Volume 1 What kind of school is this Chapter 90 Chidi Thousand Miles of Ant March
The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Ziyue and Hai Xin also found a place with a natural water source to stop the preservation car.
The preservation cart was completely extinguished, just like a boulder in the Outlands, and all five of them got off the cart one after another, so they could stretch a little.
Marching during the day, adjusting and resting at night, although the progress is not as fast as the starry night, but it is much safer, after all, most of the alien beasts are hunting at night, if you let the preservation car drive through the forest overnight, it will be much more dangerous than the day.
There was no fire, after all, the light and heat emitted by the fire were too conspicuous in the outer realm at night, and the lighting in the past few days and nights was lit by a weak cold light source from the solid-state energy battery that Lin Ziyue had not used in the outer realm last time.
Tonight is cloudless, and the stars in the sky can be vaguely seen through the lush branches and leaves of the forest, but unfortunately the moon star is on the back side of the sun at this time, otherwise the moonlight is bright enough.
"You say... Can we successfully deliver the Kunkun to Yuxian?" The little blue gull was already asleep in the mimic carriage at this time, and Xiao Tunan, who was sitting on the ground in the forest, suddenly said something. "Before I became an Adept, I also thought that I would come to the Outlands in the future, but what I didn't expect was that the Outlands were so big..."
By the time the time has passed midnight, it will be the fourth day of coming out, but the scenery around him seems to have not changed in the past four days. The woods that can't see the border at a glance, I don't know how far I have to go.
Originally, green was the vitality of the representative, but now in Xiao Tunan's view, green represents the dullness that cannot be seen at a glance.
Hai Xin didn't feel anything, he lay on the ground with his feet crossed: "Forget it, the huge size of the preservation car, coupled with the energy crystals and my breath, have made most of the D-class and below alien beasts stay away in advance, otherwise there will be an E-class alien beast within an average of one kilometer in the outer regions, or a D-class group within ten kilometers, and this journey will be more troublesome." ”
That's true, Lin Ziyue listened and nodded, thinking that Hu Lao also took this into account and asked Hai Xin to be the guide of this trip, these days the preservation car encountered no more than ten strange beasts that obstructed the progress, except for the two moon bears encountered today, the others were found by Hai Xin during the journey, and Lin Ziyue jumped out of the car to solve it quickly.
However, the two of them didn't kill any people along the way, except for the second day, when Helin hunted a D-class wild boar, the other beasts that stood in the way were all knocked out by the two and thrown aside.
With the city wall as the boundary, Tianxun can't receive any messages in the outer realms, and it can't be used except for timekeeping and some simple basic functions, so everyone doesn't know where they are and how far they have gone.
"Here," Hei Xin saw that Lin Ziyue called out the map, and pointed a little at will, "we can get out of this forest in four days, after leaving the forest, it will be a wasteland of almost seven days' drive, and then we will go to the sea after crossing a mountain range, and when we get to the sea, we will go to Yuxian very quickly." ”
Everyone glanced at the location marked by Hesing, which was already almost five hundred kilometers away from the castle tower, but to their slight surprise, they had not encountered any strangers or hunting teams other than them in the past three days.
If Muggie or Monette were here, they would have been ridiculed again, as Adepts, but they didn't know anything about the basic situation of the Earth's Planetary Adepts.
There are only three official outlands exits in Huayu, which are in Beicheng, northeast of Beijing City, and south of Rong City, because these three linked outlands lead to three grasslands respectively, and most of the low-level alien beasts offered by the Adeptus Association on the grasslands are located.
As for Lin Ziyue's castle tower, although they can go to the outer regions, it is not an officially certified channel, so except for some powerful high-level abilities, which require hunting some special beasts, this direction can be said to have no chance of human appearance.
Late at night, the three girls all returned to the car to rest, and Lin Ziyue and Hai Xin took turns to keep vigil in case of danger, but fortunately the night was safe.
When the time came to the sixth day in the forest, there were two more days to leave this forest, even if Helsing didn't say it, the others also noticed the difference after the sunset, not only the number of trees was much less, but even the lively sounds in the night were reduced by half.
In the evening of this day, Hai Xin, who didn't care about it, got out of the car and patrolled around, and after a round of patrol, he also became vigilant: "Linzi, I have a bad premonition, otherwise how about a detour? Go south and walk an extra 500 kilometers along the edge of the forest." ”
"I'm fine, but have you found anything?" He hadn't shown a vigilant look when he met the moon bear Hasin before, so Lin Ziyue was a little concerned, so he asked.
Hai Xin shook his head without moving, and waited until the Xiao family sisters and Zhang Jing returned to the car to rest before talking to Lin Ziyue: "About fifteen years ago, when I was still a D-class, I followed my brother to the vicinity of Yuxian once, and I also took the road of Tianshu City. ”
As he spoke, Hesin stood up and sniffed the air that seemed to smell nothing but dirt, twigs, and decay: "But it's been two days since I entered her realm, and I haven't noticed her breath. ”
"Could it be that the Flame Lion Queen you said has migrated?" Lin Ziyue asked.
