Chapter 116: Mystery Ball (2)
What's inside this pair of mysterious balls?
The protagonist has the intention to open it to see, but he is afraid of damaging the specimen. What if the pair is one-of-a-kind? What if the other mysterious ants don't have this thing in their bodies? If you take the liberty of destroying it and don't find the answer you want, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future.
The protagonist thinks about it and orders the Praetorian Guards to move all the other corpses nearby, smash them one by one with a copper hammer, and then let his subordinates dig them up. It turned out that the corpses contained two balls connected by chitin wires, and twenty or thirty of them were found.
It seems that these two balls are not an isolated case, but are common in the body of mysterious ants. The origin of the mysterious ant is really not simple, these balls are not mutants like tumors, but are ubiquitous in their bodies.
If these mysterious balls are really man-made, think of the existence that can forcibly implant artificial objects in the bodies of tens of millions of ants, what a huge and terrifying organization it is?
So, does the strong combat power shown by the mysterious ants have something to do with these mysterious balls?
Driven by curiosity, the protagonist asks the Praetorian Guards to try to cut open a ball with a copper jaw knife to see what it is made into, but the Praetorian Guards find that the small ball is so hard that they can't bite down on it.
Thinking of the hardness of the outer carapace of the mysterious ant, the protagonist also understands that the shell of this ball also has the same defensive power, which cannot be damaged by ordinary weapons.
The protagonist simply tells the Praetorian Guards to get out of the way, and then enters the "Celestial Descends" state, swinging the copper hammer and smashing it at a ball!
He opted for a larger, oval-shaped mystical ball.
As the hammer fell, the shell of the orb cracked, and some pale blue liquid flowed out.
The liquid flowed through the dark shell without any abnormality, but as soon as it touched the ground, it "snorted", boiling and bubbling like boiling water, and the ground immediately became charred, and the plants that came close to it withered and died.
These light blue liquids are extremely corrosive, and the protagonist quickly takes a few steps back, and the other ants around him also retreat.
At this moment, the light blue liquid was exposed to the air, and it actually began to glow with a faint white light, and then the withered plants began to burn, and the flame ignited the liquid, and then spread along the traces of the liquid flow, and quickly burned to the inside of the mysterious ball.
This is only a matter of two or three breaths, and the alarm is already ringing in the protagonist's heart from the moment he sees the fire, and the instinct of the creature makes him aware of the great danger.
At this moment, his mind went blank, and his subconscious mind took over his body, and he immediately fled backwards regardless of it, hiding behind the plants.
Before the other ants could react, the mystery ball was completely covered in dark blue flames, forming a fireball.
Suddenly, a blinding white light shone brightly, reflecting this small piece of heaven and earth as if it were day, and then it quickly returned to its original appearance as night.
The brief bright light burned the compound eyes of the Divine Envoy King warriors who were looking at the mysterious ball, but before they could feel the pain of the burn of the compound eye, a wave of scorching air carried irresistible power, heat, and loud noise.
This mysterious ball exploded!
Like a super-mini nuclear bomb, with the mysterious ball as the center, a small mushroom cloud rose up, and an area of about one square meter on the ground was completely destroyed by the explosion, the land was scorched black, the vegetation turned to ashes, and the dozens of ants that had gathered here were no longer alive, and they didn't even see the ashes.
The ants a little farther away were also blown over by the air waves, and the whole grass swayed wildly like a summer storm.
The protagonist escaped from the explosion in time to hide behind vegetation and was not hurt much.
But what made him cry without tears was that the Praetorian Guard team under his command was so close that almost all the troops were wiped out, and even Mulan was lost.
After finally calming the panicked legionnaires, the protagonist leads everyone to search the neighborhood and count the battle damage, and more than forty ants are "missing" in the explosion just now, most of them are elite Praetorian Guards, and they are likely to be gone. Mulan has never been found, and she is also unfortunately killed in it.
This protagonist came to the first subordinate in the ant world to be ambushed, and he has always been loyal, and he did not die in the battlefield, nor did he die on the battlefield of swords and swords, but he died in a strange explosion accident, and the world is unpredictable, nothing more than this.
The protagonist is very sad, although the explosion just now was an accident, but in the final analysis, it was also the protagonist's mistake, and dozens of subordinates paid with their lives.
After calming down his emotions for a while, the protagonist asked his subordinates to find back the dozens of mysterious balls that were blown away by the explosion wave, but fortunately, these mysterious balls that would explode did not have a chain reaction because of the explosion just now, otherwise the explosion of just one mysterious ball would be like a super-miniature nuclear bomb, with a lot of flashes, heat waves, and mushroom clouds. If all of them explode, I'm afraid that the three legions gathered here will be more than lucky.
After a brief sweep of the battlefield, some wounded warriors were escorted back to the [bridgehead] on their own with a small number of troops, and the remaining mystery balls were also returned.
The protagonist has temporarily given up the plan to study these mysterious balls.,You can't see the mystery of the mystery ball without breaking it.,But if you force it open, it will explode.,The protagonist has nothing to do for the time being.。
Fortunately, the nature of these mysterious balls is quite stable, and it will be okay if they don't die and smash them open, otherwise the mysterious ants themselves will blow themselves up every day, how can they have the invincible ability to sweep the north bank of the river.
The regrouped Divine Legion of the King is no longer divided into forward guards, and all of them are gathered together, leaving the strength of more than two complete legions, and they are advancing towards [Target A] under the guidance of the scouts.
It seems that the mysterious ants surrounding [Target A] are few and scattered, and the mysterious ants that have just fallen in the grass are the only garrison in this direction, and the scouts have not found any other mysterious ants nearby.
After the Divine Envoy King's legion left for a while, the sky finally brightened, and the ant world ushered in a new day.
After another half hour or so, a team of hundreds of mysterious ants hurried to the battlefield and the scene of the explosion just now.
They are collecting corpses from the battlefield, whether they are mysterious ants or big-headed ants.
But after discovering that some mysterious ant corpses were broken and the mysterious balls inside disappeared, these ants stopped in place like an electric shock and kept shaking their bodies, and then suddenly went crazy and tore apart the corpses of those who lost the mystery balls, and then left to the north with the remaining corpses.
