Chapter 36: Gold-eating Ants
readx;? The plan was decided, and the mercenary group acted again, they collected all kinds of materials to build a defensive wall, and then quickly went to the front line, along the way, from time to time encountered scattered demon wolves, demon wolves whimpered, warning these enemies of approaching.

The mercenary group naturally didn't care about the warnings of these demon wolves, they directly attacked, destroyed these demon wolves, and drove quickly all the way to the valley mouth. The distance of more than 30 miles is just over an hour.
The area that Arenas said was more than three miles away from the valley mouth, and in these three miles, they encountered some wolves, but they were all small groups of wolves, with dozens of demon wolves and only a few hundred, such wolves were naturally not their opponents, and the mercenaries who opened their mouths solved it.
That section of the lot, on both sides of the protruding boulders, only the middle section can be passed, and even in the middle section, there are occasionally some large stones, the passage is not so smooth, such a place, is undoubtedly the most suitable for building a interception wall.
"Woo!" Countless wolves in the valley whimpered, warning the mercenary group.
The mercenary group naturally ignored their whimpering at this time, they were just busy carrying stones and building an interception wall, at this time, Huo Tao was also busy, even, busier than anyone else, the mercenary group chose to build an interception wall to intercept the demon wolf, and the key was that Hult could arrange a strengthening magic array.
The reinforcement of the interception wall was much larger than the defensive wall of the Boulder Mountain Package, and Huo Tao rested three times, and it took four hours to complete the reinforcement once. At this time, the demon wolves also gathered again, and the dense demon wolf pack filled the entire valley.
"Whew!" Perhaps sensing the threat, the Wolf King gave the order to attack again, and the battle began again.
"Kill!" "Woooo
However, there was nothing Huo Tao to do, he returned to the tent to "restore his magic power", and sitting in the tent, he continued to study the magic pattern of the refining magic array.
At this time, he was more familiar with those magic patterns, even if the shouting and killing sound in front of him shook the sky, he could still write the magic patterns calmly.
The fierce battle lasted for three days, leaving behind tens of thousands of demon wolf corpses again, the demon wolves retreated again, and the confrontation began again.
"Clean up the battlefield and retrieve all the corpses. It's just that this time the mercenary group didn't wait too long, just rested for half a day, and McWeill gave the order to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, the mercenary group already has the strength to fight the demon wolves, so naturally they will not procrastinate any longer, let alone let these demon wolf corpses become food for the demon wolves, what is the purpose of their construction of that defensive wall? That is not to lock up these demon wolves and cut off the food source of the demon wolves.
The next battle has become easier and easier, without waiting for the demon wolf to take the initiative to attack, the mercenary group launched an attack on the third day, and each attack is not deep, just a touch of retreat, the magicians completed the bombardment, and the mercenary group quickly retreated, of course, by the way, also brought back all the wolf corpses.
Under the repeated attacks of the mercenary group, the wolves lost more and more, and in the end, the entire wolf pack was about less than 20,000.
"Let go of the interception wall and drive them out!" There are less than 20,000 demon wolves left, McWeill gave the order to drive away, the trapped beasts are still fighting, he doesn't want to fight with these wolves, and it's completely unnecessary, their task is to clean up the one-horned demon wolves in the canyon and drive the demon wolves out of the canyon, which is obviously a cleanup.
Successive slaughters, more than 100,000 demon wolves died, even the demon wolves with a brutal temperament and were not afraid of death, did not have the initial ferocity, some wolves chose to escape, once the escape began, it could no longer be contained, the entire wolf pack retreated, and even the wolf king began to flee.
It's just that the mercenary group will let go of those demon wolves, but they will not let go of the wolf king, let go of some demon wolves, the employer can't say anything, but if even the wolf king escapes, then it's a bit unspeakable, a wolf pack with a wolf king, that is a wolf pack, once they withdraw, the wolf pack will definitely come back, and if the wolf king is lost, the wolf pack will inevitably split, and the threat of scattered wolf packs is not very big, in such a place, it can't even be considered a threat.
"Take a full day's rest and start cleaning up the gold-eating ants tomorrow. McWeil gave the order to recuperate.
The whole team cheered, this has been fighting for almost more than a month, and the mercenaries really need to take a good rest.
However, the mercenary group is not exactly the people of the mercenary group, there is also an employer, or it should be said that the employer sent him, Wood is sent by the employer to supervise the execution of the task and be responsible for the development of the magic gold mine in this valley, the wolves retreated, the task is half completed, he, the person in charge, should also go into battle, the team rested, he immediately found McWell and Arenas,
"Captain McWell, Lord Arenas, we hope that you will be able to raise and strengthen this interception wall to a height of five meters and a meter wide, and we are willing to pay 1,200 magic coins. "For Wood, such a defensive wall is obviously necessary, of course, he needs not an interception wall, but a defensive wall, and as a mine, they have to have strong defenses, and such a defensive wall has to be built sooner or later.
It's just that such a defensive wall is obviously unnecessary for the mercenary group, and such a simple interception wall can be completely dealt with now, so if Wood wants to build a defensive wall, he can only pay extra money.
Of course, the original plan was not this, the original plan was for their people to come in and build it again, but now there is Hott, a magic apprentice whose level of the magic array is stronger than the average magic array master, he will naturally choose to start construction now, for him, the sooner this defensive wall is repaired, the more solid his heart will be, after all, he is going to be stationed here for a long time, in such a place, what is more important than his own safety?
