Black-footed cats, small cats that often live in the desert Gobi region, are named because of the all-black fur on the paws of their feet that can be insulated from high temperatures.

Despite its small size, it is extremely lethal, and is known as the 'killing machine' of the desert, and belongs to one of the most forbidden creatures in the world.

It can hunt creatures that are more than 4 times his size, with a hunting success rate of up to 60%, which is the most feline creatures, 3 times that of tigers and lions and other creatures, and can hunt 10~14 prey in one night, and its appetite is as strong as its desire to kill.

With such a strong species, it is not surprising that it can obtain the passive of the king of the cat family after being alienated, and the evaluation of the leader-level creature alone can see the strength of this big cat.

Coupled with the fur with high flame resistance, this guy is indeed very suitable for Xu Yue's mount, and it can be seen that Her Majesty the Queen Ant has indeed put a lot of effort into this matter.

"Very good mount."

Reaching out and stroking the furry forehead of the big cat in front of him, Xu Yue could clearly see a look of obedience under the eyes of the wild beast.

The queen ant's mind manipulation ability is truly strong, retaining her aggressiveness while making this wild and unruly creature submissive.

"But it's not fierce enough, since it's war, then I need a stronger mount to deter."

As the words fell, a gluttonous phantom quickly appeared behind him, and then slammed into the big cat that couldn't dodge.

As the gluttony entered the body, the black-footed cat's body suddenly stiffened, and the original amber beast pupils turned gray after a while, as if it had lost all its soul.

At the same time, the queen grunted deep underground and opened her slightly closed eyes, and the distraction she had used to manipulate the black-footed cat was destroyed, and the final image was a giant mouth of the abyss.

"It seems that the means of my ally are really endless, but the stronger the better, the sea god can ......"

The murmur in the hall of the ant nest slowly dissipated, and the changes on the plains had only just begun.

In the next second when the black-footed cat's pupils turned gray, a terrifying and ferocious aura began to gradually diffuse, and in the center of the gray pupils, a little red blood light like carbon lit up and quickly expanded.

The big cat, which was originally lying on its stomach, suddenly stood up, and with a strange 'squeak' sound, its whole body was twisted and deformed, its fur rolled, and its bones protruded.

As if some monster was about to burst out of the black-footed cat's body, under the somewhat terrifying gaze of the torturer, the already strong body of the big cat rose up again.

The black fur grows rapidly until it covers the entire body; The limbs are thickened and wide, and the claws are clanging; The two spiral horns on the top of the head drill bloody flesh and rise upward; A pair of long eyebrows on the forehead are curly, and the tiger eyes under it are narrow and long; The corners of the snout are cleft, and the fangs are exposed; In the abyssal mouth of the black hole, the sharp teeth are as dense as saws......

In just a moment, the original black and yellow markinged beast disappeared, and what appeared in its turn was a hideous beast with a black body.

"Roar!!

The evil beast roared angrily in the sky, accompanied by a violent roar, and the ferocious and vicious aura from the four ancient murderers suddenly expanded, causing the Xuanjia army behind to ripple layer by layer.

"General, what is this?"

Forcibly suppressing the unconsciously surging sense of horror in his heart, Torture avoided the pair of red beast pupils, and turned his head to look at the general with an indifferent expression on his side.

"War beasts, gluttony."

After succinctly replying to the horrific question, Xu Yue jumped up and landed steadily on the back of the evil beast in front of him, which was faintly bigger than Zhi Xuanjun.

As a soul body, if you want to act as a mount in the real world, the existence of the material carrier is indispensable, and the quality of the carrier cannot be too low.

After the transformation of the gluttonous mount, in addition to the charm value dropped to 3 points, other attributes and skills have been improved to varying degrees, and there are even two more special abilities called 'gluttony' and 'abyssal devouring', the former can induce gluttony, and the latter is to swallow nothing.

After checking the introduction of gluttonous attributes, Xu Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then the halberd in his hand swept sideways, and a cold sound of slaughter instantly spread throughout the entire army.

"The whole army is open, the group hunt has arrived, hunt all the food along the way, kill!"

When the words fell, the rumbling muffled thunder resounded throughout the foot of Hongyan Mountain, the earth trembled, a large amount of smoke and dust rose, Xu Yue led the army to rush ahead, and behind him was the endless black tide, rushing outward, at the same time, the legions on the east and west sides of the foot of the mountain also began to advance synchronously.

From above, the smoke and dust of the three roads on the plain, more than 100 meters wide, swept and spread, rushing out along different routes.

In the sky, several drones in hidden places overlooked the black ant tide that was rapidly spreading outward on the plain, and their faces were a little ugly.

