The black earthworm bracelet glows with a faint white glow, and when the dirt encounters this layer of light, it becomes soft and automatically retreats.

Walking through the dirt is like flowing in a gelatinous liquid.

Shen Yi finally understood why the Earth Walking Technique reduced its movement speed by half when activated, this feeling of running in glue was really terrible.

All the equipment was sealed and unusable at this moment, and the shouts of the sappers could not be heard, except for the rumbling trampling sound above the head.

Shen Yi could clearly feel the furious emotions from the large swarm of soldier ants.

It's not just emotions.

A long foot pierced the ground abruptly, like a javelin shot from the roof of the house to stab Shen Yi.

Shen Yi turned his body to the side, dodging this thorn, and then countless long feet and tail thorns from above pierced through the ground, grazing Shen Yi's body one after another, stabbing a straight spear along the ground where Shen Yi ran.

"Damn!" Shen Yi quickly changed direction and ran to the other side. Traveling underground, although slow, has the advantage of not being affected by the terrain of the passage. But the consequence of this is that he can deviate from his course at any time, and in the end he doesn't know where he is running to, and he loses his vision ahead.

However, the soldier ants on the surface seemed to be able to sense movement underground, and no matter how he changed his position, one foot gun after another still kept piercing at him.

At the same time, more than 40 soldier ants also dived underground, and the giant palatal teeth dug through the soil like a road opener, and moved forward quickly.

The speed of these soldier ants was not much slower than Shen Yi's, especially since they were numerous, and once again formed a surrounding and encompassing trend underground.

At the moment when Shen Yi was rushing, a soldier ant suddenly appeared in front of Shen Yi, the palatal teeth broke through the soil layer, cutting Shen Yi's throat, Shen Yi hurriedly dodged sideways, the palatal teeth flew past his face, and at the same time on his left and right sides, two more soldier ants rushed over, Shen Yi couldn't avoid it anymore, activated the black earthworm bracelet, and the person had jumped upward.

As soon as he rushed out of the underground and returned to the passage, the hysterical shouts of the sappers sounded in his ears: "Brother Shen Yi be careful!"

Six soldier ants attacked him from six directions, front, back, up, down, left, and right at the same time, and the foot guns formed a dense forest of guns in front of Shen Yi.

Just as the eighteen foot guns were about to penetrate Shen Yi's chest, Shen Yi's figure flashed suddenly, and the person had disappeared without a trace.

When he reappeared, he was already standing by Frost's side.

――――――――

The battle on the lord's side has ended, ninety-nine soldiers and ants are strewn across the wilderness, the soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, and when they saw Shen Yi returning, all the soldiers let out excited cheers at the same time.

Frost saluted Shen Yi with a military salute: "Welcome back, sir!"

"It's not welcome, Frost, knowing that I didn't want to come back...... I'm not saying never to come back. Shen Yi patted Frost on the shoulder and looked around.

He was currently on a cliff in an area with so many rocks and vegetation that adventurers could use to their advantage against the flight of the soldier ants.

The ground was littered with fragments of the corpses of soldier ants, and the battlefield covered most of the cliffs. Everyone had some injuries on their bodies, and it could be seen that it took a lot of effort to eliminate this soldier ant army.

Lan Meier's face was even more sleepy and tired, and at the same time, there was endless chagrin - there was a big battle, and nothing was gained, but Shen Yi killed the ants and gained something.

Seeing Shen Yi returning, the lord and the gardener ran over excitedly, first clapping Shen Yi in the air to celebrate, and then the lord smiled and said, "Well done, Brother Shen Yi." ”

"It's not pretty at all, in fact I belong to the nature of being beaten and running away in embarrassment. Shen Yi shrugged: "Those guys are really not friendly to guests at all. ”

"It's good that they didn't chase them out!" The sapper in the distance shouted: "Brother Shen Yi, come and take a look at this." ”

Shen Yi jumped on the black lightning quickly, and on the on-board computer, a large number of soldiers and ants in the ant nest were still angrily looking for traces of the intruder. Their tentacles waved everywhere, and the passages were crowded to the point where it was difficult to penetrate, and the soldiers and ants stepped on me, and I stepped on you, crawling wantonly in the passages.

