Global Game: Crazy Mobile App-Chapter 206 - 202: Hang Yu’s Ants
The three squadron leaders had a discussion.
"I suggest we abandon the attack on the Fishman Village."
Captain Wang proposed, "There are too many fishmen stationed at this Fishman Village, and according to our probing, there are many dangerous Spirit Realm creatures in the surrounding area. They don’t attack the fishmen but will attack us, which is very troublesome."
Captain Li agreed, "That’s right, we don’t have enough people, it’s nearly impossible to break through!"
An elite squad formed by three groups.
In total, it’s only sixteen people.
Even if they are not weak.
Even with top-level experts.
It’s still far from enough to shake the fishman’s lair.
The scale of the fishmen on Jiangxin Island was more than anticipated, and the elite fishmen encountered were stronger than imagined.
Rather than pursuing an impossible mission,
it’s better to conduct guerrilla warfare, attack the fishmen’s outgoing troops, disrupt their rear to relieve pressure on the Celestial Net’s main force.
Huang Yan asked Hang Yu beside him, "What do you think?"
"I disagree. To come all this way and give up now is too unwilling." Hang Yu spoke straightforwardly, "I believe we can do more. The Fishman Village isn’t impossible to break through."
The Fishman Village has a rich reserve of supplies.
This trip could yield quite a bit of benefit.
This was one of the main reasons Hang Yu took on the task.
If you give up at the first sign of difficulty, then you lack ambition!
Otherwise, don’t call yourself Hang Yu.
Better change the name to Hang the Codfish!
When the Celestial Net’s main forces storm into the fishmen’s main lair and confiscate all their resources, there won’t be a penny left to seize, which isn’t Hang Yu’s style.
Captain Wang quickly said, "Expert, I know you’re powerful, but we’re heavily outnumbered and can’t break through."
"That’s right, we are not only dealing with the fishmen, but also many tough Spirit Realm monsters in the vicinity!"
Huang Yan suggested, "I think we could probe first, and if it really doesn’t work, then change our strategy."
Everyone discussed for a moment and ultimately decided to do as Huang Yan suggested.
Who wouldn’t want to gain more merit on this mission?
If we can really break through the Fishman Camp,
the fishmen’s retreat route will be cut off,
and that would be a major achievement! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Even if we can’t break in, at least this is a prepared probe, and with the first team joining in, it shouldn’t end up as embarrassing as before.
The sixteen people walked for a few minutes.
The outline of buildings appeared in the mist.
Every building was covered in moss and vines, looking like ancient ruins abandoned on a deserted island for thousands of years. It’s hard to believe that a month ago, people lived and thrived here.
Jiangxin Island, floating like a cucumber in the Yangtze River, has villages on top that are similarly stretched in shape. The area occupied by fishmen is to the north, near the docks on Jiangxin Island.
"Be careful!"
"Ahead is the Fishman Village."
"There is a giant frog monster here, capable of long-range attacks and very tricky!"
Sixteen people hid in a completely deserted residential building, eroded by nature. They peered through the heavy mist and could vaguely make out some outlines of buildings unlike human structures.
Eagle Eye Technique!
Hang Yu activated the scout’s skill.
When vision penetrated the mist, he could see more clearly that a five-meter-high sand wall stretched in front.
This should be the work of the fishmen!
Several fishman patrol squads were wandering around.
The fishmen among them were mostly elite and very troublesome!
Moreover, in the bushes, giant water-blue frogs the size of calves were scattered everywhere — Water Jet Frogs!
Water Jet Frogs are ordinary monsters.
Their levels can reach 4 to 5.
They are very alert and have a "Water Arrow Skill," capable of attacking targets within a twenty-meter radius. Once close, you will be surrounded by water arrows, and the damage ability is quite surprising.
What was very strange was,
the patrolling fishmen passed by these giant frogs,
but these giant frogs, while very alert, did not attack.
Hang Yu didn’t find this surprising; methods to suppress a monster’s aggression are few but they do exist, like Bai’s Third Tier skill Illusion Dust, which has this effect.
The fishmen used some kind of method.
To weaken the aggression of Water Jet Frogs towards them.
Thus, as long as you don’t actively threaten these Water Jet Frogs and maintain a proper distance, they won’t attack the fishmen. The fishmen guide more Water Jet Frogs over, thus forming a defensive force near the camp.
Huang Yan asked, "So, can we get in?"
"The fishmen have built a wall, with too many Water Jet Frogs nearby, along with several fishman patrol squads; forcing our way in is indeed too risky!"
