Chapter 188: Back to Thunder Mountain Bridge
When more and more ants began to stream in a certain direction, that meant there was something killing them, or something catching their attention. The Charming Lance Beetle merely had to head towards the direction in which the majority of the ants were moving. In this manner he would run into beasts to kill and more precious resources. Every so often he would have the Beetle send out recall pheromones and get all the ants to return. Then once they were all packed inside the Beetle could spread its wings and move them to a more promising location.
After a few days of this routine, one of the flights brought them into range of some of the geniuses. Sage immediately had the Beetle hide itself, but upon listening in, he had to change his plans.
Fu Zedong, come out into the light. For a clan that claims to stand in the light, why are you all so familiar with the shadows? I know youre out there, stop hiding.
After a moment another voice answered, Just like the Chong Clan. You always talk as if youre a group of valorous heroes and then you poison people in their sleep or use parasites to take control of peoples families. Are you ready to face your death, Chong Xiezi?
Che-He-Hehe. There you are. You finally had the courage to show yourself.
The ones with no courage are you Chong Cla Argh!
The conversation abruptly ended and Sage moved the Beetle out to watch the show. A man dressed all in black had a mask that showed only his eyes. The mask was styled like the face of a bat with an upturned nose and huge bloody fangs. Across from him was a beautiful woman, Chong Xiezi. She ripped off her lovely flower covered robes and exposed a suit of skin-tight black leather underneath. Her body was criss crossed with leather harnesses and sheaths, each of them gleaming with silver blades and implements. In her hand was a large bull whip, studded with sharp metal barbs which she started lashing out at Fu Zedong with.
Ants had already started streaming out of the Charming Lance Beetle, flooding the area where the two were fighting. Fu Zedong lifted his blade, not saying a thing. His reputation as a cold assassin shining through. Before it could connect, a massive Beetle slammed into him from the side, knocking him away. Amazingly, he saw it coming at the last instant and turned to receive the strike. Smashing his palm against the Charming Lance Beetle and breaking the impact even as he was thrown far away. Hed managed to turn most of the bone crushing force into a propelling force and prevent most of the damage. Unfortunately, for him, as he landed he saw that behind him was a sea of ants, encircling the area like the sea around an island.
Chong Xiezi was confused, but then the Beetle drew a single character on the ground next to her. Lang. It took her a second, but then she suddenly smiled. The Beetle leaned down, lifting one leg for her like a step and she climbed up, hopping onto the back of the Beetle. Behind where she was sitting the back of the Beetle split open and its outer shell flipped apart to expose a pair of wings. The two of them lifted into the air and looked down at Fu Zedong as the ants started to tighten the noose, shrinking the empty circle he was in.
This would be a perfect time to test out the Ant tactics again, too bad Im not there to guide them.
Sage couldnt use his Hypnotic Eyes through the Beetle, so the ants could only use the more basic strategies. They were already in battle mode, right now the Colonels, and their hundred thousand ants, were using an encircling tactic. They head towards the marked target, but when they get too close they turn away. They begin with a high separation value, but as time passed the separation rule for the target would weaken, bringing them closer and closer.
After a few minutes, Fu Zedong was left with only a few feet of clear space. Hed been taking some pills and gathering energy as Sage and Xiezi watched from the air. Finally, when it seemed things were already too late, Fu Zedong fixed them both with a frigid stare. Then he threw something into the air and jumped on to it. It was a black disc about the size of a manhole cover and there was a grey fog coming from underneath it. The ants under it got blown backwards, but Fu Zedong pushed off, jumping off of the disc and throwing out another one. A third one followed after that while the first and second disc fell downwards.
In midair, Fu Zedong spun around and pulled at the air. Sage noticed a trio of thin cables, the pull whipped the three discs back to Fu Zedong and they disappeared again just as the man landed on the ground and dashed off. Sage tried to pursue with the Beetle, but a few seconds later Fu Zedong disappeared into a dark corner and he was gone. There was no trail to speak of and hed already expended his ant army, there was no sense in pursuing.
The Beetle returned to the site of the battle.
