Battle of Ascension

Chapter 155: Zhen Yi's Resolve

Meanwhile, Zhen Yi was hunting in the end border of Bogor Territory and Sukabumi Territory. She departed from Evergreen City at 6.30 a.m. Currently, she was hiding in the bush and in the front, there were eight big holes. Each hole had five meters diameter and from the hole came out an ant, a huge ant.

The eight holes located at the hill. She found this hill with Randy when they were looking for Primeval Nether Wolf. Both already checked the eight holes for looking the Territory King and Primeval Nether Wolf.

But inside the holes, there was only an ant, nothing else. So, Randy and Zhen Yi left this place after could not find what they were looking for. Zhen Yi marked the hill on her map, for her new hunting ground with the abundance EXP.

What she didn't expect was that she would here again in the short time. She was planning that she would hunt here when her level reached level 73 to 75. But after the fight between Randy and Primeval Nether Wolf, she realized how weak she was.

She could only watch the fight despite Randy faced the danger. Zhen Yi knew that although at that time she had the power to help him, he would refuse as he wanted to avenge his two best friends with his hand.

But what happened if they met a beast or a monster which stronger than Primeval Nether Wolf? Letting Randy fought alone while she watched him fight from afar? She didn't want to; she wanted to fight side by side with Randy. Zhen Yi wanted they were protecting each other, not only Randy who was protecting her.

So, before that, she must grow stronger, stronger than the current her. But Randy rejected her to have the Primeval Nether Wolf's bloodline which could give immediate power to her.

Although, she understood what in Randy's mind, looking for a stronger bloodline for her but she could not help but angry at that time as Randy refused to give the Primeval Nether Wolf's bloodline.

She knew that she should not be angry at him at that time. Also, angry at him only showed how weak she was. Zhen Yi let out a heavy sigh as guilt came into her heart as she realized that she was in the wrong.

As she could not have her own bloodline for now, then the only way for to become strong was the title and her level. That was why she decided hunting the Giant Ant. Although she knew it was difficult for her to hunt the Giant Ant. But she gained a lot of EXP by killing the Giant Ant.

In the last three days, she already filled her EXP bar from twenty-one percent to eighty-five percent. Which meant she harvested sixty-four percent EXP in three days for hunting the Giant Ant alone.

The ant was black with two meters high and three meters long. From the eight holes, the and frequently went in and out.

-------------------------

[Giant Ant]

Grade: Rare Beast

Level: 80

-------------------------

The ant was the Rare Grade Beast which became Zhen Yi target. Even though she could only fight three ants at once, but the EXP gained by killing Giant Ant was a huge sum EXP.

Each time she killed five Giant Ants, she gained one percent EXP. So, she was camping beneath the bush, looking for the loner Giant came out, and ambush it one by one.

It had been an hour since she hid in the bush. She already killed six Giant Ant with her Ice Fury. She remembered how her husband's way to hunt. He attacked directly to the beast's nest which made dramatically raise of his level.

But as she neither have a skill like Dragon Roar skill nor monstrous stat like her husband had. So, she didn't dare directly attack the beast's nest like what Randy did.

That was why she hid behind the bush and ambushed each Giant Ant which came out from its nest. This was the better than looking for the loner Giant Ant which wandering in Bogor Territory.

Soon, she noticed an ant came out from one of the holes. She looked her surrounding first, checking if there another Giant Ant. She could not fight over three Giant Ant at once. With that, she must be cautious for her surrounding, less she would get surrounded by the Giant Ant as her location was not far from the Giant Ant's nest.

There was no other Giant Ant except the Giant Ant who just came out from the hole. The movement speed of the Giant Ant was not fast compared to her speed. With that Zhen Yi stealthy followed the Giant Ant.

After she followed the Giant Ant for some time and confirmed she was already far from the nest. Zhen took immediate action. As Bogor Territory was a jungle, there were many trees over the territory.

Most of the trees were five meters tall with a thick branch and had a huge trunk, twice normal human size.

Zhen Yi climbed up the tree within two seconds. Afterward, she leaped toward the Giant Ant which in the below. She aimed the spearhead to the Giant Ant's head.

