Tokyo underground city

Chapter 116 Aizen

After determining how to deal with the new cicada-eating ants, the atmosphere in the rescue team also relaxed.

Yuan Xiaole calls the male and female cicada-eating ants [soul-capturing ants]. According to him, these two new types of ants are a bit like a monster called the 'soul-capturing demon' in a certain board game. So we might as well call them Soul Prisoners.

The total destruction of Ah Jiu's team was also a huge blow to the Cicada-Eating Ants.

The night attack that Officer Shao expected did not happen.

During the night, Lin Huai'en woke up twice. He could hear Officer Shao or Deputy Lu walking and talking outside, but he fell asleep again soon.

Early the next morning, Officer Shao got up late as usual.

This time, even Lin Huai'en and Yuan Xiaole were not used to it.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Officer Shao yawned loudly in front of everyone: "There was no night attack yesterday, which is a good thing. This shows that the enemy is beginning to think that we are a little troublesome."

"It's not difficult for them to swarm us, but they will definitely suffer heavy losses under the restraint of [Haoran Fire]."

"If I'm not wrong, the controllers of the Cicada Eater Ants are planning not only to eliminate us, but to catch us all and train us into Soul Prisoner Ant soldiers like the Pioneer Squad."

Officer Shao said while pointing to himself with a smile: "Especially as the owner of the rainbow skill, I must be very attractive to the leader of the ant colony."

"So, in today's action, everyone is still protecting me. When we meet the leader of the ant colony, I will deal with him."

King versus king, Lin Huai'en remembered this word inexplicably.

After yesterday's battle, the police force also changed its fighting style.

When they encountered an armored soldier ant regiment composed of one or two soul-capturing ants again, they were not eager to fight with each other. Instead, they first let the police officer holding a giant sword shoot at the middle of the monster with a machine gun.

Just when the monsters were blocked by the bodies of their companions in front and swarmed to both sides, the two swordsman police officers threw grenades.

After the grenade exploded, the police officers rushed forward and harvested the ant colony.

After several iterations, even the ant colony itself gave up the wall-attack tactic of armored soldier ants and reactivated the hybrid combination of large soldier ants and fire-breathing ants.

As for this combination of distance and distance, even Officer Shao and the others had no good solution. They could only use bullets and physical strength to forcibly consume the number of enemies.

And in turn, so is the purpose of the ant colony.

Soon, the precision shooters put away their rifles, drew their swords and joined in the close combat.

However, the ant colony's attack suddenly stopped.

This weird silence made everyone feel uncomfortable.

I encountered several ant nests one after another, and all the monsters inside disappeared completely.

Only the empty green jar ants and the placenta of the vengeful red cicada on the ground remained.

As for Officer Shao and the others, they couldn't care less about dealing with these immovable ant nest facilities. Neither physical strength nor bullets were allowed.

Just slowed down a bit.

In this eerie silence, they walked forward for two hours and finally encountered a new enemy——

A fighting force composed of 12 Soul Prisoner Ants and more ordinary soldier ants.

Lin Huai'en was a little surprised, but not surprised to see that this Soul Prisoner Ant troop was commanded by an "Ice Soul Prisoner Ant".

Two individuals, much larger than the other soul-prisoning ants, stood behind the ant colony.

One has flames floating around it, and the other has a touch of frost on its body.

Adjutant Lu quickly recited the skill information of these two soul-capturing ants:

"'Neal' is a flame-type Soul Prisoner Ant. Her skills are fireball, flame spray, and fire shield."

"The other spell-type Soul Prisoner Ant is the ice mage 'Aizen'. His skills include [Ice Freezing] and [Supercritical Freezing]."

"These are their data at level 11. After entering the fifth level, it is impossible to know whether they have acquired new skills."

"In short, it's better to be careful."

Hearing Adjutant Lu's instructions, everyone else nodded: "Okay."

The Ice Prisoner Soul Ants roared, and eight melee Soul Prisoner Ants controlled the ordinary soldier ants around them and surrounded Lin Huaien and others.

Officer Shao and the others formed a circular formation and watched with vigilance as the cicada-eating ants slowly approached——

"Free fire!" he suddenly shouted the order.

All the police officers released their swords and raised their guns!

The burst of firepower instantly blew the heads of four soul-capturing ants!

At this moment, dozens of long-headed glue-spraying ants jumped down from the ceiling directly above Officer Shao and the others, spraying dozens of white glue like a heavy rain at them!

Lin Huai'en was caught off guard and was sprayed all over, making his whole body sticky and wet.

"Damn it! It's an ambush! The cicada-eating ants really want to capture us alive!"

Lin Huai'en subconsciously wanted to activate the shadow stealth, but when he heard the voice from behind, he retracted his idea.

Officer Shao was behind him and whispered:

"[Haoran Fire]!"

The white flames that instantly rose up obscured Lin Huaien's sight.

Just when he thought the crisis was over——

He suddenly flew up.

To be precise, backwards.

His ears were ringing, and it took him a while to realize that it was an explosion.

He hit the wall hard, coughing out a trace of blood, and his whole body was surrounded by the flames of the fireball explosion.

Lin Huai'en raised his head in embarrassment.

But he only saw a cold sickle, slashing towards his neck!

And long before he was hit, his body had already begun to frost!

"Aizen!" His pupils suddenly shrank.

He didn't expect that the Ice Prisoner Soul Ant would actually target him!

