It took a day for the acidophilic ants to burrow into the ground, and another day to come out. They were like a torrent sweeping around, constantly sweeping the surface of the ruins of Silver Leaf City occupied by the Magru tribe. But this terrifying power was limited to
That’s it.
Although the number of ant colonies is large, the space on the surface is larger. They surge like mudslides and erupt like lava, but at the end of the day, there is little room for them to use. After losing a large number of ant guards that can fly, the worker ants can only crawl around.
And soldier ants are just too slow.
More importantly, the goblins of the Magru tribe have come to their senses - the ant colonies are not scary, but a rare food. Originally, the goblins of the Magru tribe were scattered throughout the black forest. Now they just want to eat one bite.
Yes, they all ran over.
Zhou Qingfeng stood on the top of the hill turned into an ancient elf tree, looking at the goblins hunting within a radius of more than ten kilometers from a distance, and kept sighing.
Zul Grayskin returned to lead his kin again, and before leaving, he handed over part of his soul as collateral. Zhou Qingfeng simply confiscated the old goblin's soul and threw it into the belly of 'Swift Shadow'.
The Abyss Demon Horse kept complaining about this - just throw the soul of the stinking gnome to me, aren't you afraid that I will have diarrhea?
In order to obtain a perfect body, Zhou Qingfeng agreed to complete the three tasks assigned by the goddess Angelis. The portrait task has been completed, and the next step is to exterminate the acidophilic ant group. He will definitely not be able to do it on his own, so he will support Zul Gray.
Let the goblins do the work for you.
In order to make the old goblin's work more efficient, Zhou Qingfeng even asked Sophia to forcibly link the minds of a thousand bugbear officers. Each bugbear officer would then command fifty goblin soldiers to help them conduct more effective battlefield command.
The interconnected information brings huge hunting advantages, and the acidophilic ants that emerge from the ground are immediately destroyed. The larger the area they spread, the greater the losses.
When tens of thousands of goblins and forest monsters had eaten their bellies, only two days had passed, and only half of the ant colony was left. The acidophilic ant queen finally gave in, shrank the ant colony and retreated into the underground city.
In the past two days, Zhou Qingfeng ordered Mondino, Justen and others to return to Harmony Village. Firstly, to inform the news, and secondly..., the large-scale development of Silver Leaf City can also officially begin, right?
.
Zhou Qingfeng was left with only Xili and 'Quick Shadow', plus a new ant queen who was only a few days old, and about a hundred flying ant guards controlled by the new ant queen, as well as more than 300 soldier ants, two
Thousands of worker ants.
After receiving rune transformation and control, and growing up after drinking Zhou Qingfeng's blood, this new queen ant has become very special. It is red all over, and seems particularly docile to Zhou Qingfeng, just like a pet kept by its owner, and occasionally emits
The message is like coquettishness.
Xili named the new queen ant 'Big Red', which she happily accepted, and screams of joy came from the spiritual connection. It was the small ant colony commanded by 'Big Red' that protected Zhou Qingfeng's safety.
They even built him a nest on the hills.
Based on Sophia's repeated inspections and communication with 'Big Red', it was confirmed that this new queen ant underwent a series of mutations when it was transformed by arcane runes. Simply put, one move affected the whole body.
'Big Red''s ability to control ant colonies has greatly shrunk. Compared to the current acidophilic queen who can control more than 300,000 ant colonies, its control limit is only 3,000. If there are more than 3,000 ant colonies, it will not be able to control it. Information about Sophia's control
The network is pretty much the same.
'Big Red''s intelligence has also declined. Compared with the normal queen ant who is born with extremely high intelligence, it behaves like a child. The modification of the arcane runes has caused it to fail to inherit the past memories of the ant clan, but it is more important to Zhou Qingfeng.
Others behaved extremely intimately.
This seems to be a program bug that was fixed incorrectly. I thought that a local variable was changed, but it turned out that it was a global variable. 'Big Red' did not crash on the spot, and even protected Zhou Qingfeng and others from the dungeon. This is a big deal.
Lucky.
