Chapter 44: Mara, the Queen of Ants
The earth shook and the mountains shook, the rivers and lakes surged, and the whole of Anduma seemed to have come to an end, and there was a scene of destruction everywhere.
Human beings are afraid when faced with unknown disasters, because the unknown means that they cannot deal with it. Courage has the most direct relationship with knowledge and ability, so when an unknown disaster strikes, anyone will be afraid.
Even if he was killed by more than a thousand colleagues in half an hour, he didn't have any fear, but the guards were scared at this time. The formation was not formed, the army was not formed, everyone only looked around in dazed and fearful, and some warriors simply crouched down with their shields in their hands, seeking a little comfort in the undulating ground that made it impossible to stand firmly.
The guards outside were miserable, and the survivors in the branch were not having a good time.
It's not that there are no earthquakes in the desert, but most of them occur deep in the desert, and it's almost impossible for an earthquake to occur in a large oasis like Anduma. In fact, thousands of years have passed since the founding of the city of Anduma, but there has never been a record of earthquakes. So a lot of Andumans don't even know that there is such a thing as an earthquake.
Without this concept, the building naturally had no earthquake-proof function, and under the violent earthquake, more than a dozen large and small houses of the branch collapsed in half.
The only fortunate thing was that because there were too many injured people, the room couldn't be crowded, so all the injured were arranged in the courtyard, and instead the medicine and some doctors who dispensed the medicine were arranged in the room. Half of the house collapsed, and the original wounded did not die, but more than 30 doctors were buried in half, and more than 20 nurses were put in.
When the shaking finally stopped, the injured who could still move all jumped up and rushed to save people.
The Metropolitan Guards outside don't have the heart to fight now, and the only ones who can fight seriously in the face of natural disasters are robots, and the people of the Metropolitan Guards are not robots, they don't know what happened, but they know that Anduma has suffered a greater disaster than the war, so where do they still have the heart to fight? Not to mention the fact that many of their colleagues are still buried in the collapsed houses on both sides of the street.
"Help!" An officer didn't care about anything else and jumped out to direct the rescue work.
Jeffrey's head was hit by a stone and his eyes were half bloody, he didn't care, he staggered out of the yard, and shouted at the people of the Metropolitan Guard: "You don't need so many people outside, come in and help save people." Those are healers. And all the injured you rescued were sent over for unified treatment! ”
The officers of the Metropolitan Guards were a little overwhelmed. I was trying my best just now, why did I start helping each other now? That's a quick transition.
"What are you hesitating about? Don't you see that it's a natural disaster now? Let me tell you, there is an ancient demon beast under Anduma, this demon beast has been resurrected now, we have to fight back and forth by ourselves, just wait for it to become food for the demon beast together. Look at the current situation, if you still want to live, hurry up and help! Jeffrey yelled.
The officers of the Metropolitan Guard finally came to their senses, and when they thought about Jeffrey's words, they felt that they made sense. It is true that they were sent out to attack the branch, but it also depends on the time, at this time the other party throws an olive branch, do they still have to kill with a clear conscience?
"Hurry up, save people, save people!" The officer figured it out. What mission, what military order, let's talk about it when everyone survives the disaster.
After Tang Dou confirmed that his family was fine, he comforted the frightened little Lori, and then stuffed her into Ah Bao's arms: "I'm going to go to District 1 to have a look, ancient demon beasts are not easy to deal with." If that demon beast comes out and wants to kill, then we can only run as far as we can! You stay here and save more people, you know? If we can save one more person now, we will have a better chance even if we have to run after that! ”
Sha Yunyue naturally won't have any opinions, although Chihuo is not very happy, but she won't object to Tang Dou's intentions, little Lori is the most well-behaved, what Tang Dou says is what, so the three apprentices and a fat panda have no opinion. Honestly stay in the branch to save people.
Tang Dou explained a few more words to Minos, mainly in the process of saving people, don't forget to prepare for retreat, who knows what the demon beast that escaped will do?
Minos was not stupid, so he naturally nodded in response.
Tang Dou rushed towards District 1 at this time. His speed was very fast, but he had already arrived in the second district in a few minutes, and when he passed through the second district, he saw the battlefield of the army of the HRE Kingdom and the private army of the nobles, and he didn't know what was happening, the entire battlefield could not see anything except the ruins, and the corpses and blood were all gone.
"No wonder it's saturated so quickly. Swallow up all the two warring armies, good means. I don't know how I did it! "Tang Dou only stopped at the ruins of the battlefield for more than ten seconds before leaving, the people here were already dead, and there was nothing to see at all.
Continuing to move towards the first district, this time his goal was even more obvious, and he could see that two huge sand mountains of more than 30 meters had risen from the place where the original Duwei Mansion Mansion had risen. The quicksand was rolling on the sand mountain, and several small tornadoes of different sizes swept back and forth, and the sand and dust rolled up enveloped the entire area, if it weren't for Tang Dou's amazing eyesight as a medicine tripod, there was really no way to see the clues clearly.
