40. Fire attack group ants
Little Blue asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
I shook my head and didn't answer, just turned my head to look at Phyllis and Xiao Nan's side, and soon, the box full of dragon blood was dragged to our feet.
I opened the box, and it was filled with corked glass bottles, all filled with bright red blood glowing red.
I looked up at Phyllis and asked, "Are you sure this thing burns?" ”
"Of course, if you think of a good idea, you can do it quickly."
I nodded, took a deep breath, turned to Little Blue and said, "Later, I'll throw these bottles out, and then you can set them on fire with the arrows that ignite the flames, okay?" ”
Xiao Blue also exhaled deeply, clenched his fists, and smiled: "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”
Everything is ready, it's up to me to see if it can achieve what I want.
Little Blue had already prepared the arrows, he wrapped a strip of rag torn from his clothes around the arrows, poured a little blood on the dragon, lit the flames and drew his bow and arrows, and had already prepared all the actions before shooting, just waiting for the next shot.
I took a few heavy breaths, trying to calm my pounding heart, and turned to look at the giant marching ant that was still in the distance, and with a round arm, I jerked the glass bottle out of my hand.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and all of our eyes were focused on the glass bottle in mid-air, only to see the glass bottle draw a beautiful parabola in mid-air and smash towards the giant marching ant dozens of meters away.
Little Blue shouted on the side: "Good opportunity! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a red streamer detached from Xiao Blue's hand, this streamer seemed to predict the trajectory of the glass bottle parabola, and the two streamlines were about to meet at a point in mid-air!
With the characteristic crisp sound of a hard object colliding, the arrow and the glass bottle slammed together about a meter above the head of the marching ant.
However, the arrow did not destroy the glass bottle, but after a crunch sound of collision in mid-air, both of them lost the power to fly, and the team of two-way marching ants fell away, like a stone sinking into the sea, completely motionless.
Xiao Nan tugged at my arm and asked, "Kitten, how do I feel...... As if nothing happened? ”
The rest of the people also gave me suspicious looks.
I said calmly, "Don't worry, you'll find out later." ”
Almost as soon as I finished speaking, a flame rose from the place where the glass bottle and the flaming arrow fell, and the flame completely enveloped the leading marching ant.
The giant marching ant let out a roar and jumped around in place, shaking its body in an attempt to shake off the burning dragon blood. But he didn't think about it, such an action instead transferred these burning tree dragon blood to the other marching ants, and not long after, that large area of marching ants was instantly swallowed by the raging flames.
The surrounding marching ants seemed to sense the pain cry of the giant marching ants, and began to become anxious, and the originally neatly marching team instantly became chaotic, and these smaller marching ants swarmed towards the fire as if they were not dying, and they were trying to extinguish the fire with their own bodies.
The flame is only a few tens of meters away from us, and the coverage from the flame to the present is getting wider and wider, but in half a minute, the marching ants have gone crazy to rescue the giant marching ant, causing the direction we are going, and the density of the marching ants has suddenly been reduced by half.
Such a clear situation naturally proved the success of this operation, and the trend of the giant shield cracking in front of the vehicle also slowed down suddenly, and we couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and be saved! As long as we maintain this momentum and continue, we will naturally be able to escape the pursuit of these marching ants.
I'm still throwing bottles of dragon blood in the direction of the fire, and now I just need to find a way to get out of here, and I don't have the heart to worry about how many gold coins have been thrown out in these few strokes.
As time passed, the vehicle grew farther and farther away from the fire, until I couldn't throw the dragon's blood into the fire. And at this moment, there was originally only a small pool of flames, but with my help, it has become a boundless sea of fire at this time, and countless marching ants are swarming towards the flames, and the pressure around us is getting less and less.
In front of the vehicle, the Gobi Desert has revealed its original appearance, no longer a red torrent, the desolate scene of the original yellow sand in the sky, at this moment, in our eyes, it is as kind as home.
I turned my head and looked behind me from the side of the carriage to see that the marching ants had been completely drawn by the fire, and had no time to pay attention to our side, and it was finally over.
The translucent shield summoned by Niu Kelian instantly disintegrated into a burst of silver-gray powder at this moment, and with the breeze blowing, it merged with the yellow sand in the sky.
Although the current situation has been safe, we still dare not stop, we are still rushing forward at a high speed, who knows if these marching ants will turn their heads and chase us?
We ran out of the stone chamber, and then escaped from the tracking of the marching ants, we ran for more than half an hour, although there was no pressure on the people sitting in the car, but the ants pulling the cart were exhausted, and at this moment the sun began to turn west, we found a rock mound, stopped, and decided to rest here.
Niu Kelian was already preparing to eat on the side, tossing for a morning, everyone was already hungry, and they had been bumping on the ant cart for so long, except for Niu Kelian, none of the rest of the people could afford to fight, and they were lying on the ground crookedly one by one.
After a long rest, we sat together again and decided on the direction of our next move.
Niu Kelian grabbed the slug skewers in one hand and pointed at the map with the other.
"Rock City, or Sand City, these two places are destined to not go back, not to mention the official roads along the way, let's just say that the spirit avoidance symbol on the edge of the city is estimated to have been completely destroyed by the marching ants at this moment, I think we will follow the two Blue brothers to make a detour to Rock Mound Fort, and then make plans after getting there."
On the Gobi Desert, strong winds carried wind and sand blowing past us, and the skewers in Niu Kelian's hands were stained with some shiny sand, but he didn't mind at all, and ate nearly half a slug in one bite when he handed it to his mouth.
The people around him were eating all kinds of food while listening to Niu Kelian explain the current situation.
Xiao Nan and I have just been in this world for a few days, and we don't know anything about things here, so we can only sit on the side and listen to their discussions.
After discussing for most of the day, nothing more than topics such as the destruction of the spirit symbol by the marching ants, everyone finally agreed on Niu Kelian's point of view, and went to the rock mound fort first, and then made the next step.
Niu Kelian ate the remaining slug meat in two or three times, exhaled with satisfaction, and said: "Then let's do it, everyone have a good rest tonight, and we will turn to the northeast early tomorrow morning and go to Rock Mound Fort!" ”
