The Invercargill Warcraft Forest is very quiet, with only the sound of insects and the rustling of leaves.
A caterpillar crawled on the back of the leaf, devouring the plump cherry leaves vigorously. It had red and black stripes on its body, and some furry stingers containing toxins protruded from the body. Not even a bird could see it recently, which made it so
Live a very comfortable life.
The warm sunlight shines through the leaves, making its entire body warm.
A gust of wind blew and the leaves swayed hard twice.
The caterpillar's abdomen and legs tightly grasped the leaf, and it actually lay motionless behind the leaf.
This place is not too far from the Dark Worm Valley, and a violent tremor came, as if the earth was shaking, accompanied by waves of roars.
After a moment, a red tide surged out of the entire Dark Worm Valley. Only at a close distance could you see that those rolling around like a sea tide were countless large ghost-striped red ants. They rushed out of the ant nest and quickly
Rush to every corner of Invercargill Forest.
Each ghost-striped red ant is almost more than one meter long. The hard shells on some red ants have not yet been completely formed. They are all newcomers that have just emerged from the eggs. After breaking out of the fraternal eggs, they receive the first
The first instruction is to leave the insect valley and follow the new queen to open up a new kingdom of red ants.
Every hole in the Worm Valley is crowded with ghost-striped red ants that are pouring out crazily.
The red ants that rush out of the insect valley eat almost anything. They swallow some fresh leaves into their stomachs. Since there are thousands of these red ants, wherever they go, there are basically even
The fresher twigs were swallowed into the stomach.
Shrubs, weeds, mushrooms and some insects hiding in tree holes in the forest glade are almost all food for red ants.
They have great appetites and will eat almost anything.
Moreover, after being trapped in the fraternal egg for several months, the last bit of nutrients in the fraternal egg has been consumed. Their identification of food is very simple. As long as it is not of the same type and contains the breath of life, it is food in their eyes.
Over the dark insect valley, groups of newly born queen ants flew out of the ant nest, like a black cloud, completely covering the sky above the insect valley.
They are more than three meters long and have three pairs of gorgeous transparent wings. When they flap their wings and fly, the magic patterns on their wings stir up countless to tiny whirlwinds outwards.
These queen ants were hovering and flying over the Bug Valley, seeming to be learning about the world quickly.
A faint sweet and sour smell emanated from them, causing the ghost-striped red ants below the insect valley to fall into a state of frenzy.
Several clear cries came from the horizon due north.
A gray cloud came over from the high cliffs and mountains due north.
It was a large group of rocs with golden stripes all over their bodies. Each bird spread its wings almost twenty meters. They flew extremely fast. During the flight, an electric snake would occasionally shoot out of the sky, and then it would fly.
It fell into the forest below.
A group of rocs came over with lightning speed and rushed into the black cloud formed by the new queen ants above the insect valley.
The new queen ants felt the threat of the northern roc in advance.
They did not dare to fly north at all, and flapped their wings desperately in three directions: east, west, and south. However, their clumsy bodies and fat abdomens made it impossible for them to fly quickly.
The mournful cries of the birds resounded across the sky.
One after another, the roc birds chased the newborn queen, clasped their golden claws into the queen's body, pierced the future head with their sharp beaks, swallowed the newly condensed magic core inside, and carried it with them.
The corpse of the queen ant spread its wings and flew up, quickly returning to the high cliff among the mountains in the north.
An air battle quickly began over the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, and the Peng birds took the initiative on the battlefield with an absolute advantage.
The new ant queen only spits some acid. Even with three pairs of transparent wings, it is very clumsy when flying. It is no match for the rocs. The whirlwind emitted from its wings does not pose any threat to the rocs.
One by one, they were captured by the rocs and taken to the eagle's nest on the high mountain cliffs in the north.
Seeing the fighting in the sky above the forest, the last batch of monsters left in the forest felt the oppression of death, and finally made up their minds to escape. The forest was in a mess.
Some small beasts that can hide underground are shivering in caves.
The ghost-striped red ants on the ground are like a drop of thick ink dripping into a basin, quickly spreading outward.
The start of the Invercargill Forest Killing Feast...
A large number of ghost-striped red ants continue to pour out from the Dark Worm Valley, and they can feel that tens of thousands of ant queens in the sky are being slaughtered by the rocs.
They climbed to the tops of mountains and tree canopies, trying to help the new queens fight against the flying birds in the sky, but unfortunately they couldn't help at all.
The violent ghost-striped red ants are piled up into a tower at the highest point of the mountain. Countless ghost-striped red ants form a mountain giant. A group of huge soldier ants stand on the top of the giant, trying to block the flying birds in the sky.
