Chapter 60 Ant Colony (2)

Rain was holding stun Bomb in his hand.

Despite having lost points to the system for the mermaid stone, Rain has been hunting relentlessly and streaming his exploits to earn more points. In addition, he also received a bonus of 100 points for making progress in the game's plot. With the points he had earned, Rain decided to invest in some stun bombs, which he believed would be useful in his upcoming battles.

Using his quick reflexes, Rain threw a stun bomb at the area where the guards were gathering, causing them to become disorientated and stunned for a brief period of time.

He then unsheathed his sword and launched into battle, utilizing his Shadow walk and Shadow Sword Art techniques to quickly dispatch the guards.

Rain's Shadow Sword Art was particularly effective in this battle, allowing him to quickly close in on his opponents and deal devastating blows with his sword. The technique enabled him to move like a shadow, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, making it nearly impossible for the ant guards to anticipate his movements.

Rain also utilized his Sword of Recognition technique, which was a powerful and precise attack that could easily take down his opponents. This technique allowed him to channel his mana into his sword, imbuing it with incredible power and accuracy. With the Sword of Recognition, Rain could strike his opponents with pinpoint accuracy, even in the heat of battle.

As the stun effect wore off, the guards regained their senses and began attacking Rain, spouting acid from their mouths.

However, Rain was quick on his feet and adeptly dodged their attacks while slashing back with his sword, using his Sword of Recognition technique to land precise and powerful blows.

With the Sword of Recognition, Rain could strike his opponents with pinpoint accuracy, even in the heat of battle.

In the end, Rain emerged victorious, having successfully defeated the ant guards.

After that he entered the Ant colony. As Rain entered the ant colony, he immediately noticed the complex network of tunnels and chambers, which seemed to go on for miles. The air was thick with the smell of decaying organic matter, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of dirt and ant carcasses.

Despite the eerie environment, Rain was determined to push forward. He knew that he needed to be on high alert, as any misstep could result in encountering a mutated monster or a group of ant guards.

Rain had adopted a strategic approach towards hunting in the ant colony. He began by eliminating the low-class ants and gradually moved towards the guards. Once the guards gathered around, he would throw the stun bomb and finish them off with his sword. Rain repeated this strategy for a while, using up all his stun bombs and killing most of the ant guards.

As he ventured deeper into the colony, he encountered small groups of ants every now and then. He fought them off with ease and continued his exploration. However, his continuous efforts had left him fatigued, and he had sustained some minor injuries in the process.

Feeling drained, Rain sought refuge behind a nearby boulder and retrieved some potions from his space ring. Thanks to his knowledge of alchemy, he could make low-grade potions to help him recover.

As Rain rested behind the boulder in the ant colony, he couldn't help but notice the eerie appearance of the place. The walls of the colony were made of mud and seemed to be covered with a slimy substance. The air was humid, and the smell of damp earth filled his nostrils.

He observed the ants as they scurried back and forth, their movements synchronized, as if following a predetermined path.

Some were carrying bits of leaves and twigs while others dragged along small insects as food for the colony. Rain noticed that the ants varied in size and shape, with some being bigger and bulkier than others.

As he looked around, he noticed that the colony was home to a variety of creatures. Strange-looking bugs and insects could be seen crawling up the walls and ceiling, and he could hear the faint sound of water dripping in the distance.

He also saw some openings in the walls that seemed to lead to other chambers within the colony.

After taking a much-needed break, Rain resumed his hunting mission, determined to make the most of his time in the ant colony.

Rain continued to explore the Ant colony and eventually stumbled upon the Ant Queen, who was surrounded by a group of worker ants, guards, and queen guards.

Knowing that he would have to take them all on, Rain first searched for a blind spot before slowly taking out low-class ants with his Thunder Eagle. However, it wasn't long before the other ants became alerted and started to gather.

To take them down, Rain used low-grade mana grenades that he had purchased from the black market for hunting. He had mid-tier mana grenades as well, but he felt that using them would be overkill and might even cause the colony to collapse.

After throwing the mana grenades, most of the ants were killed, leaving only the Queen guards and the Queen Ant alive. Rain took advantage of the confusion caused by the grenades and rushed towards the Queen Ant.

As Rain approached the Queen Ant, he was met with resistance from her guards. The Queen Guards, having been alerted by the commotion, quickly formed a protective circle around their queen. Rain quickly realized that he had to take them out before he could reach the Queen Ant.

Rain drew his sword and charged towards the guards. The guards were massive, with hard exoskeletons that made them difficult to penetrate. But Rain's sword was coated with poison that he had collected from poisonous herbs on the island. The poison weakened the exoskeletons of the guards and made it easier for Rain to slash through them.

The guards fought fiercely, spewing acid from their mouths and striking with their strong mandibles. But Rain was quick on his feet, dodging their attacks and striking back with his sword. He used his Shadow Sword Art technique to increase his speed and agility, allowing him to outmaneuver the guards and deliver lethal blows.

Despite their strength and size, the Queen Guards were no match for Rain's skill and determination. One by one, they fell to his sword. With the guards taken care of, Rain turned his attention to the Queen Ant, who was now vulnerable without her protectors.

Rain's sword strikes, now combined with the poison coating, proved to be too much for the weakened Queen Ant, who was left vulnerable after losing her guards. After collecting all of the corpses, Rain decided to leave the Ant colony.
