Although I was not able to observe the ghost-striped red ants more closely, this expedition was worthwhile. At least it allowed Surdak to figure out the source of the beast tide.
After walking sideways for a while along this ridge, I finally saw a red figure running quickly through the forest at the foot of the ridge. It had a set of crimson mouthparts on its head. The pair of large pincers were about one foot long.
It is long, and there are some small sharp teeth in the middle of the jaws. Those sharp teeth are constantly interlaced. There is a pair of black compound eyes on the reddish-brown head. Three pairs of slender red legs protrude from the chest, dragging a spindle-shaped abdomen.
.
It was under a red pine tree. Its entire body was nearly three meters long. Its huge head was sniffing the smell of the forest. Its mouthparts kept opening and closing, as if it was looking for the prey. It looked particularly terrifying.
"Their sense of smell is very keen and they can smell smells from far away. We can't stay here for too long..."
Aung San walked to Surdak and whispered.
"let's go!"
Surdak waved his hand.
The group turned around and returned along the original path.
Arriving at the southern slope of the mountain, the tense nerves of the two indigenous warriors relaxed a little, and they no longer felt so anxious when walking.
When passing through a woodland, the indigenous warrior named Leto suddenly stopped, pointed at the seemingly dense woods, and muttered a few words quickly to Aung San.
Aung San's face was a little unnatural, and he turned to Suldak and said: "Leto said that a few days ago, an adventure group was killed by ghost-striped red ants in the forest over there. They just broke into the ghost-striped ants rashly.
The territory of the red ants was chased here by a group of soldier ants and killed."
Surdak walked towards the dense forest, and there were indeed traces of battles in the forest. Apart from the trees in this section, there were only some bones and broken leather armor, fragments of canvas tents, and a bloody boot scattered on the ground.
, I also saw a piece of advanced magic pattern structure that was shattered into pieces along the way, and the traces of the battle in the forest extended to the top of the mountain.
It seems that the adventure group went through a very brutal battle here, but unfortunately, this group of people could not escape the pursuit of the ghost-marked red ants in the end.
After searching in the woods for a long time, he could not find the badge marking this adventure group, so Suldak had no choice but to give up the search.
After walking out of the dense forest between the mountains, Surdak asked Aung San again:
“Do these ghost-striped red ants have any natural enemies?”
Aung San replied without thinking:
"have!"
Aung San pointed to the north and said: "They are farther north. It is said that they are a group of big golden birds. They sometimes come here to hunt. Those ghost-striped red ants are no match for them, but I usually don't like them."
I dare to go so deep, I have only seen it a few times... Their wingspan is probably seven or eight meters, they are covered in golden feathers, and their chirping sound can almost tear through the clouds..."
"The number of those birds is very small. Even if they can eat a few red ants, it will not affect their population."
Aung San added another sentence.
…
Surdak and his party walked back along the way they came, and after climbing over two mountains in a row, the indigenous warriors and Aung San gathered together and muttered for a long time.
Aung San then walked to Surdak, and this time the two indigenous warriors also followed, so the team stopped.
Surdak looked at Aung San suspiciously.
Aung San said to Suldak: "Leto said they found a hive of yellow-tailed giant bees near here. They can't defeat those giant bees. If we are willing to help, the final harvest of honey and beeswax will be divided equally."
Surdak didn't know what kind of strength the Yellow-tailed Giant Bee had, so he asked Aung San:
"What's the strength of that swarm of yellow-tailed giant bees?"
Aung San scratched his head and then said: "I heard that the yellow-tailed giant wasp is a group of first-level monsters. The poisonous needles at the tail pierce the body, and the toxins are enough to poison a strong warrior to death. There are at least several hundred in a hive.
There is a giant bee, and each hive will have a queen bee. That queen should belong to the category of second-level monsters. However, when I usually see such monsters, I always actively avoid them, so I don’t know about Huang Tail.
The true strength of Giant Bee."
"Tell me, what are we going to do?" Surdak asked Aung San.
Aung San pointed at the two indigenous warriors and said: "They will lure the yellow-tailed giant bees out, and then ask your sharpshooter to kill them one by one. The weak point of those yellow-tailed giant bees is in the abdomen, and their sperm is
Steel arrows can penetrate their bodies, and as long as they are nailed to a tree, they will not be able to break free."
Then Aung San said: "The only trouble is that queen bee, which not only flies very fast, but also shoots poisonous stings outwards, but I think you and your men should be able to defeat it."
Surdak saw Gulitem's eagerness to try, thought for a moment, and then said:
"I think we can try it!"
…
Two hours later.
Just under a towering tree, there are countless corpses of yellow-tailed giant bees scattered everywhere. Almost all of these yellow-tailed giant bees were shot through the head by an arrow. Although they still want to flap their wings and fly, they can only be like headless flies.
Bumping around.
Two indigenous warriors held spears in their hands and stabbed the yellow-tailed giant wasps with the final sting.
Clear magic lines appeared on Samira's right arm, and the arrow pot at her waist had already been completely empty. The blood vessels in the entire arm were bulging, and the arm had turned red. It had obviously reached the top of her body.
limit.
Ever since the powerful life magic pattern was implanted in the Great Ape King, Samira's physical strength has never been exhausted like this.
There was fine sweat on the tip of the half-elf archer's nose and forehead, and there was a hint of red on his cheeks.
Surdak used the blood-red crescent sword to split the head of the yellow-tailed queen. The transparent wings behind the queen slowly stopped vibrating, and the whole body curled up and still twitched on the ground.
Dead yellow-tailed giant wasps were scattered everywhere. These yellow-tailed giant wasps were actually larger than an adult's fist.
The ogre Gulitum squatted aside and asked Aung San to help pull out several poisonous thorns stuck in his shoulders.
The venom of the yellow-tailed giant wasp is nothing to the strong ogre. It can only make his shoulders swell up with a big bump. But when Aung San helps pull out the stinger of the queen bee, the ogre can
Mogulitem couldn't wait to pick up the yellow-tailed giant wasps from the ground and string them on a fine steel arrow shaft.
He also said to Surdak with excitement: "If this thing is grilled and eaten, it probably won't taste very good, but I think it can be fried..."
Surdak split open the Yellow-tailed Queen's head, and there was indeed a magic core inside. This Yellow-tailed Queen was almost a late-level first-level Warcraft, and he was lucky to find such a magic core.
However, those yellow-tailed giant wasps are not first-level monsters. They can only be regarded as mutated killer bees. The magic patterns on their bodies are not fully developed. In addition to having a highly toxic poisonous needle, they are at most huge.
And its vitality is very strong and extremely aggressive.
Two indigenous warriors climbed up the towering tree, tied the hive with a rope, and lifted it to the ground little by little.
Peeling off the beeswax on the outside reveals a densely arranged hexagonal honeycomb inside, and there are even many squirming bee pupae the size of eggs inside.
The two indigenous warriors happily split the beehive in two, carefully wrapped their own portion in banana leaves, and then made it into a huge package and carried it on their backs. The honey stuck to their fingers went into their stomachs.
There were only magic-sealing boxes and ordinary boxes in Surdak's magic pocket. There was a whole box of honey mixed with bee pupae and beeswax.
