Chapter 256 Cat Dad’s Expanding Dungeon

Chapter 256 – Cat Dad's Expanding Dungeon

After feeding ant eggs the sacred water to the queens, they screeched as if they went into a frenzy. The Fire Ant Queens laid eggs like a machine gun while revealing their blissful expressions as if they successfully took a big long dump after month-long constipation.

Fu De gazed at the ants in disgust. She splashed the sacred water on the eggs next.

"SCREECH!"

All eggs changed color from red to dark red. The larvae instantly grew up and emerged from the eggs. Most of them were worker ants and nurse ants as they were the first batch of the new queen.

Despite being born as non-combatants, their size was as big as warrior ants. Even their heads and mandibles were as strong as fighting-class ant warriors.

Fu De raised her brows and inspected the newborn ants. They were born as level 50 helpers, which were useless in battle. At best, they could be used as handymen for running errands for this humongous dungeon.

"SCREECH!"

While Fu De was staring at the newborn ants in disappointment, the second batch of eggs also hatched. This generation came out after Fu De had fed the queens sacred water and made them crazy.

The second generation were all combatants. However, their physique and appearance drastically changed.

All of them gained a humanoid physique! They stood on two legs, and they had four arms. Their heads remained the same, but they shrank to human head size. Two of their arms were sharp scythes while the other two hands each had four large fingers.

<strong>Scarlet Ant Soldiers, Level 150</strong>

These guys seemed a bit more useful as they had hands and fingers. Fu De liked how they looked, except for their feminine curvy body that looked like sexy women.

"Eh, acceptable, I guess. At least, they can work as cannon fodders... *SWUA* or not."

Before Fu De could finish her sentences, the second-generation newborns turned to the queen ants and killed them all. They devoured their parents, not allowing these selfless mothers to continue reproducing.

Fu De stared at these warriors, speechless.

"Damn ingrates! What are y'all do...ing?"

Again, Fu De didn't have a chance to properly finish her sentence. The bellies of these warriors grew bigger as if they were pregnant. Some of them began sitting, spreading their legs, and laying eggs.

Each produced a massive black egg. Instead of looking like a proper ant's egg, it resembled an ostrich's egg.

<strong>Scarlet Egg, Level 150</strong>

"..."

Fu De stared at the third generation of these ants in astonishment. The evolution of these creatures progressed too fast!

Still, Fu De had fun watching these creatures grow stronger. She poured sacred water on the black eggs.

CRACK

The wet eggs instantly hatched. Red humanoid children with round red eyes peeked through the crevices of the broken eggs, examining the outside world. Then, they slowly climbed out and looked around.

The 3rd generation ants were even more ridiculous. Aside from their red skin, two antennae, four arms, and bright red hair, they looked exactly like 12-year-old human girls.

But their names and level indicator shocked Fu De.

<strong>Scarlet Hatchling, Level 200</strong>

Their levels jumped after being born! Moreover, the name only implied that they were merely hatchlings, not the final form!

"Hohoho! This will be fun. Will you eat your mother and give birth to the 4th generation to evolve, or will you wait until you're an adult before you create more descendants? What will you do?"

The newborn babies walked to their mothers and poked them with their antennae. Then, they turned their attention to the sacred water fountain. Without hesitation, they rushed there and drank the water as if they were dying of thirst, gulping down until their bellies swelled.

"Oi! Don't drink too much! It's danger...ous?"

As if Fu De was cursed, he stopped speaking mid-sentence once more.

DING

DING

The hatchlings instantly digested the sacred water and grew taller. Their physique became more refined - Curvy hips, buttocks, and breasts were more noticeable.

Within minutes, the 3rd-gen ants grew up into 16-year-old maidens. Pink heart-shaped crests appeared on their groins, and their round red eyes became glittery. Their names also changed.

<strong>Scarlet War Maiden, Level 250</strong>

"Oh, boy. Teenager stage, I see."

Fu De shrugged. At this rate, the next evolution would increase their level by 50, which was a little disappointing. She had expected the 600s level range so that they could manifest their Dao and become useful in mortal wars.

ZAG-ZAG-ZAG

More hatchlings were born and swarmed the sacred water fountain. Strangely, the fountain didn't run out of water supply even though these glutton ants kept draining it.

"Senior Meowmeow, can we have a few more fountains here? These ants are too damn thirsty! No pun intended!"

RUMBLE

Fu De didn't need to wait long as Meowmeow heard her plea. Five more water fountains appeared in the queen's room. Moreover, a waterway emerged, linking all fountains together and forming a large pond.

