In the deep pit blasted open by the creature's cannon fire, a black queen bug, about five meters long, lay greedily absorbing energy from the crystal.
A large number of Bone-Eating Fungal Ants split off from its body and kept dividing again and again into smaller Bone-Eating Fungal Ants.
The Bone-Eating Fungal Ants used their flesh and blood to shield the queen bug from the cannon damage.
In addition, a stronger defensive barrier surrounded the queen bug's body, completely absorbing the residual shockwaves from the Licker swarm's bio-cannon attacks.
"So that's how it was."
Fang Heng observed the Seed of Ouroboros queen bug and nodded to himself.
