Chapter 123: The Golden Worm
The three giant worms have surrounded the giant ants, looking at the fierce battle that is about to break out in front of him, the white wolf has to sigh that his risk is worth it, watching two pairs of enemies stronger than himself fight each other, and after they are almost done, they can go over to the fisherman to profit, this practice is also something that the protagonist in the novel can often do, and now the white wolf is feeling that he finally has the opportunity to experience the pleasure of fishing for a while.
The worms and the giant ants are facing each other, but this confrontation is not static, but dynamic, what the giant worms are doing so far is very simple, is to patrol around the giant ant colony, trying to disrupt the formation of the giant ants, the white wolf found that the giant worms do not have eyes, they probably judge the direction of the target by feeling the vibrations nearby.
Now the white wolf didn't dare to move casually, he was in the passage before he doubted, the reason why the giant worm would let him go was not that he was not interested, but that he didn't move at the time, so he didn't find his existence, otherwise these guys don't have eyes, how can they tell the difference between him and the giant ants?
The white wolf felt that his movement just now might have been sensed by the giant worms, but at the moment they were more interested in the giant ants in front of them, so they didn't bother him.
"If you can... I want to catch that queen. The white wolf thought to himself, if he could catch the fat queen, he would tame it through runes or the illusion of the black wolf in the future, and he would probably be able to have an army of giant ants in the future, which would undoubtedly be a great leap in strength for his power.
With the vision of increasing the strength of the territory, the white wolf forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, hid behind a rock, lurked, and secretly observed the battlefield ahead.
The worms' tactics didn't work, no matter how they patrolled, the giant ants' formation didn't move at all, as if they didn't see them at all, the giant ants didn't move, the worms couldn't find a flaw, and it became a trouble to break the game.
However, the worms had no intention of giving up, perhaps because they hadn't eaten for a long time, and it seemed that they were determined to get the giant ants, so they changed their tactics.
A worm launched a surprise attack on the giant ant array, and now the giant ants finally could not continue to turn a blind eye, they responded quickly and effectively to the attack of the worm, and a dozen giant ants broke away from the formation behind the arch guard insects and launched a fierce attack on the worm that rushed to the front of the array.
The worm is not a vegetarian either, it bites two giant ants in its mouth, and while chewing, it swings its huge body and sweeps towards the giant ants.
Except for one slow-reacting giant ant that was swept away and sent into the distance, the rest of the giant ants deftly avoided the sweep, scrambling to climb onto the worm's body, cutting the worm's fat white body with their sharp teeth.
The giant ant's attack worked, the worm's physical defense was not that high, and it didn't take long for its outer skin to be filled with cut marks of various shades and sizes, and white slurry gushed out of it.
The worm was extremely painful by the bite of the giant ant, and shook violently, trying to shake off the giant ant on its body, but it didn't work, the giant ant's slender arthropod-like legs seemed to stick to the worm's body, no matter how it trembled, the giant ants still did not move, and continued to cut the skin of the worm.
Just when the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards the giant ants, the other two worms moved, and in order to defend against the attack of the worm just now, a gap appeared in the formation of the giant ants, and the two worms attacked like this gap.
The worms' target seemed to be the queen in the center of the array, and the queen sensed danger, her four shrunken short legs swaying and looking extremely nervous.
However, no matter how much the queen ant swung her legs, her legs were too weak to support her entire body, and if she wanted to move, the queen ant had to rely on others to lift it.
The four giant ants who were responsible for carrying the queen ant took great effort to carry the queen on their shoulders and moved away from the worms, while the other giant ants also received the queen's order and divided into two teams to pounce on the two worms.
The queen ant knew in her heart that this was a battle to determine its life and death, and also to determine whether its population could reproduce, if she didn't defeat these worms at this moment, then there would be no hope of survival, their movement speed could not compare to these big insects that could walk through the dirt, and it was absolutely useless to escape, so they began to fight hard.
