After killing several king ants in succession, they did not encounter any demonized ants for a long time.
This is obviously wrong. The central area is the exit of the underground world. All the demonized ants in the entire Trident River area should come out from here. It is impossible not to touch any one.
The ant colony seems to have undergone some strange changes.
Just when Rhodes sensed something was wrong and wanted to retreat, he suddenly encountered a large group of demonized ants.
In the vision of the soul's eye, Rhodes clearly saw that there were several powerful beings in the ant colony, rushing towards them at a speed that exceeded the ant colony.
This is the king ant!
He realized in an instant that if there were multiple king ants, it would be impossible for them to kill them as the power of the psychic shock continued to increase.
In other words, they have no chance of winning.
"Retreat quickly!"
Rhodes and Lannister said almost at the same time.
Celie was surprised and said: "Why? Aren't the demonized ants afraid of being killed by us? It's time to pursue victory!"
Lannister glanced at Rhodes in surprise and said quickly: "The information brought by the wind told me that a group of powerful enemies are approaching us quickly, including at least four...five king ants."
Celie was shocked. Lannister's wind characteristics can enhance his perception. He said that if there are five king ants, there will definitely be five.
With the strength of this team, it is impossible for them to deal with more than two king ants.
"Which direction?"
"East... no, southeast, no, no, west... no, they are surrounding us!"
Lannister's words made everyone nervous.
Only Rhode remained calm.
"Annabelle, take them and run northwest. No matter what happens, don't look back."
For the first time, Lannister's tone became anxious: "No! There are so many ant colonies in the northwest..."
"There is only one king ant."
"Not even one! Annabelle is very fast, but will be knocked down by psychic shock!"
"I'll lead it away from the other direction."
There is no doubt that this suicidal suggestion was strongly opposed by everyone.
But Rhodes calmed them down with just one sentence.
"I have a special ability to escape, Mavis, Annabeth, you know."
Annabelle had already turned into a human horse, pawing the ground leisurely with her front hooves, and said with a smile: "Yes, you don't have to worry, Rhodes has a space teleportation ability. When he opened up Fanxing Town, he always rushed into the monsters and blew himself up, right?
,Amei?"
Mavis nodded slightly.
Celie was shocked: "Rhodes still has the ability to teleport?"
"Yes, I remember that he could open a portal and find unreasonable folds in space. He discovered many of the mines in Fanxing Town."
Lannister looked Rhode up and down with a new look.
"Isn't this your black rice bucket again?"
"No!"
Annabeth rushed to say.
"I remember it was called a white slurry lake, or thick liquid or something."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in the team silently moved away from Rhodes. Only Celie seemed to want to come up and ask for clarification.
Rhodes said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Leave quickly!"
Everyone reluctantly jumped on the centaur. Because there were too many people, Rhodes made a trailer with wooden puppets and hung it behind Annabeth. The low-status Lannister could only stand on the trailer.
Annabeth scratched the ground dissatisfied and muttered: "Why do I feel more and more like a horse?"
"Stop complaining and let's go! Drive!"
With a snap, Rhodes slapped the horse on the butt.
Annabeth neighed, her horses hoofed together, and she flew away like lightning, disappearing behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Rhodes leaped to the six o'clock direction and hit the king ant in the distance with a fast shuttle.
With a wave of his backhand, he fired several more star shuttles, hitting all the king ants over.
In the eyes of the soul, Annabeth had already rushed into the ant colony. Ordinary demonized ants could not stop the four of them at all. She took the trailer and rushed away like riding the wind and waves.
When I turned my head again, six powerful king ants had already rushed in front of me.
Rhodes smiled slightly and stepped forward.
Annabeth didn't lie to them, but the "white pulp lake" she called was [Spirit Boat].
[Spirit Boat] can only be opened once a month, and it has only been more than 40 days since the last time it was opened.
This orbit of the moon is quite long, and before it is completed, the [Spirit Boat] has not recovered.
You can only use [Stone of Resurrection].
"That's okay, I just saved a tear of the goddess. Alas, I should have cherished it more before."
Rhodes unleashed all his psychic powers, wanting to test his limits in the [Herald of Destruction] state, but unfortunately, the pure enhancement of psychic powers did not have much effect.
