Chapter 486: Red Tide
The camp is stationed at the foot of the hill. The perimeter is guarded by dogs. The Great Flower Eagle Owl is on guard in mid-air. It can be said that as long as there is wind and grass around you, you will immediately notice it.
When the dense barking of dogs came, a sharp chirp sounded in the sky at the same time. The eagle owl hovered in the air of the camp, sounding the alarm from time to time.
Not only was Li Ba alarmed, but everyone in the camp was alerted. When Li Ba walked out of the tent, Zhao Hongyun had already taken people to check.
Call! Call!
A flash of fire. Figures flew into the sky. Zhao Hongyun took the lead, the talisman was added, and the fire wings fanned, hanging in the air. His gaze looked away, and his face couldn't help but change dramatically.
In the dark night, on the desolate gravel sand in the distance, red ants the size of fists appeared. The number is incalculable, forming a tide of ants like a sea of red, rapidly approaching the camp.
Not good!
Zhao Hongyun's pupils shrank. didn't think much about it, turned over and fell, came to Li Ba, and told what he saw.
Red tide!
Li Ba frowned. He had heard Fu Changfeng mention that in the northern region, in addition to zombies, there were three major evils, namely wolf plague, sand thieves, and red tide. The first two aside, this red tide refers to a unique mutant poisonous insect red phosphorus ant in the desert Gobi.
The strength of this mutant ant ant is not strong, but it likes to live in groups and is numerous. Once they go out to hunt, they come out of the nest, and the number reaches tens of millions, or even more. The resulting army of ants looks like a red tide from afar, boundless and capable of engulfing everything.
The red tide passes, and there is not a single grass left!
This is a proverb that circulates in the north. It refers to the ant tide formed by the red phosphorus ant. These poisonous ants move very fast, once encountered. Ordinary people have no chance of surviving, not even evolutionaries. If you are surrounded by ant tides, you will also be dead and alive.
But. For Li Ba, these mutant ants are not much of a scary thing. He has seen a lot of mutant poisons, and the big scene of the battle of ten thousand poisons in the Miao District is definitely much more powerful than this so-called 'red tide'!
It's just that if I want to rest tonight, I'm afraid it won't work!
He instructed Zhao Hongyun to gather his troops, put away the camp tents, and prepare to break through. Meantime. With a wave of his left hand, ten Spirit Charm talismans were sacrificed, and the spiritual light flickered, forming a black hole-like vortex in mid-air.
After a burst of hissing sounds. A giant centipede sprang out, with six wings on its back, hovering out of thin air. In the moonlight, they all looked hideous and terrifying.
"Little Liuzi, go and block those annoying things!"
Li Ba rushed at one of the giant centipedes. Give orders directly. This big guy is the king egg bloodline of the six-winged black xuan centipede of the Black Miao Guardian God, after all these years of careful cultivation, his evolutionary strength has already reached the eighth level, which is not inferior to his mother. The six-winged black black dragon of the Black Miao Guardian God.
In addition, the nine-headed giant centipede is also a descendant of the god of the village, and its strength is not as good as the black Xuan centipede, the poison king named Xiao Liuzi by Li Ba. But there is also a seventh-level evolution strength.
With the poison system!
It is believed that these poisonous things from the Miao area can stop the approach of the red tide.
Received the master's order. The little six monsters screamed a few times, and then they did. The six wings vibrated and hummed, and swooped out of the air with their men.
At this moment, the red tide is only a little more than a thousand meters away from the camp. Xiao Hei roared and barked with the mutant dogs, but did not rush over. It was also the first time they had seen so many mutant ants, and they were inevitably a little alarmed.
However, the black black centipede that swooped down from mid-air, and saw the red phosphorus ants forming a red tide, not only was not afraid, but on the contrary, they all hissed happily.
Whew......
