The gap under the stone beam was instantly buried by the countless thorny stone pillars that collapsed.

However, the shelter was very strong, and although countless crumbling rubble flowed down and trapped Surdak and the cavalry battalion veterans in it, the crack in the stone still withstood the impact of the landslide and did not collapse completely.

The violent shock, which lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, felt like a century long.

The last crack in the stone crevice was also completely filled with rubble, and everyone entered a claustrophobic space.

The blasting point chosen by Surdak is located on both sides of the gap in the stone beam. Although some thorny stone pillars also fell above the stone beam, they only affected the gap in this stone beam, but the entire col was filled with stalagmites.

The cave was filled with a lot of dust, and recently the veterans of the cavalry battalion had skillfully covered their mouths and noses with masks. In the Wastelands, this mask to prevent volcanic ash from being sucked into the lungs became almost a must-have item for cavalrymen.

Surdak raised the torch of light and stepped on the loose gravel beneath his feet to inspect the cavern's damage.

The veterans were about to light their torches, but were stopped by Surdak's drink.

Surdak then noticed a stalagmite inserted diagonally from the outside, but the stalagmite happened to pass through the body of the ghost-patterned male ant that was blocking the outside, and some disgusting male entrails hung from the tip of the bamboo shoot.

Selena's tent was still sitting in the deepest part of the crevice, unaffected by the earthquake, but she was still unconscious.

When the earthquake outside subsided, Andrew tried to climb up the rocks at the entrance of the cave, intending to find a way out, but the gravel was very loose, and after picking up some of it, the rubble on it continued to flow down, and all the work he had done was lost for a while.

Just as Gulit was about to go together to help Andrew clean the entrance to the cave, Surdak walked over from it and said to Aphrodite: "Aphrodite, take out the secret weapon you have prepared, the space here is not too large, if we don't dig out the passage quickly, we people may suffocate here!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, I'll let them open a passage as soon as possible......"

After saying that, she let go of her body, and the five ghost-patterned worker ants crawled out of the depths of the rock crevice behind her as if they were drunk.

None of the five ghost-patterned worker ants were injured, and it seemed that they were also controlled by Aphrodite.

Surdak came closer with the torch of holy light, and when he looked closely, he saw that the tentacles in front of the heads of these ghost-patterned worker ants were more like two shovels, which were not only convenient for digging the earth, but also clamped some gravel, and digging underground burrows seemed to be their instinct.

They didn't blindly rush to the entrance of the cave and dig randomly, but searched around the entire hole and probed around before they started.

Five ghost worker ants chose to dig diagonally above the mountain wall, and several ghost worker ants moved some gravel to the stone cave in an orderly manner, and even erected a few huge rocks while digging to support the collapse of the cave to prevent the debris from sliding down again and filling the hole dug out.

They walk a little unnaturally, but they are very skilled in digging holes.

In the process of excavating the exit, it is inevitable to encounter some stalagmites in front of you. These stalagmites are buried in their entirety, revealing only a small part, which cannot be removed at all, and the ghost pattern worker ants generally choose to bypass as much as possible, if they really can't get around, they will start to spit acid at the stalagmites, and when the rock softens, they will bite off little by little with huge tentacles......

At this time, Surdak arranged for the veterans who had fought hard all night to eat a little food and rest in place.

Then he checked the casualties of the veterans of the cavalry battalion, in addition to one who was smashed by a boulder and broke his leg, there were also two veterans who were bitten by the ghost soldier ants last night, Surdak hurriedly began to clean their wounds, and the one with the broken leg could only clamp the leg to the plank and fix it, and then use the Holy Light Technique to speed up the healing.

The injuries of the other two veterans were treated more simply, just cleaning the wounds and not even needing to suture the wounds, they already had the 'Divine Blessed Body' in their bodies, and with the effect of the Holy Light Technique, the wounds healed quickly and almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The other veterans were fine, almost all of them had some minor injuries, and almost all of them were burned by the acid of the ghost red ants, and of course, this kind of thing was always unavoidable in battle.

Even the three wounded veterans were not completely incapacitated, but they were a little sluggish, and after the treatment, Surdak let him lie down in his sleeping bag and sleep for a while.

……

In the dark cavern, there are only five tireless ghost-patterned worker ants digging their way out.

