Mice dominate the dungeon

The entire cave was engulfed in flames, rapidly warming the already damp and chilly environment.

Under the ravages of the inferno, the originally oppressive black ant swarm turned into a flowing red line of death.

But the burrowing ants did not choose to obediently wait for death. Under the command of the guard ants, the soldier ants that had not yet been licked by the sea of ​​fire huddled together.

One by one, the pitch-black 'ant balls' began to roll vigorously in the sea of ​​fire. The outermost burrowing ants gradually turned charred black, and then their bodies were eroded by the flames and burned to ashes.

A strong and unpleasant burning smell filled the air.

But this also allowed several 'ant balls' to break free from the encirclement of the sea of ​​fire.

However, the number of soldier ants was less than half of what it had been before.

From the moment the troops were dispatched until now, Tucci's campaign against the burrowing ants has been overwhelming.

That's why he disdained using surprise attacks on the burrowing ants.

With complete intelligence and sufficient preparation, we can simply push forward without needing to do too much brain-intensive work.

The situation is now very favorable for Tucci.

Although the remaining soldier ants, under the command of the guard ants, will hinder his advance to some extent, as long as he proceeds steadily, they will be gradually devoured by the soldier rats.

Just as Tucci was about to give the order to gradually erode the territory.

He suddenly noticed that one of the 'ant balls' had stopped moving, standing there blankly.

It's as if the guard ants forgot to command the 'ant ball'...

Tucci looked at the entrance of the anthill with a puzzled expression.

wrong!

It's not that the guardian ants forgot to give instructions!

Instead, the guardian ant that commanded the ant ball died!

A savage yellow and white rat slowly pulled the broadsword-like blade that had pierced the guard ant's head!

This rat is none other than the veteran—Korgan!

As the inferno raged and black flames rose, it used its extensive war experience to evade the burrowing ants' sight and sneak into their nest.

And it astutely seized the opportunity to strike, killing a distracted guardian ant!

At that moment, a slightly roaring voice also rang out in Korgan's consciousness.

"Gan! You son of a bitch! Why did you go up to the anthill alone?!"

"You said you wanted to destroy the anthill, Boss Tucci!"

"You're a fucking genius!" Tucci exclaimed again, "But do you know you're surrounded! Get out of the anthill!!"

Upon hearing his boss's words, Korgan abruptly looked around.

A guard ant and a dozen soldier ants appeared nearby.

Clearly, the assassination attempt had enraged the burrowing ants in the area.

As a savage soldier, Korgan may often be overly brave, but it is not a fool either, especially when faced with the onslaught of burrowing ants.

Without much thought, Korgan took off running.

But as soon as it turned around, it saw two soldier ants had already circled around to its back.

Korgan glanced at the other directions out of the corner of his eye, but did not choose to change his escape route. Since the encirclement was not completely closed, the two burrowing ants in front of him were the weakest point of attack!

Without further hesitation, Korgan gripped his battle blade tightly with both hands, stomped his claws on the ground, and his hind legs spun like a pair of rapidly spinning wheels.

【Emergency LV2】

Using the momentum of his rapid movement, Korgan crashed straight into the soldier ant and forcefully stabbed his blade into its head.

The moment the sharp blade touched the soldier ant's flesh, it pierced through the mandibles, penetrated the ant's body through the labial base, and emerged from one side of the pronotum.

The immense inertia then propelled Korgan and the soldier ants in front of him toward another soldier ant.

*Pfft!*

The blade tip that emerged from the soldier ant's body pierced the compound eye of the second soldier ant.

"Rolling around, rolling around!"

A mouse and two ants huddled together, rolling several times on the ground before finally stopping their momentum when they bumped into a protruding rock.

Korgan felt a heavy weight in his chest as he looked at the two soldier ants pressing down on him. The one that was right next to him was already dead, while the second one was struggling desperately, its limbs thrashing about because its compound eyes were severely injured.

Korgan gritted his teeth and spun his battle blade, the tip of which plunged completely into the head of the soldier ant that was not yet quite dead.

A large amount of thick, light yellow liquid sprayed down the wound and onto Korgan's face.

After smashing the brain of the second soldier ant to pieces, Korgan pushed away the two soldier ants on his body and stood up abruptly.

Before it could even wipe the sticky substance from its face, it stepped on a dead soldier ant and painstakingly pulled its battle blade from its body.

Turning its head, it saw that the other burrowing ants were already attacking it.

The momentum from the previous incident brought Korgan to a relatively safe place, with enough distance for it to buffer its escape.

With their ability to "rush," the burrowing ants could never catch up with Korgan.

After chasing for some distance, the lead guard ant suddenly twitched its antennae, sending a signal.

The soldier ants that had been chasing them all stopped in their tracks.

It seems they don't want to waste time on that damned rat!

At this moment, Korgan, which was running away, looked back and saw that the burrowing ants had stopped chasing it, so it slowly stopped its rapid clawing.

While panting, he glanced at the burrowing ants that were preparing to retreat.

Upon seeing this, Korgan quickly wiped the sticky substance from his mouth, tilted his head back, and screeched at the guardian ants in the distance.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

[Taunt LV2]

The guardian ant, which had just turned to leave, paused, turned its head, and stared intently at the yellow-skinned mouse with its compound eyes.

Although it didn't understand rat language, it could sense the strong insult contained within!

It is insulting itself, insulting the queen ant, and insulting the entire burrowing ant colony!

The guard ant was so angry that its mandibles trembled slightly.

The next moment, the guardian ants led the charge towards Kolgan.

Without the slightest hesitation, Korgan grabbed his knife and ran.

Korgan provoked the guard ants because it knew very well that if it could restrain one more guard ant, the casualties of its leader and the other soldier rats would be reduced!

This is its ultimate purpose in coming to the anthill!

Thus, a slightly comical scene unfolded on the anthill.

The guard ants chased after him, and Korgan ran away.

When the guardian ants stop, Korgan stops too.

Seeing that the guardian ants were about to give up again, Korgan began to mock them.

This pulling and tugging nearly drove the guard ants behind them crazy!

Meanwhile, Korgan opened its mouth wide and gasped for breath. Although its lungs felt like they were about to explode, it was still enjoying the game it was playing!

Just as it was grinning with its big teeth, a small bump appeared on the ground in front of it.

As soon as Korgan stepped on the mound, his foot sank in, and then a jaw clamp clamped down on his leg.

There's a soldier ant lying in ambush underground!

Immediately, Korgan, the entire rat, crashed to the ground.

Fortunately, it held the blade firmly in its hand, and even after this mishap, the veteran still demonstrated its rich experience.

It mustered all its strength and slashed a fierce blow at the mound below.

*Clang!*

With a piercing sound, the jaws that had been gripping Kolgan snapped off.

As soon as Kerkgan was freed, he saw a guard ant filled with raging fury, raising its ferocious mandibles and charging in front of him!
