Chapter 312: Ant Clan vs. Earth Dragon (Part One)

Level fifty?!

Among yesterday’s Earth Dragons, only one had surpassed level thirty, reaching LV.32, yet today three level-fifty Earth Dragons suddenly appeared?

Speaking of which… based on previous deductions, level fifty should be the maximum level achievable by Class A, right?

Progress becomes increasingly difficult at higher levels, and each tier within Class A brings substantial attribute growth!

A single level-up could grant ten additional points in strength or other attributes—a significant boost for Class A monsters whose peak attributes generally exceed one hundred.

Now, these three Earth Dragons surpassed Red Pupil by twenty levels… translating to nearly a two-hundred-point gap in attributes.

Moreover…

Through Purple Cloud’s eyes, Lin Yu glimpsed the distant Earth Dragons.

The first was a black Earth Dragon towering over all previously encountered specimens, its height exceeding even Red Pupil’s Magnification-enhanced form.

The second bristled with meter-long spikes resembling a porcupine’s armor, presenting no obvious weak points.

The third, though standing a mere three to four meters tall—smaller than most Earth Dragons from yesterday—possessed remarkable speed! Initially keeping pace with its companions, this compact creature surged far ahead in the blink of an eye.

Their overwhelming aura and power dwarfed yesterday’s opponents.

With the enemy approaching menacingly and time pressing, Lin Yu swiftly relayed the Flying Ant’s intel to the young girl beside her.

As they emerged from the ant nest,

two Flying Ants descended promptly from the sky.

"Will Mom be joining us too?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll keep my distance."

"Mmm."

The girl met Lin Yu’s gaze with a nod.

Both mounted Purple One and Purple Two, settling between the winged ridges.

The Flying Ants unfurled their membranous wings, soaring toward the Fog Zone’s frontlines.

Lin Yu’s initial nervousness about riding her Flying Ant daughter faded as she focused on the impending battle.

As if sensing Lin Yu’s unease, Red Pupil offered a reassuring smile.

"Don’t fret, Mother. Though they outlevel me by twenty, victory remains within reach—especially since I won’t be fighting alone."

…

Soon after,

the lead green Earth Dragon neared the Fog Zone.

Within the mist-shrouded battlefield, the Ant Clan stood prepared.

Their strategy against yesterday’s Earth Dragons required no revision—the fog’s concealment remained potent, and with only three targets, their assault would be several times more intense than those deployed yesterday.

The speedy Earth Dragon’s advance had created critical distance from its slower companions.

A swift elimination here… would make handling the remaining two significantly easier.

Soon, the diminutive Earth Dragon finally entered the Fog Zone.

Upon entering the mist-covered area, its speed markedly decreased.

Three hundred meters… two hundred meters…

Almost there… Not close enough… Only within a hundred-meter radius of the ant formation could the Acid Ants’ and Demonic Ants’ assaults achieve maximum coverage!

Yet when the creature paused at the two-hundred-meter mark, its scaled head suddenly reared back. A thunderous roar erupted from its maw, unleashing shockwaves that violently dispersed the surrounding fog.

Within moments, the mist within a three-hundred-meter radius vanished completely, exposing the concealed ant forces.

The Earth Dragon’s amber eyes swiftly scanned the battlefield, disregarding the living ants to fixate on the mutilated Earth Dragon corpse abandoned in the snow. Most flesh had been stripped from the carcass, leaving bones and viscera exposed amidst frozen crimson pools that glittered icily in the winter air.

Even its mere roar possesses power to clear the mist… These three Earth Dragons truly surpass their predecessors.

As this realization flashed through Lin Yu’s mind, the ant forces under Magic Rainbow’s command launched their attack the instant the fog dissipated.

Though the distance wasn’t ideal, circumstances permitted no delay.

Acid Ants unleashed their nocturnal accumulations of corrosive fluid – a viridian deluge cascading from the heavens in fan-shaped torrents!

The sizzling projectiles struck true, eating into the green-scaled hide… yet no pained shrieks followed. A faint luminescence now shimmered across the dragon’s armored plates.

"Of course," came the sneering Psychic Call that pierced every ant’s consciousness, its timbre like nails on slate. "Such pathetic strikes might fell weaklings…"

The creature’s contemptuous gaze swept the battlefield. "…but against me? Amateurish!"

The Earth Dragon’s throat pulsed with building fury, deep rumblings echoing like subterranean thunder.

Dragon’s breath!

But the ants were prepared. As the creature gathered its fiery onslaught, the terrain beneath its hindquarters liquefied – Earth Digging Ants activating their Quagmire skill.

Yet this smaller dragon possessed unexpected agility.

It sprang skyward just as the ground softened, evading the trap while releasing its stored inferno.

KRAKOOM!!!

A meter-thick pillar of flame descended like divine punishment –

Only to collide with Magic Rainbow’s glacial barrier rising three meters high!

Having feasted on dragon flesh through the night, Magic Rainbow and her brood now stood at Class A levels exceeding ten. Though outmatched in raw power, her intelligence-focused build might…

The ice wall held for but a heartbeat before shattering into vapor.

Of course not…

The fiery cataclysm now surged toward clustered Iron Armored Ants and Acid Ants – certain death for any caught in its wrath.
