Goodbye Mom, I'm setting sail tonight [Chapter 2]

"Ah!!!"

Some Soul Masters began to scream.

It was as if a black sea had spread around them, the ant colony swiftly passed by their sides without touching them in the slightest.

These ant swarms, under Bi Ji's command, were extremely orderly and disciplined.

To trample... how to trample? Soul Masters who previously held that thought now wanted to slap themselves.

The surrounding ant swarms, piled upon each other almost up to their ankles, would surely devour a person to nothing but bones instantaneously upon Bi Ji's command.

Zi Ji's mouth twitched uncontrollably as she watched the scene, equally surprised and now hiding behind Bi Ji, somewhat frightened.

Her fear of clusters was getting the best of her.

Bi Ji clearly hadn't realized she could summon so many ants; this wasn't on the same level as when she used the Goddess's breath to attract them before...

Lin Yi hadn't expected there to be such vast numbers of ant populations in Soul Land either.

At this moment, he reminded, "Now that they have come, aren't you going to say something to your subjects?"

Bi Ji turned to Lin Yi in a daze and immediately nodded.

Indeed, she had something to say.

"I, I, I have lots of food, you don't need to go to faraway places just to carry food back anymore, I'll call you, and you can come find me..."

"But next time, can you not come in such large numbers... because I don't think I have that much food..."

Lin Yi was stunned.

So Bi Ji wanted to be the ant queen just to conveniently call them over for food?

"Did you all understand?" Bi Ji asked the ants.

The ants seemed to have collectively been struck speechless...

Great, the new queen summons them not for battle, but to say she has food, yet not much of it...

Because Bi Ji genuinely hadn't expected so many ants.

However, the ants still respected their newly crowned queen immensely and formed gigantic letters in the sky with their bodies.

"We follow our queen's commands."

Just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

Everyone looked in one direction to see a group of huge-bodied soul beasts approaching.

Could it be... Thousand-Juncture Ants?!

The soul beast Thousand-Juncture Ants?!

It seemed the soul beasts in the nearby forest had heard Bi Ji's command as well; they belonged to the ant tribe and thus also obeyed Bi Ji as their queen!

If that's the case, even the Thousand-Juncture Ant King in the Aquipeia Forest would listen to Bi Ji's command.

The soul beast ants were not limited to these species—on the contrary, there were a particularly large variety of ant soul beasts!

Soul Masters, who previously mocked Bi Ji, could now no longer muster a laugh, as even one Thousand-Juncture Ant here could easily take on a group of them.

Bi Ji sniffed, looking dumbfounded.

She just wanted to tell the ants she had food so they wouldn't have to work so hard searching for it everywhere... but she never expected so many to show up. Goose Goose really didn't see this coming.

The surrounding ant tribe had already caused severe panic among all Soul Masters, including the residents of Soul City.

Bi Ji hurriedly shouted from the stage in a panic, "Soul beasts, go away quickly! You will be in danger appearing in front of humans!"

But the result was quite the opposite; as soon as her words fell, all the Thousand-Juncture Ants turned their razor-sharp teeth toward the Soul Masters present and encircled them.

All the ant swarms showed their murderously sharp fangs to the humans at that moment.

The flying ants in the sky even formed the word "Kill" with their bodies.

What the hell?!

Don't spread rumors; Emerald Swan senior, how did you see that the soul beasts were in danger?!

Weren't it us human Soul Masters who have been in danger from the very start?!

The encircled Soul Masters were trembling with fear, their minds filled with silent complaints.

Lin Yi: "..."

"Alright, Bi Ji, let them disperse now; if they trust you, they already have their judgment in their hearts."

Bi Ji turned to Lin Yi when she heard him speak, immediately nodded, and shouted loudly to the ant tribe:

"Go home, everyone! If there's food, I'll call for you!"

Actually, Bi Ji didn't need to shout loudly; even if she whispered, "The queen's command," it would be received by all the ant tribe.

