Chapter 3382 The Sturdy Body

The tensed faces of the three people from the other races relaxed as they sensed Zen's unwavering confidence.

Even if they got ahold of only a few of the many Chaotic Source Spirits, they would be satisfied.

Chaim still harbored doubts, and he didn't want to let his guard down. He felt worried since he would be of no help, at least not for a short while. Because Chaim had just used the Living Puppet Chains, he needed time before he could offer assistance.

Just when Chaim was about to voice his fears, the queen ant finally began to move.

Even though the queen ant appeared to be overweight, it was still quite agile in its ability to move. It maneuvered itself in an arc on the ground before it headed directly towards Zen.

It might have sensed Zen to be the biggest threat in the cave, so eliminating him first became its primary goal.

"Whoosh!"

Watching the queen ant approach him with malicious intents, Zen prepared himself by drawing out his long sword. His eyes flashed with a wild fighting spirit flaring up as he studied its movements.

Even though he braced for the upcoming attack, Zen couldn't help but feel a little worried and confused by the situation.

However, his worries were not tied to Chaotic Source Spirits.

Even if these Chaotic Source Spirits collectively contributed to strengthening the body of the queen ant, they could only make it more durable. It would have the resistance of a punching bag, resilient and solid, but not intimidating.

The real issue was to figure out the source of the power of those fierce ants that attacked them earlier.

Each of those poisonous ants contained the power of dozens of divine megatons.

The only way to obtain such power in the Source World was to enter the Other Shore and fuse oneself with an Other Shore Token. Other than that, it was close to impossible for one's physical body to contain the strength of dozens of divine megatons. Even someone like Zen would be unable to do so without entering the Other Shore.

However, these ants didn't have a mind of their own. Their strings of control were in the hands of the queen ant. They would follow every order from it blindly without question. Even the orders to lay siege to the intruders were from the queen ant.

Compared to them, the queen ant was quite intelligent. Zen could tell its soul was not to be underestimated when he sensed the aura it emitted. It must have entered the Other Shore through the Truth of Cultivation Nature and later fused with an Other Shore Token...

The Other Shore Token in its possession could provide each of the several thousand ants with dozens of divine megatons of force. Gathering all that power together would further add up to tens of thousands of divine megatons under the queen ant's control.

As the queen ant closed the distance between it and Zen, it was time for him to make his move. Zen jumped back and stationed himself on the wall of the cave. He used it as a boost and turned over to fall backwards towards the queen ant. His body dropped at an alarmingly high speed.

Zen kept his long sword grasped tightly in his hands as he directed himself towards

to launch his attack. His hair stood on end, and his fingers morphed into sharp claws that he used to jab at the queen ant.

The strength of the claw radiance wasn't weak when faced with a normal opponent. However, when it struck the queen ant's body, it failed to break through its defensive shell.

The weakest offensive strike was that of the Lofty Mountain member. Since he was scared half to death from the queen ant, he was cautious enough to not approach it. Instead, he decided to find some big rocks on the ground and hurl them at it while maintaining a safe distance. Compared to the sturdy body of the queen ant, those rocks were as fragile as tofu. They were quickly reduced to dust upon collision.

Not only did he fail to contribute to causing significant damage to the queen ant, but he also slowed the others down by blocking their view. Sally gave out an exasperated sigh and yelled angrily, "Stop throwing the rocks! They're not helping!"

The man from the Lofty Mountain race cast a sideways glance at Sally and cursed in his heart. He believed when his reinforcements arrived, they would take away all the Chaotic Source Spirits and kill the others.

Although Sally and the others continued their efforts to bring the queen ant down, they failed to distract its attention from Zen. It didn't bother with them at all.

Even though the queen ant could not speak, there was no denying the fact that it was intelligent. It had a sound judgment of the situation. The only person in the cave capable of threatening it was the young man it kept its gaze on. As long as it killed him, the other creatures wouldn't take up much effort.

Fixated on its target, the queen ant kept chasing after Zen without fail. Zen continuously moved around it to dodge its advances.

'This ant has devoured the Chaotic Soul Spirits. However, it hasn't undergone the Chaotic Source Reinforcement yet. That means its body still has weaknesses. I just need to find them...'

At the thought of this, Zen narrowed his eyes slightly. He began to study its body as a white light appeared in his right eye.