Andrew sat cross-legged on a stone wall, he put the butcher's axe flat on his lap, one hand touched the handle of the axe, and the other hand rubbed the pattern engraved on the blade of the axe, the surging battle qi evaporated from his body, like a burning flame, this battle qi overflowed in the body showed that he had completely mastered the battle qi, enough to show that the 'Berserker Soul' of the Nanai indigenous warrior was only one step away from the second turn.

In just two hours, five ghost-patterned worker ants dug a passage through the rubble piled up in front of the cracks in the stone beams.

Sunlight shone in from outside, and the dark space was filled with dust.

Fresh air was poured into the enclosed stone chamber by the wind, and the veterans of the cavalry battalion trapped in the cracks in the stone let out an irrepressible cheer.

The ghostly soldiers cleared the walls of the cave a little, and Samira crawled out of the cave.

She looked around the entrance of the cave before creeping out cautiously, then poking her head into the cave and reaching out to pull Surdak out of the cave as well.

Surdak found that a large part of the mountain wall had collapsed, and after the large thorny stone pillars that had been blown up by the explosives filled the col, the remaining stone pillars rolled into the valley below the mountain wall, forming an obvious landslide.

Countless broken thorny stone pillars are scattered in the landslide, as if they are in ruins......

The ruins were mixed with the corpses of many ghost-patterned worker ants, and even some light brown blood stains emerged from many rock crevices, and those large-sized ghost-patterned male ants were basically buried in them.

Some of the ghost-patterned males were not completely buried, some parts of the body were in the ruins, some of the ghost-patterned males' limbs were broken into several sections under the impact of the stone pillars, and some sharp stone pillars pierced the hard carapace of the ghost-patterned males......

Andrew climbed out with a group of veterans, and the veterans scattered around to guard themselves, regardless of their dusty bodies.

The ogre Gullitum was the last to crawl out, and the exit dug by the ghost-patterned worker ants was a little narrow for him, and it took a little more effort for the tall ogre to crawl out of the cave.

When Gullitham also crawled out, the five ghost-patterned worker ants responsible for digging the cave wall burst their heads and died under Aphrodite's control, and the light brown blood splashed on the rubble on the side, making the veterans resting next to them shiver.

They didn't know Aphrodite's true identity, but they were shocked and terrified of Aphrodite's methods.

Many of the ghostly ants in the canyon gather at the foot of the canyon and are trying to climb up the dirt slopes.

The veterans of the cavalry battalion quickly dispersed and began to clear the battlefield.

The ghost-patterned male ants buried under the boulders, as long as some stumps and broken arms are exposed, the veterans will come over and take the demon core from their bodies as much as possible.

As for the biggest gain of this battle, the queen ant was surrounded by a group of ghost-patterned male ants, even at the last moment of the rubble collapse, the group of ghost-patterned male ants did not give up on this queen, and used their huge bodies to resist the impact of the rockflow for the queen, and the queen ant also struggled to rise into the air with all her might, but unfortunately at the last moment, a stalagmite shot out of the chest penetrated, and the body hung on a broken stone pillar near the entrance of the col.

When the ogre found the remains of the ghost-patterned queen, the queen's body was already there, and Andrew helped him cut off the queen's head, and finally obtained the brain marrow of the third ghost-patterned queen.

He didn't even pay attention to the large number of ghost-patterned red ants gathered at the foot of the mountain, so he ran to the mouth of the cave with the head of the ghost-patterned ant queen, and set up a large iron pot with a hum, pouring out the jelly-like matcha-colored brain marrow inside, and the slimy brain marrow filled most of the pot.

During this time, Gulitham also fished out a fist-sized magic core from it and threw it to Surdak next to him.

Beneath the iron pot was a magic scroll of fire-gathering magic, and the flames rushed up, just enough to wrap the iron pot in it, and the ogre waited happily.

The veterans quickly excavated the ghost-patterned male ants buried in the rockflow before they rushed up.

……

Standing on top of a stalagmite, Surdak could see the queen ant in the colony at the foot of the mountain, hovering at a low altitude beyond the reach of the male ants, directing a group of ants from the northern city wall to climb the steep slope formed by the rocky flow.

