The ghost-striped male ant is so big that a complete ghost-striped male ant basically occupies an entire four-wheeled carriage.
Surdak could only dismember these large ghost-striped male ants outside the small building.
These male ants are much larger than the giant ghost-striped soldier ants, and their sizes are not at the same level. These ghost-striped male ants have wide bodies, and they almost look like golden beetles, if not for the thorns on their necks.
With the head of a red ant on its head, it is difficult to recognize that this is actually a type of red ant with ghost stripes.
They seem to be born entirely for mating and fighting. Their abdomen looks like a small container, with thick giant legs supporting the entire body. The dark red hard carapace is covered with some thick armor sheets.
If they stood upright at the front of their bodies, they would be estimated to be four meters tall. This height would easily surpass the ogre Gulitem.
Moreover, the hard armor on their bodies is similar to that of soldier ants, both of which are extremely hard.
Suldak tried to hit the bone spurs growing near the joints with a hammer. They were very hard and difficult to break.
Under the 'eye of truth', all the magic patterns on the body of the ghost-patterned male ants are invisible.
Although these ghost-marked male ants also have "life magic patterns" on their bodies, most of the ghost-marked male ants' bodies were blown to pieces by gunpowder, and the life magic patterns located on the ghost-marked male ants' abdomens cover a very large area and are similar to the earth.
There are earth protective magic patterns like a shield, and basically no male ant has a complete life magic pattern.
Once this kind of life magic pattern is born on the body of a monster, it cannot be repaired once it is damaged.
However, the hard skin on the male ants is far harder than the hard skin on the giant soldier ants. Surdak couldn't cut it with an ax or saw, and he didn't want to waste the super-high-quality monsters on the male ants.
Meat.
Finally, Suldak thought of a way to extract some acid rot from the abdominal cavity of the ghost-striped male ants, and then applied it to the surface of the ghost-striped male ants' hard carapace with a small brush. Unfortunately, those brushes were made of pig hair.
Just dip it in a little sour liquid and it will slowly melt away.
After some experimentation, Suldak found that he could use a silver spoon to apply the pickling liquid to the hard skin of the ghost-striped male ants, but he had to endure the unpleasant smell of the pickling liquid.
Surdak didn't have any good solution for this. Fortunately, he could completely dismember these ghost-striped male ants, pick out the translucent meat inside the legs, and cook them.
As for those hard-shelled Suldak, they are going to be soaked in the pit, and after they have completely softened, they will be cleaned, flattened, and dried...
This kind of hard leather armor also has good magic conductivity, so the hard leather armor must be very good.
The only pity is that among so many male ants with ghost patterns, not one has a complete life magic pattern.
Moreover, the head is too huge, making it very inconvenient to store it in a magic-sealing box.
Tonight, Andrew and Samira need to continue to watch the night so that Adams can be replaced during the day. Suldak is a little worried that these ghost-marked red ants will sneak into the north wall of the city through the night to launch a surprise attack.
Granting Samira the blessing of 'Insight', a high-ranking god.
…
Selina has been counting the supplies in the warehouse all day long. The daily consumption of military supplies is huge.
Especially today, it was complicated. Not only did a large amount of military supplies be consumed, but some supplies including giant crossbow arrows and fine steel arrowheads were also recovered.
In addition, a large amount of Warcraft materials on the ghost-patterned red ants are also collected. The most conspicuous one is the magic core containing precious magic crystals. These need to be recorded and recorded. Each transaction has its corresponding merit. If you make a mistake,
, the merit exchange list is likely to collapse.
Selina was responsible for tallying these accounts and was busy almost from morning till night.
Nika became Surdak's little helper at noon and was always helping him.
Xigna also left the hut and ran to the military camp to watch the excitement.
She was wearing a Lolita dress and looked like an exquisite little princess. This was probably Selena's new purchase. There is no such beautiful style of dress in Wall Village.
She squatted quietly next to the ogre, staring with eyes as bright as obsidian. She was very curious about the ogre's cooking method, and stared at the ogre as he roasted the brains of the queen ants.
Surprisingly, the two of them still have something in common.
Moreover, the ogre happily introduced this cooking method to Signa, and kept stirring the iron pot with a wooden spoon, and kept adding some ingredients into it.
The two seemed to have a very good conversation, and in order to facilitate the conversation, the ogre even let Xigna sit on his shoulders.
For the ogre, this behavior is simply a rare recognition.
Gulitem cooked a whole queen ant. He started eating almost before the sun went down, and he was still eating and drinking until it was completely dark.
After it got dark, Signa sat on the wooden steps at the door of the cafeteria, silently watching the ogres eating.
At this time, Nika finished her work and ran to the cafeteria to find Signa.
Suldak needed to stay at the military camp tonight, so Selina prepared a dinner in the small building of the military camp. Nika was responsible for the preparations, and Selina came back from the logistics warehouse.
, just responsible for the final cooking.
Fortunately, at noon, the ogre Gulitem followed Surdak's request and rinsed the kitchen countertop with water and dumped out all the smelly monster entrails, so the kitchen no longer smelled like that.
the taste of.
During dinner time, soldiers wearing simple leather armor lined up at the entrance of the canteen, holding wooden plates in their hands. Tonight was still bacon, toasted wheat cakes and vegetable soup, although the Warcraft meat had already been cured during the marinating process.
The last bit of magic has been lost, but the bacon tastes pretty good.
