The gap under the stone beam was instantly buried by countless thorny stone pillars that collapsed.
It's just that this shelter is very strong. Although countless collapsed rubbles flowed down, trapping Suldak and the veterans of the cavalry battalion, this stone gap still withstood the impact of the landslide and did not completely collapse.
.
The violent vibration lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, which felt like a century.
The last crack in the stone seam was completely filled with gravel, and everyone entered a claustrophobic space.
The blasting point chosen by Surdak was located on both sides of the gap in the stone beam. Although some thorny stone pillars fell down above the stone beam, they only affected the gap in the stone beam. Instead, the entire mountain col was filled with stalagmites.
The cave is filled with a lot of dust. Recently, these veterans in the cavalry camp have skillfully covered their mouths and noses with masks. In the deserted land, this kind of mask to prevent the volcanic ash from being inhaled into the lungs has almost become a must-have item for the cavalry.
Surdak raised the Holy Light Torch and stepped on the loose gravel under his feet to inspect the damage to the cave.
The veterans were about to light the torches, but were stopped by Suldak.
Then Surdak found a stalagmite inserted diagonally from the outside, but this stalagmite just passed through the body of the ghost-striped male ant blocking the outside, and there were still some orders hanging on the tip of the stalagmite that came through.
Disgusting male ant guts.
Selena's tent was still placed safely in the deepest part of the stone crevice and was not affected by the huge earthquake, but she was still in a coma.
After the huge earthquake outside subsided, Andrew wanted to climb up the rocks at the entrance of the cave, intending to find a passage out, but the gravel was very loose. After peeling some of it off, the gravel on top continued to flow down, and all his efforts were wasted.
Just as Gulitem was about to help Andrew clean the entrance of the cave, Suldak came from inside and said to Aphrodite: "Aphrodite, take out the secret weapon you have prepared. The secret weapon here is
The space is not very big, if we don’t dig out a passage quickly, the rest of us may suffocate to death here!”
"Okay, don't worry, I will let them open a channel as soon as possible..."
After saying that, she moved her body away, and five ghost-striped worker ants slowly crawled out from the depths of the rock crevice behind her as if they were drunk.
None of these five ghost-striped worker ants were injured, and they seemed to be controlled by Aphrodite.
Suldak held the Holy Light torch and came closer. Looking carefully, he saw that the tentacles in front of the heads of these ghost-striped worker ants were more like two shovels. They were not only convenient for digging soil, but also could hold some gravel and dig.
It's like their instinct to go into underground caves.
They did not rush blindly to the entrance of the cave and dig casually, but searched around the entire entrance of the cave and explored all around before starting to dig.
Five ghost-striped worker ants chose to dig diagonally upwards against the mountain wall. Several ghost-striped worker ants moved some gravel into the cave in an orderly manner, and even erected several huge rocks while digging, causing the cave entrance to collapse.
Hold it in place to prevent the gravel chips from sliding down again, and fill the dug hole.
Although they walk a little unnaturally, they are still very professional at digging burrows.
In the process of digging for the exit, you will inevitably encounter some stalagmites lying in front of you. These stalagmites are all buried, and only a small part is exposed, which cannot be removed. The ghost-striped worker ants usually choose to avoid it as much as possible.
If you can't get around it, you'll start spitting acid at the stalagmites. When the rock softens, you'll bite it off bit by bit with giant tentacles...
At this time, Suldak arranged for the veterans who had fought hard all night to eat something and rest where they were.
Then he checked the casualties of the veterans of the cavalry battalion. In addition to one who had his leg broken by a boulder, two veterans were bitten by ghost-striped soldier ants last night. Surdak quickly started cleaning their wounds.
, the one with a broken leg could only clamp the leg on a wooden board to fix it, and then use the Holy Light spell to speed up the healing.
The injuries of the other two veterans were even simpler to deal with. They just cleaned the wounds and didn't even need to suture them. They already had the 'Blessed Body' in their bodies. Coupled with the effect of Holy Light, the wounds were almost as large as
Heals quickly and at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The other veterans were all normal, with almost all minor injuries on their bodies. Almost all of them were burned by the acid from the ghost-striped red ants. Of course, this kind of thing is always unavoidable in battle.
Even the three wounded veterans had not completely lost their combat effectiveness, but were just a little depressed. After the treatment, Suldak let them lie down in their sleeping bags and sleep for a while.
…
In the dark cave, there are only five tireless ghost-striped worker ants that are constantly digging out the passage.