Thinking back to the series of strange behaviors and tactics of the cicada-eating ants, everything seems to have an answer——

"Damn, these monsters can not only use Aizen's skills, but also their thoughts and memories!"

Lin Huai'en suddenly activated his Youxing skills.

He passed by the Ice Soul Prisoner Ant, and the moment he released the ghost state, he slashed at the Soul Prisoner Ant behind him with his backhand.

However, the red edge of Gray Green Fury was blocked by an ice blade.

The Ice Prisoner Soul Ant stared at Lin Huai'en with indifferent eyes.

Through the translucent carapace of the Soul Prisoner Ant, he could even see the faint outline of the body inside!

"You damn monster!"

Lin Huaien gritted his teeth and took a step back. He wanted to continue attacking, but his posture when he landed was wrong, and his progress was blocked.

However, almost the moment he retreated, Lin Huai'en felt the [Sword Theory] skill activated.

He tilted his head to one side almost without hesitation, and the next second, the Soul Prisoner Ant's ice blade had already passed through there!

"Shadow Sneak!"

Without hesitation, Lin Huai'en activated his skills again and threw himself into the arms of the Soul Prisoner Ant.

The soul-capturing ant is 2.5 meters tall, and its attack range is almost twice that of him. Apart from shadow sneaking, he can't think of any other way to get close to the soul-capturing ant's blind spot.

The moment his body appeared, frost began to form rapidly. But with the full attribute resistance of [To Diana], his frost formation speed is much slower than expected by Soul Prisoner Ant!

This gap of a few tenths of a second was enough for him to chop off an arm of the cicada-eating ant with his sword!

The Ice Prisoner Soul Ant neighed, fell back without hesitation, and waved down its other arm at the same time!

Only then did Lin Huai'en realize that the ice blades of the Ice Prisoner Soul Ant were not its limbs at all, but were condensed with magic!

He swung his sword to block the ice blade that was slashing at him. This time he would not misjudge the timing again, and stabbed with his backhand, using the Soul Prisoner Ant's ice blade to cut off her head!

And it was only then that he had time to shudder——

"Melee spells plus ice spells... I didn't expect Aizen to take the route of a melee mage... It's really scary."

Lin Huai'en looked at the battlefield situation.

Neil's fireball had a serious impact on the police force, but fortunately, the existence of [Haoran Fire] prevented the cicada-eating ants from approaching rashly. Only a few skilled and brave soul-eating ants took advantage of it. Taking advantage of the opportunity when they fell to the ground, they struggled with the police officers.

However, the moment Lin Huai'en killed Aizen, almost all the cicada-eating ants abandoned them without hesitation and turned around to fly towards the tunnel from which they came.

"What's going on? Didn't they stop fighting?"

Officer Shao had an armored soldier ant hanging on his long gun and frowned at this scene.

"Maybe they couldn't capture us, so they chose to retreat..."

Lin Huai'en looked at the body of the Ice Prisoner Soul Ant and thought for a while.

He walked over and cut open the body of the Ice Prisoner Soul Ant, revealing Aizen's body.

In the attack just now, he deliberately avoided the vital points of the human body, so Aizen was the only explorer who was rescued intact except for a few soul-capturing ants that were burned to death by the awe-inspiring fire.

Lin Huai'en looked at Aizen's naked body, nodded, and commented:

"Much better than Ah Jiu."

Then he shook off the bath towel that Lieutenant Deer had given him before and helped Aizen wrap his body.

.

Aizen woke up two hours after the police team re-camped.

At first she was a little confused and didn't know what was happening.

But soon, with the help of Adjutant Lu, she recalled what happened when they were all wiped out:

"It's the queen..." Aizen recalled with a frown: "We originally thought that the core of the fifth floor of Changying was just an ordinary "abnormal body", but we didn't expect that it was actually the queen of cicada-eating ants..."

"We were surrounded by swarms of cicada-eating ants... We fought for four hours, but failed to break out of the siege. In the end, we were trapped alive. Laiying and others died in the battle, and the remaining people were also captured. "

"I watched the cicada-eating ants stuff them one by one into the placenta of the giant cicada monkey. Finally it was my turn..."

"I felt a thick, sweet liquid rush into my throat and then I lost consciousness."

"Did it later become the food for the soul-capturing ants..." Yuan Xiaole nodded and asked from the side: "What impression did you have when you were trapped in the soul-capturing ants?"

Aizen thought for a while and suddenly glanced at Lin Huaien: "Yes, I feel like I am fighting Lin. I tried my best to prevent the body from releasing a range of freezing spells. Otherwise, all of you will be frozen."

Aizen's answer made everyone stunned.

Although not everyone believed her words, Lin Huaien had cooperated with Aizen and knew that if her spell was released at full strength, even if it did not completely wipe out the rescue team, it would have a great impact on them.

At least, the soul-prisoning ants are waiting for the signal of the freezing spell, and then swarm forward.

In particular, Officer Shao's [Haoran Fire] has been proven in the previous battle with Ah Jiu that it will not affect the vines controlled by Ah Jiu and can only be destroyed by force.

The vine and ice spells use the explorer's own magic power, so they should be judged as "one of their own" by Haoran Huo.

"So whether it's the long-headed glue-spraying ants, Neil's fireball technique... Aizen, is your freezing technique the last trump card of the cicada-eating ants?" Lin Huaien came to the inference easily.

"...Yes." Aizen hesitated slightly and nodded.

She glanced at the others: "If my memory is correct-"

"When I fail, the queen will surrender."
