【763】The swarm descends
"Bang!"
Just hear a muffled sound.
The cover of the underground passage was pushed open.
"Woo~"
A gust of wind mixed with sand poured in in an instant.
Luo Jun instinctively narrowed his eyes to avoid the sand getting into his eyes.
Immediately he realized that he was wearing a biochemical armor, and it was impossible for sand to get into his eyes, so he opened his eyes again.
Captain Fan said that the armor helmet has a biological respiratory system, which can survive for several days even in an environment full of poisonous gases.
"Sand! Sand! ”
The sand hits the mask with a slight noise.
Luo Jun's mind moved, and the biochemical muscles in the legs of the battle armor were stimulated.
The next moment.
An explosive force came from the legs.
His whole body instantly bounced up two meters high, flew out of the hole, and landed smoothly on the sand, making a "bang" sound.
Luo Jun couldn't help but sigh: "It's too advanced!" ”
If the Little Spirit Realm had been equipped with such a powerful battle armor before, the Black Armor Army would not have sacrificed a dozen or even dozens of soldiers every year.
"Woo~"
The wind roared.
Although it was through a fully enclosed helmet, it was still clearly audible.
This is because the helmet has integrated biomimetic ears, which perfectly reproduce the real sound of the external environment, and even amplify the external sound when necessary.
In a word.
It's so advanced that you don't want it.
Luo Jun had a thought in his mind and looked up at the sand dunes on his right.
As far as the eye can see.
A small yellow dot is hovering back and forth on the sheltered side of the dune.
A soldier next to him also noticed this scene and asked, "Is that a flying ant?" ”
Luo Jun bowed his head and said, "It should be." ”
He walked over first: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
These two warriors were the people who were ordered to come out to check on the flying ant colony.
Soon.
Two warriors approached the flying ants.
"Hum~"
The sound of flying ants flapping their wings kept coming.
There is a strange sense of rhythm in it.
Luo Jun felt that this was not normal, and guessed: "Is the sound made by the flying ants flapping their wings trying to express something?" ”
The companion was unimpressed: "Maybe it's just the wind, they need to adjust their flight attitude, so the sound will change." ”
Luo Jun didn't say anything more, just cautiously took a few steps forward.
Subsequently.
Amazing things happened.
"Hum~"
The sound of flapping wings suddenly changed, and the feeling of frustration became more pronounced.
Luo Jun blurted out: "This is language!" ”
The companion opened his mouth, but this time there was no rebuttal.
Because this strange phenomenon really can no longer be explained by the "influence of the wind".
A few seconds later.
The flying ant colony took the initiative to lean over and circled around the two.
The rhythm of the flapping of wings is stronger.
Luo Jun listened carefully for a while, and his face was surprised: "They seem to be saying that we will guide the enemy's position." ”
The companion was a little skeptical: "Not really." ”
As soon as the words fell.
The flying ant colony has changed again.
They rise and fall like waves.
This is clearly a response.
Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked loudly, "Are you willing to be our guide and guide us to the enemy's position?" ”
"Hum~"
The ups and downs of the flying ant colony are even greater.
And that says it all.
Luo Jun couldn't help laughing.
The companion had the embarrassment of being slapped in the face.
However, this guy immediately adjusted his mentality, and his tone was mixed with a hint of admiration: "Lao Luo, how can you hear what the ant colony wants to express?" ”
Luo Jun replied: "I breed ants at home, and I am sensitive to their language, although the sound of flying ants flapping their wings is indistinct, but the sense of rhythm is very similar to ......."
I'm not done.
It came to an abrupt end.
I saw a flying ant suddenly break away from the colony, swoop straight over, and land on his right shoulder.
The size of this flying ant is larger than that of ordinary flying ants, and the yellow patterns on the body surface are also denser, which obviously has a higher status in the ant colony.
Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, faintly realized something, and asked softly, "Do you want to go with me?" ”
The flying ant flapped its wings a few times.
Luo Jun smiled: "Okay! ”
The companion watched the communication between humans and ants, with a certain surprise in his eyes, but also some envy.
In his heart, he felt that this was a very spiritual picture.
