Chapter 144: Is It Going to Change?

Three days later.

North of the forest.

"Stop it! Don’t let it escape!"

"Yes, Sister Army Lady!"

"Ah, Military One! It’s heading your way!"

"Don’t worry! Leave it to me!"

A leopard-like monster nimbly dodged the attacks of several Military Ants, and just as it was about to escape, a shiny black ant suddenly leaped out from behind a large tree.

Activating the skills "Charge" and "Speed,"

the ant transformed into a black shadow and crashed into the side of the leopard monster, sending it flying.

After being knocked away, the monster rolled on the ground a few times. However, being a Class A Monster, despite being caught off guard, it only suffered superficial wounds from the Class B Military Ant’s attack.

As it flipped over and jumped up, ready to flee, its abdomen was suddenly pierced with a "thud."

"Ow!!"

The monster screamed in agony.

It had been pierced by a long front leg of the ant.

After the scream, the monster attempted to escape again, but it was too late.

With its front leg pulled out, trailing a line of blood, a black figure appeared before the monster.

"Well done, Military One."

After praising, Army Lady activated the skill "Magnification."

Her jaws enlarged, and with a sharp snap, she bit off the limbs of the leopard-like monster.

She threw the severed limbs to Military One beside her.

Military One leaped to catch them, tossing the other three to the other Military Ants, while she grabbed one front leg and began to munch on it.

Army Lady used the skill "Identification" to observe the monster writhing on the ground in pain from its severed limbs; its Health Value had dropped to below one-tenth and it was in a "Bleeding" state.

She retrieved a small pile of Smoked Grass from another space, chewed it, and then spat it onto the monster’s bleeding limbs.

Smoked Grass is a medicinal herb used to stop bleeding.

After waiting for a while, the "Bleeding" state of the leopard-like monster finally disappeared when its Health Value dropped to just over ten.

Army Lady breathed a sigh of relief.

This must be the fifteenth Class A Monster.

Mom just needs a little more Experience Value to level up. If she kills this one, it should be enough. After Mom levels up, her Magic Value will be fully restored, which means that by then…

Army Lady’s heart suddenly began to race.

"Let’s head back."

"Huh? But Sister Army Lady, it’s still early."

Creak, creak…

Military One gnawed on the paw of a feline monster and asked curiously,

"Why not just have Army Nineteen and Military Two take this monster back?"

Army Nineteen and Military Two were the lowest-ranked members of the Military Ant team, so they always carried the wounded monsters back first, while the rest of the Military Ants continued hunting.

"Don’t call me Army Lady."

Army Lady restrained the urge to hit Military One because she was in a good mood.

She approached the terrified Class A Monster, picked it up with her jaws, and placed it on her back.

However, just that one action seemed to aggravate an internal injury, and the monster’s Health Value decreased by two points.

"If we defeat this monster, Mom should be able to level up."

"Really! Does that mean Sister Army Lady will become a human?"

"Yes."

Military One cheered.

The other Military Ants were also delighted for their big sister.

Then, they "escorted" the Class A Monster back to Foggy Castle.

…

Through Military Eleven’s perspective, Lin Yu discovered that Army Lady had captured another Class A Monster.

The girl felt a surge of excitement.

Finally, another daughter is about to become a person!

I wonder what Army Lady will look like after transforming~

She hurried downstairs to greet her daughter, and there were no ant creatures following her anymore.

After three days of eating and leveling up, all the newly born A Qualification ant creatures and B Qualification ants, including Worker Ant Little Liquor and Weak Ant Weak Sound, had started their hunting activities.

"Our little sisters need real combat experience; just eating raw meat and finishing off weak monsters isn’t enough."

The suggestion came from Demonic Ant Magic Rainbow.

"However, it will take some time to get used to fighting. During this period, Sister Red Pupil and Sister Stealth One will protect us, right?"

So, even Red Pupil and some Stealth Ants followed along.

Although there were almost no strong monsters near the castle, just in case, they did need some powerful bodyguards.

The only ones who could judge the strength of friends and foes and save the daughter at a crucial moment were Red Pupil, who possessed the "Life Connection" skill, and the Stealth Ants with the highest agility.

Red Pupil walked beside Magic Rainbow; it seemed they had maintained a good relationship since they first met.

However, both of them were already the most popular ants in the colony. Even though Magic Rainbow was born not long ago, she seemed to get along well with everyone.

Why does it feel like she is more popular than me, her mother?

Then there were Purple Cloud and Purple Mist. Being Flying Ants, if they only targeted weaker monsters that were fewer in number, there was no danger at all, so other Stealth Ants didn’t need to watch over them, and it was also difficult for Stealth Ants to keep an eye on them.

As for Darkling Stalker, she seemed to enjoy hunting more than Army Lady. She rarely stayed in the castle, so she leveled up faster than all the new ants. If it weren’t for her bad habit of tormenting monsters, she would probably level up even faster.

However… I haven’t really observed her much.

Because she is very sharp… and she fights alone. No matter which ant tribe she is with, she always notices me observing her.

And the way she notices is usually when the other person suddenly disappears and then appears right in front of me the next moment.

It’s really scary!

If observing the other daughters is like watching a daily show, a farming show, and a fighting show, then watching Darkling Stalker turns into a horror show.

The rest were Little Liquor and Weak Sound.

Actually, Little Liquor, being a Worker Ant, couldn’t go hunting, but she needed to be able to protect herself. Plus, Little Liquor didn’t like to level up by eating raw meat, so she went out hunting.

When she wasn’t hunting, she either pestered herself about wanting to eat cooked food or went to the underground ant hole. Since she also had the skill "Magical Soil," she was building her own Herb Garden.

Because she was an A Qualification ant, her saliva made the Magical Soil work better than the other Worker Ants.

The wild vegetables and mushrooms grown with Little Liquor’s saliva had been used to make dishes, and they tasted better than those grown by other Worker Ants.

As for Weak Sound, besides Stealth Ten following her, Lvzi also went along, which showed they really had a good friendship.

However, while peeping from a distance, Lvzi’s gaze felt a bit unpleasant, but Weak Sound’s gaze was much cleaner, and once caught looking, she quickly shrunk her head back in a flustered way.

Because she was quite cute, sometimes I pretended not to notice her and suddenly looked over.

Hehe, I’m such a tease…

Ah, while I was daydreaming, Army Lady had returned.

…

The girl quickly walked out of the castle gate to greet her.

"Mom, this is a newly caught Class A Monster. It only has a little bit of Health left, so please take care of it quickly."

Army Lady didn’t shake off the monster; instead, she crouched down to signal Lin Yu to attack directly.

"Hmm."

The girl did not hesitate. She raised her long sword, which she had prepared earlier, and stabbed it into the monster’s head.

The sword sank in deeply.

The monster’s Health Value reached zero.

In the next moment, a long-awaited notification sound rang out.
