Seeing that the fire-breathing ants were some distance away from the ant colony, Ding Hao stopped shooting arrows, but plucked the bowstring of the super blade one by one, making a burst of trilling. After hearing the trill, the stray fire-breathing ant walked slowly in the direction of Ding Hao.

Then when the fire-breathing ant passed by where Oak and Lucia were hiding, Lucia first gently reached out and patted the fire-breathing ant, and the strong electric current suddenly made the fire-breathing ant lie on the ground and tremble, and Oak pounced at once, raised the three-edged thorn in his hand and stabbed it at the place where the fire breather's head and chest were connected, for insects, the connection of limbs is the most vulnerable part, and soon Oak removed the fire breathing ant's head.

The three of them worked together to put down the fire-breathing ant neatly, and then Ding Hao wiped the fire-breathing ant's abdomen with an arrow shaft, stained a little fire-breathing ant's belly oil-like pheromone on the arrow shaft, and then shot towards the fire-breathing ant near the nest in the distance. This time, with just one arrow, the fire-breathing ant that was hit obediently followed the crawling route of the previous fire-breathing ant, and was easily put down by Oak and Lucia in the same position.

"It's amazing, how did you do it?" Looking at the scene in front of her, Lucia couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's actually quite simple." Ding Hao smiled, "As long as you understand the habits of these creatures, you can easily play with them in applause." ”

Despite the size of the fire-breathing ant, it is still an ant. Ants do not have a strong sense of sight and hearing, and mainly rely on pheromones to transmit and obtain information, which is the textbook knowledge of biology in junior high school. And in the game, Ding Hao and his teammates used this method to solve many social mutant creatures.

However, 80 years have passed since the nuclear bomb was destroyed, and most of the earth's original vast knowledge has long since dissipated. Today's humans believe more in the strange abilities that have evolved than in knowledge, so Oak and Lucia don't believe a word of what Ding Hao says. The two of them were willing to believe that Ding Hao had some kind of means to control the fire-breathing ants, or directly attract the fire-breathing ants through the blow of arrows.

Ding Hao didn't bother to argue, this kind of thing, just be happy.

Lure, kill, seduce, kill...... The three of them kept repeating this process, and the fire-breathing ants decreased one by one, and soon Ding Hao and the three of them killed two-thirds. Just when there were only a dozen or so left in the entire ant colony, these fire-breathing ants finally felt that something was wrong, and they became agitated, looking for intruders in the slender canyon. Ding Hao and the three of them were only 50 meters away from the nest of the fire-breathing ants, and they were quickly caught by the fire-breathing ants.

"Uh, can you deal with ten fire-breathing ants at once?" Looking at the fire-breathing ants surrounding him, Ding Hao asked Oak and Lucia with a wry smile.

"It's a little hard, but it would be nice if you could help share some of it." Oak put away the three-edged thorn, picked up the shield again, and threw the SPAR12 shotgun behind his back to Ding Hao, "Lend it to you!" ”

"Thanks!" Ding Hao took the SPAR12, pulled the pump handle (that is, the front support), and a 12-gauge shotgun was pushed into the chamber. A No. 12 shotgun contains 9 steel balls, and the kinetic energy of each steel ball is not less than the 9mm bullet in Ding Hao's hand, that is to say, taking SPAR12 to shoot is equivalent to Ding Hao using M9 to shoot 9 shots, which is enough to shoot out the brains of fire-breathing ants with one shot.

After Ding Hao got the gun, the three of them pounced in three directions, and a ball of white blazing acid happened to fall on the original position of the three people, Ding Hao opened his legs and sprinted quickly, and ran to the side of the fire-breathing ant spitting acid, and then raised the shotgun in his hand, and shot at the junction between the head and chest of the fire-breathing ant.

Rumble! The gunfire exploded like thunder, and the shot knocked off the fire-breathing ant's head.

The effect was remarkable, directly solving a fire-breathing ant, but the thunderous gunfire also attracted the attention of other fire-breathing ants, and immediately 5 fire-breathing ants no longer attacked Oak and Lucia, but chased in the direction of Ding Hao.

"I'll give you a little oil lamp to keep warm!" Ding Hao took out the glass bottle containing acid from the side of the backpack and threw it at the fire-breathing ants not far away, and then raised the muzzle of the gun to shoot the glass bottle in the air.

Just because they're called fire-breathing ants doesn't mean they're not afraid of fire.

The other three fire-breathing ants were cowering from their delicate tentacles under the blazing heat. Ding Hao seized the opportunity to rush over, raised the shotgun in his hand and knocked them to the ground one by one. The power of the 12-gauge shotgun is undeniable, each shot can open a fragmented wound the size of a human head on the fire-breathing ant, and every steel ball fired by the piercing shot has the effect of ignoring defenses, like a scythe to cut off the fire-breathing ant's head neatly. It's just fire-breathing ants, not sickle cockroaches, and if their heads are knocked off, they're dead.

