I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 503: 503: Transformation



Earlier, the golden Ant King ancestor had several light gold ant eggs around him. After the newly hatched Ant Kings were dragged into the lake, they sank and became Demonic Ant Queens. Only one or two of them out of more than ten could crawl back onto land.

Now, these Demonic Ant Queens wanted to transform back into members of the Golden Ant Clan, but the trials they faced were more than ten times as difficult as before;

Among hundreds of Demonic Soldier Ants and Demonic Worker Ants, only one or two could transform back into Golden Soldier Ants and Golden Worker Ants. After watching for a while, the Golden Ant King ancestor trembled and slowly closed its eyes, two large tears running down its hard cheeks.

Although the vast majority of the Demonic Ants couldn’t make it out of the burning lake, this didn’t stop them from eagerly rushing into the water.

All the ants that had transformed back into members of the Golden Ant Clan climbed onto the rocky island together, surrounding the Golden Ant King ancestor and cheering excitedly.

“My children…” The Golden Ant King ancestor looked at the increasing number of Golden Ants on the island with a complex expression.

As Song Jian saw fewer and fewer Demonic Ant Queens coming out of the passage, he felt a strange sense of forgetting something.

After a long while, Song Jian finally realized: “Mistgrass, if they all turn back into the Golden Ant Clan, what will happen to my epic task?”

Keep in mind, Song Jian had only killed two Demonic Ant Queens, but his task required him to kill three. If all the Demonic Ant Queens turned back into Golden Ant Queens, his task would surely fail.

To fail at the last moment, Song Jian would definitely lose his mind.

Upon checking his task list, Song Jian was surprised to find that his task had already been completed;

“How is this possible? I only remember killing two Demonic Ant Queens…” Confused, Song Jian opened the task information panel and flipped through it.

“Oh, after obtaining the Temporal Spatial Chain and filling the Space-Time Rift, this epic task was completed. Does this mean the Abyssal Ant King skeleton that was destroyed by the Divine Power counts as a Demonic Ant Queen as well?” Song Jian stared at the task information panel and speculated.

Keep in mind, the Demonic Ant Queens were merely Ant Kings that had been corrupted by Abyssal Power. The Abyssal Ant King skeleton, on the other hand, was a dead Ant King that had been completely corroded by Abyssal Power, turning it into a true Abyssal creature.

Compared to the Demonic Ant Queens, the Abyssal Power in the Abyssal Ant King skeleton was ten or even a hundred times stronger. It wasn’t impossible for the system to consider it as a Demonic Ant Queen as well.

“Looks like I got lucky!” Song Jian’s mouth curled slightly into a joyful expression.

At that moment, a golden Teleportation Gate suddenly appeared in front of Song Jian;

“Friend, I hope you don’t mind if I give you a ride.” Song Jian heard the voice of the Golden Ant King ancestor in his mind.

Song Jian looked up and saw the Ant King ancestor nodding at him.

With a slight smile, Song Jian stepped into the golden Teleportation Gate and disappeared.

Not long after, Lv Pei, who had lost an arm, and Lu Mingyuan, in a disheveled state, crawled out of the passage. They stared, dumbfounded, at the scene before them.

Both of them had chosen the same passage, but the swarming Demonic Ants were like a tidal wave. The two were forced to collaborate, fighting and retreating. If the passage hadn’t been so narrow, they would’ve been swallowed by the Demonic Soldier Ant army long ago/>

Just when they were about to give up, the Demonic Soldier Ants attacking them suddenly retreated and quickly climbed along the passage, their actions full of urgency.

Out of curiosity, the two followed the Demonic Soldier Ants all the way to the cavern.

“How… how is this possible…?” The two looked at each other in astonishment. Countless Demonic Ants rushed into the lake that was burning with golden flames. A giant golden ant stood like a ruler on a huge rocky island. Immovable, body-surface shimmering with golden light, the ants followed it without a sound.

“How… there are so many Demonic Ants…” Lv Pei hadn’t even fulfilled the required number of Demonic Worker Ants in his epic task, let alone Demonic Soldier Ants and Demonic Ant Queens.

If it came to a one-on-one fight with a Demonic Worker Ant or even a Demonic Soldier Ant, Lv Pei had confidence in defeating or even killing his opponent. However, with his current strength, it would be very difficult for Lv Pei to kill a Demonic Ant Queen by himself.

This was the reason why he wanted to team up with Song Jian and Lu Mingyuan.

Lu Mingyuan’s target was the Demonic Ant Queen. With his strength, if he met a Demonic Ant Queen alone, he could kill it with some effort. However, encountering a lone Demonic Ant Queen in this lair was almost impossible. Along the way, he and Lv Pei had cooperated to hunt down many worker ants and soldier ants, but they had not encountered a single Ant Queen;

That’s why they had followed the passage all the way here.

“There are so many Demonic Ant Queens…” Lu Mingyuan exclaimed in surprise.

“Ming, brother Ming, do you think they’re… are they committing suicide?” Lv Pei pointed at the ants jumping into the lake with a stunned expression.

After watching for a while, Lu Mingyuan slowly shook his head and said, “They’re trying to expel the Abyssal Power from their bodies and return to their Golden Ant Clan status…”

“But…” A puzzled look spread across Lv Pei’s face. He pointed at the lake, unable to think of what to say.

Keep in mind that only one or two out of nearly a hundred Demonic Ants could transform back into members of the Golden Ant Clan. The rest would dissolve and vanish at the bottom of the lake. In Lv Pei’s eyes, there was no difference between this and suicide.

“What a pity. It seems my mission cannot be completed…” Lu Mingyuan sighed and shook his head.

The number of Demonic Ant Queens was dwindling, and there were quite a few Golden Ant Kings. Unfortunately, they were all clustered around the Golden Ant King ancestor. Even if Lu Mingyuan was confident in himself, he didn’t think he could handle the challenge of reaching the island to kill an Ant King.

“My mission… that’s right, my mission! I haven’t completed it yet!” As if remembering something, Lv Pei glanced at the dwindling number of Demonic Ants in the passage and his face became flustered.

At that moment, Lu Mingyuan suddenly noticed that the halo beneath his feet had disappeared. Startled, he called out, “Song Jian, where did Song Jian go?”
