Chapter 34:Capturing the Firefly, the Mighty Ant Queen!
The spiky caterpillar, unable to hiss, merely tilted its head and watched for a moment.
Then, dragging its fleshy mass, it fled at an unimaginable speed.
Have you ever seen a caterpillar wriggle, leaving afterimages that flash before your eyes?
Tang Chen certainly had, and it was utterly unbelievable.
The mother caterpillar, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly extended its wings, channeling yellow soul power into its legs.
Bang!
The tree trunk where the mother caterpillar was located shattered, and its body shot out like a bullet.
Sharp limbs pierced out, and green sap spurted from its body.
The caterpillar was clearly weaker; its soul power was only a faint yellow, barely a hundred years old.
Its body quickly curled up, resembling a cactus covered in thorns.
"Ahhh!"
the firefly shrieked loudly, continuing to warn the spiky caterpillar to leave.
Unfortunately, the caterpillar was already enraged, rolling and charging towards the mother caterpillar.
The thorns on its body lengthened, reflecting a cold glint in the moonlight.
"Aaaaah~"
The mother insect roared in fury, quickly flapping its wings to dodge and seizing the opportunity to attack with its bladed legs.
Blood spurted from the caterpillar again; it was completely outmatched in both soul power and species.
The bladed legs were longer than the spikes, allowing it to attack the main body through gaps.
Moreover, with wings and long legs, its speed was countless times greater.
The caterpillar quickly realized the danger, accelerating in circles before rolling into the bushes in the opposite direction.
It chose to retreat; this was the law of the soul beast world: the strong rule.
"My goodness!"
Tang Chen closed his mouth. These two tiny insects were actually hundred-year-old soul beasts; their fight was quite exciting.
No wonder soul master hunting was so dangerous; danger lurked everywhere in the forest.
However, this only piqued Tang Chen's interest even more. If he could subdue it, he could throw it into the Pope's palace and let this mother insect howl all night.
The next day in Martial Soul City would be absolutely spectacular.
Buzz~
The steel wire tightened instantly, and the mother insect was caught in the moment of his shock.
"Ahhhhhhh~"
A high-pitched scream rang out, and Tang Chen almost believed it.
Thinking he had caught some girl, he yelled,
"Bomb!"Boom boom boom boom boom~
Five explosions followed in succession, but the resistance from the fishing rod did not decrease.
Tang Chen observed carefully and found that the mother insect's body surface was like jade, and it even had a talent ability.
It should be the king of its kind, and he had finally caught a big one.
But that was not a problem. Its level was not even as high as his, so escape was out of the question.
The mark on his forehead flashed, and Tang Chen activated the power of micro-management.
The power of the firefly was suppressed, and it was instantly pulled into the cave.
What followed was the time for a complete crushing.
"Sand Release: Sand Binding Coffin!"
The sand that had been gathering power was released, trapping the mother insect in place.
When an agility-type soul beast encounters a control-type, once caught, there is no escape.
Tang Chen quickly condensed a crystal and made a specimen plate.
"Ten-Reincarnation Eye Secret Technique: Super Pressure!"
A powerful burst of mental energy erupted, and terrifying pressure materialized and fell.
The screaming mother insect instantly fell silent, its brain momentarily stunned.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Chen once again conjured crystal needles, immobilizing its bladed legs and other parts.
"Hehehe!"
After completing the operation, the mother insect also regained consciousness, but it was unable to struggle.
Tang Chen finally had time to observe properly.
"Holy crap, it's humanoid?"
The mother insect had a carapace on its back, inside which were six pairs of wings.
And looking closely from the front, it really did resemble a golden woman.
At least structurally, it was quite similar, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to make that kind of sound. Its
lower body resembled the abdomen of a mantis, connected to six strong bladed legs.
And its upper body had two bladed arms, it could be said to be armed to the teeth.
The nemesis of caterpillar-type soul beasts
"Trying to self-destruct with Super Pressure!"
Soul beasts have a strong sense of pride, and most of them will choose to self-destruct after being captured, especially the king-type ones, which are the most difficult to control.
Tang Chen unleashed his mental pressure once more, giving it no chance whatsoever.
Taking advantage of his unconsciousness, Tang Chen used his mental energy to condense a white control sphere at his fingertips.
He could control even a Titan Ape, let alone this little insect.
However, this kind of control, connected to the Reincarnation Eye, placed a great burden on his mind.
Tang Chen could only control a limited number, currently at most three or four, and he couldn't be too strong.
"Ah~"
After regaining consciousness, the mother insect let out a melodious groan, and then stopped resisting.
Her gaze towards Tang Chen softened, and the mental control had been successful.
Moreover, because of her weakness, she couldn't protest against commands like a Titan Ape.
"Stop yelling, it's uncomfortable to hear. Stay in the cage for now!"
The crystal needle that had pinned the mother insect disintegrated and transformed into a crystal birdcage.
Tang Chen hung it on his waist, making it convenient to inject soul power to reinforce it at any time.
"Squeak~"
Just after he finished doing all this, a sound suddenly came from outside the cave.
Before Tang Chen could turn around to check, a huge force suddenly came from under his feet, and he was tripped up.
It turned out the fishing hook had been left outside the cave; something had climbed up, eaten it, and escaped, its foot getting tangled in the wire.
"Holy crap, what's going on?!"
Tang Chen's body was lifted off the ground, quickly dragged towards the jungle.
Going in like this would be dangerous, with countless spirit beasts lurking inside.
"Reincarnation Eye: Spirit Power Mode!"
Without hesitation, he activated his most powerful ability.
Tang Chen's body hovered, his flight ability allowing him to stabilize himself.
He then grabbed the wire, but couldn't stop, still being dragged rapidly.
"Damn it, Martial Soul Possession, stop!"
The Divine Tree Martial Soul appeared, quickly merging with his body.
Tang Chen's body changed again; a white outer garment appeared, and ten symmetrical tomoe appeared on his chest.
Ten long tails also appeared, revealing him to be in Six Paths Sage Mode.
However, it wasn't the complete form, only a significant increase in physical attributes.
The true Six Paths Mode could only be activated under the Martial Soul True Body.
But this was enough; the power boost from both modes, combined with his micro-management abilities, instantly taut the wire, and his body stopped.
Tang Chen finally caught his breath, recalling a near-death experience in his past life when he was almost dragged into the sea by a shark.
The fleeing soul beast also stopped, now frantically pacing, trying to spit out the fishhook in its mouth. It was nearly three meters long and stood a good 1.5 meters tall.
Its body was covered in a dark golden carapace, its six long legs pounded the ground, and its pale red eyes stared intently at Tang Chen.
This was an ant; its enormous abdomen proved it was no ordinary species.
"Ants?"
"A Thousand-Pound Ant Queen?"
"No, this is an ant queen!"
Tang Chen's eyes widened; he had actually encountered an extremely rare species here.
Thousand-Pound Ants were common, but Ant Queens were rarely sighted, let alone ant queens.
Crucially, this was a social soul beast. Tang Chen immediately surveyed his surroundings.
Fortunately, there were no other ants of its kind present, otherwise he would have had to flee.
Tang Chen guessed that this ant queen had been driven out by the swarm to prepare for establishing a new colony.
Unexpectedly, she encountered him.
"Hahaha, heaven is on my side!"
"Secret Technique: Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Without hesitation, the nine Truth-Seeking Balls began to spin rapidly.
Then, a terrifying hurricane erupted, crashing towards the queen ant below.
"Squeak squeak squeak~"
Sensing danger, the queen ant's body emitted a dense black light.
The wire snapped instantly, but it was too late to dodge the attack.
The two forces collided violently.
