Chapter 485: The Ruthless Hero

Although they all looked hopeless and some seemed to have lost the will to live, unlike the other six reincarnators, the little girl named He Qiwen, who possessed the “Unique Skill – Brave,” sometimes directed her gaze towards several Stealth Ants that had not yet transformed, her face showing sadness and anger.

This time, Lin Yu sent a team of twenty-one Ants to bring these seven reincarnators back to Foggy Castle. Among them, there were eleven transformed Ants, including two Iron Armored Ants, two Acid Ants, two Earth Digging Ants, two Demonic Ants, and two Flying Ants, while the remaining ten were still untransformed Stealth Ants, who were also strong and skilled at hiding and ambushing.

Through assessment, He Qiwen clearly understood that her group of reincarnators would never be a match for these frighteningly high-level Ants.

Moreover, the wrists of these six or seven-year-old children were shackled with handcuffs embedded with “Attribute-less Magic Stones” or “Anti-Magic Attribute Magic Stones.”

They were already weak, and now they could not even use the one or two skills they had.

“You damn monsters! I am the chosen hero, and I will never give in to you ugly creatures! Even if you take me to a dark dungeon, tie me to a wooden frame, and punish me with your long arms, I will… I will never surrender! Don’t believe me? If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try! I will never give in!”

“As for these useless reincarnators, don’t bother them. Use all your tricks on me; after all, I am the hero and must stand in front of them. Even if your ugly kind crawls all over me and I am humiliated and whipped by strange and terrifying instruments, I will never back down.”

“I know you must have all kinds of monster minions in your lair, right? Besides the ants, what else do you have? Goblins? Or wild wolves and ogres? Hmph, let them all come! Even if I am bullied by these greedy monsters, I will not make a sound!”

The childish cries echoed all the way, almost without stopping.

The little girl held her head high, putting on a proud demeanor while carefully observing the attitudes of the ant tribe around her.

Seeing that the ant tribe did not rush at her to give her a ‘lesson,’ He Qiwen felt a bit disappointed, feeling more expectation than anger inside her.

Ever since she became a hero, she had been looking forward to the day when she would face the Demon King in the future and her destiny.

Winning would be great, but if she lost… Just thinking about the possible humiliations made the girl feel a strange sensation she had never experienced before.

She originally thought she would have to wait several more years to battle the Demon King, but unexpectedly, she was captured by the suddenly powerful Ant Kingdom of the Empire without even seeing the Demon King.

After being handed over to the ants by the imperial officers, they were now on their way to Granville Monster Forest.

Before she could become famous on this continent as a hero, was she really going to be taken back to their lair by these ant monsters?

Thinking of some scenes she had seen in certain little notebooks from her past life, He Qiwen’s heart suddenly raced, and she quietly stuck out her little tongue to lick her lips.

She was not afraid of death; after all, if she were, she would not have been reborn into this world.

“Can you please be quiet? Don’t worry, as long as you behave, we won’t harm you little human kids, even if you are reincarnators.”

At that moment, the daughter of an ant named Acid Seventeen, who was walking in front, could no longer hold back and shouted to He Qiwen.

“What?! Not going to harm us? How could that be? Do you think I would believe the lies of you monsters just because I am a child? You just want us to feel safe first, then show us the true hell, right? And then look down from above, laughing as we are slowly… ummm…”

Seeing that He Qiwen had no intention of stopping, the daughter of the Acid Ant finally couldn’t take it anymore, walked over, and stuffed a cloth into her mouth.

Just seeing herself forcefully stuffing the cloth into the other person’s mouth, the little girl rolled her eyes up, and while her gaze was a little dazed, a strange blush appeared on her cheeks, and a thin line of water trickled from the corner of her mouth…

Acid Seventeen instinctively pulled her hand back at this sight.

The little girl’s behavior suddenly reminded her of Sister Lvzi, who was also an Acid Ant but someone all the Acid Ant sisters tended to avoid.

“Weird… strange creature…”

“But, it’s finally quiet now that she has stopped talking.”

Acid Ant’s daughter ignored her and turned back to the front of the line.

“Sister, if we want to go to the nearest space gate, will these magic-canceling handcuffs on the reincarnators affect the space gate’s magic array?”

Just as she had gone to stuff the cloth into He Qiwen’s mouth, Acid Seventeen suddenly thought of this concern.

She turned to look at the leader of the group—a small girl with black hair and black eyes, whose expression seemed timid.

“I, I also… don’t know.”

“Oh, I see… it’s not a big problem. When the time comes, even if we take off the handcuffs, with my sister and us here, these little guys won’t be able to escape.”

Seeing Weak Sound looking a bit down, Acid Seventeen quickly waved a hand to comfort her.

In her eyes, this sister, although very powerful, had a shy and cute personality.

Even when she talked to her now, she tilted her head and blushed, and with her small and adorable body, it was hard not to want to hold her close and cherish her.

…

Soon.

Everyone arrived at an ant nest base near the empire where a space gate had just been set up.

As they entered the underground through the ground opening, the six reincarnators looked terrified and even scared, but the one named He Qiwen, the “brave one,” had a flash of light in her eyes.

Is it finally coming?

In the dark underground, countless ants of all sizes crawled all over their bodies, their sharp jaws tearing at their clothes, and the long ant legs moved across their skin, causing goosebumps to rise, and then…

He Qiwen truly could not dare to think any further.

However, things did not develop as she had expected.

In the cave, they met many ants coming and going, but aside from greeting the nearby humanoid and non-humanoid ants with a few chirps, they mostly just glanced at the reincarnators before walking around them.

Finally, everyone arrived in a spacious room deep inside the cave, where the space gate was placed.