.
But those roc birds didn't seem to be interested in the ordinary red ants with ghost stripes at all, they just flew around chasing the queen ants in the sky.
After the queen ants dispersed, they quickly lowered their flight altitude, intending to join up with the ghost-striped red ants on the ground to jointly defend against the rocs in the sky.
It's just that at this time, there are not many new queens left who have successfully escaped the roc's predation. Even if they fly at low altitude, they can't escape the roc's hunting.
…
Invercargill Forest is like being hit by the Lich King's 'blight' curse.
An invisible line appeared in the forest. Wherever the ghost-striped red ants passed, patches of forest were rapidly withering. After the red ants passed by, the forest quickly entered winter, and the dry branches were full of gnawing marks.
Dead trees with their leaves gnawed away, white bones with acid rot scattered around the territory, and even insect pupae and snake lizards hidden in the shallow soil were dug out and eaten.
And those ghost-striped red ants that have devoured a large number of plants and animals are also growing rapidly.
The carapace patterns on their bodies gradually deepened, and some sharp bone spurs began to evolve at the joints of their bodies. The mouthparts and pincers on their heads also developed some dark patterns and became sharper.
The ghost-striped red ants on the ground followed the new queen that had successfully escaped from the Dark Worm Valley, forming an army of red ants. The new queen flew close to the forest, alert to the roc in the sky.
And those ghost-striped red ants closely follow the new queen, and wherever they appear, they quickly turn into a dead place.
The ghost-striped red ants quickly spread throughout the Invercargill Forest, and soon the vanguard of the ghost-striped red ants crossed the rolling hills and arrived at the foot of Thorny Mountain.
The new queens dare not fly high into the sky and climb over the Thorny Mountains.
When the ghost-striped red ants climbed to the middle of the mountain, they finally encountered an obstacle for the first time. They encountered pieces of stone thorns crowded together. These stone thorns grew toward the sky, and each of them was almost several meters to several meters long.
They vary from ten meters to another, but these stone thorns are densely packed together.
The ghost-marked red ants tried to climb up the stone thorns, but some of the stone thorns could not withstand the weight of the ghost-marked red ants, so the ghost-marked red ants fell from the mountainside one after another.
Some ghost-striped red ants were squeezed between stone thorns, so stuck that they couldn't move at all.
When the stone thorn forest in the middle part of the mountain was filled with corpses of red ants, and the stone thorns were coated with the acid spitted by the ants, these ants finally gave up climbing over the mountain. A large number of red ants were
Circling along the Thorny Mountains, some ghost-marked red ants found the canyon between the Thorny Mountains and swarmed in like crazy...
At this point, the beast tide in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest in the northern part of the Bailin plane broke out in full force.
…
On the roof of a wooden house in the slums of Duodan Town, an indigenous boy stood on the highest ridge of the roof. He stepped on the beam with some dog urine and moss with his bare feet, held on to the chimney with one hand, stretched his neck and looked towards
Look towards the north.
He looked beyond the north city wall, pointed further north along the Dodan Gorge, and asked Aung San in the yard:
"Abba, what are those?"
In the yard, Aung San was chopping a piece of wood. He was preparing to fill the woodshed. When he heard his son calling him, he put down the ax in his hand.
He straightened up and looked into the distance, only to see a group of large birds appearing in the north.
Because they are too far away, those big birds are like mosquitoes and flies flying in the sky, but Aung San, who often collects magic herbs in the Invercargill Forest, knows that those are not mosquitoes and flies, but Peng, the overlord of the northern Warcraft in the Warcraft Forest.
bird.
Aung San's eyes became extremely solemn. He climbed up the wooden ladder to the roof, stood with his son, and said slowly:
"The beast tide, the real beast tide is coming!"
At this time, there were waves of commotion in the streets, and it was obvious that alert people had discovered the changes in the north.
Some people ran home quickly, some knocked on the door from door to door, and some shouted on the street, 'Ring the bell, ring the bell quickly, they are coming!'
…
The city guards guarding the northern city wall saw the herds in the canyon starting to riot on a large scale.
The high-level monsters began to attack the low-level monsters around them. The high-level monsters hidden in the herd were revealed one after another. They desperately urged the beasts to attack the northern city wall. When the beasts entered the city wall, they were covered by a large rain of arrows.
Pieces of sharp arrows were shot down, and a large number of low-level monsters fell on the grass.
The group of monsters became even more frightened. They discovered that the northern city wall in front of them was an insurmountable chasm. No matter how much their king urged them, they were unwilling to take another step forward.
