A boot was lifted up and landed between the two unconscious bodies, causing the leaves to crack as it stepped on them. Then, the other boot followed suit. Lin Sanjiu took another step forward and landed right next to the unconscious face of the other person.
The metal gauntlet that was stuck in the ground was picked up by a hand. A pair of long and slender legs wrapped in a pair of combat pants stood on the ground in one piece. It was as if none of them were missing. After Lin Sanjiu hung the boxing gloves on her waist, she raised her hand and wiped off the sweat and stains on her chest. Two crimson rings appeared on her wrists, glinting under the sunlight.
While Lin Sanjiu was engaged in battle with her pursuers, the ants — or rather, the queen ant — had already received the order to retreat and hide in the shade of the forest. The pursuers did not know that Lin Sanjiu could use her Ability and Special Items freely, so they were all taken down by surprise. However, when Lin Sanjiu raised her head, she realized that she was the only one left in the forest.
Now that she had lured away some of Bohemia's pursuers, the pressure on her side should be much less. However, Lin Sanjiu was still worried. She hastened her pace and rushed back in the direction she came from.
The queen ant would never sit still and wait to be caught. What else could it do?
Perhaps it had already found out that the biggest weapon it used to suppress posthumans had fallen into Lin Sanjiu's hands. Without their Special Items, the worker ants' combat power was almost negligible. Now, Lin Sanjiu could use her Ability to deal with those people.
Just as Lin Sanjiu was thinking about that, she saw Bohemia's figure in the distance. Bohemia seemed to have shaken off the group of crooked-faced people when the enemies split up. Right now, Bohemia was sitting on a fork of a tree, waving the iron bar in her hand condescendingly, trying to drive away the enemies who had surrounded her. "You guys are so unlikeable! You should leave when you need to, and you should die when you need to. How can you be so tactless? I'm not tired at all. Let's talk until the sun sets if you dare! "
The fact that she still had so much to say meant that she was fine.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. She rushed out of the shade and sprinted toward the tree where she was hiding. She did not expect that the ant queen would answer the question that had been bothering her a moment ago. Her voice was so heavy that it sounded like the buzzing of a swarm of bees. "How unfortunate. She has the [Grasping Hand] … There is no need for you to hold back anymore. Are you willing to use all of your abilities for me? "
What was its intention? Could it be that these people were all evolvers? Lin Sanjiu was shocked. Then, she heard people shouting at the edge of the forest.
"Of course we are willing!"
"Leave it to us, Mom!"
"It's just an evolved ability. We can come and go. What's there to be reluctant about?"
Following their response, a few spots of light flashed beneath Bohemia's feet. The number of people surrounding her was far more than the number of people chasing after Lin Sanjiu. As long as some of the more impatient ones made the first move, they would be able to overwhelm the [Bard] with all kinds of abilities before Bohemia could finish reciting her poem.
"Wait!"
Lin Sanjiu yelled at the top of her lungs. She stopped in the middle of the forest and yelled at the queen ant, "I will take away all of their abilities! I will take them all!"
"Oh?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if the ant queen had spoken or if her appearance had attracted the attention of the people, but the momentum of the evolved ability attack finally stopped for a moment. As the group of people rushed toward Lin Sanjiu, the ant queen's deep buzzing rang out again.
"Obviously, you haven't had the chance to use the item you just obtained."
The ant queen's tone did not contain any known human emotion. If one had to describe it, it could only be described as calm, "Wait for a moment. Let me talk to her."
The group of people stopped not far from Lin Sanjiu. Many pairs of mismatched eyes scanned Lin Sanjiu from head to toe. None of them asked if the person who chased after her was still alive.
Bohemia let out a low growl. Just when she was about to jump down from the branch, two men stepped forward and stopped her.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to pay attention to Bohemia because the ant queen had once again bent down toward her.
When an ant was only the size of an ant, they looked innocent and harmless. They would silently and hurriedly carry away the scraps of food that one dropped to feed their family. However, when an ant's head could fill up one's entire field of vision, Lin Sanjiu realized that they were just like other insects. They had an almost sinister, cold, and dirty feeling. It was as if they were peeping at one, wondering if one was as succulent as a leaf.
It was a feeling of resistance that could make one's lower abdomen tighten.
