Chapter 242: Heavenly Crystal Ant
Celestial Crystal Ant
"Tianjing ant?what is that?" Li Qi was behind Uncle De, and he blocked part of his vision, and he didn't see the Tianjing ant that Uncle De was talking about.
He shifted his body out of the way, gasping for a moment.
In the middle of the caravan was a small cart, and behind the cart were five or six huge ants, each the size of a calf, whose whole body was like snow, and its white jade-like carapace shone with colorful light, and only the tentacles on the top of its head were blood-red.
As if smelling the breath of Li Qi and his party, the ants who were chasing after them stopped in place, about ten meters away from them, and the blood jade tentacles swept back and forth, as if they wanted to retreat, but they were reluctant.
"It looks so powerful!" With such a big backer as Uncle De behind him, Li Qi is eager to try.
He turned his face and waved the staff in his hand indiscriminately: "Uncle, how are we going to fight?"
"Fighting?" Uncle Rao is experienced and cunning, and he was also stunned by Li Qi's words: "What fighting, what fighting?"
"Tianjing ant, don't you fight? How do you fight, you say, I'll go!" Li Qi hid behind Uncle De, poked out a head, waved the staff in his hand like the wind, the kitten hid behind his shoulder, and Xiao Lan lay on top of his plush head. "Who told you to fight?" Uncle De turned his face and asked, "You haven't heard of the Heavenly Crystal Ant?"
"I haven't heard of it. Li Qi shook his head very happily: "If you don't fight, how can you kill them if you don't fight?"
"How did your senior brother teach you the common sense of the Elemental Forest?"
"They?" Li Qi paused for a moment, instantly changed his expression of bitterness and hatred, and wiped his tears as he spoke: "They know to bully me all day long, I am soft-spoken, I can only endure hardship, now it's good, they don't even want me, my life is miserable!~"
Uncle De's head was full of black lines: "Okay, okay, stop, stop!"
Li Qi instantly put away that look, his eyes widened, and he looked at Uncle De with a curious baby.
Uncle De sighed helplessly and explained to him: "The Tianjing ant is like a jade, likes to eat space elements, has third-order strength when it becomes an adult, and likes to fight in groups the most, its excrement is called Tianjing, which is an excellent material for refining the forbidden ring, which is very rare, and the average adventurer sees that they secretly follow it to its lair and steal Tianjing, and will not do things like killing chickens and taking eggs." ”
"What about them?" Li Qi set his eyes on the crawling goblin caravan.
"They're just afraid that they were discovered by the Celestial Crystal Ants when they were stealing excrement. Uncle De looked at it carefully: "No wonder, they are all third-order professionals, no wonder the Tianjing ants are chasing after them." As he spoke, the goblin with the square hat had already run in front of the earth armor dragon: "Senior, senior, help, senior." ”
"Stand in the back and leave it to me. "Uncle De seems to be kind to these goblins.
The group of goblins nodded their heads and hid behind the earth-armored dragons in great embarrassment.
Uncle De swung his giant sword and jumped to the ground, and the ground seemed to tremble twice.
The six-headed Sky Crystal Ants seemed to have the intention of retreating, and Uncle De was even more imposing, and the beast let out a roar, and the mountain-like momentum pressed towards them heavily.
The Celestial Crystal Ant seemed to be frightened, and the blood jade tentacles touched each other twice, then turned their heads and ran.
Uncle De turned his head and hurriedly said, "Wait here, form a battle formation, and I'll be back in a moment!"
Before they could speak, the rabbit fell, and a few flickers were gone.
Those who stayed behind did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly built a defensive formation with the earth armor dragon as the defensive line.
These combinations were all well-trained, and Li Qi could only add to the chaos when he entered, and he turned his gaze to the goblins who had just come over rather boredly. Up close, the goblins' skin didn't seem to be smooth, full of folds stacked on top of each other, loose and loose, and with the pointed nose on the face, it really didn't look very pleasant.
But Li Qi felt very comfortable when he saw it, and those goblins seemed to have a kind aura born with them, which made people can't help but want to get closer.
"You guys, from that city, how did you come here?" Li Qi hesitated for a while, jumped off the earth armor dragon, and slipped to their side.
The goblin with the square hat was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, realizing that Li Qi was talking to them, and hurriedly replied: "We are merchants in Qingqiu City, and we are going to go to Falling Snow City to do some business, but we didn't expect to meet these Heavenly Crystal Ants halfway, and we were greedy for a while, so we ......"
"Qingqiu City?" Li Qi always felt as if he had heard it somewhere: "Is Qingqiu City going to Falling Snow City also this way?"
"What! isn't that the way?" the goblin with the square hat was shocked.
