The ant nest is very large, not to mention people, a big truck can also be unimpeded in the passage of the ant nest, Ding Hao followed the fire-breathing ants with gem crystal insects in their mouths and quietly entered the ant nest.

The nest was pitch black, there was no light source, and this was a nest of fire-breathing ants, so lighting tools could not be used at all, but fortunately, Ding Hao had already repaired the tactical eyepiece before leaving El Paso. With night vision devices, just darkness is nothing.

In addition, Ding Hao's concealment skills can only rely on visual skills to see through now, so in this pitch-black ant nest, as long as Ding Hao does not take the initiative to attack, then it will not attract the attention of any fire-breathing ants.

Following the fire-breathing ants in the labyrinthine ant nest left and right, in order to prevent getting lost, Ding Hao arranged a beacon every other way, when ten beacons were arranged, the fire-breathing ants holding gem crystal insects finally took Ding Hao out of the labyrinthine tunnel and entered the main part of the nest.

To be honest, Ding Hao was shocked at the first sight of this ant nest, the main part of this ant nest is built in a huge underground cavity, this cavity is huge, the cross-section is at least the size of two football fields, and it is also unfathomable, you can't hear the echo when you throw a stone, and the platform passages in the cavity are criss-crossed, and countless fire-breathing ants are busy here. I don't know if this cavity existed in the first place or if these fire-breathing ants were dug out by force, but in any case, if you can make such a spectacular underground city, these fire-breathing ants are also awesome.

While going deep into the ant nest, Ding Hao also found a problem - the further down he goes, the higher the temperature.

It's January now, and the outside is basically minus five or six degrees, and the temperature in the hills where the fire-breathing ants are located is actually more than ten degrees, and the ant nest is even hotter and scary, Ding Hao's current position is almost 30 degrees, and from time to time there is a strong heat flow rising from below.

Obviously there must be a heat source down there, maybe a magma rift or something, but I don't know why these fire-breathing ants built their nests on the lava vent, maybe the cooled magma tastes better?

With doubts in his head, Ding Hao followed the fire-breathing ants and continued to go deeper, and the gem crystal insects that were held by the fire-breathing ants were no longer struggling now, and their stubby limbs hung down softly, obviously dead.

The fire-breathing ants came to a small cave with the dead gem crystal worms, there were only two fire-breathing ants in this cave, and when the fire-breathing ants hanging the gem crystals came in, the three fire-breathing ants worked together to tear the gem crystal worms apart like opening a snack bag, picking out the special metal inside, and then the fire-breathing ants left with the corpse of the gem crystal worms.

I don't know how long these fire-breathing ants have been doing this, but now there is a small pile of special metals piled up in this small cave, which is shining with colorful fluorescence in the dark, which looks very attractive.

The bean paste bag attached to the combat uniform was almost unbearable, and it trembled slightly, indicating that he was very hungry now.

So Ding Hao leaned his back against the wall and moved to the place where the special metal was placed little by little, as long as he didn't touch the tentacles of the fire-breathing ants, the fire-breathing ants would not be able to find Ding Hao.

One step, two steps, three steps, the gap between the fire-breathing ants and the wall was very narrow, but Ding Hao still quietly squeezed through, and then squatted on the ground and began to look through these strange special metals.

The greedy bean paste bag couldn't bear it anymore, and he squeezed out of Ding Hao's armor and was about to jump into the metal pile, but Ding Hao grabbed it and covered his mouth.

It's not that Ding Hao doesn't let this guy eat it, but the special metal types here are very complicated, and it will be bad if you eat it, so you must choose carefully before feeding.

Luckily, the built-in item information bar in the talent screen can already show the purpose of an item, which is a very useful ability, especially when dealing with unknown items.

Dense iridium: an extremely dense metal with an extremely stable structure that can resist a large part of corrosion. Effect of Feeding Dark Slimes: Gain a dense structure effect that does not break through until the Dark Slime's defenses are depleted, but instead increases the number of burns. It also ignores all kinds of acids and psionic corrosive effects.

The current slime can withstand the impact of energy within 30,000 joules, simply put, it can block large-caliber machine guns, but it can't hold anti-materiel sniper rifles, and when the power of a single attack exceeds 30,000 joules, it will directly tear the bean paste bag, thus injuring Ding Hao, just like in Awumada Town before, the death claw pierces through the defense of the bean paste bag like tearing paper. The effect of this dense iridium is that the bean paste bag will not be so easy to penetrate, and it can gain stronger defense by consuming more defenses.

Of course, this is only the defensive effect in the face of physical impact, and there is no such strong defense ability in the face of those plasma lasers, and the current plasma lasers basically start with a million joules of heat in one shot, and one shot can burn the bean paste bag half to death, if you want to defend against lasers and plasma, you still have to rely on ceramic armor.

The corrosion-resistant effect is a bonus, the corrosion effect is the same as the combustion effect, these continuous damage effects can consume the defense times of the bean paste bag in a short period of time, and now with the corrosion-resistant effect provided by dense iridium, Ding Hao doesn't need to have a headache for those evolutionaries who have mastered the acid ability.

Throwing the heavy dense iridium on his hand into the big mouth of the bean paste bun, Ding Hao continued to rummage through other special metals.

Cured rhenium: a soft high-temperature resistant metal with good mechanical properties that can strengthen other metals. Dark Slime Feeding Effect: Increases defense by 50% and increases defense times by 50%.

After eating this, the Dark Slime can have a single defense of 40,000 joules, and the number of defenses can reach 200, which means that Ding Hao can stand still and resist M82A1 200 times.

Although this bit of defense is only enough for energy weapons, for gunpowder-fueled individual weapons, Ding Hao is already invincible.

After the bean paste bag ate the solidified rhenium, Ding Hao found another piece of anodized chromium, and the item information showed that after feeding this thing to the dark slime, it could cause slight electric shock damage to melee enemies and a paralyzing effect that lasted for 1 second, which is a good thing, in case he is surrounded by mutant creatures, the bean paste bag can easily fight back with this ability.

But the bean paste bun was already full, and he shook his head again and again in the face of the anodized chromium on the side of his mouth, and then hit his head on Ding Hao's boots, and then the whole thing seemed to melt into Ding Hao's armor. (To be continued.) )
