Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Colony of Steel Ants
The group walked slowly along the ruins, occasionally encountering one or two demon beasts, but after seeing so many humans, the demon beasts turned away with great interest.
Naturally, those demon beasts were either herbivorous demon beasts or demon beasts with low combat effectiveness.
This situation made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
After walking for almost an hour, something different appeared on the ground in front of me.
The gravel on the ground is much finer, some resembling gravel. And at a distance, a dark underground hole will appear.
"Be careful, everyone, this is the territory of steel ants, don't provoke those guys."
Lin Chen spoke in a low voice, and everyone became nervous again.
The steel ant is a fist-sized ant, and its combat power is not strong, and it is not as strong as the one-horned rabbit. However, this thing is social and social. If you provoke them, they will rush to them, and no matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to resist.
The crowd moved forward slowly, holding their breath.
At that moment, a sound of laughter sounded. The crowd searched for prestige, and then they saw a row of ants crawling quickly towards this direction.
Those ants carry all kinds of things on their backs. There are pieces of flesh from monsters, wild fruit leaves, and things like raw ore.
The team of steel ants also spotted the humans in front of them, the tentacles above their heads swayed, and the whole team stopped.
A group of people and a group of ants confronted each other.
Li Xiaomo looked back along the ant colony, behind him was an extremely long battle line, and he didn't know how many steel ants were transporting supplies.
"Everyone, be careful, back off, we may have taken advantage of them!"
Lin Chen spoke in a low voice and led everyone to slowly retreat.
No one hesitated, no one spoke, and they retreated step by step in unison.
After everyone retreated for a distance of more than ten meters, the tentacles on the top of the steel ant's head in front of the steel ant team shook again.
The stagnant ant team began to move forward again, and when passing by Li Xiaomo and his party, some steel ants curiously turned their heads to look at this side.
As long as you don't fight, it's good, that's what everyone thinks.
Watching the brigade of steel ants line up and slowly leave, everyone was relieved.
At the outskirts of the line, there was a newcomer covered in cold sweat, and seeing that the steel ant colony did not intend to attack them, he exhaled heavily, and then showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.
He reached out to a nearby wall, as if trying to ease his limp legs.
As his hand pressed against the wall, the wall shook slightly. The nervous newcomer didn't notice this and leaned up.
Then, the wall tilted and fell to the ground with a thud.
And the unlucky guy was crushed underneath the rubble.
"Bastard, what's going on!"
The sudden sound startled everyone. The marching team of steel ants also seemed to be frightened and scattered. When everyone saw the unlucky guy who was crushed under the rubble, they all looked ugly, didn't this bastard know to be careful?
Twitter!
A piercing scream sounded, and everyone turned their heads to see a riot in the steel ant colony, and those steel ants crawled around like a black ocean rolling.
"It's not good, these steel ants are frightened, everyone retreat, don't do it!"
Peng Hao let out a low snort, pulled the people around him and stepped back.
Even if they didn't need Peng Hao to remind them, everyone knew that things were not good, and they retreated again and again.
The steel ants gathered together, screeching and screeching, accompanied by the clattering of their antennae flailing and clattering overhead, as if someone were sending a telegram at a rapid pace.
A group of steel ants gathered into a black wave, slowly surging towards Li Xiaomo and his party. Many people's faces were pale, some people broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and some people drew their weapons, their eyes wide, staring at the steel ant colony.
"Don't act rashly, retreat, keep retreating!"
Peng Hao also drew his long sword and looked at the steel ant colony with gloomy eyes.
The steel ant colony is getting closer, closer and closer, and they don't seem to be intent on attacking directly. Instead, it seemed to drive Li Xiaomo and his party out of their territory.
A black wave surged in, and black waves crashed against the ground in front of everyone.
With the black attack, everyone retreated one after another.
Screams, clicks and clicks come and go, shaking people's eardrums. A mass of steel ants was entangled, as if turning into a big hand, slowly rising and dancing towards the crowd. It seems that he wants to pinch everyone to death.
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and looking at the big black hand in front of him, he let out an angry roar and slashed over.
With a bang, the hunting machete slashed at the steel ant, as if it had been slashed on real steel, and even sparks could be seen splashing around.
"Bastard, don't do it!"
Peng Hao shouted, but it was too late.
The big black hand was split, countless steel ants fell to the ground, and in the next second, all the black oceans were boiling. An even more piercing scream rang out, followed by waves crashing wildly.
The machete-wielding bastard was instantly overwhelmed by the black sea, and he let out a burst of screams, but more steel ants pounced on him and burrowed into his mouth, and his screams were silent in less than five seconds.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Peng Hao shouted, and the long sword in his hand swung out bursts of cold light, splitting and killing the steel ants in front of him.
The others also waved their machetes as they stepped back.
However, there were so many steel ants that they chopped down and flew one batch after another. The most important thing is that the bodies of those steel ants are too strong. So much so that with a single slash, the strong one can kill one or two steel ants, and then the machete will not be able to advance an inch.
And the weaker one, with a slash, just shot a spark, and then the steel knife was stopped.
Li Xiaomo slashed out with a knife, killing three steel ants, and then heard a bang, his arm was numb, and he couldn't move forward anymore. As his attack stopped, more than a dozen steel ants rushed quickly, their hideous mouthparts opened, trying to split Li Xiaomo directly into two pieces.
"Be careful!"
Ye Wenlong's voice sounded, and his metalized body blocked in front of Li Xiaomo.
A series of ding-ding-dinging sounds sounded, and Ye Wenlong was hit by the bite force and kept retreating, until his sister held his body to avoid falling down.
"Stand back! Hurry back! ”
Lin Chen seemed to turn into a gust of wind, flashing around in the team, assisting the team members to resist the attack of the steel ants. There are also some unlucky eggs who were bitten by steel ants and screamed again and again.
Fortunately, the steel ants are not big, so they will not be fatally injured, but the jagged-like mouthparts bite the body, and the smell is really enough for everyone to bear.
A group of people fought and retreated, but there were more and more steel ants around.
"Break through, you can't be surrounded by them!"
Peng Hao shouted, and the long sword in his hand slashed, directly killing a passage.
Lin Chen let out a loud shout, took out two transparent glass bottles from his backpack, and smashed them on the ground without saying a word.
The glass bottle fell to the ground, and a lighter appeared in Lin Chen's hand, and the flames rose, and he directly threw the lighter on the broken glass bottle.
With a bang, the flames burst into flames.
