“Mr. Bloomer, may I ask what kind of array this is? How did those Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants get lost?” Holly asked curiously, watching the ants spinning in circles.
Brooks and the others also turned their attention to Leo.
“The array I used is called the Mist Shroud Array. It can block scents and partially impair vision,” Leo explained. “Ant-type beasts have extremely keen senses of smell but poor vision. The Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants, living in swamps for long periods, have even worse vision. When they enter the Mist Shroud Array, they lose both sight and smell.”
Without sight and smell, the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants were left in sensory darkness and could not find Leo and the others, so they could only spin in place.
Seeing everyone’s admiration for Leo, Brody’s expression changed. He said coldly, “Since you know such an array, why didn’t you set it up earlier to save us from fighting so hard?”
“If you weren’t blind, you would see that the array only covers a range of five hundred meters. Do you expect me to set it up every five hundred meters?” Leo retorted coldly.
Brody’s face stiffened, turning even uglier as he couldn’t find a way to counter Leo’s words.
“Damn you humans! Where are you?!” The Ant Queen’s hoarse and angry voice echoed.
The mist in front of her greatly interfered with her vision, making it impossible to capture the humans’ scent.
“Amitabha, now is not the time for quarrels. The priority is to leave this place quickly,” Brooks reminded in a low voice.
Brody understood the situation and, with a cold snort, turned his head away.
“Mr. Bloomer, what should we do next?” Brooks asked Leo for his opinion.
Everyone else also looked at Leo. He had become the center of attention, which further annoyed Brody.
“We need to kill the Ant Queen. Capture the leader first; once the queen is dead, the rest of the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants will fall apart,” Leo declared decisively.
Hearing Leo’s words, the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
When everyone looked at him, Brody gritted his teeth and nodded as well.
“Amitabha, let’s follow Mr. Bloomer’s plan and kill the Ant Queen!” Brooks said.
“Damn humans, I’ll find you!” The Ant Queen’s angry and uneasy voice echoed again.
The queen opened her giant mouth and spat out a massive Crimson Flame Fireball, evaporating the mist within two hundred meters.
Leo and the others were revealed.
“So you’re hiding here!” The queen’s huge compound eyes locked onto Leo and the others.
The queen’s enormous body flashed through the air towards them, her long, sharp legs slashing down violently.
“Attack!” Leo shouted coldly.
Without hesitation, everyone channeled their spiritual power and attacked the massive Crimson Flame Fireball together.
Under their combined attack, the fireball shattered into countless fiery fragments.
Within the array, mist surged out again, restoring the misty scene instantly.
The queen’s enormous body landed where they had been standing, her flame-wreathed legs slashing down.
Prepared, everyone dodged in different directions within the mist, avoiding the attacks.
“Damn humans! Cowardly humans! Come out!” The queen raged, waving her legs wildly.
Within three hundred meters, the nine of them formed a circle around the queen at its center.
Due to her massive size and the flames surrounding her, even with the mist hindering their vision, they could still see her large figure.
“Fellow cultivators, attack!” Leo commanded.
As soon as he spoke, Leo launched an attack first. A sword beam dozens of meters long tore through the mist towards the queen.
“Divine Technique, Vajra Palm!”
A giant palm print emerged from the mist towards the queen.
“Rending Hand!”
“Water Severing Slash!”
“Bone Spike Stab!”
“Explosive Hammer Strike!”
Each person unleashed their most powerful attack from within the mist.
Nine individual attacks all targeted the queen at the center.
Boom!!
The attacks landed on her hard shell with a deafening explosion.
The powerful shockwave almost dispersed all the mist formed by the array.
Then, a harsh and unpleasant scream came from the queen’s mouth.
Even for a Demon King-level queen, nine powerful individual attacks caused severe damage.
The array finally couldn’t hold up. As the Formation Flag shattered, the entire Mist Shroud Array collapsed.
Sunlight poured down from above, making everything clear again.
Boom!
The queen’s enormous body fell into the red swamp below.
The soft and fertile red swamp was smashed into a huge concave pit about a hundred meters wide.
In the pit, the queen looked miserable.
Her hard red shell was cracked with palm prints and sword marks, and blood continuously oozed from her wounds.
After being severely injured, the Bone-Devouring Giant Fire Ants seemed greatly intimidated. They stared at Leo and his group without attacking.
“Mr. Bloomer, without the protection of the array now, what should we do?” Holly asked anxiously.
“Take advantage of the queen’s severe injury and kill her!” Leo said coldly and decisively.
With that, Leo’s Dragon Sword glowed brightly, transforming into a Thunderstrike dozens of meters long.
Leo’s figure flashed like an immortal descending from heaven, his white robe fluttering as he dove towards the pit below.
“Mr. Bloomer is right. Let’s kill!” Beau’s sword glowed brightly as he followed Leo downwards.
Brooks’ white jade staff also glowed as he dove towards the queen in the swamp below.
The twin sisters and Violet followed suit.
Next was a mysterious man shrouded in a gray robe.
Brody and Timothy hesitated for a moment before exchanging glances and then charging down as well.
“Ah!! Damn humans! I’ll kill you all!” The severely injured queen struggled to stand up, furious and desperate.
However, by then, nine figures were already charging down with their weapons at incredible speed.
A Thunderstrike dozens of meters long pierced through her hard red shell on her head, causing dark green brain matter to flow out immediately.
Next was a green sword beam piercing through her waist shell, followed by a white jade staff shadow and two intertwined water-fire sword beams…
