68: Clearance
Professor Arnos frowned at the feedback from Mike.
F-zone, F-zone again.
Why is it always the area he is responsible for that has problems?
A domineering figure flashed through his mind.
Professor Arnos felt that this time it must also be the Tiger King's masterpiece.
This scourge really doesn't make him worry!
After cursing, Professor Arnos contacted Professor Si Te De, the person in charge of Zone C.
Since the Tiger King went to Zone C, it would be simpler for Professor Si Te De to cooperate with the handling.
Professor Arnos felt a little disgusted when he thought of Professor Si Te De's grim face.
But there was nothing he could do, he had to contact the other party.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, the incredibly annoying voice from the other side came through:
"Arnos, you're a rare guest, to actually call me."
"Could it be that you've realized that combat power is the foundation?"
"Are you preparing to give up your pitiful black puppy and research the Queen with me?"
"Then I have to say, you are truly wise."
"You've made the most correct choice."
Professor Si Te De's words made Professor Arnos's face turn ashen with anger.
Combat power?
What use could combat power be?
No matter how powerful the body, facing the powerful thermal weapons manufactured by humans, there is only one path: melting away.
On the contrary, it is Black Fiend's terrifying Self-healing Ability, the miraculous Talent that allows cells to store more energy.
That is the guide that can lead humanity onto the path of evolution.
Having to ask for help, Professor Arnos didn't intend to waste words and went straight to the point:
"S-class research subject Tiger King has escaped control and run to the Queen's territory."
"I hope you can cooperate with me to recapture the Tiger King."
Professor Si Te De said with some surprise: "Tiger King?"
"That new toy you got from the Beast Arena?"
"He actually has the courage to step into the Queen's territory, which is commendable courage."
"It seems I do need to be faster."
"If I'm a few seconds slower, your pitiful new toy might not even have bone fragments left."
Having said this, Professor Si Te De directly hung up the phone.
Although he and Professor Arnos didn't get along, he didn't dare to joke about the Research Institute's S-class research subjects.
Of course, if the Tiger King was truly too weak and died before he could rescue him, then he couldn't be blamed.
Due to the special nature of the Hellfire Ants, Zone C basically had no surveillance cameras.
And there were permanent aerial units monitoring Zone C from space.
These terrifying mutated ants just didn't have the ability to fly.
Otherwise, it would be an extremely terrifying disaster.
Under Professor Si Te De's command, the air force began to move out.
They were preparing to meet Lin Tianwei, this ignorant Siberian Tiger.
However, they didn't know that what they should really be worried about was how to rescue the Queen hidden deep in the lair.

On the sand.
The battle between Lin Tianwei and the Hellfire Ants was also nearing its end.
Under the siege of red ants everywhere, there was no place for him to stand on the entire sandy ground.
Many a little makes a mickle!
Although Lin Tianwei's Poison Resistance was very high, facing the continuous ant Poison, he was starting to struggle.
Under the erosion of the ant Poison, it felt as if a flame was burning in his body.
But he couldn't extinguish it no matter what.
The frenzied Hellfire Ants continuously swarmed onto Lin Tianwei's body.
Like a blood-red Carapace, they were about to cover Lin Tianwei.
Once they broke through to his weak points,
Lin Tianwei would die without a burial place.
However, this was also the opportunity Lin Tianwei had been waiting for.
His eyes narrowed, and a powerful Tigers Might emanated from his body, directly stunning the nearby Hellfire Ants.
Their movements became noticeably sluggish.
This was not enough!
He opened his maw, and a soul-stirring roar of a tiger erupted.
The powerful Infrasonic Wave, like an invisible tide, spread out with Lin Tianwei as the center.
What followed was an Ultrasonic Wave of equally impressive power.
Under the successive bombardments of the tiger's roar and the Ultrasonic Wave, the Hellfire Ants around Lin Tianwei immediately suffered.
Although they had thick Carapaces, their internal organs were incredibly fragile, and they had almost no brains.
