Moreover, any moment there's a formidable Ant King who comprehends the Sea Beast Devouring Ability leading the elite Ant Army to follow and protect.

For now, there's no opportunity to make a move.

Dark Maple Dragonfly King: "From years of observation, the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Kingdom has placed all hopes on the Kirin Beast Ant King, and won't easily arrange for it to participate in the battle. I estimate we need to wait until the Kirin Beast grows to a thousand meters, reaching the invincible realm once achieved by the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King, before they will take action."

White Crystal Butterfly King: "Currently, according to our observations, the Kirin Beast is only just over 600 meters in length."

Bee King Sedge: "It can't be progressing so slowly; it must be suppressing and concealing."

Dragon Cypress couldn't help but question: "Every move of Blue Island is under the constant watch of the Scorching Ability, impossible to succeed in a surprise attack like the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King did back then. What's the need to hide strength?"

Bee King Sedge: "Blue Island must be brewing a major, comprehensive offensive, probably not wanting us to calculate the exact time."

Dragon Cypress, Bloodvine Bee King, Azure Mica Ant King, Mountain Pepper Ant King all shook their tentacles, without refuting.

Knowing, or not knowing, what's the difference? A large-scale force outbreak needs organizing an army, frequently going to sea, traveling far to hunt, it's impossible to hide from scouting.

Dark Maple Dragonfly King asked: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, do you have confidence dealing with a peak state thousand-meter Kirin Beast?"

Dragon Cypress: "I can deal with it, but I don't have 100% certainty. I still have substantial room for improvement, and my improvement is definitely faster than it."

Azure Mica Ant King said gravely: "The scariest thing about the Kirin Beast Ant King is its willpower. For fifty years, no matter if faced with violent storms or scorching blizzards, its ability training has never been interrupted for a single day."

Dragon Cypress: "I also train diligently day in and day out, ever since before my ascension to Insect King, I have been pondering on how to deal with the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King."

"... That's good!"

Azure Mica Ant King clearly didn't quite believe Dragon Cypress could independently handle the Kirin Beast Ant King, lowered its tentacles, murmuring:

"For some reason, towards this Kirin Beast Ant King, I always have a sense of unease, a primordial fright stemming from the depths of the soul, regardless of everything I can't calm it."

Bloodvine Bee King said indifferently: "Cunning Whisker Ants, true to their name, full of scheming plots, they also measure other insects with the same mentality, seeing everyone as calculating against them, naturally unsettling."

Azure Mica Ant King suddenly raised its head, its tentacles lifted.

Bee King Sedge hurriedly stood up, said: "Bloodvine Bee King, that's where you're wrong, Azure Mica Ant King is earnestly analyzing the situation. Don't attack without reason."

Bloodvine Bee King: "What did you analyze?"

Bee King Sedge: "I followed the Two Fruit Bee Queen to battle when I was two hundred years old, fought against Blue Island for over two hundred years. I agree with Azure Mica Ant King's view, that Kirin Beast Ant King must be brewing some sort of scheme, just that we haven't discerned it yet."

White Crystal Butterfly King also said: "I've also been participating in battles for over a hundred years, endlessly encountering the cunning strategies of the Stone Hunt Blue Ant clan, always changing, likely planning something again, must be cautious!"

In essence, it's unclear what the Kirin Beast Ant King intends.

Dragon Cypress listened silently, forming a judgment in his mind: the five leaders of Wave Tree Bay have limited capability, more critical is their lack of unity internally.

However,

Dragon Cypress himself couldn't figure out what tricks Blue Island could play under the Scorching Ability's surveillance.

After discussing for a while,

The four leaders dispersed, Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid also bid farewell to the Dark Maple Dragonfly King, returning to Shizhi Mountain.

...

Cypress and Silver Cypress settled the accompanying thirty thousand Specialized Blue Soldiers.

Dragon Cypress used Twilight Ability to float them in the high skies, allowing them to use Scorching Ability to survey and become familiar with the defensive arrangements on Yu'e Island.

Useful for constructing similar defenses on Rainbow Island later.

In battle with the Stone Hunt Blue Ant, pyramid-shaped stations can effectively resist the tsunami impact.

Meanwhile, facing the island invasion by the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army, whether in long-range attacks or close combat, occupying highlands ensures an advantageous position.

...

Wave Tree Bay houses many Ant Clan and Bee Clan from the northern tropical regions.

The Stone Hunt Blue Ant typically chooses to initiate war during the coldest winter season, maximizing climatic advantage.

More than a month remains before waiting.

Every day idle, large insect groups bask in the sun on the cliff-top plaza.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid quickly adapted to the environment, made acquaintances with the stationed Insect Clan warriors, gathering for casual chats, though not entirely idle talk, they heard many interesting stories and secretive news from the various kingdoms of Wanglan Continent.

Shizhi Mountain, 200 kilometers north, is a fortress called Shark Bay.

Shizhi Mountain, approximately 150 kilometers south, is a fortress named Thousand Mile Mountain.

Both are garrisoned by the Fifth Group Army.

Clearwing Butterfly Warrior Black Olive led Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid for a visit.

Ink Orchid was the happiest, meeting various strange and peculiar insects.