Hang Yu’s tone shifted, "However, I must say, you guys are very lucky."
Liang Qiu quickly asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you’ve met me!"
Liang Qiu: "..."
She had the urge to hit someone.
"I just happen to have a unique way to get into the Fishman Village, and I guarantee it will be completely undetected." Hang Yu gestured to everyone: "Step aside a little, watch me use the Spirit Communication Skill."
Hang Yu released five Giant Ant Monsters.
Each one was a giant reddish-brown ant!
Huang Yan, Liang Qiu, and Liang Dong all showed expressions of surprise.
"Aren’t these Worker Ants!"
"You actually chose Worker Ants as Spirit Beasts?"
Everyone was baffled.
Using these as Spirit Beasts?
Isn’t that too lowly!
"Hey, even so, contracting five such giant ants at once is too much, isn’t it?!" Sun Chaosheng couldn’t suppress his urge to complain, "Do you have too many Spirit Beast Contracts to handle?"
Does he have some strange obsession, is he an ant fanatic?
This is certainly not a Spirit Beast Contract.
It’s just a small creature bred by the Human-faced Ant Queen.
After receiving the Spiritual Gems ordered from the Battle Net yesterday, Hang Yu took out five Level 1 grey gems and one Level 1 white gem for the Human-faced Ant Queen. Although the summoning ability of the Human-faced Ant Queen is powerful, the True Summon process is very slow, so it is necessary to prepare in advance.
Therefore.
Within the Spirit Beast Space.
Previously, there was a Husky borrowing Bai’s computer to play games and read novels.
There was also a Human-faced Ant Queen with her six Summoning Ants. Of these six Summoning Ants, one is an Elite Soldier Ant, and the other five are these ordinary Worker Ants you see now.
[Red Worker Ant], Level 1 Ordinary Monster, HP 12, Spirit 8, Spiritual Qi 0/50, Evolution 0/30, Skills: Excavation Skill, Low-level Construction Skill.
Weak to the max!
Exceptionally weak!
Even a Level 1 ordinary Giant Ant Monster doesn’t qualify as a third-rate fighter!
However, despite being weak, all Worker Ants have an Excavation Skill.
This is a highly niche skill—just digging ten times faster, with no combat value whatsoever, but Hang Yu doesn’t see it as a niche skill.
For example, it can be put to use right now.
No matter how tight the Fishman’s vigilance, no matter how impenetrable the Fishman’s defense.
Worst case, I won’t cross your alert line.
Worst case, I won’t break into your defense circle.
Low-tier Fishman’s perception is too weak.
Unable to mobilize Giant Ants’ actions.
Hang Yu is the master of the Human-faced Ant Queen; as such, the Giant Ant Monsters summoned by the Ant Queen can be controlled entirely by Hang Yu, without needing to release the Ant Queen.
A group of Celestial Net captains was amazed to find.
The five Giant Ant Monsters gathered and began to dig.
Evidently, they’ve released some skill that makes the ground soil in front of them behave like water, swiftly parting and retreating at an astonishing speed. Soon, a huge tunnel was formed, and the five giant ants didn’t surface; they kept furiously digging toward the Fishman Village.
Holy cow!
This works too!
Are they conducting tunnel warfare?
"Each person takes a potion."
"Here, drink it and follow me."
The Celestial Net captains took the potions and drank them down.
As they followed Hang Yu into the tunnel, they found that although the passage was newly dug, it seemed quite stable and shouldn’t collapse burying them alive easily.
Not surprising.
Don’t underestimate the Worker Ant.
Although this guy is indeed extremely weak.
But besides Excavation Skill, Worker Ants have a Low-level Construction Skill that can reinforce tunnel structures. Despite the soft soil, and lack of mechanical support, the tunnel still appears quite stable, and there shouldn’t be any collapse in the short term.
The five Giant Ants were fed Spiritual Power Potion in turns.
With sufficient Spiritual Power, the work efficiency naturally was very high.
In about fifteen minutes, the Giant Ants opened a tunnel and first crawled back to the surface.
Scouting around.
No danger was found.
Hang Yu led a dozen Celestial Net captains out of the tunnel, "See, didn’t we get in just fine!"
All the captains looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Each had a sign of admiration on their face!
Absolutely amazed to the core.
These Celestial Net captains originally looked down on the Giant Ant Monsters.
Now they realize, though the Giant Ant Monsters are indeed weak, if used well, the Excavation Skill is a Divine Skill!
But contracting five Giant Ant Monsters as Spirit Beasts... this is quite a significant move!
It’s hard to accept!
