Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman-Chapter 429 - 428, Facing the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen Head-On_1

Chapter 429: Chapter 428, Facing the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen Head-On_1
Xia released the mice, which swiftly scuttled through the cave, quickly drawing the attention of five Ant Tribe’s Guards. These mice had no real offensive power, and the Ant Tribe’s Guards didn’t use magic to deal with them but instead chased the mice off into the distance. Mice appearing in the Ant Tribe Queen’s Cave was nothing out of the ordinary. If large-scale magic were released, the entire cave system would be destroyed. The guards instinctively used their hands to catch the mice that appeared in the cave.
Jiang Chen whispered, "They’ve gone."
Xia nodded and released the Green-Eyed Flying Insects again. These tiny creatures, smelling the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen’s scent, quickly burrowed into a passage, with Jiang Chen and the other three following closely behind.
After passing through the tunnel, a plaza as large as a soccer field emerged, surrounded by hundreds of caves. With so many caves, it would take an unknown amount of time to explore them all. Luckily, they had the Green-Eyed Flying Insects, which rapidly entered one of the caves.
Xia explained, "This is where the Ant Tribe’s Soldiers live. Each cave houses thousands of them. Thankfully, they’ve already gone out; otherwise, a major battle would cause the whole cave network to collapse."
Xia, from the Dragon Blood World, had a good understanding of the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen. She had even killed an Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen before and was very familiar with the situation inside the caves. Thanks to the Green-Eyed Flying Insects, their speed increased tremendously. The group followed the Green-Eyed Flying Insects onward.
Jiang Chen stopped again, whispering, "There are new guards ahead."
Xia once again caught the Green-Eyed Flying Insects. "How many?"
"Quite a few this time, several dozen Ant Tribe’s Guards, about five hundred meters ahead."
Xia nodded. "We are getting incredibly close to the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen Matilda. There should be a cave directly ahead that leads underground, where the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen is located. The Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen has three defensive cordons; we just passed the first. This must be the second. For the second cordon, there’s no other way; we must eliminate the Ant Tribe’s Guards swiftly and reach the third cordon as quickly as possible. We must eliminate the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen Matilda in an extremely short time. Otherwise, if she senses defeat, she will retreat rapidly and establish her territory anew."
Jiang Chen nodded. "I’ll do it."
Jiang Chen swiftly began his attack, using the All Wan Jian Gui Clan’s technique. At the same time, Angelina cast a buff on her three companions. As the Sword Qi charged forward rapidly, the dozens of Ant Tribe’s Guards were quickly slain. The four of them moved rapidly and, indeed, saw a cave ahead leading underground.
Just as Jiang Chen was slaying the Ant Tribe’s Guards, Matilda, hiding in the depths, sensed the death of her guards and quickly began to gather a large army. Meanwhile, the Ant Tribe’s Soldiers outside their territory, as if receiving a command, stopped their assault abruptly and vanished into the ground.
"What’s happening? All the Ant Tribe’s Soldiers have disappeared."
"We must have been discovered."
"So what can we do now?"
"What else can we do but wait for the boss?"
"Let’s hope the boss can complete the mission and kill the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen."
The soldiers in the territory received the command; countless soldiers quickly withdrew and entered deeper through the caves, preparing to intercept the invaders.
「Deeper in the cave.」
Xia said, "Below is the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen’s nest."
"Let’s go."
Xia applied a magic shield to herself, which became even stronger with Angelina’s enhancement. Arno did the same, layering a magic shield on himself. As a Magic Swordsman, he not only knew magic but also possessed unique Magic Swordsman skills. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, activated his skill [Sky Gang Sword Body], also a defensive ability, similar to a Magician’s magic shield, and even surpassed a Magician’s magic shield in terms of defensive power.
The four of them quickly jumped into the cave, which plunged straight down into the earth, at least thirty meters deep. The subterranean area was incredibly spacious, about as large as three football fields. Descending from above, they laid eyes on the so-called Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen—her body had eight tentacles, each a hundred meters long, and her bulk was immense. Her two bucket-sized eyes stared at the four intruders. The Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen resembled a spider but was tens of thousands of times larger.
The Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen let out a low growl as dozens of Ant Tribe’s Guards stood before her, protecting their Queen.
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate to launch an attack; Six Thousand Sword Qi rapidly struck out, charging towards the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!...
The Queen’s body was like copper and iron, a shower of sparks flying off it.
What a monstrous defensive power.
It was ineffective.
Xia’s expression grew serious. "This isn’t a Fifth-stage Ant Queen, but a Sixth-stage Ant Queen! Her level is at least 300. Her defensive power is very high; attacks only work on the underside of her abdomen."
"I know, but it’s no use," Jiang Chen said. "This creature’s defensive power is too strong."
Arno furrowed his eyebrows.
If even Jiang Chen’s attack was ineffective, then my own attacks would be even less likely to harm the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen.
At this moment, the Ant Tribe’s Guards charged swiftly towards Jiang Chen and his companions. Wind, Fire, Thunder, Lightning, various magics... came in quick succession. Arno stretched out his left hand, and a wall of light emerged in front of the four. Magic struck the light wall, releasing a tremendous roaring sound.
Arno said gravely, "Their magic is strong. I can only hold this for ten seconds."
"I’ll take them," Xia declared. She wielded her magic wand, which emitted a blue ray of light. This Thunder magic, fast as lightning, quickly pierced through the bodies of the guards. A dozen or so Ant Tribe’s Guards met their end under the thunder and lightning.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi kept battering the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen Matilda’s abdomen, seeking to penetrate her defenses there. Xia looked at the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen and noticed a humanoid figure on top of the Queen’s head.
Xia exclaimed, "Jiang Chen, kill the humanoid creature on top of the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen’s head! It’s the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen’s Iron-clad Beast. It doesn’t have much offensive power, but its defensive strength is extremely high. It’s likely forming a joint defense with the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen! Only after killing it can we rapidly slay Matilda."
Jiang Chen stared at Matilda’s head. Sure enough, a humanoid BOSS stood there. Jiang Chen unleashed his Sword Qi rapidly, targeting the BOSS on top. Under Jiang Chen’s assault, the humanoid BOSS soon perished.
And at that moment, the colossal body of the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen Matilda shrunk swiftly, transforming into a humanoid BOSS the size of a human, with golden hair and eight hands.
Jiang Chen was completely puzzled.
What is this situation? She can transform? This is a monster, right?
Xia’s face turned pale. "This is bad."
Jiang Chen asked, "What’s wrong?"
Xia explained, "The Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen has two states. The first is the Reproduction State, where her body is exceptionally massive. That’s when the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen is laying eggs, and in this state, she doesn’t have much attack power, relying solely on her Ant Tribe’s Guards for protection. The second state is the Battle State. In this form, she can merge all her energy, greatly strengthening her combat power. Furthermore, she can replicate the magic of the Abnormal Beasts she consumes. The Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen in this state is incredibly formidable."
Jiang Chen could only think,
Why the hell didn’t you say so earlier? Now that she’s changed her form, you mention it. Can you be a bit more reliable?
