Nest?!

Ling Xiu's faces were all colorless, and his eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly, that reddish-brown, hundred-meter-high mountain turned out to be an ant nest, which was simply unimaginable.

Liu Yongfu sighed lightly and said, "Johnny, that's just the part that is exposed on the surface, and the underground within a radius of two kilometers is actually full of holes and has become part of the ant nest. ”

Hearing his narration, and then recalling the many caves with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters that he had seen when he entered Helen City before, Ling Xiu only felt goosebumps all over his body, maybe at this moment, there were terrifying mutant ants moving in the ground under their feet.

"Damn, there's a worker ant out foraging for food who spotted us!" One suddenly looked at somewhere and screamed in horror.

Ling Xiu turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, on the side of the road, an ant with a body size similar to a half-month-old puppy was looking up at them, and the two tentacles on its head were gently swaying like ears of wheat in the breeze.

The head and tail are black, and the rest of the body is transparent red.

"I'm rubbing, it's really a mutated ant, so big." Zhang Yifei said with a shocked face.

As the crowd looked over, it turned around and crawled toward the hedge at the edge of the street, as fast as a rat crossing the street.

Liu Yongfu was shocked: "Can't let it run!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he and his four companions all waved their clubs and chased after the ant.

The ant was frightened and ran faster, but the five people couldn't catch up quickly, and seeing that it was about to run into the hedge, the faces of the five people turned pale with a "swish", and it was difficult to see the extreme.

"Huh~"

At this moment, a sharp arrow pierced the sky, like a long rainbow flying out, and a "poof" sound directly pierced the ant's head.

The ant let out a high-pitched and terrible wail, so loud that it was almost like a terrible ghost roaring, it was hard to imagine how that small body could make such a huge and terrifying sound, but it was dead, lying motionless on the ground, and a transparent viscous liquid flowed from the wound on its head that had been pierced by sharp arrows.

Liu Yongfu and the five of them turned their heads and glanced at Tang Xiaomo, who had put down the bow and crossbow and showed a playful smile to them, and then rushed up and smashed the ant's corpse with a stick, making sure that it was completely dead before stopping.

"Brother Liu, you guys are too cruel!"

Looking at the tattered, transparent corpse of ants dripping all over the ground, Zhang Yifei felt a trace of sympathy for the first time.

"We're not cruel, we don't want to die here!" Leng Jinpeng said.

Liu Yongfu explained: "These mutated ants are extremely tenacious, and some have learned to play dead, and when the danger has passed, they will run away. He glanced down at the ant carcass on the ground, and then looked at Tang Xiaomo, "Thanks to Miss Tang just now, it would be troublesome to let this worker ant run into the hedge." ”

"What's the trouble, can't you just drive it out and kill it?" Zhang Yifei wondered.

Liu Yongfu smiled helplessly: "As long as it runs into the hedge, we won't be able to kill it, on the contrary, we will have a catastrophe." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the purple-leaved barberry that formed the hedge of the city open with a stick, and saw an ant hole in the soil inside.

Liu Yongfu went on to explain: "If we let it run in, it will quickly pass the information to all the ants, and it won't be long before we are attacked by countless mutant ants. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei gasped, and then praised Tang Xiaomo again and again for his great achievements.

Ling Xiu couldn't help but remember that when he was a child, he used a fly corpse to attract the attention of an ant, and then pressed the fly's corpse with a thin stick so that the ant could not move, and after several failed attempts, the ant would run back to the nest, and then bring a large group of ants out to carry food.

It was a lot of fun to see them carrying the carcasses of flies and carrying them for a long distance to reach their nests.

But now, when the ants' food is converted from the corpses of flies to their humans, there is an indescribable sense of horror.

……

Since it was quite certain that Helen City was very unsafe, the group left Helen City without stopping.

Just as he was about to pass through the city center, a miserable cry came from the alley ahead, it was definitely a human voice, with deep fear in the sorrow, and people couldn't help but hold their breath.

Cautiously poked his head out and looked into the alley, and suddenly saw a terrifying scene.

Whether it is on the wall or on the ground, it is full of surging mutant ants, densely packed, without any gaps at all. On the ground, there was a bloody male survivor, and four large-headed ants the size of an adult earth dog bit his hands and feet, immobilizing him entirely on the ground.

In front of the survivors is an elephant-like monster!

"Yes...... It's the queen ant! Liu Yongfu's face turned pale and said in a low voice.

Queen?!

Ling Xiu showed a look of horror, how could the queen ant get out of the nest? Could it be that the mutated ants have even changed their habits?

Looking at the queen carefully, the tail was swollen, like a yellowed balloon filled with thick phlegm sneaking into the front end of a mutant ant, the head and torso combined were less than one-fiftieth of the tail.

At this moment, a sharp tube shaped like a sickle and dripping with viscous liquid suddenly poked out of the queen's mouth, and in the terrified eyes of the male survivor, the sharp end stabbed into the heavenly spirit cover.

The male survivor's eyes rolled up, his mouth opened wide, his face turned pale at a rate visible to the naked eye, and his head was shrinking rapidly and becoming shriveled.

It's smoking...... Cerebral pulp and cerebral marrow!

Ling Xiu and his party only felt that their scalps were numb, and a cold aura was instilled from the Heavenly Spirit Cover to the soles of their feet, and their entire bodies were cold.

Feeling a slight pain in his arm, Ling Xiu looked down, but it was Tang Xiaomo's face pale, nervously grabbed him, and leaned towards him with his body.

Chu Liyue was about to kill the queen ant with a sniper rifle.

Liu Yongfu hurriedly stopped her: "Don't be impulsive, killing this queen ant will soon appear another queen, it's useless." On the contrary, once the shots are fired, we will be exposed, and we will not be able to walk if we want to. ”

Chu Liyue cast an inquiring look at Ling Xiu, and only after receiving Ling Xiu's nod did she give up killing the queen.

The group quietly retreated, then bypassed the alley with mutated ants and continued to retreat north.

I had just witnessed the picture of the queen ant sucking human brains, and everyone was panicked, and goosebumps on their bodies rose layer after layer.
