Chapter 349: Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant
Now those black-backed ants and blood locusts in the tomb have completely confronted each other, and the black-backed ants used to sneak attack while the blood locusts were sleeping, but now that the blood locusts have woken up, they will naturally retaliate.
"Xiao Yan, which side do you think will win, the blackback ant or the blood locust?" I looked at the scene in the tomb and asked Li Huiyan at the same time.
Everything about black-backed ants, we only heard from Qin Gongkou, and no one knows whether they are so powerful.
We've already seen the horror of the Blood Locusts, and since they belong to the kind of Gu worms that are all poisonous, the battle between the two is really not necessarily the result.
"I can't say for sure, it's the first time I've seen blackback ants, and I've never heard of them before. But as far as I've observed, it's hard to tell the winner from the loser when the two go against each other. On the one hand, the number of black-backed ants is worrying, but on the other hand, the blood locusts fly in mid-air, and they can also take advantage of most of the attacks. Li Huiyan said.
"It's true, as long as the blood locusts fall to the ground unconsciously, those black-backed ants on the ground can't help them. If they choose to attack, they will definitely have an advantage to some extent. I nodded.
After Li Huiyan's analysis, I was relieved. Originally, I was worried that the blackback ant's numerical advantage would lead to a one-sided battle between the blood locust and the blackback ant, but now it seems that who will win and who will lose is really uncertain.
The best outcome, of course, is that the black-backed ants and the blood locusts will fight each other, and finally let us take advantage of the fisherman, so that we can also pass through the tomb without a hitch.
As he spoke, the Blood Locust and the Blackback Ant in mid-air had begun their first official confrontation. Countless blood locusts swooped down from mid-air, opened their big mouths and stretched out their legs to attack the black-backed ants on the ground at a very fast speed, and those black-backed ants on the ground were not to be outdone, and they all put on a defensive posture to fight with those blood locusts that swept down from the air.
I have to say that Li Huiyan's analysis just now is still very reasonable, and the clues can be seen from the battle between the blood locust and the blackback ant at this time.
The Blood Locust's flight speed was extremely fast, and when it rushed to the ground, it was almost a blink of an eye, and many blackback ants were carried into the air before they could react, and then they were ruthlessly torn into countless pieces by the Blood Locust.
Although the black-backed ants were also fighting back and biting many of the blood locusts that tried to attack the colony, this was only a minority, and most of the blood locusts still managed to catch their prey and fly back into the air.
Before, I heard Qin Gong say that the vitality of the blackback ant is extremely tenacious, and it can attack even if its body is torn into several parts, but now it seems that it is not as exaggerated as he said.
The vitality of the blackback ants is very tenacious, but the poison carried by the blood locust has become their nemesis, once bitten by the blood locust, almost most of the blackback ants have no capital to continue to resist, and can only wait to be killed.
The first round of the battle ended in victory for the Blood Locust, and the Blackback Ant lost almost two or three times as many as the Blood Locust.
"I didn't expect these little guys to be small, and they are really not ambiguous at all when they fight." I said with some emotion.
Whether it is a blood locust or a black-backed ant, once it bites the other party, it will not let go until the other party is killed.
And once the prey is completely bitten to death, they will swallow each other directly into their stomachs and eat them, and there will be no politeness at all.
"The battle of life and death, whether it is a blackback ant or a blood locust, there can be no ambiguity, and it is natural that it will be so dangerous." Li Huiyan said.
"Well, but there's one thing I'm curious about. Since those blackback ants are very afraid of the poison on the blood locust, and they will die in a short time if they are bitten, why are they okay after devouring the corpse of the blood locust? I said with some confusion.
"I don't know much about blackback ants, so I can't answer you anything about this." Li Huiyan shook her head and said.
"Xiao Yan, is it possible that this black-backed ant is actually a kind of Gu worm that we don't know, they are afraid of being bitten, but they are not afraid of swallowing poisonous things." I guessed.
"It's very likely, if the black-backed ant wasn't a Gu worm, it was unlikely that it would have such combat effectiveness." Li Huiyan nodded and said.
I glanced back at the other four people in the tomb, all of them were already asleep, and they did seem to be very tired.
Originally, we planned to take a good rest at the archaeological base, but who knew that we encountered a group of glasses men who suddenly appeared, causing everyone to not fully recover their energy.
Since there is nothing to do now, it is natural to take a good rest, and you can better face the dangers that will be encountered next.