The six king ants easily tore through his star shield and broke his star sword. The greatly enhanced psychic defense did not last long, and he was quickly overwhelmed by the surging ants. p>
Rhode's vision went dark, and for the first time he experienced the feeling of being killed by a monster head-on.
——
When he woke up again, he had returned to Lighthouse No. 20 and was in his room.
Rhodes stretched out his hands and looked at himself intact.
No matter how many times he felt it was amazing.
A moment later, Rhodes, who had "committed suicide" many times, skillfully retrieved his clothes from the dream, walked out of the room, and found that Lannister and others had not returned yet.
The lighthouse was empty, except for injured soldiers and support staff, there were not many people.
Most personnel are fighting outside, including commanders He-Man and Tyrion.
When several logistics staff saw Rhodes, they stood up and saluted him in surprise.
Rhodes waved his hand, indicating that they should continue working.
Currently in Lighthouse No. 20, Rhodes' prestige is extremely high, and everyone regards this young hero as their savior.
Any orders given by him are obeyed unconditionally, even easier than the commander's words.
The logistics staff immediately lowered their heads and continued working. They have many types of work, such as preparing wound medicine, making bandages, repairing the tower body, cooking soup, etc.
Rhodes turned around and returned to the room, taking this time to prepare in the dreamland.
There is a light mist in the dream, but there is still no change.
Compared with the original, only the towering obelisk shows its difference.
The book is still lying in front of the light platform, the white mist on his body blends with the dim light of the light platform, and the two gray light bands floating from the soul altar and obelisk are submerged in it.
Rhodes glanced at it and was distressed to find that there were more than one million soulless souls missing, and there were only a dozen powerful souls left.
"After using it so much...haven't you fixed it yet?"
Two words appeared impatiently on the back of the Book of Knowledge: "Don't interfere with me."
Okay.
The busy book of knowledge is always so irritating.
Rhodes did not disturb it anymore and came to the stone platform of the hut. He spent 10 points of divinity, 1 resurrection stone and corresponding materials to make a resurrection stone, and set the rebirth location in the room. p>
The Stone of Resurrection is his basic guarantee.
With it, he dared to do many things boldly.
Later, Rhodes added some regular dream creations, but rare creations such as [Kallus Heavy Cannon], [Herald of Destruction] and [Tears of the Goddess] could not be replenished.
Material scarcity is a big problem.
He took inventory of the storage box again, and there were some special creations like [Immortal Spirit], [Guardian of Darkness], and [Twisted Scale], all of which were his trump cards.
Rhodes felt a little more at ease and took another look at the inventory and souls in the obelisk.
Human nature has exploded, and the numbers are so long that they are indistinguishable.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has become humanly free.
Although there is not much spirituality, there are many souls stored in the soul altar.
Sacrifice a powerful soul, ranging from hundreds to thousands, there will be no shortage.
Divinity dropped from 79 to 69.
This gave Rhodes a sense of crisis. He didn't know when the next time the stars would shine would come, and how much divinity he would be able to gain.
There are still more than 20 million soulless souls. I thought it was quite a lot before, but now it seems that it is not enough.
A great soul became what he lacked most.
In addition, he needs more sources.
Rhodes sighed slightly, feeling like his two heads were bigger than the other.
Just as he was about to leave the dreamland, the Book of Knowledge suddenly called him.
"Master, I also need some very powerful souls to repair the Light Tower."
Rhodes frowned slightly. The Book of Knowledge had consumed a lot of souls in order to repair it, and it actually asked him for it. Wasn't the soul in the dream not enough for it?
"Isn't it? Do you need to use so much? What is the purpose of repairing this light platform? Will the dream bubble float faster?"
The Book of Knowledge wrote impatiently: "Do you think that the Tower of Light only plays a small role in psychic reconnaissance? This is very important. It is one of the core creations of the dreamland, and it is closely related to the spiritual monsters and ancient gods that will hunt us later.
The killings are closely related and must be repaired!"
That’s it!
Rhodes was surprised, happy, and a little sad.
I thought the Platform of Light was just a driving platform, but I didn’t expect it to have such a function.