The general ant whose wings were cut off by Shen Yi was even a soldier ant in front of him who was ferocious, and then tore it to pieces, opening and closing its big mouth to devour it.

Shockingly, as it devoured it, the wings that had been cut off in half slowly grew back.

Devour, one of the basic skills of the ant.

In addition to this skill, there are two other skills for Ant Ants: 1 Transformation: You can convert any worker ant into a soldier ant. 2 Ant Aura: Influences all soldiers around you to increase their offensive and defensive strength.

All the skills of the general ant belong to the group skills, and the general ant that was killed by Shen Yi before was killed after all, and was killed without any room to play.

"They look like they're really angry. Looking at the brutal and bloody scene at the scene, Shen Yi smiled.

He lit a cigarette for himself, and handed another one to the lord, the lord shook his head and said that he would not smoke it, but the little nurse snatched it and lit it for himself, which made Shen Yi a little surprised.

Seemingly knowing what Shen Yi was thinking, the little nurse said, "Do you know what the biggest benefit of entering the Bloody City is?"

"What?"

"There are no exams, no teachers, and no this, no that. ”

"And then ......"

"And then I did whatever I wanted, I smoked marijuana, cocaine, all the drugs, and I never had to worry about getting addicted. It's not illegal to kill people here, there's no homework, you don't have to worry about failing, and you don't have to face the people you hate......" The little nurse skillfully flicked the cigarette ash, and then opened her mouth to point to her teeth: "Don't even worry about it turning yellow." ”

Shen Yi smiled: "But you can't see your parents anymore, although sometimes they may make you upset, but when you really leave them, you will find that you have lost your most precious one." ”

The little nurse's eyes dimmed: "You really hate it, living here, let's try to think of as many good places as possible." ”

Patting her little face for comfort, Shen Yi turned his head and continued to observe the movements of the soldiers on the screen, and casually asked the sapper: "Why hasn't the electronic bee gone deeper yet?"

"I can't go. The sapper shook his head: "The remote control distance is not that far, in fact they are now out of control, and can only be entered through you for relay commands when you pass." You'll better get some more advanced animatronic bees next time. By the way, there are two electronic bees that were destroyed by the soldier ants during your rush. ”

"Don't worry about losses, as long as the plan goes well, it's worth it. Shen Yi said as he continued to observe the movements of the soldier ants.

As time passed, and the search was fruitless, the soldiers finally dispersed.

They returned to their places and burrowed into the earth, silently hibernating, and the great nest was calm again.

Shen Yi looked at the bloody emblem on his wrist and whispered, "Three minutes." ”

Then he asked the sapper: "Where did I return?"

"Here. The sapper pointed to the screen: "You deviated from the designated route while traveling underground, and now you are on another passage." To get back on the designated route, you have to ......"

The sapper's finger swiped across the screen: "You must cross this passage and turn at the next fork." The good news is that you have broken through one hundred and twenty meters more than planned, and now you are seven hundred and twenty meters deep in the ant's nest, so to speak, you have penetrated deep into the heart of the enemy's belly. If you can maintain this speed, you'll only need to come back one more time at most to meet the queen. ”

"Got it, replay the video, this time from the time I used the Geo-Walk, until I left the ground. ”

As the video playback, Shen Yi carefully observed the ground performance of the soldiers as he walked.

He watched it very carefully, didn't miss every scene, and had to replay it every now and then. For some shots, it was played continuously, and I watched and watched it repeatedly.

However, no matter how the members of M7 observed, they could not see anything worth studying about the performance of the soldiers in the video......

"Do you see something? Brother Shen Yi. The gardener asked carefully.