Andrew sat cross-legged on a stone wall. He placed the butcher's ax flat on his legs. He touched the handle of the ax with one hand and the pattern engraved on the blade with one hand. The surging fighting spirit steamed out of his body.
It is like a burning flame. This kind of fighting spirit overflowing from the body shows that he has completely mastered the fighting spirit. It is enough to show that the Nanai indigenous warrior with the "Berserker Soul" is only one step away from the second transformation.
remote.
It only took two hours for five ghost-striped worker ants to dig out a passage from the rubble accumulated in front of the gap in the stone beam.
The sun shines in from outside, and the dark space is filled with dust.
Fresh air was blown into the closed stone room by the wind, and the veterans of the cavalry battalion who were trapped in the cracks of the stone let out a burst of irrepressible cheers.
The ghost-striped soldier ants cleaned up the surroundings of the cave wall a little, and Samira crawled out along the cave.
She looked around the entrance of the cave before carefully climbing out. Then she poked her head into the cave and reached out to pull Suldak behind her out of the cave.
Surdak discovered that a large area of the mountain wall had collapsed. After the large thorny stone pillars collapsed by the explosives filled the mountain col, the remaining stone pillars rolled into the valley below the mountain wall, forming an obvious landslide.
.
Countless broken thorn stone pillars are scattered in the landslide, just like a ruin...
The corpses of many ghost-striped worker ants were mixed in the ruins, and some light brown blood stains even emerged from many rock crevices. Those large ghost-striped male ants were basically buried in them.
Some ghost-marked male ants were not completely buried, and some parts of their bodies were in the ruins. Some ghost-marked male ant limbs were broken into several sections by the impact of stone pillars, and some sharp stone pillars pierced the hard armor of ghost-marked male ants.
, many ghost-marked male ants are extremely tenacious in their lives. The ghost-marked male ants that have not died are still struggling feebly among the ruins. Some ghost-marked male ants rely on brute force to try to climb out from under the ruins...
Andrew climbed out with a group of veterans. At this time, the veterans, regardless of themselves being covered in dust, dispersed around to be on guard.
The ogre Gulitem was the last to crawl out. The exit dug by the ghost-striped worker ants was a bit narrow for him. The tall ogre spent a little more effort to crawl out of the cave.
.
When Gulitem also crawled out, the five ghost-striped worker ants responsible for digging the cave wall, under the control of Aphrodite, died one by one with their heads exploding, and light brown blood splashed on the gravel beside them.
, causing the veterans resting next to them to tremble all over.
They didn't know Aphrodite's true identity, but they were frightened and frightened by Aphrodite's various methods.
There are many ghost-striped red ants in the canyon gathered at the foot of the canyon, trying to climb up the soil slope.
The veterans of the cavalry battalion quickly dispersed and began to clear the battlefield.
As long as some of the ghost-striped male ants that were buried under the boulders were exposed, the veterans would get close to them and try to remove as many magic cores from their bodies as possible.
As for the biggest gain from this battle, the queen was surrounded by a group of ghost-striped male ants. Even at the last moment when the rubble collapsed, the group of ghost-striped male ants did not give up on the queen, using their huge bodies to
In order to protect the queen ant from the impact of the rock flow, the queen also struggled to get into the air with all her strength. Unfortunately, at the last moment, she was penetrated by a stalagmite that shot out. Her body was hung on a tree near the entrance of the mountain col.
On top of the broken stone pillar.
When the ogre found the remains of the ghost-striped ant queen, the queen's body was already there. Andrew helped him cut off the queen's head, and finally obtained the brain of the third ghost-striped ant queen.
He didn't even pay attention to the large number of ghost-striped red ants gathered at the foot of the mountain. He carried the head of the ghost-striped ant queen and ran to the cave entrance. He groaned and raised a large iron pot, pouring out the frozen matcha-colored brain.
The sticky brain filled most of the pot.
During this period, Gulitem also fished out a fist-sized magic core and threw it to Surdak next to him.
Under the iron pot was a magical scroll that focused on fire. The flames shot up and just wrapped the iron pot in it. The ogre was waiting aside happily.
The veterans quickly dug up the ghost-striped male ants buried in the rubble before the ghost-striped red ants rushed up.
…
Standing on the top of a stalagmite, Surdak could see the queen ant in the ant colony at the foot of the mountain from a distance. She was flying at a low altitude, suspended at a height beyond the reach of the ghost-striped male ants, commanding a group of ants from the north.
The ghost-patterned soldier ants that came back from the city wall began to climb the steep slope formed by the flow of rocks.
