Chapter 98: Breadtown (3)

The warriors of the Divine Messenger King were quickly ready, and they inserted one end of the smoke exhaust pipe made of knotweed into the entrance and exit of the nest of the parasitic corn hairy ants and buried it, and the other end was connected to the top of the combustion chamber, which was properly sealed with wet mud and other things.

There was also a lot of fuel piled up in the combustion chamber, all of which were dry grass and dead branches collected nearby, and it was not easy to collect so much fuel in a humid swampy area, but fortunately, there were many ants, and enough fuel was collected after some hard work.

A smoldering torch soaked in pine resin, carried by several ants, was sent into the combustion chamber and a pile of fuel made up of dead branches and hay was set on fire.

This combustion chamber is somewhat similar to the copper smelting furnace in [Dongyang City], with vents and inlets, so that the ants only need to continuously throw fuel into the inclined inlet on the ground, without the need to take care of it very closely, and it also avoids danger.

As the fire grew, and seeing that the time was right, the ants began to throw young grass blades, some spicy-smelling plants, poisonous fruit seeds and other smoke-emitting materials into the inclined inlet, and these materials rolled down the channel, and those that were piled up together and did not roll down were also poked into by the ants with long branches.

Soon, choking smoke rose from the combustion chamber, most of which poured out from the top knotted grass exhaust flue, and was directed to the parasitic corn hairy ant nest not far away, and a small part was discharged from the vents and feed ports, and the approaching Divine Envoy King warriors were also slightly smoked.

The smoke was mixed with all kinds of choking poisonous gases, and even the slightest leakage from the vents and inlets made the smoked god make the king warriors dizzy. The protagonist can only let the god envoy king warriors take turns to go up in batches to feed the materials, and let the smoked ants retreat to the air circulation to slow down.

The Divine Envoy King warriors who were affected were still like this, which shows the power of the smoke, not to mention the situation of those parasitic ants hiding in the nest.

Billowing smoke was channelled into the room along the knotweed pipes, and the entrance and exit to the top of the loaf hill had been completely sealed, and the poisonous smoke could only spread along the road inside the nest.

The Divine Envoy King warriors who are outdoors also continue to use moist soil to fill the cracks in the smoke near the entrances and exits, ensuring that all the poisonous smoke is enjoyed by the parasitic corn hairy ants of the nest.

Soon, around the top of the loaf hill slightly lower, there were some places that began to smoke one after another, which was the vent of the underground nest of some parasitic ants, the diameter was very small, and the parasitic ants usually did not enter and exit from here, and they were not discovered by the flying knights and scouts of the Divine Messenger King Legion before.

Interestingly, these dozens of vents are neatly arranged in a circle around the hill, which looks unusual.

These vents are barely the size of a single worker ant, and the openings are narrowed at the top of the vents to prevent other ants from invading them, so even if the main entrance is completely blocked, few parasitic ants can escape.

The warriors of the king were ordered to rush wherever the smoke came from, and continue to fill the vents with stones, dirt, etc., so that the poisonous smoke would not have a channel to escape.

Occasionally, some of the parasitic ants would be dizzy and struggle to dig through the dirt at the top of the vents, but the vigilant Warriors of the Legion of the Divine Angel King would quickly kill them and then notify the other warriors to come and fill the gaps.

Judging from the corpses of the killed parasitic ants, the poisonous smoke not only has a great impact on them, but also has a good killing effect on the silk parasites, the silk parasites on these corpses are all sluggish, although some are not dead, but even if the gods make the king warriors close at hand, these parasites have not left the original host of the dead, to find a new host, and it seems half-dead.

The Divine Envoy King Warrior was so busy all night, and continued to inject a large amount of poisonous smoke into the parasitic ant nest.

Although the protagonist does not know the current situation in the parasitic ant nest, it is estimated that there must be heavy casualties inside.

But it is unrealistic to let the hundreds of thousands of parasitic ants inside die just by relying on a single night of smoke attack, this parasitic ant nest must be very large, and there are always a large number of places where the poisonous smoke cannot reach, forming a shelter.

Just like a capsized shipwreck, there will be a sheltered space with air inside due to the air pressure, and when the poisonous smoke fills the ground, there will also be a large amount of shelter space for parasitic ants to linger.

In the second half of the night, the protagonist retreats to [Bread City] with the Divine Envoy King Warriors, and the combustion chamber, knotweed pipes, etc., are not treated in any way, anyway, even if the living parasitic ants are smart enough to destroy these devices, it will not take long for the Divine Envoy King warriors to rebuild - hollow weeds such as knotweeds are everywhere in the swamp, and it is not difficult to dig holes.

The warriors of the Divine Envoy King who had returned to [Bread City] began to rest in turn, while another group of warriors who had not gone out to fight last night began to take over the city's defenses and prepare for today's battle.

Yesterday, the parasitic ants and parasitic war beasts from all over the swamp had learned of the existence of [Bread City] from channels unknown to the Divine Envoy King's legions, and as soon as the morning dawned today, parasitic armies gathered outside the city one after another and began to attack the city.

Unlike yesterday, the nest of the parasitic corn hairy ant on the nearby roundbread hill did not move at first.

It wasn't until near noon that the original entrance to the top of the nest was opened, and a large colony of parasitic corn ants staggered out as if drunk.

Today, this parasitic ant nest has also sent tens of thousands of parasitic ants to participate in the siege, which shows that the protagonist's judgment is correct, and it is impossible for the poisonous smoke to completely cover the huge underground nest.

However, those parasitic ants that survived also suffered heavy losses when they tried to reopen the entrance.

After all, in just one night, the underground ant nest was almost completely closed, the poisonous smoke had nowhere to go, and the natural precipitation and degradation were slow, because the poisonous smoke was lighter than the air, and most of the poisonous smoke was still floating on the upper part of the nest.

The vicinity of the main entrance and exit is precisely the highest place in the entire underground parasitic ant nest, and the residual toxic smoke concentration is the highest.

The parasitic ants have not tried to re-dig new entrances and exits, and have been trying to rush through the poisonous smoke area and dig up the original entrances and exits.

As passive breathing creatures, ants can't even hold their breath, and batch after batch of parasitic ants fall into the poisonous fog, and if they can't be rescued back to the place where the air is circulating in time, they will soon die.

But the parasitic ants did not go to the rescue of their companions at all, and completely stepped on the corpses of their companions and opened the main entrance and exit little by little.

With the influx of fresh air outside, the parasitic ant nest finally survived the most dangerous time.