Some monsters have given up their last struggle, knowing that there is a dead end in front of them, but they will hit the north wall without hesitation.
The city was filled with corpses of monsters.
Some monsters continued to attack the north city wall. They had sharp claws and were good at climbing over rock walls and rushed up the steep walls. However, they were pierced by the crossbow arrows and turned into hedgehogs.
Some monsters gave up on attacking the city wall and were ready to find another way, so they rushed into the dense forests on both sides of the canyon and fled up the mountain.
The city defense guards were excitedly counting the corpses of monsters under the city. They were squatting behind the wall stacks and adding arrows to the company's archer's crossbow while discussing their harvest.
Andrew and Gulitem looked at the north with stunned expressions. The two big men stood on the city wall and saw the blurry figures flying in the sky. They looked at each other and Gulitem said: "Is that the beast tide?"
Andrew nodded, and then said solemnly: "I didn't expect those ghost-striped red ants to fly, so why build this wall?"
"That's the queen of ants. Only their king can fly."
Suldak's voice came from behind.
Suldak added: "Although ghost-striped red ants cannot fly, they are good at climbing walls. Please notify us quickly and ask the logistics team to prepare more rolling stones."
Gulitem also stood beside Surdak and murmured:
"There is actually a queen ant, I don't know how it tastes..."
Andrew carried a butcher's battle ax and hacked to death a monster that had climbed up to the top of the city through the rain of arrows and rolling stones.
Surdak told him:
"Knock them down, and we'll prepare the cavalry. This may be the last crop of wheat..."
…
Traces of ghost-striped red ants have appeared in Duodan Canyon, and some ghost-striped red ants have begun to hunt the monsters in the canyon.
But these monsters were unwilling to be slaughtered by the ghost-marked red ants, and the two sides started fighting in the canyon.
Even the first-level monsters are much stronger than the ghost-patterned worker ants. Under their counterattack, the ghost-patterned worker ants were blocked at the entrance of the canyon, but soon a large number of ghost-patterned worker ants gathered at the mouth of the canyon.
The rot and giant pincers used their numerical superiority at the entrance of the canyon to suppress the monsters at the mouth of the canyon.
Some more advanced ghost-patterned soldier ants also appeared in the ant colony. These ghost-patterned soldier ants are more than two meters long, and the patterns on their bodies are much more complicated than the ghost-patterned worker ants. They have harder armor and are infinitely stronger.
On the battlefield, he is simply the nemesis of those first-level monsters.
Soon, the swarm of monsters guarding the entrance of the valley could not stop the ant colony's attack. A large number of ant colonies ignored the monsters at the entrance of the valley, and while their companions were fighting, they stepped on their bodies and poured into the Duodan Canyon.
Ghost-patterned red ants swarmed into the Duodan Canyon like a tide, and immediately started ruthlessly killing the monsters in the canyon.
In the melee, the ant colony with a huge numerical advantage quickly established a combat advantage. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and monsters and continued to rush forward.
…
As a large number of Warcraft corpses were transported into Dodan Town, the merchants in the town became excited again.
Standing on the city wall, Samira looked solemnly to the north. Traces of ghost-patterned red ants had been seen in the middle of the canyon a few kilometers away from the north city wall. They were engaged in a killing battle with the monsters in the canyon.
At first, the monsters were still able to persist, but the ghost-striped red ants sprayed out a large amount of acid. The monsters could not resist the corrosive effects of the acid on their bodies.
The subsequent battle situation formed a one-sided trend, with endless ghost-patterned red ants swarming towards the north wall of the canyon.
Samira finally knew what the warehouse was filled with kerosene for. This city wall alone could not stop those ghost-marked red ants. Only by building a wall of kerosene with kerosene could the town of Duodan be defended.
A signal to retreat has been sent out on the city wall, asking the troops under the city to clean up the corpses of the monsters to quickly return to Duodan Town.
By the time Suldak and Andrew climbed back to the top of the city, a large number of ghost-patterned red ants had already invaded the middle of the canyon. Some of the vanguard of the red ants rushed to the city and were torn to pieces by the monsters below.
I saw the monsters in the canyon being driven by the ant colony and swarming towards the north wall.
Some powerful monsters use all their strength to release magic.
The ghost-patterned red ants advanced against the sky full of ice arrows, fireballs, and wind blades. There were also large groups of ghost-patterned red ants that fell in the Duodan Canyon.
However, as several huge ghost-patterned red ants appeared, they rushed into the group of second-level monsters. The monsters gathered under the north wall were finally unable to stop them.
