Chapter 853: Strict Hierarchy
It turned out that he wanted to use the barrier of this wall of fire to make these monsters change their escape routes, so that the army of bullet ants chasing behind them could also avoid them.
That's a good idea!
And it works.
No, the monsters that had broken free from the fleeing army were running from both sides.
The zombie swarm, which was left behind by them and fell into a state of chaos, was soon overwhelmed by the torrent of bullet ants.
Even those humanoid monsters that were crowded among the zombies and didn't have time to escape were quickly surrounded by bullet ants that pounced on them.
In fact, everyone hadn't noticed that these bullet ants, which were more than a foot long and the size of a fist, immediately spewed out a large amount of green mucus from between their palates and drowned their bones after tearing off the flesh and blood of their prey.
As soon as the green slime touched the skeletons, a pale cyan smoke immediately rose.
Presumably, the corrosive nature of the slime was at work, and when the smoke cleared, they pounced again, easily crushing the bones, revealing the marrow inside.
The colony did not immediately eat the marrow inside, but reserved it for the large, winged soldier ants to enjoy.
But once the prey is those monsters, after eating their flesh and blood, they no longer touch their silver-gray bones that emit a metallic sheen.
For a moment, it was even thought that the bones were originally made of metal.
They carefully gathered the bizarre bones together and placed them neatly on the ground.
What's going on?
Soon, though, they seemed to have an answer.
It turned out that behind the army of bullet ants, there was a huge one-meter-long, fleshy-looking big guy.
It was noticed that it did not move at all, but it was not moving slowly.
It turned out that it was being carried by a colony of bullet ants that were even stronger than the soldier ants.
Queen!
And around it, there is also a group of majestic soldier ants.
Although they are far less tall than the queen ants, they are also larger than the other soldier ants.
And whether it is a double jaw or a pliers, it looks extremely sharp.
As soon as they spot the metallic skeletal remains, they immediately pounce on them, using their sharp palates, and quickly cut them through, revealing the pitch-black bone marrow inside.
These monsters are really different......
Zhang Yang guessed that they should have used the evil qi to carry out special refining.
It's just that compared to the monsters they encountered before, these monsters have not been completely refined.
If nothing else, the speed of action alone is far inferior.
Those bone marrow were exposed to the air, and the breeze caressed it, and the sweet and greasy fragrance spread.
Smelling this smell, Zhang Yang's heart sank.
He actually felt that the Jiuyang True Qi in his body was about to move!
Not only that, but the Jiuyang Inner Dan in the dantian also seemed to be stimulated, and the golden flames around it immediately burned brightly.
Zhang Yang hurriedly concentrated his energy, silently used the Jiuyang True Technique, and forcibly suppressed this restless breath.
However, he soon found that Bill and the others around him were in a trance.
Even, Sam and Lucy's grandchildren were already blind, and they kept approaching in the direction where the fragrance was wafting with stiff steps.
In just a few moments, they had already walked six or seven meters.
It was only two or three steps away from reaching the edge of the roof.
And here is cut in half, there is no block, once stepped on the air, fall on the ruins of steel bars and water conservancy below, there is no possibility of survival!
Zhang Yang didn't think much about it, one dodged, and dragged the two of them one by one.
At the same time, two strands of Jiuyang True Qi were injected into their hearts.
The two of them were shocked, and their originally distracted eyes regained their brightness.
Finding that he was only one step away from falling to the roof of the building, both grandparents and grandchildren were shocked.
"Mr. Zhang, what happened?" Sam was the first to ask.
"yes, how could we ......," Lucy asked.
"It's because of the aroma!" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
"You say the aroma controls our minds?!" Sam asked, surprised.
Lucy also looked at Zhang Yang with a look of horror.
Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes, it's that strange fragrance that is causing trouble!" ”
"That'...... So what do we do? Sam asked anxiously.
When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Bill and the others behind Zhang Yang.
Finding that they were also distracted, I couldn't help but become more worried.
"It's okay, they should be able to handle it. Now we just have to wait. Zhang Yang said with a determined face.
Wait-
Sam and Lucy obviously didn't know what Zhang Yang meant.
However, they knew in their hearts that in the face of such a situation, they could not help anything, so they simply did not say anything more.
Among the remaining four, although none of them were like Sam and Lucy, they were easily completely confused by this strange fragrance, but they also lost their minds for the time being.
Among them, Alice's situation is particularly bad.
Yang was also distracted, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was muttering.
This is not surprising.
