Chapter 158: Fortress Battle (4)
The protagonist hears a noise overhead and looks up.
I saw that not far overhead, countless parasitic ants appeared on the branches and leaves of the bushes, among which there was a pale gold worker ant.
Instead of retreating to the nest, as the protagonist suspects, the parasitic ants take up an ambush here. If the Divine Envoy King Legion dares to pursue, then these parasitic ants will jump from the tree when the formation of the Divine Envoy King Legion passes, taking advantage of the chaos of the Divine Envoy King Legion's formation, giving full play to the single combat power advantage of the parasitic ants, and can also make the silk thread parasitic bacteria cause more kills.
However, the Divine Envoy King Legion did not chase after the ordinary big-headed ants with a roar. Instead, the protagonist rode Xiaoqing and flew to the ambush site of the parasitic ants by mistake.
The pale golden worker ant lying in ambush in the tree suddenly spotted this strange male ant riding on a fly. So, under the orders of the light gold worker ant, countless parasitic ants emerged from the front of the leaves and branches where they were hiding, and jumped in the direction of the protagonist.
The protagonist has always been relatively safe in the air, except for the last time he accidentally hit a spider web, he has not encountered any danger.
Especially in the previous battles with parasitic ants, the enemy generally can't spot the protagonist flying high in the air, and even if he does, there is nothing to be done.
One of the things that the protagonist can rely on is the height of flight, which is beyond the reach of parasitic ants on the ground; The second is Xiaoqing's keen reflexes, which can automatically avoid sudden obstacles.
But at this moment, countless parasitic ants jumped down from a higher height, and there were so many of them that it seemed as if a cloud of smoke had suddenly fallen in the air.
Whether it's climbing, falling, turning, or accelerating, it seems that there is no escape from the vast web woven by the enemy.
Xiaoqing's huge compound eye, which can almost cover a 360-degree perspective, also sees the danger of falling from the sky, and without the protagonist's command, it has flapped its wings with all its might, as if it wants to rush out of it.
But its capabilities are also limited, just like a fly that is good at flying and has a keen sense, it is difficult to escape the blow of a fly swatter. This is because the speed at which the fly swatts has exceeded the reaction and escape speed of the flies, and the dense holes in the fly swatter prevent the fly swatting from generating enough air flow to alert the flies.
Right now, the sneak attack of countless parasitic ant warriors falling from the sky is like a fly swatter with fine mesh.
Even though Xiaoqing had tried her best, a few parasitic ants still fell on it. If it weren't for the fact that the flies were too small, the consequences would be even more severe.
There are a total of four parasitic ants that fell on Xiaoqing's body.
The first parasitic worker ant happened to fall on Xiaoqing's head, and the second parasitic worker ant immediately smashed on her back, was bounced, and fell to the ground with a whirling hand.
The first parasitic worker ant was still lying on her stomach and luckily did not fall, and the protagonist was quick to take advantage of the opponent's unstable footing to knock her away with a punch, causing her to spin and fall.
The third is a parasitic soldier ant, which lands behind the protagonist's back, and while the protagonist is dealing with the first parasitic ant, it pounces on the protagonist's back and bites the protagonist's back from behind, and with a sharp force, the protagonist's intact but never useful wings are torn apart.
The fourth parasitic worker ant fell on Xiaoqing's right wing, she bit Xiaoqing's wing with her big jaw, Xiaoqing couldn't flap her wings, couldn't maintain her flying state, and fell to the ground slowly.
The protagonist is on Xiaoqing's back, only to feel that the world is spinning, and the parasitic soldier ants behind him are also shaking and can't find the north, so he unconsciously let go. The protagonist takes the opportunity to reach back and lift the damned soldier ant up in front of him, twisting her head with a twist of both hands, and then throwing the body away.
Xiaoqing was falling, but it was still trying to wave its wings, so it slowly spun and fell to the ground. The protagonist's hind limbs are tied to Qingqing's back with a safety rope, and he does not carry the pottery-headed knight gun that is standard for flying knights, so he cannot reach the parasitic ant that is firmly bitten at the far end of Xiaoqing's wing.
The protagonist hurriedly bends down to untie the safety rope, and the moment he unties the safety rope, the protagonist feels a strong attack under him, and he is bounced out.
Xiaoqing fell to the ground, but it adjusted its posture and tried to reduce the cushion, but it didn't make much of a big deal. The protagonist and the parasitic worker ant that bit its wings were bounced out, and by the way, a small piece of wing between the parasitic worker ant's jaws flew out.
Xiaoqing was so frightened that he ignored that the protagonist was not on his back, flapping his wings and flying into the sky, due to the mutilated wings, it flew staggeringly, but it was still at a very fast speed, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Now the protagonist is sitting on wax, there is no Xiaoqing, and there are strong enemies around, and it is not easy for him to return to the fortress alive.
At this point, the parasitic worker ant throws away the fragments of its wings and pounces on the protagonist. The protagonist is angry, and her head is flattened with a punch, leaving tissue fluid and brains of various colors on the ground.
The protagonist has time to look around, and the place where he falls is on a rock jutting out of the ground on the edge of the dense grass, more than a meter away from the bushes, a distance that even the pale golden worker ants can't effectively observe. The protagonist sees parasitic ants scurrying like headless flies all over the bushes underneath the bushes.
"Safe for now!" The protagonist breathes a sigh of relief, the enemy is far away, and he can't see himself, and he can sneak back to the fortress, not far away, or it won't be long before he is safe.
As the saying goes: the flag can't stand randomly, and the protagonist immediately understands this truth.
After seeing that the parasitic ants under the bushes have begun to send out search teams everywhere, the protagonist decisively climbs down the rocks and burrows into the grass next to them.
As for the torn wings, the protagonist never used them anyway, and with a little regret, the protagonist tore off the damaged wings.
Under the cover of the grass, the protagonist groped his way through the dense forest composed of countless grass stems, where there was almost no sunlight, and countless huge blades of grass overhead, forming a three-dimensional impermeable umbrella cover, with only a few refractive reflections of light falling to the ground, barely allowing the protagonist to see the way forward.
With a vague sense of direction, the protagonist has to climb over obstacles on the ground as he moves forward.
After just climbing over a tree branch blocking the way, the protagonist brushes away the dry fallen leaves in front of him.
A parasitic ant suddenly appears in front of him, eye to eye with the protagonist, antennae to antennae.
The hostile message transmitted by the tentacles startled the protagonist, but the other party reacted quickly and pounced on the protagonist with large jaws.
It's a pity that the protagonist is no longer the rookie he used to be, and his combat experience is already very rich. The protagonist dodges and follows up with a punch that results in front of the enemy.
Killed the enemy, but as if he had pressed a switch, the dense footsteps in the grass and forest suddenly remembered,
