rain, with no room for dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chen Fan released the bowstring, and accompanied by a booming sound, the arrow shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge amounts of acid in front evaporated immediately due to the substantial true qi attached to the arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining acid fell to the ground and walls, producing sizzling sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant King’s exposed massive eyes showed a hint of human-like shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It then opened its mouth again, releasing a large amount of acid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Differing from last time, this time it wasn’t a torrential downpour of acid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it gathered into a fountain-like burst, colliding with the incoming arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true qi attached to the arrow was consumed at a startling rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, the arrow’s velocity also slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sun-Shooting Arrow’s speed is still too slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Fan thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dealing with the Dragon-man earlier, the Sun-Shooting Arrow he shot out could easily be evaded by the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even at such a short distance, the Bloodthirsty Ant King reacted quickly enough to use acid to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Bloodthirsty Ant King is not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a bit of acid, this guy can come up with so many ways to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this guy successfully infiltrates Anshan City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>many people will die from this kind of indiscriminate attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, it won’t have the chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan murmured to himself, producing a second arrow and nocking it on the string.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second arrow rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant King noticed the arrow and spat out a second stream of acid, intercepting the second Sun-Shooting Arrow in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, visibly, the second stream of acid was smaller compared to the first, and the rate at which the true qi on the arrow was corroded slowed considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan frowned, then sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many arrows in his space items, but he did have around one or two hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much more acid could this guy spit out from its mouth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While thinking this, the ground suddenly began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of Bloodthirsty Ants erupted from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some opened their iron pincers, ferociously charging at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others pounced towards the two airborne arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan seemed to not notice, aiming at the Bloodthirsty Ant King, consecutively firing three Sun-Shooting Arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud explosion, countless Bloodthirsty Ants were blasted to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that Bloodthirsty Ant King also sprayed out a third stream of acid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were simply too many incoming arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth arrow directly hit its body, blasting open a huge hole, and the acid spraying from its mouth ceased abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, several arrows hit it in unison, reducing the Bloodthirsty Ant King to merely a pincer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden appearance of so many Bloodthirsty Ants,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was because the Bloodthirsty Ant King knew it wasn’t an opponent and deliberately ordered its subordinates to launch a kamikaze attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the strength gap between the two sides was too vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, all the surrounding Bloodthirsty Ants were killed by Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he thought, there weren’t many Bloodthirsty Ants, only around one or two hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan walked up to the Bloodthirsty Ant King, bent down, and stored the iron pincers on the ground into his space items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he took out the map given by Meng Xue, examined it for a while, and continued moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm actually had two Commander-level Bloodthirsty Ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Bloodthirsty Ant King just encountered, responsible for guarding the Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was the Bloodthirsty Ant Queen, responsible for reproduction; in fact, the entire Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm, including the Bloodthirsty Ant King, was born from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Bloodthirsty Ant King, the Bloodthirsty Ant Queen’s body was enormous, but it was slow, and its combat ability was not impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, Chen Fan hastened his pace towards the Queen’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, not a single Bloodthirsty Ant appeared, as if all the underground Bloodthirsty Ants were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until about three or four kilometers away, the situation changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tide of Bloodthirsty Ants surged from the passage in front, dense and endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was fearless, channeling true qi into his fists and feet, and charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead was the Bloodthirsty Ant Queen’s location; if you don’t cut the weeds and remove the roots, they will regrow with the spring wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Bloodthirsty Ants controlled by the Queen naturally would not retreat an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as always, the strength gap between the two sides was too big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant King couldn’t last more than three breaths in Chen Fan’s hands, let alone these High-level Fierce Beast level Bloodthirsty Ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet countless companions fell, and the remaining Bloodthirsty Ants kept charging forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until no Bloodthirsty Ant remained alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan took a deep breath and looked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There lay a Bloodthirsty Ant about twenty to thirty meters long, sprawled on the ground, approximately twenty meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t have the massive iron pincers of the Bloodthirsty Ant King, its chest legs were very small, barely able to support its body, and its abdomen was tremendously large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind its body lay piled countless man-sized eggs, densely packed, innumerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Chen Fan’s approach, many of the eggs began to crack open, and numerous Bloodthirsty Ants covered with mucus pounced towards Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were killed by his Protective True Qi before they could even get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the Bloodthirsty Ant Queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked up at it, and couldn’t help but feel goosebumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to take out his bow and arrow, a sense of crisis suddenly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Mental Shock fiercely attacked his spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly mobilized all his spiritual power to resist, subsequently feeling his head pierce with pain as if thousands of steel needles stabbed at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the pain came quickly and disappeared just as swiftly, like an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Fan knew that it wasn’t an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because just now, his spiritual power had been consumed by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan’s gaze at the Bloodthirsty Ant Queen became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially thought that the opponent had no offensive power; after all, its immense size made even moving a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t expected that the opponent excelled at spiritual power attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Mental Shock certainly would have doomed an average A-level Awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant Queen seemed surprised that this human could block its full-force attack and suffered a backlash, its aura significantly dwindling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sneered, readying himself for action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weak, pleading voice suddenly echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, spare me. My children have all been killed by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan paused, his hands hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around and then fixed his gaze on the Bloodthirsty Ant Queen in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this thing speaking to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A talking Fierce Beast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our species has always lived peacefully here, never attacking human cities, nor have we wronged you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant Queen stared at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, it was speaking, but not with its mouth; it was communicating mentally with Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan squinted his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this a Commander-level Fierce Beast? Truly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his knowledge, only Beast King-level Fierce Beasts could communicate mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Beast Emperor levels could speak human language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried several times to mentally communicate his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you a Beast King-level Fierce Beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant Queen quickly denied, responding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to your human classification of our Fierce Beast strengths, I’m not a Beast King level, just a Commander level, but my spiritual power is stronger, thus I can use spiritual power to communicate with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant King encountered previously was just a guard commander for this Bloodthirsty Ant Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant Queen was the true leader of the Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This creature’s overall strength was Commander level, while its spiritual aspect had reached the threshold of Beast King level, able to use rare spiritual attack skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from spiritual attacks, its combat ability wasn’t even top tier among Commander-level Fierce Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had one exceptional trait though—high reproductive ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one of it meant an entire swarm; even if the whole Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm died, leaving only it, given some time, it could produce thousands more Bloodthirsty Ants and new Bloodthirsty Ant Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human, spare me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant Queen continued to plead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promise to leave this place and will never harm humans again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could have begged sooner, but chose not to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it attempted to kill him with a Mental Shock first, and after suffering backlash, it began to beg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed its deceitful nature; its words were not trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Queen’s words were true,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Bloodthirsty Ants lived nearby; even if they didn’t attack human camps previously, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trusted Meng Xue’s predictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her forecasts had never been wrong till now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Bloodthirsty Ants would emerge during future beast tides, attacking people inside Anshan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t take that risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I think seeing you as a corpse will make me feel safer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan said, drawing his bow and aiming at the Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bloodthirsty Ant Queen panicked, its body trembling, \"Don’t kill me! Spare me, and I will serve you forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The successive Sun-Shooting Arrows whistled through the air, representing Chen Fan’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>",1607,"2026-06-06T15:42:49.906Z",1,"novelbin.me","dd5bd39031494fa6926483071fee1952dd899be36d098c4a0ce6418e59f88d8c","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-449","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-447",808,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-cover.jpg"]