In recent times, his growth rate has been too slow. He lacks soul and source, but the needs of Xingchen are getting higher and higher.
The reason is that there are fewer super powerful souls obtained from dreams.
The invasion stopped after Dreamland escaped pursuit and entered the orbit of the city of disorder.
The plan to hunt down the monsters in the spirit world and the remains of ancient gods has also been delayed for a long time because the Book of Knowledge has been sleeping.
Once he starts hunting monsters in the spirit world again, there should be more powerful souls and sources.
"Okay!"
Rhodes agreed immediately and returned to the material world.
Not long after, Lannister, Celie, Mavis and Annabeth also came back.
Apart from fatigue, they suffered no injuries.
Only Annabeth was unhappy. As soon as she returned to the lighthouse, she released her awakening state, kicked over the trailer turned into a wooden puppet, and went back to her room angrily.
Lannister looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Rhode, I have thought about it all the way. The only one who can control the monster to make such targeted behavior is the insect queen. It has sensed our threat."
Rhodes nodded.
He also thought of this, so he was worried when he heard the words of the Book of Knowledge just now.
"What should we do? Aren't we unable to enter the central area?"
"Not necessarily. I calculated the decrease in the size of the psychic field. Beyond 20,000 yards from the exit of the underground world, the field strength will be reduced by one level. The insect queen should not be able to control the demonized ants in that way."
"Yes!" Celie agreed: "We were not attacked until we entered a deep enough position."
Lannister continued: "We can hunt the king ants on the edge. Teacher Churchill just told me that the palace-level combat power in the entire region has gathered in the center. Every time the number of king ants drops by one level, the queen's spirit will be reduced."
Its energy will be weakened. As long as its spiritual energy field is compressed back, the space for it to move will be reduced and it will be easier for us to discover."
Rhodes is very happy. With these teammates here, things are really much easier.
They rested in the tower for a few hours. Although the situation was urgent, it was necessary to recover their psychic powers. It was the stupidest behavior to go up and die in a hurry to get out of shape. Neither the academy nor the combat troops advocated this kind of behavior.
Behavior.
During this time, Rhodes and Lannister discussed many details of fighting the King Ant and prepared many targeted items.
Although the Trident River area is in a semi-fallen state, the supply of supplies has not been interrupted. Transporters are constantly arriving at the lighthouse carrying a large box full of supplies, and then leaving in a hurry.
The box contains food, medicine, phlogiston, residual fire, and various combat supplies.
If there are special needs, Lannister will request it from the higher-level command post, and it will usually be sent over without waiting for long.
If it's marked expedited, it will be faster.
Rhodes silently sighed at the power of this logistics and transportation system.
It is quite difficult to ensure the transportation of materials in such an environment. It is not uncommon for transporters to get lost in the dark and be killed by monsters.
The fact that Trorian can achieve this level shows how many sacrifices they have made in order to fight.
After all preparations were completed, everyone embarked on the hunting journey again.
This time, Lannister prepared quite a few items to resist psychic shock. Everyone already knew the battle mode of the King Ant. Annabeth and Mavis deliberately stood outside the limit of psychic shock, and assembled
Psychic armor, black crystal necklaces and other equipment specially designed to resist psychic shock.
Lannister and Celie were at the front, fighting hand-to-hand with the king ant.
Rhodes is in the middle position, sometimes far and sometimes close, flexibly changing.
The king ant became weaker and weaker under the influence of continuous paralysis and coldness. The psychic shock was still unable to hit the two people on the outermost circle. Lannister and Celie clung to it like brown candy, and there was also a sixth child in the distance.
Shooting it means fucking its ass from behind.
Under such a targeted battle, the king ant, which had been extremely difficult to defeat before, soon became unable to hold on any longer. With a roar, Celie stabbed through the psychic defense with a knife and plunged into its head.
Its tenacious vitality allowed it to successfully sustain itself until Rhodes arrived and was snatched to death by him.
[The soul of the large demonized king ant]
OK!
Rhodes clenched his fist and felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
OK!
The Book of Knowledge wrote a word in his mind, and quickly pulled out the soul of the king ant that had not yet been warmed up from the soul altar and threw it into the platform of light.
