Although he didn't get a closer look at the ghost-striped red ants, the expedition was worth it, at least for Surdak to figure out where the source of the beast tide was.

After walking sideways along the ridge for a while, at the foot of the ridge I finally saw a red figure speeding through the woodland, with a set of crimson mouthparts on its head, a pair of large pincers a foot long, and some small sharp teeth in the middle of the pincers, which were constantly intertwined, and a pair of black compound eyes on the reddish-brown skull, and three pairs of slender red feet protruding from its chest, dragging a fusiform abdomen.

It was under a red pine tree, its entire body was nearly three meters long, its huge head sniffed the scent of the forest everywhere, and its mouthparts kept opening and closing, as if it was looking for this prey, which looked particularly terrifying.

"They have a keen sense of smell and can smell distant scents, we can't stay here for long......"

Aung San walked up to Surdak and whispered.

"Let's go!"

Surdak waved his hand.

The group turned around and returned the way they came.

Coming to the southern slope of the mountain, the tense nerves of the two indigenous warriors relaxed a little, and they were no longer so urgent when they walked.

As he passed through a wooded area, the indigenous warrior named Leto suddenly stopped, pointed to the thick-looking woods, and muttered a few words to Aung San.

Aung San's face was a little unnatural, and he turned to Surdak and said, "Leto said that a few days ago, an adventurous group was culled by ghostly red ants in the woodland over there. They recklessly broke into the territory of the ghostly red ants, and were chased here by a group of soldier ants to kill them. ”

Surdak walked towards the dense forest, and there were indeed traces of battle in the forest, except for the trees in this section, there were only some bones and broken leather armor scattered on the ground, fragments of canvas tents, a blood-stained boot, and along the way, he saw a piece of high-grade magic pattern structure that was shattered and disfigured, and the traces of battle in the woodland extended to the top of the mountain.

It seems that the adventuring group has gone through a very brutal battle here, but unfortunately this group of people did not escape the pursuit of the ghost-patterned red ants in the end.

After searching in the woods for a long time, he could not find the emblem of this adventure group, so Surdak had to give up searching.

Walking out of the dense forest between the mountains, Surdak asked Aung San again:

"Do these ghost-striped red ants have any natural predators?"

Aung San didn't even think about it, but replied:

"Yes!"

Aung San pointed to the north and said: "They are said to be a flock of big golden birds in the farther north, and they sometimes come here to hunt, and those ghost-striped red ants are no match for them at all, but I don't usually dare to go so deep, and I have only seen them a few times...... Their wingspan is probably seven or eight meters, and they are covered in those golden feathers, and the sound of their chirping can almost tear through the clouds......"

"The number of those birds is very small, and even if you can eat a few ghost-striped red ants, it won't affect their population."

Aung San added.

……

Surdak and his party walked back along the way they came, and after climbing two mountains in succession, the indigenous warriors and Aung San got together and muttered for a while.

Aung San then walked over to Surdak, and this time the two native warriors followed, and the team stopped.

Surdak looked at Aung San suspiciously.

Aung San said to Surdak: "Leto said that they had found a hive of giant yellow-tailed bees in the vicinity, that they could not defeat the giant bees, and that if we were willing to help, the final harvest of honey and beeswax would be divided equally." ”

Surdak didn't know what kind of strength the yellow-tailed giant bee had, so he asked Aung San:

"What about the strength of those yellow-tailed giant bees?"

Aung San scratched his head before he said: "I heard that the yellow-tailed giant bee is a group of first-class magical beasts, the poisonous needle on the tail pierces the body, and the toxin is enough to poison a strong warrior to death, a hive has at least hundreds of giant bees, and each hive will have a queen, that queen bee should belong to the category of second-level demonic beasts, but I usually see such magical beasts, they take the initiative to avoid it, so I don't know the true strength of the yellow-tailed giant bee." ”

"Tell me, what are we going to do?" Surdak asked Aung San.

Aung San pointed to the two indigenous warriors and said, "They will lure out the yellow-tailed giant bees, and then ask your sharpshooter to shoot them one by one, the weakness of those yellow-tailed giant bees is in the abdomen, and the steel arrows can shoot through their bodies, as long as they are nailed to the tree, they will not be able to break free." ”

Then Aung San added: "The only trouble is that the queen bee is not only flying fast, but also shooting stingers outward, but I think you and your men should be able to defeat it." ”

Surdak saw that Gulitum looked eager to try, and thought for a moment before saying:

"I think we can try!"

……

Two hours later.

Just under a towering tree, the corpses of countless yellow-tailed giant bees were scattered everywhere, and these yellow-tailed giant bees were almost all shot through the head by an arrow, although they still wanted to flutter their wings and fly, but they could only smash around like headless flies.

Two indigenous warriors with spears in their hands mended the last sting on the yellow-tailed giant wasps, which were no longer able to fly.

A clear magic pattern appeared on Samira's right arm, and the quiver on her waist had already been completely shot out, and the blood vessels in her entire arm were all bulging, and her arm had already taken on a red color, obviously reaching the limit of her body.

Ever since she was colonized into the Great Ape King's power-type life pattern, Samira's physical strength had never been consumed to such an extreme.

The half-elf archers were sweating from the tip of their noses and foreheads, and their cheeks were flushed.

Surdak slashed the head of the yellow-tailed queen bee with the sword of the blood-red crescent, and the transparent wings behind the queen bee slowly stopped vibrating, and her entire body curled up and still twitched on the ground.

Dead yellow-tailed giant wasps were scattered all around, and these yellow-tailed giant wasps were actually bigger than an adult's fist.

Ogre Gulitham crouched to the side, asking Aung San to help pull out a few stingers from his shoulder.

The poison of the yellow-tailed giant bee was nothing to the strong ogre, and it could only make his shoulders swell up a large bag, but when Aung San helped pull out the queen's stingers, the ogre Gullitham couldn't wait to pick the yellow-tailed giant bees from the ground and string them on a steel arrow.

He also said to Surdak, "If this thing is roasted and eaten, it probably won't taste good, but I think it can be fried in oil......

Surdak split the head of the yellow-tailed queen bee, and there was indeed a magic core inside, this yellow-tailed queen bee almost belonged to the late first-level demonic beast, and it was lucky to be able to find such a magic one.

However, those yellow-tailed giant bees are not first-class demonic beasts, they can only be regarded as mutated killer bees, and the magic patterns on their bodies are not fully developed, except for a poisonous needle with their own poison, at most their bodies are huge, and their vitality is very strong and aggressive.

Two indigenous warriors climbed the towering tree, tied the hive with ropes, and hoisted it to the ground little by little.

Peel back the beeswax to reveal a hexagonal honeycomb with egg-sized wriggling chrysalis.

The two native warriors happily split the hive in two, carefully wrapped their share in banana leaves, and then made a huge package and carried it on their backs, just smearing the honey on their fingers and sipping it into their stomachs.

Surdak's magic fanny pack contained only a magic chest and a normal chest, which contained an entire crate of honey mixed with bee chrysalis and beeswax.
