Chapter 124: Ghoul Ants
Goblin.
When Xiao Qiang's military thorn pierced into my stomach, I knew that Xiao Qiang was controlled by this thousand-year-old blood tree, and he was able to rely on Xiao Qiang's body to speak, proving that this tree demon still has a certain ability to think.
Such a tree demon has Xiao Qiang's body as a medium, and the tricks we used just now can't fool him at all, and it's useless to cover his mouth with his feet, which also explains the reason why Yan Jing can go to the other side, is that this tree demon doesn't want to kill him at all, maybe it's to use Yan Jing to deliberately leave that line of words to remind me.
The Dryad let go of Yanjing and let go of Liu Qianying and Wei Renxi, why did you want to lure me over, as if you were deliberately designed to kill me, could it be that this ancient tomb thousands of years ago was built just to wait to kill me?
I was amused by this absurd idea, it was impossible at all, and then I thought of someone who wanted to kill me, that was the cold wind female ghost, that female ghost also had to kill me, could this blood tree have something to do with her?
"How can you not bleed." Xiao Qiang's strange voice came to my ears again, and many tentacle-like soft branches rolled over, as if they were about to pierce my veins and forcibly suck blood.
I wielded the Kangbo Wooden Sword to cut off these branches, and at the same time cut off the branches attached to Xiao Qiang's feet, which pulled Xiao Qiang up and carried it on his shoulders, without the support of the Dryad, Xiao Qiang's breathing immediately became extremely weak, and the person also came to his senses, seeing that I was first happy and then blamed.
"Qin Ling, you are crazy, why are you here to save me."
"Nonsense, the next time you want to die, throw the thorn away, I can't see it." I said loudly while chopping the tentacle-like branches, but there were more and more branches, and I had to take care of Xiao Qiang Soon I will not be an opponent.
Xiao Qiang also knew that there was no time to talk nonsense at this time, so he said in a weak voice in my ear: "Stab him in the face with the Kangbo Wooden Sword, otherwise we will all die." ”
I nodded, there are tentacle-like branches here, three meters away is the attack range of the blood tree needles, I have no way back, now I can only desperately, several branches rolled over, I pretended to be careless and was caught in my left hand, the branches desperately dragged me towards the trunk, and the other paper attacks immediately slowed down.
After all, the Dryad's thinking ability is too poor, otherwise he would definitely not be so careless, poof, the Kangbo Wood Sword is like a real sword stabbed into the tofu, and my sword is stabbing into the eyebrows of the strange face.
The strange face was distorted and deformed, especially the mouth became a long strip, like a person's expression of extreme pain, the whole blood tree trembled wildly, and the needle rain on the crown of the tree shot out endlessly, like a wave, there was not even a gap, and soon the crown of the blood tree became bare.
I looked three meters away, and found that the power of the needles of the blood tree this time was much greater than the last time, and even those dark red ones were pierced and shattered, and the white thing inside was also exposed, like a pearl-like Huarun, but I vaguely saw that there seemed to be something moving there.
Click, the trunk of the Bloodthirsty Tree began to crack, and the twisted cracks quickly tore the trunk apart, and the Kangbo Wooden Sword was caught in my hand, and the blood color became more vivid, flashing with a swaying red light, brighter and sharper than the original dark red.
I found that the strength in my body has become a lot bigger again, if the original strength is comparable to that of a bronze zombie, now I already have almost the strength of Mao Zombie, and when I encounter Mao Zombie Dong Wanhua has the strength to fight, it is absolutely no problem to protect myself.
I was still feeling the sudden increase in strength in my body, and I heard Liu Qianying's anxious voice in the distance, "Qin Ling, look at the ground." ”
I quickly looked at the ground, and found that three meters away, there was a strangely shaped thing in the crystals that were pierced by the needles, it curled inside, and was frantically gnawing on the needles of the blood tree, the needles containing blood essence made these things grow rapidly, and soon there was a clicking sound on the ground, and those crystals began to crack one after another, and they were about to burst.
Once it bursts open, the contents will definitely come out, and there is no need to think that these things are also going to eat people, and there are so many of them, even if I have the strength to be stiff, I will be gnawed clean, and there will be no bones left.
I carried Xiao Qiang over, because my strength had increased, so the speed was very fast, but when I joined Liu Qianying, all those things had hatched, these were blood-colored ants, each as big as a fist.
"Are these marching ants?" Liu Qianying's face turned pale, looking at the blood-colored ants on the ground devouring those needles, there were a lot of needles, so they hadn't attacked us for the time being, and at the same time, the speed of their devouring was too fast, and the needles would soon be eaten by them.
"Let's go." I pulled Liu Qianying to run forward, and Wei Renshi hurriedly followed, although he was a little old and had a good physique, he was not slower than me.
Hissing, the sound of ants crawling behind them came from behind, and it seemed that they had finished eating the needles, and the hungry ants had already caught up and were going to eat us too.
I have seen the record of marching ants, the size of a fingernail marching ants are overwhelmingly foraging, no one survives everywhere they pass, except for a little blood sprinkled on the ground, even the bones have been gnawed away, it is definitely an extremely miserable end, not to mention that the ants behind them are more than the marching ants, and they are much more ferocious, surrounded by them, and they definitely die very miserable.
The speed of those blood-colored ants was very fast, and I carried Liu Qianying on my back again, but the distance was still getting closer and closer, Wei Renshi behind him was old after all, and he could keep up with it in a short time, but after a long time, it was a little bad, and his breathing was obviously heavy, and it seemed that he would soon be unable to run.
"You guys go first, don't wait for me." Wei Renshi bent over and exhaled hot air, his face flushed and waved his hands, his eyes full of despair.
"Hurry up, there must be a way to escape ahead." I pulled Wei Renshi, but in fact, I didn't know if there was a way out ahead, "What are these things, it's really hateful." ”
"Those are all ghoul ants, and they turned out to be specially cleaning up the battlefield." Yanjing leaned against the stone wall, watched me run over, and snapped his fingers in his hand while answering.
"Necrometres." I've heard this name in many novels, but this is the first time I've heard of ghoul ants as tools used to clean up battlefields.
Yan Jing snapped his fingers in his hand: "Two thousand years ago, the Seven Kingdoms conquest and war continued, and a lot of people had to die in every battle, and the labor cost of burying it was too large, and the army needed to rest and have no time at all, but the violent corpse wilderness was easy to cause plague, so many times, these tasks were handed over to the local people, and the people were already suffering, most of them were old and weak, women and children, and it was difficult to do such a thing, and the results were very slow. ”
"Since then, after the battlefield, there is fertile land, and the people can use their labor to farm, and the reputation of the Qin Dynasty has also become excellent, and it can be said that this corpse ant has also had a certain effect on the unification of the Qin Dynasty."
These words make me feel ridiculous, but when I think about it, I think it makes sense, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, of course, they will have a heart, no matter how tired they are, it is better than collecting corpses, "Don't say these useless things, no matter what this corpse ant was doing, now he wants to eat people, you can quickly tell us how to escape." ”
