Chapter 86: Ant Colony 3
Underground lair.
The little wanderer named Bartow, who walked behind Hagi, looked at everything around him in surprise and muttered, "There are so many Ant-Men here......"
The appearance of the Zela ant clan is very similar to that of ants, but the upper body has a vague humanoid appearance, and their forelimbs are very flexible, which can carry complex handling tasks and know how to repair some construction machinery. All of the Zela ants have varying degrees of psionic talent, which is a sign that they inherit the bloodline of the starry sky ant clan, and ordinary ant colonies are far from being as powerful as them.
The membership structure of the whole nest is relatively simple.
The most numerous of them are the worker ants, which weigh only sixty or seventy pounds, and they can easily lift two or three hundred pounds of stone, and their strength is probably stronger than that of many adult men.
"So many Ant-Man, what do they eat?" a wanderer wondered.
The warrior monk next to him pointed to some kind of lilac underground moss plant in the distance, and said in a low voice, "It seems to be that thing." I see a lot of worker ants busy over there. ”
Bands of soldier ants appeared in front of them.
These soldiers looked sluggish, they didn't seem to have much self-awareness, more like tools of war to obey orders, they were about six feet long, about five feet high at the front, their upper body was erect, and they weighed about two hundred pounds. These ants have natural armor, sharp claws and mouthparts, and sharp stingers, and although they have not fought against them, they feel much stronger than ordinary soldiers. The black and oppressive soldier ants parted in front of them, and then one by one strangely shaped nests appeared in front of them, guarded by the more large ant colony guards, and some special ant tribes with small bodies but well-developed tentacles on the top of their heads, and their bodies exuded strong psionic fluctuations.
"The queen ant is waiting for you. "The male ant named Zemi said.
The girl Hagi hesitated slightly, and then stepped into the huge nest.
The whole nest was empty, and in the center was a huge queen, who was more than twelve feet long, with a very small upper body, but a very large lower body, and probably weighed nearly 5,000 pounds.
Her sheer size makes it difficult to even move, with some liquid food next to her and worker ants outside that feed her.
The hazy female voice sounded again: "Welcome to the ant nest." Human!"
The huge queen ant in front of her stood up with great difficulty, her slender forelimbs slightly overlapped and bowed her head, and she seemed to have a wisdom far superior to that of other ant tribes.
"You saved us?" Hagi looked at the strange creature in front of him in surprise.
For this group of people, the Zela ant clan is a very strange existence.
The queen ant exudes a strong spiritual power field all over her body, isolating any outside peeping ability, although it seems to be difficult to move, but the creature in front of her is indeed an extremely difficult legendary rank species, the queen ant of the Zela ant clan has a powerful spiritual energy, and the challenge level is more than 21!
"Yes. The queen ant in front of her nodded slightly.
She stared at Hagi in front of her, as if knowing that she was the leader, and said slowly, "Our worker ants have discovered your tracks, so we took the risk to save you and ask for some help. ”
The social structure of the ant tribe is not as complex as that of humans, so the communication is also very straightforward.
"Help?" Hagi said, looking up suspiciously.
"Yes. The queen ant in front of her nodded slightly, "After capturing our empress on the Omen Star, the Zela Ant Empire has already fallen. ”
"We're just some poor exiles. ”
Hagi turned to look at the dense array of soldier ants outside, and said in a low voice, "Actually, your strength is still very strong. Why don't you try to fight back against the monsters?"
Hearing this, the Queen Zela smiled bitterly, the tentacles on top of her head swayed slightly, and said sadly, "Human." The power of the Death Omen Star is far more powerful than you think...... He was absorbing the essence of the ant colony deep underground, and countless armies of monsters were hatching at the moment. ”
"We don't even have enough troops here to challenge His clone......"
The girl's mouth opened wide in surprise when she heard this.
How can it be?
Along the way, she sensed many ant clan guards with powerful spiritual powers, and it was conservatively estimated that there were more than five legendary ant clans in this nest, plus so many ant clan soldiers, couldn't even challenge the clone of the Death Omen Star?
"The Omen Star has bred the corrupted monsters of the previous generation with the flesh and blood of terrestrial species. ”
"Now. ”
"Many of these corrupted monsters have lost their vitality, and he needs more flesh essence to give birth to new ones. ”
The queen looked at us calmly and said, "He won't let us go." ”
"It won't be long before an army of monsters from the underground will find us. ”
The queen slowly lowered her head, stretched out the tentacles on top of her head in front of Hagi, and said slowly, "Human." Come here. I'll show you something and you'll understand. ”
The girl Hagi walked over a little hesitantly.
As the soft tentacles touched her forehead, a wave of spiritual energy spread in an instant, and the next moment she was in a huge battlefield.
The whole battlefield is like a huge spider web, unfolding in the underground passages that extend in all directions, and I don't know how much coverage there is, just what she can perceive is millions of ant colonies, and the tragic battle broke out in the underground world, in the face of the surging army of monsters, countless worker ant soldiers and ants are not afraid of death in front of them, but their defense line is still becoming fragmented little by little, whether it is the high wall built or the huge ant colony, it cannot stop the encroachment of the ancient evil things, and one by one the psionic light clusters representing the ant queen disappear, and finally the minions of the ancient evil things drive straight in, the brightest spiritual light cluster representing the empress in the center of the ant colony has also disappeared completely.
"We failed. The queen said sadly.
The girl Hagi stood in place for a long time, and if she looked closely, she could see that her body trembled slightly: "Has the Death Omen Star become so powerful, is it still possible for us to defeat him?"
The Zela ant queen said slowly, "The empress of the Zela ant clan has been captured by the ancient evil creatures. ”
"The chances of her surviving are extremely low. ”
"Only three of the sixty-three queens in the colony who were responsible for assisting the empress finally escaped, and I have already broken the spiritual link with them, I am afraid that they are also very lucky now......
"We don't have much time left. ”
A faint wave of psionic energy came, and then a Zela Ant Clan Guardian appeared directly in the light of the teleportation, and its voice said in a hurry: "Queen Ant...... We found a large number of monsters approaching...... They seem to have found us......"