It was carried away from the warband by four of its own soldiers, and then ordered its four own soldiers to join the warband, asking them to pounce on the same worm, and the queen ant relied on the intuition of a beast to realize the truth of concentrating forces to destroy the enemy's living force, if you can concentrate on destroying a worm, then the pressure on the giant ants can be greatly reduced.
The three worms are in great trouble, they are full of giant ants, these giant ants are gnawing at the body of the worms like crazy, they are attacking at any cost, recklessly, for these giant ants, the queen is their everything, they are willing to pay any price to defend their queen.
The worms tumbled up, some of the giant ants were thrown off, some of the giant ants crawled along the body of the worm, and some of the giant ants were directly pressed under the body of the worm, turning into a mass of green meat sauce.
The fierce battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the worm that was besieged by the four pro-soldiers died first, and the remaining two worms were exhausted, and their bodies were constantly gushing out of white pulp, and it seemed that they couldn't hold on for long.
After a fierce battle, only 10 of the more than 50 giant ants survived, and the four personal soldiers of the queen ant were all killed, and the remaining giant ants were still wreaking havoc on the worms.
But at least the victory is theirs, and the queen ant breathes a sigh of relief, as long as it can successfully survive this crisis, it will be able to reproduce a group again with the few young giant ants in its belly, and these corpses in front of them are their best nourishment.
Just as the worm gave up its struggle and was ready to meet its own death, an accident happened, and the clod of soil above the queen's head began to loosen constantly, as if something was about to come out of it, this was not the ghost of the white wolf, he was still hiding behind the rocks to watch the show.
The clods of dirt and stones loosened and smashed into the queen's body in pieces, and it hissed in pain, but this was only the beginning, a golden worm emerged from the loose clods, its body was greasy and slime-stricken, and its body slowly slipped out of the pit and hung in the air.
The queen ant smelled the worm and was even more frightened, screaming that she wanted to run away, but this time there were no soldiers to carry it away.
The body of the golden worm finally slid down, it opened its mouth wide, and it happened to be the queen ant under its mouth, as the body of the golden worm touched the ground, the queen ant was also swallowed by it, its huge mouth was closed, the fat queen ant was directly popped, white slurry splashed everywhere, and a few insect pupae kept writhing in this slurry, that should be the juvenile body of the giant ant.
Such a scene was seen by the white wolf, and he felt sick to his stomach when he saw it, the situation in front of him was really disgusting, and his sensitive nose asked a strong fishy smell, which made him want to vomit, but in order not to expose his existence, he still forcibly resisted the desire to vomit.
"Good thing I don't need to eat. The white wolf complained secretly, he was extremely grateful to his sister for teaching him how to use the magic core to obtain energy, otherwise he estimated that he would not be able to eat for three days and three nights, and the scene of these insects devouring each other was too unforgettable.
The sudden death of the queen ant caused a huge blow to the remaining giant ants, in their thinking, the safety of the queen ant always came first, and their life and death came second, and now the pheromones released by the queen ant suddenly disappeared, making them confused and extremely frightened at the same time, all the giant ants stopped attacking the worms and sensed their queen.
After 5 seconds, the giant ants finally realized that their queen was dead, and their own life, which was originally in the second place in their thinking, was instantly lifted to the first place, and they knew that there was a terrible thing that was devouring their queen, so they crawled down from the two dying worms and scattered.
The golden worm didn't know how long it had been hiding in the dirt on the top floor, but the white wolf didn't feel the vibration of its walk through the dirt, and its patience had paid off, and now the whole colony was on its plate.
The white wolf planned to slip away, wanting to deal with such a big golden worm, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, although he couldn't get anything this time, but he also got a lot of valuable information, and he will use this information to plan the defense strategy of the place of residence in the future, preventing giant ants and preventing these worms.
Just as the white wolf was about to enter the return ant path, an earth element fluctuation suddenly came from the golden worm and rushed to the passage in front of the white wolf, and then under the influence of this earth element fluctuation, the ant path in front of the white wolf violently shook and collapsed.
"Warcraft.... "The white wolf could clearly sense that it was the earth elemental magic released by the golden worm, and this greedy guy obviously had no intention of letting him go.