Streams of black ice mist sprayed into the air and swept away. Everywhere they passed, patches of red phosphorus ants were frozen into ice mounds. Then, the ten black centipedes swooped down, their hideous mouthparts split, and they sucked suddenly. Those red phosphorus ants that were frozen into ice mounds were all devoured and eaten by these big guys.
The six-winged black centipede, among the five Miao Protector Gods, has the most ferocious personality and loves other mutated poisons. Over the years, they have been raised by Li Ba, and the elixir has been eaten every day. However, the favorite food, other mutated poisons, is rarely tasted.
Today, if you have this opportunity, of course, you have to eat a lot of food and feast on it.
Ten six-winged black centipedes, led by Xiao Liuzi, began to devour red phosphorus ants frantically. The aura of the poison king emanating from their bodies caused chaos among the ants of the colony. Out of instinctive reaction, many red phosphorus ants began to retreat.
"Boss, these big centipedes you raise are really amazing!"
This scene fell in the eyes of Yang Jian and others, and they all applauded. Li Ba smiled and said nothing. Looking back, the camp tents had been put away and everyone was ready to go.
In the current situation, it seems that it is no longer necessary. With ten six-winged black centipedes, it seems to be able to repel the red tide. However, Li Ba doesn't think so, although the descendants of the poison kings such as Xiao Liuzi are powerful, the scale of the formation of the red tide is too large, the number is hundreds of millions, and there are definitely queens inside.
The common red phosphorus ant is only a second-class mutant poison. However, the queen ant has an eighth-level evolution strength, and her spiritual intelligence is extremely high. If it reacted and commanded it with all its might, it would be almost impossible to suppress the red tide formed by hundreds of millions of poisonous ants with ten six-winged black centipedes.
Really!
Not long after, with a few strange hiss coming from inside the red tide, all the red phosphorus ants that retreated in panic began to rush towards them as if they were crazy, and they were not afraid of death, locking onto the six-winged black black dragon to launch a violent attack.
Ten heads and six-winged black centipedes, the ability field spreads out, forming a defensive line hundreds of meters long. All the red phosphorus ants that set foot in the ability field were frozen and poisoned in an instant. Subsequently, it was devoured.
However, the good times were short-lived. A swarm of red phosphorus ants with purple-red carapaces appeared, numbering in the thousands, bouncing like flying and surging towards them.
These purple red phosphorus ants are obviously much stronger. Under the shroud of the Black Xuan Centipede Poison Ice Ability Field, it was only a slower movement speed, and the others were not affected, spitting flame venom from their mouths, attacking from all directions.
Suddenly!
The pressure on the ten-headed black centipede increased greatly. Although their armor was as strong as pure gold, it was not afraid of the fire venom, but the wings on their backs were damaged. In addition, after some purple red phosphorus ants approached, they used their sharp teeth to bite the slightly weaker part of the black centipede's abdomen, posing a big threat.
"Get ready. Let's get out! ”
Seeing this scene, Li Ba directly turned over and got on his mount. As he speculated. The red tide is very powerful, and it can't be resisted by ten black centipedes alone. The only way to get out is to rush out. Stay away from these annoying things.
Red tides are severe, but they are confined to the ground. Li Ba has too many means to rush out easily. The simplest and most direct thing is to control the flying talisman to easily get rid of the red tide.
But he didn't. Luckily, as soon as I came to the Gobi Desert, I ran into the red tide. Now, he wants to take the opportunity to exercise his ability to work together. An army of red phosphorus ants that form red tides. It is tantamount to the best training target.
"Tiangang is in front, and the earth is broken!"
Breaking through the command, Li Baji was handed over to Zhao Hongyun. Under his arrangement, the one hundred and eight iron cavalry guards were divided into two teams, Tiangang 36 cavalry to open the way, and Disha 72 cavalry to the back. Ten black centipedes and a group of small black dogs protect the wings.
The breakout formation is swinging out. After that, under Zhao Hongyun's order, a team of 100 people rode their mounts and rushed straight away against the boundless red tide.
