Chapter 271: A Statue that Talks

“Mama, is this the statue?” Mo Na flew up to the statue and started picking up apart the vines wrapping the statue with a tenacity that could have only been fueled by curiosity.   Seeing my little baby approach those vines like that immediately gave me the shock of my life. One had to know, those were the exact same …

Chapter 270: A Strange Garden

The Black Blood Queen Ant wasn’t all that interested in things of beauty. It cared not for the intricate carvings on the wall, nor did it care about the radiant torches which seemed like they could go on burning till the end of time. Having stepped through the gate not too long ago, it stopped; there laid three branching paths …

Chapter 269: Everything In This World Has Its Own Place

Throughout this whole journey, as long as we had the Black Blood Queen Ant lead the way in front of us, the golems would ignore us. This time was no different, or at least it should have been so. Heart pounding with anticipation, I had the queen ant proceed forward as always while Sasani carefully watched over him. With him …

Chapter 268: I Think We Made It

‘Hmmm…how should I say this, I think we got ourselves a slave…ahem, what I mean to say is that her position is basically that of a slave’s.’   Nola ended up tearing the golem apart as expected while we had a nice little talk with that queen ant. After ensuring that she wouldn’t put up too much of a fight …

Chapter 265: Test Subject

Sometimes, I truly wondered if perhaps this queen ant had her head kicked in by a donkey when she was still a larva. A simple question ended up requiring quite a bit of explaining on my part before she understood what I was trying to ask. By then, my patience had basically been worn thin.   As I looked at …

Chapter 264: An Offering?

Sensing Nola’s evil eye on her, the giant ant gingerly pulled itself out of its hive and slowly crawled towards us, body shaking with every step.   This ant was completely different from the other Black Blood Ants in terms of size; it was at least the size of a small calf and I could tell that the hole was …

Chapter 263: Should We Continue Eating?

We had probably earned the ire of the Black Blood Ants. They were basically throwing the entire hive at us right now, having just climbed out of the entrance hole just moments ago and now already charging at us without a care for their lives at all.   Still, no matter how imposing a horde chittering giant ants might have …

Chapter 262: Taste Testers

Nola’s flames were quickly snuffed but despite that, they had served their purpose. The Black Blood Ants were successfully angered though it was only several seconds later that we knew about that. From the section closest to the entrance, came a flood of Black Blood Ants that grew at an increasing and alarming rate. Finally, after ten seconds of growing, …