Hai Xin shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the three beast clans of the lion, tiger and bear have a strong sense of leading the territory, and if it is not for the change of the environment, even if a strong enemy appears, it will only let them die in their own territory." Speaking of which, Helsin paused, "And in the wasteland adjacent to her territory, there are a large number of ant colonies, and even if the Flame Lion Queen does not hinder us, that disgusting ant colony will not be easy to deal with." ”
Thinking of this, Hai Xin still had a chill, his strength was still shallow, and under the leadership of his brother, he went all the way to the wasteland and met that group of disgusting termites, a single is only the size of a palm, and the weak ability contained in the body is almost not even a foreign beast.
However, the number of their races was too large, and even made the Helsing brothers think that they were the cause of this wasteland, and they killed countless people along the way.
Lin Ziyue nodded, he had seen it on Tianxun before, the most terrifying thing in the outer region was not those high-level beasts, but the insect beasts with a huge group of races that Hai Xin said.
In the middle of the night, Hei Xin was tired so he got in the car to rest, and Lin Ziyue turned over and sat on the roof of the car, not letting his guard down at all.
However, a hundred miles away from him that he couldn't detect, with the torrent spreading out on the ground, countless big trees were falling one after another, and then turning into dust, and the alien beasts and beasts in the forest were also scattering and fleeing.
And after this torrent, there is nothing but the desolate land.
When the day dawned, the lively chirping of birds and insects at night had gradually subsided, and the forest was quiet again, except for the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.
Lin Ziyue turned the car slightly according to what Hai Xin said, and walked south, although the 500-kilometer journey would take nearly three days to complete, but for safety, even if it was delayed for a few more days, there was no problem.
Before leaving, the four of them prepared enough food in the space bracelet, and there were also birds and beasts to hunt in the outer forests, and Lin Ziyue would try to choose a place with natural water sources every day, so there was no need to worry about survival for the time being.
But the farther south he went, Helsing felt that something was wrong.
"Linzi, stop the car first. It wasn't yet noon, but it was unusually stopped by Helsing.
"What's wrong?" Sensing that the preservation car stopped, Zhang Jing and the Xiao family sisters in the mimic carriage also flew out and entered the cab.
"It's nothing, it's just that the nearby environment is a little bit different from the map, Lin Zi and I plan to go down to the neighborhood to reconnoitre, even if there is any problem, the goal of the two of us is smaller than this preservation car. As he spoke, Hai Xin and Lin Ziyue exchanged a glance and flew out.
Lin Ziyue let the three of them pay attention to themselves and followed, and the two of them moved on the canopy for a while and came to a hundred meters away. "Did you find anything?"
Lin Ziyue looked at Hai Xin, and even saw the blue tendons at the corners of his eyebrows that kept beating.
Hai Xin pulled Lin Ziyue's figure up instantly, and then he pointed to the direction in which the preservation car was going: "Look." ”
Following the direction of Hai Xin's finger, Lin Ziyue saw the wasteland in the distance, and was about to be happy, but he saw the black torrent at the junction of the wasteland and the forest, which was eating away at the forest little by little.
"Those... What is it?" Lin Ziyue's voice trembled a little, and through the amplification of the ability, he saw the composition of the torrent, which was countless black ants the size of cats and dogs, with sharp teeth and sharp claws, whether it was animals, trees or even rocks, they would smash everything in front of them, although the two places may still be dozens of kilometers apart, but Lin Ziyue seemed to be able to hear the dense sound that made people's scalps tingle.
"Marching ants should have evolved from the termites of the year. "As the second son of the wolf clan of the upper three clans, Hai Xin is definitely not as reckless as usual, but sometimes it is rare to use his brain, and at this moment he is constantly searching for countermeasures in his brain.
"If we continue to make a detour, we can avoid this colony from a hundred kilometers away, but even if we do it now, we won't be able to avoid meeting them head-on when we come back. "Marching ants are not afraid of fire and water, but they don't like the cold, and perhaps we can use this characteristic to pass through the colony." ”
Hearing what Hai Xin said, Lin Ziyue also went through his idea in his mind, there was a certain degree of feasibility, but Yu Fei had just stabilized the C-level ability realm now, and whether he could hold on to it was another question.
At this moment, a kilometer-long, more than five-meter-high wall of fire was blocked from the edge of the forest, and a giant lion slightly smaller than the moon bear appeared in the air.
Although in the eyes of the two of them, the giant lion a hundred miles away was just a small dot, but the scale of the wall of fire was enough to discern that it should be the flame lion queen in Hai Xin's mouth.
"Didn't you say that marching ants are not afraid of fire and water?Doesn't the Queen of Flame Lion know??," Lin Ziyue was a little puzzled.
Hai Xin shook his head: "I said that they are not afraid of water and fire, which means that their tribe is not afraid, marching ants are not afraid of death, and they will sacrifice part of them when they encounter water and fire. ”
But what's the use? The wall of fire was like a thin layer of paper, blocking only one moment in front of the real ocean, and the next moment, the wall of fire was extinguished, and the Flame Lion Queen seemed to let out a roar and then fled.
"How many marching ants are in this colony?" Lin Ziyue muttered as he looked at the ocean current that still didn't stop as far as he could see.
Helsing shook his head: "Hundreds of millions, billions? I think maybe the queen ant herself doesn't know how many there are." ”