"Fire Dragon Dance!"
Thirty-six horses of Tiangang who rushed to the front. When approaching the red tide forward for about twenty meters, the attack began. The arms of more than a dozen people began to glow with dazzling fire, and in an instant, huge fire dragons condensed out of thin air. Roaring and roaring, attacking with indescribable ferocity.
The fire dragon was furious, sweeping through. Countless red phosphorus ants were burned to ashes. The Red Tide Striker was cut straight through a thirty-meter-wide gap.
When the team rushes into the gap. Tiangang thirty-six cavalry, and more than a dozen people launched an offensive. I saw that they were in good shape. The man was on horseback, holding the saddle with one hand, and his right leg swept away in the air.
"Blade Wind Roll!"
A series of cyan hurricanes suddenly formed, more than 20 meters high, whistling and swirling, sweeping away. The ant colony surging around the gap, in the face of the violent hurricane, had no resistance at all, and was blown to pieces and flew around.
At the same time, the Seventy-Two Horsemen rode behind the team to expand the gap and stop the red phosphorus ant colony from approaching. On both wings, a black black dragon swallowed a poisonous ice mist. There is also a pack of dogs led by Xiao Hei, who also launched an ability attack, forcing the ant colony to be unable to advance an inch.
In this way, the whole team rushed into the red tide like a sharp cone, invincible and irresistible.
In the middle of the team, Li Ba and the others were extremely idle, and they didn't need to do anything at all. With the powerful combat power of the Iron Cavalry Guard, as well as the assistance of the beast pet, it was no longer difficult to rush forward and kill it.
"Brother Jian, use your mental power to collect some red phosphorus ants!"
"What!"
"Ant meat is delicious!"
Yang Jian, who was in a panic, began to collect the red phosphorus ants around him at Wu Qing's suggestion. According to Wu Qing, the meat of these mutant ants is a delicacy in the world. Whether it is Yang Jian or Huang Huang Lao Kuai, they are all out-and-out foodies.
So, respond now and get busy.
The area formed by the red tide is more than ten kilometers in circumference. However, for Li Ba and others, it took five or six minutes to rush out.
After they burst out of the red tide, a shrill hiss rang out. The red tide behind him began to turn around and surged in.
Although the red phosphorus ants are fast, they are far from catching up with the team led by Li Ba. However, the army of red phosphorus ants that formed the red tide was relentlessly chasing.
"With insect repellent incense!"
Li Ba glanced back and immediately ordered. They head north, crossing the Gobi Desert and entering the hinterland of Gan province. If the red tide is chasing after him, he will be led by himself and others. They were fine, but it was an absolute disaster for the survivors in that direction.
In order to put an end to hidden dangers, Li Ba ordered the seventy-two horsemen to use insect repellent incense. This incense is refined with a unique formula in the seedling area, which has the effect of driving away mutant poisons, and the effect of driving away mutant beasts and mutated birds is also excellent.
Half-foot-long bamboo pipes were thrown out and fell to the ground, rising white smoke and fragrant to the nose.
Strange to say, the approaching red tide began to cause chaos when it was a hundred meters away from the white smoke place. It was only stranded for a moment, accompanied by a few screams and screams from inside the red tide, and after that, the ant colony army actually abandoned Li Ba and the others, turned around, and retreated like a tide.
Seeing this scene, Li Ba smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth. Then, he beckoned his men to continue on his way.
was disturbed by the red tide, and I believe that it was not only him, but everyone had no intention of sleeping. In this case, it is better to travel overnight through this Gobi Desert.
According to the map given by Fu Changfeng, not far from the Gobi Desert, there is a city inhabited by human beings. At their current speed, they believe they will be able to reach this settlement city early tomorrow morning.
At that time, it's not too late to rest well!
PS: Thank you for your support, there will be more in the evening, it may be late. (To be continued.) )
