Chapter 268 The melancholy caused by the rapid increase in strength
On October 15, the seventh day after the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and the National Day holiday, at 6 pm, the small hematite ant nest Daragu, the outer area.
Zhang Yanhang, who was sleeping on the big bed, suddenly opened a pair of confused eyes and looked straight towards the ceiling of the cave, "It's a strange ceiling again..."
Zhang Yanhang, who had just woken up, lay on the bed and relaxed for a while, then raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, "I slept for nine hours this time? It's so long..."
Zhang Yanhang felt that it was because he worked continuously for fifteen hours before going to bed that he slept for nine consecutive hours this time.
Zhang Yanhang was lying on the hot bed and was too lazy to move for a while. He was now thinking about what he needed to do next. As before, Zhang Yanhang had two options at this time. One option was to hunt monsters immediately, and the other option was to
It's to open the treasure chest.
At present, Zhang Yanhang only has the last three areas left to complete the second phase of the cleanup plan. After completing the second phase of the cleanup plan, he can go to the slot machine to draw a lottery. He is already interested in the slot machine in this hematite ant nest.
I've been craving it for a long time.
"But although the second phase of the red iron ant nest cleaning plan is about to be completed, I still want to open the treasure box now. After all, I hunted three to four thousand red iron ants before going to bed, and they dropped a lot of
There are less treasure chests. You won’t waste much time opening treasure chests anyway. It’s better to finish opening the treasure chests first and then continue hunting monsters.
Moreover, if I open the treasure chest now, I can also use this part of the treasure chest income to upgrade my skills, especially the Death Wave skill and Qiankun Wuji Gong. Upgrading these two skills can further improve my hunting efficiency, and also
It’s the so-called sharpening of one’s sword before chopping wood.”
But although on the surface Zhang Yanhang chose to open the treasure box because he wanted to improve his hunting efficiency, the real reason that prompted him to open the treasure box was very simple. It was just because he had just woken up and was too lazy to move, so he might as well take advantage of this.
It’s time to open some treasure chests and take your time.
Zhang Yanhang killed a total of more than 3,000 red iron worker ants and more than 500 red iron flying ants this time, and there were also a dozen or so scattered red iron soldier ants.
Regarding the matter of red iron soldier ants, Zhang Yanhang had not seen them at all during the second phase of the cleanup plan, except that he accidentally encountered a dozen of them during the first phase of the cleanup plan.
.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang had clearly emptied more than one-third of the entire red iron ant nest, but he only killed a dozen red iron soldier ants in total.
But this is also very normal, because the attribute list of the red iron soldier ants states that they are responsible for stationing in the inner area of the ant nest, but Zhang Yanhang stayed in the outer area of the red iron ant nest throughout the whole process. If there is an intersection between the two, it will be counterproductive
That's a weird thing.
Until now, Zhang Yanhang still hasn't figured out why a group of red iron soldier ants suddenly appeared in the outer area of the red iron ant nest. It has to be said that the movement route of this group of red iron soldier ants is really inexplicable.
"It has been twenty-four hours since I entered the hematite ant nest. Why doesn't the hematite queen seem to have any reaction?" Zhang Yanhang scanned the nearby environment with the method of seeking good luck and avoiding evil, and found that he was the one who was being manipulated before going to bed.
Cleared areas are not repopulated with red iron ants.
"If I want to besieged and killed, shouldn't the Red Iron Ant Queen send out a large number of Red Iron Ants to look for my traces at this time?" Zhang Yanhang feels that his traces should be quite obvious. After all, wherever he goes, there are Red Iron Ants everywhere.
They all just disappeared, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them.
Even to this day, Zhang Yanhang still misses the hunt the Red Iron Ant Queen conducted when he first entered the Red Iron Ant Nest. After all, if the density of monsters is high, his hunting efficiency will be correspondingly higher.
Normally it would take him six hours to hunt down more than two thousand monsters, but when the red iron ants launched a siege, Zhang Yanhang only took half an hour to kill more than two thousand red iron ants.
There is a gap of twelve times, which can be said to be quite outrageous.
Just when Zhang Yanhang was thinking about why the Red Iron Queen didn't launch a siege yet, he suddenly thought of an objective factor caused by him. It might be this objective factor that caused the Red Iron Queen not to launch a siege.
"The first time I entered the red iron ant nest, I killed five hundred red iron ants. Then when I entered the red iron ant nest for the second time, as soon as I entered the C-shaped passage, I encountered an enemy from the red iron ant nest.
The iron ants surrounded me, and I had no choice but to kill more than two thousand red iron ants.
In addition to the three to four thousand red iron ants that I just killed in order to implement the first and second phases of the red iron ant nest cleaning plan, if these are all added up, I have killed almost more than six thousand red iron ants in total.
, and the total number of red iron ants in the red iron ant nest is just over ten thousand.
That is to say, I have actually killed three-fifths of the red iron ants in the entire red iron ant nest, and with only the remaining two-fifths of the red iron ants, even if the red iron ant queen wants to carry out
The siege is also at a stage where the intention is weak..."
When he thought of this, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but feel a little sad. This was all the melancholy caused by his rapid improvement in strength. He had been looking forward to being surrounded and killed, but in the end, he was looking forward to killing all the people in the red iron ant nest.
Three-fifths of the red iron ants were killed in just a dozen hours.
"Now that the situation has developed like this, most of the sieges and so on have disappeared. Therefore, let's implement the red iron ant nest cleaning plan in a down-to-earth manner. After all, as long as we advance steadily step by step, we can completely clear out the entire
The red iron ant nest will probably only take another day at most."
The total area of the small red iron ant nest Daragu is 40 square kilometers, and Zhang Yanhang has cleared 15 square kilometers before, and now only 25 square kilometers are left, even if it still takes 40 minutes
Calculating the cleaning efficiency of one square kilometer, it only takes about sixteen hours.
However, because the density of red iron ants will definitely decrease later, Zhang Yanhang's cleaning efficiency should further increase. Logically speaking, the time required to complete the final cleaning will definitely decrease to a certain extent.
Therefore, based on this situation, Zhang Yanhang estimated that if the journey went smoothly, he might be able to completely clear out the entire hematite ant nest around one or two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