Puchi!

The Ice Fury pierced the Giant Ant's head with ease. Zhen Yi didn't use her force to pierce deeper. Instead, she twisted the spear and pulled it out before leaping back, distancing herself from the Giant Ant.

Curuuu!

After Zhen Yi pulled out her spear from Giant Ant's head, green liquid spurted out. The Giant Ant twitched on the ground for a while before stopped moving, indicating the Giant Ant was dead in one attack.

This was the twenty-third Giant Ant which died in her hand since the morning. She always did the same thing when a Giant Ant came out alone from the nest. Afterward, Zhen Yi came closer and cut the Giant Ant's front limbs which like a razor which could cut the tree with ease.

Zhen Yi gave The razor limbs to Happy Smithy as the razor limbs was a material for a blacksmith. Although, at best, the razor limbs could only create Uncommon Grade equipment. Uncle Daniel said the materials could be used for the apprentice of the Happy Smithy to train.

After cutting the two front limbs, Zhen Yi climbed to one of the trees which closest to the Giant Ant's carcass. Usually, the blood from the Giant Ant would attract the other Giant Ant. Afterward, the Giant Ant which attracted by the smell blood would carry the carcass back to the nest.

That was why Zhen Yi climbed up to the tree. She wanted to kill the coming Giant Ant. Usually, there would be two or more Giant Ants were coming. If the two or three Giant Ant came here, Zhen Yi would ambush it. But if the coming Giant Ant was more than three, then she would retreat. She didn't take the risk to fight more than three as three Giant Ants were her limit.

Soon, she hears the Giant Ant's steps came closer. Giant Ant had six feet which hard to detect how many Giant Ants came. So, Zhen Yi was waiting for the Giant Ant came to her sight.

She was hiding, not letting the Giant Ant detect her which in the top three. After a few moments, two Giant Ants came into her sight. Looking at the two Giant Ant were coming closer to the Giant Ant's carcass, Zhen Yi's eyes lit up.

She confident to face two Giant Ant at once. Moreover, with her ambush, one Giant Ant would die for sure. So, she only needed to face one Giant Ant at the end.

The two Giant Ants were coming closer and closer. Arriving at the dead GIant Ant, the two Giant Ant didn't carry the carcass immediately. The two Giant Ants nudged the dead Giant Ant with its head.

After a few times nudged their head and the dead Giant Ant didn't give any response, the two Giant Ants carried the dead Giant Ant with their mandibles. Just the two Giant Ants lifted the dead Giant Ant, Zhen leaped from the tree branch and made the same move as before to the closest Giant Ant.

Puchi!

The same before, Zhen Yi twisted the spear and pulled it out. After pulling out the spear, Zhen Yi didn't leap back, instead, she was leaping to the other Giant Ant. She raised the spear with her two hands; she held the tip of the spear shaft and swung the spear downward. Aiming the Giant Ant's head with her full strength.

Pachi!

The Giant Ant's head shattered, green liquid squirted out to all direction. Zhen Yi could not dodge the incoming green liquid as she was just stepped on the ground. She helplessly let the green liquid smeared over her armor.

Soon, a pungent smell invaded her nose. With three Giant Ants dead, there would be more Giant Ants were coming later. Zhen Yi knew she could not kill the incoming Giant Ant anymore. Also, she could not withstand this pungent smell.

With that, she dashed to the closest river to wash the pungent smell away.

Meanwhile, in the East City, Randy was heading toward the East Blacksmith to take his Infernal Set Armor.

As for the guest from the Dragon Dynasty was his acquaintance. Randy let this 'acquaintance' to wait for him to take his Infernal Set Armor if this 'acquaintance' to talk with him. Thus, the 'acquaintance' was waiting for him back from the East Blacksmith.

'Heng, in the past this 'acquaintance' of him was cocky. Now, I said that there was an important thing to do, this 'acquaintance' comply obediently to wait for me despite this 'acquaintance' was waiting for me since the early morning,'

Recalling the acquaintance's expression when he said wanted to take care more important thing and let this 'acquaintance' to wait, Randy let out a satisfied smile.
