Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 912 - 659: Ya River (Part 2)

No matter whether it’s the Whirl Beast or Kirin Beast, no matter how perfectly they hide, their colossal body measuring kilometers is there. As long as they move in the water, waves will inevitably be stirred up, and with waves, they will be detected by the Butterfly Antennae Mayfly Warriors.

A tribe born to counter underwater stealth.

The Insect Clan warrior with a carapace of seven colors is naturally the Earth Shrine Beetle King from the Rainbow Holy Beetle Tribe, responsible exclusively for warfare affairs.

The beetle warrior with a pitch-black carapace, possessing fluctuations of primordial energy of water, earth, and strength elements, undergoes significant changes due to elemental influence, making it hard to recognize which insect clan it belongs to. However, judging from the physique, it’s proficient in aquatic and swamp wetland combat.

As for the Assistant King of the Hawk Wasps Kingdom, it is not Yellow Heart whom Dragon Cypress knows.

"Snow Velvet Spider King!"

"This one should be the Earth Shrine Beetle King from Wind Phoenix Mountain, right?"

On the head of the Whirl Beast, Dragon Cypress revealed half of its body, shaking its tentacle as a greeting.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King! We’ve finally been waiting for you..."

The Earth Shrine Beetle King looked at the gigantic beast measuring kilometers, with emotions running high alongside barely concealed fear.

The Whirl Beast in Living Water state completely replicates the form of the Kirin Beast.

Back then, the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King attacked Wind Phoenix Mountain, causing nearly a thousand tribe members’ death, severely damaging the Thunder Phlox Divine-Given Seed, leaving a lingering shadow in the hearts of all insects.

The other three Insect Kings also appeared somewhat fearful.

Such colossal scale of bionic ability, coupled with the impact of two to three hundred thousand Ant Army, that overwhelming and unmatched momentum, thinking about it alone suffocates one.

Snow Velvet Spider King solemnly introduced:

"Iron Heart Beetle King, leading the elite combat team composed of various Insect Kings to guard the river mouth at Ya River."

"Sand Golden Lacewing King is responsible for reconnaissance work, directing scouting teams in searching for traces of Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King."

"This one is Assistant King Yellow Thorn under Yellow Vine Bee King’s command. In recent years, the Hawk Wasps Kingdom has stationed 60,000 heavily armed soldiers at the river mouth where Ya River and Reed River converge, commanded by both Assistant King Yellow Thorn and Assistant King Yellow Leaf. Additionally, there are 30,000 scouting Worker Bees, commanded by Assistant King Yellow Heart, specifically tasked with patrolling the southwestern coast."

Dragon Cypress nodded its tentacle, responding in turn, saying briefly: "This year is the regular year of war between Wave Tree Bay and Blue Island. I guess that Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King will be unable to hold back and jump out to create chaos."

"I’ll find a suitable harbor 30 to 50 kilometers from the river mouth, lurking. Sand Golden Lacewing King and Assistant King Yellow Leaf, you reorganize the searching team, strengthen coastal searches, everyone maintain communication, inform me immediately if there is news."

"Okay!"

"Understood! Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Sand Golden Lacewing King and Assistant King Yellow Leaf agreed.

Dragon Cypress followed up with a reminder: "I’m meticulously planning to infiltrate Zhibai Continent without all insects knowing. You also pay attention to secrecy, clearly inform trusted warriors under your command, and try to send other warriors away."

All insects promised.

Snow Velvet Spider King controlled the ice frost giant spider to tread the sea, leading the way to a spot under a cliff.

The location is rather ideal, slightly recessed inward, with small winds and waves. The Whirl Beast transforms into a Living Water state, difficult to be seen as abnormal, close to the shore is ownerless wasteland, where insects generally won’t come near.

Simple negotiations, important matters explained.

The four Insect Kings quietly departed amidst the night.

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Shall I stay and help?"

Dragon Cypress: "No need to help since there’s no real fight."

Snow Velvet Spider King: "Then should I go to Rainbow Island to help?"

Dragon Cypress: "Not necessary at all. The arrangements on Rainbow Island are fail-proof, if you head over there, it might actually arouse insects’ suspicion and ruin things."

Snow Velvet Spider King sighed: "Then I’ll return to Wanglan Continent, carrying out normal roving merchant trading as in previous years."

Dragon Cypress: "That’s exactly what I mean. Snow Velvet Spider King, keep low profile, travel back discreetly at night, follow the usual route to minimize attention from other insects."

"..."

With night deepening, Snow Velvet Spider King said little else and turned to leave.

...

Dragon Cypress settled down to lurk.

The next day at dawn, occasionally a faint sense of insects flying by from a distance could be felt, their gaze casting towards this direction.

Such large-scale maneuvers couldn’t possibly be truly kept secret.

The news of Dragon Cypress Ant King’s stealth entry into Zhibai Continent was first spread among the insect clan warriors responsible for reconnaissance at the entrance of Ya River’s stationed place.

On the third day of lurking,

During midnight, a mass of dark clouds floated, descending, approaching.

Within the cloud mist, Purple, Green Heart, Yellow Heart, Yellow Thorn, and Color Steel Five Insects jumped out.

As expected, Purple and Green Heart, those two fellows, ran over to mix in on Zhibai Continent’s side.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"You’ve finally come!"

Purple greeted warmly, moved: "If you hadn’t come, a few of us wouldn’t be able to explain to those tribal leaders who offered rewards for the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King."

"..."

Dragon Cypress emerged half its body.

The other insects greeted one after another.

Assistant King Yellow Heart said seriously: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, through our more than ten years of persuasion, gathered a rounded total of 5 billion Source Stones as supplemental rewards, plus 5 Divine-Grade Fruits in various colors promised by top-level Great Tribes, managed on behalf by Snow Velvet Tycoon."

"This bounty is distributed among the insects from Wanglan Continent. As for Zhibai Continent here, the earnings of the assisting Insect Kings organized by each Great Tribe are calculated separately."

After Yellow Heart finished speaking, he probed: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, you see, regarding the distribution plan we discussed earlier..."

Assistant King Yellow Thorn added: "Yellow Vine Bee King instructed, here on Zhibai Continent, listen to Dragon Cypress Ant King’s command for us."

"Alright..."

Dragon Cypress understood, these fellows came for profits.

That’s inevitable.

The safety of Zhibai Continent has nothing to do with them, busy running for so many years was solely for the sake of making money.

Moreover, Hawk Wasps Kingdom is among the few, with the solid strength to make this wealth in the Bee Clan Kingdom.

Dragon Cypress pondered, saying: "Then let’s follow the previous distribution plan, once accomplished, Hawk Wasps Kingdom takes 3 billion, plus 3 pieces of Divine-Grade Fruits. Purple and Green Heart have run along for so many years, can’t let you work for nothing, once accomplished, I’ll pay you wages."
