Chapter 854: What should we do about this?

The magical laser shot by the Ant Queen “Biu” hit Robb’s face, and surprisingly, Robb couldn’t “resist” it and lost over a thousand HP in an instant.

“Ouch, that hurts!” Robb exclaimed, “This thing can actually pierce through my defense.”

Suofa felt embarrassed and said, “Then why did you hold me with both hands? Put me down so we can deal with it.”

Robb shook his head and said, “No, no, as soon as we come out of the ant hole, you won’t let me hold you anymore.”

Suofa replied, “Since you put it that way, I won’t let you hold me now.”

She struggled in Robb’s embrace, but he held on tightly and refused to let go. As they were fussing, the Ant Queen stared at them and shot two more magical lasers, “Biu, Biu,” towards them.

Because Suofa was struggling in Robb’s arms, he inadvertently got hit by the lasers himself, which could pierce through his defense. If the lasers hit Suofa, it would be very painful for her. Robb quickly turned his body, and the two lasers hit the back of his head and back, causing him to lose over two thousand HP.

“Wow, this Ant Queen is so arrogant!” Robb maintained his embrace of Suofa, and with a swaying motion, he teleported to the Ant Queen. Its enormous belly was rolling under his feet, and it felt eerie, like standing on a moving floor.

“This thing is so disgusting,” Suofa shouted, “I don’t want to step on it.”

Robb laughed and said, “Then be still and let me hold you.”

As they exchanged a few words, the Ant Queen turned her head and prepared to shoot lasers again. However, Robb stomped with force, causing a loud “boom!” sound. His stomp was incredibly powerful, creating a large hole in the Ant Queen’s belly.

Robb believed that the Ant Queen could break through his defense, so he used a bit more force in his stomp. Unexpectedly, the Ant Queen’s belly was unexpectedly fragile. The hole created was too large, and he didn’t anticipate it, causing himself to fall into the hole. Suofa, who was in his embrace, exclaimed, “No!”

But it was too late to shout “no” at this point.

With a splash, the two of them fell into the Ant Queen’s large belly.

Inside the Ant Queen’s belly was filled with a peculiar green fluid. It felt like they had fallen into a sticky and disgusting pool. Suofa wanted to scream, but she was afraid of accidentally ingesting the fluid, so she quickly closed her mouth.

Robb quickly kicked the side of the Ant Queen’s belly, breaking through the wall. With a loud crash, they emerged from the Ant Queen’s belly. The Ant Queen couldn’t withstand such turmoil and died. However, Robb and Suofa became two green creatures covered in green fluid, resembling humanoid slime monsters.

Suofa said pitifully, “What should we do now?”

Robb said, “Fortunately, you haven’t passed out yet. Just asking what to do is already better than ordinary women. Normally, women either faint or feel nauseous and vomit.”

Suofa laughed and cried, “I’m an assassin, not an ordinary woman. I’ve even had to crawl through sewage for missions. But even then, I still feel disgusted.”

Robb replied, “Well, at this point, we can only take a bath!”

Suofa said, “Although we’re in the territory of the Jinghong Mountains, it’s also on the edge of the desert. Where can we find water for bathing?”

Robb said, “Looks like we can only use soulless water magic.”

Suofa responded, “Only you would think that things conjured by magic have no soul. I don’t see any problem with water conjured by magic.”

While they were having a nonsensical conversation, Robb conjured a burst of fire and burned the Ant Queen and the ant eggs to ashes, ensuring that these things wouldn’t cause trouble for humans in the future. Then he started digging a hole on the spot and used water magic to create a hot spring.

Suofa, sweating profusely, asked, “Do we really have to take a bath in the ant hole? Can’t we go outside?”

Robb said, “Dig a hot spring pool on the mountaintop outside? Aren’t you afraid of exposing yourself? You’ll end up shouting about being shy again.”

Suofa remained speechless.

She couldn’t argue with that reasoning, so Suofa had no choice but to endure it. Anyway, Robb had burned everything in the hole related to the ants with the burst of fire, so it was disinfected by high temperature. She had to make do and not be too picky.

Biting her lip, Suofa cautiously glanced at Robb beside her. After hesitating for several seconds, she decisively took off her clothes and jumped into the pool.

As a self-consolation, since she had already kissed Robb and he had already seen her naked body, it didn’t matter anymore.

Soon, she saw Robb also removing his clothes and slipping into the pool.

Just as she was about to keep some distance from Robb, she saw him reaching out and pulling her into his embrace, holding her in his arms with tenderness and both of them being naked. It was incredibly exciting.

If they continued like this, things might get out of hand. Suofa was trembling with nervousness all over her body and felt like escaping. Just then, she suddenly noticed something shining between Robb’s discarded clothes and armor by the side of the pool. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Hey, the crystal ball is lit up! Don’t just take advantage of me, answer the call!”

“At a time like this, what man would answer a phone call?” Robb chuckled. “You’re overthinking it.”

“Answer it quickly! Important matters are more pressing. It might be Elsie and the others in danger. If you don’t answer the call promptly, someone might die.” Suofa exerted all her strength and struggled out of Robb’s embrace. “I’m not ready yet.”

Robb always respected women, so since she said she wasn’t ready, he let her go. He waved his hand, and a crystal ball flew into his hand. This crystal ball only had audio communication function, without image transmission, so he didn’t mind answering it now. He balanced the crystal ball and answered the call.

Elsie’s voice came from the other side, “Godfather, we suffered a defeat.”

“Wow!” Robb chuckled, “What happened? Do you need me to come help?”

“No need to trouble yourself, Godfather,” Elsie said. “I don’t want to interrupt your journey to find rare minerals with such a trivial matter. Although we suffered a defeat, we didn’t incur any losses. I can handle it with some solutions. I just needed to inform you.”

He paused for a moment, then continued to report, “We were defeated by a monster in this battle. It was a massive scorpion. According to Motra, its name is Sand King, a famous monster at the border between the Jinghong Mountains and the Desert Kingdom.”

“Oh?” Robb became interested, “A monster?”

Elsie replied, “Yes! This monster only attacked our forces and completely ignored the other two rebel forces. Its behavior is completely different from that of ordinary monsters. That’s why I have to report to you. It’s evident that one of the rebel forces has received support from the Kingdom of Norma, and the monster doesn’t attack them either. There’s something fishy going on here. I suspect these rebels, the Kingdom of Norma, and the demon tribe in the Jinghong Mountains are collaborating.”
