Chapter 404: Cognition

A spring composed of ant colonies, as many as a dozen streams, suddenly appeared around the sand pirates, and their location was only one or two hundred meters away from the flat ground.

The sand thieves saw the true face of the red fountain up close, and only felt cold and numb in their scalps.

Countless slap big red ants were tied into a pile, and from top to bottom, they smashed down on their heads like a tidal wave, and suddenly smashed a big gap.

The sand thieves who were hit didn't even make a sound before they were overwhelmed by the ant swarm, while the other sand thieves let out a frightened cry and turned and ran away in a frenzy.

The mentality that was defeated by Luo and them before is now worse.

There were so many ants that they gushed out from the bottom of the grassland and quickly gathered together to form a huge red carpet, chasing the sand thieves who turned and ran away.

Luo stood on the flat ground at the edge of the grassland, looking coldly at the sand thieves who were being chased and killed by the ant colony, and there was no wave in his heart.

On the way to the grassland after the sand thieves, he saw a lot of corpses that had been cut into bloody flesh, although he had known that the sand thieves were very vicious, but when he saw those corpses, he felt that he was still underestimating.

"It's a marching ant, but it's several times larger. ”

Luo looked at the red ant colony wave, his excellent eyesight could see the appearance of the ants, and he had read Lin Nie's collection, which contained an introduction to marching ants, so he could make a judgment.

A pair of protruding black eyes were pressed against the door of his head, and the two jaws kept colliding, occupying a third of the volume of his body, and they swept past the sand thieves, leaving a clean skeleton along the way.

Flesh, hair, clothes, weapons... None were left.

"Why are marching ants here?"

After Luo identified the type of ant, he was puzzled, not only was it between five and seven times larger than an ordinary marching ant, but it was even more incredible to stick to one place, which completely violated the nature of marching ants.

"Get out of here!"

The sand thieves were entangled by the marching ants one after another, wielding their blades in despair and doing useless work.

Two hundred meters was the distance they had fled to the flat ground, and although there was still a star standing there, they would rather face the star than face this terrifying number of ants.

The swing of the blade killed some of the ants, and what followed was a terrible scream that stopped abruptly.

As a bystander, Luo calmly watched this tragic scene, and there was no joy in his heart, only that this was the capital punishment that the sand thieves deserved.

The advantage of ants is that there are enough of them, and their own defense does not seem to be very good, and the sand thieves can always pull down a lot of ants with a blow from the water, and the ants that are hacked to death are actually eaten by the same kind.

Luo watched the rapid attrition of more than a thousand sand thieves, while paying attention to the actions of the ant colony, silently remembering the information he saw.

The sand thieves fled frantically, and after crossing a distance of 100 meters, they lost half of their personnel, and when they crossed to only 50 meters, they cut the number of people by half, and when they were about to reach the flat ground, there were only three or four hundred sand thieves left.

"It's been so hard for you. ”

Looking at the sand thieves who fled in embarrassment, Luo said indifferently to them, then opened the field and pushed back all the sand thieves who had finally escaped to the flat ground.

"No!"

The sand thieves flew upside down towards the ant colony, screaming hoarsely in midair, and then smashed into the colony, splashing and stopping abruptly.

In just a few blinks of an eye, three or four hundred sand thieves disappeared and disappeared into the surging red ant colony.

As a result, the more than 3,000 sand thieves brought by Geralt were all wiped out in the forbidden area.

After devouring all the sand thieves, the ants never set foot on the rocky flats, just piled up on the edge of the grassland, their tentacles kept shaking, and they quietly looked at Luo who was standing more than a meter away from them.

Luo Silent looked at the countless ants close at hand, and clearly understood why Sa Ling and they couldn't leave, there was a very aggressive marching ant colony blocking them, and they really didn't have a chance to leave.

"If you use the domain, you can ignore the ant colony and cross the grassland, but you must shrink the range, otherwise the mental power will be consumed too quickly, and you may not be able to maintain the domain before you reach the mountain road. ”

Luo thought silently.

If he wanted to leave, this ant colony really couldn't stop him, but in order to ensure that the mental power in his body could be maintained until he crossed the entire grassland, he had to shrink the scope of the field, so he couldn't bring too many people, and the people he brought with him had to have a slow speed.

The marching ant colony stared at Luo for a moment, then it faded like a tide and quickly disappeared, leaving behind a grassland where the greenery still remained, and more than a thousand human bones out of thin air.

It does not eat bones, and it will not hurt grass and its kind when marching, but if it dies, it will be ruthlessly devoured, which is a marching ant.

Law stared at the grassland that had returned to calm, then turned around for a moment and headed towards his residence.

Thousands of sand thieves swept into the city, causing rivers of blood and destruction of many buildings.

When Luo returned to his residence, Salin and the others were cleaning up the mess, moving and gathering the corpses, putting the bodies of the sand thieves in one place, and the bodies of their own people in one place.

Whether it is an oasis in the desert or an ancient city in the forbidden area, water resources are quite scarce and precious, and the blood on the stone road is not enough to be cleaned.

Those who survived were lucky enough to escape, but hundreds of their companions who had been with them day and night died with great grief.

Seeing Luo coming back, Sa Ling put down what she was doing, came to him, and asked, "Where are the sand thieves?"

"It's all swallowed by ants. Luo replied.

Sa Ling was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The right way for them to die." ”

"Hmm. Luo replied softly.

"Come and help. Sa Ling didn't ask any more questions, she knew that Luo had definitely seen the horror of the ant colony just now, and if she knew it, she would have to settle down here in the future and become one of them.

Luo also went to help carry the corpse, and used his ability to remove all the blood stained in the residence.

After a few minutes, the black smoke turned by the black cat floated from a certain direction, flew straight to Luo's location, transformed in mid-air, and turned into a black cat to shoot Luo Dang's head with a claw.

"You bastard!"

The claws can't hurt Law.

"What?" Luo looked at the black cat, a puzzled expression.

Seeing Luo Qiang, the black cat gritted its teeth and asked knowingly, "Why did you throw me out?"

Luo suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the black cat in the physical state, and said seriously: "I forgot, if I throw it again, maybe I will remember." ”

"Don't!"

As soon as the black cat's words came out, he was thrown out by Luo again, turning into a meteor and disappearing from view.

An hour later, after the efforts of the crowd, the bodies of the sand thieves were placed in one place, piled up like a hill, and their own bodies were placed side by side on the ground.

The people who lived in the area looked at the corpses all over the ground and were silent.

The old and weak women and children who came back wept silently.

This group of adventurers who used to be full of exploration spirit have long been worn away by the days of living in the forbidden area.
