Chapter 609 Chimera Ants (5)
After the ants were pushed away, they all looked for the source of this voice.
They found that there was a human that was lying there with an ant beside it.
Neither of them seemed to be moving.
So they quickly formed a defensive line around this area before gathering around the two bodies on the ground.
Using a spear to push away the ant's body, they went over to the human body and turned it over.
While turning it over, the captain said, "Rookie, get up. Stop lazing around, we need to run."
But when they turned the human body around, they found…it was a corpse.
The body had already turned completely cold and even the organs had been pulled out of the body, falling to the ground. Their rookie couldn't be any more dead like this.
The captain and the soldiers all revealed grim looks when they heard this, but they didn't waste any time in lifting up the rookie's corpse and bringing it with them. Since they had come all this way, they would at least bring this back with them.
Or at least they would have left if it wasn't for a voice that suddenly said, "Save me! Please save me!"
As soon as they heard this, all of them looked at the rookie that was being lifted up, but they quickly turned away. That was because they knew that this voice didn't come from the rookie.
They quickly turned in the direction that this voice came from and they found that it was the ant that they had pushed away.
While they were all dazed, the ant suddenly turned around and got on its feet before charging at the captain. The captain wasn't able to react in time and he took the brunt of the ant's attack right in the chest.
As he felt the pain fill him, he looked down at the ant to hear, "Save me! Please save me!"
It was clearly the voice of the rookie, but this voice was coming out of the pincers of the ant.
Just how was it able to do this?
It was too bad that the captain wasn't able to figure this out as the ant suddenly widened its pincers.
As those pincers spread apart, the chest of the captain was ripped open and his eyes dimmed as he took his final breath.
After ripping the captain's chest open, the ant's pincers came back to bite down on the organs inside of his chest. It quickly bit into the heart and then swallowed it in just two bites.
It was only at this time that the other soldiers reacted.
They all quickly raised their weapons and prepared to attack the ant that had just killed their captain.
But before they could…
That ant suddenly opened its mouth and said, "Rookie, come with me!"
The weapons in the hands of the soldiers suddenly stopped in midair as they looked at this ant in shock.
That was because the voice that the ant had just spoken in was…the voice of the captain that it just ate.
All of them felt a chill run down their spines as they realized something.
The rookie's corpse had shown signs that it had been eaten by the ants…
And the ant had spoken in the rookie's voice.
Then the ant ate the captain's heart and spoke in the captain's voice…
Did that mean that these ants had the ability to eat them and steal their voices?
There was only silence that hung in the air until one person finally said, "What is this monster?"
As soon as this was said, all of the soldiers let their fear take over and they wanted to destroy this ant as soon as possible. They were about to surround this ant and stab it with their weapons as much as possible, but they found that the situation changed.
The ants that had been pushed back by their defensive line regrouped and came in larger numbers.
No, it was better to say that they had suddenly attacked more fiercely than just that they came in larger numbers since in the first place, there were already a lot of them.
It was already surprising that they had been able to push back these ants in the first place with the number of soldiers that they had.
Since they were soldiers, they quickly figured out what had happened.
"They led us into a trap and we fell right into it."
There were bitter laughs of despair that rang out as they realized this.
But then there were determined looks that appeared on the faces of the soldiers.
It was as if they had suddenly come to a conclusion when they realized that it was impossible for them to escape.
One senior member of this group raised his spear and said, "Kill! Take as many of them with you as you can! We must rid this world of these evil creatures!"
The soldiers all roared out in agreement after hearing this before charging out at the ants.
They put up a much better fight than before because this time, they didn't care if they lived or died. They knew that they were already dead since they were trapped by the ants, so they were just trying to take as many of the enemies with them as they could.
Without caring for their lives, they were able to take out quite a few ants since the ants were only strong against those that were afraid of them. They only had a single hard shell and pincers to attack with.
Quite a few of the ants were taken down as the soldiers mounted a suicidal offense.
But there were just too many ants in the end that they couldn't take them all down.
Once the soldiers were killed…
The ants ate them and started talking in their voices as well, using them to lure even more soldiers in.
All over the battlefield, the same situation was happening.
