Chapter 58: Trouble Bugs

Arthur: The place where they fell happened to be an ant hill.

Joan was so frightened that she directly urged the Flying Ring to flee away, while Shino grabbed Arthur and Arya one by one and flew away, and Spence flew away with Elf Ollie.

It took a few people from a distance to really see that the insect called the tooth eater by the elves was the size of a kitten raised by a human race, and it was gray-brown, with a hard shell and huge jaws, and it was covered with sharp tooth-eaters.

Countless brown tooth-eating ants are stacked on top of each other to form an anthill, which rises little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually reaches the height of the fluttering roots.

In this way, the Tootheater climbed onto the roots of the Elven Mother Tree, and the thick roots were soon covered by the Tootheaters, and then they began to bite the roots desperately, and the pale green protective magic was useless against these Tootheaters.

The Elven Mother Tree, which is regarded as a mother and god by the elves, could not withstand the constant bites of these small insects, and the appearance of its energetic roots was bitten open and chopped by sharp teeth. Moreover, the tooth eaters will not devour the fragments of their roots on the spot, but will let them fall down.

So there was a burst of green snowflakes in the air.

The above-ground Tootheater picks up the debris and drags it back to the underground nest, and with a strict division of labor, the Tooth Eater maintains almost the same organizational structure as the normal ant colony on the ground.

If the tooth eater ant is allowed to devour it continuously, it only takes one day for this ant mountain to completely swallow the exposed part of the huge roots of the elven mother tree.

Of course, after a while, the eaten roots of the Elven Mother Tree will grow again.

The elven mother tree feeds these insects while raising elves, all in order to compete for resources to survive, and it is impossible to talk about who is right and who is wrong?

Arthur: They were completely stunned by what they saw!

"Is that what you elves say there are?" Arthur, who was being carried by Shino, asked Ollie in a loud voice.

"Aren't there many of them?"

Arthur was so angry that he wanted to scold, this is definitely a language communication problem, and the ant mountain in front of him can no longer be described as a large number, but a large number!

What's more, not only the ant mountain in front of Arthur, but also two ant mountains of similar size in front of them within the sight.

"How did you do it before?"

Ollie replied originally: "We send soldiers every once in a while to clean up these insects, as long as they are limited from overflowing, they do not pose too serious a threat to the mother. These damn guys can't be killed at all, and no matter how much we spend on cleaning them up, after a while they will re-emerge and form a scale again, which is nothing more than a delay in the formation of scale. ”

Arthur asked, "Our mission this time is to clean up these insects for your elves one more time?"

Ollie nodded yes.

"Then let me try how powerful these little things really are, shall we?" Joan took the lead, throwing out two bursting fireballs from a distance.

The exploding fireball exploded on the anthill, and a dozen or so tooth-eaters in the outermost part were killed and fell off the anthill. But these few tooth-eating ants are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for this ant mountain, and the elves' task is by no means so simple.

The burst fireball didn't work, so Joan began to quickly build a magic array, and with the rapid condensation of the fire-based magic and a wave of force, a large fire cloud fell towards the ant mountain.

The sixth-level "Fire Cloud Technique" is already the strongest fire-type magic that Joan has used with her own abilities.

The clouds of fire rolled, and there was a crackling sound on the ant hill, and at the same time there was a foul smell of burning.

The fire clouds burned out, the ant mountain was scorched black, and half of the mountain was burned flat.

It's just that before Joan had time to be happy, the entire ant hill began to wriggle, and the burned and charred tooth eaters fell from the ant hill one after another, and the tooth eaters on the ground quickly replenished into the ant hill, and soon returned to their previous state.

If she continues to fight in this way, even if she exhausts her magic power, she will not be able to burn this ant mountain, and the destructive power of a sixth-level fire mage is obviously far from enough for these insects.

"You two stay away, or I'll do it. ”

Sino put Arthur and Arya back on the ground and flew over Ant Mountain again, and slashed out with a sword, and a thick condensed sword qi more than thirty meters long slashed towards Ant Mountain.

When the sword qi passed, all the tooth-devouring ants were directly crushed into pulp, and the entire ant mountain collapsed after being split by a sword.

Although Sino destroyed the ant hill with a sword, he also really stabbed the ant nest. After the collapse of the ant hill, it turned into a dense sea of ants, and they quickly found the target of the attackers, rushing towards the feet of Shino and Joan, and many even found Arthur standing further away.

One by one, the Tootheaters raised their heads and began to spray a pale green liquid at the Shino in the air. Although each tootheater sprayed very little liquid, thousands of tootheaters sprayed at the same time turned into a flood of water arrows in the sky.

Although Sino didn't know what the Tooth Eater was spraying, they didn't dare to let a drop splash on themselves, and while quickly pulling up the height, they released their talisman fighting qi to resist, and Joan next to them released a rotating fire shield.

The pale green water arrow snorted at Shino's fighting energy, quickly consuming Shino's fighting energy, and emitted a strong pungent acidic smell, and Joan's fire shield was extinguished by the water arrow almost the moment it was cast.

Arthur was frightened by the corrosive water arrows, picked up Arya and ran, and the Shino had to fly high again.

As Shino and the others began to rise, the Tooth Eaters began to stack again. But this time, instead of building a huge anthill, dozens of small but towering anthills were piled up. This has increased the height of the jet arrow, which is no longer a water arrow, and the small area of dense attacks makes the water arrow more cohesive, and it may be more appropriate to say that it is a water cannon.

Shino, and the others almost flew to the top before they completely dodged the range of these water cannons.

Now even Shino, a warrior, is starting to have a headache in front of these little insects, and it is almost impossible to easily destroy them without paying a price!

Sino and the others can at least hide in the air, and Arthur, who is running with Arya in his arms, has almost nowhere to escape. The IQ of these tooth eaters almost caught up with the monster, and they actually chased Arthur from several directions at the same time, and the most recent one quickly chased after Arthur.

In desperation, Arthur unleashed a second-level "wall of fire" with one hand to block the pursuit of the Tootheaters, but these Tootheaters actually pierced directly through the wall of fire with their hard shells.

Arthur was ruthless, and successively laid a second and third fire wall spell behind him. The tooth eater still chose to wear it hard, but when it passed through the second path, it already had a burnt smell coming from its body, and finally fell into the third wall of fire.

The tooth-eater ants that pounced on them from behind were still stubbornly choosing to pierce the wall of fire.

Arthur suddenly had an idea, took two barrels of spirits from his bracelet and smashed them into the wall of fire. The flames of the wall of fire suddenly rose to the top, and the flames spread out with the flow of alcohol, and the tootheaters who crawled into the flames did not want to climb out again!

Arthur smiled, it seems that you have to rely on fire to deal with these little bugs!
