Chapter 37
Seeing this, Big Pineapple felt it made a lot of sense and had the Asura Clan members get to work.
Ant eggs needed warmth and moisture to hatch. Under Big Pineapple's fire and dousing, tiny cracks appeared in the shell.
At the sight, Big Pineapple, the Asura Clan members, and even the livestream viewers all grew expectant.
This was a monster egg, a genuine monster egg!
This was the first time anyone on Earth had seen someone livestream cooking a monster egg. Who wouldn't be curious?
Big Pineapple was delighted too. Although this wasn't an Ultraman egg, finding a monster egg and showing off in front of the entire world still felt damn good.
The Asura Clan members, meanwhile, admired their sage beyond measure. As expected of their sage, he could think of anything. Their sage was simply too clever!
Big Pineapple sat in his personal chair with one arm around Yu Ji and began shooting the breeze with the livestream viewers.
"Guys, anyone want some monster egg? Just come over, and I'll feed you all you can eat. You don't even need to send me fifty on WeChat. I'll personally appoint you a great general. How about it?"
[Brother Pineapple is mighty! Tell me how to get there. I'm leaving right now!]
[Is the round trip covered? If so, I'm heading out immediately.]
[Say, Brother Pineapple, what did you find in those ruins? Just this egg?]
[Brother Pineapple, Brother Pineapple, could you, could you tell us about your superpower?]
[Yeah, Brother Pineapple, tell us about that superpower of yours. Tell me what flying feels like.]
[Flying through thin air! Even when I fly in my dreams, I still fall to the ground, but you've already pulled it off, Brother Pineapple. That's freaking awesome!]
[I hereby declare Brother Pineapple the first human who can fly through thin air. No objections accepted!]
Seeing that most of the livestream viewers wanted to know about his ability, Big Pineapple looked a little embarrassed.
But then he thought that they would probably figure it out when he used his superpower in the future anyway.
Besides, he would need their help to grow stronger or eliminate this side effect, so he said, "Honestly, I don't really know how to describe my ability."
[Huh? What do you mean, you don't know how to describe it?]
[Are you not allowed to talk about it?]
[Why?]
Watching the barrage of comments start up again, Big Pineapple immediately called for a stop. "Stop spamming. Let me finish.
"I don't know how to describe it because, even now, I still don't know whether this ability of mine counts as one ability or two."
[Whoa, two abilities! I'm so jealous!]
[Shut up and listen to Brother Pineapple. Keep spamming and the police uncles might come knocking on your door!]
The moment that comment appeared, the screen cleared. Big Pineapple nodded in satisfaction, then explained his ability.
While everyone here was still helping analyze the strengths and weaknesses of his ability, another ladleful of water poured down over there, and the already-cracked giant egg gave a tremendous crack.
Everyone turned toward the sound. A behemoth with a slightly pale body, nearly two hundred meters long when fully stretched out, crawled out of the shell!
Instantly, everyone who had been eagerly thinking about eating the monster egg or watching them eat it was stunned.
[That fucking thing still isn't dead!!!]
[They... they hatched the egg!!!]
[Holy fuck, what the hell is that?!]
[It looks a little familiar. Looks like an ant!]
[Have you ever seen an ant that big?!]
Big Pineapple froze too, but a moment later, he immediately ordered the Asura Clan members to charge in with their weapons and kill it.
It was just a monster. They had killed mosquitoes even bigger than this, let alone a little thing that had only just crawled out of an egg.
He believed that with the weapons he had invented through plagiarism, killing something like this wouldn't be difficult.
He was even in the mood to show off the Asura Clan members' heroic bearing in battle.
This time, however, he was wrong. This monster was different from the mosquitoes. Although it had only just hatched from its shell, it had a layer of hard armor.
With the Asura Clan members' strength, they couldn't even break through its defenses.
Big Pineapple frowned. He wanted to wait a little longer. If these people really couldn't do anything about this big fellow, he would have to take action himself.
Three thousand Asura Clan members charged forward, striking the giant ant with all kinds of weapons and sending tiny sparks flying.
Big Pineapple's frown deepened at the sight. The Asura Clan members really did seem unable to do anything about this creature.
But he really didn't want to use his superpower!
Just as he was thinking this, the monster violently flung aside the Asura Clan members around it, spread the transparent wings on its back, and flew straight off!
Seeing it fly away, Big Pineapple finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he hadn't needed to act himself.
Besides, their people hadn't suffered any real injuries. They had only wasted a little time. It didn't seem like a big problem.
But just then, a comment flashed before his eyes.
[Hurry and chase it down! Kill it! I observed it carefully just now. Although its shape and size are a little different, I'm certain this is an ant, and a flying ant at that. Hurry and catch up to it and kill it!]
[Ants can fly?]
[A flying ant? What's a flying ant?]
[I know. We get loads of these where I live when spring turns to summer. They fill the sky. Just put out a light and a basin of water, and the next day you'll have a whole basin full of ant wings.]
[That doesn't sound like anything to be scared of, does it?]
[Are you fucking ignoring how big that thing is?!]
[It's not even as big as the mosquitoes. Brother Pineapple just didn't act. If he did, he could insta-kill it.]
[Exactly. Besides, there's only one. What's there to fear?]
[I have a PhD in biology. Let me explain. The scary thing about flying ants isn't that they can fly, but that they're queens. Their wings can only support a single flight. Once they find somewhere safe, they land and bury themselves in the soil for twenty years. Twenty years later, an ant colony will emerge.]
[It's just an ant colony... an ant colony! With ants this big!]
[Holy shit, Brother Pineapple, hurry and chase it! If you don't kill it, you're probably done for!]
Big Pineapple had only just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these comments. An image of ants blanketing the sky and earth immediately surfaced in his mind-and they were giant ants that could easily reach over a hundred meters.
Just thinking about it made his scalp prickle!
He had previously thought moving into the fortress would let them fend off the mosquitoes, but what if ants were added to the mix now?
Without the slightest hesitation, Big Pineapple shouted, activated his telekinesis, and flew out. He had to kill it today!
He could ignore the world-ending calamity a thousand years from now, but he had to deal with the matter right in front of him!
The ant wasn't fast, and its body was enormous. It even flew somewhat crookedly, because Big Pineapple had forced it out using this method.
Big Pineapple accelerated and flew straight to its side. No longer caring about showing off, he immediately activated that move, Feel Pain!
The giant flying ant fell rigidly to the ground with a tremendous boom.
Just as Big Pineapple was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw terrifying clouds of thick smoke billow from the flying ant's entire body. The next moment, raging flames shot into the sky!
[Ding, supernatural life detected in the Microcosm!] [Ding, supernatural life detected in the Microcosm!]
