Chapter 2: Fighting wits and courage
Thirty meters below the ground where Lu Mu was, there was a huge ant nest, and the real cause of the previous wilting of the giant tree was caused by the red fire ants in this ant nest.
Originally, these red fire ants saw that the giant tree had been eaten by them and was about to wither and die, so they were ready to move and find a new tree to eat.
As a result, the appearance of Lu Mu brought a huge amount of life to the giant tree, which undoubtedly alarmed the red fire ants who were looking for a new home.
The giant tree, which they thought was on the verge of death, has come back to life!
This puzzled the queen and decided to see the giant tree coming back to life for herself.
After observing for a while, I found that although the giant tree still looked sick and dying, it still had a strong vitality in its body, and it might be able to come back to life.
Thinking of this, the queen immediately decided to recall the ants who went out, and prepared to launch an attack to plunder the huge vitality and essence of the giant tree again.
Anyway, who is not a pickle, isn't the familiar taste of the original recipe fragrant?
And Lu Mu, who was still in reverie, had already felt the movement in the ground at this meeting, after all, what was now in the body of the giant tree was a complete soul with spiritual intelligence.
When Lu Mu's spirit observed the huge ant colony, he was completely shocked.
Lu Mu swore that this was the largest ant he had ever seen in his memory, at least in the world of his previous life, the ant could not have been that big, unless it was a mutant ant made by Frankenstein.
Are these all mutations?
Each of these ants is the size of a thumb, and this dense swarm is at least a thousand.
Looking at the dense phobia of Lu Mu are all committed.
At this time, Lu Mu suddenly felt that he had found the real reason why this giant tree was withering and dying, and he dared to feel that there was such a huge ant nest underneath!
With such a large group of "vampires", it is no wonder that the thousand-year-old giant tree will wither, even if it is one or two thousand years old, it will not escape the fate of being sucked into a trunk!
Originally, Lu Mu was thinking about how to expel or eliminate this group of ants, but he was suddenly embarrassed to find that he didn't have any magic and martial arts that could be used to attack, which made Lu Mu panic.
All the martial arts in the inheritance need experience points to be drawn in the lottery, but how long has Lu Mu only been able to get the system now?
Looking at the huge army of ants that had been assembled and were approaching step by step, Lu Mu had the illusion that the thief was playing with me.
This just gave him hope, and immediately in despair, he followed and prepared to stab him.
Lu Mu was about to cry, he didn't play like this.
Even if you don't die in this catastrophe and lose half a life at most, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
Now in this situation, it is obvious that Lu Mu has been treated as a "wet nurse" by them again, the kind that can come up and take a sip anytime and anywhere.
Lu Mu thought of the picture of thousands of ants crawling densely to the roots of Lu Mu's trees to nibble and even climb to the trees to eat, and suddenly felt that life was better than death.
The distance of thirty meters was quickly crossed by the ant army, and under the orders of the queen ant, the huge red fire ant colony launched the first wave of attacks.
The biggest advantage of the red fire ant is its mouthparts, which are extremely sharp and can easily break through the surface of food.
At this time, a swarm of ants swarmed up to the roots of the tree, and then used their sharp mouthparts to break through the surface of the roots, and began to skillfully absorb the essence.
Lu Mu will finally understand what it is like to be bitten by ants, it is not very painful, it is a little itchy, but this is just the feeling of one, the problem is that there are thousands of them now, so many have been biting, Lu Mu is now eager to cut off the root of the tree that was gnawed.
But it didn't work to cut it off, their target was still themselves, and the roots were just their appetizers.
Time passed little by little, and most of the roots of the land wood were also decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Lu Mu was completely panicked at this time, and the next step was to start eating his body!
Just when Lu Mu panicked, the spirit seed once again exuded a huge vitality, ready to repair the gnawed roots.
Obviously, Lu Mu is now at a moment of extreme danger to his life.
If the spirit seed has an expression, it is estimated that it will be disgusted, and this host will be too good at death!
And when Lu Mu felt this vitality, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of how to solve the current crisis.
But Lu Mu wasn't sure if this method was useful, after all, it was just a conjecture and needed to be tested by practice.
Lu Mu controlled this vitality and came to the root of the tree, and at this time there were already many ants climbing up.
Seeing this, Lu Mu immediately manipulated a part of the abundant vitality flowing at the roots of the tree, causing the ants that had been climbing up to stop and suck the roots again.
Just when the ants were sucking, Lu Mu immediately increased the dose and transported the huge vitality into the ants through the ant's mouthparts.
"Bang bang bang!"
Sure enough, one by one, the ants that sucked it, their bodies were instantly swollen, and then they reached the limit, and finally exploded directly!
"Ding~ XP increased by 0.1. ”
Huh?
Lu Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard the prompt sound of the system, and then remembered that the system has hidden rules, which will only be activated when certain conditions are triggered.
