With her skillful and precise movements, the iron filings slid off one after another. The pattern carved on it, called the "Rune Circuit", increases the diversion speed of psionic energy. Chen Xing saw it in his eyes, but it was a little strange, the material of this gun was very ordinary, it was not mixed with Mithril, even if it was engraved with a rune circuit, it would not work.

After about half an hour, Alia put down her carving knife and stretched her waist, looking like she was done.

Seeing this, Chen Xing frowned, and was about to question, but saw the former take out the medicine box, take out a silver needle, bite the silver tooth, and prick it on his finger.

A bead of blood that seemed to have a golden snake swimming away and red flames fell into the rune circuit, spreading rapidly, like flowing lava molten iron.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Xing's heart was extremely horrified, he didn't expect that the Flame Demon bloodline could be used like this, it was really strange.

"Cheap him." There didn't seem to be enough blood, and she grunted and squeezed out one more drop.

It didn't take long for the blood to fill the entire rune circuit, emitting an orange-red shimmer, as if a trace of heat rushed towards him. After a while, the glimmer faded and the blood disappeared without a trace.

Alia took out some more tools, disassembled the gun, polished it part by part, put it back together, and finally added a triple scope.

"Don't say I did it." Alia handed the gun to Chen Xing and said with some unhappiness, as if she felt that she had lost.

"Well, of course, it's a little secret between us." Chen Xing said with a smile. As soon as he took over and poured in a small amount of psionic energy, he noticed the change.

First, the rate of energy storage has increased significantly; Secondly, he felt that some of the psionic energy was converted into heat, and although the sum of the energy remained the same, heat energy was more effective for most mutated creatures, such as living corpses, ghouls, etc.

Coming out of Aliya's place, Chen Xing went to the pharmacy again, exchanged all the gold coins exchanged for the four gold bricks for enhancement potions, and then sent the three gold bricks to the mayor's mansion, and then returned to the underground water station to concentrate on improving his strength.

During this time, Chen Xing asked Suna to move north as soon as possible, away from the No. 65 Underground Survival House and Orchid Town, and dig a new anthill to avoid danger in the future and not have time to retreat.

Not to mention the steam giant silkworm inside the iron gate, it may not be long before someone discovers the underground survival house. At that time, the local forces have sent people to station, and the vicinity of Orchid Town will become unsafe, and the anthill may be discovered at any time.

But as long as Suna moves twenty kilometers north and then digs up the original anthill, it will not attract the attention of the strong. After all, on the Red Earth Continent, there are so many such anthills, unless it is related to the No. 65 Underground Survival Center, no one is interested in going deep underground, and a nest of small ants can't get by.

In the midst of injections and exercises, time passed imperceptibly......

Half a month later, Suna ate all the corpses of the tarantula in the crypt, and her stomach was not only fat, but also grew a hard carapace.

Today, she is like a container truck nailed with steel plates, armed to the teeth. The carapace on the belly of the worm was smooth and translucent, and the rifle bullets hit it, and all of them bounced off, leaving only a shallow scratch. And her vitality, after absorbing the Golden Spider King, broke through 1,800 points and approached 2,000 points.

In addition, the pair of sickle legs on top of her have also undergone a fundamental change, originally only larger than the other knuckles, but now they have become extremely thick, dozens of times the size of the other knuckles. With a scythe, the granite can be chiseled.

Suna seemed to have inexhaustible strength, digging the road herself and moving to the north. The excavated soil is transported by the worker ants to the original nest for landfilling.

And during this time, Chen Xing has also improved a lot, his strength has increased by 3 points, now it is 18, his agility has increased by 4 points, now it is 25, his physique has increased by 2 points, and now it is 12, and his spiritual power has not changed, it is still 15.

This strength is only one step away from the standard elite level. It's just that his strength growth is getting lower and lower, and he is almost about to use an intermediate-level potion. The talent is too low, and there is really no way, so I can only make up for it with money.

At the beginning of October, the weather starts to cool down and the air gets drier.

Quaker returns to the water station and says that he has contacted a tribe willing to relocate, but that Chen Xing must be present and make an agreement with the chief. He marked the exact address on the map, and then left for the next tribe.

Chen Xing spent two days adjusting his physical condition and preparing to enter the depths of the wilderness.

But before he could leave, a major event happened that caused him to cancel the trip.

The worker ants who were exploring the way dug an underground ant nest more than 20 kilometers north of the groundwater station.

It was a nest of mutant red ants. Compared with termites, red ants are smaller, but their combat effectiveness is much stronger. On average, 1.5 termite workers can compete with one red ant worker ant.

Since both sides are experts in digging holes, once encountered, it is the result of endless death. Only one queen is allowed in the same area.

Chen Xing quickly pulled out the encyclopedia and looked it up.

[Mutant Red Fire Ant, scientific name: Abyssal Red Fire Ant]

[Native Place: Abyssal Plane]

[Distribution: Multiverse Carbon Life Zone]

[Habit: Swarm Creature]

[Traits: Psionic affinity, Brimstone affinity, Telepathy]

[Introduction: This creature lives on the cliff wall of the bottomless abyss, is an omnivorous creature, has venomous glands in the body, is released through the sting needle on the tail, can skillfully absorb and use psionic energy, likes to swallow sulfur, has a pair of fire lungs, can spew high-temperature flames......]

After watching for a long time, Chen Xing found that the biggest difference between mutant red fire ants and mutant termites lies in the decomposition and absorption of substances, as well as the difference in combat effectiveness. The former is strong in combat and has a variety of attack methods, while the latter seems to have no other means than to bite with ant pincers. But the latter is extremely adaptable, and when they grow up, they can eat anything, eat anything, and even devour the entire planet.

It can only be said that each has its own advantages, but at this stage, the advantages of mutant red fire ants are very large.

What's more, Suna's side has suffered repeated losses, and just after fighting the spider swarm, she has killed a lot, so it can be said that it is a matter of life and death.

Chen Xing naturally couldn't leave, so he quickly went down to the anthill and fought side by side with Suna.

The red fire ants move very quickly, and in less than five hours, they have entered the deepest part of the nest.

A large number of termites are kept outside the hatchery room to prevent red fire ants from harming the eggs. These are the foundations of an anthill, and when hit, they are devastating.

Of course, due to the presence of Chen Xing, even if there is only Suna left, there is no problem. But if there is no external force to intervene, it will be difficult for the queen ant who has lost her children to even forage for food.

"Squeak!" "Squeak!" "Squeak!"

Red fire ants are only half the size of termites, but they are extremely fast, dense, crawling all over the road, rushing quickly.

Chen Xing didn't say a word, and with a "ding" sound, he pulled the ring buckle of the burning grenade and smashed it into the corridor.

I only heard a "raging" sound, the flames filled the corridor, the fire red ants let out a painful hiss, and a burst of burnt smell came to the nose.
