Chapter 116: Red Sand Ants
'Click... Click...'
I don't know how long it took, but the cave, which was originally so quiet that there was only a slight sound of breathing, there was a crisp cracking sound.
A serpentine sculpture that looked like it was made of metal, with cracks on its surface, revealing a faint bronze glow.
As the cracks grew, the slight cracking sound grew.
'Bang! ’
Until the cobweb-thin cracks spread around every corner, the bronze glow burst out, and all the tiny pieces of metal splattered in unison.
(ノ ́▽')ノ clicked loudly, Lao Tzu made a brilliant debut!
The bronze serpent, who successfully used the racial ability 'Iron Armor Rebirth' to remove toxins, heal injuries, and resurrect with full blood, shouted and screamed.
It wanted to share its joy with its own demon envoy, and after turning its head to look around for a while, it found that Jiang Yifan was lying on his side and curled up in a ball 'snoring and sleeping'.
(▰ ̆◡ ̆▰) Don't sleep, don't sleep, get up and praise Lao Tzu!
The bronze serpent swam over excitedly and poked him in the back with the tip of its tail.
No response...
(。 ・'ω ́・) Hey, hurry up, sleep lazy again, Lao Tzu will have a trick!
The bronze snake slapped his buttocks with its tail, and the tip of the tail drew a circle around a sensitive part as a threat.
Still no response...
٩(๑'^ ́๑)۶ Damn! actually pretended to be asleep and ignored Lao Tzu!
The bulging bronze snake leaned forward and leaned in front of Jiang Yifan's face, wanting to expose his prank.
But...
Just one glance, it froze...
Because the appearance of the young man at this time is too much worse than usual.
Not only is his face as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, but his purple lips are constantly trembling slightly...
The bronze snake subconsciously spit out the snake letter and pasted it on his forehead, but he was so hot by the ridiculously high body temperature that he drooped his tongue and blew on his breath.
(≡Д≡; It's not a big problem, it's not a big problem if it's not cold, as long as Lao Tzu transfers some physical strength to you, you can be resurrected with full blood...
The bronze snake pretended to calmly want to transfer his physical strength through the 'Psychic Technique and Physique Sharing', and help Jiang Yifan also open the 'Iron Armor Rebirth', pulling the body's self-healing ability to full level.
But then it found out that the 'Constitution Sharing' was already in use.
And not only 'constitution sharing', but also another psychic technique, 'pain transfer', is also in operation...
"Huh?"
The bronze snake tilted its head in confusion.
Because these two psychic skills are not automatically activated, and since it has not been opened, it means that Jiang Yifan opened it.
What are the two-legged beasts doing with this?
The bronze snake was puzzled, so he tried to transfer the goal of 'pain transfer' to himself...
!!!
But the next moment, the pain that poured into all parts of the body like a tide made the pair of snake pupils contract suddenly, the muscles of the whole body spasmed, and the wide open mouth was so painful that it couldn't make a sound...
In just an instant, the bronze snake was already unable to support it and slowly collapsed to the ground.
At the same moment, as the surging pain in his body quickly faded, Jiang Yifan's brows, which seemed to be about to be twisted together, were finally relieved, but his face was still terrifying.
Witnessing the subtle change in his expression, the bronze snake that collapsed beside him suddenly understood why those two psychic skills were turned on...
I understood why I couldn't activate the racial ability at the time, and then I succeeded in activating it...
I understand why the two-legged beast that looked fine before is now lying on the ground...
The bronze snake fell into a stupor, its eyes became empty and dazed, allowing the surging pain to run wild in its muscles, meridians, and bones.
But even if it didn't do anything, it wanted to collapse on the ground so quietly and feel the pain, only to find that the pain was gradually subsiding.
It's just slow, because the toxins in its body have been completely removed.
Without the support of toxins as a source, the pain will gradually subside.
But...
Until the toxin is removed, the pain is constant.
This also means that the pain in the body that made it instantly convulsed and collapsed to the ground at this time only reduced the residual amount...
The residue is still like this, if it is the peak of pain... What kind of torture should it be?
The bronze snake couldn't imagine it, but just collapsed numbly, allowing the remaining pain to erode his nerves.
During this time, I thought a lot of things in my head, and it seemed like I didn't think about anything...
'Snort~''Sneer~''Sneer~'
It wasn't until there was a soft sound somewhere in the cave that it finally came back to its senses.
In the blink of an eye, one of the stone walls of the cave happened to be broken, and a russet figure the size of a basketball emerged from it.
[Red Sand Ant, D-Class Earth Demon Spirit]
[The appearance resembles an enlarged version of termites, the whole body is russet, and the hard carapace is like armor.]
Red sand ants can secrete special formic acid from their mouthparts, which can easily dissolve sand and gravel for burrowing or feeding.
This special ability allows a colony of red sand ants to excavate an underground palace that is large enough to accommodate the entire colony in just a few days.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the queen ant and a few female red sand ants in the queen ant reserve, the red sand ant family is all male, and the breeding method is also very peculiar.
Normally, males can only evolve into queen ants after receiving pheromones from the queen ant that represent mating, and will die after mating.
Suddenly, all male red sand ants still regard mating with the queen once as a lifelong dream. 】
[There are two types of evolutionary forms, male and female, the female is the B+ grade 'Red Sand Ant Queen', and the male is the B-class 'Red Sand Ant King']
"Whew!"
The red sand ant's compound eyes swung to scan the entire cavern, and after finally locking onto the huge blood mist on the cold pool, it couldn't help but shake its mouthparts excitedly, and then shook its tentacles to drill back into the tunnel it had just dug.
ヾ (゚∀゚ゞ) comrades! I found it! I am the one who has a baby with Her Majesty tonight!
With the arrival and return of the red sand ants, after a while, the entire cave vibrated around the cave, and the soft sound of spitting formic acid dissolving the stone wall from far and near was endless.
Some of the red sand ants that were relatively close soon broke through the stone wall, burrowed into the cave, and marched towards the blood mist.
The Bronze Serpent didn't care about their snatching of the blood mist.
But...
The route they chose to travel was so desperate that they had to cross the river.
'Whew! ''Whoa! ''Whoa! ’
The bronze snake endured the pain in his body, and angrily shook his head and spat out the overwhelming golden needles.
The shot is ruthless, and it is directly a killer move.
The landing point of each golden needle is specially selected on the head, neck, and abdomen of the red sand ant, and it is nailed in place!
In the bodies of these dead red sand ants, a few of them floated out of a blood mist as thin as a gossamer, and faintly, there was a tendency to drift towards the large blood mist above the cold pool.
"Whew!"
Some of the red sand ants that broke through the stone wall were not the right time to witness the tragic death of their companions.
But this did not deter them from obeying Her Majesty's orders, and they were still marching towards the blood mist without fear of death.
Big ones, small ones, they all have them!