These ghost soldiers tried to rush up along the landslide, but at the foot of the mountain were almost all floating gravel, when they first climbed, these ghost soldiers did not encounter any problems, but when the number was large, the floating sand and gravel on the hillside were stepped on, and these loose gravel continued to slide down with the ghost pattern soldier ants.

There are even small rockslides that have formed and buried some of the ghostly red ants that climb upwards.

Although there were no casualties, this immediately slowed down the attack rhythm of the ghost-patterned red ants, and some ghost-patterned soldiers gathered at the foot of the mountain, turning back and forth, but refusing to climb the mountainside.

Some of the ghostly soldiers tried to make a detour from both sides of the mountain wall, and soon some of them found a mountain path full of thorny stone pillars, and many soldiers crowded into the doorway, intending to enter the mountain pass that had been filled by the rockflow.

It's just that this part of the road is not easy to walk, and the ghost-patterned red ants have been hiding in the mountain road before, and they have been frightened by the collapsed thorny stone pillars, and they were initially under the control of the dead ghost-patterned ant queen.

Now the queen ant at the foot of the mountain has not had time to take over the men, so they hide in the mountain path and shiver.

The ghost-patterned red ants that wanted to pass through this mountain road were blocked behind, and some ghost-patterned soldier ants stepped on the body of the red ants in front of them to break in, but it caused the dissatisfaction of those ghost-patterned red ants, and a riot broke out in the mountain road.

A group of ghost-patterned male ants surrounded the queen, and slowly caught up from behind, and the queen ant spread out three pairs of cicada wings in front of these ghost-patterned red ants, revealing their scarlet belly like a curved hook, which immediately made the surrounding ghost-patterned red ants surrender.

And the ghost-patterned males around them squeezed over desperately, stretching out their two searchlight-like tentacles, wanting to touch the queen.

The queen ant subconsciously raised the flight altitude to avoid being touched by the ghost male ant, and the entire ant colony worshipped this queen.

In the canyon, another queen ant was also surrounded by a group of ghost-patterned male ants, and hurried towards this side.

……

Surdak checked Selena's condition, and although her face had recovered, she was still asleep.

Samira has been keeping an eye on the movements of the ghost-patterned red ants below, but it is not so easy for these ghost-patterned soldiers to climb into the mountain col at present.

However, some ghost pattern worker ants who were lucky not to die are now pouring out of the mountain road again.

There has been a skirmish battle with the battle team led by Andrew on the stone slope, these worker ants are not the opponent of these veterans who have turned their strength, the knight's sword in the veteran's hand is almost soaked in light brown blood, and there is still a steady stream of ghost-patterned red ants approaching upward.

Because there was still a large group of ghost-patterned red ants staring at this side behind, Andrew was not in love with war, and after seeing that the demon core on the ghost-patterned male ant was almost collected, he threw out two fire-scale bombs towards the exit of the mountain road, and with the explosion of fire-scale bullets, several ghost-patterned worker ants were splashed with flesh and blood.

Andrew took the opportunity to retreat back with the veterans.

The explosion subsided, and the ghost-patterned red ants in the mountain path reappeared.

The big iron pot in front of Gullitham had already boiled the frozen brain marrow inside, and the ogre Gullitm hurriedly withdrew the fire magic scroll, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he sat in front of the big iron pot, took out a wooden spoon, scooped out the hot paste inside, and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.

When he ate these foods, his eyes were almost closed, and the moment the ant paste entered his throat, his shoulders shook violently twice, as if he had enjoyed extremely delicious food.

The ogre swallowed the ant paste into his stomach almost like a whirlwind, and then the ogre's body became hot, and the marble skin became red and white for a while, and the body swelled like an inflated balloon, and the second head on his shoulder finally changed very noticeably.

Although the facial features on the second skull have not yet been fully formed, there are already some expressions of joy and sorrow on the face.

Then the head struggled beneath a thin layer of epidermis, as if trying to break free from some kind of restraint.

Black sun patterns appeared on the Ogre Gulitham's chest, and those veins erupted into huge mana fluctuations.

He stood high and reached out and tugged hard at the second skull, and a thin piece of skin was torn off by him like a rubber sleeve, and then an equally young face appeared next to him, startling Gullitham.

The same nose, mouth, ears, but those eyes are a little special.

One eye is like cold ice and snow, taking on an ice-blue color.

The other eye is like a burning flame that takes on a blazing red color......
