Chapter 1123: The Secret of the Demon Ant
The Dune Monster also discovered the existence of Lin An and the others at this time and stopped.
Its body is quite magical, there is no difference between head and tail, just like a train, the head can be the tail, the tail can also be the head, and it completed the turn in an instant, and it seemed to move slowly and quickly towards Lin An.
Unlike the three-headed monster that Lin An had killed, the Dune Monster had no flames on it.
Lin An thought of the kind of crystallization traces it left along the way, and reminded the two Sword Saints before they flew down:
"Be careful! The sand dunes may not be the body of this god crystal monster, and the body may be hidden under the sand dunes. β
"Ha, isn't that similar to a snail!"
Worf Sword Master and Lin An's thoughts coincided, and they laughed heroically:
"Look how I knock it back to its original shape!"
He and Fanion Swordmaster flew above the sand dunes like humanoid rockets that went out.
The desert is full of sand, and the dune monster can get a constant supply of replenishment.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to kill this kind of monster that had the home advantage, such as the swamp king that Lin An encountered in the secondary plane.
However, if there is an ontology beneath the surface of the Dune Monster, that's a different story.
In nature, creatures that need bulky shells to protect themselves are usually quite weak.
The two Sword Masters had rich combat experience, and they knew the intention of Lin An's reminder, and after flying down, they attacked with their swords from a distance, not approaching at all, intending to tease the monster, maybe to see what talent the monster had.
This was a test before the official start of the war.
The dune monster was hit a few times, and the surface of the dune rolled like boiling water, but it couldn't make a sound, and the human race couldn't do anything about the scoundrels.
The battle terrain like the desert was not without advantages to Lin An and the others.
Not to mention people here, even animals are rare to see, look at how that dune monster doesn't look like it can fly, for the four of them, this dune monster is a live target.
Lin An and the others can completely let go of their hands and feet to fight, and when they are tired, they will fly up and return to the flying clouds.
The IQ of this Divine Crystal Monster was obviously far inferior to that of the Flame Corpse Witch, and it could not understand the rogue tactics of the Terrans, Master Gibran and Lin An did not make a move, and the two Sword Masters teased it a few times, and it entered a state of rage in anger.
Buzz Buzz......
The surrounding sand dunes flowed like water, and the yellow sand like huge waves was lifted dozens of feet high, and the insignificant sand suddenly turned into bullets and shot towards the two Sword Saints!
But the two Sword Masters had already taken precautions, and when the sand dunes flowed, they began to rise upward, easily reaching a height beyond the reach of the giant waves of yellow sand, causing most of the yellow sand to fall into the air.
Lin An and the others finally saw the true face of the Dune Monster at this time.
Because at the same time as the giant wave of yellow sand was lifted, the true body hidden under the sand dunes also spread its wings, and after the yellow sand fell, it still flew towards the Worf Sword Saint and them, pulling out a thinner barrier.
"It turned out to be an 'old friend'......" Lin An muttered.
It turned out to be a desert demon ant.
"That's not right! These demon ants are taken away along with the nest and they can leave the desert! Master Gibran's face turned pale.
Lin An also thought of it, and his color changed slightly.
Known as the first of the four Grim Reapers, the Desert Demon Ant is alongside the Sand Thieves, Quicksand, and Sandstorm.
They devour everything, they are especially greedy for things with energy, and the acid secreted by their mouthparts can even erode magical enchantments, and they are the natural enemies of all living things.
They have not become a pest of nature so far, because they are naturally unable to leave the desert.
When Lin An first encountered the desert demon ants, he wanted to keep some samples for research, but he was worried that there was no vessel that could trap the demon ants, and once the demon ants escaped, they would mutate in the outside environment and survive, which would bring havoc to the natural world.
Now, her fears have finally come true.
These demon ants were transformed by the Divine Crystal and moved to the edge of the desert inhabited by the human race with their nests, obviously it was impossible for them to visit in a friendly manner.
Thinking of this, Lin An said resolutely:
"We must destroy all these demon ants, and there won't be a single one left!"
Master Gibran nodded cautiously.
The threat of these demon ants is too great, even more threatening than that of the Flame Corpse Witch.
The two join the battlefield.
"Frost Mist!"
Water and fire are mutually restrained, and the spell of Frozen Mist has an effect on the Divine Crystal monster, which makes Lin An and them tried it repeatedly.
Master Gibran was reminded by Master Heinz to make preparations before departure, and brought several Frost Mist scrolls with him in the space.
After being mutated by the Divine Crystal, these desert demon ants are fiery red, and they actually have a special sense of beauty.
The white frost fog of dozens of degrees below zero enveloped a large area of demon ants that took off, and the white and red ice crystals fell, making a crackling sound like falling rain.
However, the ice crystals formed by the Frost Mist Technique are also made of energy, and the time limit for the demon ants is extremely short, and it is not even a few breaths, and the white ice crystals are gnawed out of the small holes, and the demon ants drill out.
After devouring the ice crystals, the trapped demon ants flew up again, like a red cloud, buzzing in the direction of Master Gibran.
Master Gibran frowned, not directly confronting them, and kept raising the height.
