926 Passive defensive warfare
The area enclosed by the ant colony is extremely vast, nearly 10,000 miles wide, and no matter what the strength of the ant colony is, just the dense and hundreds of millions of ant colonies are enough to make the irrepressible fear rise in the hearts of the monks who see this.
If an ordinary spiritual realm cultivator fell into the encirclement of this super large ant colony, it was difficult to say whether he would still have the courage to rise up and fight.
Although most of these demon insects and ants are not of high rank, their actions are quite consistent, staying dozens of feet away from the tall tower, and none of them stepped forward to attack alone.
The five monks who were hiding in the various layers of space of the Gongshou Tower, even Yun Yu, who had the strongest soul power detection ability, could only detect a range of nearly 10,000 miles.
Looking at the demon ant colony flying in the sky detected by soul power, it would definitely be self-deception to say that Yun Yu was still able to maintain a state of indifference.
Although the demon ant colony did not launch an attack on this, looking at the body of the ant insect that could barely see the edge was enough to make people feel intimidating, as if facing a group of monks who counted hundreds of millions alone, and it felt far more than that.
"Senior Xu, what is that huge black thing in the southwest direction? I wonder if the predecessor can detect it clearly?"
The five of them were in the hubs of each layer of the Meritorious Receiving Tower, but there was not much hindrance to communicating with each other, and after looking at the situation of the ant colony around them, the words of the Spirit Ring Fairy suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
For what the Spirit Ring Fairy said, Yun Yu had already noticed it, but the whole body of the huge thing was jet black, and there were countless ants and insects around the body, which were superimposed layer by layer, and the soul power detection could not penetrate it, and he could only see the peripheral situation.
What Yun Yu could confirm was that he only thought that the huge mass was a kind of ants and insects that had obviously changed into pitch black and gathered together, and it was difficult for him to know what the core of it was.
The old man couldn't detect the details there, but the old man guessed that it must be the headquarters of this group of ants, and it was extremely suspicious that it was the existence of the ants. ”
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Zhengmao told his reasoning and transmitted it to the ears of the other four monks.
"Does that mean that as long as we can kill the queen ant and the strange black ants that have piled up, we can make the demon ants in this place lose their central commands, so that they can retreat? ”
For this kind of group of huge demon insects and ants, everyone has never seen it, but for its habits, that is, Yun Yu, they don't know much about it, and when they heard Xu Zhengmao's words, some monks asked out loud.
"If you want to kill and empty that huge ant queen, no matter how easy it is, as long as we get close to it, the demon ants around it will attack with all their strength to intercept it.
If we want to survive, we can only persevere, hold on until the attack power of the ant colony drops, the loss is too much and retreats, or there is a gap in the encirclement, which can be used for us to break through, but that is also extremely difficult to achieve. ”
Xu Zhengmao did not affirm the suggestions given by everyone, and still spoke very assertively.
Regarding Xu Zhengmao's cautious attitude, Yun Yu was also slightly puzzled in his heart. Judging from the strong ability to destroy any foreign living creatures in the area where the demon ant colony passes, in the face of this giant tower that has a sense of threat to it, it is bound to be attacked by the ant colony.
Maybe it will be an extremely protracted, non-ending tragic offensive and defensive battle.
Surrounded by countless demon ant colonies, even if the five of them had the power to receive this extremely well-defended treasure weapon in their hands, it was difficult to say that they had enough energy to stalemate.
"Fellow cultivators, don't worry too much, it's true that this group of ants is extremely powerful and difficult, but it is not coming at us, if the old man is not mistaken, there will be several groups of ants that have been controlled by the demon ant queen at this moment.
As long as different ant colonies come into contact with each other, there will inevitably be a chaotic war on their own, and the chance for us to survive is to wait for the several demon ant colonies to kill each other.
At that time, we can take advantage of the competition between the ant colonies and find some gaps to quickly get out. ”
Xu Zhengmao, at this time, obviously sensed the nervousness of several companion monks, and let out some reassuring words, he had done a detailed study of the various powerful demon insect populations in the Savage Mountain Range.
The reason why he was able to maintain a stable state of mind until this time was not that he was really much tougher than Yun Yu's minds.
Instead, he knew a lot about the ant colony that appeared in front of him, and he already knew a situation that Yun Yu and others didn't know.
Hearing Xu Zhengmao's words, Yun Yu and the others were slightly surprised.
This is also enough to explain why the cultivators just now discovered that the ant colony was attacking, but it seemed that a large number of ants and insects had emerged in the surrounding places at the same time. Even if the cultivators are nearly 10,000 miles away, it is difficult to escape from the rapid escape technique.
It turned out that this large group of ants and insects was a different group, but several groups of teams with their own commands, and they came to fight on their own.
And a few of them were not lucky, and they just entered the center of the ant colony battle battlefield when they ran away.
