"Yellow Stem Ant King, spare ~"
"Yellow Stem Ant King, please don't kill ~"
"I'll never dare to offend Blue Island again~"
Purple pleaded desperately for rcy. Seeing Ink Orchid gather Wind System Primordial Energy at her foreleg, forming a sharp edge aid at his head, ready to chop it off, he suddenly shouted:
"Don't kill ! I'll tell you a secret! I'll trade a mainland secret for my life!"
Ink Orchid looked at Dragon Cypress.
Dragon Cypress: "Let's hear it."
Purple: "Yellow Stem Ant King, swear to the Natural True God—if I tell you the secret, you let go."
Dragon Cypress: "Alright, I swear to the Natural True God. Now tell us, quick."
Purple: "..."
Purple: "This secret might concern the very survival of the Blue Ant Kingdom."
Ink Orchid: "Oh—"
Dragon Cypress: "One more word of nonsense and you'll have another hole in your head."
Purple: "..."
Purple was starting to panic.
These two didn't care at all—did they not believe him?
Purple's thoughts raced, then he suddenly toughened up, "Then go ahead and kill ."
Ink Orchid raised her claw.
"Enough!"
Dragon Cypress stopped Ink Orchid, solemnly saying, "I, Yellow Stem, ask the Natural True God to witness: If what the Flash Butterfly Warrior Purple says really concerns the survival of the Blue Ant Kingdom, I will spare its life."
Purple: "You also can't harm ."
Dragon Cypress: "You talk too much. Insects who babble usually die quickly."
Purple: "..."
Purple hesitated, then asked, "Is the Blue Ant Kingdom planning to launch another landing war?"
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid's tentacles both twitched involuntarily.
Back when they first discovered the Blue Ant Kingdom, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid had already guessed: an Ant Kingdom this terrifying and powerful, with collective consciousness, definitely wouldn't be content to curl up on an isolated island—they'd invade the mainland and vie for bigger territory.
Sure enough!
Dragon Cypress: "...That's not true."
Purple: "Half a month ago, the One Fruit Bee Queen of the Wave Tree Bay Kingdom Alliance personally visited the Fire Wheel Island Nation, to see Volcano Ant King and discuss sothing important. I happened to be in charge of hospitality and overheard a bit."
Purple: "Wave Tree Bay Kingdom Alliance has already scouted and confird that over the past decade, the Blue Ant Kingdom's troops have increased by tens of millions. They must be preparing an invasion… a landing war."
Tens of millions of soldier ants?
Trying to scare ?
But right now, the other side mistakenly thinks I'm a Blue Island Ant…
Dragon Cypress secretly activated his Soul-Setting Ability to judge the truth, keeping calm on the surface, and said: "So what? That's just a war between the Blue Ant Kingdom and the Wave Tree Bay Kingdom Alliance. Wars like that have happened plenty of tis. Fire Wheel Island is twenty thousand kiloters away—are you going to fight too? Even if you did, what could your little strength possibly do?"
Purple quickly said, "Of course we Fire Wheel Kingdom would never join the fight."
Purple: "But this ti is different, completely different. Nobody knows when or where the rumor started, but it's confird by the Fla Spider Roving rchants—another wild Divine God-Given Seed of the Soul System has appeared on Blue Island. Its power gives exceptional long-range scouting ability—able to peer across a hundred kiloters, ignoring mountains, terrain, and defensive abilities, directly viewing the soul..."
Ink Orchid: "..."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Purple: "Rumors! All just rumors!"
Purple: "But, a lot of greedy Ant Kings and Bee Kings actually believe them. So now they say Blue Island has a wild Divine God-Given Seed that bestows Wind Elental Talent and another that bestows a heaven-defying Soul System scouting ability, plus the legendary Ocean God's Scepter."
Purple, trembling with fear, continued, "I heard there are many southern kingdoms that agreed to fight, and they're scheming to launch a counter-invasion against Blue Island..."
Ocean God's Scepter?
Another Water-type god-level creation from the Outworld Civilization?
Just from the na, you can tell it's powerful!
Attacking Blue Island—they must be after the Ocean God's Scepter and the wild Divine God-Given Seed.
Dragon Cypress: "How many kingdoms are involved?"
Purple: "Fire Wheel Island is not involved!"
Dragon Cypress: "I asked—WHICH kingdoms are involved?"
Purple: "A lot! For instance, Kernan United Kingdom, which sits across the sea from us, they're in."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress abruptly changed topic, asking, "There's over a thousand kiloters of deep sea between Wave Tree Bay and Blue Island. How are they planning this counter-invasion?"
Purple: "The Fish Cutting Leaf Ants Kingdom is involved. They can use Water System Abilities to make ice floes, carrying large numbers of ant warriors from other kingdoms across the ocean long distances."
Fish Cutting Leaf Ants Kingdom?
Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid searched their Inherited mories, and quickly found the answer: it's an Ant Clan capable of Awakening Water System Talent, mainly cutting leaves and grasses to cultivate fungus for food, and eats high-sugar fruits too—a powerful Ant Kingdom with almost no food restrictions.
Dragon Cypress: "Who else is involved? Which coastal kingdoms are joining in?"
Purple lifted his claw and pointed west, saying, "Forest Beard Bee Kingdom promised to send troops."
Purple: "There are tons of kingdoms participating—hundreds, even thousands. I don't know more details. The One Fruit Bee Queen promised: for every ten thousand Soldier Ants or Worker Bees sent, you get one chance to use the Ocean God's Scepter. If you send 50,000 Soldier Ants or Worker Bees, you receive a Divine-Grade Fruit that grants Wind System Talent or Soul System Ability."
Ink Orchid: "..."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
The Divine-Grade Fruit granting Soul System scouting must be the Soul-Setting Fruit of the Quandong Divine Tree…
There must be so misunderstanding here...
Dragon Cypress wasn't sure how to question further. His mind raced, then he asked, "Does the One Fruit Bee Queen know how to use the Ocean God's Scepter?"
Purple: "Uh... I'm not sure... But she probably does, right?"
Dragon Cypress changed tack again, "How much do you know about Blue Island?"
Purple blurted out nervously, "I'm just a weak, helpless little butterfly, I don't know anything at all."
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress: "Weren't you there when the One Fruit Bee Queen and Volcano Ant King talked? How much do THEY know about Blue Island?"
