Chapter 17: The Queen's Abilities
While Ji Yao rushed forward, he also tried to control the rock wall on the retreat path of the four blazing ants, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and the refinement of the control was reduced a lot.
Moreover, the four blazing ants activated the skills of the Burning Body, and the heat of their bodies, combined with their body construction, which specialized in digging, quickly dug a new passage in the blocking rock wall!
Tonino Harvey also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately followed Ji Yao's pace and said to Ji Yao.
"Second brother, can you guarantee the authentic sound transmission effect? It's like a microphone talking, I say that, you understand, right? ”
Chi Yao understood what Tonino Harvey wanted to do, and stretched out his counter-luck to point to the rock wall on his side, controlling the earth element to close all the tunnels within his control, forming a perfect closed passage.
Ji Yao said.
"I see, but I can only try to make sure that the nearby tunnels are closed, and you can try your best."
Tonino Harvey nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, rolled his hands up to his mouth, and compared to the previous "big horn type", this time the shape is more like a "cylindrical microphone type".
In the previous battle, he tried to combine a variety of treble frequencies that he commonly used, but the results were not good, and Tonino Harvey felt that he needed to try other frequencies, and as soon as he thought about it, Tonino Harvey's eyes were a little firmer.
Buzz————
A deep voice came from Tonino Harvey's mouth, and under his control, the sound wave rotated and propagated forward in the closed tunnel, and in this layered back and forth refraction, the power of the sound wave did not decrease, but increased a lot.
The speed of the sound naturally far exceeded the speed of Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey, and it also far exceeded the speed of the four blazing ants, and in less than a second, Tonino Harvey's deep sound wave caught up with the blazing ants!
Rumble!!!
The sonic hit the four blazing ants accurately, and Tonino Harvey seemed to have better luck, the frequency of the sonic attack he used this time seemed to hit the weakness of the blazing ants, and the four blazing ants instantly froze, and their trembling claws could no longer support their bodies, and they were directly spread flat on the ground.
Tonino Harvey was thrilled to see this.
"Second brother, I succeeded! I've found the weakness of this fiery ant, it's the bass! ”
Ji Yao responded to Tonino Harvey's enthusiasm with a smile and suggested.
"I think this flaming ant is an evolved species, we might call it a fiery ant, how about it?"
Tonino Harvey touched his chin and walked over to the four blazing ants paralyzed on the ground, and nodded as he looked at the other party's completely different body shape from ordinary fiery ants.
"Okay, you're right, since you discovered it first, let's call it a blazing ant, right?"
Looking at Tonino Harvey's relieved appearance, Chi Yao made a look with a deep face and reminded in a heavy tone.
"Big brother, this kind of blazing ant is the first time we have discovered it, which means that in the two months since the fire red ant appeared, in this unknown depth, they have gradually evolved!"
"God knows how many more of these fiery ants will be in the burrows of the nest? There will even be fiery red ants that have evolved to a higher level! ”
"We must rush to the nest as soon as possible and stop this before things get irreparable!"
The scene that Ji Yao depicted made Tonino Harvey shudder and mutter.
"Yes, in just two months, the fire ants have undergone this evolution, if you give them more time, what kind of monsters will they become?"
Tonino Harvey immediately realized what serious consequences would be if the high-level fire ants were to eliminate even the weakness of sound waves, and there was no hope of solving it.
Seeing that Tonino Harvey was lost in thought, Chi Yao immediately replenished the four paralyzed blazing ants, and by the way, he took the reverse luck back to the storage space.
Because he suppressed his luck and accumulated luck, a total of twenty blazing ants only dropped five blue treasure chests, which is not unacceptable, at least much better than someone who only dropped one treasure chest with ten monsters.
By the way, Ji Yao brought back Johns's team who was hiding behind the intersection of the cave before, and Tonino Harvey quickly calmed down, and everyone prepared to continue their departure.
When the members of Johns's team arrived, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the earth-shaking terrain changes that occurred along the way because of the battle between the two, and became more and more in awe of the strength of Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey.
At Chi Yao's suggestion, everyone chose to follow the path of those blazing ants in reverse.
This time, Jack's ability to bomb the mine was not exerted, he was quite depressed, and couldn't help but turn around his head and asked suspiciously.
"Why do you want to go here?"
Ji Yao glanced at Jack, who was full of confusion, and Babbitt and the others, who were also curious, and explained.
"The flaming ant is an ant-like creature, and according to common sense, there must be a queen ant in the colony, who is responsible for laying eggs and can give orders to the colony."
"I suspect that the queen ant has a high degree of control over the colony, and can even sense all the fire ants."
"And this blazing ant team was sent by the queen ant to investigate the situation, as for what to investigate?"
"Naturally, it is to investigate the disappearance of the fire red ants in the outer area, that is, the fire red ants we killed along the way."
Hearing this, Babbitt frowned and spoke.
"This doesn't sound reasonable, ant colonies rely on tentacle touch and pheromone communication, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you said something about this"
Ji Yao smiled helplessly.
"Somewhat whimsical? Hey, don't be funny, this is the depths of the Yuanyang Stone vein, and it is normal for the abilities of fire red ants to be different from those of ordinary ants. ”
Babbitt was stunned and realized that he had walked into a dead end of thinking, and now the fire red ants can breathe fire, is this still comparable to ordinary ant colonies?
"Yes, you have a point." Barbitt nodded and said no more.
Next, Chi Yao and the others continued to move forward, but the strange thing was that as everyone went deeper, the traces of the fiery red ants seemed to disappear, and after encountering the team of twenty fiery ants, everyone never encountered any fiery ants and fiery red ants!
After walking some distance, the group had reached a depth of 1,000 meters.
Chi Yao looked at the sweltering holes around him that were empty and illuminated by Yuanyang Stone, and his steps paused, and he had some bad guesses in his heart.
Tonino Harvey noticed Ji Yao's anomaly and stepped forward and asked.
"Second brother, what's wrong? Did you find anything? ”
Ji Yao swept around the range of perception, but still didn't find any abnormality, he hesitated a little, but finally said.
"No, it's nothing, judging by the surroundings and temperature, we're not far from the center of the nest, be more careful."
"The queen is likely to gather all the colonies in the center of the nest and wait for our 'visit'."
Tonino Harvey frowned and couldn't help but say.
"You're saying that the queen ant sensed our danger and chose to gather all her forces together to protect herself?"
Ji Yao shook his head, spread his hands in front of him, and said.
"It's just a guess, it's still the best-case scenario."
Tonino Harvey raised his eyebrows and asked with some puzzlement.
"The best-case scenario? What about the worst-case scenario? ”
The second more.
Guarding a successful day with full attendance! Ahem,By the way,The plot of going down to the mine will end in two chapters almost tomorrow.,There's probably 3~4 chapters like this in the plot of the Kingdom of Tyria.。
