Just when Rhodes and others wanted to go to help, the flame symbols on their collars burned at the same time.

Rhodes and others held the sign at the same time, a strange resonance occurred in their spiritual energy, and a projection appeared in front of everyone.

It's Churchill.

"Are you all here?"

The projection looked around, and the expressions of the portraits composed of the fog generated by spiritual energy were distorted, but the anxious and worried expressions could still be vaguely felt.

"Very good, you return to Lighthouse No. 20 immediately."

Everyone was extremely surprised.

"Why?"

"Aren't we going to rescue? Someone nearby is in danger!"

The projection said in a deep voice: "You don't need to go to the rescue. I will go there myself. After you return to the lighthouse, don't enter the central area again."

Celie was surprised: "Mr. Churchill, aren't we going to hunt the king ants?"

"It's no longer necessary, Rhodes. Your mission has also been cancelled. The beacon will be kept by you for the time being. Someone will pick it up later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the projection disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

But during the war, the orders of superior commanders were unquestionable, and everyone had no choice but to return.

On the way back, they kept seeing flares for help rising in the central area. It was obvious that the situation was very bad.

"Why is this?"

Celie murmured, obviously upset that they suddenly received an order to retreat when they were preparing for a big fight.

Lannister suddenly asked: "Why did you suddenly encounter so many king ants today?"

Rhodes thought: "You mean, the queen ants have begun to hatch king ants in batches?"

Laien immediately said: "Yes, everything was fine yesterday, but today we suddenly encountered a large group of people! The Queen must have changed!"

Frank scratched his head in confusion: "However, the psionic power of the insect queen has not changed much. It also takes a long time to transform into hatching type. It shouldn't be so fast."

"There should be some reason, maybe related to our sudden retreat,"

While Rhodes was thinking, he drank the Tears of the Goddess and lifted the burning curse.

There was a feeling of fatigue, as if the body had been hollowed out. Although the curse disappeared, the consumption on the body did not decrease.

This thing should be used sparingly.

Rhodes thought.

It consumes too much for me, so I have to use an extra Tear of the Goddess.

But at that time, it was impossible not to use it. There were more than twenty king ants and three giant king ants. It was difficult for the seven of them to defeat them. Lane and Frank were also injured.

He must take drugs.

Fortunately, although it consumes a lot of money, the harvest is also good.

So many powerful souls are enough for the Book of Knowledge.

The only thing that makes him a little melancholy is that until now, he has not been able to obtain the last great soul.

I have been waiting for the last level of [Star Shuttle] for a long time.

As long as he completes it, he will definitely be able to officially advance to the ninth level of psychic power and become a third-level combatant.

By that time, his combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved.

It will definitely be easier to deal with these demonized ants.

Royal City.

White Tower.

Spirit World Hall.

The huge spiritual world detection instrument suspended in mid-air made a rumbling sound, and the spiritual energy field was abnormally distorted.

The prophets around them stood up one after another.

One person shouted: "There is a disturbance in the spiritual world!"

"No, look for His Excellency Yin Yetta quickly!"

A moment later, a bald man wearing a star-and-moon white robe flew into the hall. As soon as he raised his hand, the detection instrument returned to normal, and the psychic field became rounded again.

"Your Excellency Yin Yeta, what is..."

The bald man raised another hand to stop what he was saying, then stood there for a while and said.

"It's an invasion from the spiritual world. It comes from the high-level spiritual world and is crossing the space barrier. The migration point is near us. The disturbance is very strong and affects the instrument. Just turn down the sensitivity."

An attendant recorded his words respectfully.

Yinyeta continued: "The monster type, the disordered and grotesque demon, the migration point, thirty-seven thousand yards south of the Trident, well... something is continuing to summon it, that's all, leave it to the military war department."<

/p>

Yin Yetta flew away, and his followers did not dare to neglect and quickly handed over the record to the Military War Department.

After returning to the lighthouse, First Commander Herman explained the reason to Rhodes and others in detail.

Rhodes frowned slightly: "You mean, the insect queen is calling for a powerful spirit world existence?"

"Yes, the insect queen is born with the ability to communicate with the spirit world."

Herman paused for a few seconds and continued.

"The original name of Demonized Ants is Fra Devouring Ants, which feed on souls. After being corroded by the black mist, they turned into Demonized Ants, but their instincts have not changed much. The core of their population is the insect queen. When suitable,

Under the environment, it will gradually transform and evolve into a higher level of existence."

"Suitable environment?"

"When spiritual energy is turbulent, battles are frequent, and the law of killing is spread across the earth."

Celie asked: "What will it evolve into?"

"The queen will eventually evolve into a monster called the mastermind, which is one of the old masters. We were originally not sure whether the corrupted Fraula ants would still have this instinct, but now it seems obvious that

Yes."

Celie thought for a long time and then asked: "What does this spiritual world invasion have to do with it?"

Herman said in a deep voice: "The Queen of Worms will summon a powerful spiritual symbiotic creature to assist in its transformation, and the Grotesque of Disorder is one of them. This is also one of the evolutionary rituals. The Queen of Worms has been calling for it for a long time.

”

"But by the time the White Tower monitors it, it's already too late. The spirit world ritual will be completed soon, and the queen ant will become a more powerful existence. At this time, there is no point in killing the king ant. All we can do is wait.

."

Celie looked very unhappy.

"Why wait? Can't we take the opportunity to stop the ritual? How will the insect queen evolve after killing that spiritual monster?"

"No, this is too dangerous. We can't predict what will happen during the ceremony. Whether it is a higher-level insect queen or a disordered monster, they are not monsters you can deal with. The royal city will dispatch more powerful combatants to deal with them.

, your task is to guard the lighthouse area and prevent monsters from spreading outward."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Celie really couldn't accept it, but the battle order could not be violated, so she had no choice but to scold the Lannister and angrily went back to the room.

Rhodes was also very disappointed. He killed well and came back just like that.

Ordinary monsters cannot satisfy his needs now.

I originally wanted to see if I could steal the insect queen's soul.

Now it seems that there is no possibility.

Wait for the next opportunity.

Rhodes thought sadly.

Anyway, you have entered the Palace of Fire, so there are many opportunities.

After returning this time, I should have enough badges in the palace. Just buy the trident, and the power of the star shuttle will be improved again.

If you shoot one to death in the future, do you still have to worry about not having enough souls?

Haha.