Facing Lin Tianwei's attacks that could easily penetrate their Carapaces, they simply couldn't resist.
They instantly lost consciousness.
What they lost next was their incredibly tenacious vitality.
Since he dared to come to Zone C, how could Lin Tianwei not be prepared?
Facing numerous enemies with weak individual strength,
this powerful group attack was the best way to deal with them.
The Tiger's Roar Talent, upgraded to elementary, was the preparation Lin Tianwei had made for this.
Combined with the Ultrasonic Wave for successive bombardments, its power would be incredibly terrifying.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction successful, host has gained Talent: Synergistic Cooperation (Normal)."
"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."
"Synergistic Cooperation (Normal): Normal-level Talent. When fighting with peers, combat power gains a certain boost."
..."Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction failed, host has gained four Talent fragments."
..."Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target."
"Ding, Talent extraction successful, host has gained Talent: Ant Poison (Elementary)."
"Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent."
"Ant Poison (Elementary): Elementary Talent. Secretes ant Poison to kill enemies."
As the Hellfire Ants continuously died, the system prompts in front of Lin Tianwei almost flooded his screen.
However, most of them were extraction failures, providing information about gaining Talent fragments.
Only a small number were successful extractions, providing information about gaining Talents.
After all, the individual strength of the Hellfire Ants was not strong to begin with.
It was reasonable that no powerful Talents were extracted.
Perhaps because Lin Tianwei himself already possessed a high level of Strength Enhancement,
these Hellfire Ants did not drop the signature Talent of Strength Enhancement for Lin Tianwei.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tianwei chose to use the Ant Poison Talent.
Synergistic Cooperation seemed good.
But as a unique Siberian Tiger,
he was destined to be just one tiger.
Fighting alongside peers?
Such a possibility was extremely slim.
"Ding, host has similar Talents detected. Do you wish to perform Talent fusion?"
"After confirming fusion, Talent: Ant Poison will fuse with Talent: Poison Fang and Talent: Poison Claw to produce a new Talent."
Such a good thing?
Lin Tianwei chose to fuse without hesitation.
The fused Talent would only be more powerful.
"Ding, congratulations to the host on successful Talent fusion, gaining new Talent: Poison (Elementary)."
"Poison (Elementary): Elementary Talent. Gains the ability to secrete mixed toxins and can attach toxins to any part of the body to attack enemies."
Sure enough, the fused Talent was much more powerful.
Not only was the composition of the toxin more complex, but it could also be attached to any part of the body.
In other words, even Lin Tianwei's bludgeon could launch a Poisonous assault on enemies.
Just as Lin Tianwei was about to leave, he keenly sensed a gaze from the air.
He looked up into the sky and indeed saw a hovering helicopter.
Lin Tianwei's eyes narrowed.
Humans had finally noticed his disappearance.
And were about to take countermeasures.
He couldn't give them a chance to catch him.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei didn't hesitate and immediately used his burrowing Talent.
He had made full preparations for possible situations.
Although his body was massive, the sand was loose.
In no time, he completely submerged into the sand, disappearing from human sight.
This was also the reason why Lin Tianwei had to lure and clear out the nearby Hellfire Ants.
With them ambushing him underground,
even with the burrowing Talent, he would be exposed due to the commotion caused by the Hellfire Ants.
As his body gradually disappeared into the sand, Lin Tianwei also simultaneously activated his Stealth Talent.
He didn't expect such a simple trick to fool humans.
Hiding underground was merely to allow the Stealth Talent to perform more perfectly.
As Lin Tianwei's aura and body gradually disappeared,
the Hellfire Ants, which were extremely alert a moment ago, completely lost their perception of Lin Tianwei.
They became headless flies.
After scurrying around for a while, they returned to their state before Lin Tianwei arrived.
They continued to patrol their territory.
They no longer had the possibility of exposing Lin Tianwei.
Seeing this, Lin Tianwei breathed a sigh of relief.
The Stealth Talent was indeed effective.
Next, he only needed to complete one more thing, and these humans would no longer be able to find him.
