Chapter 493: The Demon King’s Defeat

Once the group entered the Conference Hall, there was no need for the two elder demons to explain; Chen Ke, who used the Identification skill on Lin Yu and the others, saw through their ant identities.

However, what surprised him the most was the level of Lin Yu and the other ants.

Besides Lin Yu and Red Pupil, who were Class S, the other fifty ants were all powerful Class A high-level beings…

Is there really such a strong local power on this continent? No, wait, that is—

Through the Identification, Chen Ke saw the name of the skill that Lin Yu possessed, “Unique Skill – Queen Ant.”

I see… she is another reincarnator, and she is very beautiful; the women in the demon race tribe cannot compare to her.

No, now is not the time to think about that.

Even though she is a reincarnator, she is not a hero.

Following the mysterious feeling, Chen Ke’s gaze finally landed on the weakest little girl among all the people present.

Besides the “Unique Skill – Brave,” this little girl had almost no other skills.

So weak… really too weak. Even though they were all around six or seven years old, if it were a one-on-one match, this little girl could be defeated with just one finger.

However, he could understand why.

After all, this girl was born in a human race country. While she could proclaim her identity as a hero, if she did that, she would gain some support from the human race but would also become a primary target for other reincarnators.

Considering this point, it made sense that she would want to stay at this low level.

In contrast, he found that although his demon race tribe faced tough situations, these members were still loyal to the Demon King. Therefore, he could ask them to catch monsters in the forest to gain Experience Value from the final blow on the monsters.

As for the third reincarnator, Chen Ke found it hard to believe that a reincarnator had turned into a monster, as surviving in the Monster Forest was extremely dangerous.

Moreover, this reincarnator not only survived but also had such a powerful group of followers… it was truly unbelievable.

…

Let’s get back to the main topic.

After briefly checking the Attribute Panels of the people entering the Conference Hall, Chen Ke roughly understood the current situation.

The currently weak hero has likely become a captive of this Queen Ant reincarnator, which means these ant people found their hiding place by using the hero’s Unique Skill.

I… have been defeated…

And it was a total defeat with complete overpowering.

After all, even with the fifty or so people in the Conference Hall, my group was already no match for them. If we consider the countless ant people outside, we shouldn’t be thinking about whether we can win or escape, but rather about how we will die.

“I never expected to lose not to the hero, but to you.”

The young boy, who had already stepped down from the platform, sighed and said.

“What do you plan to do next, kill me and the hero together?”

“Do I look like the kind of person who would leave no one alive?”

Lin Yu asked back.

The girl with white hair was feeling good at that moment. When Chen Ke evaluated her, she also took a look at him.

Given his Class A level, he certainly would not be a match for the ant tribe, and he did not seem like the kind of reckless person who does not listen.

“It seemed… not like that.”

Although the monsters that had been sent out before were all defeated, those monsters were just beasts and could not compare to her demon race.

Even though she had followers with power far greater than her own, she did not make a move…

“Then what do you plan to do, my lord?”

“I won’t kill you, but I definitely can’t let you stay here.”

This time, Magic Rainbow took over Lin Yu’s words and conveniently grabbed a pair of magic-restricting handcuffs from her sisters behind her, throwing them on the ground in front of Chen Ke.

“What is this?”

“Magic-restricting handcuffs, just as the name suggests.”

The white-haired girl squinted as she explained.

“I want you and the Class A or higher demons, including these two elders from the demon race, to wear the handcuffs and come back with us. This way, we can promise not to kill you.”

…

Chen Ke and the six other Class A members put on the handcuffs, and the Ant Clan took them along with the remaining demon race members back to Granville Monster Forest.

Along the way, Chen Ke learned a small part of the Ant Country’s power from Hero He Qiwen, and the little boy, the Demon King, could not help but feel grateful for his quick decision to surrender.

The girls, who had made a big fuss, felt a bit disappointed in the end, as it seemed like all noise and little action.

Most of them just went for a little walk and then returned.

After returning to the forest and settling Demon King Chen Ke and his demon race friends in the ant town near the dragon cave, the ants began to search for the remaining reincarnators.

Lin Yu was not worried about Demon King Chen Ke and his demon race escaping; after all, all the “residents” of the ant town were ants, and Chen Ke and his companions were almost always under surveillance.

…

Later.

Days passed.

The ants discovered a hidden cabin backed by a hill in the southeast direction of the Deta Empire.

“Who would live in such a remote area away from human race towns?”

A girl with green hair frowned slightly as she looked at the small wooden house with its door half open.

“There are monsters around this hill, so the one living here must be an adventurer from the human race.”

At this moment, another young woman with black hair, who looked a few years older than the green-haired girl, chimed in.

The green-haired girl was named Acid Ant, with a number over two thousand, while the black-haired young woman was named Iron Armored Ant, also with a number above two thousand. Both were beautiful and exquisite women.

They had played and fought together since they were born, and they were partners in hunting and battles.

They were also part of one of the many ant squads involved in this search for the reincarnator mission.

After speaking, the black-haired young woman lifted her foot and walked toward the wooden house.

The green-haired girl hurried to follow her.

With a “creak,” they pulled open the half-hidden door, but the two girls could not find anyone inside the house.

Moreover, the room looked very messy.

Simple wooden furniture like chairs was either leaning in all directions or simply broken and left aside.

The only thing that was not broken was the wooden square table in the middle of the room, which even had some steaming hot food on it.

It looked like it had just been made.

Besides that, a pair of chopsticks on the table still had a few grains of white rice on them.

In the empty room, there was a table of warm food that had been half-eaten.

This means…

The daughter of Acid Ant and the daughter of Iron Armored Ant exchanged serious glances.

“The owner of the house must not have gone far; we should inform the other sisters first.”

“Hmm.”

After asking Lin Yu to send a message to the other sisters nearby, the two partners began to search around.

To be able to notice and escape before they arrived… it seemed the owner of that cabin was not an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, the two women felt a little more cautious.
