Chapter 217: The Protagonist Is Attacked (2)
I saw that on the low branches, the bellied ants made a movement in unison: they lowered their upper bodies, pouted their bellies and rushed forward, pointing at the protagonist and the Praetorian Guard on the ground below.
The tip of the abdomen of the worker ants began to ooze a crystalline liquid, which condensed into beads under the beams of light that penetrated through the holes in the leaves, glowing with a green sheen.
Is that... Acid for belly lifters! They're going to shoot!
This hostile move makes the protagonist suddenly realize something, and the breath of warning and the friction sound are frantically released.
At the same moment, the belly-raising ants, which had already received specific instructions, began to attack.
I saw that the abdomen of the belly-raising ant in the high place shook, and the small acid beads were thrown out, raining down on the protagonist and his party.
The Divine Ant Praetorian Guard next to him saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly lay on the protagonist's body, pressing the protagonist under him.
Most of the acid droplets hit the ground, sending bursts of white acid mist on the damp dead branches and leaves, and the small area was soon surrounded by pungent acid gas, and for a moment it seemed as if it were in a vinegar pot.
A small amount of acid fell on the protagonist's party, who was regarded as the target, and the protagonist was only hit by a drop in the left side of his abdomen at the beginning, and the outer carapace was immediately corroded by a small piece, and the yellow-brown carapace was bubbling with white bubbles, as if it was still "rattling", and it was not really audible in the chaos.
The protagonist didn't feel any pain, and that drop of acid didn't corrode the outer carapace's defenses, and it didn't hurt the muscles and internal organs inside. The corroded outer carapace is like a human fingernail, and it doesn't take long for it to grow.
But if more acid hits, constantly corrodes, and even hits the protagonist's compound eyes and antennae, then the protagonist will also be injured, and even... Will die!
Even with great strength, the protagonist's body is still fragile, not much stronger than ordinary ants. He didn't go out today without armor.
Fortunately, more than a dozen Divine Ant Guard Warriors loyally pounced on the protagonist, and soon formed a meat shield to bury the protagonist tightly, leaving only one or two small gaps, so that the protagonist could barely see outside.
The protagonist is not wearing armor, but the Praetorian Guards have been waiting for him, and this time they are also fully armed. The acid mostly hit their iron armor, which gave these valiant warriors an extra layer of defense.
But there are also a few acids that hit joints, antennae, and compound eyes that are not protected by iron armor.
Some of the injured Divine Ant Guards trembled in pain, but they didn't move their bodies, still using their flesh and blood to protect the Divine Envoy King under them!!
"Celestial" did not pounce on the protagonist, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, she immediately organized a dozen warriors, tried to climb the bushes, launched a counterattack, and drove away the bellied ants.
At this time, I saw that the male ants who had led the way for the protagonist and his party came over with more than a dozen worker ants and went towards the protagonist.
The Divine Ant Guards immediately abandoned their original plan and rushed to meet them first, fighting with the bellied ants in a rain of acid mist.
The bellied ants themselves have a strong resistance to acid, even if they have a dura membrane on their compound eyes, they can not be afraid of acid coverage in a short time. The Divine Ant Praetorian Warrior is covered in iron armor and can also hold on to acid for a while.
When the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the belly raising ants on the tree were still shooting wildly, but it could not prevent the belly raising ants on the ground from quickly routing.
The Divine Ant Warriors vented their anger on these enemies who dared to rush over, and killed most of the worker ants in a few strokes, except for the male ant with three or two remnants of the defeated army.
The Divine Ant Praetorian Guards failed to pursue, nor did they go up the trees to disperse the bellied ants, and more enemies were already in front of them.
Accompanied by the dense sound of "Si Xi Suo" in the grass outside the bushes, hundreds of ants entered the battlefield, apparently complicit in the belly-raising ants involved in the ambush.
The protagonist sees through the cracks that the main ones attacking are burrowing ants, and there are a small number of Japanese black brown ants!
Bellied ants! Burrowing ants! Japanese Black Brown Ant! These three ant clans are all ant clans that originally surrendered to the Red Fire Ant Country, and later surrendered to the Ant Alliance, and it was also these three ant clans who had set off a rebellion in the three sub-nests in the north before!
When the protagonist sees the ant of the fourth ant clan suddenly appear in the tree, he is already furious.
A male ant of red fire ants, Shi Shiran, appeared on the branch of the tree, followed by two red fire ant guards, and several male ants of belly raising ants, burrowing ants and Japanese black brown ants also followed.
The mastermind of the attack is already clear! The remnants of the Red Fire Ant Nation!
Although the protagonist doesn't know how the remnants of the Red Fire Ant Kingdom suddenly appeared near [Xinyang City], he doesn't know why the bellied ants and other clans have willingly become accomplices.
But now is not the time to think about these things!
Ten times as many enemies are coming, and the Praetorian Guards are alone, and they are constantly being attacked by acid, the situation is too dangerous!
The Divine Ant Ants are very clever, and they deliberately introduce the enemy into the acid rain of the bellied ants, so that the enemy will also be exposed to the acid rain, so as to slow down the impact of the enemy army that is several times their own.
But they obviously won't be able to hold out for long, and they must escape!
The protagonist forcefully lifts the Divine Soldier Ants on his body, and runs outside while giving a signal to retreat.
Now, he has all his strength, but now he has been attacked by the enemy from a distance, and his strength is useless, so it is better to protect himself first.
But he didn't run two steps, and his back hurt, and the protagonist knew that he had been hit by a bullet in the joint of his waist, and under distraction, the protagonist stumbled and tripped over a short dry branch!
The protagonist was suddenly blessed to the heart, and he did not enter the state of "God descends to earth", he directly picked up the branch with a pair of forelimbs, and reflexively smashed it into the branch.
His usual strength is great, although this branch is light and fluttering, but when it hits the branch, it still shocks a dozen or so belly-raising ants to fall off the tree.
The divine soldier ants in the back also woke up one by one, their IQ was very high, and their strength was much greater than that of ordinary ants, and they immediately followed suit and shot some stones on the ground into the trees one after another.
Taking advantage of the timid belly-raising ants dodging one after another, and there was no time to shoot, the protagonist rushed into the grass outside with more than thirty divine ant guards!
There were also a dozen or so fighters who had been killed or wounded and did not follow, and some of them who were seriously wounded took the initiative to stay behind and break off!
The male ant of the red fire ant hurriedly ordered the ants of the three tribes on the ground to pursue.
I saw a divine soldier ant, already blind with a compound eye, and his whole body was covered with corroded wounds, some of which were deeply visible, and the iron armor had long been eroded.
She landed at the rear, her jaws open as if she had let out a long roar, and then rushed back at hundreds of enemies without hesitation!