Obviously, just now Lu Mu has triggered the condition by using vitality to support the ants, activating a special channel for experience points to increase.
And just now, Lu Mu burst ten ants, and the experience value increased by 0.1, that is to say, this ant is 0.01 experience value!
Isn't that better than doing photosynthesis stupidly?
Suddenly, Lu Mu's eyes lit up with green light when he looked at these ants, this is all golden experience points!
Since you love to suck so much, then I'll let you suck enough, and I'll give you a perfect tonic soup!
Suddenly, the ants were overwhelmed by the huge vitality, the attack of the ant army was blocked, and the ant colony began to retreat under the order of the queen ant.
Lu Mu was immediately relieved to see this ant colony army retreating, but he knew in his heart that it wouldn't be long before these ant colonies would definitely make a comeback.
If he hadn't found a way to do it once and for all, and hadn't obtained the magic and martial arts to attack, then Lu Mu would have been harassed by these damn ants day and night, and Lu Mu knew the truth of boiling frogs in warm water better than them.
But at present, Lu Mu has no good way, he can only see how long he can last, mainly a matter of experience points.
If you have enough experience points, you can run a lottery to see if you can get something.
At this time, Lu Mu pulled out the panel:
[Host]: Lu Mu
[Species]: Evergreen (near-death)
[Realm]: Psychic (Early) (+)
[Experience Points]: 4.8 (Three hundred ants exploded, and half an hour passed)
[Cultivation Exercises]: [Daoyuan Evergreen Formula]
[Skill]: None (+)
[Number of Draws]: 0 (+)
Looking at the pitiful 4.8 experience points on the experience points, Lu Mu felt that this system was full of deep malice towards himself.
But seeing the + sign still made Lu Mu a little happy.
This + sign is where the effect of experience points is reflected, and you can increase the realm or improve the proficiency of skills or increase the number of draws by consuming a certain amount of experience points.
Now Lu Mu only has 4.8 experience points, but at the beginning of the lottery, there shouldn't be such a high experience point to redeem, so Lu Mu feels that he can afford to spend the lottery at present.
But when Lu Mu clicked on the + sign of the lottery, the prompt displayed on the panel made Lu Mu's smile suddenly freeze on his face:
Do you choose to spend 100 XP to increase your chances in the draw?
Lu Mu felt that he might have read it wrong, there should be a decimal point after 1, but after Lu Mu looked at it several times to confirm that he was not wrong, his mentality suddenly collapsed!
100 XP, this is playing me, right?
Is the start so high?
This is a pit ratio system, Lu Mu circled and forked in his heart.
The method of relying on the lottery to obtain attack spell martial arts in a short period of time suddenly failed, and Lu Mu had to continue to think of other ways to solve the problem of the ant army.
And if you continue to follow the method just now, the queen ant has already been alert, even if she stretches the roots of the tree to the ant nest and let those ants eat, but the vitality has already been used, how can she burst the ants?
What's the difference between this and giving away someone's head?
At this time, Lu Mu heard the sound of flowing water in the river, and suddenly had a plan.
If Lu Mu remembers correctly, ants should be afraid of water, although I don't know if this is the case in the other world, but it's better to try than not to try.
Lu Mu smiled in the dark, and after a long time, he controlled the vitality to make the roots of the tree grow, and then opened the passage connecting the ant's nest and the river, and suddenly the turbulent river water rushed into the channel, and then rushed downward, and finally rushed into the ant's nest.
The queen ant didn't expect Lu Mu to come up with such an insidious method, but when the river rushed in, she found out that it was too late to retreat.
"Gollum~"
The army of ants was immediately dispersed by the river, and many ants were soaked in the river, which was thirty meters underground, and it was impossible to get out for a few minutes.
Lu Mu observed the ant nest through his spirit, and when he saw the miserable appearance of the ant army, he immediately became happy, and asked you to gnaw on my roots and treat me as a "wet nurse"!
At this time, the queen ant broke a "wall" in the ant nest, and behind that "wall" was another passage to the ground, through which the river water returned to the ground, and many ants were also washed up to the ground by the river.
"It turns out that there is a backhand, count your good luck, I hope you don't come to mess with me again. ”
Lu Mu saw that a mound of earth not far from him was washed away by the river, and ants appeared on the ground one by one, and the queen ant was also inside, and immediately understood that although this ant nest was destroyed, it was still escaped by the queen ant.
Now he can't move freely at all, otherwise Lu Mu will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
In the end, the queen ant left here with the remaining ants, and before leaving, she gestured to Lu Mu a few times, probably saying that I would come back.
Lu Mu doesn't care, when this ant grows enough and then comes back, Lu Mu is estimated to have drawn the magic and martial arts of the attack, and it is not certain who will kill who at that time!
In this way, Lu Mu's first small crisis of rebirth in the other world passed safely.
