Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 919 - 661: Smuggling_3

The Flame Spider Tribe cannot be provoked, which is why they have never been visited.

As it approached,

the Dark Maple Dragonfly King suddenly slowed down.

Hovering in the sky, it first activated the Scorching Ability to observe and examine the situation on the island.

At the southern end of the island, a large rectangular area of forest remains lush and verdant, with abundant vegetation.

The surrounding mountainous terrain, after fierce battles, is broken beyond recognition, littered with debris. The tropical jungle swept by the flame ability still smolders, smoke curling upward.

On the island, a large number of Specialized Blue Soldiers are busy transporting and clearing bodies, stacking them into mounds.

On the southern coast beach, standing from high to low are 18 stone columns. The highest column is adorned with the head of an Ant King; the second highest column displays the large head of a Sea God Horn Beetle Warrior; the third column bears another Ant King’s head.

Behind them is a long row of equally tall stone columns, displaying heads of Ant Kings, Assistant Kings, and Sea God Horn Beetle Warriors.

Beside them are two small hills, neatly stacked with the heads of ordinary Sea God Horn Beetles and Assistant Kings.

"Could it be... these are all..."

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King suddenly realized, his heart trembled, and he surged forward with speed towards the island.

A red and black light came up to block the path.

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King paused, hovered silently, and stared.

Blackwing? Is there such a Dragonfly Tribe in the Southern Hemisphere?

And an Insect Clan Warrior, recognizable only as a type of Jifeng; by observing its emotional fluctuations, it’s clear it’s not friendly.

"Who are you?"

"Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom, Dark Maple Dragonfly King."

"Dark Maple Leader? I’ve heard Dragon Cypress Ant King mention you."

"Hmm--"

"Good that you know! So may I ask, who are you two...?"

"I’m White Willow."

"Red Moonseed! We are scouts of the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom. Dragon Cypress Ant King has ordered that no one should approach within thirty kilometers of Rainbow Island, otherwise..."

"Understood--"

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King asked, "Is the Dragon Cypress Ant King on the island?"

Red Moonseed asked back, "Dark Maple Leader, didn’t you know? The Dragon Cypress Ant King entered Zhibai Continent to hunt Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King."

Dark Maple Dragonfly King: "..."

Dragon Cypress’s strategy is not considered clever; it’s not hard to entice Blue Island to attack Rainbow Island, but the difficult part is how to win.

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King felt that the Jifeng Warrior was not very friendly, so he got straight to the point and said, "I’m here to confirm the battle situation on Rainbow Island... Were any Kirin Beasts slain? Kirin Beast Ant King?"

Red Moonseed: "In this battle, three Kirin Beasts from Blue Island were killed, fifteen sea beasts, twenty Sea God Horn Beetle Warriors, and seventy-four Assistant Kings. Their heads are all placed on the beach; the Dark Maple Dragonfly King can see for itself."

"I see them..."

Having gotten a definite answer, the Dark Maple Dragonfly King’s mind couldn’t help but surge with emotion again, leaving only one thought: Blue Island is finished.

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King quickly realized again.

This could not be done by just the Mantis King Ink Orchid.

After all, only at the King Level of evolutionary stage, no matter how powerful the ability, the primordial energy within has limits.

With so many insects, even if they were to stand still to be killed, one ability kills one, the primordial energy within would not suffice.

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King was convinced that Rainbow Island had other formidable Insect Clan Warriors hidden, for example, some powerful Spider Kings from the Flame Spider Kingdom...

Shanglu is the most mysterious force in the Southern Hemisphere; no insect can doubt the strength of the Flame Spider Tribe.

But the Flame Spider Tribe is neutral; Flame Spider Roving Merchants do not partake in continental warfare...

But on this remote small island away from the continent...

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King felt his guesses were almost correct.

In such matters, it’s wise to see but not speak.

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King pondered slightly and tested, "Where is the Mantis King Ink Orchid?"

Red Moonseed: "In this battle, the Mantis King Ink Orchid consumed a lot and is urgently recovering primordial energy."

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King: "Then can I conveniently visit the island?"

"It’s not convenient!"

Red Moonseed firmly rejected.

White Willow said, "Dark Maple Dragonfly King, if you have any matters, you can discuss them with me and Red Moonseed."

Red Moonseed said, "The kingdom’s matters cannot be decided by the Mantis King Ink Orchid. If the Dark Maple Dragonfly King has important issues, it must wait for the Dragon Cypress Ant King to return and discuss with it."

— Surely, there must be a large group of Flame Spiders hidden on the island.

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King was again confident of his guess, and asked, "When will the Dragon Cypress Ant King return?"

Red Moonseed: "I don’t know."

White Willow: "Before departing, the Dragon Cypress Ant King instructed that after the war at Rainbow Island ends, immediately replenish and recover, await its return, and accompany it on a counterattack against Yu’e Island."

"Got it!"

The Dark Maple Dragonfly King did not entangle further and said, "Then I’ll immediately return to Smoke Blue Mountain, organize the army for a counterattack!"

...

...

White Willow and Red Moonseed did not dare to slack, after sending off the Dark Maple Dragonfly King, immediately returned to Rainbow Island, took turns ascending skyward, used the Scorching Ability to observe and remain vigilant.

On the island.

Round Cypress commanded Worker Ants to dig a pit under the Life Seed Plant tree, burying Ant Kings, Assistant Kings, Bettle Kings to compost fertilizers.

On the coast, pits were dug to bury their own fallen Ant Soldiers.

Black Peach counted injured Ant Soldiers, organized them, lined them up to find Blue Catalpa to connect limbs, Woodberry activated ability to treat injuries.

Black Persimmon, Rainbow Parasol Tree commanded Specialized Blue Soldiers to tidy and sort ordinary Stone Hunt Blue Ant Soldier Ant bodies, transporting them back to Xianglan Peak Main Nest in batches.

These are all high-quality foods.

Initial Refinement of Specialized Blue Ants.

Black Sophora, Cypress, Silver Cypress activated Refinement Ability to make White Refining Beads.

Spiked Cypress and Giant Cypress jointly tallied own losses and reorganized the troops.

Post-war work proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Nearing noon, as White Willow who was scouting high above descended vertically, hovering atop the King Cypress.

"The Great King has returned!"

The message spread at the speed of light through the Divine-Given Seed and Soul-Setting Ability across the island.

Before long,

a wing-spanning black Giant Ant flew like the wind, circled a big loop, and landed on the southern beach of the island.