"Sir, the ant clan seems to have started the group hunt in advance, and there is that damn human, what should I do?"

"I'm not blind, it's only five days before the Seagod Calamity, how can the ant clan advance so much?"

"But since they're turned on early, we have to react too."

"There is a high probability that the human has no chance to assassinate today, Black Velvet, you immediately return to the hive to report to the queen bee, the ant clan has launched a group hunt in advance, our clan just lost a large army yesterday, the ant clan's current abnormal movement is definitely ill-intentioned, you need to beware that they will directly invade our territory after the group hunt is over, after all, this Poseidon disaster is likely to be the last, and the past covenant is no longer credible."

"Yes!"

The order was given, and a drone covered in black fluff broke away from the group and flew away quickly into the distance.

In place, the leading drone looked at the two subordinates behind him and said in a deep voice:

"You follow the ant armies on the east and west sides, pay attention to their marching routes, and if you notice any signs of drifting towards the hive, return to report immediately, and as for the human team, I will follow."

"Yes!"

…………

Although the mysterious island is an island, its geographical area is comparable to a small landmass, during which mountains, lakes, hills, plains and other landforms are mixed and intertwined, of course, the most extensive area is the large green forest.

After all, there are no humans here who like to cut down forests and build cities, and even if they are leaf-cutting ant colonies that need vegetation, they only take branches and leaves, and do not hurt the main trunk, and in the absence of human damage, these vast forests are still quite stable on the whole.

But this is only in normal times, and once the hunt begins, it is often the dense jungle that hides so many creatures that suffers first.

"Boom, boom, boom........."

The sound of thunderous footsteps accompanied by the roar of the collapse of the giant tree resounded on the earth, and from the air, I saw that the lush forest that had been peaceful in the past had been surrounded by a flood of black tide at this time, and it was constantly encroaching, and between the black tide, the green that represented vitality was submerged inch by inch.

The dense forest was full of wild beasts running in panic, and the frightened roaring gasps, at this moment, whether they were strong or not, whether they were natural enemies or not, it was meaningless.

They are mixed together and running endlessly, the instinct to survive has taken over all the thoughts, and whether or not they can stay away from the spreading black tide behind them has become the only criterion for survival.

"Damn, what the hell are those, isn't it only the fourth day today, how can the difficulty of the trial be pulled to this level!"

Above the fleeing beast tide, in the branches of the staggered dense forest, a series of figures flickered, they were all contractors from the same adventure group, and they completed the assembly through some kind of props on the second day of arriving at the mysterious island, and the original plan was to survive this survival trial together by huddling together to complement each other.

But they obviously underestimated the difficulty of this trial, and in the face of the overwhelming ant tide army, they were more likely to be wiped out by a wave after gathering the crowd.

In the face of such a force comparable to a natural disaster, cooperation is meaningless, and whether you can run fast enough is the measure of survival.

Among the people fleeing for their lives, a male contractor with an emerald green longbow frequently looked back into the distance, and after seeing the scale of the Kuroshio behind him, his already bloodless face became even paler.

"Boss, it's getting closer and closer, it's not a way to run like this."

"Damn, this number is not possible to fight at all, before coming to this broken island, I never thought that one day I would be chased by a swarm of ants and escaped."

Slightly hurried words came out of the longbow contractor's mouth, and although he complained, the pace of his escape did not diminish in the slightest.

As soon as the words fell, a thick man's voice also came from the front.

"It's better to save some effort than to speak, now there is no other way than to run, there are still two kilometers to leave the forest, as long as you get to the plains, there are these beasts under your feet to block, you should be able to open the distance, speed up, now hard fight is a death."

"Also, Lao Zhong, hurry up and take off your heavy armor, you can't run away with it, it's important to save your life."

Behind everyone, a stout man in all-black heavy armor had a red face, different from the dexterous leaping posture of others, his movements were extremely rough and brutal, every time he jumped up, the huge reaction force would make an explosion under his feet, and then the thick branches that were torn by the giant force would fall from a high place, randomly hitting several lucky spectators below.

It was obvious that he was very unaccustomed to this route of running between the branches, but the dense herd of beasts on the ground left him with no choice.

And even though this violent leap seemed powerful, the heavy armor inevitably slowed him down, leaving him at the back of the line, and tending to fall further and further behind.

Listening to the advice coming from the front, the lord of the team looked puzzled, he had abandoned his shield not long ago, and if he lost his armor again, even if he survived this time, he would only survive after that.

But the cruel reality is always good at falling into the well, feeling the roar of the approaching behind, and the screams or two that rang out from time to time, after he scolded angrily, he still raised his hand to tear off the arm armor of his right arm, and smashed it behind him.

