39. A life-saving straw

There are robberies in front, chasing soldiers in the back, and marching ants are coming from all directions, and the current situation is not a word of danger that can be exhausted.

The shield summoned by Niu Kelian in front of him, although it looked as thin as a cicada's wings, did not see it crumble after a long time. Although the cracks on it are gradually increasing, they also allow us to keep moving forward at this speed, so as not to become a meal in the belly of the marching ants.

Now Niu Kelian in my eyes, just like a hidden chivalrous man, usually looks like an honest cook, don't look at him all day long without a serious mouth, but at a critical moment, it is much more useful than our people, whether it is the life experience of going out, or the calmness in the face of a crisis, which of these can be an ordinary chef?

In fact, I should have thought that the Werner Chamber of Commerce stationed in Rock City, there are only two people here, Phyllis and Niu Kelian, no matter how feared Phyllis's doom physique is, whether she is a magician or not, she is always the daughter of the Werner Chamber of Commerce, and her safety is naturally taken very seriously by the Chamber of Commerce.

She was exiled to such a ghost place where birds don't, can the Chamber of Commerce rest assured of her personal safety here? Aren't they afraid of accidents?

The only explanation is that the chamber of commerce is completely assured of the personal safety of this eldest lady, and its confidence naturally comes from the chef of the branch, Niu Kelian.

Whether it was the ability to restrain two soldiers in one move before, or the translucent barrier that he summoned now, it all proved that he was not an ordinary cook.

Niu Kelian has tried his best to avoid these marching ants from the beginning, and even hid in the stone chamber as a cocoon, instead of summoning a shield like now, and rushing out of the encirclement like a bulldozer, proving that even he himself has no faith in this shield, and watching the increasing cracks on the shield, my heart is even more anxious.

If even the well-informed Niu Kelian can't solve this crisis, wouldn't it be the end?

"If I could do magic...... Or maybe if you are more physically fit, maybe you can help now, right? ”

This thought flashed through my mind, and I knew that now was not the time to think about this, we were facing a flood of marching ants, and the most important thing now was how to break out of the encirclement and survive.

Once this shield breaks, then let's wait to die.

But what can we do?

Phyllis had used too much magic in the previous escape, even if she had rested for a while, she couldn't do it at all now, Big Blue was a lancer, if he attacked on the battlefield, he might be able to help, but in such a state of running forward, he couldn't help so much.

Now it seems that only Xiao Blue is left, from the previous battle, I found that his archery skills are good, it can be said that he has a hundred shots, but looking at the only dozen or so arrows left in his arrow basket, it is estimated that they will also be useless.

As time passed, the edge of the marching ants' ranks was close at hand, and the familiar sandstone ground was already in front of them, and it only took a few more miles to escape the encirclement and interception of the marching ants.

But at this moment, the shield has been covered with fine cracks, and it seems that it will burst at any moment, and once the shield is broken, the marching ants will stop us completely on the way forward, and once that time comes, we will die without a place to bury.

I turned my head and asked Xiao Nan, "Do you know the characteristics of marching ants?" Or their weakness? ”

Xiao Nan thought seriously for a while, and replied, "Does being afraid of fire count." ”

I shook my head helplessly, most of the insects are afraid of fire, but this is the Gobi Desert, where is the fuel for me to light the fire? If we could light a fire, we wouldn't have fled like this.

After listening to my explanation, everyone fell into silence, since there is no way to solve the current predicament, then can't you just wait for death?

At this time, Phyllis's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Tree dragon blood, tree dragon blood is a highly concentrated fuel, it can be ignited, and it can burn for a long time. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Phyllis immediately shook her head, and said with a solemn face: "No, there is too little blood, only half a bucket in total, which is not enough at all, and the dragon blood is very expensive......"

Although I think the latter half of the sentence is the point, but such a small number is really not enough, and in the face of the surging tide of marching ants ahead, it can be said that it is useless.

Could it be that you can only wait for death like this?

Xiao Nan said in frustration on the side: "Didn't it be said on TV that marching ants are all blind? If you are blind, why don't you take a detour, but instead dig a hole to eat us? ”

I reluctantly patted her on the shoulder and said, "Marching ants aren't all blind, at least their leader ants can identify their prey." ”

After a pause, I comforted: "Okay, they didn't just look for a few of us to bully, they couldn't see it at all, did they?" It's just that we happen to be in the way of them, and we are unlucky. ”

Xiao Nan stared at me dejectedly and said, "Kitten, has anyone ever told you that you really don't know how to comfort people." ”

Me: "......"

The shield in front of him had begun to peel off inch by inch, and it seemed that it had blocked this formation, and it had reached its limit, and it seemed that it was about to collapse.

Witnessing this scene in front of us, all of our hearts sank, could it be that we are really going to die in the belly of these ants?

At this moment of despair, my mind suddenly remembered what Xiao Nan had just said: marching ants are blind.

Suddenly thinking of the characteristics of this marching ant, an amazing idea suddenly came to my mind.

I hurriedly shouted, "I've thought of a way out, we might survive this time!" ”

"What?" Everyone in the carriage stared at me in amazement.

I didn't have time to explain to them, so I hurriedly said, "Xiao Nan, Miss Phyllis, you go and get the blood of the tree dragon." ”

When the two of them heard my words, they were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly jumped into the car to rummage for the blood of the tree dragon, and now they were at a life-and-death juncture, as long as there was a slight possibility of survival, everyone would naturally try their best to catch it.

When they turned back into the carriage to look for it, I grabbed Little Blue's arm and asked, "Brother, how are your bow skills?" ”

Xiao Blue smiled and said: "It's not me who blows, within a hundred steps, where you point, where I shoot, there is no deviation, even if you are in the king's guard, you can't find anyone better than my archery!" ”

This is an exaggeration, and I only believe one percent of his words, but even if it is only one percent, it is enough.

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "In that case, our lives are all in your hands." ”

Little Blue nodded violently and said, "As long as you can escape from this desperate situation, leave the rest to me." ”

As far as I could see, I could see the colonies of marching ants, which were of all sizes, and were generally about the size of a human head, the smallest probably the size of a thumb, and the largest about the size of a horse.

I pointed to the biggest ant in the neighborhood and said to Little Blue, "Can you handle that ant?" ”

Xiao Blue didn't say a word, he directly drew his bow and arrows, and said while aiming: "Show you my means!" ”

I hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute. ”
