The detonated group of stone pillars was more than 100 meters long, and the collapsed mountain wall just buried the queen ant and a group of male ants hanging far behind under the rockflow.

The rockflow isolated most of the ghostly red ants that were chasing behind.

There were only more than two hundred ghost-patterned soldier ants left on the side of the rockflow, and they were still persevering in biting the back of Surdak and his party.

Surdak, Aphrodite, Samira, Gulitham and Andrew were in front, leading a group of veterans to rely on the complex terrain of the mountain wall, and everyone first killed the four giant ghost-patterned soldier ants led by them, and the remaining more than two hundred ordinary ghost-patterned red ants were not much of a threat in front of everyone at all.

The battle lasted until noon, and more than 200 ghost-patterned soldier ants were slaughtered by Surdak and his party.

Among them, the two-headed ogre slaughtered nearly half of the ghost pattern soldier ants, due to the strong suppression of the power level, almost let the two-headed ogre use the 'thunder combo' to smash the head of a ghost pattern soldier ant, the ghost pattern soldier ant died very miserably, smashed to pieces, the scene was almost miserable.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still precious magic cores in the skulls of these ghost-patterned soldier ants, and the hard armor skin of the soldier ants also had a certain value, Surdak would probably lose a lot this time.

Once the ferocity erupts during the battle of Gulitham, the others will not be able to stop this two-headed ogre.

Surdak felt that Gullitm and his brother, the ogre magician, were still in the early stages of their relationship, and that the battle would help the two become more compatible.

However, how to transport these soldier ant corpses back to Dodan Town is a big problem, and Surdak can only temporarily decide to pile up all the ghost pattern soldier ant corpses together, and take away the demon core and intact soldier ant heads first, and the hard armor can only be temporarily piled up here, and there is a chance to transport these materials back.

The crowd fought halfway up the east side of the canyon, but did not cause the ant colony in the canyon to continue the pursuit.

At the top of a sloping stone pillar on the Sami**, you can look down the mountain.

She pointed to the other side of the rockflow and said to Surdak, "Chief, the last queen ant is evacuating to the north of the canyon with the guards and the ant colony, what should we do?" ”

Surdak saw that the ghost red ants in the canyon were in a state of confusion, apparently the third queen ant was crushed under the rocky stream, and the large number of ghost red ants gathered in the middle of the canyon lost their ruler.

The fourth queen ant is timid and afraid, I am afraid that it is because of her own strength is not enough, and even the number of male ant guards in her hands is at least one.

When it realized that the three Coalition Ghost Pattern Ants had died one after another, it was so frightened that it immediately retreated, and began to retreat to the north of the canyon with all the guards, and also gave up the plan to expand its territory from the northern wall of the Dodan Canyon over the northern city wall to the south.

The fourth queen apparently did not have the ability to rule the entire colony, and in addition to the male ant guards, only more than 10,000 ghost-striped red ants were affected by it and returned north together.

There are still a lot of ghost red ants scattered in the canyon, and at least tens of thousands of them have gathered in the middle of the canyon alone, but most of these ghost red ants are some worker ants with little strength, and the number of ghost pattern soldier ants is relatively different from that of ghost pattern worker ants, and even one in ten.

As for the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, they are even rarer.

However, there was still a large colony of ghostly red ants hovering around the rockflow, and Surdak gave up on the bold idea of returning to the rockflow to find the queen's corpse.

Although this group of veterans have the blessing of God, after all, they have experienced a day by day. After the intense fighting of the night, Surdak was worried that they would be overdrawn, so he decided to continue south along the eastern wall, and the group finally returned to Dodan Town before the sun set.

The moment the sun set, the shadow of the mountains once again enveloped the Dodan Gorge, and Selena, who had been asleep for nearly a day, lay on Surdak's back and slowly opened her eyes.

……

The city guards stood at the head of the city, and when they saw Surdak and his party returning safely, they immediately erupted in cheers, waving the banner of the Luther Legion.

The guards cleared out the city gate hole, and as the heavy iron fence at the main gate slowly rose, the passage of the city gate hole opened, and the smell of blood and rot filled the entire passage, and two rows of city defense guards lined up on the left and right sides of the city gate hole, welcoming Surdak and his party in.

