The attack didn't come. Xiao Wu found the ant's claws blocked by black trident pierced at the ground. In the last moment, Tang San had thrown his trident, precisely stopping the ant.
"Shinx!" A yellow light flashed and the ant was pushed away 30 meters. Chenxiang stood there, her rapier pointing at the ant.
Both Chenxiang and Tang San were exhausted and injured, but even so, they quickly went to help Xiao Wu. Combining their strength, they were sure that would be able to win against the already hurt ant.
Both position in front of Xiao Wu, protecting her and preparing to face the ant.
The ant stood up. It looked around to the state of its brother "CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" It shouted madly "Humans! Die!" its body started shivering, purple and black aura exploding from its body.
The crystal of the cave seemed to react, their glow becoming brighter. "CRRRRRRRRRRR!" "CRRRRRRRRRRRR!" The seeming corpses of its two brothers started shouting, even with their heads cut in half, they showed their brutal resilience, not dying yet.
From the crystal, black and green aura surged towards the three ants, the ants absorbing it. The ants' body started shining with a golden black color as their body started healing at an incredible speed. The bigger one's cracks were repaired while the other two's parts were being regrown under the shocked face of the human trio.
In no more than 5 seconds, the light from the crystal dimmed, darkening the cave. The ants stood standing completely healed, their eyes shining with a bright purple light. It wasn't only physically, even their strength was recovered, reaching the same state of before the battle, they might be even stronger now.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Chenxiang's faces showed their shock and despair. Even if that healing ability was a one-time skill, they would be unable to face against the three ants in their states, even more now than the ants were warry of them.
"EAT!" "EAT!" "EAT!" the three ants charged towards them, their mandibles twitching of expectancy to eat.
-------------------------------------------------------
Bai dashed across a corridor at maximum speed. Knowing that Chenxiang, Xiao Wu, and Tang San were facing strong enemies and let him escape, he needed to finish it quickly and help them.
After 2 minutes, finally, it could be seen light at the end of the corridor. And over 1 km area stood in front of Bai, all full of trees and plants resembling a leafing forest. However, if someone went to look close enough, he would realize that they weren't plants, they were a crystallization of pure vitality in the form of plants.
Each plant was surrounded by a black aura that all converged to the center of the area where a figure stood. A human figure with a black armor with some golden lines across the helmet that resembled the ants from before, four antennas, 6 eyes, and two more ant's extremities under its normal-looking arms. It was surrounded by a powerful purple and black aura
Bai instantly recognized her, it was Mayi. There seemed to be something wrong with their connection as it seemed blurry, like if there were some external interference, but Bai was sure that she was her.
"Mayi" Bai slowly said. Mayi had long discovered Bai's presence, she was simply stood still, looking at him.
Mayi's brown eyes glowed with a purple light "CRRRRRRRRRR!" her helmet mandibles shivered. Suddenly, she disappeared.
"Fuc-!" "BOOOM!" Bai was shot forward, crashing some trees and finally slamming towards the wall, a cloud of dust hiding his figure.
Mayi now stood on where Bai was before. Her speed, defense, and strength were incredible, each one greater than her brothers'. It wouldn't be wrong to say that she had reached the apex of the ant beasts, the ultimate power of attributes.
Once the dust cleared, it showed Bai surrounded by eleven broken swords that were protecting in front of him, eight spirit rings under him, his 4th and 5th shining brightly. Bai could react at the last moment, invoking his spirit, covering in Protection Intent and barely blocking Mayi's hit.
A single hit from Mayi was enough to break all of Bai's swords that were a condensation of his comprehension and even shooting him like a ball. Moreover, Bai was sure that she wasn't showing her maximum strength.
"I don't think that we will be able to talk" With that hit, Bai learned that it would be impossible to normally win against Mayi, she was too strong. Also, it was impossible to reason with her. The purple aura around her was too thick, incomparable to any previous ant.
A simple hit from Mayi caused the purple aura to invade Bai. That little aura was corroding Bai's body and mind, resent and death trying to take him over. It was normal for Mayi to not be able to control herself with such a great aura.
5 black rings appeared around Bai's left arm in combination with his 8 under him. The rings shined, another eleven swords appearing surrounding him, Bai's attributes reaching his limit. "Crunch!" Bai ate two Oreos recovering the spirit energy of his 5th skill.
If Bai wanted to fight against Mayi, he would need to go all out. Only with using his full strength without thinking of backslash or spirit power exhaustion would he be able to fight her. It would be only for a little time and it wasn't sure that he would win, but it was the only way.
"It seems that I need to do it the hard way" At Bai's hand, a long purple weapon appeared. Bai slashed the air, the purple aura invading him completely disappearing inside the weapon "Let's dance, Mayi"
