Chapter 102: Untitled
In these past few months, I’ve only been able to see Mom at the castle when she lays her eggs. Do you think she’s deliberately avoiding me? Army Lady, I always feel like Mom dislikes me.
Perhaps…
Army Lady signaled the other Military Ants to spread out, surrounding the target monster—a cow-like creature—while responding to Lvzi, who was perched on her back.
However, after speaking, she suddenly felt something was amiss.
How many times do I have to tell you, don’t call me Army Lady! Get off me!
No, I can help you!
You always steal my experience! If you want to level up, go fight on your own and stop clinging to me. "Don’t be so harsh. We’re sisters from the same batch, after all. Little Army Lady is so strong, it feels safer by your side."
Hmph, if you want safety, go find Sister Red Pupil.
No, I can’t… Sister Red Pupil smells like Mom… Mom. Haah… haah…
Army Lady heard the sound of heavy breathing behind her, and at the same time, something dripped onto her back, instantly dampening her mood.
This girl…
She’s usually fine, but whenever Mom is mentioned, she becomes strange.
Acid One and Acid Two don’t act like this, but wait… it seems they’ve been influenced by Lvzi lately?
As she struggled to shake off the annoying girl on her back, Lvzi clung tightly to Army Lady with all six limbs, pleading for mercy.
Meanwhile, the Military Ants finally spread out and encircled the massive cow-like monster.
Sister Army Lady! We’ve surrounded the target!
Military One, we’ll duel later.
Huh? Why?
Ignoring Military One, Army Lady paused and glanced back at Lvzi, who looked a bit dazed from being jostled on her back.
I’ll let you off for now, but we’ll settle this after the battle.
With that, she charged forward.
The monster seemed to notice her, stopping its grazing to launch an attack at Army Lady.
It’s magic!
Two water balls formed in the air and shot toward her in the next instant.
It’s the magic "Water Ball." Unlike the "Fire Ball," which primarily causes damage through burning, the "Water Ball" inflicts damage by impact.
The two water balls sped toward her, but Army Lady simply adjusted her trajectory and effortlessly dodged the attack.
The water balls struck the ground, creating two large craters.
Even low-level magic can cause significant destruction when cast by an advanced monster.
After evading the attack, Army Lady’s speed increased rather than decreased.
She closed the distance to the cow-like monster in an instant. As the monster prepared to cast its second spell, her jaws suddenly enlarged, and with terrifying force, she cleanly severed both of the monster’s front limbs.
Part of "Magnification"—a power Army Lady acquired through countless battles. It allows her to temporarily enlarge a part of her body, boosting her Health Value Limit and the strength of that enlarged part, while significantly reducing Magic Value consumption.
In some respects, it can be considered an optimization and enhancement of the skill "Magnification."
However, achieving this is no easy feat; even Red Pupil has yet to master this ability. The application of skills is not static.
Take, for instance, the "Water Ball" and "Fire Ball" skills. With proficiency, one can unleash two water balls simultaneously, much like the monster before her.
Now, let’s return to the present.
The monster’s water ball attack missed its mark, and the cow-like monster, incapacitated by Army Lady’s assault, bellowed in agony.
Now is the moment!
Army Lady felt a thrill of excitement; for her, the pinnacle of battle was the instant she claimed her enemy’s life. If she could just sever the monster’s neck now, victory would be hers!
Just as this thought crossed her mind, her back suddenly felt unburdened, and a green ant sprang forth, enlarging as it soared through the air.
I’ll deliver the final blow—
As Lvzi lunged toward the monster, her massive jaws, dripping with brown-green acid, aimed for the monster’s neck, but she was just a fraction too slow.
Army Lady outpaced her; anticipating Lvzi’s move, she swiftly moved ahead and decisively bit through the monster’s neck, securing the experience.
Ah! Why did you do that…
That was my prey, you know.
She still acted all wronged even though she couldn’t snatch it.
Army Lady felt speechless.
The reason she got snatched a few times before was that she didn’t think this guy would be so shameless.
If it were weaker sisters, it would be different. After all, helping the sisters grow is one of the responsibilities of the older ones. But this guy is simply lazy. The reason he has been following to hunt monsters in the north is that Mom has been spending very little time in the castle lately.
As for why Mom has been away from the castle so much lately…
I heard from Sister Red Pupil that it is because a little human girl was found in the forest. Mom seems to really like that little girl and has been helping train her with Stealth One and the others for the past few months.
It really makes one envious.
The reason the weak little human girl can attract Mom is probably because of her human appearance, right?
Speaking of which, I do recall parts about humans in the memories I have from when I was born. The appearance of humans does seem much more beautiful than ours as Ants. Hmm, the reason I think this way is probably also influenced by Mom.
Because my mom is a reincarnator, before she was reborn, she was a very beautiful woman of the human race!
Although I have never seen what my mom looked like before her rebirth, I can somewhat imagine it from her current ant form.
My mom probably likes her human race appearance more than her ant form.
If I could turn into a human, could I also…
Hey, Army Lady, what are you thinking about?
I was thinking… Ah! You called me that nickname again! By the way, I almost forgot, I need to teach you and Military One a lesson!
Ah! Why me too!
So, the other Military Ants were eating fresh, warm raw beef while watching the duel between Army Lady and Military One and Lvzi.
Even though it was one against two, Army Lady had no trouble handling both Military One and Lvzi.
Not only the Military Ants were watching the show, but also Lin Yu.
She quietly focused her gaze on Military Eleven, who was chewing on beef.
Hm… Mom! Mommy!
The connected Military Eleven seemed a bit surprised, even choking on his meat, and only after swallowing it did he excitedly shout.
Shh, be quieter.
Even though I don’t know why we need to be quieter.
At that moment, the battle in front of them had come to a conclusion, with Military One and Lvzi being completely defeated, Military One was kicked away by Army Lady, while Lvzi was pinned down by Army Lady and was crying for mercy.
Lin Yu watched the interaction between Army Lady and Lvzi and felt inexplicably healed.
They hadn’t seen each other for just a little while, and they had already become so close.
Mom is very pleased.
However, I came this time to share some news.
Recently, the Red Fruit Tree has produced more fruit, so I can share some with them, and we can prepare for a dinner party.
It will be a family dinner.
After all, it’s been a long time since we gathered together. During the dinner, we can also take some time to check the current levels and progress of the ant colony, and I have some important things to remind them about.
But organizing the dinner will be left to Red Pupil and the others, since I am not good in big crowds.
