Chapter 29 - 25: Level 5 Ant Queen!
“Gaba!”
“Gaba!”
The monster under the feet of the red-cloak youth was chewing non-stop.
Chen Fan couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment: “Is this thing eating while running?
He took a closer look…
[Monster Name]: Heavy-armored Beetle King
[Combat Power Level]: 5 [Species Level]: Extraordinary/Moderate
[Monster Attribute]: Wood
[Monster Weakness]: Metal
[Species Skills]: Brutal Charge, Vine Wood Cage, Razor Frenzy Cut
[Monster status]: Filled with fighting spirit
[Monster preferences]: Loves eating, constantly eating, eats anything, a big foodie
[Potential Level]: Four Stars
[Breakthrough to Level 6 Requirement] ? [Species Level Evolution Route]: Two routes Another 5 -level Guardian Beast.
It’s really a big foodie…eating all the time!
He wonders if it would eat while exercising with the Heavy-armored beetle queen?
The thought was so beautiful that Chen Fan didn’t dare to imagine.
He felt a little sorry for this red-cloak youth…
A Beastmaster’s Space is for the Guardian Beasts to rest and meditate, and it cannot store items.
As for Chen Fan’s Beastmaster’s Space, it was an exception.
It would not be easy for the red-cloak youth to satisfy this big foodie unless he has a spatial ability.
Chen Fan almost laughed out loud when he thought about how this conceited fellow would have to carry several sacks of food for his Guardian Beasts when going out.
Snowy and Jade are still easier to raise…
At this time, the red-cloak youth on the back of the Heavy-armored Beetle King spoke without turning his head: “The smell of blood is too strong…Your mutual slaughter has disturbed the sleeping Ant Queen.”
“Stay behind me and don’t move. I’ll handle it.”
“Hmph!” Chen Fan sneered and had already made up his mind…to do as he said!
Zhao Xin and the others were both surprised and delighted as they gathered
around Chen Fan.
At this time, the red-cloak youth on the back of the Heavy-armored Beetle
King said softly: “Ant Queen, sorry for the offense, please step back.”
“Gazhi gazhi!” The Iron-eating Black Ant Queen, as big as a small mountain, made an unpleasant metallic friction sound from its mouth.
The surrounding Iron-eating Black Ants, instead of backing down, slowly surrounded them!
“Crack! ”
The Heavy-armored Beetle King was enraged, stuffed a leg of lamb in its mouth, and suddenly slammed its claw on the ground!
“Boom!”
Amidst the roar, dust filled the air!
The surrounding Iron-eating Black Ants panicked, immediately receding like a tidal wave.
As for the Iron-eating Black Ant Queen, her fierceness subsided quite a bit.
However, its eyes were still filled with fierceness, making it hesitant to retreat.
The red-cloak youth remained silent for a moment, raised both his palms upward, and two Six-pointed Star Arrays appeared on each side of the Heavy-armored Beetle King.
Two Guardian Beasts crawled out of the Six-pointed Star Arrays!
One was a Yellow-feathered bird much smaller in size than the
Heavy-armored Beetle King;
The other was a four-meter-tall, heavily armored giant Stone Man;
As soon as the Yellow-feathered bird appeared, clouds of yellow sand surged, simulating a sandstorm!
And that four-meter-tall Stone Man, wearing a black armor suit and carrying a big iron hammer, looked majestic!
“5-level Desert Wind Falcon, Wind, Sand dual attributes;”
“5-level Dark-blood Stone Golem, Earth attribute…He’s already made of the hard ‘Solar Stone’, and now he’s wearing such heavy armor—how shameless.” “When I have money later, I’ll also get myself and Snowy a set of armor.” “As for Jade…something simpler, like a pot lid.”
“Tsk, this kid is really full of himself. Wearing a red cloak and leading three powerful and domineering Guardian Beasts…you can tell he’s from a rich family!”
Chen Fan had a speechless look as he glanced at the red-cloak youth.
Wasn’t it said that only those above the Fourth Realm could contract two Guardian Beasts? And that ordinary Beastmasters could only contract one Guardian Beast if their cultivation was not strong enough?
Why did everyone he randomly encountered have three Guardian Beasts?
The girl he had met by the Sinking Star River yesterday had three Guardian Beasts.
The red-cloak youth in front of him also had three Guardian Beasts!
Both of them were probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, right?
Could it be that they had already reached the Fourth Realm?
How could that be?
According to the Beastmaster’s forum, many of the elders in the major families of East Sea City had only reached the middle to late stages of the Fourth Realm, right?
Why did it seem like geniuses were everywhere in Blue Star?
At this moment, the three Guardian Beasts, including the Heavy-armored Beetle King, roared at the same time!
Three fierce spirits surged into the sky!
The Iron-eating Black Ant Queen was so frightened that she retreated three steps in a row!
Even Zhao Xin and the others behind Chen Fan were shocked, and couldn’t help but shiver!
“Step back.”
The red-cloak youth said it again.
A domineering aura burst from him.
His cloak fluttered in the wind.
Despite being amongst his three Guardian Beasts, the red-cloak youth’s aura seemed even stronger!
He was ready to make a move, his aura locked onto the Iron-eating Black Ant Queen.
If the Ant Queen still refused to retreat, he would probably strike like thunder!
“Yo vo vo, the fight is about to start. the fight is about to start!”
Chen Fan rubbed his hands together, feeling a bit excited.
He also wanted to see up close how strong a level 5 monster could be.
But what he didn’t expect was…
“Grrr, grrr!”
The Iron-Eating Black Ant Queen let out very dissatisfied noises, and rings of earthy yellow light flickered around its body.
Under the cover of the earthy yellow light, the ground around the Ant Queen seemed to melt away.
