Chapter 1125: We have to compete on the same stage with this kind of monster?

East Gorteau, in a village.

Blue smoke rose in the village. This was not because someone was cooking, but because of the remains drifting out from the village.

Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Amu walked toward the village. Before they even walked into the village, they saw a human torso and head.

The limbs of the torso had been pulled off with brute force, and bloodstains were scattered around. This was not a murder, but remains left behind after some kind of creature hunted. Compared to the torso and head, the limbs were more convenient to carry, and the meat quality was also better.

There was no need to think to know that this was done by Chimera Ants. Chimera Ants didn't hunt wild beasts much because they discovered that compared to those wild beasts whose escape ability was not weak, humans were easier to hunt, and humans were "gregarious." Every time they discovered a village, they could get a large amount of "meat food."

Su Xiao squatted in front of that torso and touched the skin of the torso with his finger. From the temperature of the corpse, he could judge that the Chimera Ants that had just finished hunting hadn't gone far.

"Xiang Bubu, track them."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang began to look for suspicious scents in the village. It soon captured a scent, and the tracking began.

In a forest five kilometers away, a group of strange creatures was walking forward quickly. They were carrying large bags and small bundles, and fresh blood seeped out from those bundles, dripping onto the ground.

These strange creatures were similar in body size to humans and were all walking upright, wearing clothes, but their limbs and heads were completely different from humans, very much like a combination of wild beasts and humans.

This was the Chimera Ant. The strongest ability of the Chimera Ant was to seize the DNA of other organisms, seize the excellent genes, and discard the inferior genes.

Therefore, among the Chimera Ants, except for their Queen, most high-level Chimera Ants didn't have the characteristics of ants. They could be a combination of human + wild beast, or a combination of wild beast + wild beast + a small part of human.

*Whoosh~*

Wind-breaking sounds struck. Hearing these wind-breaking sounds, the ten-plus Chimera Ants in the forest didn't have much reaction, because in their view, this was their territory.

"Wild beast?"

A Chimera Ant that looked like a hippopotamus spoke. This was a characteristic of Chimera Ants above the second generation; they mastered human language from the moment they were born.

"Not clear. Don't care. Let's hurry back. The 'Queen's' temper is not good."

"Why is 'she' the Queen? It's not like we were born from her. The real Queen might already be dead; after all, the King has already been born."

Just as these Chimera Ants were chatting, a voice came.

"The Ant King has been born?"

"Who is it!"

"There."

The gazes of the Chimera Ants turned, looking at a towering tree not far away.

Su Xiao stood on a thick branch. The reason he let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang track these Chimera Ants was mainly because he wanted to understand the current situation in East Gorteau.

"So it's a human. The meat food quota for today is already enough..."

The Chimera Ant's words were only halfway through when it met Su Xiao's gaze. The bundle it was carrying dropped to the ground with a *thud*, and the human limbs inside rolled out.

"What... kind of thing are you."

The genes inherited from insects made this Chimera Ant sense danger.

"A special human?"

A lizard-headed Chimera Ant stepped forward, and Nen energy surged out from its body.

"Even ordinary worker Chimera Ants have mastered Nen. It seems someone has accelerated the progress."

Su Xiao stood on the tree without moving. Just at this moment, the ground began to shake.

*Boom, boom, boom... *

Like a chariot crashing through the forest, with a *crash*, shattered wood splashed, and Amu rushed out from the shattered wood, heading straight for those Chimera Ants.

Screams, slapping sounds, shell-shattering sounds—all kinds of sounds intertwined together.

Two minutes later, Su Xiao leaped down from the tree. Among those ten-plus Chimera Ants, only three Chimera Ants survived, which were: lizard-headed Chimera Ant, dog-headed Chimera Ant, and unknown insect Chimera Ant (suspected dung beetle).

The three Chimera Ants sat paralyzed on the ground. They were either missing arms or legs, or had large depressions on their torsos.

"I ask, you answer."