"This ...... Don't be surprised, I just casually asked...... "Li Qi Khan, what kind of ears are these, can't you tell the difference between rhetorical questions and question sentences?"
After going back and forth, Li Qi also knew a rough idea, the goblin merchant led by him was called Aturu, and he was the leader of an inconspicuous small tribe in the goblin clan of Qingqiu City.
Originally, they were not goblin merchants, but then they didn't know what they had done, and the city lord reclaimed the land that belonged to them, and there was no one to eat, so in desperation, they had to start trading.
The members of the team are not complicated, they are all from their tribe, but according to Li Qi, there is a goblin who doesn't seem to get along with the others.
The goblin looked much younger, with round eyes and a thin straight body, which looked like a well-educated one, but his eyes were a little glazed.
What made Li Qi feel even more strange was that this goblin seemed to have a good relationship with Arturu, and since he had a good relationship with the leading tribal leader, why wasn't he treated well by the other caravan members?
Li Qi is not a person who can hide his words, he thought so, so he asked.
Aturu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "His name is Turis, he is a descendant of an old friend of mine, his father is the goblin who made a mistake, and was executed by the city lord, and now he lives with me, but you know, because of this incident, everyone doesn't like him very much, thinking that his father is causing everyone." ”
"That's right. Li Qi looked thoughtfully, he looked at Naturis, unlike the other goblins who were frightened, he seemed to have always been that dumbfounded.
"Don't look at him like this now, he used to be an alchemical genius of our tribe. Aturu explained beside him: "It was all caused by his father's incident, look at what has become of this child." ”
Li Qi thought of himself unconsciously, and then looked at Turis's eyes, and the sympathy deepened.
A person and a goblin were chatting here, and Aturu seemed to see that this group of people did not seem to be ordinary people, and obviously had the intention of friendship, no matter what Li Qi asked, he would answer anything, and the relationship between a person and a goblin was much better.
In less than a moment, a figure jumped out of the forest, everyone was startled at first, and then found out that it was Uncle De, who had gone and returned, and the atmosphere that was still a little solemn suddenly eased.
Uncle De is like a needle that fixes the sea, when he is not there, everyone has no idea what to do in their hearts, but now that he is back, he naturally relaxes.
"Uncle De, what did you find?" Xue Yan naturally knew Tianjing Ant, and as soon as Uncle De came back, she couldn't wait to ask.
"I haven't found Tianjing, but I know the location of their nest, and when I go back, I will find a way to get them back to Snow City, and when the time comes, I won't worry about not having Tianjing. Uncle De's expression was obviously very satisfied.
"I've seen a benefactor!" As he spoke, Aturu and a group of goblins had already greeted him.
Naturally, there was a burst of greetings, clichés, and Li Qi was not interested, so he climbed back to the earth armor dragon early, and there was nothing to do, and he had to be vigilant, and he couldn't practice meditation casually.
After thinking about it, he took out the "Detailed Explanation of the Magic Array", ready to take a look at what the magic array behind the Yuehua Crimson Light Array was.
However, Xue Yan was very interested in the obvious alchemy items sold by the goblin merchants, and pestered Xue Yu to buy her a few.
Aturu can also be a goblin, while confiscating the money, while asking if he can go to Snow City with them, with their strength, the merchant is tantamount to playing with fire, it is already a blessing to be able to come here, and finally met a seemingly kind human team, naturally want to take a ride.
Uncle De naturally had no objections, and the group of goblins just half-hitched towards Falling Snow City.
Seeing the goblin, Li Qi's curiosity was also satisfied, and his mind slowly immersed himself in the detailed explanation of the magic circle.
Unexpectedly, the second page of the detailed explanation of the magic array depicts not a complete magic circle, but scattered and incomplete inscriptions.
Li Qi looked at it carefully for a long time, combined with the detailed explanations given by the magic circle, before he understood their purpose.
It's not that there is only one magic circle depiction technique in the whole world, after so many years, the birth of each magic array will be improved by later generations, some of these improvements are good, some are bad, but each represents a genre. On the second page, there are some improvements to the magic circle by the Star Sect.
To put it more bluntly, if the circle is compared to a car, these small means are the means of carrying on the circle.
For example, there is a paper structure that can increase the effectiveness of ordinary defensive circles by 10%, and another example is a bird-shaped structure that can reduce the energy required by the circle.
Including the bond-shaped structure that Li Qi used in the compound magic last time, there is also an explanation in it.
After Li Qi understood, he immediately began to drool, these are all good things, such as the kind of paper structure, which increases the effect of the defensive circle by ten percent, at first glance, it is inconspicuous, but it is implemented, and sometimes it is used to save lives.
He was excited, and with the previous study of Purple Fire Crystal's understanding of the lock structure, he soon became addicted to this wonderful world.