It just sank down slowly, as if it was in a swamp.
The surrounding Iron-eating Black Ants also quickly burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight.
Chen Fan:
What the hell?
Why didn’t they fight?
The Ant Queen was too cowardly!
The youth on the Heavy-armored Beetle King’s back was unaware of Chen Fan’s desire for chaos behind him.
After watching the Ant Queen sink into the ground, he slowly turned around. His face was extremely handsome, with distinct features, shining eyes, an upturned nose, and an aura of unmatched elegance that would make people on the street envious and drive women crazy.
Despite looking only seventeen or eighteen years old, he stood on the back of the Heavy-armored Beetle King with an extraordinary poise and grace.
From any angle, this was a perfect man that would make men jealous and women go crazy.
Chen Fan didn’t admit to being jealous.
But right now, he really wanted to beat him up.
Chen Fan scratched his chin and said, “This Ant Queen is so dangerous, why not just kill it directly?”
“Isn’t it too dangerous to leave such a terrifying monster in the Black Ant Forest?”
The red-cloak youth paused for a moment before replying indifferently, “There’s not much danger in having the Ant Queen staying in the Black Ant Forest. ”
“Because the Ant Queen is gentle by nature and generally won’t attack people.”
“Didn’t it just try to attack us?” Chen Fan said, “People participating in the three-day assessment haven’t even started their cultivation yet. Even if there were twenty thousand people gathered together, they wouldn’t be enough for the Ant Queen to fight, right?”
“Hasn’t it gone berserk in all these years and never harmed anyone?”
“Indeed, it hasn’t.” The red-cloak youth said, “This time, it was mainly awakened by the strong smell of blood here and then enraged.”
“Because you happened to be right above its lair killing so many people.”
“There should be danger signs nearby warning you to stay away. Didn’t you see them?”
Chen Fan looked at Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said, “We saw it, but how were we supposed to know there was an Ant Queen here?”
“We thought those danger signs were warning us about level 2 monsters nearby.”
“We originally came here to hunt level 2 monsters.”
Chen Fan’s eyes shifted, saying, “But it’s still a menace, isn’t it? Can’t you just eliminate it directly?”
“I can’t.” The red-cloak youth said indifferently, “After the Ant Queen consumes the iron veins of the Black Ant Forest, it will sleep for a while, then spit out many ‘Iron Marrow’ and give it to East Sea City.”
“Iron Marrow is a high-quality material for making weapons and is very valuable.”
“If weapons like swords and knives are made with Iron Marrow, they will become sharper and more durable.”
Chen Fan pursed his lips, “So in plain terms, the Ant Queen is actually being raised by East Sea City in this Black Ant Forest, right?” The red-cloak youth nodded slightly, “You can say that.”
Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders.
Suddenly, the red-cloak youth’s gaze turned cold as he looked behind Chen
Fan.
Almost at the same time, Sun Xiaoxiao’s scream came from behind!
“Hmm?”
Chen Fan abruptly turned around and saw Wang Teng holding Sun Xiaoxiao, stepping back!
He was holding a dagger to Sun Xiaoxiao’s throat!
Thin strands of blood were already flowing down Sun Xiaoxiao’s neck!
“Wang Teng!”
Chen Fan sternly said, “Let her go!”
“Hehehehe, hahahaha!” Wang Teng’s face was twisted, and he laughed maniacally.
He raised his head slightly, looking at the red-cloak youth on the
Heavy-armored Beetle King’s back, “You, sir, must be the safety officer, right?
Chen Fan killed all these people on the ground. Shouldn’t you arrest him?”
“Among those killed by Chen Fan were people who have Awakened their Guardian Beastmaster Talent and Star Martial Artist Talent!”
“But Chen Fan was cruel, disregarding their cries and pleas, and killed them all!”
“This must also be a huge loss for East Sea City, right?”
“Is East Sea City going to let a demon like this roam free?!”
“You even know about safety officers? It seems you’ve done quite a bit of research, huh?” Chen Fan took off the jade from his head.
As the jade fell into the grass along his pant leg, Zhao Xin, and the others argued on his behalf, “Sir, please don’t believe what Wang Teng said. He’s lying! Chen Fan only stood up for justice when he tried to kill us! Wang Teng is the demon!”
The red-cloak youth emotionlessly said, “Human beings have always been cunning and vicious, killing each other. But what does that have to do with
Wang Teng’s eye twitched involuntarily, “You… aren’t you the safety officer for this area? Aren’t you supposed to ensure our safety?”
The red-cloak youth said indifferently, “I am a safety officer, but I only protect you from being harmed by higher-level monsters.”
“I have no interest in getting involved with your personal grudges.”
“I am not a law enforcer.”
“Chen Fan!” Wang Teng’s eyes emitted a trace of desperation, and he cried hysterically, “Let me go… I don’t want to be enemies with a powerful Guardian Beastmaster like you. As long as you agree to let me go, I’ll release Sun Xiaoxiao!”
“From now on, I won’t provoke you again, and I’ll avoid you when I see you!” “If you don’t agree, I’ll kill her… Even if I die, I’ll take someone down with me!”
At this moment, Wang Teng’s face was contorted, his eyes radiating madness like a venomous snake baring its fangs, ready to bite.
“Wang Teng, you beast! Sun Xiaoxiao saved you!”
Zhao Xin cursed angrily, “You not only killed a group of people but now also dare to hold Xiaoxiao hostage and threaten us?”
Wang Teng’s eyes turned even more crazed, “Threat? Hehe, I…”
Before he could finish speaking, a green light flashed on the ground!
Slime Jade, who had quietly crawled over from the grass, soared into the air, wrapping around the dagger in Wang Teng’s hand like a green cloth!