Not only him, but the two Juggernauts were doing the same thing.
The talent of the Desert Demon Ants to devour energy is too tricky, and they can only turn a handful of demon ants into annihilation powder with a single sword, and most of the energy is devoured by the demon ants to help them make up for their injuries.
Demon ants can devour energy regeneration limbs, and the divinity on their bodies is like a hot potato that cannot be lightly touched, even if they are slashed hard with a sword, the demon ants can gnaw at the sword body into potholes.
A small hole like a grain of rice was gnawed on the blade of the portable weapon, and after the two sword masters found out, they refused to let the weapon come into direct contact with the demon ants.
In fact, in this case, no matter how good an enchanted weapon is, it is no more useful than a solid fly swatter.
Fortunately, it may be that the demon ant is small, and its innate ability has not changed much, except for the mutation of the flame attribute, there is only that sand wave attack.
If it goes on like this, it's not that they're consuming demon ants, it's that demon ants are consuming them.
Unless they are willing to stay in the desert for ten days and half a month, grinding this huge ant colony to death little by little.
"This won't work, we don't have time to waste them!" Worf Swordmaster also found the crux of the problem and shouted from afar.
This is the safest battle to exterminate the Divine Crystal monster, but it is also the most depressing.
The demon ants can't threaten them, but Lin An can't do anything about the demon ants.
Fortunately, the demon ants did not improve their spiritual intelligence like the Flame Corpse Witch, although they were always unable to catch up with Lin An and the four of them, they always persevered and did not change their goals, otherwise Lin An and the others would be in big trouble.
Leaving Fanion Sword Master alone to continue to attract the hatred of the demon ants, the remaining three raised their heights, shook off the demon ants and met on the flying clouds, meditating on how to deal with the demon ants.
"These desert demon ants are so strong, if there were no natural enemies in the desert, this desert should be full of demon ants a long time ago!" Wolf Sword Saint Dao.
"Yes, yes. There is a special anteater in this desert that eats the eggs of the desert demon ants, probably eating too much, and has evolved skin that can be immune to the magic ant acid, and they are the only magic beasts that the demon ants avoid when they see them. β
Master Gibran smiled wryly:
"But do you think those anteaters are immune to these demon ants now?"
Of course not.
Even Lin An didn't dare to touch a trace of divine flames, and they didn't expect those anteaters.
"Then we can only grind a little bit?"
Worf Sword Master was very helpless, and touched his two-handed sword in distress:
"Fortunately, these demon ants are very weak, and they can still be killed with some time."
Individual?
Lin Anxin moved.
She seemed to have something in mind.
"No, the Divine Crystal monsters we encountered before were all single, why are they a group this time?"
"What's wrong?"
Worf Juggernaut is unknown:
"The divine crystal is so big, even if these demon ants can devour energy, all the energy is poured into the body of one, it will be strangled to death!"
"Not true!"
Master Gibran understood what Lin An meant:
"Even if a group of demon ants share the divine crystal, there will be a first come, first come, first come, and it is impossible for all demon ants to share the energy so evenly."
"Not bad."
Lin Andao:
"Even if it is an ordinary demon ant colony, there is a difference between the strength and weakness of the individuals in the same type of demon ants, but it is difficult for us to tell the difference. The transformation of the Demon Ants by the Divine Crystal should be more obvious, but have you noticed any exceptionally strong individuals in the colony? β
"Nope."
Worf Swordmaster had already woken up, thinking of the Flame Corpse Witch, and suddenly realized:
"In this way, the one who absorbs the divine crystal should be the queen ant!"
The Flame Witch summons the undead, the queen ant lays eggs, and the mobs they produce also have divine powers.
Lin An said: "It may also be that it was originally just an ordinary demon ant, and after absorbing the divine crystal, it was transformed into an ant queen, and then devoured the original ant colony and produced new demon ants, which can explain the phenomenon that this group of demon ants all have divinity." β
"That's right, no wonder they take their nests with them when they migrate, it must be to protect the queen!" Worf Swordsmaster slapped his thigh.
"The desert is so big, how can you just choose a demon ant?" Master Gibran looked skeptical.
Lin An said solemnly: "I also feel that something is wrong. Perhaps the Divine Crystal has a certain ability to judge, and when there is life near the landing point, the Divine Crystal will give priority to the creature as the carrier. β
"It's very likely."
"So far, we have indeed encountered more monsters than monsters."
Both Master Gibran and Worf Juggernaut agreed.
"It seems that we have found the weakness of the demon ants, and if we can kill the queen ants, these demon ants will lose their heads."
"No, we can't kill the queen ant first, otherwise the demon ants will get out of control and burrow into the depths of the desert, and we won't be able to destroy them all."
Master Gibran vetoed the Wolff Juggernaut's Tiyì:
"We should control the queen ants first, these demon ants will not be able to attack with the power of the divine crystal, and the power of the demon ants is not so strong, and we should be able to kill them with stronger spells."
Even if demon ants can devour energy, there is a limit to their ability to digest.
The four masters who are helpless against the demon ants are mainly the power of the divine crystal.
After determining the weakness of the demon ants, the three of them quickly decided on a battle plan.