These ghost-striped soldier ants tried to rush up the mountain of the landslide, but the foot of the mountain was almost full of floating gravel. When they first started climbing, these ghost-striped soldier ants did not encounter any problems. They just waited until the number increased and the hillside
The floating gravel was loosened by trampling on it, and these loose gravel continued to slide downward with the ghost-striped soldier ants.
There were even small rockslides formed, burying some climbing red ants.
Although there were no casualties, this immediately slowed down the attack pace of the ghost-striped red ants. Some ghost-striped soldier ants gathered at the foot of the mountain, circling back and forth, but refused to climb up the mountainside.
Some of the ghost-striped soldier ants tried to take a detour from both sides of the mountain wall. Soon some soldier ants discovered a mountain path covered with thorny stone pillars. Many soldier ants crowded at the door, intending to use the mountain path to enter the mountain that was filled up by the rock flow.
mountain col.
But this section of the road is not easy to walk. The ghost-striped red ants that were hiding in the mountain road were frightened by the collapsed thorn stone pillars. They initially accepted the control of the dead ghost-striped ant queen.
Now the queen ant at the foot of the mountain has not had time to take over these minions, so they are hiding in the mountain road and shivering.
The ghost-striped red ants who wanted to pass through this mountain road were blocked behind. Some ghost-striped soldier ants stepped on the bodies of the red ants in front, but they aroused the dissatisfaction of the ghost-striped red ants, and a commotion broke out in the mountain road.
.
A group of ghost-striped male ants surrounded the queen and slowly caught up from behind. The queen spread out three pairs of cicada wings in front of these ghost-striped red ants, revealing her crimson abdomen like a hook, which immediately made the surroundings
The ghost-striped red ants all surrendered to it.
The surrounding ghost-striped male ants squeezed over desperately, stretching out their two searchlight-like tentacles, trying to touch the queen ant.
The queen ant subconsciously raises her flying height to avoid being touched by the ghost-striped male ants. The entire ant colony is worshiping this queen.
In the canyon, another queen ant was also rushing towards this direction, surrounded by a group of ghost-striped male ants.
…
Surdak checked Selina's condition. Although her complexion had recovered, she was still asleep.
Samira was always paying attention to the movements of the ghost-striped red ants below, but it was not so easy for these ghost-striped soldier ants to climb into the mountain col.
However, some of the ghost-striped worker ants that were lucky enough not to die are now pouring out of the mountain road again.
A small-scale battle had already begun on the rocky slope with the combat team led by Andrew. These worker ants were no match for these veterans who had gained strength. The knight swords in the hands of the veterans were almost soaked with light brown blood, and they were still
There is a steady stream of red ants with ghost stripes approaching upwards.
Since there was a large group of ghost-striped red ants staring at this side eagerly, Andrew was not reluctant to fight. After seeing that the demon cores on the ghost-striped male ants were almost collected, he threw two fire scale bombs towards the exit of the mountain road, and with the fire
With the explosion of scale bombs, several ghost-striped worker ants were immediately splashed with flesh and blood.
Andrew took the opportunity to retreat back with the veterans.
After the explosion subsided, the ghost-striped red ants in the mountain road emerged again.
The big iron pot in front of Gulitem had already boiled the frozen brain inside. The ogre Gulitem quickly took back the fire-gathering magic scroll. He was not afraid of being burned, so he sat in front of the big iron pot and took out a wooden spoon.
, scooped out the hot paste inside, and stuffed it into his mouth without any explanation.
When he ate the food, he almost closed his eyes. The moment the ant paste entered his throat, his shoulders shook twice, as if he was enjoying extremely delicious food.
He swallowed the ant paste into his stomach almost like a storm, and then the ogre's body became hot, and the marble skin became red and white for a while, and the body swelled up like an inflated balloon, and his shoulders
The second head finally showed very obvious changes.
Although the facial features on the second head have not yet been fully formed, there are already some expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy on the face.
Then the head seemed to be breaking free from some kind of restraint, struggling continuously under a thin layer of skin.
Black sun patterns appeared on the chest of the ogre Gulitem, and those patterns erupted with huge mana fluctuations.
He stood at a high place, reached out and pulled hard on the second head, and a thin piece of skin was pulled off by him like a rubber sheath. Then an equally young face appeared next to him, pulling Guli's head hard.
Temu was startled.
The same nose, mouth, and ears, but those eyes are a little special.
One eye is like cold ice and snow, showing an icy blue color.
The other eye is like a burning flame, showing a fiery red color...
