Chapter Twenty-Four: The War of the Giant Ants
That night, Zindha? Merlin arranged for Shawco and the others to rest in the apse of the Great Temple of Helen, where he and Elena slept on their feet.
The next day, when everyone gathered to leave for the giant ant nest, Elena's eyes were swollen from crying. However, she only hugged her teacher hard, and resolutely followed Xiao Ke and the others away, without even looking back again.
Several people came to the Mobius Giant Eagle outpost, and each spent 200 points to hire 4 giant eagles, and after using the terrain map of the giant ant's den, the giant eagles took off with 4 people in the air.
The giant ant's nest was much farther away than the jungle dwarf nest, and the giant eagle flew for more than two hours to reach its destination, and because the trees near the nest were gnawed away by the giant ants, the bare hill was very conspicuous, and Xiao Ke could see it clearly in the sky dozens of kilometers away.
Elena said, "Let's land far away from the nest and don't let the giant ants find out." ”
Xiao Ke laughed: "How good is it for us to land directly on the nest and kill one of them by surprise?" ”
Elena said angrily: "Please! No matter how big a giant ant is, it's still an ant! How many ants are in a litter? We rushed in so stupidly, do we still want to come out? Let's go down now, set a trap on the perimeter, and lure them over!" ”
A few people landed in the jungle and released the eagles, and Kane asked, "What kind of trap should we make?" ”
Elena smiled: "As an elf of Lin Hai, I know that we are going to come to the giant ant nest, will I not prepare anything?" ”
She took out two small bottles and said, "Here are special potions refined by the priests of the temple, one of which can quickly dry a large area of trees, and the other is a violent ignition agent, which only needs a little bit to trigger a large number of magic flames, such a bottle can ignite an area of tens of thousands of square meters." So what we have to do is dig a pit, cut wood, bring in giant ants, and then pour the ignition agent into the pit, and it's done! What do you think? Do you think that in addition to being naturally beautiful, this girl is also ice and snow smart? ”
Shokochi said: "Aren't you elves known as the guardians of the forest sea? How could such a thing that destroys forests be refined? ”
Elena hurriedly said, "We elves also hunt!" Of course, the prey that came in had to be cooked before it could be eaten, and in a humid environment like Lin Hai, if you wanted to make a fire normally, of course, you had to rely on alchemy items! ”
Xiao Ke frowned and said, "But even with these two things, in such a humid environment, it is difficult to make the trees explode in an instant, right?" If we raise the fire in advance, then the giant ants will no longer have brains, and they will not jump into the fire pit, right? The hellish environment of your plane is simply terrible, and it is foggy everywhere, and I feel like I'm going to have mushrooms growing on my body after a day here! ”
Elena pointed to the burial sky and giggled: "Don't forget, this is the famous wind wolf!" With him, what fog are you afraid of? ”
Xiao Ke glanced at Futian Dao suspiciously: "Can you do it?" I see that you still have some wind power in your skills now, can you still control the wind in normal times? ”
Fu Tian said angrily: "Nonsense, even if I become a mortal, I can't control the wind to hurt people, and the trivial matter of blowing away the fog is not a problem!" ”
Xiao Ke clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Then what are we waiting for?" Take action! Elena and Burial Sky are in charge of digging pits, blowing wind, and setting traps, and Kane is in charge of logging! ”
The three of them asked in unison, "Then what are you responsible for?" ”
"Me?" Xiao Ke laughed and said: "Of course, the head of this regiment is responsible for strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, hahaha!" ”
Elena cried out, "You are dreaming! As the commander of the regiment, of course, you should take the lead and resist the most important task! ”
Fu Tian continued: "That's right, the cannon fodder who attracts monsters, this important role, you are duty-bound!" ”
Kane also nodded: "Agreed!" ”
Xiao Ke glared and said, "Okay, the three of you are united!" However, seeing my team members so united, I am very relieved, Uncle Ben is gone! Hahaha" After saying that, he laughed and walked towards the giant ant nest!
Elena shouted, "Commander, be careful! At least three-quarters of the blame will be drawn, or you won't come back! After speaking, the three of them looked at each other, laughed, and went about their own work.
Around the giant ant nest, dozens of giant ants are scattered around, some carrying food, some guarding the burrow. Each of these giant ants was the size of a wild wolf, and several soldier ants at the entrance of the cave were as big as lions, and their thick mouthparts were densely covered with serrations, which looked extremely penetrating.
A worker ant was dragging the corpse of a creature that Schucko had never seen before, staggering towards the burrow. Just as it was about to enter the hole, a steel spear suddenly fell from the sky and nailed it to the ground. The worker ants let out a painful scream, and the dozens of giant ants around them immediately put down their work and looked in unison towards the steel spear.
However, at this moment, in the blind corner of their vision, a figure swooped out, like a cannonball out of the chamber, rushing towards the entrance of the cave with a sweeping momentum. By the time the giant ants found out and began to intercept him, he had already rushed out of a distance of more than a hundred meters, it was Xiao Ke!
The giant ants swarmed up, but Xiao Ke just buried his head and rushed, and all the giant ants that stood in his way were staggered by him, and Xiao Ke turned a blind eye to those who were not on his charging route.
