Chapter 158: Ice Scorpion and Flame Ants

Qu Nan thought about the viciousness of the ice scorpion in the record, and couldn't help but shudder, first blessed himself and the black cat with a vajra trick.

Qu Nan suddenly thought of another, more dangerous possibility, and he looked around vigilantly—although the ice scorpion was terrifying, what was even more terrifying was that it usually had its natural predator in the vicinity of its haunts: the flame ant.

Compared to the Ice Scorpion, the Flame Ant is a more terrifying existence.

The flame ant has a fiery red body and a body as large as a broad bean. Its appearance is very peculiar, the head occupies half of the body, the mouth occupies most of the head, and there are a pair of extremely sharp fiery red pliers on both sides of the mouthparts, which can cut gold and jade.

It has a poisonous needle on its tail that pierces the body of a human or animal and excretes venom, which is so poisonous that it can poison a large beast in a matter of seconds, and turn all the musculoskeletal tissues in the beast's body into juice, like a ripe honey. Peaches, with only one skin wrapped in the juice, can suck the delicious gravy as long as the flame ants insert their mouthparts under the skin.

Unlike the ice scorpion, which kills each other, the flame ant is a very cooperative group, and the ice scorpion is just a cold drink after a meal that they use to lower their temperature.

Qu Nan didn't know what these ice scorpions were afraid of so they didn't come up to attack him, but he knew that where the ice scorpions appeared, the flame ants also existed, if the flame ants wanted to deal with him, then he and the black cat were really not enough to suck a nest of flame ants, thinking that he and the black cat might be sucked to only two human skins and cat skins, Qu Nan was terrified for a while.

Anyway, the flame ants haven't appeared yet, so let's deal with these ice scorpions first.

Do you want to try dragon magic again?

The ice scorpions suddenly made a commotion, and the scorpions stopped killing each other, lined up neatly, raised their iron claws, and made a posture of wanting to charge.

Qu Nan knew that the main event was coming.

If you can't deal with this group of scorpions, then you will die here, and it is impossible to escape, because the rock crevices outside are too narrow, I am afraid that my upper body has not yet drilled out, and the lower half of my body will be gnawed to only half of the skeleton.

Once again, he strengthened the golden steel trick on himself and the black cat, and pinched a fire dragon technique in his hand, Qu Nan waited quietly with bated breath.

The scorpions did not attack, holding their claws, cocking their tail pins, and waiting quietly.

The two sides fell into a silent standoff.

"Plop!"

Qu Nan only felt a lightness on his shoulders, the black cat had jumped into the cold spring without saying a word, dived down, not even a single cat hair was exposed, only a few splashes on the shore, and the water splashed on the edge of the white jade pit, and quickly condensed into a white frost flower.

Qu Nan was startled, and he didn't know if the black cat fell into the cold spring because his legs were weak, or if he was afraid that the ice scorpion jumped in?

After waiting for a while, the water surface was calm and waveless, and not even a bubble came out, as if there was a bottomless hole under the water, which swallowed the black cat.

Qu Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief - it seems that this black guy jumped down by himself, and now he has used his housekeeping skill turtle breath technique, and pretended to be a dead cat at the bottom of the pool, otherwise, he would have to make a few splashes and bubble two.

It's okay that at least for a while, when dealing with scorpions, there is no cat with flammable fur in the way.

The sound of rustling came again, and it made my scalp tingle. The scorpion swarm stirred again, and many scorpions wriggled and moved, the larger ones retreated, and the smaller ones stepped forward, in an orderly manner, no longer the chaos and commotion just now, as if there was an extremely clever commander directing behind the scenes.

At this time, there were no more scorpions gushing out of the rock crevices, but the ground and the rock walls were already crawling with scorpions, and the silent scorpion army and the equally silent Qu Nan were facing each other, and the cave was so quiet that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

It's also weird.

So many scorpions didn't make a sound, if the sound of squirming before made people's scalp tingle, the current silence made Qu Nan creepy.

Although Qu Nan did not have a phobia of denseness, it was not a pleasant experience to be surrounded by so many poisonous insects in an almost confined space, not to mention that these poisonous insects were still waiting to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Qu Nan was holding a fire dragon technique in his hand, and he was thinking about whether to strike first, and deal with the scorpion that was blocking the open space in front of him and the exit.

On second thought, if the scorpions don't attack themselves, maybe there are other reasons, maybe they will retreat after a while, don't let their attacks cause the scorpion to retaliate, but steal chickens instead of rice.

Time passed minute by minute in Qu Nan's cranky thoughts.

The man and the scorpion confronted each other for a while, Qu Nan was a little impatient, feeling that there was no way to go on like this, he was thinking about whether to call the black cat out of the cold pool, and find a way to exit the cave, when he suddenly saw the scorpion swarm on his left side surging to both sides like a tide, revealing a particularly thick rock crack, from the rock crack, Shi Shiran crawled out of two fiery red ants unhurriedly.

