If someone did a detailed count, they would find that from the late Second Age after the Nine Xuan Heavenly Maidens blocked the catastrophe to this moment, the number of humans on the Five Continents Continent had never exceeded that of the Yuan Beasts.

Even on the continent with the largest number of humans, the number of humans in Beizhou is even smaller than that of the primordial beasts.

The only thing to be thankful for is that ninety percent of the members of the Yuan Beast are first-order Yuan Beasts, and even powerful beasts that can barely be called Yuan Beasts just now.

So what's more than a meta-beast?

There is only one answer, and that is snakes, rats, insects and ants.

People call non-elemental beast-level snakes, rats, insects and ants the four pests, disgust them, drive them away, hunt them, and fear them.

It's just that the number of these four pests is too much, especially the number of insects and ants is immeasurable, and once the number exceeds a certain level and is stimulated, then the calamity set off by these insects and ants is not worse than the tide of primordial beasts.

There is a special ant in Beizhou, the scientific name is nocturnal ant, and the folk will call it a ghost insect.

Each sturdy individual has the thickness of an adult man's index finger, and its terrifying mouthparts occupy one-third of its entire body.

In normal times, the nocturnal ant is extremely quiet, eating garbage and all kinds of carrion, and can be said to be nature's natural scavenger.

The nocturnal ant has three characteristics, one of which is pan-swarming, which is also a point that this kind of ant becomes difficult to deal with once it becomes a disaster, and the so-called pan-swarm is that the nocturnal ant will not fight between the same kind.

Regardless of whether they are separated into groups or completely unfamiliar alien species, as long as they are the same kind of nocturnal ants, they will not fight, and even if the conditions are right, they will quickly merge into a single population.

This means that once the night ants are infested, they will not have any internal consumption.

This is not visible in the beast tide, the larger the scale of the beast tide, the greater the internal consumption, the history of several recorded super-large-scale beast tides are not killed by humans, but humans did not die before the beast tide was consumed inside.

The second characteristic of the nocturnal ant is actually shared by most insect and ant creatures, that is, super reproductive ability, if a pair of nocturnal ants are put into a safe environment, they only need a year to develop a super-large population.

Ten years is enough time for them to form a catastrophic ant tide.

The third characteristic of the Night Ant is that it can become a disaster, the Night Ant is extremely quiet in its normal state, and will not fight back even if the nest is destroyed by humans.

However, as soon as they smell the scent of the Nightshade Fruit, they will go berserk, and if this rage is not stopped in time, it will soon form an ant tide.

The nocturnal ants' enthusiasm for the Nocturnal Fruit is also the reason for their name.

But the interesting thing is that the night fruit is not a natural product, but a kind of artificial material cultivated by alchemists through artificial technology, which can never survive in the natural environment, and because of its particularity, it is often cultivated as much as it wants, and it is almost impossible to see circulation in the market.

Because of this, people actually speculate that they are actually biological weapons developed by a madman before the historical record, similar to the battle insects cultivated by the insect cultivators who control poisonous insects and poisonous bees.

But this is just a guess, and no one can confirm it.

Jin Mu threw out the small bottle and contained the extract of the Night Underworld Fruit, this thing was originally the last killer weapon prepared by Fang Zhen when he went to Sunset City to save Xiao You, and then he also thought about using it once when he was in Guancheng, but in the end he didn't use it, but he didn't expect to use it here in Calamus Town in the end.

The small bottle of Night Underworld Fruit Extract was extracted from dozens of Night Underworld Fruits, don't look at only such a small bottle, but it was enough to trigger the ant tide in Calamus Town.

Nocturnal ants can be said to be found anywhere in the North Continent, they cannot survive in the environment outside the North Continent, whether it is taking the mother ant or the ant eggs, they cannot survive in the other four continents, but they are everywhere in the North Continent.

When the Dark Fruit Extract was revealed, the Night Ants in the entire town began to agitate.

The first person to notice the movement of the night ant was the previous boatman boss, he was originally a deacon disciple of the inner gate of the Fire Spirit Gate, named Zhang Quan, this time the main responsibility is to block the square mark and Jin Mu in Calamus Town, as long as it is dragged to the side of the fire spirit gate at dawn, the prepared big killing weapon will arrive, and there will be nothing to do with him at that time.

Zhang Quan thought that this was a very simple task, after all, more than 3,000 people in the entire town were actually under his control, not to mention more than 3,000 people, even more than 3,000 pigs Fang Zhen had to kill until dawn, but he couldn't imagine that Fang Zhen didn't plan to do it himself.

Zhang Quan originally hid outside the inn where Fang Zhen lived, and his purpose was to see if Fang Zhen would fight back once the fat shopkeeper of the inn attacked, if Fang Zhen had any hesitation, he would definitely be restricted, and at this time Zhang Quan could take the people and horses to rush up.

If Fang Zhen didn't have any worries about killing, then Zhang Quan would send more controlled civilians to rush forward, in short, just drag Fang Zhen down.

But just when Zhang Quan saw the thick white smoke spewing out of the inn, he felt something wrong behind him, and when he looked down, he saw a dark blue thing like stagnant water.

During the day, the ants appear reddish as if they were blood, but at night they emit a faint purplish-blue glow.

This glimmer is not noticeable when a small number of Nocturnal Ants move together, but once the number reaches a certain level, this glimmer looks like stagnant water reflecting light at night.

In the North Continent, there is a term specifically to describe this particular phenomenon: Death Waters.

It means that whenever you see such a shimmering water phenomenon, it is the time when the night ants riot, and that also means that someone will die under such a shimmering water.

"Night ant, how could this be?" Zhang Quan was taken aback, and with a loud shout, he rushed out more than ten meters away.

The current number of Night Dead Ants is not much of a threat to a psychic realm cultivator like him, he just needs to avoid it, but everyone in Beizhou knows a truth, that is, when you see a piece of shimmering water, it means that there will be more shimmering water.

Zhang Quan turned his head to look around, and sure enough, he found that these shimmering waters appeared in all directions, at first they were no more than a small piece the size of a palm, and then these shimmering waters began to gather together, forming a terrible scene that spread throughout the street.

"Ahh

When the first scream sounded, the ant plague officially began.
