The acidophilic ants outside the Bloodstream Canyon are usually not well-known. They have stayed underground quietly for decades, and the outside world is almost never aware of their existence. Even the neighboring Magru tribe does not regard those ants as
Something happened.
Until the ants suddenly came out in full force and crawled to the ground. The boundless ant colony was like a rolling wave, covering the entire field of vision. The black forest was experiencing a catastrophe, and the ferocious monsters fled one after another and retreated.
The ant colony advanced all the way to the top of the cemetery area of Silverleaf City and began to dig into the hard frozen soil layer more than ten meters thick. Just as they continued to dig out particles of soil, a gray old goblin, Zul. Gray Skin, came from outside the ant colony.
Wearing a fallen leaf cloak, he slowly approached.
The acidophilic ants on the edge of the ant colony scurry back and forth, waving their tentacles in the air constantly, and relying on smell to determine whether there are companions around them. They automatically avoid the fallen leaf cloaks that smell of decay, confusing them with the mud that is common in the black forest.
"What on earth are these guys doing?" The old goblin was stooped, walking slowly and making wretched movements. It kept looking at the movement hundreds of meters away, "Those ants seem to be digging holes. Why are they making such a big fuss just to dig holes? This must be true.
There is a conspiracy."
The old goblin was approaching the excavation site, and the crusade team on the other side was doing the same thing. With the help of arcane spells such as 'charm monsters' and 'collective invisibility', Warren quietly approached with about twenty 'just' people.
The 'Secret Eye' stared at the ground at an altitude of tens of meters, and clearly saw the ants working hard on the project. The sight turned and stared at the two groups of Zhou Qingfeng and Hanfeng City who had merged, and quietly tōu kuī
.
"Warren, those guys seem to be going underground." Powell approached the leader of the team and asked in a low voice.
"This should be where Silver Leaf City used to be." Warren's gaze swept across the wilderness. Although the city had submerged underground, there were still some traces left on the ground. "I just don't know where in Silver Leaf City these ants are digging?"
"
The golden-robed wizard had a map circulated from Harmony Village in his hand. Several people studied the wolf-skin map for a long time, but could not reach an agreement on the direction and specific location. But everyone agreed that the evil demon must have a deep meaning.
.
"Let's follow and kill that evil spirit if we have the chance. If I die, lǎo máoqi will take over and lead the team." Warren tightened his armor and led the way forward, approaching the excavation site.
The holes dug at the site became deeper and deeper, and it only took half a day to open a passage into the underground city. Mixed in the mounds of soil accumulated during the digging of the passage were the corpses of thousands of acidophilic ants, which were
The price paid for digging.
'Jiying' said faintly: "I thought these ants wouldn't get tired or die."
The necromancer emphasized: "Ant colonies only have collectives and no individuals. There are so many of them that they don't care about this death at all. If the curse hadn't appeared on the ant eggs this time, they would have continued to stay underground and develop greater
scale."
The tunnel was dug, and a wave of ants rushed in. The queen's consciousness came to her, and she asked: "Human, under this tunnel is where our team arrived secretly. Even the goblins here don't know about us.
What did you do?
But it was in front of a church below that we were cursed by the gods. We tried many ways to solve this problem, but none worked. Now it's your turn. Let us get rid of the curse and you will be free, or die.
.”
Zhou Qingfeng stood in front of the dug tunnel. The tunnel was dark and nothing could be seen, but hundreds of acidophilic ants climbed in fearlessly, and more acidophilic ants were waiting to pour in. He
After watching it for a few seconds, he asked Cyric, "What's going on below?"
"My spiritual mind can only scan a huge space, which is full of collapsed buildings and stone statues, and the aura of the undead is very strong. Are you sure you want to go in?" Cyric said.
"If you go in, you will have a narrow chance of death. If you don't go in, you will die without a chance. How do you want me to choose?" Zhou Qingfeng said. He then said in the 'Holy Light' information network: "Everyone, are you ready?"
A series of 'ready' responses sounded, including the men of Justen and Mondino, including the personnel of Cold Wind City, and even the few personal guards who had been following Zhou Qingfeng as miscellaneous soldiers. Everyone tightened their hands.
Weapons, ready to fight.
Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath, turned to look at the ant pile not far away that was like a hill surrounding the queen, and sneered: "Queen, I've known you for more than half a month, what's your name?"
"We ants have no names, and we don't need names. Why do you ask this?" the queen replied.
Zhou Qingfeng laughed loudly and took a grenade-like thing from Fabro's hand. "I also want to brag to others in the future. I can say that I once killed such and such queen ant. But now I can only say that I killed it."
Got a big ant."
Before he finished speaking, 'Quick Shadow' suddenly accelerated towards the direction of the ant pile. It was covered in flames and turned all the ants around it into charcoal. It was unstoppable along the way. The queen ant said angrily: "Human, what do you want to do? I
I can kill you easily."
Hilly jumped off the horse, drew her bow and nocked an arrow in the distance. She whistled softly, and all the fine gold arrows in the endless quiver flew up, and landed on the magic bow one by one in order.
Spread your wings.
The bow string was tightened, and the flying arrows arrived first and hit the ant pile before Zhou Qingfeng. Each hit would produce violent penetration and electric shock effects, and the acidophilic ants on the ant pile continued to explode and fall down.
.
The speed of 'Quick Shadow' increased to the extreme. Zhou Qingfeng squeezed the grenade-like soul and threw it into the large hole in the ant pile blown open by the arrow. The magic item quickly disappeared into the dense ants.
In the group, there is no smoke or sound.
Zhou Qingfeng raised the sword of 'divine power' again and shouted loudly: "Fabro, if your gadget is ineffective, I will chop you down first."
The chief alchemist nervously held a staff behind him and shouted: "It will take three seconds after gān rǎo qì is activated. It will not work that quickly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong spiritual shock suddenly erupted from the ant pile. Zhou Qingfeng felt a sting in his brain, as if he had been hit by a shock bomb. Everyone present was affected. He was dizzy and dizzy.
, forced to enter a state of absent-mindedness.
The direction of the ant pile was even more violently impacted. The acidophilic ants that had originally gathered in a group suddenly looked like a collapsed wall. The cocoon structure composed of a large number of ants continued to collapse. The queen ant let out a sharp and miserable scream as her mind was shaken.
Call, carry out throughout the audience.
The 'Swift Shadow', whose whole body was on fire, rushed towards the collapsed ant pile, lighting up the acid-loving ants that were out of control. Zhou Qingfeng held up the 'Divinity' high, and used his spiritual energy to turn into a sharp blade and slashed deep into the ant pile, trying to protect the layers.
Kill the queen ant below.
After repeated cooperation, the ant pile was stripped to a thickness of five to six meters, but the queen ant hiding inside was still not visible. However, the gān rǎo qì that restrained the spiritual connection between the ants stopped working, and the acidophilus that was originally a mess
The ants are once again under the control of the queen.
A shrill scream rang out in everyone's mind. It was an extremely resentful curse, "Humans, you all must die!"
The ants surged up and heavily wrapped up Zhou Qingfeng who was trapped in the ant pile. A loud "Get away" suddenly erupted, and a strong ring-shaped air wall blew a large number of ants into the sky. "Quick Shadow" stepped on the fire with four hooves, and then
Rushed out of the ant pile.
The young man on horseback shouted loudly: "There are too many ants. The first plan failed, so we will implement the second plan." After that, he took the lead, pulled the elf maid up halfway, and rushed towards the underground cemetery area.
