Chapter 804
...
A new batch of Specialized Blue Soldiers has emerged from their cocoon.
The news spread rapidly across Rainbow Island through the Divine-Given Seeds such as White Poplar, Spikemoss, and Azure.
Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, Spiked Cypress, Cypress, and Silver Cypress rushed back to the main nest to check things out.
Black Birch was organizing the feeding of the new ants.
After eating and resting well.
Dragon Cypress selected 10 strong ones and personally led them out of the nest to begin the testing.
They arrived together at the mid-mountain stream mouth.
——Watch and learn.
Dragon Cypress issued the command, activated the Water System Primordial Energy, and the surrounding moist air suddenly condensed, creating thousands of small, chilling Flying Ants swirling around the forest.
Dragon Cypress lightly waved a tentacle, pointing to a seemingly clever Specialized Blue Soldier, and gave an order: Try.
The Specialized Blue Soldier stepped forward, stunned for a few seconds, activated its Water System Ability, and the surrounding air compressed, forming around thirty Flying Ants of various sizes, from seven to eight centimeters up to a couple of dozen centimeters long, which attempted to flap their wings and fly, but collapsed into cold mist upon moving.
The Specialized Blue Soldier, in a panic, desperately activated Primordial Energy to control the cold mist, trying to re-form it into the shape of ants, but the white mist billowed and changed repeatedly, unable to take shape...
——Oh!
Dragon Cypress's eyes lit up.
Ink Orchid, Spiked Cypress, Cypress, Silver Cypress, and Black Birch were all delighted.
The spiritual power-focused trees began to discuss.
Evidently, the Specialized Blue Soldier inherited some of Dragon Cypress's Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm ability.
Dragon Cypress lightly waved a tentacle, giving the command: Stop!
The Specialized Blue Soldier halted its actions and turned back in line.
Dragon Cypress issued the command again: Watch and learn.
Activating the Water System Primordial Energy, about a hundred Flying Ants, each around 10 centimeters long, condensed, flapped their wings, and charged towards the Fey Oil Fruit trees across the river, dispersing into clusters of white cold mist mid-flight, enveloping a Fey Oil Fruit tree.
The Primordial Energy suddenly burst forth, the cold tightened, and the entire tree turned into an ice sculpture.
Spiked Cypress, quick on the uptake, raised a claw and launched pure vigor, causing the ice tree to crash and shatter.
Dragon Cypress swung its tentacle, pointing at the same Specialized Blue Soldier as before, giving the command: Try.
This clever-looking Specialized Blue Soldier stepped out of the line, activated Water System Primordial Energy, condensing seventy or eighty ten-centimeter-long Flying Ants, which flapped their wings and transformed into a large mass of palely cold mist, quickly sweeping across the river towards the opposite orchard, enveloping another Fey Oil Fruit tree.
The Primordial Energy burst once more.
The white mist contracted.
The fruit tree was covered in white frost, and under the blazing sun, white cold vapor rose.
Spiked Cypress raised a claw, sending out a burst of pure vigor, causing the frozen leaves to shower down, shattering, and the hardened brittle branches to snap and break.
Silver Cypress swayed its tentacle, cheering: "Great King, the Specialized Blue Soldier inherited your original version of 'Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm'!"
Ink Orchid commented: "The freezing power is decent! With thousands of ants, it can form a powerful frost mist attack."
Silver Cypress: "It even inherited some of the current version's Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm ability. The initial speed of an ant formation attack on targets is increased slightly."
"Great King! Let me command!"
Spiked Cypress eagerly volunteered, waving its tentacle, issuing orders, and ten Specialized Blue Soldiers moved in unison.
Azure sighed: "Could you not test abilities in my orchard~"
Dragon Cypress tapped its tentacle, halting Spiked Cypress's action and invited everyone to the beach to continue trying.
Tie Bush, noticing the commotion, rushed over...
Under Spiked Cypress's command, ten Specialized Blue Soldiers formed a line, activated their ability, and instantly about seven or eight hundred ten-centimeter-long Flying Ants took shape, flapping their wings forward, maintaining flight for only a second or two before collapsing into swirling mist, the frost mist spreading forward as a wave.
The width of the line spanned 50 meters.
The frost mist could advance over three hundred meters, beyond which the Specialized Blue Soldiers lost control over their Primordial Energy power.
These were newly emerged Specialized Blue Soldiers, unfamiliar with their abilities, showing potential for growth, and after some combat training, they could reach further distances.
On an actual battlefield, 300 meters is already quite far. Beyond this, it would be considered long-range attack.
The attack method is similar to what Dragon Cypress initially envisioned for Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm: creating frost mist to cover a certain area, and once the target is enveloped, withdraw the mist to launch a Frostfall strike.
Unexpected delight: At the beginning of the attack, the frost mist can maintain its Flying Ant form for a second or two.
With combat training and vigorous exercise, the Blue Soldiers' Flying Ant duration may extend, enhancing their ability to quickly initiate a target attack.
Based on actual testing, the Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm Divine Mark ability is more ideal than anticipated.
In combat, for direct confrontation, a number of Specialized Blue Soldiers can be deployed at the front using Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm.
The rear Specialized Blue Soldiers can launch long-range Explosive Jet strikes.
This is a rather effective tactical coordination.
Furthermore, in mountainous forest combat, they could create fog barriers to obscure vision and block incoming aerial attacks.
The Blue Soldiers have developed a new combat tactic with numerous applications, greatly boosting the Ant Kingdom's combat prowess once again.
"Adjust the daily training tasks."
Dragon Cypress reassigned tasks, saying: "Cypress, Black Birch, continue teaching the newly emerged Specialized Blue Soldiers character recognition, instruct basic mathematics, and train them to coordinate and activate the 'Explosive Jet' ability."
"Yes!"
Cypress and Black Birch agreed.
"Spiked Cypress, Silver Cypress, take charge of the land, sea, and forest maneuvers, battle formations, and coordinate the display of the 'Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm' ability."
"Alright!"
"Understood, Great King."
Spiked Cypress and Silver Cypress answered firmly.
"Tie Bush..."
Dragon Cypress: "Never mind, just assist Second King in cultivating the Orchid Grass."
Tie Bush: "Alright——"
Dragon Cypress contemplated and said: "Second King, I've used the Seaside Hibiscus Divine-Given Seed. I will first evolve to the second-age period Insect King..."
