The sun is warm,

The Invercargill Beast Forest was silent, save for the chirping of insects and the rustle of leaves.

A caterpillar crawls on the back of the leaves, devouring the fat cherry leaves, its body with red and black stripes, and some toxin-covered hairy stingers sticking out of its body, which is not visible to a single bird recently, which makes it very pleasant.

The warm sunlight shines through the leaves, and its entire body becomes warm.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves shook violently twice.

The caterpillar clung to the leaves and did not move behind them.

It wasn't too far from the Dark Worm Valley, and a violent tremor was heard, as if the earth was shaking, accompanied by a roar.

A moment later, a red tide gushed out of the entire Dark Worm Valley, and it was only up close that it was discovered that those rolling and spreading in all directions like a sea tide were actually countless huge ghost-patterned red ants, which rushed out of the nest and quickly rushed to every corner of Invercargill Forest.

Each ghost red ant is almost more than a meter long, and the hard shells on some red ants have not yet been completely finalized, they are all some new ones who have just broken their eggs, and after rushing out of the eggs, the first order they received is to leave the worm valley and follow the new ants to open up a new red ant kingdom.

The holes in the Worm Valley were crowded with ghost-patterned red ants gushing out wildly.

The ghost-striped red ants that rushed out of the worm valley ate almost everything, and they swallowed some fresh leaves into their stomachs, and because these ghost-striped red ants were in the thousands, even the tender thin branches were swallowed in their stomachs wherever the ghost-striped red ants passed.

The shrubs, weeds, mushrooms, and some insects hiding in the hollows of the trees in the glades are almost all food in the eyes of the ghostly red ants.

They have a good appetite and eat almost anything.

And trapped in the fraternity for several months, the last bit of nutrients in the freak is consumed, and their identification of food is very simple, as long as it is not the same kind and contains the breath of life, it is food in their eyes.

In the sky above the Dark Worm Valley, groups of newly-born ant queens flew out of the nest, like a black cloud overwhelming the realm, completely covering the sky above the Worm Valley.

They are more than three meters long and possess three pairs of ornate transparent wings, and as they flapp, the magic patterns on their wings sway outwards in countless to subtle whirlwinds.

These queens hovered and flew over the Worm Valley, seemingly quickly learning about the world.

A faint sweet and sour smell emanated from them, causing the ghostly red ants below the worm valley to fall into a state of frenzy.

A few sharp cries rang out from the northern edge of the sky.

A gray cloud poured in from the high cliffs and ridges due north.

It was a large group of golden-striped birds, each with their wings almost twenty meters wide, and they flew extremely fast, and during the flight, an electric snake occasionally sprang out of the sky, and then smashed into the mountains and forests below.

A flock of Peng birds swept over with lightning speed, rushing into the black cloud formed by the new ant queen above the worm valley.

The newborn queens felt the threat of the northern Peng bird in advance.

They didn't dare to fly north at all, and flapped their wings desperately in the east, west, and south directions, but their clumsy bodies had fat bellies, and they couldn't fly quickly at all.

The terrible cries of the birds resounded in the sky.

One by one, the birds chased the newborn queen, their golden claws buckled into the queen's body, pierced into the queen's skull with their sharp beaks, swallowed the newly condensed demon core into their stomachs, and then took the queen's corpse to spread their wings and fly, and quickly returned to the high cliff between the northern mountains.

An air battle quickly unfolded over the Monster Forest in Invercargill, and the Peng Birds took the initiative on the battlefield with absolute superiority.

The newborn ant queen will only spit out some acid, and even if she has three pairs of transparent wings, she is very clumsy when flying, and she is no match for the Peng birds at all, and the wind whirlwind emitted from the wings does not pose any threat to the Peng birds.

One by one, they were captured by the Peng birds and brought into the eagle's nest in the northern Gaoling Mountain Cliff.

Seeing the battle over the forest, the last group of demonic beasts left in the forest felt the oppression of death, and finally made up their minds to prepare to escape, and the woodland was in shambles.

Some small beasts that can hide in the ground hide in their burrows and shiver.

The ghostly red ants on the ground are like a drop of thick ink dripping in a basin of water, quickly spreading outward.

The opening of the killing feast in Invercargill Forest......

A large number of ghost-patterned red ants continued to pour out from the Dark Worm Valley, and they could feel that tens of thousands of queens in the sky were being slaughtered by Peng birds.

They climb to the top of mountains and tree canopies, trying to help the new queen against the flying birds, but they can't help at all.

The irascible ghost-patterned red ants were at the highest point of the mountain, piled up into a tower, countless ghost-patterned red ants were built into the appearance of mountain giants, and a group of huge soldier ants stood on the top of the giants, wanting to block the Peng birds in the air.

