug through the eggs until I found a single ant fetus that was lying among the eggs.
This ant fetus didn’t seem to be moving, but I knew that it was still alive, so I pulled out a potion that I poured over the ant fetus. When the potion fell onto the ant fetus, there was movement that came from it.
Seeing this, I pulled out another potion that I poured over the ant fetus.
This time, the potion was quickly absorbed by the ant fetus and it started to change.
In no time at all, the ant fetus started to grow until it was around a quarter of the size of the normal ants.
Seeing this, I gave a satisfied nod as I put the small ant down.
After that, I took out a leaf that I held in front of the ant.