The sea of ants scattered across the hills withdrew, resembling the sight of the black tide ebbing away, finally lifting the oppressive feeling from the hearts of the Soul Masters. Once the flying ants left, the sky seemed to clear up once again.

That was terrifying... The Soul Masters were still shaken by the scene they had just witnessed.

It seems we really shouldn't underestimate any group.

Lin Yi looked at Bi Ji and suddenly asked out of curiosity, "Would you make them do bad things?"

Bi Ji was stunned for a moment, then raised her little hand and swore, "I won't let them steal food, I'll find food and feed them myself!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Are you kidding me? Stealing food counts as bad stuff?

Of course, I'm talking about oppressing other races on the Soul Land continent. Once the ant tribe has a leader, it will definitely send shivers down the spine of every creature in Soul Land. Their combined strength would be incredibly terrifying.

But seeing Bi Ji's thought process, asking her to oppress others would probably be a pipe dream.

Lin Yi was almost reassured, and then said, "Alright, let's continue with today's second assault."

"Hmm!"

Zi Ji glanced down at the energy bar on her bracelet, which now showed sixty percent remaining.

During the time the flying ants dominated the sky, she noticed the speed of solar charging had slowed down a lot.

This time, Zi Ji directly activated Robot Mode.

A pale blue giant sphere appeared in midair, and limbs made of bluish-green lasers quickly extended from the sphere.

This giant Robot Mode was designed in the anime to easily destroy an island; it's just a pity that it was sliced in half by the protagonist with a single sword strike.

Everyone looked up at this somewhat unconventional robot, each with a more exaggerated expression than the last.

What dimension did this thing come from...

Anyway, Ju Zi (Orange) could tell that this had nothing to do with soul technology; this gadget's technology level was far ahead of any soul technology in Douluo Continent.

Zi Ji sat in the control room of the giant robot, with a clear attack pattern in her mind.

"If I want to inflict damage higher than the Electric Light Poison Dragon Laser Cannon, I'll choose this mode," she said.

She looked down at the red button on the instrument panel in front of her.

"Kilometer Flame Laser Sword!"

Yes, this sword was a kilometer long...

"Warning, warning, using the Kilometer Flame Laser Sword will deplete all remaining energy. Do you wish to proceed?"

"Proceed, after all, this is the only attack left for today."

Zi Ji responded to the mechanical voice coming from the control room.

The attack pattern for this Skill seemed to be designed by the prince to conveniently puncture an island.

She deliberately piloted the giant robot next to Lin Yi, at which point Bi Ji had already covered the robot with her augmenting power.

According to the Skill description, the Kilometer Flame Laser Sword's highest damage occurs in the instant the blade is unsheathed over a kilometer, capable of piercing an island in less than a second with laser scorching.

So, Zi Ji came to Lin Yi's side, positioning the blade directly against him.

Hopefully, she wouldn't puncture the Golden Dragon Lord...

After counting to three in her mind, Zi Ji lifted the cover on the control panel and smashed her fist down on the red button.

Kilometer Flame Laser Sword! Unsheathed!

"Boom!"

The next moment, Zi Ji witnessed an unexpectedly shocking scene.

The fiery-red Laser Sword resembling a blaze instantly unsheathed, but Lin Yi was not pierced through. Instead, he continued to sit steadier than a mountain, while it was Zi Ji's robot that was sent flying by the force of the blade!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The robot flew out instantly, knocking over countless Soul Masters who had gathered below to watch.

Bi Ji stood on the stage, stunned, looking at the Flame Laser Sword protruding from Lin Yi's chest. Lin Yi remained unmoved on the stage, while Zi Ji's robot had already ended up a kilometer away.

The robot that was just in front of her had vanished...

A kilometer-long red Laser Sword lay horizontally between them, dazzling and spectacular...

The gust of wind that followed the robot's flight nearly knocked Bi Ji over, making Lin Yi want to set musical accompaniment for Zi Ji:

"Goodbye, mother, tonight I shall voyage far away~"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

That's one long sword.

Senior Lin Yi, still as staunch as ever...
