The Eccentric Entomologist is Now a Queen's Consort

Chapter 102 Infiltrating The Syndicate (2) Capturing Monsters

Mikhailis watched through Rodion's holographic display, a look of fascination glimmering in his eyes. The display hovered above his glasses, showing the entire operation from different perspectives, switching between them in perfect sequence.

The gigantic slime, shifting and rippling like a massive jelly, followed the worker ants without resistance, its gelatinous body conforming to the uneven terrain of the tunnel. The air was thick with the sound of squelching as the slime maneuvered through the narrow path, its body leaving faint trails of glistening ooze behind.

Mikhailis smirked.

"Glad to see it's cooperating. Maybe we should give it a treat after this. A slime-sized cookie or something."

The tunnel opened into a large, underground chamber—the destination the worker ants had meticulously prepared. The chamber was designed specifically to nurture the slime, ensuring its health while keeping its growth controlled.

It was lined with rich nutrients embedded into the earth, while small channels filled with water ran along the chamber floor, creating a supportive environment for the creature's regenerative capabilities. The worker ants guided the slime into the center of the chamber, surrounding it as they clicked amongst themselves, their antennae twitching with purpose.

Mikhailis leaned closer to the holographic display, watching intently as the worker ants began their next phase—feeding the slime. The ants brought out a combination of organic waste, crushed minerals, and magical herbs—all carefully gathered from the surrounding areas—and began pushing them towards the giant slime.

The slime's body rippled, absorbing the offerings in a slow, almost mesmerizing manner.

They really do look like a living cleaning crew.

The feeding continued, with the slime gradually growing larger, its body pulsing with a faint luminescence as it absorbed the nutrients. Mikhailis's eyes widened slightly, his interest piqued by the sight. He had seen many strange things since arriving in this world, but a creature of this size, being nurtured underground by a team of ants? This was a first even for him.

Mikhailis nodded, his eyes still fixed on the holographic display.

"Make sure it doesn't get any funny ideas about trying to escape, alright? I don't need a surprise slime rebellion down here."

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Rodion always had everything covered.

Watching the worker ants as they worked tirelessly, Mikhailis found himself admiring the efficiency of the colony. Their every movement was calculated, every task executed without hesitation. The ants surrounded the slime, their antennae brushing against its body as if analyzing its condition.

"It's pretty incredible, isn't it? How they just...know what to do," Mikhailis mused aloud, mostly to himself.

Mikhailis smirked, shaking his head.

The frog chimera ant moved in again, its sticky tongue shooting out to latch onto the serpent's head. The serpent let out a screech, its body writhing as it tried to free itself, but the frog chimera ant held firm, using its weight to pin the serpent down. The Scurabons took advantage of the opportunity, swarming the serpent's body and using enchanted vines to bind its movements.

Mikhailis grinned, his heart pounding in excitement as he watched the scene unfold.

It was like something out of an anime—a coordinated battle between strange, magical creatures. And he was the one pulling the strings.

"That's it, guys. Keep at it," Mikhailis murmured, his eyes glued to the holographic display. The serpent's thrashing grew weaker, its body slowly succumbing to the combined efforts of the frog chimera ant and the Scurabons. The vines tightened around it, binding its movements until it could no longer fight back.

The frog chimera ant let out a final, triumphant croak, its sticky skin pressing against the serpent's body, ensuring it remained restrained. The Scurabons moved quickly, securing the bindings with more vines, their small, nimble hands working with practiced precision.

Mikhailis let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"Nicely done. I knew you guys could handle it."

Mikhailis nodded, his eyes still fixed on the serpent as the worker ants moved in to assist with its transportation.

"Make sure it's properly contained. I don't want it pulling any tricks on us."

He watched as the serpent was carried away, its body bound tightly by the enchanted vines. The frog chimera ant and the Scurabons moved alongside it, ensuring there were no mishaps. Mikhailis couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

They had done it. They had captured two incredibly powerful creatures, and no one had any idea.

"She could do that!?" Mikhailis's eyes widened, a slow grin spreading across his face.

"Now that's an idea. Alright, Rodion, let's make it happen. I think our Queen is about to get very excited."

Mikhailis leaned back, his mind racing with possibilities. The serpent's hypnotic powers, combined with the Queen's natural abilities—it could be a game-changer. He couldn't wait to see what kind of creature would emerge from that egg.

This world was full of surprises, and he intended to make the most of every single one of them.
