Chapter 918 - 661: Smuggling, Part 2

Mountain Pepper Ant King: "This ability was specially devised by the Snow Velvet Tycoon to promote the Divine-Grade Fruit, claiming it can suppress Sea Beasts. I’ve tried it with the White Crystal Butterfly King, and it’s just average, not ideal."

Bloodvine Bee King: "Just average?"

Mountain Pepper Ant King: "I guess, it must be the effect of the Divine Mark, Bionic Ability, and Elemental Form triple blessing, the Ice Pillar scale increased a hundredfold, penetrating power increased several times, an ordinary ability strengthened into a terrifying ability that can instantly kill Sea Beasts."

"The key is not the ability, but the Mantis King Ink Orchid. I suspect that many seemingly ordinary abilities, when executed in its claws, can explode with earth-shattering power. For example, last time at the Battlefield of Yu’e Island, it used Thunderfire Dual System ability to blow up the Whirl Beast."

It’s acceptable if a single ability is powerful.

But if every ability can explode with the power to instantly kill Sea Beasts, the power of the Whirl Beast...

All the Insects fell into silence simultaneously.

The Mountain Pepper Ant King was the first to regain composure and asked: "Black Olive, are you sure the Kirin Beast was killed?"

"Can’t be sure..."

Black Olive repeated the statement: "I vaguely saw the Kirin Beast, but when I got closer to look, it was already a field of corpses, the Ant King, Assistant King, and Bettle King who landed on the island were all killed. The Ant King fought to the death, many Soldier Ants under its command were heavily injured and lost combat power, leaving only about one or two million Ant Armies cultivated by other Ant Kings in battle, but without the Assistant King’s command, they were all left as blind remnants in disorder."

Dark Maple Dragonfly King: "I’m fast! I’ll go there myself to take a look!"

Mountain Pepper Ant King: "Dark Maple, go quickly and come back quickly. Bloodvine, Azure Mica, Sedge, let’s organize an Allied Army to prepare to counterattack Yu’e Island!"

...

...

Twilight.

Above the largest island in the Far Seas of the Thousand Reef Archipelago, a floating cloud drifted boredly around the island, circling and floating.

-- What do the ants mean?

-- What’s going on?

-- Mysterious and enigmatic, feigning mystery.

Purple already lost count of how many circles it had gone around the island, utterly bored.

"Butterfly?"

Suddenly, Mantis King Ink Orchid’s spiritual power’s intent came through.

"Huh?"

Purple rapidly shot out of the thick cloud, spiritual power scanning, ahead, an unseen Wind System Bionic Mantis.

Mantis King Ink Orchid’s form emerged.

"Mantis~!"

"You finally came!"

"The ants asked me to guide you."

"Do you have a way to find the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King?"

"What exactly are you two doing? We’re so familiar, couldn’t you let me in on it? Is it doable or not?"

Purple started with a bunch of narration and questions.

Mantis King Ink Orchid thought for a moment, raised its Catching Feet, and fiercely said: "Try talking nonsense again? Believe it or not, I’ll chop your head off?"

"Alright—"

"Let’s not waste time."

"Follow me."

Purple waved its Tentacle to signal and set off leading northward.

...

Deep night.

Purple stood atop the Cloud Mist Butterfly’s head, carefreely flying over the Dragon Stride Mountain Pass.

The Origin Force Fluctuation aroused the Insect Clan Warriors in the sentinels below to release spiritual power for investigation.

Flash Butterfly Warrior Purple.

Some familiar Insect Clan Warriors recognized it and greeted to inquire:

-- Purple, what are you busy with in the middle of the night?

-- Back from Volcano Island?

-- What’s the situation on the Zhibai Continent?

-- Purple, did you hear the news? Yu’e Island has fallen.

"Reporting back to the Volcano Ant King."

"We’re trying to find the trace of the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King, find it and kill it..."

Purple casually responded, suddenly startled.

What?

Yu’e Island has fallen?

Dragon Cypress Ant had long foreseen it?

So arranged Green Heart to wait for news?

Purple’s mind suddenly brightened, ambiguously conversed with the Insect Clan Warriors below for a few lines, quickened its pace towards the inter-world passage.

The gate opened.

Six Pillars Ant King personally led the army guarding it.

"Six Pillars Ant King!"

"I’m entering Zhibai Continent for some matters."

Purple controlled the Cloud Mist Butterfly to slowly descend, greeted, withdrew the ability, the Cloud Mist Butterfly collapsed, turned into a large mass of thick fog spreading.

"Go on."

Six Pillars Ant King responded briefly.

Purple, however, was not in a hurry to leave, chatted and asked: "Six Pillars Ant King, just heard, Yu’e Island has fallen?"

Six Pillars Ant King countered: "Didn’t you already anticipate it? That Green Heart with you, didn’t he go to Smoke Blue Mountain specifically to await news?"

"Yes—"

Purple flapped its wings, dispersing the thick fog around, and simultaneously said:

"I just knew without me and the Dragon Cypress Ant King, the useless ones at Wave Tree Bay wouldn’t be able to defend Yu’e Island. Falling was inevitable. Then nothing. I’ll first return to Wind Phoenix Mountain..."

...

Purple swiftly passed through the passage, exchanged a few greetings with the Insect Clan Warriors stationed at the Zhibai Continent’s exit, took to the sky, and directly headed west into the sea territory.

Estimating the distance, it hovered in the high sky, looked around, and quickly spotted the target.

Dragon Cypress’s Whirl Beast lurked on the sea surface not far away.

Mantis King Ink Orchid had already gone over.

Purple hurriedly controlled the Cloud Mist Butterfly to dive, accelerating its approach.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King? Mantis King Ink Orchid? What exactly are you plotting? Can you tell me now?"

Purple asked angrily.

Dragon Cypress briefly said: "Over at Wanglan Continent, Blue Island’s three Eddy Scorpionfish, fifteen Sea Beasts, and numerous Bettle Kings and Assistant Kings were all ambushed on Rainbow Island."

Purple: "Ah?!"

Who’s bluffing?

Purple shook its Tentacle, not believing, said: "If that’s true, Ant, Mantis, you two could hit the jackpot, billions of Source Stones resources? Can’t spend it in ten lifetimes! And countless Divine-Grade Fruits to eat."

Dragon Cypress: "Purple, don’t ask too much, act according to the plan. Remember, hibernate and don’t talk to any insects."

Purple: "..."

Dragon Cypress said no more, controlled the Whirl Beast to depart.

Mantis King Ink Orchid raised its Catching Feet full of threat meaning

Purple: "Stop talking nonsense! Let’s go!"

...

...

Dark Maple Dragonfly King knows the position of Rainbow Island, knows it’s a far-sea island occupied by the Flame Spider clan, rumors say it hides the Flame Spider Roving Merchant’s astounding wealth.