The guards were so excited that they sang a song of triumph when they saw the group return to the town of Dodan almost intact.

Aphrodite had already passed through the Void Gate and returned to the lava caverns of Puss Mountain.

Selena had just come to her senses and twisted her body slightly on Surdak's back, and Surdak immediately felt it.

Surrounded by a crowd of people, he quickly carried Selena on his back to the small building of the military camp.

Nika and Xigna were waiting for Xiaolou, and when they saw that Selena was carried back by Surdak, Nika's face turned pale with fright, and tears kept rolling down her cheeks like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't stop it, and she didn't dare to cry out loud, so she could only cover her mouth with one hand, staggering behind Surdak, and helping to support Selena's legs.

Although Selena looked very bad, she was still conscious, and said to Nika a little weakly: "Nika, why are you crying!" Am I fine? ”

Nika nodded vigorously, but the tears just couldn't stop.

Signa followed alongside, and she looked very calm, but her little face was also tense and silent.

Surdak made Selena lie flat on the bed, the neckline of the black devil's robe was slightly open, and a hollow crescent tattoo appeared on the white skin on the chest, and the hook under the crescent moon extended to the upper end of Selena's right breast, which was extremely delicate.

Signa had already brought a bowl of hot soup with a fragrant smell of meat, and fed Selena spoonful by spoonful.

After drinking a little something, Selena's complexion looked much better.

At this time, Surdak sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What happened?" ”

Selena lay on the large soft bed, Surdak's bedroom, not a treatment room.

She reached out and rubbed her forehead, squinting at her lake-blue eyes, which glowed with a magnificence like jewels.

With a faint smile, his eyes rippled, and he calmly said to Surdak: "When I helped you last night, I asked the goddess to send down a trace of divine thought, and with the divine thought's understanding of the laws of darkness, I temporarily possessed the body of darkness. ”

The body of darkness is a type of body of elements, and with the body of darkness, the body can accept the dark elements of the outside world.

Selena glanced at Nika and pulled Signa to her side.

The soft candlelight in the room exuded a warmth, and the surroundings were quiet.

Selena continued: "It's just that my body's affinity for the dark element is not enough after all, the dark body is completely based on that divine thought's understanding of the laws of darkness, and to maintain the dark fog, I need to use my body to extract a large amount of dark elements from the outside world. ”

"These dark elements are not like the other four water, fire, earth, and wind elements."

"The four elements make up the whole world. They will exist in our world in a state of titanium. ”

"But elements like the Dark Elemental and the Light Elemental exist in a different form, like night and day."

"The dark elemental is especially powerful at night, but these dark elements are not as pure as the titanium body."

"The laws of the dark world always follow the law of the jungle, and I have mixed a dark nightmare into the dark element I extracted from the dark world."

"It is a parasite in the form of darkness, originally wandering in the dark world to devour other weak dark creatures, but I didn't expect to be forcibly absorbed by the magic pattern array, and my body is much weaker than it, she is good at creating dreams, in its dreams, it is almost invincible, even if I have a trace of the goddess's divine thoughts."

"She pulled me into a dream, and I had a long dream......"

Selena's voice was soft, like telling a story.

Surdak took Selena's slender white hand and asked curiously, "Then how exactly did you overcome that dark nightmare?" ”

Selena smiled, grabbed Surdak's hand with her backhand and said: "I just remember that I was about to lose my hand, and suddenly I heard a loud shout from outside, and Shennian relied on the last moment of lucidity to pull my dream in and merge it, and she probably knew that she couldn't occupy my body, so she quickly left." ”

Surdak didn't expect it to be like this, thinking of Aphrodite walking into the Void Gate, the eyes under the Mithril mask were still so plain, as if he had done some trivial thing, the succubus had always been lazy and lazy, with a charming and evil smile, but he could only bite the bullet and say to Selena: "I'm afraid you have to thank Aphrodite for this......"

"She's helping me!" Selena was also a little surprised.

Aphrodite was the most unusual of the four followers around Surdak.

Especially her identity is sensitive, she can't show her true face, and she can only hide in the shadows usually, which makes Selena fall into some thought.

