Chapter 102: Breakout
An ant with six slender legs the size of a standing pony, its paws opening and closing, its spines dripping venom.
Giant ant colonies are known as one of the three plagues of the Black Forest, and the degree of damage depends on the size of the colony.
One after another, the giant ants emerged from the grass, and they were not in a hurry to attack, but surrounded the caravan, waiting for the other companions to form a thick encirclement.
Yang Hao visually measured that the number of giant ants was about 1,500, which belonged to a small-scale giant ant colony.
"Bastard! What the hell are you doing? ”
Edward lost his mind in a desperate situation, angrily grabbed Yang Hao by the collar and tried to knock him down.
"Mr. Edward, please stay calm, if I had done it, would I still be here?"
Yang Hao used honorifics to Edward before, just to respect his status as the successor of the title, but now that he has torn his face, there is no need to be coy.
"Young master, young master, calm down! We still have a chance! ”
Hudra lives Edward, and Yang Hao is now an important combat force, and cooperation is imperative.
"Steward Hood, we are already surrounded by giant ant colonies, how can we survive! I'm not reconciled! ”
Edward was extremely unwilling, endured for more than 20 years, and finally it was his turn to come out, but today he ended up dying.
"Young master, don't give up, there is a nameless river two kilometers ahead, although it can't completely block the pace of the giant ants, but it can also drag the giant ant colony for a long time, enough for us to escape."
Hood pointed to the trade road ahead.
Edward was emotionally out of control before, but he didn't expect that at this time, he grabbed the life-saving straw, and his reason immediately returned, and asked:
"Why didn't you just run forward before that?"
"Hey, no one wants to fight with the giant ants until they have to, even if they are killed just now, these mercenaries will not run forward."
Hood obviously has a deep understanding of the mercenary profession, and eighty percent of them have suffered such losses.
"In other words, if you want to break through, then you better hurry, they seem to be attacking."
Yang Hao kept a close eye on the dynamics of the giant ants, their number was really amazing, and they were pouring over, making people unable to muster the courage to resist.

Giant Bite: Consumes 10 points of stamina, and the powerful strength of the giant ant combined with the sharp jaws can easily clip the victim's body. For targets with less than 30% health, the instant death judgment is 50% success, and has no effect on targets with a Constitution higher than 3.5.
The giant ant colony in front of him was dense, and the passive life bonus was definitely increased to the upper limit.
Statistically, giant ants are pure beast creatures with no magical powers, which is the only good news.
Yang Hao secretly estimated the strength of the two sides in his heart, the caravan went out to escape here, and now there are more than 70 senior mercenaries left, the level is about level 8, and there are also 8 squad leaders from veterans, the level is about 12.
These 8 squad leaders are the core figures of this breakout battle, and as soldiers, swordsmanship must reach the proficiency level, to say the least. One fight three veteran mercenaries is no longer a problem.
Hood's housekeeper seems to have some strength, and Yang Hao can't see through him.
As for Edward, well, he's probably doing the same thing as Erin and the others right now.
And the enemy is thousands of level 10 giant ants, and the odds of victory are slim!
"Mr. Geralt, please forgive Master Edward for his rudeness. Now that we are all grasshoppers in the same boat, we need your strength. ”
The implication is that don't hide it, brother, if you have strength, you will go up, and if you don't have strength, you will die.
"It's natural to be in the same boat, I'll make a move, but there are conditions.
One, the safety of my maids must be guaranteed and that they stay with Edward.
Two, give me medication for the rash right away, I can't stand it! ”
The tiny red spots on Yang Hao's neck have been connected together, forming large and small red spots, slightly bulging.
If you don't touch it, it will itch, and when you touch it, you will feel a tingling pain, which is not a human feeling.
"No problem, I will protect the young master and the two girls closely, if I am lucky enough to survive this time, the Truman family will be grateful." 、
Yang Hao felt that he was deliberately looking for an excuse to avoid the war, but there was no better choice at the moment, he could only trust Hood.
"Ruby, Irene, you hold on to the black beans, and call me desperately if you are in danger!"
"Yes! Don't worry, big brother, we will definitely win! ”
Erin cheered up, she had experienced the battle of White Rock and was more calm than Edward.
Ruby didn't speak, stared at Yang Hao's eyes, and nodded heavily.
On the other side, Hood was mobilizing the crowd and informing them of the escape plan.
A new hope awakens the crowd who had been preparing to close their eyes to death, when the giant ant colony attacks.
But to everyone's surprise, the giant ant colony stopped 30 meters away from everyone and collectively spat out a wave of acid.
The complex environment hinders the expansion of the giant ant colony, but there are still about 200 giant ants within the effective range of the acid.
The yellow-green liquid came all over the sky, collided with each other and splashed open, and for a moment it seemed to be acid rain.
Yang Hao reacted quickly and lifted the tent cloth on Black Bean's back to cover himself and Erin Ruby.
Others are not so lucky,
Screams, screams that don't stop coming!
The splash of acid caused almost everyone to be hit, and some of the 10 hapless people had already died in wailing, while others still breathed a sigh of disbelief and touched their bloody bodies.
"What the hell is called! The giant ants are here! If you don't want to die, give me enough strength to rush forward! ”
Hood shouted and fought with a giant ant, cutting off half of the ant's long legs in a few strokes.
Seeing this, everyone's ferocity was stimulated, and they didn't care about the bleeding wounds, and raised their weapons to fight with the giant ants.
Unlike others, Yang Hao is as flexible as a fish in water in the chaotic human-ant war.
No matter where the attack came from, it couldn't escape his senses, and his powerful swordsmanship allowed his attacks to be precise and accurately slash at the joints of the giant ant's legs.
The disadvantages of the insect exoskeleton are exposed, and there is no muscle protection at the arthropods, which can be easily cut off by the enemy.
The huge size of the giant ant also means that there are many gaps between the giant ants, and Yang Hao and the others are not slow to move forward while fighting.
Soon everyone ran 500 meters, lost more than 10 senior mercenaries again, and the two squad leaders also hung up the lottery.
"This giant ant colony isn't terrifying!"
Yang Hao played easily, and it was inevitable that he would be contemptuous, but the reality soon told him that pretending to be forced was definitely struck by lightning!