Chu Chu didn't say anything, because of the protection of the Qiankun gourd, her influence on this strange fragrance was actually very limited.
As for Bill and Alex, because they still have some of the original power left in their bodies at the moment, they can resist the influence of this strange fragrance to a large extent.
The reason why they temporarily fell into a state of delirium was actually only because their bodies were exposed to this toxin all of a sudden, and they had not yet been able to fully adapt to it.
Sure enough, after about a minute, Bill's eyes were the first to regain a hint of clarity.
Alex, who was slightly less powerful, was a close second.
Alice, on the other hand, is always in a state of distraction, and this situation is getting worse.
"Zhang Yang, can you help Alice and let her recover her senses as soon as possible?" Chu Chu asked anxiously.
Zhang Yang shook his head: "I'm still waiting!" ”
Wait......
Chu Chu glanced at Zhang Yang with some surprise.
Why wait?
What is he waiting for?!
She originally wanted to ask a question, but when she saw Zhang Yang's confident eyes, the words came to her mouth and she swallowed them back.
I watched as the bones that had been piled up and emitted a golden luster were constantly cut and broken down by the giant soldier ants that guarded the queen ants, revealing the black bone marrow that emitted a strange fragrance.
Then, the behemoth that surrounded them ate it like a noodle sucker.
The whole process seems to be in order.
Everyone realizes that these mutated bullet ant colonies are probably even more terrifying than they imagined!
"Zhang Yang, is there no other way?" Chu Chu leaned into Zhang Yang's ear, lowered his voice and said, "I mean, is there a way to completely eliminate these guys?" ”
Zhang Yang shook his head with a wry smile, glanced at the endless army of bullet ants, and said helplessly: "There are too many of them, and if we want to eliminate them all with the strength of our few people, I'm afraid, it will be difficult." ”
"But ......"
Chu Chu wanted to speak and stopped.
Zhang Yang certainly knew what he was worried about.
Although the bullet ants are fast, they will always stop to eat their prey before moving forward, which invisibly slows them down.
Therefore, such a hunt is bound to continue for a long time.
Once these monsters get close to the blockade and lure the army of bullet ants outside, God knows what kind of disaster it will cause.
"Mr. Zhang, why don't I try it with Alex?" Bill said respectfully.
"That's right! Let's try it. Alex immediately pleaded.
"You can't move the queen ant yet." Zhang Yang waved his hand and said in a deep voice. "Why?!" Chu Chu asked.
Before Zhang Yang could explain, Alice on the side had already spoken.
She said: "Mr. Zhang should be worried that once he loses the queen ants, these bullet ants will immediately fall into a state of madness. ”
Alice said as she glanced at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang nodded: "Alice is right, this queen ant can't move for the time being." ”
Hearing this, Chu Chu seemed to realize something.
As a result, what was originally a worry immediately turned into anticipation.
She was originally very confident in Zhang Yang, but now that she heard what he said, she immediately felt a lot more relieved.
As he spoke, the vanguard of the bullet ant army had approached the wall of fire that Zhang Yang had laid with the burning zombies.
The bullet ants are highly disciplined, and they still march forward in line without hesitation in the face of the surging wall of fire in the heat wave.
As soon as those golden flames stuck to his body, they immediately burned.
Even so, the bullet ants continued to follow each other without the slightest intention of stopping.
Finally, the soldier ants behind discovered the wall of fire and immediately flapped their wings and flew high.
Immediately after, about a dozen meters behind it, a soldier ant also fluttered its wings and flew up with a huge body......
Two or three seconds later, behind the second soldier ant that flew into the air, a third one also appeared!
Then, the fourth, the fifth......
They're in-
Passing the signal?!
Finally, a giant soldier ant who was in charge of guarding around the queen got the message and quickly approached the queen.
After exchanging tentacles with each other on their foreheads, the ant flew back into the air and gave orders.
Immediately, the whole team came to an abrupt halt, halted for a moment, and then retreated like a tidal wave.
The movements are uniform, almost like a machine.
The soldier ants, who were previously responsible for transmitting the message, flapped their wings again and flew into the air.
After some reconnaissance, a new route was quickly determined.
So, under their leadership, the army split into two and pursued the fleeing monsters along both sides of the wall of fire in an orderly manner.
The whole process was as orderly as a well-trained soldier performing a square formation.
The two bullet ant colonies were like two torrents of steel, looking for the fleeing monsters to track them down.
It's just strange that the queen ant who was surrounded by the ant kept moving forward, and it didn't take much effort to reach the wall of fire......
