Chapter 352: Horror Ant Colony

It didn't end there, the gathered ants began to gather along the place where the bones were buried, and then began to dig incessantly.

In the dim light, although their movements could not be seen clearly, a few small piles of dirt could be seen gradually appearing on the edge of the pit, higher and higher.

About a quarter of an hour later, next to the pit that had been dug before, a circle of earth was piled up again. The ants didn't seem to get what they wanted, and once again they dug frantically down.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the ants began to get restless. At this moment, many flying ants began to appear in the air, gathering from all directions of the beast's den. The flying ants began to search around the pit that had been dug by the coil.

The result of the search is still nothing.

In a few moments, a terrifying scene happened in front of the three of them.

I saw that these flying ants began to gather in the air, and then flew around, as if they were looking for something.

Soon, they flew in the direction of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. At the same time, the countless ants on the ground also converged in the direction of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.

"Will the Gu worms we released before be okay?" Pan Li asked.

"Not yet, but they'll eat it soon. As long as they have eaten up the snakes in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave and have not found new bones of the divine beasts, then the Gu refining will really begin. And it is also a Gu refining with the extreme number of Gu worms. Before, I had always wondered why there were so few bones of the divine beasts here, and most of them had been devoured by these ants. Master Wu'an explained.

"Shall we take the opportunity to leave and go back to the cave before we make plans?" Xiao Yao asked.

"It's too late, the colony is now completely out of control. As soon as we hit the ground, they will attack us, and there are also flying ants that will guide other ants crawling on the ground. So we can only wait, and we can only wait in the trees. Master Wuan said.

"As long as you don't land on the ground and don't block the way of those flying ants, it's fine, right? The master and the general are waiting here, and I will go with me to find out. Xiao Yao said to the two. With his own body at this time, it is not too difficult to do this.

"Xiao Gongzi, you have to be more careful, and when you encounter danger, climb to a taller tree." Master Wu'an instructed.

Xiao Yao nodded and signaled to the two of them, shrank his whole body, exerted force under his feet, and jumped towards a tree not far away, constantly jumping from one tree to another.

Soon, Xiao Yao came to a tree not far from the stone pillar of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, hid his body, and inquired about the situation in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.

The scene in front of him made Xiao Yao dizzy for a while, his stomach churned, he retched several times in a row, and hurriedly ran a getaway before he forcibly calmed down.

I saw that the nearly 1,000 snakes that were originally climbing on the stone pillars were all rolling and struggling on the ground at this moment, and their bodies were crawling with ants. They tried to shake off the ants from their bodies, but to no avail. The number of ants is far beyond their range.

As the ant army went forward one after another, it didn't take much effort, and the thousands of snakes all stopped struggling weakly, allowing the ants to possess and bite, waiting for death and liberation.

A few minutes later, the scene that happened in front of him once again made Xiao Yao dumbfounded.

I saw these ants digging a deep pit in the ground and pushing all the remains of the remaining snakes into the pit.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao couldn't help but think of the rotten bones of the divine beast that he had dug up before, could it be that the rotten bones buried in the pit were originally buried by these ants?

After the remains of thousands of snakes were pushed into the pit, the thrown earth was refilled into the pit and buried.

Xiao Yao finally understood why they were doing this. They gnawed on the remaining bones, so they buried them in the ground and waited for the remains to decay, and then dug them up and ate them.

After eating all the snakes on the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the ants began to crawl around, as if they were continuing to search for new prey.

Soon Xiao Yao discovered that one of the carrion Gu released by Master Wu'an had been eaten by the ant colony.

The colony did not stay near the pillars for long, and soon crawled in other directions, apparently showing no interest in the bare pillars.

When Xiao Yao saw the ant colony leaving, he immediately jumped onto a stone pillar, touched the jade backbone around his waist, and slapped it at the stone pillar with full palm strength.

The inside of these stone pillars was also very soft, but Xiao Yao was disappointed that he had not found anything resembling a jade backbone until all the upper parts of the stone pillars were broken.

Xiao Yao returned to Master Wu'an and the two, and the two of them were still standing on a big tree, and there were many fewer ant colonies on the ground, but he found that Master Wu'an's face became more solemn.

Xiao Yao told Master Wu'an everything he had just seen and wanted to hear his opinion.

After hearing this, Master Wu'an told the two of them, "If they can't find anything else that contains Gu poison, they will start refining Gu immediately." I don't know how many ants there are, but there are no fewer of them. So let's not act rashly later. As long as we stay in the trees, it's still relatively safe. ”

"And we were wrong before. Originally, I always thought that those snakes were the main Gu worms, but now it seems that they only ate the meat or wreckage of some divine beasts that the ants ate before they were stained with Gu poison, and these ants are the real Gu worms. Master Wu'an's face became more and more solemn.

The three of them chatted while paying attention to the situation on the ground. After about another stick of incense, what Master Wu'an had expected finally happened.