Su Xiao stood in front of the three Chimera Ants and lit a cigarette.

"We will not betray the Quee..."

Bang.

Su Xiao kicked out, and the head of that suspected dung beetle Chimera Ant flew off. From beginning to end, it didn't see clearly what had happened at all.

"You said before that the King was born? At what specific time?"

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke, waiting for the remaining two Chimera Ants to answer.

Five seconds, ten seconds,

Once ten seconds were up, Amu directly grabbed that dog-headed Chimera Ant and smashed it around on the surrounding ground.

With a *pat*, the Chimera Ant, whose body was somewhat twisted, was thrown onto the ground and lost its breath. Just before, these Chimera Ants were so cruel and ferocious when hunting humans, and now, they had encountered a human stronger than them.

"The King... the King was born a day ago."

The only remaining lizard-headed Chimera Ant spoke. Its voice was trembling, because it knew that even if it said one wrong word, its head would be kicked off.

"A day ago, the time was advanced by four days."

Su Xiao nodded and continued to ask: "Your ant army has disbanded?"

"That's right. After the Queen gave birth to the King, she was already weak to the point of being near death, and lost the ability to continue giving birth. The squadron leaders have all left, and a new Queen has also appeared..."

The lizard-headed Chimera Ant had a strong desire to survive; it said all the known information.

"This is all the things I know. Can... can you let me go?"

The lizard-headed Chimera Ant lowered its head, occasionally looking at Su Xiao with its peripheral vision.

"Take me to see your current Queen."

"This..."

The lizard-headed Chimera Ant hesitated. Su Xiao hooked his finger at Amu, and Amu revealed a mouth full of flat teeth.

"My meaning is to solve it."

Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly. Amu had this bad habit of wanting to take a bite of everything he saw; he didn't know how it was cultivated.

"I'll take you there, don't kill me!"

The lizard-headed Chimera Ant's desire to survive was indeed strong. It stood up shivering, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and walked toward the depths of the forest.

Under the guidance of the lizard-headed Chimera Ant, Su Xiao soon arrived in front of a "high mountain" built of mud. This "mountain" was red; this was the ant nest.

The area of the ant nest was not small. This place was originally ruled by the Chimera Ant army, but now it had been abandoned.

"Lead the way."

Su Xiao looked at the lizard-headed Chimera Ant, but the lizard-headed Chimera Ant stood in place without moving.

"The Queen... has already left."

The lizard-headed Chimera Ant shivered even more severely.

"Left?"

"I really don't know why the Queen would leave. She perhaps disliked that the resources here were too barren, so she abandoned us."

"Oh, then you are useless."

"Bastard!"

The lizard-headed Chimera Ant lunged at Su Xiao. A large hand greeted it, but this lizard-headed Chimera Ant was a Nen ability user, belonging to the elite among the minions. Its body moved to the side, actually dodging Amu's large hand.

Clang.

A silver thread swept past. The lizard-headed Chimera Ant stood frozen in place. It lowered its head to look at its chest; the body below the chest was completely numb.

With a *thud*, the upper half of the lizard-headed Chimera Ant's body fell to the ground. Amu, who was somewhat unhappy, stepped on it.

*Squish*, green blood splashed, and a blue treasure chest rolled down from the corpse.

"Go to the capital of East Gorteau."

Su Xiao picked up the treasure chest on the ground and left with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu.

Above the ant nest, a girl with twin tails witnessed what happened below.

"This guy... is simply strong like a monster. Did you see that slash just now? It was a bit ridiculously fast. I have to compete with this kind of guy for the Ant King's heart? Are you kidding me?"

The twin-tailed girl forced a smile. She was a Tier 3 early-stage contractor.

"This is not the worst. There are four more guys similar to this monster near the capital of East Gorteau. If we encounter any one of them, we are dead for sure."

A bespectacled man behind the twin-tailed girl spoke. He was the "brain" of this squad. Although his IQ was high, facing the current situation, he only felt powerless. ===== CHAPTER 1126 =====
