'What makes you think the queen ant is about to evolve?' Blake asked with deeply furrowed brows. After analyzing the pattern of events, the system had come to a conclusion that the queen ant was about to advance to the Queen rank realm. [Ants have a simple social structure. Once one feels the queen isn't worthy to lead them, a female ant starts a coup. In this case, all ants were deployed it means it is still in control. Also, it means that the queen doesn't want anything including traitors to…-

On the large pillar of earth, surrounded by his teammates was Brian. Using the earth element and the earth pillar as a conduit, Brian regulated the number of ants his team fought. Whenever the ants on the pillar reached a dangerous level, barriers erupted at different levels of the pillar, cutting off the ant army into waves. "Although it's one day left and every team is in a rush to take the lead. I think they are shortsighted." Damon said. "Not only are they making the entire hive aware of their…

Under the cover of darkbringer, the team reached the location of the battlefield undetected. Tessie's team had raised a wide expanse of land to over 6 meters high, giving them an advantage as they attacked the ants as the ants tried to climb up. "It isn't a bad set up, but we don't have to do a thing because they would eventually be overrun by the ants." Damon said. "You might be right, but from what I am seeing they are aggressively farming points. If they wanted to escape it wouldn't be too hard…

"That is why you should not use a rock dome, you will never see your attacker coming." Blake shook his head as he appeared beside Damon. It turned out to be team 4 and they comprised of 2 commoners and 4 nobles. When the noble team leader had been sent the map of the location, one of the commoners had protested against the idea, but he was quickly eliminated by the team leader. Unluckily for them, the stupid action of the team leader made Blake's work easier as he eliminated all of them…

"Is anything wrong?" Damon asked when he saw Blake pause for quite some time. "Yes, I can sense another team." Blake said. From when Blake had warned them about the incoming ants to now, he had been displaying incredible sensory feats. Damon had no idea about how he does it, but he knew he was never wrong. "Does that mean we have a lot of work to do this night?" Damon asked with a helpless sigh because he already knew Blake's answer. "It has to be done." Blake said as they began returning to…

It was completely dark, Blake and Damon left the water barrier and under the cover of darkbringer, they began scouting all entrances. At the entrance closest to them, the number of ants there had more than doubled just like Blake had predicted. Each trail that was moving out of the hive was nothing less than a hundred. "Well, this entrance is known to have the highest traffic. So I think we should have better luck at the other entrances.' Damon said. As the team was close to the second closest…

Blake didn't even have time to curse as the system gave him more bad news. Ansgar's lookout spot was quite a distance away, so that once they were alerted it would give them some time to clean up and leave the scene. The fact that the system had already detected the incoming horde of ants meant they had no time left. 'Shit! That idiot is going cost us a lot.' Blake was furious at Ansgar and would have loved to strangle him to death but this wasn't the right time. "Grab as much as you can and…

The team continued to watch as the battle between the 2 groups raged on, but slowly it began tilting towards the side of the centipedes. The army of 50 ants were led by a Knight-rank ant against 15, 7 poison centipedes. They were numbered more than 3 to one, but somehow the centipedes were wining. Apart from the Knight rank ant, the others were finding it hard to penetrate the hard exoskeleton of the 7 poison centipedes. Coupled with their length which was close to 4 times that of the ants, the…

At a different part of the map, team 1 was just done killing a knight rank emerald crystal back gorilla and was taking a break while using the corpse to attract more beasts to their locations. That was when they saw the points of team 6 rising at an alarming rate. It kept on increasing for close to half an hour before finally settling at 45k points! 'Just like I suspected they have found an insect hive and at this rate, we won't be able to catch up to them if they decided to take 2 days off.' Seeing…
