Chapter 416 The Mutation in the Cave 4

Gazing at the distant, rolling plateau, their brows furrowed. Their expedition had encountered an unexpected obstacle—a herd of mutated wild horses had appeared on the plateau. These horses were enormous and incredibly strong, posing a significant threat to their advance.

"Your Majesty, these mutated wild horses are really troublesome. How should we deal with them?" Red Ant Li asked worriedly.

Zhang Ying's gaze was firm as he said, "Summon all the kings, and let us discuss countermeasures together."

Before long, the black ant king Wang Jun, the white ant king Li Ming, the yellow ant king Li Hua, the brown ant king Wang Kai, the blue ant king Lin Fei, and the green ant king Wang Zhao all arrived at the camp.

"My lords, the mutated wild horses on the plateau have become a major obstacle for us. Does anyone have a good plan?" Zhang Ying asked bluntly.

Black Ant King Wang Jun sneered: "Hmph, how difficult can a bunch of beasts be to deal with? My Black Ant army will definitely crush them!"

Termite King Li Ming shook his head: "We must not be reckless. These wild horses have greatly increased in strength after their mutation, and they are not something that ordinary ants can easily contend with."

Yellow Ant King Li Hua continued, "Perhaps we can use the terrain to set traps, lure them into the traps, and then defeat them one by one."

King Wang Kai of the Brown Ants frowned: "But the terrain on this plateau is complex, so setting a trap is no easy task."

Blue Ant King Lin Fei pondered for a moment: "Perhaps we can find their weaknesses, such as their eyes or throats, and concentrate our attack on them."

King Zhao of the Green Ants nodded in agreement: "This plan is feasible, but the key is how to get close to them and find their weaknesses to attack."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, said, "What you all say makes sense. We can first send out a small number of scout ants to find out the activity patterns and weaknesses of the wild horse herd. At the same time, we should prepare sturdy shields and sharp ant blades so that we can better protect ourselves and attack the enemy in battle."

The kings all nodded and went back to make their preparations.

A few days later, the scout ants reported that the mutated wild horse herd would go to a water source to drink every morning, and that their eyes were relatively fragile.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying immediately summoned all the kings: "The time has come, we will act tonight. Black Ant King, your black ant army is responsible for flanking from the left and cutting off their retreat; White Ant King, your white ant army is to prepare shields on the right to withstand the charge of the wild horses; Yellow Ant King, Brown Ant King, Blue Ant King, and Green Ant King, we will lead our elite forces to concentrate our attack on the eyes of the wild horses and defeat them in one fell swoop."

The kings accepted the order and departed.

Night fell, the moonlight dim, and the ant army silently made its way to the water source. As they approached, a herd of mutated wild horses was quietly drinking.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying gave the order: "Attack!"

Instantly, the ant army surged forward like a tidal wave. The black ant army swiftly flanked from the left, while the termite army raised their shields, forming a formidable defensive line. The red ant king, Zhang Ying, led his elite troops towards a wild horse, viciously stabbing its eyes with his ant blade.

"Hiss!" The wild horse cried out in pain, raising its front hooves and trying to trample the ants.

The red ants nimbly dodged and continued their attack. The other ant queens also led their respective forces in a fierce assault on the wild horse's eyes.

Sensing danger, the mutated wild horses began to flee frantically, but the army of black ants had already cut off their escape route. In an instant, the sounds of horses neighing and ants buzzing filled the night sky.

After a fierce battle, the mutated wild horses gradually lost their ability to resist. The ant army successfully defeated them, clearing the way for their advance.

"Haha, we did it!" Red Ant King Zhang Ying shouted excitedly.

All the kings wore victorious smiles.

However, the crisis was not over. During the cleanup, a wounded mutated wild horse suddenly broke free and charged towards the ant army. Its target was none other than the red ant queen, Zhang Ying.

"Watch out!" the kings shouted in unison.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying had no time to dodge and was about to be hit by the wild horse. At this critical moment, Black Ant King Wang Jun stepped forward and used his body to block the wild horse's impact.

"Wang Jun!" Red Ant King Zhang Ying was extremely anxious.

Black Ant King Wang Jun was knocked to the ground with a heavy thud and was seriously injured.

"Wang Jun, how are you?" Red Ant King Zhang Ying rushed forward to check on him.

Black Ant King Wang Jun said weakly, "I'm fine... protect everyone..."

The kings all gathered around, their faces filled with worry.

Looking at the wounded Black Ant King Wang Jun, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, was filled with both emotion and anger. He shouted to the remaining ant army, "We must avenge Wang Jun! Set off, keep going!"

With unwavering faith, the ant army embarked on a new journey. They didn't know what challenges lay ahead, but they were prepared to forge ahead for their common goal.

In the days that followed, Red Ant King Zhang Ying kept a close eye on Black Ant King Wang Jun's injuries, and the other ant kings worked together even more closely. They led their ant army through various hardships and dangers, finally arriving at a mysterious valley.

A strange atmosphere permeated the valley, and the surrounding rocks shimmered with a mysterious light.

"Where is this place?" asked Li Hua, the Yellow Ant King, in confusion.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying carefully observed his surroundings and said, "I have never seen such a peculiar place before. Everyone, please be careful."

As they cautiously explored, a group of strange creatures suddenly emerged from the depths of the valley. These creatures resembled insects but were not insects; their bodies were covered in sharp spikes, and they exuded a terrifying aura.

"Prepare for battle!" Red Ant King Zhang Ying shouted the order.

The ant army quickly formed ranks and engaged in a fierce battle with the strange creatures.

"Attack their weaknesses!" shouted Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King.

The ant queens led their respective armies, searching for weaknesses in the enemy. After a fierce battle, the ant army gradually gained the upper hand.

Just when they thought they were about to win, a deep roar suddenly came from the valley. A huge monster slowly emerged, its body as large as a mountain, its entire body covered with hard scales, and its eyes emitting an eerie green light.

"What kind of monster is this?" King Kai, the brown ant king, asked in terror.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying looked at the enormous monster and inwardly groaned, but he still firmly said, "Don't panic, everyone! Let's fight together!"
