Chapter 43: The Ant Tide (1)
"What's wrong!"
The sudden situation made the people in the valley confused for a moment, and the Great Elder ran out of his cave and shouted loudly to the poisonous dragons who were discussing below.
"I don't know, the patrol hasn't come back yet!" a poisonous dragon shook his head.
At this moment, Bi Lingxiao, who was in the form of a unicorn, flew over from the edge of the valley and landed next to the Great Elder and turned back into a human form, with a serious expression.
"The situation is not good, there is a large area of soul eaters, which are rapidly advancing towards the Poison Dragon Valley. ”
When he heard the movement, he was teaching the demon spirit with Mo Chen, and since it sounded very loud, he planned to investigate. As a result, as soon as he climbed over the towering wall of the Poison Dragon Valley, he saw a large area of black pressure as far as the eye could see, and when he looked closely, it was all Soul Eater ants!
"What! Didn't our center be wiped out by us, could it be that the side branches had come to seek revenge?" the Great Elder was shocked when he heard this. Bi Lingxiao nodded and felt that it made sense.
"It's very likely that the Soul Eaters are a very united race, and we have wiped out their centers, and it is not impossible for the other Soul Eaters to join forces to attack. ”
The Great Elder was so anxious that he spun in place, and the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together.
"How is this good! What is the size of the legion of soul eaters, and how many are they?"
"The exact number is not yet known. I only glanced at the edge of the valley, and the black pressure could not be seen at all, it must be no less than hundreds of thousands. The eldest brother went to scout, and he should bring accurate news immediately. Great Elder, let's hurry up and get ready, that group of soul thirst ants is coming with great momentum this time, and it must not be easy!"
The sudden situation caught the poisonous dragon off guard, and Bi Lingxiao couldn't put on a smiling face anymore, and said with a serious expression.
As soon as he said this, the Great Elder reacted and hurriedly summoned the nearest few members.
"Yes, yes, look at me old fool! Quick, tell all the clansmen above the middle level 2 to go to the edge of the valley and get ready, first surround the Poison Dragon Valley with poisonous mist, the larger the range, the better, go quickly! Inform the elders and the Golden Snake King, come to my stone cave to hold an emergency meeting, quick!"
When Mo Chen came back, the elders of the poisonous dragon, as well as the Golden Snake King and Bi Lingxiao, were all in the stone cave of the Great Elder. Although Bi Lingxiao didn't deliberately maintain a smiling face, he was also very calm, the Golden Snake King drank with disdain on his face, and the elders of the poisonous dragon all had gloomy faces and nervous expressions.
"Big brother, how's it going?"
Seeing Mo Chen come in, Bi Lingxiao stood up.
"It's fierce, and it's weird. Mo Chen came to the seat next to Bi Lingxiao and sat down, looking a little puzzled.
"Brother Mo, what can you detect?" the fifth elder, who was a woman, was anxious and hurriedly asked.
"It's the Soul Eaters who are coming. They converged from all directions, and their leaders were so powerful that from the air they looked like a carpet covering all the crevices. I flew half a mile, and there was no end in sight to the dense crowd, and when I came back, there were still countless soul eaters joining in from all directions, according to this calculation, at least no less than a million, and ......"
Mo Chen frowned when he said this.
"And I found that there are at least 3 of them who have reached the first order, 7 of them have reached the second order, and there is one that looks bigger than those second-order soul ants, and I can't judge his rank, but at least one order higher than me!"
As soon as these words came out, the Poison Dragon Elders were taken aback.
"What! Isn't there only a second-order ant king of the Soul Eater Ant, and it has been wiped out by us!"
"Yes, but there are indeed so many Soul Eaters above the first level, I can't be mistaken. In addition, according to my estimates, there are about 100,000 high-level soul-loving ants, more than 300,000 medium-level ants, and the rest are all low-level 2nd stage or above. Mo Chen nodded with a serious expression, and the Great Elder's face suddenly became very ugly.
"With such a large number, even with all of you in the Red Flame Golden Scale Snake and your friends in the Demon Realm, it is very difficult to destroy them all!
Indeed, while the Poison Dragons are slightly superior in race and are full of masters, the Soul Eaters are also poisons, and the Poison Dragon's terrifying poison is slightly inferior to them. What's more, the number of poisonous dragons is scarce, even if there are many masters, but in the face of the army of soul devouring ants that almost covers half of the abyss, even if ten three elders are here, I am afraid that they will not be able to wipe out all of them, and one of them may die due to exhaustion if they are not careful. Soul Eaters can devour souls, and their fangs won't miss a chance.
Zi Songlin and the others are still in retreat, and even the slightest disturbance may go crazy, let alone go out of the pass to participate in the war. This situation can be described as extremely dangerous, and Bi Lingxiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought. However, the King of the Red Flame Golden Scale Serpent didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Isn't it just those bed bugs, since they dare to come, they are ready to turn into ashes and turn into fertilizer!" Jin Linfeng didn't care, his disdain made the poisonous dragon elders shake their heads frequently.
"Hey, Golden Snake King, all the members of our Poison Dragon Clan add up to more than a thousand, most of them are of the middle class, facing the army of Soul Eaters is simply a mantis arm! Besides, no matter how strong the Red Flame Golden Scale Snake Clan is, there are only 12 of you!" the second elder frowned. "But how come the Soul Eater Clan has so many strong people in just a few months?"
"But a few 1st and 2nd order small things, even if there are only 6th order ones, what are you afraid of?"