The remaining worker ants started drinking the water and fed them to the queens. After the latter drank them, they gave birth to more holy ants.

'Fu De, you're in charge of directing those ants, munya. Teach them the way of this dungeon carefully, munya.'

Getting a new job, Fu De laughed, "Leave it to me, sir! By the way, can I get more virgin blood? The previous supply ran out."

'Damn vampire! I just gave you 10 tons worth of blood last week! How come you drank them all?!'

"Ehehehe. Whoops. I overdrank it."

Fu De snickered and pointed at the name and his level.

Fu De, the True Blood Vampire Ancestor, Level 1337

She regained her power, but her immortal strength was incomparable to Taotie, Mimir, or Cernun. She was just a weak immortal.

'I might as well look for a mythical item that infinitely produces blood, munya.'

"Please do, sir! I'll be working earnestly if I have that!"

'Find me 5 billion PACTs then! If you have that, I'll make sure to buy one for you, munya!'

Fu De gulped. He knew that 5 billion PACTs were not something that he could procure. But when he thought of the players, he smirked.

"Do you mind if the PACTs come from an unlawful source, sir?"

'I don't care, munya. Money is money. This dungeon needs money and DP.'

"Alrighty then. I'll be sure to procure that amount for you, sire!"

'Hmm.'

= B7 Floor, Boss Room =

Andrew and Peter stood in front of Undine. They ejected the minerals and raw ores from their inventory slots to the floor.

These ores and minerals were what MUNYA Guild mined from the tournament world. Now, Andrew and Peter gave them to Undine with a condition. They wrote what they needed and presented them to her.

Undine read the list out loud.

"An advanced blacksmith forge, a carpentry workshop, toolkits, legendary blacksmith hammers...?"

Upon stumping on the legendary hammer part, Undine stared at the two dwarves with a deep frown, "You two are greedy. A legendary hammer costs at least a hundred million PACT to create, and the Mermaid Kingdom doesn't even have one."

The dwarves were crestfallen. They took the note back and crossed over the legendary part. They rewrote a prefix.

Ultra-Rare

Undine narrowed her eyes and stared at the dwarves again. The boys grinned and rubbed their hands in unison.

"Fine. I can manage with two ultra-rare hammers, but they will be a low-graded one since you two are weak."

The dwarves pouted, but they nodded to accept the deal.

"One million PACT, each."

The men dropped their jaws. They cried as they didn't have that much money.

"Ask your master. Isn't he rich?"

The dwarves stopped crying and looked at each other. They widely grinned and gave Undine a thumbs up.

"Haiz. You two are a headache. Very well, what's next? A volcano with an undying flame that can smelt every ore? What in the hell?"

Ifrit and Cookie overheard the conversation. They ran toward the group and peeked at the list.

"What? A volcano? Where?"

GRAA?! (Volcano? Did someone say Volcano?!)

Undine clicked her tongue, "This is a wish list for Xiaomao's subordinates. You're irrelevant."

"How cruel! But hey, little guys. If you need an extreme flame, I'm here for you! If you need something smelt, I can give you a hand. How about it?"

GRAA! (I don't care if you want my feathers or my meat. Let me live in that volcano pool! I need my hot bathtub!)

Ifrit curled his biceps and smiled at the two dwarves. Cookie mimicked Ifrit and curled his wings. Andrew and Peter brightly smiled and mimicked Ifrit, flexing their toned muscles as well.

Seeing the dwarves' reactions, Ifrit loved it, "HAHAHAHA! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Come! Let's talk to Lord Meowmeow and ask him to arrange a place for the volcano!"

Undine was speechless. She shook her head and facepalmed, "Could you not interfere with our businesses? We need to work right now."

Ifrit and Cookie didn't listen. They rushed to the treasure room door and knocked on it. A few seconds later, the door was opened and the immortals went inside to meet Meowmeow.

RUMBLE

It didn't take long before the entire dungeon trembled. Then, everyone in the boss room could hear Meowmeow's voice in their minds.

'Ahem! I've transformed one of the blank floors into a volcano level, munya. Ifrit and Cookie will be assigned there as the co-floor guardians. Andrew, Peter, I'll build a forge and a workshop for you over there if you need one, munya!'

Hearing that they would finally get their workshops, the two dwarves were overjoyed. They jumped and ran around Undine in a circle.

DING

A blue screen appeared in front of all immortals and Xiaomao's subordinates. The panel showed the list of the dungeon floors and what their specialties were.
