174: Chapter 174: Single Combat with the King Ant 174: Chapter 174: Single Combat with the King Ant At that moment, Big Blood Bull had no other choice but to continue hiding in the water, hoping to evade the imminent attack. Unfortunately, the dam ants dived into the water like dumplings in boiling soup, directly charging towards the concealed Big Blood Bull. “Damn it!” Big Blood Bull was extremely frustrated, avoiding the dam ants and trying to flee. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Amidst his escape, he yelled, “I’ll distract these ants, my brother, I leave my last wish to you. The blood ants are at their weakest state right now, this is the best time to strike! Keep the mission items for me, or I won’t rest in peace!” Su Ran shivered. It felt like a final goodbye, he hadn’t even seen what was in the silver treasure chest yet, “Don’t you die on me!” However, just as this thought crossed Su Ran’s mind, Big Blood Bull was surrounded by the dam ants, unable to escape. After a while, he let out a soul-shattering scream, and then he was no more. Well, disregard what I just said. Upon seeing Big Blood Bull drop five or six Healing Potions after his death, Su Ran thought to himself, “This fella sure does keep his word, didn’t drop any good items.” With no time to wait, Su Ran morphed into a skeleton, wielding the Illusion Demon Stone Sword, and rushed towards the blood ants. When he got close to the blood shield, he felt the powerful pressure that came with royal majesty. Undeterred by the incoming pressure, Su Ran threw a burning paper towards the blood ants. “Boom!” The fireball, transformed from the burning paper, hit the blood shell. Rather than a burst, it only managed a ripple, the shield completely undamaged. “How is that possible?” Su Ran grew serious. This opportunity was created by his clone and Big Blood Bull, and he couldn’t let it go to waste! He threw several burning papers in succession, producing no effect like his first attempt. Wrong approach! Suddenly, the buzzing sound from above filled the sky, a swarm of black chest and white ants dived down towards Su Ran. The angry aura enveloped the environment, exacerbating the tension. Shoot! Since his clone was gone, this swarm of flying ants had come back! Looking at the blood shield, standing strong like a stubborn rock, Su Ran gritted his teeth. He got rid of the burning paper and the Illusion Demon Stone Sword, tossing them into his bladder, while his skeletal claws reached towards this gigantic blood egg. He had a daredevil idea to chuck the blood ant into his bladder! As his fingers touched the bloody protective layer, there was a comforting warmth transferred to him. This wasn’t as he had imagined, devoid of any burning sensation. Su Ran cheered internally, exerting force with his fingers, lifting this ‘gigantic egg’, and tried to thrust it straight into his bladder. To Su Ran’s surprise, this blood ant just wouldn’t squeeze in! His omnipotent bladder failed him for the second time, the first failure occurred with that giant treasure chest in the dark abyssal cavern! Under such a critical moment, the swarm of black chest and white ants in the sky resembled incoming bombers, heavily targeted at him. If he couldn’t find any solutions, he might as well wait for his death! The tenser the situation, the calmer Su Ran was. His eyes lit up as he spotted the ant colony of the blood ants. Su Ran fast decided on his move, raised the ‘gigantic egg’ high up with all his strength. With a leap, he stepped into the ant colony of the blood ants, dragging the blood ant into the nest as well. Only the entrance of the nest stayed outside. Fortunately, this blood ant wasn’t heavy! Su Ran nervously gazed out through the hole. The black chest and white ants hovered around the nest in rage, but they dared not rush in, leaving the damned skeleton idling in the nest. Su Ran knew he had made the right gamble. The royal presence of the superior blood ant had an effect. The queen ant’s nest is sacrosanct! For now, the crisis was temporarily resolved. However, the biggest challenge lay before Su Ran: How could he crack this blood-coloured eggshell? If magic attack didn’t work, then he should try physical attack! Su Ran took out the Illusion Demon Stone Sword from his bladder, lifted it up and struck it heavily towards the robust protective shield. “Clang, Clang!” It was to no avail, the eggshell remained sturdy. Su Ran, with a headache, looked at this blood-colored gigantic egg that pulsed with life. Was he supposed to wait for it to fully evolve before engaging it in a bloody fight? Ugh, by then, he wouldn’t even know how he died… Su Ran’s mind spun like a gear in overdrive, struck by a sudden idea. With a tenacity like a Big Blood Bull, sometimes one needed to resort to desperate measures. He quietly pulled out his novice hoe from his bag and got back to his roots; it was time to dig! Under the heavens, what couldn’t be excavated? Minerals, graves, Tomb Souls, this mere colossal blood-colored egg, I will crack you open! Without wasting further time, Su Ran gripped the novice hoe with both hands and swung at the obdurate egg. “Bang!” “Bang!” “Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton wins a special item——Qi Blood Essence.” Oh boy, not only could it be dug, but it also yielded loot? Su Ran realized that the most badass skill was actually mining! With a novice hoe in his hand, one could relieve worries, troubles, and solve any minor problems~ Looking at the small crack that appeared in the blood shield, Su Ran gave a sinister smile and resumed his attack with the novice hoe. Heave-ho~ Bang! Heave-ho~ Bang! “Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton wins a special item——Qi Blood Essence.” “Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton wins a special item——Qi Blood Essence.” “Crack!” The Blood Shield burst and turned into a stream of blood-colored mist, disappearing into the air. Su Ran was shocked to see that the Carmine Ant’s body, now exposed, had changed color! It morphed from its previous green color to a milky white. However, it hadn’t finished evolving when Su Ran interrupted the process with a few strikes of his hoe. Suddenly, a strong aura emerged from the Carmine Ant. This aura, however, dissipated as quickly as it manifested, giving a feeling of running on empty. Su Ran hastily retreated several steps, wielding the Illusion Demon Stone Sword. He then launched a timely desperate tactic, Burning Paper. As the Burning Paper erupted into flames, it bombarded the Carmine Ant like a fireball. The heavily struck Carmine Ant’s eyes popped open, a flash of crimson light fleeting past. In a swift move, it rose back on its feet, a royal aura bursting forth, blended with its fury as it glared at the loathsome little skeleton. It was this creature that had thwarted its unprecedented opportunity! The Carmine Ant was greatly agitated, its antennae on the forehead swinging violently as it charged towards Su Ran. Su Ran summoned his doppelganger, the Lava Bone Wolf, who pounced at the formidable Carmine Ant without an ounce of fear, showing a beastly savage expression. This Magic Technique of creating a doppelganger was truly amazing! It was able to fully revive in an instant! Taking advantage of this respite, Su Ran scrutinized the status of the Carmine Ant who was releasing a dominant aura. [Carmine Ant] (BOSS) LV35 (Weakened) Qi Blood: 6500 (-1000) Attack: 251-262 (-50) Defense: 150 (-50) Agility: 8 Active Skills: Royal Aura – After using, target attack reduces by 10%, defense decreases by 10%.

Luckily, it’s currently in a weakened state. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat it alone!