"Oh, is it possible that I have to raise a whole village of people and a nest of ants?" Zhou Qingfeng hatched 'Big Red' as a temporary desperate move. Ordinarily, he can just let it fend for itself now. But I hope
Li firmly refused to allow it and said she would keep it.
"Acidophilic ants can grow glowing moss and underground mushrooms underground without you having to worry about feeding them. How can you bear to throw away 'Big Red' who helped you?" Xili hugged 'Big Red' like a cat.
Keep touching its back.
The two tentacles of 'Big Red' swayed back and forth, and they also made pitiful sobbing sounds in the spiritual link. It can't speak now, but it can act cute without any teacher.
Zhou Qingfeng could only sigh and mutter silently, "Why can't there be a normal person by my side?"
Dead Horse followed beside him, "Because Master, you are the most abnormal, and it is difficult for us to be normal."
Zhou Qingfeng glanced sideways and immediately lowered his head.
There was some commotion in the ant colony under the hill. The old goblin Zur Gray Skin stumbled up, holding up the skull staff with great joy, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Hugo, we have defeated those acid-loving ants. Let's kill them."
They all hurried back underground."
The goblin shaman had been vicious and vicious before, but now he was like a mangy dog with a broken back, wishing he could kneel down and lick Uncle Zhou's toes.
Zhou Qingfeng sat on a rock in the hills and was not too happy about the old goblin's battle report. "What I ask for is to eliminate the acid-loving ants, especially to kill the queen."
"But those ants are hiding underground." The old goblin also spread his hands, "Sir Hugo, we goblins are not good at fighting underground."
"Set fire, use smoke, are there no other ways?" Zhou Qingfeng opened his mouth to express his idea, "Don't tell me, you don't know these methods. Or are you saying that you don't want to move after your stomach is full, or the Maglu tribe wants to
A different person?"
No, no, no..., the old goblin shook his head repeatedly, "Of course we don't want to change our heads. Everyone should be full. In just two days, the goblins of the tribe will naturally find a way to go deep into the underground city.
."
This group of goblins has repeatedly refreshed Zhou Qingfeng's understanding of the word "weird". They really didn't want to move when they were full, so they were too lazy to continue catching ants. After two days, they were hungry, and they did not need any mobilization.
I will continue to catch ants.
"With the way you eat, more than 300,000 ants will be eaten up in a short time. Have you thought about the future?" Zhou Qingfeng asked the old goblin.
future?
This question is too philosophical...
In the Black Forest, the law of the jungle seems to be a matter of course, and it has never changed in the past few decades. Being hungry is the norm, and being full is a rare thing. Hundreds of thousands of goblins are wandering around in the Black Forest, hunting or being hunted.
It's the future.
Even goblin elites like Zul Grayskin have never considered any other options.
"There will be many changes in the Black Forest in the future. For example, many adventurers will come to explore the dungeon." Zhou Qingfeng said.
The old goblin seemed to understand, "You mean, you can no longer attack and kill outside adventurers in the future?"
No..., Zhou Qingfeng shook his head affirmatively, "There are many kinds of adventurers, some are obedient and some are disobedient. For those obedient adventurers, they will pay tolls and obey orders in a good manner.
.There are still some disobedient ones..."
"Eat them if they don't obey." The old goblin showed his fangs and rushed to answer. But he quickly asked, "How do we know whether they are obedient or not?"
"This requires some technical operations, which is not difficult to solve. What is difficult is that I want to carry out in-depth development of your place. It is not just the dungeon that can attract adventurers. In fact, the area you occupy also has many valuable products.
.
It is inconvenient for ordinary humans to come to you, so I hope you can get it for me and only sell it to me. In return, I can bring you food or medicine."
"Can you feed us hundreds of thousands of goblins?"
"Of course not. But I can help you consolidate your power."
Zhou Qingfeng's words made the old goblin stunned for a long time with no expression on his face. His ugly gray-haired head was so shocked by the suggestion that he couldn't think. "You mean... you want to do it with us."
Business?"
"Yes."
The old goblin jumped up and shouted: "Sir Hugo, I thought you were an upright person who fought against the Benn Church. But you actually want to do business with us goblins. It turns out that you are the one who hides behind the scenes, controls everything, and is the most evil.
