Chapter 597: Wu Yue Forces Open the Red Fire Ant Monster Queen Ant

Chapter 597 Wu Yue Forces Open the Red Fire Ant Monster Queen's Nest

Shen Que's gaze alternated between the five-minute countdown and Wu Yue's movements, not missing a single moment.

As the countdown entered the final two minutes,

Jian Suiyu had a subtle premonition upon seeing Wu Yue's actions, "She wouldn't really try to hit the five-minute mark and open the ant nest, would she?"

Shen Que replied expressionlessly, "Drop the 'wouldn't.' That's exactly what she's thinking."

Shen Qingci gasped in disbelief, "Not only is she doing it herself, but she's also bringing Momo along."

No sooner had he spoken than Wu Yue’s intermittent voice summoning her teammates came through the live feed, "Enter the mining area, come to the lowest level."

After sending the message, Wu Yue’s live feed started glitching with static.

Jian Suiyu said, "She's been down there too long; her equipment is corroding and breaking down."

Shen Qingci was losing his mind, "What if Momo goes down and can't meet up with her?"

As Wu Yue’s feed completely disappeared, the scene fell into dead silence, everyone frozen like statues.

Watching Charles drive the mining vehicle with Su Mo, Annie, and Sally into the mining area, everyone looked at the vehicle as if it were a hearse doing donuts.

Jie Chen and Li Yiran’s team, having just cleared a wave of Red Fire Ant Monsters, didn't even have time to collect glands and crystal ores before being hit with another wave of monsters.

As the mining vehicle sped off again, leaving them in a cloud of dust and surrounded by monsters, Jie Chen roared in fury, "Who the hell keeps doing this?!"

Li Yiran sensed something amiss, "Why are they all heading to the mine? Are they trying to take advantage before the main force arrives to score big?"

Chun Ya immediately said, "Let's go too, make a big haul. Only then can White Clothes' team points break into the top ten."

Jie Chen activated his golden body and unleashed his ultimate skill, while Li Yiran pulled out the Alliance’s latest multi-barrel crystal machine gun, clearing the monsters in front of them in one wave.

While they cleared the monsters, Chun Ya pulled up in the mining vehicle, "Let's go!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Huaizhi and Wu Chong also realized what was happening and headed toward the mine.

Jiang Huaizhi said, "Let's go. Our team's points aren't secure yet; this wave might cause us to be overtaken."

Wu Chong exclaimed, "Wow~ It looks really interesting over there!! Let's go check it out!!"

Shen Qingci anxiously watched the countdown. It had been a long time since he’d felt this adrenaline rush, his heart racing as if his life was on the line.

As soon as the two-minute countdown ended, the two teams stuck in the preparation area shot out like rockets. Shen Que jumped into the mining vehicle, ignited the engine, and slammed on the accelerator. The roar of the motor was deafening, and the high-tire mining vehicle was driven by Shen Que like he was in an F1 race.

The vehicle spun sharply, drifting around corners, the immense centrifugal force almost flinging everyone out.

Just as the others set off, Charles and his team had already reached Wu Yue.

Seeing them arrive, Wu Yue immediately issued orders:

"Charles, max out your awakening skill’s psychic boost. Momo, use your siren ability to create water.

Sally, Annie, you two guard the exit. If there’s any sign of it being blocked, alert us immediately."

Everyone replied, "Got it!"

Wu Yue formed the Purification Snow Lotus Lamp into a hexagram pattern. Su Mo immediately released water, collecting all the items together. Wu Yue summoned Frost Bell Moon Goddess and stood at the center of the hexagram, precisely where she had detected the strongest energy reaction earlier.

Charles applied the 150% mental energy boost entirely on Wu Yue, who abruptly tore off the seal on the back of her neck.

Instantly, the entire space flickered with jumping black malevolent energy lightning. A powerful energy source dispersed the invading elements throughout the area, and everyone watched in astonishment as a huge full moon emerged behind Wu Yue.

The space seemed to freeze over as if everything had turned to ice. The temperature plummeted, and twin Snow Lotus blossoms appeared continuously, blooming to their fullest before scattering into snowflakes that fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, Wu Yue thrust the Frost Bell Moon Goddess into the center of the hexagram formation.