But those Peng birds didn't seem to be interested in ordinary ghost-patterned red ants at all, and just flew around chasing and killing the queen ants in the sky.

After the queen spreads, they quickly reduce their flight altitude, intending to merge with the ghostly red ants on the ground to fend off the birds in the sky.

It's just that at this time, there are not many new ant queens left who have successfully escaped from the predation of Peng Birds, and even if they fly at low altitudes, they can't escape the hunting of Peng Birds.

……

It's like being under the 'withering' curse of the Lich King.

An invisible line appeared in the forest, and where the ghostly red ants passed, the entire forest was rapidly withering, and the forest after the red ants quickly entered the winter, and the dry branches were full of gnawing marks.

Dead trees that had been gnawed off their leaves, white bones with sour liquid scattered across the territory, and even pupae and snake lizards hiding in the shallow soil were dug up and eaten.

And those ghost-striped red ants that have devoured a large number of plants and animals are also growing rapidly.

The carapace patterns on their bodies have deepened little by little, some sharp bone spurs have begun to evolve at the joints of their bodies, and the mouthparts and pincers on their heads have also grown some dark lines and become sharper.

The ghost-patterned red ants on the ground followed the new ant queen who had successfully escaped from the dark insect valley, forming an army of red ants, and the new ant queen flew close to the forest, vigilant all the way to the Peng birds in the sky.

And those ghostly red ants followed the new queens closely, and wherever they appeared, they quickly became a dead place.

The Ghost Red Ants quickly spread throughout the Invercargill Forest, and soon the vanguard of the Red Ants crossed the rolling hills to the foot of Thorn Mountain.

The new queens did not dare to fly high into the air and climb over the Thorny Mountains.

When the ghost-striped red ants climbed to the middle of the mountain, they finally encountered obstacles for the first time, and they encountered patches of stone thorns that were crowded together, and these stone thorns grew towards the sky, and the length of each one almost ranged from a few meters to tens of meters, but these stone thorns were densely packed together.

The ghost-patterned red ants tried to climb the stone thorns, and some of the stone thorns could not resist the weight of the ghost-patterned red ants, so the ghost-patterned red ants fell from the mountainside one after another. Fall.

Some of the ghost-patterned red ants were squeezed between the stone thorns, and they were stuck and couldn't move at all.

When the stone thorn forest in the middle of the mountain was full of the corpses of the ghost red ants, and the stone thorns were coated with the acid spit out by the ghost red ants, these ghost red ants finally gave up climbing over the thorny mountain, and a large number of ghost red ants circled along the thorny mountains, and some ghost red ants found the canyon between the thorny mountains and frantically poured into the ......

At this point, the beast tide in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest in the northern part of the White Forest Plane broke out in full force.

……

On the roof of a wooden house in the slums of Dodan Township, an indigenous boy stands at the top of the ridge, barefoot on a beam where some dog pee moss stands, holding on to the chimney with one hand and looking north.

Looking beyond the northern city wall, pointing farther north along the Dodan Gorge, he asked Aung San in the courtyard:

"Abba, what are those?"

In the courtyard, Aung San was chopping a piece of wood, and he was about to fill the firewood house when he heard his son call him, so he put down the axe in his hand.

He straightened up and looked into the distance, only to see a flock of large birds in the north.

Because they are too far away, those big birds are like mosquitoes and flies flying in the sky, but Aung San, who often collects magical herbs in Invercargill Forest, knows that those are not mosquitoes and flies, but Peng Bird, the overlord of Warcraft in the north of the Warcraft Forest.

Aung San's gaze became extremely solemn, he climbed up the wooden ladder to the roof, stood with his son, and said slowly:

"Beast tide, the real beast tide is coming!"

At this time, there was also a commotion in the streets, and it was clear that the alert people had discovered the change in the north.

Someone ran home quickly, someone knocked on the door from house to house, someone shouted in the street, 'Ring the bell, ring the bell quickly, they're coming!' ’

……

The city guards guarding the northern wall saw the beasts in the canyon begin to riot on a large scale.

The high-level demonic beasts began to attack the low-level demonic beasts around them, and the high-level demonic beasts hidden in the beast group revealed their whereabouts one after another, and they desperately urged the beasts to attack the north city wall, and the beasts attacked under the city wall, and they were covered by a large rain of arrows.

Sharp arrows shot down one by one, and a large number of low-level demonic beasts fell on the grass.

The group of demonic beasts was even more frightened, they found that the northern wall in front of them was simply an impassable moat, and no matter how much their king urged, they were unwilling to take another step forward.

