3. Fire-breathing ants

"That ......" Ding Hao looked at Denton, who was leading the way in front of him, and then at the two evolutionaries beside him, "I think we should introduce ourselves to each other first, and it will be easier to cooperate when we fight." ”

The two evolutionaries glanced at Ding Hao with some surprise, in this era, ordinary people are usually in awe of evolutionaries, and it is the first time to see someone like Ding Hao who takes the initiative to talk.

"My name is Oak." The male evolutionary spoke in a stiff tone, and seemed to be not good at words.

"My name is Lucia, and it's a pleasure to meet you." And the female evolutionary was much more cheerful, smiling and stretching out her hand to Ding Hao.

"My name is Ding Hao, and I hope this cooperation is pleasant." Ding Hao stretched out his right hand and shook Lucia.

"Ding Hao, are you good at using bows and arrows?" Looking at the super blade behind Ding Hao, Lucia couldn't help but ask the question that she had been wondering about for a long time. "It's the first time I've seen a mercenary with a bow and arrow."

"There's a reason for that." Ding Hao said, "Of course, the main reason is that I am relatively poor and cannot afford to buy an assault rifle. ”

Lucia: "...... All right. ”

A few minutes later, everyone came to the sealed mine, Denton took out the key to open the metal gate that sealed the mine, under the moonlight, Ding Hao saw that Denton's hand was trembling slightly.

For ordinary people like Denton, fire-breathing ants are the grim reaper who wants their lives.

"The place where it was dug through is in the D9 section of the mine, good luck to you." After Ding Hao and the three entered the mine, Denton closed the metal gate again, knowing that if the mission was successful, it would be better to say, in case Ding Hao and the three of them missed, and then the furious fire-breathing ants poured into the copper mining town.

Click, three pillars of light dispelled the darkness in the mine, and Ding Hao and the three of them took flashlights up and down.

"I'll take the lead, and you two will cover me on the flanks." Oak fastened the flashlight to his shoulder, then held his shield in front of him with his right hand, and pulled the silver-white Magnum from his leg with his left hand and extended it through the gap on the left side of the shield. The .44 Magnum bullet with a speed of 490 meters per second has a kinetic energy of up to 1,600 joules, which can easily smash the back armor of a mirelurk crab and smash the head of a fire-breathing ant.

The three of them slowly walked towards the inside of the cave in a triangular formation, and as the three of them went deeper, blood stains gradually began to appear on the cave walls and the ground, and the deeper they went into the cave, the more blood stains there were, and then the ground was even full of all kinds of stumps and flesh, as well as scorched marks. After walking about a kilometer in the mine, the trio finally met the first fire-breathing ant.

Fire-breathing ants are similar in appearance to ordinary ants, but they are tens of millions of times larger. When encountering this fire-breathing ant, this monster was facing away from Ding Hao and the three of them gnawing on the broken corpse on the ground, and when they felt the light behind them, the fire-breathing ant hurriedly turned around.

Rumble! Magnum in Oak's hand made a loud noise, and under the impetus of the ******, the 0.44-inch Magnum pistol bullet spun and flew out of the barrel, leaping a distance of 20 meters in 0.05 seconds, accurately hitting the left side of the fire-breathing ant's head, and neatly shaved off its left tentacles and small half of the head, and disgusting juice splashed everywhere.

Insects don't have pain nerves, but that doesn't mean they won't get angry when attacked. The fire-breathing ants that were suddenly attacked immediately became furious, and spewed a stream of gray-white sap in the direction of Oak, and the sap burned in mid-air.

The three of them spread out in both directions, the burning liquid falling into the air, and with a single miss, the fire-breathing ants rushed in the direction of Oak with six slender legs.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Ding Hao half-squatted on the ground and aimed at the fire-breathing ant and pulled the trigger continuously, and three wrist-thick holes suddenly appeared on the fire breathing ant's head, and after being hit by Ding Hao with a paralyzing shot, the movement speed of the fire-breathing ant instantly became only half of the previous one. The M9 pistol is not very powerful per shot, but it has little recoil, a fast rate of fire, and a very impressive accumulation of damage.

Cracking sound! Ding Hao suddenly heard a series of electric arc explosions, turned his head to look, and found that Lucia's right hand was surrounded by a dazzling electric light at the moment, and then Lucia waved her hand towards the fire-breathing ants that rushed "slowly", and a dazzling electric arc slashed at the fire-breathing ants. The fire-breathing ants suddenly flashed with electric arcs all over their bodies, and began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

Rumble! Magnum in Oak's hand let out another roar, and this shot hit the center of the fire-breathing ant's head, almost breaking the fire-breathing ant's head in half, and receiving this fatal injury, the fire-breathing ant directly curled up on the ground and never moved again.

After killing the fire-breathing ant, the three of them began to harvest the spoils, and the fire-breathing ant fixed a green crystal nucleus, which is also the most valuable part of a fire-breathing ant's body. The second is the two sharp forelimbs, the forelimbs of the fire-breathing ant are used to comb the tentacles, so the forelimbs have fine serrations, as long as the grip is polished, it is a good serrated long knife. There are also the acid glands of the fire-breathing ant, the fire-breathing ant has two acid glands, and the two acid glands secrete different liquids, which will become flammable acid when mixed together, and these flammable acids are very versatile, and a bottle of mixed acid is worth at least 100 yuan.

