Chapter 73

These massive creatures blocked the entire passage, just like garbage clogging a drain.

What to do about a clogged drain? Of course, it’s to clear it all out. Following this line of thought, Chu Feiyue quickly thought of a skill that would be very suitable for the current situation.

He first knocked down the two leading guard army ants to block the path of the ants behind them, then began to continuously prepare the Fire Wind Spike.

This time, he decided to increase the piercing power, speed, and the force of the wind enveloping the Fire Wind Spike, all of which were related to the wind blades inside the Fire Wind Spike.

Thus, he compressed a large number of wind blades into his new Fire Wind Spike. The massive rotating wind blades sucked all the flames off the surface of the Fire Wind Spike, leaving Chu Feiyue with only a slender, red-green cone in his hand.

"Go." Chu Feiyue pushed the new cone out from his hand.

Immediately, the cone, which had too many wind blades compressed into it, exploded not far in front of him. The flames from the explosion, aided by the surrounding violent winds, formed a thick pillar of fire that filled the entire passage.

It was like a red laser cannon...

The unfortunate guard army ants were directly hit by this terrifying force of fire and storm, all being pushed to the corners of the walls.

A smell of burnt protein rose from the pile of crushed and burned remains.

"Congratulations on comprehending a new skill: evolved from the Fire Wind Spike, by adding a large number of rotating wind blades to the Fire Wind Spike, causing it to quickly explode upon firing, forming a rotating high-temperature flame column to attack enemies in front. The damage depends on the magic output, element concentration, and the number of compressed wind blades, and is particularly effective in confined spaces." This time, the voice of the sky was not the GM, but a cold and emotionless system prompt.

"Please name it."

Chu Feiyue had come up with another skill on his own.

"Uh, let's call it 'Explosive Wind Slaughter.' Look, these ants were all shredded into pieces." Chu Feiyue found it quite difficult to come up with a good name, one that was both loud and powerful yet simple and easy to understand. It was really hard.

"Naming successful, and I sincerely request that you do not tease the system. The system is very busy, thank you. The system said in a sincere tone."

"..." Oh, after the princess, the system has also become humanized. I am despairing at this society that sells cuteness.

After eliminating the guard army ants, the path to the queen ant was clear. The sharp-eyed Qin Yue found a piece of equipment in the pile of remains that were once army ants, a large axe glowing with a green light.

"Guard Army's Bloody Battle Axe: Excellent. Two-handed axe. The front claws of the guard army ants are naturally shaped like axes, with barbs on the blade, looking very imposing. Physical attack +67, has a certain chance to trigger bleeding damage, has a certain chance to disarm, restores 3 durability in 1 day. Equipment requirements: Level 15, Strength 11."

This thing can trigger two abnormal states, it should fetch a good price. Chu Feiyue, who had already given up hope of equipping it, stuffed the 1.5-meter-long large axe into his ring, preparing to sell it to the rich female player from the Zhetian Guild.

She is a real big spender...

These ants are so poor that they don't even need to use the gathering skill, so Chu Feiyue didn't care at all about the residue of these army ants, who were born great and died in frustration, embedded in the walls and couldn't be scraped off.

With Qin Yue, the two of them blasted open the palace gate made of strange sticky substances and entered the queen ant's chamber.

Although it was called a palace, it was actually just a large round cave. Apart from a white fleshy ball and the ground covered with red-striped ore, there was nothing else inside.

Chu Feiyue and Qin Yue looked awkwardly at the fleshy ball in the corner, which was trembling like a woman's chest, and both felt that this kind of boss was a great disgrace to all monsters.

"Blood-striped Queen Ant: Level 25 Silver Boss. HP 4500. Description: A mutated queen ant from the red-striped ore mine, unable to move due to excessive obesity, can only be fed by her subjects. Skills: 1. [Raging Scream]: Roars to make her guard army ants go berserk, enhancing their combat power. 2. [Bloodthirsty Scream]: Roars to cast a bloodlust spell on her guard army ants, enhancing their combat power. 3. Ultimate [Desperate Ant Tide]: Activates when HP is below 20%. Sends a signal that only blood-striped ants can sense, summoning all blood-striped ants to aid her and granting them a do-or-die state, enhancing all attributes. The queen ant herself enters a stiff state, reducing the damage she receives."

No wonder this queen ant is so cowardly; she is completely a big nurse, with no offensive power of her own.

However, this thing is quite intelligent and knows fear.

So Chu Feiyue walked over and slapped its fatty flesh hard.

As a result...

It trembled violently twice, contracting itself into a large ball, then suddenly spread its fatty flesh out on the ground, forming a large pancake.

It scared itself to death.

"Congratulations, you have scared to death the Level 25 Silver Boss Blood-striped Queen Ant. This princess, out of great mercy, rewards you with 5 gold coins and 100 reputation." The princess covered her mouth and giggled, issuing the system prompt.

"Your level has been unlocked to Level 15."

Hearing the teasing voice of the princess, Chu Feiyue felt quite reassured.

Now, Chu Feiyue had pulled ahead of the second-place Lan Cangming by nearly two levels. It seemed that not grinding small monsters for leveling up had no effect on him.

Chu Feiyue's level jumped directly from 14 to 15, and this consistent integer-leveling speed aroused the curiosity of all the players in the country. Countless rich and powerful figures posted threads, advertisements, bounties, and even wanted notices to find out the leveling method of the top-ranked player.

If someone asked, Chu Feiyue would definitely tell them very straightforwardly that killing a few more bosses would do, as the experience from bosses is many times that of ordinary small monsters.

Although this boss was quite large, Chu Feiyue easily threw the fleshy queen ant's corpse into his ring, planning to take it back to give to Sister Aurelia. The thought of Sister Aurelia using this thing as a pillow made him shudder.

It's really strange, how can such a good person have such a peculiar hobby? Chu Feiyue suddenly remembered that when he came, Sister Aurelia was hugging a bear-like pillow...

It's probably another boss that Sister Aurelia liked and then tragically turned into this. You are truly tragic.