Signa quietly rolled up into a ball, hugging her knees with her hands, sitting on the steps without being disturbed.
Nika walked up the steps, stood in front of Xigna, stretched out her hand and said to her:
"Hey, Xigna, we are going to the small building for dinner! Selena will take us both home after that..."
Xigna came back from her daze.
She glanced at Nika, held Nika's hand, and stood up from the steps.
"Actually, I ate something else and I'm not very hungry now." Xigna followed Nika and said as she walked.
She hesitated for a moment, slowed down her steps, and turned to look at the ogre. Although Gulitem's belly was already very bulging, he was still eating fiercely.
Nika stopped, looked at Xigna behind her, and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Following Xigna's gaze, Nika saw the ogre Gulitem.
She knew that Mr. Ogre was a follower of Baron Suldak.
Xigna glanced at Nika and seemed to be saying to herself: "After tonight, he may become different..."
Nika asked curiously: "What changes will there be?"
Xigna closed her eyes, and after a while, she did not answer Nika's question, but took her hand and said lightly: "Let's go!"
…
Gulitem rarely feels full when he eats. Even if his stomach is so bloated that he can't eat anything, he will not feel full.
His belly is probably the toughest thing in the world and can digest almost anything, even soil, bark, roots and animal bones. As long as he can eat it, he can definitely digest it.
Of course metal things are not enough.
For example, daggers and the like, once eaten into the stomach, the buttocks will bleed when defecating.
He was very satisfied with his meal tonight. He almost drank the queen ant brains in the iron pot in one go. The jelly-like substance became very soft and smooth after being boiled in the pot, and he almost had no feeling of swallowing.
, it flowed into the stomach.
The queen ant didn't have much meat on her body, but she had a lot of internal organs, which he cooked out in one pot.
There are a lot of these things.
He ate for a long time, from dawn to dusk, before he finished all the food.
This time, not only was his stomach satisfied, but his spirit and soul were also satisfied in an indescribable way.
He leaned lazily by the campfire, not wanting to move.
But in the end, he relied on his own perseverance to extinguish the bonfire, put the iron pot next to it, and then ran to the bath wall to wash his body, then got into the wooden room that belonged to him, lay down on a big bed and screamed.
sleep.
In his sleep, he couldn't feel the magic elements around his body slowly gathering. There was a natural magic circle condensing around him, as if totem patterns appeared on his body bit by bit, and those cyan magic patterns appeared on the surface of his skin.
Then it disappeared immediately.
All night long, the ogre Gulitem had a long, long dream.
He dreamed that he had not dared to look at his own shadow since he was a child, always feeling that it was another version of himself.
Many times, he felt that he was missing something, as if something was missing from his body, so he kept eating, eating hard, and eating different foods all over the world. The elders in the tribe thought that he was very talented, and he would probably be able to eat in the future.
To become a warrior of their ogre tribe, his parents encouraged him to leave the ogre tribe and venture into the outside world. Perhaps this would help his growth.
So he walked out of the place next to the sea and walked into a jungle that seemed to never end.
At one point he even thought he was lost in the jungle.
In the jungle of the Maca plane, he lived a very leisurely life.
Later he met Surdak, and he followed Surdak out of the Maca plane.
He not only feels the meaning of life, but also pursues the completeness that belongs to him...
In the dream, he seemed to see another sleeping soul in his body waking up. He was absorbing enough nutrients in his belly and growing up rapidly.
He could very clearly sense that the soul was his other self. He had been unable to wake up completely due to lack of strength. The brain flower of the ghost-striped ant queen provided him with sufficient nutrients. Under the nourishment of this power, the other self also
Awakened.
If the current one is a warrior with natural divine power, then the other one is a wizard with a wise mind.
He is extremely smart, and he also controls ice and fire. It is a part of himself and seems to be another independent individual.
…
In the morning he woke up in the sunshine.
The sun shines through the open window of the work shed, warming the body.
He could hear the whistles of the cavalry and heavy armored infantry gathering in the military camp. A group of war horses ran out of the stables, causing the ground to shake violently.
He touched his shriveled belly and felt very hungry this time, after eating so much last night.
He sat up from the big wooden bed and looked outside with sleepy eyes. Suddenly, he felt his neck was itchy. He stretched out his hand and scratched his neck twice. He found that there was a huge meat bag on his left shoulder near his neck...
…what the hell is this?
He suddenly woke up.
Opening his eyes, he carefully touched his bulging neck.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely think that he was suffering from some kind of disease, but he was an ogre. He heard the elders of the tribe tell about this situation, and a feeling of joy instantly surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He couldn't control his mood and jumped up from the shed.
His strong body jumped several meters high, and his bald head broke through the roof of the simple wooden house. Then he let out a deafening roar in the air. After falling down, he strode out of the camp.
Adams, who was about to rush to the city to switch defenses with Andrew, saw Gulitm rushing out of the military camp like a madman. He thought something urgent had happened, so he quickly mounted a war horse and chased after him with his knights.
Go up.
Adams' cronies immediately went to find Suldak in the small building.
Gulitem ran to the river in one breath...
He squatted by the river and saw his reflection on the river through the quiet water.
This is it! He has been waiting for so long just for this. It is the other self that has finally awakened.
Gulitem stood by the river, raised the bone-crushing stick in his hand, and roared with joy...
His roar shook the river and the grass on the bank, with his body as the center, and ripples continued to appear outward.