Luo Jun activated the simple communication circle in the helmet and reported: "Captain Fan, we ......"
He quickly recounted the incident.
Captain Fan's reply was also full of sighs: "The sand ants in this world are really amazing. ”
Luo Jun agreed: "Yes, they are too smart. ”
Captain Fan decisively issued an order: "Since you are good at communicating with flying ants, you will be in charge of this in the future!" ”
He then added, "The swarm is about to land, so come back first." ”
Luo Jun hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”
*
Two hours later.
Dust storms are getting bigger.
The area where the outpost was located was completely engulfed in a sandstorm.
Luo Jun looked at the dark scene in the desert through the mirror image array, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really terrifying. ”
Although he had arrived in the Misty Sand Realm for more than half a month and had seen sandstorms more than once, he was still shocked by this scene.
The companion chimed in: "If we go out now, we will be directly exposed to the strong wind, and we will definitely be blown up in an instant." ”
Luo Jun glanced at it a few more times and changed the subject: "The above said that the sandstorm will last for several days, and the insect swarm is really cunning, so it is specially chosen to land at this time." ”
That's when it happened.
"Squeak!"
The flying ant that stopped on his shoulder suddenly screamed rapidly.
The companion asked curiously, "What's wrong with Xiaofei?" ”
The so-called "Xiaofei" is the name Luo Jun gave to this flying ant.
As you can see from the name, his naming level is quite bad.
Luo Jun came to his senses: "Could it be that the insect swarm has come?" ”
"Squeak!"
The flying ants chirped a few more times, and the rhythm was not as rapid as before.
This clearly means "definitely".
The companion was a little puzzled: "Since the swarm is here, why don't you notify it." ”
Two seconds passed.
"Woo~Woo~"
The terrible sound of sirens spread throughout the outpost at once.
The companion stood up suddenly, his expression extremely serious: "The swarm is really here!" ”
The guy turned his head to look at the flying ant and said in amazement: "This flying ant is really amazing." ”
Luo Jun said: "I have a hunch that Xiao Fei will definitely be able to help a lot. ”
"Smack!"
He patted his companion's shoulder: "Let's go, let's assemble!" ”
Not much.
More than one hundred and sixty warriors from the outpost gathered in the hall.
Everyone saw that the sand ant colony that had been warned before had reappeared at some point.
They all crawled onto one wall, swaying their tentacles.
In front of the crowd.
Captain Fan looked at the nervous faces and said calmly: "Everyone, the war has come. ”
The next moment.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
"Boom! Rumble! ”
The continuous thunder faintly came from the surface, the outpost shook slightly, and bits of dust fell from the roof.
There was an immediate commotion in the crowd.
Obviously.
This was the sound of the explosion of the Xuan soldiers.
It sounds as if the explosion had occurred at a great distance, but the slight impact on the outpost suggests that the explosion was very powerful.
Captain Fan frowned and shouted, "Silence! ”
The commotion immediately subsided.
Captain Fan looked around and said in a deep voice, "The battle may be very brutal, but we must withstand the ferocious swarm.
"Otherwise, our homeland will be attacked by the swarm, and our family and our people will be mercilessly slaughtered by the swarm."
The warriors' expressions became firm.
Captain Fan stretched out his hand and pointed at the sand ants, and his tone was raised: "The sand ants came out to warn them just now, and they know that the swarm is coming." ”
The lieutenant began to encourage morale: "The sand ants are the race that is most familiar with the desert, and with the help of these little things, the desert is our home field. ”
The warriors all nodded.
Luo Jun thought so.
He glanced at the flying ant on his shoulder, and the fear of battle in his heart diminished a lot.
*
Afar.
In the midst of the raging wind and sand.
Cheng Han looked at the big sand ant next to him and smiled: "You did a very good job!" ”
"Squeak! Chirping! ”
The big sand ant was praised and barked happily.
In fact.
The reason why Cheng Han made the ant colony do this is precisely to inspire the morale of the various Wanhao legions through this means.
As a brilliant commander, he is also an invincible general.
He understands very well how important it is to keep morale high.