Compared with the body of the ice scorpion, the figure of these two ants is extremely petite and exquisite, and it can even be said that it is petite and cute, their bodies are only half the size of Qu Nan's little fingers, the antennae are extremely long, almost seven or eight times the length of the body, the head is large, the body is small, and a pair of exaggerated large pincers on both sides of the mouthparts are cut and cut regularly.

Qu Nan's heart jumped: The flame ants are here!

It's just that the flame ants are social animals, why are there only two of them now? Are these two just playing the front station, or are they ......?

It seems that the flame ants have tamed this group of ice scorpions, and just now the ice scorpions only surrounded themselves but did not attack, just waiting for these two flame ants.

The long, fiery red tentacles were softly draped on both sides, and the two flame ants walked slowly towards Qu Nan with unhurried square steps, surrounded by scorpions and stars holding the moon.

A great sense of crisis struck, and Qu Nan almost subconsciously sent the fire dragon technique in his hand towards the two flame ants.

There was a loud bang, and where the fire dragon passed, the ice scorpion stirred, retreating to both sides like a tide, leaving a charred corpse in the middle.

Qu Nan's expectation was good, the ice scorpion was really afraid of fire.

The two flame ants were still the same, and continued to walk towards Qu Nan with unhurried steps, if there was any change, it was only after being baptized by the fire dragon that the color of their bodies became more bright and dazzling.

Qu Nan secretly screamed in his heart: Legend has it that flame ants often go down to the ground and use the fire moss next to the underground magma as their main food, since this is the case, then they must not be afraid of fire.

And since its recipe includes ice scorpions, then, I'm afraid that the freezing technique may not be effective against them.

Qu Nan's heart moved, he took out the crystal blade and pinched it in his hand, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Black robe!" Come out of the black robe, I'm leaving! ”

The level of the cold pool is still without waves.

I don't know if it was the turtle breath technique that blocked all senses, or the treacherous black cat felt safe in the dangerous water outside, in short, the diving black cat did not respond to Qu Nan's call.

Instinctively sensing the threat posed by the crystal blade, the two flame ants slowly stopped, their four extra-long tentacles entangled and rubbed together.

Qu Nan took this opportunity to hurriedly rush to the direction of the cave entrance with another fire dragon technique, to see how a passage was cleared, he quietly moved towards the entrance of the cave, ready to wait for the opportunity to escape.

The two flame ants had stopped communicating, raised their heads slightly, and their extra-long tentacles pointed straight at Qu Nan.

With a bang, all the ice scorpions scrambled towards Qu Nan, and as they advanced, they all subconsciously avoided the two flame ants, as if there was something on the flame ants that frightened them.

Qu Nan handed over the crystal blade in his left hand, beware of the sudden attack of the flame ants, pinched the trick with his right hand, and released another fire dragon technique.

It's just that the number of scorpions is too much, and after cleaning up the front, the scorpions in the back crawled over fearlessly, seeing that several particularly large scorpions had crawled to Qu Nan's feet.

Fortunately, the hem of the sportswear worn by Qu Nan was shrunken, but no scorpions got into the clothes, Rao was like this, and several black and shiny scorpions crawled along the trouser tube, which also scared Qu Nan out of a cold sweat.

In case this scorpion gives itself a poisonous needle through its clothes, the thin fabric of the sportswear may not be able to block the long tail needle.

At this time, he didn't care about saving his physical strength or spiritual power, Qu Nan's heart was horizontal, his hands were sealed, and the fire dragon technique was like not wanting money, and it kept being sprinkled out, accompanied by scorching flames, and the cave was filled with the smell of barbecue scorpions.

It's just that the number of scorpions is too much, although there are dead scorched scorpions everywhere, but the scorpions in the back step on the corpses in front and quickly crawl over.

In a short time, the ground near Qu Nan was already full of scorpion corpses several inches thick, and the scorpions on the rock wall were still attacking him one after another, desperately attacking him.

Sending out a fire dragon technique that is not much bigger than the fireball technique, Qu Nan smiled bitterly - he felt that his body had been emptied - there was not much spiritual power left, and when the spiritual power was exhausted, it was the day he died, but he was sucked into a human skin by the flame ants, and he didn't know how sad his parents and Xiaoxiao would be when they saw it.

Qu Nan couldn't help but think wildly, and used his last spiritual power to send the last fireball technique he could send out to the scorpion swarm on the ground.

The bowl-sized fireball swayed and fell on a scorpion, knocking the scorpion to the ground, and stubbornly got up, following the tide of layers of scorpions crawling towards him, Qu Nan smiled bitterly: I didn't expect that until I died, I hadn't taken off my virgin hat!

He suddenly felt a piercing pain in his calf, and then his whole leg became numb, and when he looked down, he finally saw that an ice scorpion had pierced the poisonous needle at the end of his tail through his clothes.
