"Captain, another brother has been bitten by a wolf-tooth beetle, and his leg is swollen like a bucket! Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

"Bear it! They'll only get worse! They can withstand it, but you can't?"

The miscellaneous soldier stood back.

Miscellaneous soldier B said loudly: "Captain, there is something here, you come and see!"

The captain of the soldier hurried over in three steps and two steps, and Soldier B pointed to a few cups on the ground and said, "Look, the cups, they are metal! They must have rested here, and when they saw us chasing after them, they fled." ”

The captain leaned down to pick up a cup and took a closer look, and said with a smile: "This is to deliberately lure us into the bait, if we really run away in a panic, the cups can't all get together." Besides......" He took out his obsidian short sword, pulled through a thick vine, and cut it with a sword, the clear liquid immediately gurgled out, he took the broken vine to his mouth, drank it happily, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "It's impossible for Yu Panji not to understand this." How can you have such idleness while fleeing and catching it with a cup? There is definitely an ambush ahead!"

Miscellaneous soldier C looked flattering: "The boss is wise! However, these cups ......."

The captain was speechless for a while, and waved his hand helplessly: "It's yours!"

Miscellaneous soldiers A, B and C cheered for a while, rushed up to grab the cup, and suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs.

"Captain, I have something to report to you. The miscellaneous soldiers did not participate in the scramble, and their faces were upright.

"Oh? ”

"Look what this is. ”

The captain took the palm-sized square burlap bag, pinched it, and said, "It seems to be powder inside?"

"yes, that's what it leaked out. The soldier held up the white powder on the fingers of his left hand to the captain, "This is deworming." ”

The captain perked up: "Does it work?"

"I stared at it for a while and saw that there were no bugs nearby. It is suspected that this is most likely the anthelmintic drug used by the Dorand people. There are also two packs of used ones. ”

As he spoke, the miscellaneous soldier raised his right hand, holding two or three similar cloth bags between his fingers: "These are all dropped nearby." ”

The captain pondered for a moment and said, "It's still weird, why is the medicine of the Dorand people so effective?"

"Maybe it's because the bugs on our side don't like the smell. By mistake, they were blinded by mistake. We can apply this powder to chase after us. ”

"Now is not the time. Wait a little longer, and when they can't stand it anymore, we'll apply the powder and chase after it. Brethren, rest. ”

While the pursuers are recuperating with great ambition, their prey is hiding in the bushes not far away, watching their every move.

"Royce, Royce, do you hear that?

"Hear me, Isabella. The enemy is resting and drinking. ”

George's voice came, "Did they change lanes?"

"No, they didn't change any routes, they just went the way we drove out. ”

"Very well, Riley is manipulating the Scout Sbee, and in five minutes, we will have a complete topographic map of the vicinity. Did they spot the bait?"

"Found out, both the cup of water and the powder. Now, they've got two people to test the effects of the powder...... Estimated we would have 20 minutes more. ”

"Very good, you have to be careful. ”

"Understood. Dark, how's your side?"

Duck said, "I've seen the lair of the Black Reaper. Wow, that's big!"

Royce's scalp tightened: "You rushed forward alone?"

"No, no, not far away, Yupanki and George's inference is correct, the Black Grim Reaper sleeps at night and acts during the day. The place where we rested, the flat land with water and grass was their hunting ground. It's so dangerous, if we come in not at night but during the day, we will be wiped out. ”

"What the hell is this......?"

"Giant black ants. ”

"How big are the ants?"

"That's the size of a thumb. ”

Royce scoffed: "Are you kidding?

"Such a big guy, you don't need more, five hundred, you can try it. Eating you is like eating melon seeds. ”

"I'm dry and skinny, but you're still a fat cow. ”

Duck laughed and continued, "Eight-meter-high and five-meter-wide ant tower, guess how many ants can be hidden?"

"This kind of soft ground can't carry such a heavy ant tower, and according to the height, the foundation and support below are estimated to be at least six to eight meters. Fourteen-meter ant tower, who wants to challenge it?"

Isis raised her hand: "Me." Forbidden spells. ”

Dark: "Living cannon!"

Royce: "Wizard Siege Crossbow!"

Isabella: "Cruel Angel Throws Flame Bombs!"

George was speechless.

Yupanki said: "You don't seem to be nervous at all?"

Duck laughed, "Know what it is, know what it can and can't do, what are you nervous about?" I'll tell you a rule, as long as George speaks in this textbook tone, he must be holding back bad ideas." ”

"Oh, then I'll tell you one," said Yupanki, "and depending on the direction of the creek, there must be a river not far away, and it would be better to dig a ditch and fill the ant's nest." ”

"How can you dig a canal in such a dense forest?"

Yupanki pointed to the spinning saw in Dark's hand: "There must be more than one kind of household that is so good, right? It is estimated that it is not difficult to dig a canal." ”

George said, "We have to be loving. How can we destroy the homes of these little creatures, and rely on them to resist the pursuers!"

"What to do? Ants aren't slimes, and we don't have pheromones on our hands. ”

"Let's gather together first, Duck, let's go find you. You must keep an eye on the ant nest, it's almost dawn, and as soon as the ants show up, tell me! Royce and Yupanki, go and disguise yourself. Don't let the enemy discover the path we're on. ”

The crowd acted in separate steps.

Moments later, the crowd gathered under a large tree to the southeast of the tower. It was already dark.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father fought with such ants when he was young, and the High Priest of Tezomuc was also acting with him. ”

Yupanki was surprised: "Your father has been to us, and you know the high priest?"

"At that time, my father traveled here and found this kind of ant, and he used all kinds of means, but he could not cut the grass and eradicate the roots. These little ones are super resistant to antibiotics and adapt quickly no matter what tricks they use. So insecticides are not as good as inducers. ”

"What is an inducer?"

"A special kind of powder that lures them where they need to go. ”

Yu Panji was dumbfounded: "Could it be that you asked me to find herbs, not to prepare insect repellent powder?"

"Of course, that's for the Grim Reaper ants. The real insect repellent powders are the ones I asked everyone to apply in the early hours of this morning. ”

"That'...... The guy who smeared the lure powderβ€”"

In the morning light, a giant black-armored ant the size of a thumb peeked out from the top of the tower, raised its sharp jaws high, and seemed to give orders.

Duck exclaimed, "Come out!"

Immediately afterwards, countless identical black-armored giant ants swarmed out, converging into a wide stream, and killing along the path where everyone came.

George smiled: "Unless they turn around and escape from the jungle immediately, their lives will only be ten minutes left." ”

Yupanki shuddered and asked Dark, "You Doranders, that's how ...... Well, is it fierce?"

Duck shook his head: "This guy is not from Doland, he is the only pervert in Doland!

George got up and walked straight towards the ant tower, without looking back: "I'll catch the ant queen." ”