If they wanted to exterminate such an incalculable billions of ant colonies, not to mention their mere five Spirit Realm cultivators, even five or ten Xuan Spirit Realm cultivators, it would be absolutely impossible to exterminate all the levels of ants and insects in the Ten Thousand Miles area.
"It's not good, the demon ant colony has launched an attack, fellow cultivators, each guarding a layer of the tower, it is necessary to protect the body of the tower from the attack of the ant colony. ”
When everyone was talking, I saw the uncountable demon ant colony that had been greatly controlled just now, and the ferocious aura was no longer stable.
Under the transmission of a strange aura energy that the cultivators could not see, the ants shook their wings and suddenly flew towards the location of the Gongzhu Tower.
The tower body is dozens of feet high, and among the countless ant colonies, it is like a flat boat in the ocean, and it seems that only a wave of ant waves can be overwhelmed.
In the face of the first life-and-death ant colony attack in the Savage Mountain Range, the five monks, including Yun Yu, were all vigilant and did not take it lightly.
The demon ants and insects launched their own attack, and before they were approaching, they were already completely covered by a layer of reddish-brown juice in all directions.
The juice mist that violently corroded the energy suddenly appeared, and a breath that was much stronger than just now suddenly permeated out.
The layer of condensed protective light on the outer layer of the Gongshou Tower, as soon as it received the poisonous mist of ant and insect juice, it immediately emitted a terrifying scream, like water like flames.
Layers of venom were diffused, and under the continuous impact, the tower's luminous light decreased sharply, and the condensed luminous energy shrank sharply and thinned.
"Everyone, shoot!" With Xu Zhengmao's shout, the greatly suppressed power of the tower protection energy, suddenly the light burst wildly, and thousands of tower arrows shot out from the huge tower body, like an arrow tower displayed on the spot.
The crisp sound resounded, and in an instant, the entire Gongshou tower body was guarded in the middle, and the greatly suppressed protection mang, in the tower arrow energy attack, once again flashed brightly.
Thousands of tower arrows slashed down with rapid radiation of attack energy, instantly sprinting away the surrounding poisonous mist.
Although the ant poison mist contained a violent poisonous aura, it still could not attach to it when the tower arrow energy sprinted, and the sword and arrow shot out, and immediately disappeared into the demon ants that were attacking from all directions.
What made Yun Yu's heart suddenly awe-inspiring was that the nearly thousand Pagoda Arrow Light Energy he had sacrificed had been wrapped in an extremely powerful obstructive force that had wrapped around the Dao Arrow Light Energy as soon as he entered the demon ant colony.
The energy of the arrows that pierced through the speed suddenly decreased.
"It's not good, this demon ant poison mist can actually imprison the attack energy, don't attack the ant colony from afar, just block the demon ant attack and the tower body. ”
Just when Yun Yu felt a shock in his heart, an exclamation had already come out of Xu Zhengmao's mouth.
Even without Xu Zhengmao's shout, Yun Yu and the others had already sensed the weakness of the arrows they had destroyed, and their thoughts were quickly released, and the energy in their bodies surged.
At this time, although the energy aura was still majestic and sharp, Yun Yu still sensed that there was a layer of strange rule power on it at this time.
Only then did he become vigilant in his heart, and finally understood what it meant when Xu Zhengmao said that they should alternately drive the light energy of the tower arrows on each layer in order to persist for a long time.
Although the energy of the Dao Arrow disappeared again and again, and was forced back by the powerful rule power of the ant colony, with the sharpness and tenacity of the arrow, tens of thousands of demon ants were still killed in this wave of attack and spur.
The power of the attack of the tower's arrow energy can already be seen in this wave of attacks alone.
"Fellow cultivators, don't drive the arrows to attack again, just drive the two batches of arrows back and forth to form a defense, and protect them within the range of the tower's defensive wall. ”
Seeing that the arrows were contaminated with a slight power of ant venom rules, Xu Zhengmao's words immediately resounded in everyone's ears.
Although the body of the huge tower is protected by a defensive mang, if it is attacked by countless demon ants without any resistance, it will inevitably be melted and gnawed by the powerful demon ants in an instant, resulting in a great loss of energy.
All the cultivators are people with extraordinary insight and rich experience in fighting, so they naturally know how to choose.
After a new wave of arrow energy shot out, it did not pierce and stab away, but rushed around the huge tower body with an extremely reasonable node.
Suddenly, within a radius of more than ten zhang around the body of the Gongshou Tower, nearly 10,000 arrows of energy were interspersed, and an arrow array composed of huge arrows was revealed on the spot.
Those arrows that were contaminated with the regular power of the ant colony were retracted by a few people behind the tower, and they immediately took it upon themselves to try their best to remove the energy on it.
At this time, Yun Yu and the other four monks knew the power of the Gong Receiving Tower, and used the powerful power of the formation space to strangle the ant venom rule power attached to the light arrow.
Tens of thousands of demon ants shot out, and the reddish-brown mist spewed out, and they all flew towards the array of arrows.
