Faced with the invasion of the Cockroach army, the entire Abyssal World was facing a formidable enemy, but there was nothing they could do.
The ten tunnels dug by the Cockroach Race were all more than a hundred meters in diameter. Once they were dug up at the same time, they would have to divide their forces into ten different areas and defend each area. This was simply impossible.
It should be known that if the Cockroach Race could dig ten tunnels, they could dig a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand tunnels!
The Cockroach Race was endless. No matter how many routes they divided their forces into, each route would still have an army of hundreds of trillions.
However, the hundreds of races did not have the crazy reproductive ability of the Cockroach Race. Even if they divided their forces into a hundred routes, they would be stretched thin, let alone ten thousand routes.
Faced with this, Chu Xingyun could not help but smile bitterly.
If he had not come, the Cockroach Race would definitely have stubbornly dug that tunnel.
However, with his appearance, the defense of that tunnel was too strong. It could be said that it was impregnable.
However, because the defense was too strong, the Cockroach Race actually admitted defeat and bypassed that tunnel. They opened another way and dug ten tunnels at the same time.
Chu Xingyun did not have any good ideas. After pondering for a while, he rushed directly to the Demonic Ant Hall.
At this point, only the Dark Demonic Ant Army could resist the Cockroach Race.
He rushed all the way to the Demonic Ant Hall. After entering the hall, he saw a valley filled with Spirit Stones.
Looking around, he saw a huge … valley that was completely made up of Spirit Stones. The black-haired, red-eyed Demonic Ant Emperor was suspended high in the air.
With Chi Tong as the center, a black mass of air with a diameter of a hundred meters was constantly fluctuating.
Below the Demonic Ant Emperor, the mountainous pile of Spirit Stones turned into a five-colored air current. They rose in spirals and converged into the black mass of air around the Demonic Ant Emperor.
Amidst the violent fluctuations, the black mass of air absorbed the five-colored air current from the Spirit Stones and quickly condensed. Huge ants with shiny black shells, thick limbs, and ferocious mouthparts emerged from the black mass of air one after another.
Whoosh …
As they spun in the air, a pair of light membrane-like wings stretched out from the back of the ferocious ant to both sides.
One … two … three …
Ten … a hundred … a thousand …
Looking over, thousands of Ant Kings were flapping their wings in the sky above the huge Demon Ant Valley. They were flying and circling in the air.
Chu Xingyun took a deep breath and said, "Chi Tong, how long will it take for you to gather an army of 100,000 ant kings?"
In response to Yan Guilai's question, Chi Tong slowly opened his dreamy red eyes and replied in a cold, emotionless voice, "Right now, I can create three thousand half-step Emperor level ant kings every day. If I want to create an army of a hundred thousand, I'll need at least half a year."
Looking at the mountain of spiritual stones in the valley, Chu Xingyun sighed and said, "No, I can't wait … The war against the Feiliang Race can't be dragged on for too long. I can only give you ten days at most!"
In response to Chu Xingyun's order, Chi Tong said, "No, this is already the fastest speed. In ten days, I can only create thirty thousand half-step Emperor level ant kings. I can't create more."
Chu Xingyun frowned and said, "In that case, this is the will of the heavens. The army of ant kings will be fixed at thirty thousand."
After a pause, Chu Xingyun continued, "As Demon Ants, quantity is the most important thing. Since the heavens won't allow us to create a hundred thousand ant kings, then … you can create more soldier ants."
Soldier ants?
Chi Tong's eyes flashed as he said, "The time needed to create soldier ants is ten times shorter than creating ant kings and queens."
After a slight pause, Chi Tong said, "If I create soldier ants, then … I can create a million soldier ants in a day."
Chu Xingyun's eyes flashed as he asked, "Then are soldier ants at the half-step Emperor level?"
In response to Chu Xingyun's question, Chi Tong shook his head and said, "No, the soldier ants' foundation and potential are limited. They will never be able to become half-step Emperor."
After a pause, Chi Tong continued, "As for Emperor level, since ancient times … there has never been a precedent of soldier ants becoming an Emperor."
Chu Xingyun shook his head in disappointment. He knew that only ant kings and queens had the potential to become Emperor level. As for soldier ants … they didn't have enough potential and foundation to become Emperor level.
Upon seeing Chu Xingyun's disappointed expression, Chi Tong continued, "However, what you said just now is very correct. Demon Ants are also ants. As ants, quantity is the most important thing. If they lose the advantage of quantity, they will never be considered a powerful race."
After a slight pause, Chi Tong continued, "Although soldier ants will never be able to become Emperor level, after absorbing a large amount of matter and energy, their armor will become stronger and stronger, their mouthparts will become sharper, and the dark energy in their bodies will become stronger."
As he spoke, Chi Tong created a soldier ant and said calmly, "If a soldier ant cultivates to the extreme, it won't die even if it's suppressed by a force of ten million times."
Not die even under a force of ten million times?
Upon hearing Chi Tong's words, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
In the face of Chu Xingyun's shock, Chi Tong didn't have any reaction. He said calmly, "For example, if an ant in nature is stepped on by a ten-ton elephant, do you think the ant will be trampled to death?"
Frowning, Chu Xingyun shook his head and said, "No … it won't die, unless the ground is made of rock."
Shaking his head, Chi Tong said, "No … even if the ground is made of rock, the ant might not die. Don't forget, the bottom of an elephant's foot isn't as hard as an ant's shell. Furthermore, there are gullies to hide in, so … the ant might not die."
Frowning, Chu Xingyun thought hard for a long time. Finally, he nodded helplessly and said, "You're right. Although an elephant might be able to trample an ant to death, … it needs extreme conditions to be able to trample an ant to death. In most cases, it won't be able to trample an ant to death …"
Nodding his head, the Demonic Ant Emperor said, "Of course, if an elephant is equipped with iron hooves and a metal plate underneath, the ant will definitely die when it stomps on it. However … if that's the case, it won't be ten million times the force, but a hundred million times the force."
Chi Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, if you insist on putting an ant on a metal plate and using a hammer to smash it, not only the ant won't survive, no living creature will be able to withstand it."
After thinking about it carefully, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but nod his head. Indeed … that was the truth.
Smiling slightly, Chi Tong continued, "Also, don't forget that we, the Demonic Ants, are not ordinary ants. We are Demonic Ants that possess dark energy!"
The characteristic of dark energy was devouring. Hence … the Demonic Ants were immune to elemental energy. No matter what kind of elemental energy was released, it wouldn't be able to harm the Demonic Ants.
If energy was used to attack the Demonic Ants, the elemental energy would be devoured by the Demonic Ants, and the Demonic Ants would become stronger!
If physical attacks were used to attack the Demonic Ants, it would be like an elephant trampling on an ant. Even though it was ten million times stronger than the ant, it would still be difficult to trample it to death.
Of course, if it was a one-on-one battle, the ant would never be able to defeat the elephant. The difference between the two was too great.
However, if an army of hundreds of millions of ants was formed, then even an elephant would be devoured in an instant. Only a huge skeleton would be left lying in the grass.
Hence, the terror of ants lay in their numbers.
An ant could be called an ant. Any person could easily crush it to death with just a finger.
