After breaking out of the desolate land of Bleeding Canyon, there was only one step away from the ruins of Silver Leaf City. But Zhou Qingfeng and others encountered greater trouble. They ran into the strength of a nest of ants.
According to Hilly's guess, these ants are half-demon species that were infected by demon blood and mutated. They are indifferent, fearless, and act in groups. They are characterized by extremely large group numbers.
The hundreds of thousands of goblins of the Magru tribe have disturbed the peace of the Black Forest. The number of these ants is definitely more than the goblins. What is even more frightening is that ants are never individual creatures, they are uniformly controlled by the queen.
In the grass, under tree roots, and in the soil, countless oversized ants were constantly emerging. They surrounded Zhou Qingfeng and the 'Octopus Head', covering all the ground within sight.
"These are acidophilic ants." 'Jiying'' voice came silently in the master-servant contract, "They have acid glands in their bodies that can secrete and store strong acids. Acid is their weapon, which is as useful as their powerful jaws.
."
The large ants surrounding them gathered more and more. Zhou Qingfeng and others did not dare to act rashly. The surrounding ants compressed them within a ten-meter diameter range and did not take any further action.
On the other hand, the 'Octopus Head' that caught up shook its tentacles and shouted: "Damn ants, those humans should die by my hands."
The undead undead monsters were followed by many powerful undead ones. They chased up from the canyon without thinking and directly trampled on the ants on the outside. A fight broke out between the two sides.
A flying ant hovered above Zhou Qingfeng's head, and a message came from its dancing tentacles, "Humans, you have broken into the country of acidophilic ants. Any intruder is a prisoner. You will either be imprisoned in the ant nest or we will
Devour.”
Xili patted Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder and whispered: "This is the queen's spiritual connection. Killing this flying ant is useless. I'm afraid the ants' ideas are different from ours. I'm here to talk to them."
Zhou Qingfeng nodded, and Xili raised her head to Flying Ant and said, "I am Xili Dorn Ousriel from Silverleaf City."
The tentacles on the top of the flying ant's head danced slowly, and he answered in his mind: "According to the memory I inherited, the 'Osriel' family in Silver Leaf City has been destroyed, and there is no longer an elf who is qualified to use this surname."
Hilly's expression froze, and her originally soft and weak tone quickly became tough, "You are wrong. My name is Hilly. Dorn. Othriel. Not all members of the Othriel family are dead yet. I am still
Still alive."
The flying ant's tentacles tapped slightly, "It doesn't matter, Silver Leaf City has been destroyed, no one cares. You have broken into our territory, and now you are a prisoner."
While Xili was negotiating, Zhou Qingfeng was confronting the 'Octopus Head' that was rushing towards him. The level of this big monster was much higher, and it used powerful psychic powers. If it weren't for the 'Evil-Breaking' epee and the aluminum-magnesium alloy'
The silver shield comes with protection against evil, and he has long since been unable to hold on.
‘Octopus Head’ uses ‘Vampire Touch’, and the octopus tentacles on its head fly out without moving, forcefully absorbing Zhou Qingfeng’s life like a dancing whip.
Old Borg used 'Cure Minor Injuries' twice on Zhou Qingfeng, but could only use the few remaining scrolls later. Mondino, who was not good at melee combat, gave Zhou Qingfeng a 'false life' or an 'octopus head' from time to time.
'A' commanding the undead'.
As for Todd and Adrian, they tried their best and could only resist a few enhanced corpses.
Everyone in the expedition team was forced to retreat step by step, and no clever tricks would be of use. But they could not keep retreating because the space around them was too small.
Hilly raised her hand, and the adamantine shuttle flew out from her palm and shot into the eye socket of a ghoul, interfering with the spellcasting of the 'Octopus Head'. She calmly faced the flying ants above her head and asked:
"We are prisoners, what about those undead creatures?"
The flying ant's compound eyes turned to the undead brought by the illithids, and they also communicated with the spiritual connection to stop, "Stop, Taster Wengil. Otherwise, you will be attacked by the ant colony."
The greasy tentacles of the illithid dance wildly away from the body, always finding opportunities to avoid the 'silver shield' and heavy sword in Zhou Qingfeng's hands, sucking life from the latter. It hissed wildly, "I said,
This human must die by my hand."
Zhou Qingfeng's condition was in critical condition. Hearing the scream of 'Octopus Head', he thought he was about to die. But the acidophilic ants surrounding him suddenly became restless. They first spit out acid, and then crawled to the monster regardless of life and death.
body, biting desperately.
Several ghouls sprayed poisonous mist at Todd, and suddenly a dozen acid-loving ants crawled up on Todd's feet. These large ants were not afraid of anything, and the acid quickly corroded the leg bones of the ghouls, emitting thick white smoke.
The ghoul quickly lost sight of Todd. Although it could shake off the clinging acidophilic ants with a tap of its feet, and could easily scratch the skull of the acidophilic ants with its waving claws, the subsequent ants still crawled over and used their own
The jaws on the head grind the bones of the wight.
In the blink of an eye, several corpses were covered with acidophilic ants. Even if they kept roaring, waving, stamping, and even rolling on the ground, it was of no use until an ant crawled onto their heads.
, the acid made a hole in it.
Todd carried Adrian for several kilometers. Even though he was as strong as an ox, he was exhausted. If it weren't for the support of his will, he would have collapsed from exhaustion. The corpse fell to the ground, and he sat down on the ground...
...
'Octopus Head' was furious. However, the hovering flying ants ran straight past it and were shattered into pieces by the monster's body-protecting black mist at close range. However, the flying ants died, but 'Octopus Head' seemed to have been severely injured.
With a howl, he succumbed, and his floating body fell from the air.
Another soldier ant randomly emerged from the ant colony and shouted openly in his mind: "Wenjier, you seem to have forgotten that we acid-loving ants have the final say in this territory."
In a narrow space, 'Quick Shadow' could not sprint and could not help. After the fighting stopped, he whispered to Zhou Qingfeng: "Master, if you are going to take risks in the future, can you not drag me with you? You always encounter some
Strange enemies.
You've encountered evil gods before, this time you've either encountered thousands of undead, or mysterious monsters from purgatory, or you've encountered the Lord God of Elves, and now you've encountered a nest of ants. Even though I'm a dead horse, I can't stand it.
This kind of stimulation comes over and over again.”
Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes, too tired to speak. The Queen Ant's consciousness entered his brain again, "Human, it seems that you are the leader of these people. No matter what, you are my prisoner now. Survive or die, you
Choose one."
These words are really arrogant, but we must admit that this ant in the nest is qualified to say such things.
Zhou Qingfeng was hit by the 'vampire touch' several times in a row, and even his perfect body was gasping for air. He smiled bitterly and replied in his mind: "By imprisoning us but not killing us, you acid-loving ants have encountered some unsolvable trouble, haven't they?
"
The queen ant is hidden somewhere in the nest, but her mental power can attach to any ant in the colony. The possessed soldier ant danced its tentacles and calmly replied: "Human, you are the one who is in trouble now.
"
Is it me?
Zhou Qingfeng laughed in his heart - before I met your nest of ants, I thought it was the undead in the Bloodstream Canyon who created an unstoppable tide of monsters. But now it seems that it can drive away hundreds of thousands of goblins.
Only these ants can jump.
I don't believe you acid-loving ants haven't encountered any big trouble.