"From my height," the ant queen said slowly. Her front teeth were the size of a small tree trunk. They moved slightly as if they were about to tear through the forest, "I can see many things clearly. I know that both of your abilities and the effects of your items have been absorbed. "
"So what?" Lin Sanjiu suppressed her discomfort. She raised her hand and gestured to the people around her, "You know that I have them. So, they are called [Easy Hands]? Thank you for telling me the name of the item. "
"You're welcome." The ant queen didn't seem to notice that Lin Sanjiu was mocking her. "However, getting them doesn't mean anything. [Easy Hands] can only take one effect at a time, but my adorable children are willing to use all their evolved abilities at the same time … Let's not talk about that for now. Can your friend on the tree withstand so many attacks at once? "
Even though Lin Sanjiu had only taken a few glances, she knew that there were at least 20 people surrounding them.
She had to stall them and think of a way.
"Are they all posthumans?" Lin Sanjiu felt that it was inconceivable. She could use the conversation to stall for time. "Why are there so many posthumans gathered here?"
"Posthumans?"
A familiar voice rang out. Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw that it was Crooked Lips who had led her into the forest. He was still fine. "Didn't I tell you that it doesn't matter whether you are posthumans or not?"
"What do you mean?"
Crooked Lips shrugged. "We are not posthumans, but we are all posthumans. Do you understand? "
How could she understand? Lin Sanjiu didn't answer. Instead, she turned to the ant queen's disgustingly huge head and raised her voice. "I don't understand."
"If I can, I hope to keep both of you and that man outside alive. I don't want to kill you. Moreover, it will damage my children's abilities … So, you better not force me into a corner. " When the ant queen said that, she didn't sound like a threat at all. "Some of the people here are posthumans, but most of them aren't. You see, humans who live with us ants know what it means to share … They are different from those mushroom people. "
Even though Lin Sanjiu was still confused, she couldn't help shuddering. "Share?"
"Generally speaking, posthumans have more than one evolved ability, right?" Crooked Lips suddenly interjected. "Isn't that selfish? You have quite a few abilities, but others don't even have a single ability. "
Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood.
"Too many monks, too little porridge …" she mumbled. "So that's how it is. Not everyone here has posthumans' abilities … So, if you want to increase your combat power and invade the mushroom society, you need posthumans' abilities. However, the biggest problem you are facing is that there are too many monks and not enough porridge … No wonder you are so determined to get rid of us. "
She raised her head and stared at the ravine on the queen's brown shell. She raised her voice and said, "The point is not that you heard that we were going to capture you, but because you heard that we were going to capture you, you realized that we were posthumans, right? An evolved human is a very precious resource for you, right? How did you do it? How did you distribute the abilities of one person evenly to the others? "
"Don't make it sound like we are all being exploited."
A woman whom Lin Sanjiu had never seen before snorted coldly. "We are all warriors, we are all rebels. We are only united here. Take me as an example. I volunteered to donate my abilities and items … Those who are still bound by the old selfish mindset will never understand my decision. "
Lin Sanjiu turned to the woman and her voice became sharper, "You don't even care about the lives of your companions!"
"You are wrong. It is not that we don't care," the woman's expression did not change. "It is because our mindset has already transcended life and death."
The ant queen tilted its head slightly. Its tentacles hung down from the sky and swayed above everyone's heads, glinting with a dark, slippery light.
"Let me tell you more about the characteristics of the [Grasping Hand]," it said in a low voice, "The effect it absorbs can only be used once. The original owner can't get it back, and no one else can get it … This effect will disappear from this world forever. "
Bohemia, who was standing not far away, cursed softly. She had already used her silver lightning once.
"Secondly, its capacity is limited." Lin Sanjiu could not discern the emotions of the swarm of bees, so she could only stare at the gigantic head. On the ground, there were two long, thin shadows moving back and forth. "They can only absorb one ability at a time, so they can only absorb five abilities at a time. Once there are more than five abilities, one of the old abilities will disappear according to the order of time. Now, they have absorbed five abilities. "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Let me describe your future for five minutes. The children will release dozens of different evolved abilities at you, and you can only absorb one ability at a time. When you fight back, you can only use one ability at a time. As you continue to absorb, the old abilities will disappear, and your abilities and items will become useless forever. "
[Planar World] … She could not afford to lose [Planar World].
The ant queen shook its tentacles and asked in a low voice, "You misunderstand. If you are not willing to share your abilities, we will not force you. What I want is just a small thing. "
"What is it?"
"Let me show you the real, eternal truth. Only — "
Before the ant queen could finish its sentence, it suddenly raised its head. Its two antennae sliced through the air and swung toward Lin Sanjiu. Lin Sanjiu almost thought that the ant queen was going to attack her. Just then, a cold but gentle voice came from the shade behind her.
