âThank you for your compliment!â Wang Teng chuckled.
The antman queen was stunned. âHow can you laugh at such a time? Youâre indeed different.â
âActually, thereâs no use praising me. Why should I help you?â
âI know that you wonât help me without a reason,â the antman queen said, âI can help you to escape from this planet. Without me, you will have trouble leaving this place.â
âNo, I have a way of leaving,â Wang Teng said confidently. âIt doesnât matter if youâre with me.â
âHuh?â The antman queen was dumbfounded. She observed Wang Tengâs face, trying to see if he was acting.
âThe antman race has some wealth on other planets. We were in a hurry to escape, so we didnât touch those treasures. If you save me, I can give them to you,â the antman queen pondered before speaking again.
âHow much?â Wang Teng asked. He was interested.
âIn terms of UC, these treasures are probably worth 300 trillion.â
âGasp!â Round Ball was shocked. It opened its eyes wide.
Wang Teng was dumbstruck too. He felt that he must have heard wrong.
300 trillion!
Are you kidding me?
The Flaming River Universe Lord only gave him around 20 trillion worth of inheritance. Yet, this antman queen was telling him that her race had 300 trillion worth of assets!
âIs this a joke?â
âOf course not.â
âIt isnât enough.â Wang Teng pondered for a moment and shook his head. âIf Iâm right, youâll be discovered once you leave this place. To that presence, youâre more delicious and conspicuous than me.â
The antman queen became silent.
She didnât expect Wang Teng to know this. This was something she tried to hide because she knew that he wouldnât agree to her request.
âLooks like Iâm right.â Wang Teng turned to leave.
He didnât want to carry a burden with him. Besides, this antman queen couldnât be trusted.
That presence was already frightening enough. The possibility of accidents happening would be greater if he brought this antman queen along.
âWait!â Just when Wang Teng was preparing to leave from the crack, the antman queen shouted helplessly, âBring me along. Iâm willing to pledge my loyalty.â
âYour loyalty!â Wang Teng stopped.
âYes, my loyalty.â The antman queen said, âYou can get the entire antman race if you get my loyalty.â
âWang Teng, this antman queen must be driven up the corner. To think that itâs willing to pay such a price.â Round Ball was screaming in astonishment in Wang Tengâs mind. âIf she pledges her loyalty, her entire race will have to listen to you from now on. Theyâll be slaves forever.â
Honestly, Wang Teng was moved. The antman race was a powerful race. It was definitely good to have them under his wing.
âAre you sure?â Wang Teng took a deep breath and asked.
âI can release my origin to let you leave your mark,â the antman queen said calmly.
âAlright, release your origin. Iâll bring you with me once I leave my mark.â Wang Teng finally nodded after some thought.
The antman queen didnât say anything. A white crystal flew toward Wang Teng under her control.
Wang Tengâs eyes shimmered. He released his spiritual power and entered the white crystal, leaving his mark on it successfully.
Now, Wang Teng could decide the life and death of the antman queen with a single thought.
However, through his senses, he knew that this antman queen had reached the universe stage. Fortunately, Wang Tengâs spiritual power was strong enough. It had reached the peak of the celestial realm and wasnât far away from achieving a breakthrough. That was why he could still leave his mark.
However, once her abilities exceeded this limit, he might not be able to control the antman queen anymore.
Wang Teng blinked. He wasnât worried though. He was confident that he could maintain the difference in their abilities within this range. He might even be able to shorten it or surpass the antman queen.
âTime is tight. Letâs leave this place,â the antman queen said.
âWe canât leave for now. My spacecraft is spoiled. I need to repair it first,â Wang Teng answered.
âI have an undamaged universe-level spacecraft. We can use it to leave this planet.â
âWhat? You have a universe-level spacecraft? Thatâs great!â Wang Teng was elated. He asked hurriedly, âWhere is it?â
âBelow a structure around 8000 kilometers away to the east.â
âAlright, letâs head there.â
He didnât want to stay any longer on this planet. The earlier he left, the safer it was.
âGo back to your Soul Crystal. Iâll put you in a safe place so that thing wonât be able to find you,â Wang Teng said.
âYou have a way to hide my presence?â the antman queen said helplessly. She felt that she was fooled.
âI have to take some risks too.â Wang Teng smiled. He kept the Soul Crystal with the antman queen inside into his space fragment.
âYouâre a sly one. You forced the antman queen to bow down to you,â Round Ball said.
âStop bullshiting. I donât want to bring this troublesome fellow along,â Wang Teng replied.
âPlease continue your act.â Round Ball scoffed.
âLetâs go.â Wang Teng crawled out of the antman queenâs brain and passed through its body before arriving outside.
âWe need to bring this body back. This is good stuff, especially the brain. You can escape external detection. This is why the antman queen didnât get discovered. Itâs unbelievable,â Round Ball exclaimed.
Wang Teng nodded. He stored the body of the antman queen in his space ring.
Boom!
At this moment, an ice-blue spear glow struck down from above, sweeping through the air with its extreme coldness.
âHe found me.â Wang Teng was shocked. He immediately released his Emerald Glazed Flame without a second thought and shot back.
Fire Physique activated!
Flame patterns appeared on Wang Tengâs body. Then, he released his punch. Flames gathered into a green fist mark and hurled toward the ice-blue spear glow.
Boom!
The two forces collided. Force waves swept throughout the cave.
Wang Teng took the chance to dart far away. He looked at the lofty figure floating down from the roof with a frown.
âWang Teng!â Saiba glared at him.