Of course, another fundamental reason why he chose to construct now is that Hort's terrifying speed of depicting the magic array, such a speed is much faster than that of the genuine magic array master, and they are reluctant to spend money on a magic array master for such a small project, but can only hire an ordinary magic array assistant.
"Lord Arenas, what do you think?" McWell looked at Arenas on the side, such a thing, they are not a big problem, anyway, until now, there are not many things for the mercenaries, only a few mercenaries need to protect and assist the magicians to clean up the gold-eating ants, most of the mercenaries have nothing to do, they are idle, and if they can earn some magic coins, naturally no one will be unwilling.
However, the key to the construction of this defensive wall depends on Hoth, without Hoth's strengthening technique, they will not be able to strengthen and strengthen the defensive wall at all.
"Well, I'll ask Hott, he's also tired these days. Arenas didn't know much about Holt's specifics and didn't dare to agree.
"Lord Arenas, I can give Lord Hult an extra copy of the Ancient Level 1 Demon Formation Diagram. Wood didn't know much about the relationship between Arenas and Holt, thinking that Arenas deliberately shirked it, and in a hurry, he immediately added a magic array diagram.
"Then I'll go back and ask Hult now. "Arenas was slightly surprised, building such a defensive wall, 1200 magic coins is relatively generous, plus a first-level magic array diagram, that is greatly beyond the normal price, the ancient magic array, even the most general magic array diagram, is worth one or two hundred magic coins.
"Please, Lord Arenas. Wood said earnestly.
"Twelve hundred magic coins, how much can I get?" Hult asked his grandfather.
"According to the practice of the mercenary group, this kind of extra task mercenary group will take twenty percent, and in the Warcraft Forest, the magic array master can get half of the remuneration for this kind of construction. The additional magic array diagram is completely yours alone, and this kind of reward is very high even in the Warcraft Forest, and under normal circumstances, a magic array master can't earn so much on this trip alone. "Arenas is clearly not opposed to Hult taking on such a task, which is both profitable and not dangerous, and it is safer for Hult to stay here to build a defensive wall than to follow them to clear the gold-eating ants.
"Oh, then Grandpa, you promise them. "Naturally, Hult is willing to earn this money.
Next, the team began to divide the work, with mercenaries of average strength or some disabled building defensive walls, and mages starting to clean up the gold-eating ants.
The cleaning of gold-eating ants is very troublesome, gold-eating ants live in the hole**, feed on metal or metal ore, usually do not leave the hole**, and their hole ** is very small, people can't enter at all, only pour the special magic potion into the hole** to eliminate these gold-eating ants, this is a rather long project.
Huo Tao wanted to strengthen the defensive wall, so naturally he couldn't follow the magician's actions, but in just over three days, the defensive wall was completed according to the standard.
The defensive wall was completed, Huo Tao did not join the work of cleaning up the gold-eating ants, his magic power was limited, but he didn't want to waste it on it, he just followed the team of magicians to watch the excitement, until, they found a huge gold-eating ant cave**.
Of course, the so-called huge is only compared with the general gold-eating ant hole**, and the gold-eating ant hole** is more than a foot in diameter. The huge hole **, like a mine hole, is bottomless, and the hole ** is bigger, even if it is bigger, such a hole ** is still upward.
The magicians cleaned up the gold-eating ants with magic potions, and such a hole** obviously couldn't use magic potions.
After all, according to the requirements of the task, the gold-eating ants are only required to eliminate more than 90%, a small gold-eating ant cave**, which does not affect the completion of the task, but such a huge hole**, the number of gold-eating ants in it is obviously terrifying, and it may even be more than all the gold-eating ants in those holes combined, if it can't be solved, then their task can not be said to be completed.
"This cave ** should only be the entrance of this section is up, after entering a distance, it should still go down. Looking at the hole**, Hauswell said slowly, the gold-eating ants feed on magic metal, and magic metals are buried deep underground, and their hole** is naturally unlikely to go all the way up.
"However, even a distance is enough for us to have a headache. Nana looked at the cave **, with a bitter gourd face, this time the work of cleaning up the gold-eating ants, but she was in charge.
"Just to see if we can widen a little bit. "There's no good way to do it either.
"I'll try it......" There is no good way for Sailun, the mine containing magic metals, the mountains and rocks are very hard, there are no special tools, even if they are martial artists, it is difficult to break through, ordinary mercenaries, there is no need to try, only he personally shoots, maybe there is a little possibility.
It's just that he obviously overestimated himself a little.
"Boom!" Selen brandished a heavy horse chopping knife and slashed at the stone wall, and in the loud noise, some stone chips were splashed, but that's all, the fierce knife only cut a gap about the size of a fist.
"Let's find another way. Nana smiled wryly and shook her head, and Seren could only shrug her shoulders helplessly.
"What can you do? Without professional tools, it is impossible to get in. Hauswell shook his head.
"Brother Hult, you use your brains too......" Nana looked at Hult.
"Holt...... Perhaps, Hult can get in......" Hauswell's eyes fell on Hult, but suddenly his eyes lit up, they adults couldn't get in, Hott's stature, although it was a little aggrieved to go in, but he was barely able to climb in. ...
