Permanent Martial Arts

Chapter 166 Solution

“Chief Commander, the people from the South Mountain Base are here!”

Actually, there was no need for the notification. Everyone in the North Mountain Base had seen them. In the distance, a huge airship was flying towards the North Mountain Base. The symbol on it was the formal symbol of the South Mountain Base.

“I’ll welcome them myself.”

Mo Lei said in a low voice. No matter how much he looked down on the people from the South Mountain Base, the South Mountain Base had worked hard to send reinforcements. As the Chief Commander, he absolutely could not neglect the people from the South Mountain Base.

Hence, under Mo Lei’s lead, many martial artists from the North Mountain Base rushed to welcome the airship from the South Mountain Base.

At this moment, in the spaceship, Lin Feng could see a huge base below. This base was much larger than the South Mountain Base, and the architectural style was extremely strange.

There was no sense of aesthetics to speak of. Looking at it from a high altitude, it was a giant fortress through and through, entirely constructed from hard steel.

The airship landed quickly, and Lin Feng led his people out of the airship.

“I’m Mo Lei, the Chief Commander of the North Mountain Base. Thank you all for coming to reinforce us.”

Back when Mo Lei was a martial artist of the Freelance Cultivators Union, he had the face of a Westerner, but he had grown up in the East. He had long reached the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm, and had also guarded the North Mountain Base for 20 years.

Lu Wei stepped forward and introduced, “Chief Commander Mo Lei, this is the Chief Commander of our South Mountain Base, Lin Feng!”

“Brother Lin Feng, your fame precedes you. Being the recipient of the Hero of Humanity Medal is really enviable. I’ve been overseeing the North Mountain Base for 20 years, but I haven’t even obtained a single Hero of Humanity Medal. Brother Lin Feng, you are accomplished in your youth.”

Lin Feng nodded and said, “Chief Commander Mo Lei, you’re too polite. How is the North Mountain Base is doing now?”

Seeing Lin Feng ask about the situation in the North Mountain Base directly, Mo Lei approved inwardly.

“The situation in the North Mountain Base isn’t very good. I’ll take Brother Lin Feng to see the situation outside the base now.”

With that, he led Lin Feng to the fortress

tower.

Upon arriving at the fortress tower, Lin Feng saw that there was practically a dense horde outside the North Mountain Base. Terrestrial Ants were everywhere. These Terrestrial Ants seemed to have gone insane, and were constantly attacking the North Mountain Base.

The North Mountain Base had well-established defensive measures. Even so, the continuous attacks of the Terrestrial Ants still caused great casualties to the North Mountain Base.

“You haven’t thought of attacking proactively?” Lin Feng took the initiative to

ask.

Mo Lei glanced at the people behind Lin Feng, but did not answer directly. Instead, he asked softly, “How many people did Brother Lin Feng bring to the South Mountain Base?”

“Including myself, there are a total of 11 inhuman experts and 3,000 ordinary martial artists.” Lin Feng answered truthfully.

“Only 11 inhuman martial artists?”

A trace of disappointment appeared in Mo Lei’s eyes. Actually, he already knew that he shouldn’t hold out too much hope. How could he not know the situation in the South Mountain Base?

These 11 people were already almost half the strength of the South Mountain Base. The South Mountain Base still had to guard against the Pangolin Beasts. It was impossible for all of them to come to the North Mountain Base to reinforce it.

This was already almost the limit of the South Mountain Base.

However, knowing it was one thing. Hearing Lin Feng voice it, Mo Lei still felt very bitter. There were only 11 inhuman experts, and none of them were Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists. What could they possibly do?

Lin Feng naturally noticed the look of disappointment on Mo Lei’s face, but he did not say anything either. The South Mountain Base indeed only had this amount of strength, and it could only afford to send this amount of reinforcements.

“Brother Lin Feng, look at those Terrestrial Ant in the distance that are glowing with a faint silver light. They are the demons among the Terrestrial Ants. There are hundreds of them. How can our North Mountain Base dare to attack proactively?”