Shoko ran until he was still five hundred meters from the entrance of the cave before stopping, took an object from the storage ring, pressed the button on it, and threw it out. The thing made a "tick-tick" sound in the air and was thrown into the giant ant's nest with great precision.
Hearing only a loud "boom", the bare part of the giant ant nest on the ground was swept away by a violent explosion, and several giant ants near the entrance of the cave were blown seven or eight meters high by the explosion, and some were even blown into several sections. It turned out that this was a high-explosive bomb, which Shoko had bought before entering the second trial, and had never had a chance to use it, and this is when it finally came in handy.
This alarmed the entire giant ant nest, and the giant ants were silent for a moment, and they all let out a "hissing" roar, Xiao Ke felt that there was a stinging sound everywhere underground, and one after another giant ants broke through the ground and pounced angrily on Xiao Ke.
Shoko laughed, turned around and ran. The crazy giant ants behind him gathered in swarms, densely surging towards Xiao Ke, and their number was full of thousands! Look at that posture, if you don't gnaw Xiao Ke clean, you won't give up!
Those giant ants are not only infinitely powerful and have sharp mouthparts, but some even use formic acid as a weapon and shoot at Xiao Ke from a long distance, and dozens of acid sprays at Xiao Ke at the same time. Xiao Ke was suddenly hit, only to feel the hot pain where he was sprayed with formic acid, Xiao Ke gritted his teeth, turned on the acceleration skill of the Rage Ring, and finally threw the ant colony away for a distance.
In the jungle, the three of them have already arranged the trap, and in a huge pit 200 meters long, 50 meters wide, and 10 meters deep, there are densely placed air-dried trees. Buried Heaven transforms into a giant wolf, and bursts of wind erupt from the giant jaw, blowing away the crater and the humid air around it. At this moment, Shawco sent a communication to several people through the team function: Arrive soon, get ready.
A few people looked at the direction of the nest, and the majestic roar of the giant ant colony had been heard, and from time to time trees slowly fell to the ground, and the trees blocking the path of the giant ants were almost pushed down by the angry ant colony. Only a few minutes later, Xiao Ke rushed out of the dense forest, he saw the three people who buried the sky, gave a thumbs up and showed a bright smile, and then stood next to the giant pit, concentrating, slowly condensing energy in his hands, and when the first giant ant pushed away the bushes of the jungle and appeared in everyone's field of vision, he raised his spear and fell, and the giant ant was strung on the ground by the energy spear with the sound of the explosion that broke through the air.
However, in the blink of an eye, countless giant ants crawled over its corpse and swarmed towards Shoko. Xiao Ke turned his head and jumped into the pit, and the ant colony following him did not hesitate, pouring into the pit like dumplings. Xiao Ke stepped over the width of 50 meters in a few steps, in order to let the giant ants fill the giant pit, he even resisted the attack of formic acid and waited for a while, seeing that the mouthparts of the giant ants in the front row were about to bite him, he jumped up violently, turned on the floating skill, stood out of thin air, and shouted: "It's now!" ”
With a flick of her hand, Elena threw a whole bottle of the igniter out, and the funeral sky manipulated the wind to blow the igniter into water droplets, which rained down on more than half of the pit. As soon as the igniter touched the air-dried giant tree, a green magical flame rose into the air, and with the help of the wind of the burial sky, it instantly covered the entire huge pit.
For a moment, the painful howl of the giant ant resounded through the jungle, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky. Some giant ants also tried to extinguish the fire with formic acid, but the magic flame made of alchemy was not afraid of this at all, and only added to the fire.
The fire burned for half an hour, and most of them were burned to charcoal, except for a few giant ants at the edge of the crater. The sporadic dozens of injured ants were not in the eyes of the King's Landing team at all, and they were all killed in the blink of an eye under the interplay of wrist knives, giant hammers, wolf fangs, and leopard claws.
After destroying all the giant ants, the soul mark suddenly sounded: "Your team has eliminated 79 giant ants and obtained 9 giant ant carapace fragments × (materials, collect 10 fragments to make equipment through the leather maker: giant ant chitin armor), and each team member will gain 323 soul points."
Thousands of giant ants were scorched, and the stench around the giant pit was stinking, and after several people killed the giant ants that had slipped through the net, they immediately left here and rushed to the giant ant nest.
On the way, Xiao Ke asked Fu Tiandao: "How can you prompt us to kill 79 big ants, and those who were burned by fire are not counted on our heads?" “
Fu Tian said: "Of course. The rules of the temple allow trialists to be clever in battle, but they are never in favor of it, so they will never be rewarded for cheating. ”
Xiao Ke sighed: "If we knew that we should have killed them directly, then we could make ten sets of armor with the giant ant materials we obtained." ”
Elena glared at him and said, "Surrounded by thousands of giant ants, we are lucky to be able to escape!" Still want to kill them? ”
As a few people were talking, they had come to the anthill, and when they saw the collapsed hole that had been blown up, the three of them were speechless, and they were silent for a while, and finally said: "I knew that there would be no good results for you to do things!" Now we'll have to dig the hole again.
Kane continued: "It's okay, only the hole has collapsed, and it won't take much time." ”