Among the four people, especially Xiao Yue's sleeping appearance is the most ugly, shrugging his head, saliva has already flowed all over the ground, and the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned and he doesn't know what he dreamed of.
The battle in the graveyard continues, and the number of blood locusts and blackback ants is decreasing at a rapid rate.
The initial attack of the Blood Locust from mid-air caught the Blackback Ant by surprise, but after several encounters, the Blackback Ant seemed to have found a way to deal with the Blood Locust, which also made the number of deaths between the two sides become almost the same.
Because of the upper hand in the previous few times, the blood locusts, which were originally in small numbers, have become similar to blackback ants.
If this situation continues, in the end, whether the black-backed ant wins or the blood locust wins, there will be only a few left, and it will not pose much of a threat to us.
"Xiao Yan, why don't you go and rest for a while, I'll be alone here." Seeing that Li Huiyan on the side was not in good spirits, I spoke.
"Then what's going on, it's said that the two of them will guard together. If I go to sleep, I'll leave you alone with no one to discuss if something is urgent. Li Huiyan said.
"What's the urgency, I don't think the battle between the blood locusts and the blackback ants will end for a while, it's impossible for them to suddenly join forces to attack us again, right?" I said disapprovingly.
"I can't say for sure, if that's the case, can you handle it alone?" Li Huiyan said.
"This ...... To be honest, I can't handle it. "I was a little embarrassed, but I was honest.
"That's it, let's stay here together, so as not to make any mistakes, and when Qin Gong and the others wake up, we will go back to rest." Li Huiyan said.
"Well, since you've said so, what more can I say." I said. While I was talking to Li Huiyan, the battle in the tomb had never stopped.
As the battle between the Blood Locusts and the Blackback Ant continues, the numbers of both sides have become smaller and smaller.
At first, black-backed ants occupied almost the entire cemetery, but now they seem to be a little sparse, and their number is far less than before.
The situation of the blood locusts is not much better, and in the process of gradually fighting, the blackback ants have also summed up how to deal with them, which has also caused their numbers to decrease dramatically.
Looking at the blackback ants and blood locusts in the constant battle, my feelings are very complicated. Although the battle of the black-backed ant and the black blood locust is slowly coming to an end, no one knows what danger we will face next.
Since we are now in the door of death in life and death, the danger inside is by no means just the slightest point in front of us, there must be more dangerous and terrifying things waiting for us.
As for the tomb robbers who have entered the tomb and cut closer and closer to us, they seem to be less important, maybe they have been shot by the tomb security organs before they even met us.
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. As the battle continued, the blackback ants and blood locusts in the back no longer devoured each other's corpses, but discarded them in the graveyard after biting them to death.
At this moment, a layer of corpses has been slowly paved in the tomb, and the red and black look particularly eye-catching, and it also makes people feel creepy.
In addition to the corpses in the tomb, there are also many living black-backed ants and blood locusts on the ground and in mid-air, but the number is not as good as before.
Both the blood locusts and the black-backed ants are only one-tenth of their original number, and the number is decreasing as the battle continues.
"Xiao Yan, it seems that the battle between the blood locusts and the blackback ants is almost over, and we should also think about the next things in advance." I said to Li Huiyan.
"It's hard to say what happened next, but the main thing is to see which side of the blood locust or the blackback ant will stand last. If the blood locusts win, it's the best for us to be unconscious, but if the blackback ants win, we're really not good at dealing with them. Li Huiyan said.
"As things stand, whichever side wins, it's almost like we're all going to end up. We've got the ghost-faced spider to help, so it shouldn't be a problem to clean up the mess. I said.
"Well, that's what I thought, too." Li Huiyan nodded and said. I have to say that the sudden appearance of the black-backed ant is simply an unexpected joy.
If it weren't for these black-backed ants, even if we had the cobwebs of the ghost-faced spiders and the jade unicorn that could restrain the blood locusts, I am afraid that we would have to wait in the tomb for a few or even more than ten hours, until those blood locusts died of natural old age before they could pass through this tomb road.
In the past, this was nothing, but the tomb robbers mentioned by the fourth man had already entered the ancient tomb, and it was impossible for us to waste such a long time.
Otherwise, if we are caught up by the tomb robbers, we will face even greater danger.
"Xiao Yan, what is it on both sides of the cemetery, I have been staring at it for a long time just now, and I really don't see anything famous." I asked Li Huiyan.
"I don't know, but from the outside, it looks like something I've heard of before." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Cold Iron." Li Huiyan said.
