The transparent gate opened, and Kangel took his grandson Basil and hid far away, fearing that leaf-gnawing ants would fly out of the greenhouse and fall on them.
Seeing that there was no way out, the three tiger brothers had no choice but to walk in with a grimace, each showing their own weapons - sharp tiger claws.
"Brother...Brother, I'm afraid!" Hu San heard the rustling sound coming from the fruit trees, and timidly grabbed Kota's soft armor back cloak.
The veins on Kota's forehead bulged, and he showed his sharp claws and bared his teeth and said: "They are just a group of bugs, what are you afraid of?"
"That's right, what's there to be afraid of?" Hu Er was at the back, his legs swinging constantly.
Li Zheng was standing at the door, giving Kanger a look and asking him to close the door.
"But I'm just afraid... Second brother, don't pull my tail, you're hurting me!" Hu San turned his head and found that Hu Er had both paws raised in front of him, not grabbing his tail.
He looked down and suddenly let out a miserable howl: "Ahhhhhh!!! Bug! The bug is biting my tail!"
This tiger howl instantly alerted all the leaf-gnawing ants in the greenhouse, and the orchards emitted a dense buzzing sound.
The next moment, densely packed leaf-gnawing ants the size of thumbs flew out waving their huge jaws, their green eyes staring at the three Khajiit brothers with a cold light.
"What do you call it? Just crush it to death and it's over!" Kota was furious and activated his genetic power to create a strong howling wind around him.
Gusts of strong wind blew through the greenhouse, and the leaf-gnawing ants flying in the air were blown away. One after another they hit the transparent greenhouse wall, making a dense crackling sound.
However, this seemingly powerful scene is not very lethal to leaf rodent ants.
The leaf-gnawing ants that hit the wall staggered and flew up again. They had adapted to the strong wind environment and rushed over in groups.
Hu San looked at it, and the hair on his body exploded. He didn't care that he still had one bitten on his tail, and ran away madly in the greenhouse, jumping up and down, causing fallen leaves to fly off the ground.
"Don't run around!" Hu Er originally stretched out his hand to crush the leaf-gnawing ant, but was led by Hu San and ran out, chasing after Hu San's tail and pounced, his eyes only had room for that ant.
Leaf-gnawing ants.
Kota: "...Two idiots!"
The leaf-gnawing ant swarm did not detect hostility in Tiger Two and Tiger Three, and ignored them, targeting the only creature present that showed murderous intent.
Buzz~
The sound of flapping wings was continuous, and the leaf-gnawing ants seemed to have received some order, and like dark clouds, they crashed into the Kota in the center of the strong wind.
"Come on! Roar~" Kotahu roared, his hands turned into claws, and he scratched the area in front of him in an unorganized manner, which really confused Li Zheng.
Damn, that’s it?
I thought how much fighting power the three tiger men with extraordinary strength could have. Looking at their ferocious looks when they robbed me, I never thought that a real fight would be worse than watching the square dances of the square aunts on the earth.
Bah!
Snapped!
Click!
Whisper, rustle, rustle...
Not to mention, when the density of the leaf-gnawing ant colony reaches a certain level, even a crazy cat like Kota can hit a few by scratching his claws...
Regardless of his unreliable fighting style, those claws are indeed extremely powerful. Any leaf-gnawing ants he accidentally hits and scratches will be separated from their corpses.
Unfortunately, there are too many leaf-gnawing ants, and no more than 12% of them can be scratched by him, so the effect is really limited.
Those leaf-gnawing ants that passed through his attack range opened their giant jaws and bit hard on the hair-covered body. As long as their giant jaws hit the target, they would clamp on tightly and not let go.
Kota could bear it at first, but when his body was empty except for his head and claws, and the rest of his body was covered with leaf-gnawing ants, he couldn't stand it anymore, slapping himself hard and running away like crazy.
"Third brother, don't run, stop!" Tiger Two was still chasing Tiger Three's tail.
"Brother, save me, I'm afraid!" Hu San ran around with his head covered. There were a few more leaf-gnawing ants on his body, and some places had been bitten and bleeding.
Kota listened to the calls from his two good-for-nothing brothers, and felt sad for a moment, with tears in his eyes.
Shall I save you?
Who can help me?
I am the worst one!
We usually stop you and prevent you from going to casinos and prostitutes. How about your fighting ability when you are rebellious?
Why can't I take it out now?
They're all in trouble, right?
Mad!
Oops~ It hurts!
My whole body hurts!
It hurts like an insect bite!
Who will save me...
Kota felt desperate. His body was covered with leaf ants, and even his most valuable soft armor had several small holes torn. The leaf ants were trying to burrow into his body like crazy.
Li Zheng stood at the door and watched with cold eyes. There were at least two to three hundred leaf-gnawing ants flying in the sky!