As the main contributors, Oak and Lucia took the crystal nucleus and a sawtooth forelimb, and the other sawtooth forelimb and two acid glands belonged to Ding Hao, and the distribution was fairly fair.

"Ding Hao, are you also an evolutionary?" After distributing the loot, Lucia stared at Ding Hao for a long time before asking with some confusion.

"Why do you ask?" Ding Hao carefully squeezed the liquid in the acid glands into the glass bottle, and did not waste a drop.

"I see that the movement speed of the fire-breathing ants is reduced by half after you attack, are you a slow-down evolutionary?" Lucia's observation was very accurate, in a word.

"I don't know." Ding Hao scratched his head, "Copper Mine Town is just a small place, and I haven't seen other evolutionaries before today. ”

Without communication, you can't make a difference. In fact, Ding Hao can't be sure whether his skills can be divided into evolution ability, not to mention anything else, that is, the ability of arms dealers to make ammunition is estimated to be unlikely to evolve by ordinary people.

"I've seen a couple of slowdown evolutionaries who, just like you, can slow down each other's movement when attacking." Lucia held her chin and thought, "But they are all ice or stance abilities, you seem to be a thunderbolt attribute ability like me, do you rely on the paralyzing effect of thunder and lightning to slow down the other party?" ”

"No matter what I am, let's complete this mission first and then discuss it slowly." Ding Hao didn't want to say more, so he directly found an excuse to skip this topic.

The three of them continued to move forward, although the mine cave was long, but there was no second fire-breathing ant dangling in the mine, so Ding Hao and the three of them soon came to the entrance of the cave located in the D9 area. After drilling out of the hole, the three of them were presented with a beautiful Grand Canyon, where the white moonlight sprinkled down through the clouds, gilding the Grand Canyon with a layer of silver, but a hundred meters in front of them, a 20-meter-high conical ant nest was very unsightly.

This ant nest is the burrow of fire-breathing ants, because of the size of the relationship, fire-breathing ants can not be like ordinary ants in a nest of thousands, usually a 20-meter-high standard fire-breathing ant nest, that is, the one in front of the three people, will only accommodate 20-30 fire-breathing ants, each nest has a fixed number, the specific number depends on the richness of the surrounding food. Every time a fire-breathing ant dies, the next fire-breathing ant will hatch, no more and no less, unless there is an external force interfering.

And Ding Hao and the three of them are the so-called external forces.

"This nest of fire-breathing ants seems to be a bit much." Looking at the fire-breathing ants coming in and out of the nest in the distance, Lucia couldn't help but say.

"Can't you deal with both?" Ding Hao listened to Lucia's words and felt a little strange.

As soon as Ding Hao's words fell, Lucia and Oak looked at them with strange expressions.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Ding Hao spread his hands.

"Well, it seems that you don't know about the Evolver." Lucia sighed, "First of all, you have to understand that we are just human beings who have acquired strange abilities, not superhumans from the movies of the old days"

"We have some magical abilities though." Lucia stretched out her left hand and shook it, the lightning flashed, "But this doesn't mean that we can be invulnerable, immortal, we also have limits." ”

"Actually, it's not difficult to be invulnerable, and my ability has developed to the top enough to withstand sniper attacks." Oak interjected suddenly.

"Brother!" Lucia yelled at Oak in disgust, "Don't tear me down!" ”

"You said so much, meaning you can't deal with so many fire-breathing ants at once?" Ding Hao made a summary of Lucia's words.

"Yes, you see them so close, alarming one will directly alarm the whole litter, and we won't be able to escape when the time comes." At this moment, the group of fire-breathing ants is very close to each other, and in the words of online games, there is a chain of hatred between each other, and they can't be rashly blamed.

"I'll see if I can separate them, and if it's just one of them, can you kill them in seconds without making any noise?" Ding Hao inserted the pistol back into the holster, and then removed the super blade from his back.

"That's fine." Oak pulled out a triangular thorn from the inside of his shield, which was a good thing for armor-piercing and bleeding. "If you can do it."

Asking Oak and Lucia to wait behind a large rock, Ding Hao pulled out an arrow from his back, removed the sharp arrow, and then set it on the arrow platform. The bowstring was ajar, and then an arrow was fired, only to hear a "boom", and the arrow without an arrow hit the huge belly of a fire-breathing ant with unmistakable accuracy.

Suddenly attacked, the fire-breathing ant hurriedly turned around, but found nothing.

After being stunned for a moment, the fire-breathing ant turned its head and continued to work, but at that moment, another arrow flew over......

Once or twice, I can endure it, but I can't bear it three times or five times, this fire-breathing ant that was attacked five times by Ding Hao with an arrow shaft finally left the ant colony and walked around aimlessly in the small canyon. And because the attack is very slight, the fire-breathing ant does not scatter pheromones that represent enemy attacks.

The fish took the bait......
