Chapter 139

139 Ants Extermination Mission

“What are you talking about?”

“There’s force from inside that seems to repel us!”

These people were all desperate and felt that it would be impossible to hold on any longer. Soon, cracking sound began to spread followed by the sound of stones crashing down heavily.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was chaotic.

And the shrill screams from the giant mutated ants reached their ear. These giant mutated ants were all very angry for some reason. It seemed as if something important was taken from them, causing all of them to go on a rampage.

“What’s that?”

As the building collapsed, they found out that several people had made it out. A man who was tasked to protect Mr. Yuri was also a rank 4 wind element. With his ability, he pushed them all up through the gap between the crumbling buildings.

However, behind them, countless giant mutated ants followed them. They seemed to be chasing after this group of people.

.....

“What did you do?” General Ryou asked loudly and then waved his hand. The soldiers behind him quickly readied their formation and weapon, trembling in fear when they saw the number of giant mutated ants in front of them.

Holy...

How many of these giant mutated ants are dragged out this time?

The generals from other cities were also stupefied and then quickly ordered their soldiers to begin attacking. Countless barrage of shots was directed at these giant mutated ants.

“Find someone of space element that’s already rank 4.” Mr. Yuri landed on the ground with the help of his subordinate. The person of space element in his group was only rank 3 because it was so hard to increase their rank.

These space elements awakened could only increase their rank when they were resting and absorbing the crystals. Whenever they fought or doing something else, they naturally couldn’t practice in order to advance their rank.

Thus, most of the known space awakened was only rank 3.

They lacked time to grow.

“I don’t have any.” These generals were rolling their eyes. Do you think that they also have time to cultivate these space awakened people?

As long as there were several of them who had space ability were around, it was more than enough for them. The number of resources required to allow these space element awakened to reach rank 4 was more than the amount of resources required to cultivate 10 rank 3 space awakened.

General Ryou also rolled his eyes. Ever since Little Kitty appeared, General Ryan would hand nearly half of the resources to that little cat. And from what he knew, Little Kitty was already rank 4 the last time.

But so what?

There was no way he would put that cat forward. Kyle didn’t mention Little Kitty’s contribution in the previous mission because he wanted to protect her. Because of that, it would be more important for him to do the same.

Mr. Yuri frowned as he looked at the box in his hand unwillingly.

Damn it. He took great effort to be able to get this, but it turned out that he couldn’t even use the gems inside because of the space seal around the box. How could he easily accept it?

“Deal with the giant mutated ants first.”

Knowing it would be impossible to force them, Mr. Yuri stayed at the side and began to use his metal abilities to gather the metals around and attacked these giant mutated ants. With him being at the peak of rank 4, it was very easy for him to deal with these giant mutated ants.

“Do you want to participate?” Jake asked. He had retreated to the back because he was tired.

“The rank 5 giant mutated ants are on the move.” Kyle glanced at Jake. “How do you think the military planned to solve them?”

“There are really rank 5 giant mutated ants?” Jake was stunned.

“Meow.”

Kate nodded her head weakly. She was so full that she wanted to sleep, but there was a battle going on here. Because of the noise, she was half awake and half asleep most of the time.

“You can sleep if you want to.” Kyle lightly patted Kate.

“Meow.” Kate slapped Kyle’s hand and changed her position before continued sleeping comfortably.

Being treated as a bed by this heartless little cat, Kyle could only smile helplessly. He allowed the little cat to do what she wanted because he had no intention of correcting her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless guns and even bombs were used to deal with these giant mutated ants. Due to the number of people who were attacking, even Kyle couldn’t be clear about who attacked who in this situation.

Anyway, both Kyle and Jake were standing at the back along with some other reserve soldiers who couldn’t participate.

Time passed and the earth rumbled.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. He could sense the giant mutated ants who were coming here were not the ordinary ones. Even he could sense a faint threat that these two giant mutated ants exuded.

“That’s...” Jake saw the two bigger giant mutated ants that appeared from underground.

“The rank 5.” Kyle nodded. He thought to himself and wondered whether it would be necessary for him to make a move or not. After all, there were no other rank 5 awakened people in this group of soldiers.

“Mr. Yuri! Please deal with it!” The faces of the generals from other cities were pale when they saw the rank 5 giant mutated ants. It was so big that it could definitely rival a building.

Who would have thought that just rank 5 giant mutated ants were already so big?

“5 meters long and around 3 to 4 meters wide,” Kyle murmured. “Does the mutation for these giant mutated ants is to grow in size?”

“And also strength. I presume their shell is so hard.” Jake’s expression turned dark when he recalled that at the beginning, he was still unable to deal with these giant mutated ants. It was so hard that he nearly fainted out of anger.

“I see.” Kyle stayed still and watched as they bombarded the giant mutated ants with their bullets, bombs, and even Mr. Yuri was attacking fiercely.

With his keen eyes, he could see that the outer layer of defense of this giant mutated ants were intact. He arched his eyebrows and silently lit up fire from below these giant mutated ants, which burned their outer shell terribly.

The giant mutated ants let out loud shriek.

“It’s working!” General Ryou shouted. “Keep on shooting!”

“YES!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless bullets were used and Mr. Yuri formed several metal spears and used them to hit this giant mutated ant in front of him. His body was tired because of the continuous drain of his abilities.

However, seeing the weakening outer shell, he kept on attacking.

Thud!

After a long barrage of attack, the first giant mutated ants finally fell to the ground dead.

The soldiers cheered.

It was just unfortunate that before they could cheer for a long time, another one of these giant mutated ants had appeared. It even looked more energetic than the previous one.

“Tsk,” Kyle clicked his tongue.

He wanted to stay low key, which was why he made his move when the giant mutated ants were covered under the heavy barrage of attack from these people. But if they stayed silent like that, how were he supposed to make his move.

“Damn it!” Mr. Yuri’s face turned pale. He turned to look at his partner. “Bring us away from here, now!”

“Mr. Yuri, you have promised!”

“I never said that I can deal with two giant mutated ants! Unless you can help me open this box, I can’t do it!” Mr. Yuri moved back and his partner had already used wind element to shield them and then brought the two of them away.

“Damn it! Continue attacking!” General Ryou and the other generals had black face when they saw Mr. Yuri retreating. They naturally knew who was backing this damn Mr. Yuri to allow him become the peak of rank 4 so quickly.

But it was also because of this that they were annoyed.

Boom! Boom!

As the barrage of bullets fell on the second giant mutated ants, Kyle’s eyes hade a shade of red color for a moment. Fire burned the giant mutated ant’s outer layer, weakening them considerably.

Once they reached rank 5, be it giant mutated ants or humans, ordinary weapon couldn’t hurt them easily anymore. Even guns were not effective for those who had protection on their outside.

“Meow?”

Kate looked at the giant mutated ants in front of her and lightly dispersed the white dots towards Kyle. Anyway, she couldn’t absorb more of these white dots, so she just simply handed them to Kyle.

In that very moment, Kyle felt his body warmed up and that his fatigue had completely disappeared. He looked at the little cat in his arm and sighed helplessly. This naughty little cat!