Jin Linfeng sneered. Although the members of the Red Flame Golden Scale Snake are scarce, they are all above the extreme wall, and they have been baptized by the water element before, and their level has been greatly improved, so they naturally look down on these low-level reptiles.
"Although the essence is not much expensive, it must also be if the soldiers are good enough. Now that the number of the two parties is so disparity, everyone should understand the truth of the grasshopper shaking the tree. And I think that the anthill of Soul Soul Mountain may not be the real core of the Soul Eater Ant Clan. Bi Lingxiao said. "The ant clan usually has only one king, and perhaps the anthill of the Soul Eater Mountain that we have eliminated is not the king's lair, but just a stronghold of all the soul thirsty ant networks. ”
"You mean, the anthill of Soul Thirst Mountain is not the real center, but there is indeed a second-order Soul Thirst Ant King in there!" " The elders of the poisonous dragon looked at each other, all puzzled.
"It's not easy for Soul Eaters to have a second-order king as a high-ranking monster, but we have overlooked one thing, that is, there are nests of Soul Eaters everywhere in the entire abyss. Bi Lingxiao pondered, "The abyss is so big, the Poison Dragon Valley is still on the edge, and there is certainly not much information that can be detected. In my opinion, the ant nest in Soul Thirst Mountain is only a part of the huge soul thirst ant family, and the manager of this part is the second-order ant king. The 3 first-order soul-loving ants and the 7 second-order soul-loving ants detected by the eldest brother must be the managers of the other ten strongholds, and the soul-hungry ants that are higher in rank than the eldest brother, I think, should be the real king of the soul-loving ant clan, or it can be called the ant emperor. ”
"This ......"
After hearing Bi Lingxiao's statement, the elders of the poisonous dragon were all shocked, looked at each other, and still didn't believe it.
Hearing this, Brother Lingxiao's analysis is very reasonable. There is only such an explanation, otherwise except for the Ant Emperor, who else can control the soul-thirsty ants of the entire abyss, according to Brother Mo, those reptiles are gathered from all directions!" Jin Linfeng agreed with Bi Lingxiao's statement.
Just when everyone was worried about the sudden situation, someone suddenly stood up.
"Hey, so you little ghosts in Poison Dragon Valley don't know anything! This kind of nest of soul thirsty ants is all over the Three Realms. This creature is mutated by ordinary antbeasts under the anomalous energy of the abyss. They were not afraid of anyone at all, and there were so many of them that their ability to reproduce was so terrifying that even though the nest had expanded even beyond the abyss, the kings of the Three Realms had adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye. After all, although these creatures are numerous, most of them are in the middle and low ranks, and they can only live in dark and damp places. ”
The little old man sat cross-legged on Bi Lingxiao's shoulder again and set up a shelf.
"This group of guys is a huge individual race, with extremely strict level restrictions, and the highest level guy will become the supreme ant emperor, this kid is right. Moreover, each stronghold will be managed by a master of the clan, and these masters are the ant kings of a stronghold. ”
Di Ling's words made the Poison Dragon Elder's face suddenly turn pale.
"So, we're dealing with the Soul Eaters of the whole world?"
"That's not it, these little bug families are so big, these 10 or so strongholds should only be a part. Moreover, after expanding to the Three Realms, it was crowded out by native ants and burrowing species, but it did not reproduce to the point of flooding, but it was very rare!"
Di Ling hugged his arms and thought he was comforting each other, but he didn't expect several elders to almost faint.
So much is only part of the story, does that mean there are more to come?
The little old man was looking at the wall with a casual appearance, and the bottom of his ass suddenly emptied, and then he faced an enlarged face.
"It seems that you know a lot, why didn't you say anything about going to Soul Mountain before?"
Bi Lingxiao carried the old plant that had become fine, and he was very smiling.
The system of soul eaters is really too similar to the imperial power system in the feudal period, those ant kings are the princes and kings, the ant emperor is the emperor, and the stronghold is the fief of the princes and kings, but the soul eater ant clan is just a soldier for the whole people.
"It seems that our information network has made a mistake. But the ant colony is already in front of us, what measures can we take?! The king is in retreat, the highest level of our poisonous dragon is the second elder, it is the 6th order, the old man, the fifth elder, and the seventh elder are the 5th order, and the rest of the elders are also above the 2nd order, but even if we add the red flame golden scale snake, such a huge enemy, we have nothing to do!"
The Great Elder shook his head anxiously, sighed and slapped his legs, completely unsure of what to do.
"The three elders and Han'er are all in retreat, we have a lot less combat power, and we can't let one of the soul eaters invade the valley, otherwise once it interferes with their retreat, it will go mad at best, and at worst the soul will be scattered!" Mo Chen's face was calm.
"So, they must not be allowed to break in. ”
Throwing the Poria back, Bi Lingxiao clapped his hands and stood up.
"Great Elder, send all the poisonous dragons above the middle level to the edge of the Poison Dragon Valley, and don't leave a single gap! Use the poisonous mist to slow down the progress of the Soul Eater Ants, and remember that neither the air nor the soil is spared, the Soul Eater Ants can burrow into the ground to act. I just went out to see, there is very little vegetation around the Poison Dragon Valley, which is obviously not conducive to fire attack, and later I will go out with my eldest brother and the Red Flame Golden Scale Snake to set up, and the elders are also on the edge of the valley, to prevent the soul eaters from attacking the valley with their elemental bullets, and to pay attention to the good Ant Emperor and the ten Ant Kings. Also, assign all the low-level poisonous dragons to the stone cave where Xiaoqing and them are retreating, and if any soul thirst ants break in and kill, don't hesitate!