He glanced at Kangel coldly: "Old guy, you definitely didn't tell the truth!"
"...?" Kangel didn't understand and looked confused.
Kangel previously said that these leaf rodent ants were brought in mixed with the original plants, or they may have been framed.
It sounds reasonable. After all, at least half of the factories in this alley are botanical gardens.
It is said that colleagues are enemies, so it is reasonable to try to do something in the other party's botanical garden.
Of course, looking at the way the two Ivy Tribes are afraid of leaf ants, it is not difficult to find that the saying that Leaf Grit Ants are the nemesis of the Ivy Tribe is probably true.
But looking at the number of leaf rodent ants, Kangel would be absolutely lying if he said he only discovered leaf rodent ants in the greenhouse today!
This amount will last almost half a month at least!
Li Zheng had a stern look on his face. Kanger had discovered the existence of leaf rodent ants at least ten days ago, but did not seek help for deworming immediately.
It’s self-evident what the calculation was!
"It's true that businessmen are so profit-seeking that they even dare to raise such a nemesis. They don't even think of issuing private missions until they lose control."
Li Zheng himself also does business in the Matrix. From a businessman's perspective, leaf-gnawing ants can produce substances that accelerate plant growth, and there is nothing wrong with taking risks for the sake of profit.
But letting the danger grow to the point where it threatens you is definitely what you deserve!

Li Zheng sighed. The tiger brothers were running wild in the greenhouse. It was a fool's errand to want them to completely eliminate the leaf ants.
What's more, Li Zheng forced them to come here with the intention of giving them some suffering. Now that they have suffered enough, they can't just watch them being bitten to death by leaf-gnawing ants.
After gesturing to Kangel to open the door, Li Zheng spread a layer of low-temperature cold air in front of him and used his mental power to control it from spreading to the empty space, forming a barrier equal to the door.
The greenhouse door slowly opened, and a few leaf-gnawing ants happened to fly here. They took the opportunity to escape, but were frozen into ice blocks in the brief moment they passed the cold wall.
Insects are naturally afraid of fire, but low temperature and cold air are overwhelming to them.
Li Zheng turned his palm over, and the leaf-gnawing ants that had been frozen into ice slowly deformed before falling to the ground, squeezed into a thin needle shape, and floated again.
"You guys wait for me outside."
After informing Miriel, Li Zheng attached a layer of extreme isolation to himself and stepped into the greenhouse.
After the shaping ability was upgraded to the king level, a qualitative change occurred. The ice compressed by this ability is extremely hard, no weaker than ordinary metal materials of the same level.
Even after his mental power was greatly improved, Li Zheng directly mastered the ability to control objects from the air. The fine needles made by shaping, condensing and compressing matched perfectly, which gave Li Zheng a feeling that he was playing like an immortal.
The feeling of flying sword.
The only drawback is that his mental strength is currently only able to freely control objects within a certain range of size and weight, such as the thin needles he condensed.
The reason why it is a thin needle instead of a miniature flying sword is because when he first started exploring, he found that the shape of the needle-shaped object itself is most suitable for flying attacks, and the forced use of the sword form will affect the power and flying speed.
"If you need to show off someday, you can try 'Flying Sword'."
Li Zheng controlled eight thin leaf ant needles to quickly surround him. He stepped into the greenhouse, locked his mental power on a flying leaf ant, and the thin needle disappeared from his side.
When the needle appeared again, the locked leaf-gnawing ant seemed to have been hit by something. It was involuntarily thrown to the side and hit a fruit tree, shattering to pieces.
The thin ice needles not only have strong penetrating power, but also bring up temperatures as low as tens of degrees below zero when attacking, destroying surrounding tissues within a certain range.
Leaf-gnawing ants are not big, and the fine needles that penetrate their bodies are enough to freeze them to a crisp in an instant.
"Um?"
Li Zheng's expression changed, he raised his hand to call back the thin needle, and held it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
A small piece of the sharp needle tip was worn away in the attack just now. Although it was insignificant and difficult to see with the naked eye, it was clearly observed by Li Zheng's all-pervasive mental power.
"It's such a hard shell. Before it was frozen, its strength had already caught up with an extraordinary-grade body armor of inferior quality."
Low temperature will change the form of matter to a certain extent and even destroy its stable molecular structure, making it more fragile.
Li Zheng has mastered another piece of new knowledge, although it is of little use.
"You three, come here!"
The three Kota brothers were still jumping up and down. Li Zheng disliked them for causing leaves to fly in the greenhouse, which greatly affected his vision, so he simply asked them to come and hide by his side, which was considered a mercy.
Kota was overjoyed, and nimbly turned around and ran back, covered in blood and leaf-gnawing ants.
As soon as he arrived three meters in front of Li Zheng, he heard a dense crackle around him and sensed a dangerous aura. Kota froze there, not daring to breathe.