“Hundreds?”

Lin Feng was shocked. He followed Mo Lei’s gaze and looked into the distance. Indeed, those Terrestrial Ants that were glimmering with silver light were actually only twice the size of ordinary Terrestrial Ants. They were far inferior in size to the Pangolin Beast demons.

However, they were the most savage Terrestrial Ant demons. Not only did they have the sharpest and sharpest teeth, which could bite through the toughest steel, they could also spit out acidic liquids that were extremely corrosive.

Even for Metamorphic Realm martial artists, if they did not have Astral Power to protect their bodies, they would be seriously injured and even directly killed by the corrosion practically upon contact. There was no way to cleanse it at all, and it was extremely horrific.

If even one Terrestrial Ant demon was so terrifying, what about hundreds of them?

Lin Feng had seen 30 demons when he was battling the Screwworms outside Dragonlith City. He had seen 40 to 50 demons when he was fighting the Pangolin Beasts at the South Mountain Base.

However, this was the first time he had encountered hundreds of demons!

“Do you know the reason behind the Terrestrial Ants’ attack this time?”

Lin Feng knew that these demons were all intelligent. It was impossible for them to attack the base for no reason, and on such a large scale. Were they trying to destroy the North Mountain Base in one fell swoop?

“Our North Mountain Base has never encountered such a large-scale attack before, either. Moreover, they do not seem to really want to attack the North Mountain Base.”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Feng was a little confused. How could they surround the North Mountain Base if they do not want to attack it?

“It’s the Queen Ant! One of these Terrestrial Ants is the general-level Queen Ant, who commands all the Terrestrial Ants. Every time they attacked the North Mountain Base, the Queen Ant was definitely involved. However, it’s very strange this time. We didn’t find any trace of the Queen Ant. Moreover, these Terrestrial Ants are rushing out of their anthill in a frenzy, looking like they are competing to be the first. It doesn’t seem like they are under strict command, but are rather scattered, and even a little frightened.”

“I suspect that something has happened to the Terrestrial Ants’ anthill. Has our North Mountain Base just suffered an unwarranted disaster by implication?”

Lin Feng observed these Terrestrial Ants closely as well. He also felt that it was just as Mo Lei had said. Terrestrial Ants were strictly hierarchical dire beasts, and their internal hierarchy was much tightly managed than the internal hierarchy of the Pangolin Beasts.

Only the Queen Ant was qualified to command the Terrestrial Ants. Even those Terrestrial Ant demons would find it difficult to command the ordinary Terrestrial Ants without the Queen Ant’s orders.

Mo Lei had been in charge of the North Mountain Base for 20 years. He clearly knew the Terrestrial Ants very well, and his analysis was reasonable and justified.

However, regardless of whether something had happened to the Terrestrial Ants’ anthill, or if the North Mountain Base had been implicated, these analyses could not resolve the current difficulties of the North Mountain Base.

They had to repel these Terrestrial Ants!

“Brother Mo Lei, are you sure there’s no sign of the Queen Ant?”

Lin Feng seemed to have thought of something

“I’m certain that the Queen Ant did not instruct the Terrestrial Ants to attack this time. Otherwise, with hundreds of Terrestrial Ant demons and tens of thousands of Terrestrial Ants attacking in an orderly and large-scaled manner, would our North Mountain Base be able to hold out until Brother Lin Feng brings reinforcements?”

Mo Lei said firmly. He had guarded the North Mountain Base for 20 years. He would never make such a joke.

“If the Queen Ant isn’t here, I have a solution that is worth trying, but it’s a little dangerous.”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said. “What solution?”

“Target the source directly! It’s very simple. It’s impossible to deal with tens of thousands of Terrestrial Ants. However, as long as we can defeat those hundreds of Terrestrial Ant demons, the crisis at the North Mountain Base will naturally be resolved.”

Lin Feng said calmly. In reality, this was also the method he used to resolve the crisis in the South Mountain Base last time. It was simple and direct, but it was the most effective.