"Well, you see my current breakthrough position is at a depth of seven hundred and twenty meters. From the screen, there are a total of fifty passages here, and I counted them, and there are about three hundred soldier ants in total. In addition to the previous hundred, that is to say, in the entire 720-meter range, there are only 400 soldier ants in charge of guarding. ”

"So little?" exclaimed both the lord and the gardener.

The sapper was also puzzled: "The screen looks like it's all of them, and I believe that a thousand soldier ants are all here." ”

Shen Yi smiled: "This is the most interesting part." Look at ......" Shen Yi fixed the screen, and then pointed to the colony of soldier ants acting on the screen and said: "You see, from the outside, we can't see the difference between the soldiers at all. They look exactly the same and cannot be distinguished. In addition, the field of vision that the electronic bees can harvest is always limited, mainly locked in me, and the passage space itself is small, so it gives people the illusion that there are black ants everywhere. But if we leave the narrow perspective and look at the big picture...... You'll find out that this is not the case. ”

"The black ant nest is a nest that is very symmetrical in architecture. Assuming that the queen is located in the deepest part of this nest, then the depth of the entire nest is about 1,800 meters. From the current point of view, the anthill is every 60 meters for a layer, each layer of passages is about four, a total of 30 layers, the number of passages should be about 120, on average, each passage has about eight soldiers. ”

"At first glance, when I entered the attack circle, all the soldier ants were rushing towards me, but in reality it was not. You see, these soldiers don't attack randomly, they know how to cooperate, and most importantly, they even know how to guard the main road. ”

Shen Yi pointed to the various passages on the screen: "Here, here, and here, each place has some soldier ants for coordinated defense. It's only a small part of them that are really responsible for the offense. Most of the soldiers still have their own defensive territory, but the previous static defense has been transformed into a dynamic defense. Some of the soldier ants are responsible for guarding the place, and some of the soldier ants are responsible for attacking, and the number is about half and half. Due to the large number of them, they all look exactly the same and cannot be distinguished, no matter which direction we turn the camera, we see a large number of soldier ants, but we don't know that a considerable part of them are actually overlapping. In addition, the soldier ants themselves are huge, and a passage can accommodate more than a dozen soldier ants, which looks like a black press, accommodating twenty, it is like a crowded sardine in a can, and it is difficult to even turn over, so it will cause me to be in a dilemma, but if you really want to calculate the actual number, it is actually not much. ”

"I see. The lord understood: "So, the so-called black ant attack circle is actually a regional defense strategy, but a more dynamic embodiment?"

"That's right, the so-called circles of attack, that's what adventurers call them. It is important to know that not all adventurers are right, and some of them are even speculations at all. Analyzing your opponent based solely on the evaluations of other adventurers will inevitably lead to mistakes, so in the end, you have to rely on your own observation to come up with accurate answers. The biggest advantage of this defense system is that it has a large range of defense, which makes full use of the terrain and the limited number of soldiers. On the one hand, the main roads are guarded by garrison ant ants, and on the other hand, the guardian power of each passage is flexibly supplemented by soldier ants that take the initiative to attack, so it is very difficult to break through. ”

"Are you kidding?

The staff officer coughed lightly: "The spider's web is called the most perfect anti-collision system by humans in terms of structure. There are many strange inventions in the animal kingdom that are simply not imaginable to humans, and they may not know why they do it, but they know what to do to make themselves safer. Thousands of years of evolution have made them far stronger than humans in their survival instincts. ”

"And what about these guys? How many years have they evolved to become like this?" Zhang Jianjun shouted, pointing to the corpses of soldier ants on the ground and roaring: "Do you look like ants? They say they are called ants, but each one is ten times more fierce than a lion or a tiger." One by one, they flew down......"

Zhang Jianjun patted the black lightning and pointed to a big pit on it: "You can poke a big hole in the steel plate." They're more ferocious than bullets! What kind of evolution would it take to create such a beast?"

Shen Yi replied leisurely: "Maybe it's not evolution, maybe it's an enhancement ......"