"Okay, you can handle the rest yourself."
A few seconds later, Li Zheng spoke again. Cota lowered his head to check and found that all the leaf-gnawing ants he was biting had been pierced through with incomparable precision, without any deviation to his body.
Cold sweat immediately ran down his back and wet his hair. Kota was extremely lucky that he had given in quickly not long ago, otherwise the bodies of the three brothers would definitely be lying in the alley outside now.
"Thank you...thank you for not killing me!"
Kota thanked him from the bottom of his heart. After all, Li Zheng wanted to kill them at that time, so it really didn't take much effort.
"Yes." Li Zheng nodded lightly and waved his hand to let him go aside.
Kota was very obedient, like a domestic cat, squatting not far from Li Zheng, picking the heads of leaf-gnawing ants that had bitten through his fur.
The frozen leaf-gnawing ants were broken into fragments by gently pinching them with hands. The extremely low temperature froze the sweat moisture in his hair, causing the fragments to stick to the hair. He could not shake them off, so he could only wait for them to slow down.
Melt slowly.
"Give you thirty seconds to call your two idiot brothers back, otherwise I will start attacking indiscriminately." Li Zheng frowned and looked at Tiger Two and Tiger Three who were still running away, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay." Kota nodded repeatedly, ignoring the leaf-gnawing ant heads that had not yet been removed from his body, and jumped up in a hurry, calling his two idiot brothers to come back.
Fortunately, although these two idiots were stupid, they were not completely stupid. After Kota shouted several times, they ran back.
Hu San was really talented. He closed his eyes and covered his head and ran away. Except for the leaf-gnawing ant on his tail at the beginning, there wasn't much on him.
However, his tail was clipped with a wound that was deep enough to show the bone. As soon as he came back, he hugged Kota and cried.
Tiger Two is much stronger, there is no problem at all on the back, all the injuries are on the front.
More than a dozen leaf-gnawing ants stung it up and down, but the bites were not very deep. After the fine needle was inserted, they all fell off after a few gentle pulls.
Then Tiger Two and Tiger Three instantly transformed into apes and caught fleas for Kota...oh no, they picked off the heads of leaf ants.
"What a living treasure."
Li Zheng looked at the tiger brothers and shook his head helplessly.
For some reason, he actually saw a bit of himself in the three brothers when he got along with Lu Li and the others.
Sure enough, if you stay around a trustworthy person for a long time, will you become heartless?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was obvious that they had just separated not long ago, and Li Zheng had already begun to miss Xiao Siyuan and the others, and he didn’t know if they had been retaliated by the Niheng players...
He had to find an opportunity to go back and take a look. He searched carefully in the mission hall today and found no mission to the matrix, which meant that such missions were very rare, hard to come by, and did not happen every day.
He controlled the eight flying needles absentmindedly, killing all the flying leaf rodent ants, and the greenhouse instantly became much cleaner.
However, there were still many worker ants hidden in the fruit trees. With the cooperation of Lao Pu and his mental power, they could not escape even if they penetrated into the tree trunks, and were nailed to death one by one by Li Zheng with fine needles.
Finally, Li Zheng discovered a nest of leaf rodent ants on a tree trunk in the center of the orchard.
This kind of ant nest is different from those common on the earth. Instead, it looks like a honeycomb and hangs upside down on the branches.
The huge ant nest was like an enlarged version of a lantern, with holes as thick as a thumb all over it. The remaining male ants seemed to sense the danger, and emerged from the holes and waved their giant jaws at Li Zheng, showing off their power, trying to scare him away.
Unfortunately, although the giant jaws of male ants are even more exaggerated and huge than those of soldier ants and worker ants, they are like silver wax spear heads and not aggressive at all.
He didn't even need a fine needle to attack. Li Zheng took out an ordinary iron ingot and tried to seduce them. However, nothing happened to the iron ingot. Instead, his jaw teeth were shattered all over the place.
After casually squeezing a few male ants to death, Li Zheng cut open the ant nest and pulled out from the inside a tender white worm that was as long and thin as a baby's arm.
This is the queen of leaf-gnawing ants. In addition to her extremely strong reproductive ability, she has no attack or defense power at all.
Once exposed, you can only be at the mercy of others.
In addition to the queen ant, Li Zheng also found about ten liters of thick dark green liquid in the ant nest.
[Leaf rodent ants induce glandular fluid
Description: The excrement of leaf rodent ants has the unique effect of accelerating plant growth. If added to the fertilizer formula, the fertilizer effect may be enhanced.
Lao Pu: You know, sometimes the enemies of other races are treasures in our eyes.】
nice one!
Li Zheng pinched the queen ant and showed an amiable smile.
This thing is simply a waste for the Tengluo tribe!
