The early morning sun shone through the leaves of the dense forest, and the area of the dense forest, which had been lifeless last night, came back to life.

The growth value required to advance to the next stage is 1000, and after the advancement, the host will officially set foot in the infancy stage and gain a certain ability to fly. Currently, the host already has 1 growth value. ”

Lin Ye stood under the rice rice that was already two heads tall for him, quietly looking at the pool at his feet, at this moment he was already full-fledged, and his eyes revealed a hawkish light.

The rice that had been tasseled was now almost ripe, and the silver-scaled fish in the pond had laid all their eggs on the roots of the trees. I remember that a few weeks ago, Lin Ye still had the illusion that he saw the roots of the trees writhing, and now these roots are really the same as Lin Ye saw before, the root hairs are writhing, as if they are about to grasp something.

Lin Ye dived to the bottom of the pool, his paws were not pure, and he was not suitable for swimming. After trying a few times, Lin Ye's movements became proficient, and each time he flicked his claws vigorously, he could also push forward a short distance. He began to hold his breath and slowly swam down. The surrounding silver-scaled fish scattered one after another, and the pitch-black bottom of the pool became very bright under Lin Ye's eyes. After Lin Ye dived twenty meters deep, he clearly saw the movement of the root hairs underground.

It was as if they had evolved themselves, and after sensing Lin Ye's approach, they began to twitch violently, and the fish eggs attached to the roots of the trees also fell off a lot. If the writhing continues again, the eggs laid by the silverfish will be damaged.

Lin Ye's movements were very slow in the water, he grabbed the pool wall with one paw, and the other paw swung down violently, the broken bubbles floated up one after another, and the roots of the tree that had writhed before were directly cut off, and he lay quietly at the bottom of the pool with the fish eggs that were still intact, no longer moving.

The natural scent is so amazing that it can make these roots come alive!

After dealing with the roots at the bottom of the pool, Lin Ye's heart breathed a sigh of relief, he held his breath, his flame feather coat burned under the water, and the boiling water vapor immediately drove Lin Ye to float upward, and soon surfaced. After advancing to D-rank, Lin Ye's Flame Feather Cloak will not expire.

On the ground, the battle with the marching ants continued, and the lizard guarding the territory intercepted several pathfinder worker ants again at a distance of three hundred meters, and this was the fourth battle of the lizard. Its eyes were bloodshot and it hadn't rested properly.

And Lin Ye is also sweeping the wandering worker ants around, using the ferocious flames to burn them into ashes to prevent them from approaching here.

The lizard kicked one worker ant with one foot, then pulled out one tail to whit the other worker ant away, and in the battle with the small creatures, the terror of the marching ant is undeniable. The lizard spat out the letter, its mouth slightly open, as if panting, the fierce battle made it dare not let its guard down, and the red armor on its back had dimmed a lot.

The number of worker ants coming from the rear is increasing, and I am afraid that in less than a day, these marching ants will exhaust the lizard's physical work, and then steadily advance.

Lin Ye knew that this was not the way to go, killing these worker ants was just delaying the march of the marching ant colony into the dense forest area, and if you wanted to repel these marching ants, you had to kill the queen. He knew this, but his mood fluctuated. It is almost impossible to get the life of a queen ant from a colony of 10,000 ants!

Thinking of the tragic death of the rock turtle, as well as the dense ant colony covering hundreds of meters, if you want to kill a bloody way from these worker ants, no, the more powerful soldier ants, and go straight to the queen ant in the center, Lin Ye must at least reach the juvenile stage and master the initial flight ability, otherwise before he is halfway through, he will be entangled in the body of these soldier ants, just like the rock turtle, and be directly devoured.

But one thing Lin Ye was confident in was that if he could face the queen directly, he would have a way to kill it!

Is there any way I can get close to the queen without dealing with these soldier ants?

No, it's not safe, and you have to prepare another plan. Lin Ye meditated hard, and he raised his wings slightly, making a painful thought.

At this moment, a hissing sound came from the lizard in the distance, and its tail was accidentally bitten by a worker ant, and the scales immediately fell off, and a sharp wound was cut. The worker ant immediately broke through the lizard's defense line and came to Lin Ye. It raised its antennae and looked up slightly at the rice overhead, as if attracting its interest.

It turned out that it was this rice that could produce a natural flavor that attracted them!

Lin Ye's heart was on fire, his things were absolutely not allowed to be touched by others! And to hurt his own partners, he was not allowed! Lin Ye was like a guardian beast protecting treasures at this moment, repelling the attacks of waves of enemies who coveted treasures.

Three hours have passed, and the attack of the worker ants has not stopped, but has intensified. More than ten worker ants had appeared in front of them at the same time, their size was half the size of Lin Ye, and they seemed to be tireless and unaware of pain, obeying the orders of the ant colony and approaching here.

Lizard, hold on!" Lin Ye said silently in his heart, he turned around abruptly and ran towards the Blood Moon Lake firmly. The lizard, on the other hand, took over Lin Ye's work, and the defense became much more difficult for a while.

Running all the way along the Blood Moon Lake, Lin Ye soon came to the previous gravel area, where the number of dead worker ants became five, and their bodies were densely covered with white dust, all of which were Beauveria bassiana. Lin Ye collected the dust and then rushed directly to the gathering place of the marching ants.

Climbing up the small slope of the forest, tens of thousands of marching ants under their feet were clustered, they seemed to be very restless, and they raised their tentacles one after another to wait for their queen to give orders. The vibration of Lin Ye's footsteps immediately attracted their attention, and two of the soldier ants pounced directly towards Lin Ye without hesitation.

Lin Ye said silently in his heart, he glared fiercely at the marching ants present, and suddenly an indescribable momentum swept through the range of hundreds of meters, freezing the air!

The coercion that was promoted to the D level had a significant effect, and a wave of coercion struck, and the ants present froze and did not dare to move.

But the good times didn't last long, after a while, the abdomen of the queen ant in the center was bloated, it writhed its tentacles, and the tentacles emitted a wave that could not be seen, and some ants gradually moved, like a machine that accepted orders, and was no longer afraid of Lin Ye's coercion, and the movements began to recover.

Like a domino effect, with the awakening of one ant, the other ants also restarted one by one.

"The marching ant queen, danger level C, breeding period, vigorous vitality. Possesses the command ability and is the command center of the marching ants, capable of dispelling and immunizing the negative mental states of the marching ants. When Lin Ye approached, the system directly gave the corresponding hint.

Since coercion doesn't work, let's try this!

The short ten seconds was enough time for Lin Ye to do something, he waved his wings vigorously, and the white dust that had been collected and hidden in the wings before was immediately blown by the air current, and rolled into the black and crushed ant colony!

The infection begins!

Lin Ye didn't see the effect of Beauveria bassiana infection, this kind of fungus did not take effect immediately, he immediately ran back to the dense forest area to assist the lizard to resist the scattered attacks of the marching ants, and it didn't take half an hour before and after.

The battle on their side had been going on for a long time, and on the other side, where Lin Ye could not see, the battle between the marching ants and the Beauveria bassiana had just begun.