Some of the demonic beasts had already given up their last struggle, knowing that there was death in front of them, and they had to crash into the north city wall without hesitation.

The city is littered with monster corpses.

Some of the beasts continued to assault the northern walls, their claws and their knack for climbing over rock walls and rushing up steep walls. But he was pierced into a hedgehog by the crossbow arrows of the archer's crossbow.

Some of the monsters gave up on storming the walls, and they prepared to find another way, so they rushed into the dense forests on both sides of the canyon and fled towards the mountains.

The city guards excitedly counted the corpses of the monsters beneath the city, and they discussed the harvest as they crouched behind the battlements and added arrows to the shooter's crossbow.

Andrew and Gullitham looked at the north with a stunned expression, the two big men stood on the city wall, saw the blurred figures flying in the sky, looked at each other, and Gullitham said: "That's the beast tide?" ”

Andrew nodded, and then said with a solemn face: "I didn't expect those ghost-patterned red ants to fly, so why build this city wall?" ”

"That's the queen ant, only their king can fly."

Surdak's voice came from behind.

Surdak added: "However, although the ghost-striped red ants can't fly, they are good at climbing walls, so hurry up and let the logistics team prepare more rolling stones." ”

Gulitham also stood beside Surdak and muttered:

"There's even an ant queen, and I don't know how it tastes......"

Andrew carried a butcher's battle axe and slashed to death a monster that climbed through a rain of arrows and rolling stones to the top of the city.

Surdak commanded him:

"Knock them down, and we'll go and prepare the cavalry, which may be the last crop of wheat......"

……

There have been traces of ghost-patterned red ants in the Dodan Canyon, and some ghost-patterned red ants have begun to hunt the demonic beasts in the canyon.

It's just that these demonic beasts are unwilling to be slaughtered by the ghost-patterned red ants, and the two sides fight in the canyon.

Even the first-level demonic beasts are much stronger than the ghost-patterned worker ants, and under their death-resistant counterattack, the ghost-patterned worker ants were blocked at the entrance of the canyon, but soon a large number of ghost-patterned worker ants gathered at the mouth of the valley, and they suppressed the demonic beasts at the entrance of the valley with a numerical advantage by relying on the acid rot liquid and giant pincers that were spit out from their mouths.

There are also some more advanced ghost pattern soldier ants in the ant colony, these ghost pattern soldiers are more than two meters long, and the patterns on their bodies are much more complex than those of ghost pattern worker ants, they have harder armor, and at the same time they are infinitely powerful.

On the battlefield, it is simply the nemesis of those first-level demonic beasts.

Soon, the swarm of demonic beasts guarding the valley could not stop the attack of the ant colony, and a large number of ant colonies ignored the Taniguchi demonic beasts at all, and took advantage of the battle of their companions to step on their bodies and pour into the Duodan Canyon.

The tide-like ghost-patterned red ants poured into the Duodan Canyon and immediately launched a merciless killing of the demonic beasts in the canyon.

In the melee, the ant colony, which had a huge numerical advantage, quickly established its superiority in battle, and they continued to rush forward by stepping on the corpses of their companions and monsters.

……

As a large number of demonic beast corpses were transported into Dodan Town, the merchants in the town were boiling again.

Standing on the city wall, Samira looked at the north with a solemn face, and in the middle of the canyon a few kilometers away from the north city wall, there were already traces of ghost-patterned red ants, and they were fighting the demonic beasts in the canyon.

At first, the demonic beasts could still hold on, and the ghost-patterned red ants spewed out a large amount of acid, and those demonic beasts could not resist the corrosion of the body by these acids at all.

The battle situation in the back formed a one-sided trend, and endless ghost-patterned red ants poured towards the northern wall of the canyon.

Samira finally knew what the warehouse was filled with oil for, and this wall alone could not stop those ghostly red ants, and only by building a wall of fire with fire oil could the town of Dodan be defended.

A signal to retreat had been sent from the city walls, allowing the corps that had cleaned up the corpses of the demonic beasts under the city to quickly return to Dodan Town.

By the time Surdak and Andrew re-ascended the city, a large number of ghost-patterned red ants had already entered the middle of the canyon, and some of the vanguard of red ants rushed to the city and were torn apart by the demonic beasts under the city.

I saw the demonic beasts in the canyon being driven by the ant colony and swarming towards the northern city wall.

Some powerful monsters go out of their way to unleash their magic.

The ghost-patterned red ants advanced against the sky-full of ice arrows and fireball wind blades, and there were also patches of ghost-patterned red ants falling in the Dodan Canyon.

It's just that with the appearance of several huge ghost-patterned red ants, they rushed into the second-level demonic beast group, and the demonic beasts gathered under the northern city wall finally couldn't stop it.