When he came to the edge of District 1, Tang Dou found that the sand and dust seemed to be messy, but it was perfectly controlled, otherwise it would not be perfectly bounded by the boundary of District 1, and there was no trace of wind and no sand overflowing.
"This is the rhythm of going in and playing the dungeon. Should I go back and run away with the people now? Or do you run away with someone? Or do you run away with someone? Faced with the situation in front of him, Tang Dou really didn't want to go into the troubled waters this time.
Whether it is the Shayuan Sect or the people of Anduma, it has nothing to do with him in the end, and at this time, he can still think of taking those people from Shangxiang's branch with him and escaping, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. As for the whole of Anduma, he really can't do it.
"Okay, that's such a happy decision, I'll go back now. Don't cause any trouble. I'll take my single-plank bridge, and it'll just cross its Yangguan Road! Tang Dou patted his head, ready to leave.
"Roar!"
A loud roar came from the dust, revealing a kind of joy for the rest of his life and a frenzy for seeing the light of day.
And with this loud roar, there was another earthquake in the entire Anduma, although it was only a dozen seconds, but from Tang Dou's point of view, he could still see that many houses had collapsed.
Anduma has a population of several million. If this demon beast breaks the seal and kills on a large scale, how many of those survivors will survive in the end?
Tang Dou wanted to leave this right and wrong, but he helplessly found that his feet seemed to have taken root and couldn't move half a minute.
"Sooner or later I will die of this problem, really, nosy things don't end well!" Tang Dou slapped himself hard, and then rushed into the dust with a sad face.
The sand and dust inside and outside are like two worlds.
From the outside, the whole area is shrouded in sand and dust, except for the two sand mountains, everything else is not real, but the strange thing is that after entering the sand and dust, everything becomes clear again, as if the sand and dust seen outside does not exist at all.
Tang Dou hid his figure as much as possible, touched the vicinity of the sand mountain, and finally saw the situation there clearly.
There is a seemingly bottomless hole between the two sand mountains, in which sand is constantly spewing out, and the sand from the sand mountain is constantly attached to the big hole.
And in this big hole, there is a huge black shadow faintly, trying to hit the invisible isolation at the entrance of the big hole-that's the seal.
Finally, a third roar that shook the entire Anduma was heard, and the invisible seal finally couldn't withstand the impact of the giant shadow, and it collapsed and shattered with a click, and the wind burst out, and the yellow sand filled the sky, and the giant shadow rushed out of the big hole.
"I'll go, this thing is already a monster!" Tang Dou covered his mouth so that he didn't let himself call out.
Breaking out of the hole was a huge ant - very large, more than ten meters long, thicker than an elephant at the waist, six barbed arthropods at least two people hugging, and six pairs of periosteal elytra on its back like sails on a long voyage!
In addition to this, the back half of the ant's body also drags a fat and large belly, which makes people know what this ant is at a glance - the queen ant.
If it's just like this, it can only be said to be a demon beast, but the key is that the hideous head of this ant sticks out a tentacle that should not belong to the ant, the tentacle is three or four meters long, and in the heart of the tentacle, it is a beautiful woman.
Tang Dou rubbed his eyes again and again, and finally made sure that he was not mistaken, there was a tentacle on the head of the huge queen ant, and the heart of the tentacle was a normal-sized human beauty. Blue eyes and red lips, black hair like a waterfall. Glamorous and abnormal, coquettish as a flower, the beauty is wearing clothes made of yellow sand, not smiling, but she has already fallen into the country.
A stunning beauty with a hideous, huge, fat queen ant, the two are simply the interpretation of "Beauty and the Beast" to the fullest, this combination of beauty and ugliness makes Tang Dou feel like "blind my dog's eyes".
"My great Lord, the great and glorious Antgod Mara, you have finally broken free from the seal! Your faithful servant offers you the most sincere blessings! Suyat appeared in front of the queen ant and threw herself to the ground in loud congratulations.
"My loyal believer, I have seen your efforts all these years, and when my light shines on the entire desert again, you will become the master of this desert!" Mara, the queen ant, has a surprisingly nice voice, and speaks like she's singing.
"My great Lord, your faithful servant will give you everything!" Suyat was so excited that he was getting high and damp, and his whole body trembled and lay in front of the queen.
"My strength has not fully recovered now, you need to find me some more high-quality sacrifices, so that I can recover all my strength as soon as possible!" The queen said again.
"Yes, my great Lord. Your faithful servant has prepared some sacrifices for you. But forgive the incompetence of your faithful servant, for the sacrifice needs to be taken by the Great Lord himself. Your faithful servant is no match for the sacrifice! Suyat replied with a sincere fear.
"It seems that the sacrifice you are talking about is me?" Another voice appeared beside Suyat with a languid and excited voice. (To be continued.) )