Ant colonies from different nests meet to bite each other and fight each other on the ground. Including those who can fly, all joined the battle.

This is a war that Xiao Yao has never seen and never imagined.

More and more ants died on the ground, but the fight continued endlessly. Xiao Yao felt that these ants seemed to be controlled by something, so he blindly fought regardless of life and death.

I don't know how long it took, but the three of them only felt backache and dazzled, and the fighting gradually stopped.

Xiao Yao looked at Master Wu'an and said, "Is it finally over?" ”

But I heard Master Wu'an deny: "Far from it, these ants are just ordinary ants, and those queens haven't appeared yet." Wait and see."

After saying that, continue to look down vigilantly.

"Once this Gu refining starts, it's hard to stop. Because once terminated, all the Gu worms will die, so the Gu worms will choose to continue devouring according to their instincts. Master Wuan added.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the ground was lively again. Countless black ants began to flock and crawl out of the ground one by one.

These queens are generally large and difficult to move on their own. The queens climbed to the ground and immediately began devouring the dead ants.

As they continued to devour the corpses, their bodies began to shift from white to black.

These queens no longer devour the dead ant corpses alone, but touch them one by one, and then touch the next one.

The corpses that had been touched by the queen ants were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye. And the ants around these queens protect them from other ants.

This lull did not last long.

After about half an hour, all the ant carcasses on the ground were turned to ashes. And these queens from different ant colonies started a new round of fighting with their own ant colonies.

Ant to ant, queen to queen.

In the scuffle, more and more queens and ants gathered with the ant colony towards the place where the bones were buried at the beginning.

Near the bone pit, thousands of ant queens gathered, and in front of Xiao Yao and the others, a more fierce battle was launched.

The queens bite and devour each other, some of them can even spit smoke from their mouths, while the other queens who are wrapped in smoke become sluggish in an instant.

This kind of fighting lasted for nearly a stick of incense before it slowly stopped.

In the end, only the three largest black and white queens remained, each the size of a thumb. The strength of the three queens seemed to be equal, and they no longer continued to fight, and each lay on their stomachs.

"They're now preparing for the Advanced Condensation of Poison Marks. And it's definitely not a first-order or second-order Gu worm, they are more powerful than the second-order black snake, but now their shells block the poison lines, and they will start molting later, the most dangerous time for this kind of high-order Gu worms is when they are advanced, because at this time, they are the most unstable in controlling the Gu poison in their bodies, and they may explode and die at any time. ”

After Master Wu'an looked at the three lying on the ground, he whispered to Xiao Yao and the others.

"So what do we do next?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Such a high-level Gu worm, once the advancement is completed, the one that succeeds in the most advanced level will definitely eat the other two, and then with the extremely strong perception ability of the high-level Gu worm, it will definitely discover our existence, and then we will be even more dangerous." Master Wuan said.

"We're going to get out of here while they're advanced. As long as we stay away from here, we will be safe. Moreover, we are here to find the Divine Beast, so there is no need to clash with these Gu worms. ”

Master Wu'an thought for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to deal with them, so he decided to evacuate this place. When Xiao Yao and Pan Li heard this, they each nodded their heads, so naturally they would not have any objections. After all, what Master Wu'an said is reasonable.

"These three Gu worms are also Gu worms with at least three poisonous lines, and after they advance, they will become Gu worms with at least four poisonous lines, which is very rare outside, but it's a pity that they are naturally generated, and they can't be subdued for the time being. I had to leave for a while, and come back to deal with them when I thought of a way. If these Gu worms are allowed to run outside, it will be a disaster for our Miao Jiang. ”

After Master Wu'an finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and his face was slightly haggard.

And when Xiao Yao heard Master Wu'an say that they were at least fourth-order Gu worms, he suddenly changed his mind.

Xiao Yao wanted to see what these three queens would look like when they evolved to the end. How many steps will it eventually evolve into?

He is almost invulnerable to all poisons now, presumably these Gu insects can't help themselves, so it's better to catch them back for experiments. Use it to test your own poisonous dragon palm technique.

However, you can't expose yourself in front of the two of you that you will poison the dragon palm technique, otherwise many things will be difficult to explain. Once this matter leaks out, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. Perhaps the Church of the Poison Dragon will be the first to list itself as the number one target.

The Poison Dragon Palm Method is one of the Three Treasures of the Poison Dragon Sect, in fact, outsiders can learn it secretly.

Just when Xiao Yao hesitated, the little monkey in his arms got out of Xiao Yao's sleeve.

Even before Xiao Yao could react, the little guy rushed out directly with lightning speed.

Xiao Yao's eyes widened, and he watched the little guy reach out and grab the three queens on the ground, throw them directly into his mouth, chew them a few times like a snack, and swallow them directly.

"I" Xiao Yao's little heart contracted sharply, fluttered a few times, and stopped when he opened his mouth to speak.

At this moment, the earth began to tremble, and the surrounding stone walls continued to slide down with rubble.