She whispered softly:

"Seventh Ice · Ice Age · Glacial Epoch."

"Ding ling~ Ding ling~"

A crisp bell sound suddenly rang out, piercing through the entire mine and reaching everyone's ears. It was an ability that directly transcended the mental realm and dimensions through mental energy.

"Crack—crack—crack, crack, crack—"

Everyone present watched in awestruck shock as the mine level shattered, and the ground split open with spiderweb-like patterns.

The blade of the Frost Bell Moon Goddess instantly extended into an arcane glacier, plunging straight into the depths of the earth. Its speed was so swift and its force so fierce that it seemed poised to pierce through the entire mine level, leaving everyone awestruck.

In the blink of an eye, the entire hexagram formation where Wu Yue stood, along with all the purification lotus lamps on the ritual hexagram points, began to bloom rapidly. As they bloomed, the speed of the Snow Lotus cleansing the corrupted atmosphere reached its peak.

The originally high concentration of environmental pollution was instantly dispelled. Instead of feeling scorching discomfort, a refreshing coolness seemed to envelop the surroundings like a respite from the sweltering heat.

Wu Yue's icy sword energy continued to descend until an ice spike, laden with endless malevolent energy, pierced straight into the abdomen of the Red Fire Ant Monster Queen Ant. The last trace of cold suddenly blossomed into a snowbell flower, which captured the Queen Ant like a lantern and retreated along the shattered mine level.

Seeing the Queen Ant suddenly attacked, the worker ants, who had been diligently working, emitted silent, sharp screeches akin to subsonic waves.

The capture of the Queen Ant drove them into a frantic rampage. The upheaval underground caused the entire mine to shake violently, especially the bottom layer where Wu Yue and the others were, which became extremely unstable.

Sally immediately warned, "The exit we previously came from could be blocked by falling rocks at any moment!"

Wu Yue looked at the four team members. "Go, all of you, head up now."

Charles was overwhelmed. "If we leave, what about you?"

The moon behind Wu Yue grew larger, gradually enveloping her entirely.

"I have protection. Don’t worry about me. Just go, quickly!

The purification here isn’t complete yet. I need to lure all the worker ants up. I’ll leave when it’s done."

Seeing the four hesitate, Wu Yue’s malevolent energy surged toward them. Her gaze was piercingly cold. "Don’t get in my way."

Charles pulled Sally and Annie along, turning back. "Let’s go. If we stay, Wu Yue will have to protect us. Neither of you can withstand a cave-in."

Su Mo led the way at the front, using a defensive barrier to block falling rocks, while Charles brought up the rear. They barely managed to escape the bottom layer before the passage collapsed.

As they retreated, the teams of Jie Chen, Jiang Huaizhi, and Wu Chong arrived.

Charles immediately said, "Reopen this path. Wu Yue is still down there alone."

After exchanging glances, Jiang Huaizhi responded, "Get the heavy machinery. If we charge in recklessly, the falling rocks will make Yue Yue’s situation even more dangerous."

Led by Li Yiran and Charles, everyone quickly went to operate the heavy machinery.

Before they could start clearing the path, the entire mine desperately shook violently.

Jie Chen's face darkened, "Red Fire Ant Monsters are swarming in from all directions. What exactly happened down there?"

Su Mo speculated, "Yue Yue might have directly provoked the queen ant of the Red Fire Ant Monsters."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, "She went straight for the queen ant by herself?? If she's down there alone and all those Red Fire Ant Monsters surge up, wouldn't she be in extreme danger!?"

"Wu Yue is alone down there?"

Su Mo forced herself to nod, "Yes, Yue Yue drove us up. She said the purification below isn't complete yet and that she had to lure all the worker ants up from underground."

Shen Que stared at the only path leading underground, now blocked, and twisted into a sinister, vicious smile.

This woman—how dare she even say she couldn't handle him dying four times a month and that she didn't want him.

She should take a damn look at herself!!

Three out of four days she's risking her life—every single day!!