There are far more contractors hidden in this dense forest, and if they continue to delay, sooner or later the dying wails in the rear will have his share.

"Gan, the purple heavy armor of labor, TMD, I hate this damn space blockade!"

…………

In the rear, Xu Yue, who was riding a gluttonous horse, was still at the front of the ant tide, and after getting used to the battle mode of the knight charge in the Dragon Valley world, he had always maintained this strategy of leading the way forward.

His body fluctuated slightly as the mount ran, but it was always as steady as Mount Tai, and with the kinetic energy generated by the charge, he stabbed forward with the long halberd in his hand, colliding head-on with a giant wolverine that took the initiative to pounce, the sharp halberd blade and the gray-black tough fur of the attack.

Although the flesh is not deep, the kinetic energy of the wolverine's forward pounce is obviously not comparable to Xu Yue's long-accumulated momentum, the tip of the halberd accurately pressed against the wolverine's throat, and then pressed it back to the ground, its back touched the ground, and it began to be dragged by the halberd all the way.

In the process of dragging, the hard claws popped out of the wolverine's forefoot, scratching on the halberd's body, splashing a little spark, and the strong reaction force was transmitted to the silver arm that was clenched through the halberd, but it was as motionless as a mud cow entering the sea, and the halberd in his hand did not move.

After a few breaths, the tip of the halberd penetrated the flesh and blood of the fur inch by inch, until the spine of the steel was completely shattered, and the strength of the wolverine's struggle disappeared in an instant, blood foam gushed from the corners of the mouth, and the pupils became gray.

Lifting the wolverine hanging on the halberd, Xu Yue's arm trembled slightly, and the halberd in his hand shook suddenly, and then the giant beast that was pierced by the halberd blade suddenly split apart, turning into several stumps flying everywhere.

The escaping blood mist exploded in the air and fell in a sprinkled manner, but before it could touch Xu Yue's body surface, it was completely evaporated by the blazing fire that lingered around him.

The long halberd stretched forward was retracted, and his right hand swung horizontally, the halberd blade tore through the air and let out a scream, and all the creatures within a few meters on the right side were immediately shattered into a sky of blood mist and flesh.

Along the way, except for the wolverine, which was known as the first beast of the weasel family, which held two more moves in his hands, the rest of the creatures were all crushed at the touch of a button.

In the midst of the scarlet, the gluttony under his seat let out an excited roar, and with the exaggerated inhalation sound, the surrounding blood mist and flesh foam were sucked into the nose cavity by it, and it swallowed it completely.

Then the gluttonous head hung down, still maintaining a high-speed charge, the spiral horns above its head suddenly turned into two knight spears, and the alien creatures that stood in the way were cleanly pierced by the horns, and finally as it suddenly raised its head, the corpses hanging high on the horns were also thrown backwards, falling into the black ant tide that followed closely behind and were trampled into mud.

After throwing away the weight on the sheep's horns, the gluttonous abyssal giant mouth cracked, and attacked the left and right sides one after another, just a few breaths, five giant beasts of different shapes from the waist up, the upper body and the head all disappeared, only the remaining half of the mutilated body stood, and before it had time to fall, it was directly shattered by a wielding halberd.

The thick blood mist that had just bloomed was torn apart by the howling wind, and a man and a beast leaped out of the blood mist, and behind them was an endless black frenzy, and on the left and right were endless wails of despair.

This is the group hunting, where the ants pass, all along the way, the life is extinct, the legion is only responsible for destruction, as for those broken corpses, the military workers in their own rear are collected, and finally all are sent back to the ant nest.

The terrifying chewing sound of the gluttony under it was still slowly echoing, the scarlet saliva dripping from between its teeth, locked in the mental space for so long, this was the first time it tasted the deliciousness of flesh and blood, and the sweet taste made its heart's gluttonous desire rise and rise, and the red light in its eyes grew.

Compared to the excitement of his own mount, although Xu Yue's eyes were also full of evil, his heart was calm, he could be regarded as a battle-hardened person, and the desire to kill on the battlefield was no longer enough to shake his heart.

The halberd in his hand slashed horizontally, and the hurricane accompanied by the blood mist swept through, and after once again smashing several beasts in front of him, he lightly touched the tip of the halberd on the ground.

Although it was only a touch of a button, the vibration of the earth had been transmitted from the halberd body to his mind in an instant, allowing him to quickly construct the overall situation of the entire dense forest battlefield, even if there was no psychic communication, but under the feedback of the vibration perception, the strangulation pace of the Xuanjia Legion was always firmly controlled by him.
