Chapter 529: Acknowledging Ant as Father

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That day was a sunny day, clear and cloudless. Even in the Dragon Death valley, the accumulated smoke lessened, and the sun rays shone on the valley unexpectedly.
An adult male Dragon Ant laid lazily on the lawn at the house’s entrance. It was so comfortable basking in the sun. Oh, what a beautiful day!
The adult male Dragon Ant looked up into the sky, gazing at the green leaves above it. The sunshine illuminated the green silhouettes above its head with a gentle breeze blowing. The weather that day was too pleasant to go hunting.
There was still prey it had already hunted left at home from the other day, so it would be all right to take a day off.
Shhh… A rustle of friction was heard as if something was approaching.
The Dragon Ant didn’t care about it. Since it had been promoted to the Overlord tier, it had never worried about its natural enemies.
In this valley, all the monsters above the Overlord tier had been taken away, leaving behind, at most, the Overlord tier, and the Dragon Ants were the most powerful of all the monsters in the valley.
Who would dare to provoke it? It yawned lazily, slanting its eyes to cast a glance.
Four young little dragon ants moved closer and closer together in unison. The adult Dragon Ant was stunned.
What was going on?
For a moment, the Dragon Ant didn’t think much about it. Then the four little Dragon Ants ran up to him, and their throats gave out choked sobbing sounds. The voice was low and mellow, causing those who heard it deep grief.
Two little Dragon Ants among the others came together to rub their heads against the back of its feet. It was a sign of expressing goodwill, especially when Dragon Ants’ children treated their parents that way.
“Oh boys, you’ve mistaken me for your father… I’m not your father.” The adult male Dragon Ant laughed while shaking its head. They were four naughty yet lovely little boys. The two little ones in my house were also so lovely when they were young.
But now that they had grown up and become more independent, it was almost time to separate and live apart. The adult male Dragon Ant was filled with emotions. At the same time, it was thinking that after the separation of the two grown-ups, it could suggest the old mother ant at home make a new nest of babies.
The four cute little Dragon Ant heard the adult male Dragon Ant telling them that it wasn’t their father, causing them to fuss around at that instant and make more noise.
The adult male Dragon Ant’s expression changed tremendously. If this was overheard by his other half at home…
“Please don’t address me like that. I’m not your father.”
The adult female Dragon Ant heard the noise outside, so it crawled out of the cave. It saw the male dragon ant shout at the little Dragon Ants, “Don’t call me father, I’m not your father!”
“You don’t want us anymore, Dad.”
“Mom asked us to come to you before she left.”
“Dad, we’re very obedient. Please don’t chase us away.”
The adult male Dragon Ant’s compound eye saw the female dragon ant walking out, its body turning stiff. “You have to listen to my explanation…”
The four little dragon ants turned their heads to face the female Dragon Ant. Then, they ran toward her at once, hugging her leg and crying piteously, “Mom, Mom.”
The adult female Dragon Ant hesitated for a moment, then revealed a trace of tenderness in its eyes. When dealing with cute babies, a mother would always have a strong surge of patience and gentleness.
Of course, the premise was that the babies were of the same race. If it was a baby of another race, it would depend on whether it was hungry or not.
“Children, where are your parents?” The adult female Dragon Ant certainly didn’t believe that her male counterpart could control the kids outside. After all, it still had this tinge of confidence in it.
Upon seeing the reaction of the two adult Dragon Ants, they thought of the plan B their owner gave them.
“We don’t have parents,” Third Baby cried aloud while acting dumb and confused.
“They abandoned us,” Fourth Baby murmured.
Fifth Baby cried bitterly, hugging Baldie with desperate sadness.
The male Dragon Ant and female Dragon Ant snuck a glance at each other. The eyes of the female ant showed a sense of yearning. Now, there were only two adulting offspring in the nest, and there were no such young dragon ants in the nest.
They didn’t mind adopting these Dragon Ant, but they were afraid that these four little Dragon Ants might still have had parents, and they snuck out without their parents’ permission.
Children could be disobedient, but adults couldn’t be ignorant. It would be extremely troublesome when their parents came to look for them. After all, they were the children of other families.
“Don’t you have parents?” The female ant felt the urge.
“No,” Third Baby answered confidently.
Gao Peng, who was hiding in the distance, raised his thumb secretly.
The female Dragon Ant pondered for a long time and finally decided to adopt the four brothers.
After seeing the four brothers be adopted, Gao Peng felt relieved, as though he had released a heavy burden. Although the adult Dragon Ants had decided to adopt his four Dragon Ants on their own, after all, it was a debt of gratitude. Therefore, he would make sure to repay these two adults when the time came.
As Gao Peng left the Dragon Death Valley, he released all his familiars. Gao Peng’s dozen of familiars didn’t look conspicuous at all in the open land of the southern region.
There was also a problem when it came to an increasing number of familiars. Gao Peng sighed, as he didn’t know who to promote first.
Moving in the direction of their starting point, Gao Peng walked for approximately six miles to the north, surrounded by vast plains. Stripey sent a reminder to Gao Peng through the Blood Contract. “There are monsters in the soil on the right, Master.”
Gao Peng nodded quietly. He only found out that all his familiars were big eaters after he was out. One’s appetite was bigger than the next.
Fortunately, Stripey, with the greatest body size, could overcome its hunger problem by drawing from the earth’s deep veins.
The earth veins contained very rich soil elements. Gao Peng had seen the veins being cut open before, like blood vessels growing in the soil, but unlike other blood vessels, the veins had no blood vessel walls, only a rough outline. The rich yellowish mist almost condensed into a liquid that wound across the whole land.
There were many soil elements in the soil, and these soil elements occupied all corners of the earth. The earth veins were formed naturally, and the earth elements would converge into rivers. As long as they weren’t destroyed, the earth veins would become deeper and deeper over the years.
The areas with rich veins would have an increasing number of them. The increase in the number of veins would naturally attract the soil elements existing in nature, which was considered a good cycle.
Stripey’s food was these veins, or rather, the rich soil elements in these veins.
With the help of the earth, Stripey could clearly perceive all the existing elements hidden in the soil around him, unless the other party’s soil element attainment was higher than Stripey, which was able to hide its existence.
One of Stripey’s legs stepped on the soil.
Bang! The land exploded like a firework. A Fire-Tail Mink Toad rolled out of the fireworks.
This was a strange creature like a toad with a fox’s tail behind its butt. It had two attributes simultaneously, making it Fire-type and Soil-type.
The Fire-Tail Mink Toad that appeared during the earthquake was startled. How could I be found? Did I not hide in the soil?
In shock, the Fire-Tail Mink Toad blew up an unearthed yellow flame on its outer body and wrapped itself inside it.
“Flamy, swallow the fire,” Gao Peng ordered Flamy as he looked at the Fire-Tail Mink Toad’s Level 4 ability of the earth’s flame.
Flamy took a breath and absorbed the yellowish flame into its mouth.The flame went into Flamy’s stomach, and after only one turn, Flamy felt as if it had just eaten two tubs of ice cream, feeling cold in its heart.