After Selena fell asleep, Surdak left the building.

The half-elf archer immediately followed him, she had a faint scent of soaphorn, her broken hair was still a little wet, the salamander leather armor had also been carefully brushed, at least there was no sour smell on it, and she carried the 'withered painting' hunting bow behind her back, and a pot of arrows hung on her waist, swinging when she walked, and her slender figure became very enchanting.

Samira, with her excellent archery skills, had already established her prestige in the garrison camp.

Along the way, the soldiers in the camp saluted the two of them.

Seeing that everything was normal in the camp, Surdak took Sami ** up to the north wall, where Adams and Gallatin were already guarding the city. At night, they had just climbed out of the marching tents on the city wall, and it seemed that they had slept in the marching tents for a while while there was no fighting in the city in the afternoon.

The sun had almost set into the mountains, and the canyon was completely dark.

In the past, the ant colony had begun to overwhelm the territory in large numbers, but there was no movement tonight, and the scorched earth under the city wall was covered with the stumps and broken legs of the ghost-patterned red ants, but there were no ghost-patterned red ants.

The wall of fire in front of the wall had been broken in several places, and the city guards asked Adams to receive a few barrels of oil to rekindle the extinguished part of the wall.

Surdak waved his hand at the city guard, and said to the city guard: "There is a high probability that the ghost-patterned red ants will not come to attack the city tonight, even if the fire wall under the city wall is extinguished, it will be convenient for us to collect the demon core in the ashes!" ”

The city guards looked happy, gave a military salute and ran away.

It didn't take long for the news to spread at the head of the city, and the city guards with nervous faces relaxed.

The ghost-patterned red ants in the canyon have turned into a plate of loose sand, and even if some of the ghost-patterned red ants want to attack the city, they will not pose any threat to the northern city wall.

Adams and Gallatin accompanied Surdak around the city walls, and Surdak simply instructed the city guards to collect the giant crossbow arrows on the mountain walls on either side of the walls.

The mountain walls on both sides have been shot to tatters, and some of the giant crossbow arrows are still stuck with the corpses of ghost-patterned soldier ants, and at night, under the reflection of the firelight, the mountain walls on both sides are as terrifying as hell, and it is easy to scare yourself.

The cleared ghost soldier ants can also soak in the pit.

……

At this time, a neighing of war horses sounded under the northern city wall.

Surdak looked down from the city wall and saw Andrew running out of the garrison camp with a cavalry battalion.

A cavalry in full gear was waiting under the city, and there was the big man in the ranks, the ogre Gulitham.

Andrew climbed up to the top of the city in three steps and two steps, found Surdak on the wall, and shouted, "Report ......"

Andrew was unwilling to give up the corpses of more than two hundred ghost tattooed soldier ants piled up on the other side of the mountain wall, and returned to the garrison camp to discuss with his eight squadron leaders, everyone felt that it was very necessary to transport the corpses of those ghost tattooed soldier ants back, no matter what, these monster materials are also a lot of wealth, since everyone has earned merit value, it is necessary to transport this wealth back.

Now Andrew climbed the city wall and asked Surdak to lead the cavalry over overnight to bring back those magical beast materials.

Surdak thought a little and agreed.

As the iron fence of the city gate was hoisted again, a troop of cavalry marched into the Dodan Gorge, followed by fifty four-wheeled carriages.

After receiving this news, the mercenary union couldn't sit still.

The first few times when the city gate was opened, the bold mercenaries ran outside the city, basically making a lot of money, this time the president of the mercenary union did not want to miss such an opportunity, and hurriedly chased to the material warehouse of the city defense guard brigade, and applied to Surdak, who was checking the loss of armaments and materials in the material warehouse, hoping that the mercenary group could also take this opportunity to go out of the city to hunt.

In light of the recent strong support of the mercenary group for the defense of the northern wall, Surdak agreed to the request of the president of the mercenary union.

Although at night, the town of Dodan becomes especially lively.

Teams of mercenaries quickly organized themselves through the alleys of the town and gathered under the northern city walls, each checking the equipment they were carrying, and they were extremely excited.

Not long after, the mercenaries disappeared into the night outside the northern city walls.