The three fire-breathing ants fell one after the other, and the two ignited fire-breathing ants were also burned to the point that their body fluids boiled, causing the entire carapace to burst open. When Ding Hao's side was done, Lucia also electrocuted the last fire-breathing ant into charcoal.

"I think there's only the queen left." Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Lucia said. "Ding Hao, call the miners here."

"Okay." Ding Hao returned the shotgun in his hand to Oak, then took out the walkie-talkie and began to call Denton.

The queen of the fire-breathing ant hides deep in the nest and is about 6 times the size of the regular fire-breathing ant, making it very difficult for the fire-breathing ant queen to move, and cannot do anything else on her own except feeding and giving birth. The purpose of calling the miners is to dig up the queen ant and feed it artificially, knowing that the eggs laid by the queen can make C or even B high-energy nutrients, which is a lot of wealth.

Taking advantage of the time when the miners arrived, Ding Hao and the three began to dispose of the corpses on the ground, except for the one in the mine, this nest has a total of 29 fire-breathing ants, and the three of them have harvested a total of 29 green crystal nuclei, while the serrated forelimbs and acid-filled glands build a hill on the ground. In addition to these most valuable parts, various parts of the fire-breathing ant can be used, such as meat to eat, carapace to make armor sheets, and body fluids to lubricate machines. In this apocalyptic world of scarcity, people must use everything around them to ensure survival.

Regarding the distribution of crystal nuclei, the three of them decided to take ten of them for Ding Hao and nineteen for Oak and Lucia. As for the other parts of the fire-breathing ants, it was impossible to take them away directly because of their size, so the three of them sold them directly to the copper mining town, and then the money obtained was distributed according to the ratio of one to two. Ding Hao touched and estimated, and found that he could get at least 3,000 yuan this time, plus 2,000 yuan in task compensation, so the income of a difficult task would be at least 5,000 yuan.

In fact, with the cooperation of the three of them, this task is not too difficult, but if Ding Hao is allowed to do it alone, it will be a proper death.

"I'm a little curious about what kind of payment the copper mining town paid to invite you here." Thinking of this, Ding Hao couldn't help but ask Lucia.

"It's an evolutionary potion." Lucia glanced at Ding Hao, and then said, "The reward paid by Copper Mine Town is for me and Oak to have a level 1 general-purpose evolution potion with a 20% success rate. ”

"What is ...... Evolutionary Elixir? Ding Hao was at a loss for this English word, Ding Hao had never seen or heard of this thing in the game before crossing over.

Through Lucia's detailed explanation, Ding Hao can also be regarded as having some understanding of the circle of evolutionaries. First of all, there are not a few evolutionaries in this world now, strictly speaking, one out of every 10 people on average is an evolutionary, but some places are densely populated and some places are dense. Evolvers can acquire various abilities in a variety of ways, but it is very difficult to improve them. In addition to the extremely frequent use of abilities in combat, the injection of Evolution Potions has gradually become the most accepted method of improvement for the majority of evolutionists.

It is unknown when and by whom the first Evolutionary Elixir was made, but the emergence of the Evolutionary Elixir is definitely a milestone in human history. If various abilities are the cornerstone of God-given human beings to survive in these last days, then the evolutionary elixir is the ladder for human beings to climb up the food chain in this world.

The main material of the Evolution Elixir is the crystal nucleus obtained from the mutated organism. Evolution Potions are divided into general-purpose Evolution Potions and Designated Evolution Potions, and the Potions are divided into levels 1-5, corresponding to abilities of levels 1-5. The Universal Evolution Elixir can randomly evolve an ability in the body. The formula of the Level 1 General Evolution Elixir is the most mature, with a maximum success rate of 33%, but if the ascension fails, it must wait until 3 months later to use it again, otherwise it is easy to cause internal organ failure and lead to death.

Judging from the current market price, the cheapest first-class general-purpose evolution elixir is worth 5,000 pieces, which is only an inferior product with a success rate of only 10%, and a high-quality elixir with a success rate of 33% is at least 40,000 pieces, and only those large companies and organizations can produce it in limited quantities.

As for those Tier 2 and Tier 3 and Designated Evolution Elixirs, the highest success rate is lower and the price is more expensive. Therefore, compared to ordinary people, the path of evolutionaries is not so easy to follow.

"We're going to go to the east next, which is said to be the paradise of the evolutionary." Lucia looked at Ding Hao expectantly, "Do you want to come with us?" ”

"Uh......" When Lucia asked this, Ding Hao was stunned for a moment.

"Forget it, I'm just asking." Looking at Ding Hao's hesitant expression, a slight trace of regret flashed on Lucia's face, "Copper Mine Town is just a small place, not suitable for evolutionaries. If you want to get stronger, remember to head east. ”

"Hmm." Ding Hao nodded, "When I'm ready, I'll go to the east to have a look, and I hope we can see each other again."
