Chapter 313: Anthill
More than 100,000 or 200,000 silver iron ants were killed from late night until dawn, and all the corpses were in sight.
When the last twenty or thirty thousand were killed, they began to retreat.
That's right, they retreated rather than fleeing, some of the silver iron ants stayed behind, and the rest took the opportunity to burrow into the snow and evacuate the battlefield.
"Big brother, do you want me to follow and destroy them all?" Dagu watched in the air in the direction of their movements.
"No, I'm going to pound their nest. The Ice Sword in Chen Ling's hand turned into a burst of aura, and the two silver iron ants running on the Ice Sword fell to the ground.
Chen Ling came to their side.
The long-term and high-intensity battle overdrew their physical strength and aura one by one, and they were all injured, some people's legs were bitten off a muscle by the silver iron ants, and some people's hands were broken by the silver iron ants to break a muscle, which looked as if they had been cut by a knife, and the wounds were deep and bone-insighted.
But this time, none of them fell to the ground, and they all chose to stand on the snow with difficulty.
They gasped for air, always on the lookout for the next wave of attacks.
"You go to the tree to heal your wounds first, and then come down and dig out their elven treasure diamonds, there are more than 100,000 of them here, enough for you to keep busy." Chen Ling said.
"Where are you going?" asked Mo Chunjiao.
"I'm going to meet the queen ant. Chen Ling said to Da Gu: "Da Gu, you stay and guard them, I'm leaving." ”
"Stay safe. Mo Chunjiao and Yiren said at the same time.
Chen Ling glanced at her twice, then turned around and chased in the direction of the antpack's retreat.
The bulge caused by the withdrawal of twenty or thirty thousand silver iron ants on the ground was very obvious, and Chen Ling chased after them all the way. In less than ten minutes, they came to a devastated hill.
This hill is quite high. It is half the height of a coniferous tree. The area is even larger, estimated to be several thousand square meters.
This hill is the nest of this colony of silver iron ants.
Chen Ling saw the evacuated twenty or thirty thousand silver iron ants pouring into a huge cave in front of the hill.
Because they just came out of the nest, there were no guards guarding the entrance of the anthill at this time, and they didn't seem to want to guard the door in a hurry.
Chen Ling turned into a phantmy and rushed into the anthill.
The passage inside the cave is very wide, several times wider than the road of the ancient city of Taihuang, dry and tidy, it is not interesting and messy, if it were not for its winding and criss-crossing Chen Ling would definitely mistakenly think that this is a kingdom established by humans.
There was a faint light inside the cave, and that was because the walls of the cave were inlaid with many glowing ores.
Chen Ling continued to observe the anthill by the faint light as he walked along the passage of the anthill.
The hill at the top is not inhabited by ants. The wind that flows down from above makes the air in the nest circulate smoothly, and there is even a special ventilation duct made of earth that extends into the bottomless underground, so that the underground can maintain a good ventilation environment.
It seems that the hill above is used to ventilate the anthill.
Chen Ling walked down the incomparably wide passage, the winding passage led in all directions, the entire underground anthill was as complex as a labyrinth, and when he walked here, he felt like a small ant.
Chen Ling was walking when there was movement underground, and he stopped.
A group of silver iron ants below are clustering a winged insect dozens or hundreds of times larger than them and running up, that should be the queen ant, right?
At the front was the group of thirty-fifth-order silver iron ants that had withdrawn. The group of silver iron ants surrounding the queen ant was even bigger and stronger, with a strength of the fortieth order. And the queen ant, who was so huge that it didn't look like the same species in the middle, had an astonishing forty-fifth order strength.
The forty-fifth order should be the highest-level spirit beast in the Ice Realm, and according to the rules of the world, the more you go to the world, the stronger the strength of the spirit beast will be, because the spiritual energy is gathered in the middle of the super and flocks to the upper realm.
The place where they are now should be far, far away from the center of the Primordial Realm, and there are actually forty-fifth-order spirit beasts here, and this queen ant can definitely be regarded as the strongest spirit beast here.
Perhaps the most fortunate thing for other spirit beasts and human warriors is that the queen ant never leaves the burrow unless there are special circumstances, and has little direct impact on the life around her, and their only job is to continuously breed more silver iron ants.
The queen ant came up from the almost bottomless burrow surrounded by the only remaining silver iron ants, Chen Ling was worried that he would be discovered, and it would be extremely disadvantageous for him to have a battle in their lair, especially the strength of the forty-fifth order of the queen ant may not be something he could deal with for a while, and he couldn't use it at all if he was confined to their familiar anthill.
Chen Lingfei left the anthill and looked condescendingly at everything below from a tall coniferous tree.
Soon a few of the weakest worker ants came out of the anthill hole, they didn't seem to notice the smell left by Chen Ling, but touched the sun in the sky with their tentacles for a while, determined the direction and returned to the cave, and after a while, all twenty or thirty thousand worker ants crawled out.
One of these worker ants went to the front to explore the way, and the other part lay on the mouth of the anthill and began to gnaw at the anthill, biting an already very large hole even bigger.
After the entrance of the cave was big enough, about 50,000 guard ants of rank 40 strength crawled out of the cave surrounded by the queen ants.
Chen Ling finally saw the queen ant clearly.
It was very large, like a silver iron ant magnified dozens or hundreds of times, but its body was black, like the dark black of the sky where it lived, and this pitch-black color made it look even harder and stronger.
Its giant jaws are larger and more powerful, its limbs are more developed and stronger, and the most special thing is its abdomen, which is very bulging, like giving birth to countless small ants at any time, and has a sharp black hard thorn at the end of the abdomen, which looks like it is poisonous.
The queen ant is able to fly, it has two pairs of transparent wings, and it looks so thin that it doesn't seem to be able to support its huge body for flight, but ...... For a spirit beast with a powerful forty-fifth-order strength, anything that seemed impossible could be a surprise.
But the queen ant is obviously very lazy, and even though she has her own wings and can fly freely, her huge body still has to be carried forward by the guard ants.
Of course, the guard ants also feel that this is what they should do.
Chen Ling continued to observe their movements.
The guard ants did not leave immediately after all the ants crawled out of the nest, but waited at the entrance of the cave for a while.
The worker ants who had gone to explore the path came back, and they exchanged information with the guard ants with their antennae, and the guard ants got the direction information from the worker ants and immediately swarmed the queen and left.
The 20,000 or 30,000 worker ants did not follow, but all entered the anthill and took out all the eggs that had not yet hatched from the nursery of the anthill, and then followed closely.
When they entered, Chen Ling originally wanted to release a big move to blow up the anthill and bury the twenty or thirty thousand silver iron ants inside, but after thinking about it, he would lose twenty or thirty thousand elven treasure diamonds, which was not cost-effective.
So we waited until they were all out before we took action. (To be continued......)
