Chapter 127: Devourer on
The tail was frozen, and the already scarred scorpion had of course been frozen to death, turning into a faintly purple ice sculpture.
Freezing the entire scorpion in just a few seconds made Fan Wu even more wary of this purple fireball, and he definitely couldn't let it hit it directly.
It is not a problem to freeze to death a seriously injured scorpion, the key is that its freezing time is too fast, you must know that although the body of the scorpion is small, the tail and several pairs of arthropods are far away from the body, especially the double chela is longer than the body.
Such a body structure was completely frozen and turned into an ice sculpture in a few seconds, so you can imagine how fast the anteater's purple burns out.
And according to Fan Wu's previous contamination of that little bit of flame, this purple fire also has the property of adhesion, as long as it is sticky, it is almost impossible to get rid of, if it can't be extinguished with stronger force, you can only wait for it to burn out.
However, if it is hit head-on, waiting for it to burn is equivalent to waiting for death, so it must not collide with the fireball head-on until it has overwhelming strength.
Thinking of this, Fan Wu quickly retreated to open the distance, originally he was standing in the middle of the scorpion and the anteater, but after turning around, he turned sideways, so now retreating is equivalent to leaving two enemies at the same time.
The dead scorpion would not continue to pursue Fan Wu, but strangely enough, the anteater did not come in his direction, and instead went straight to the ice sculpture of the scorpion.
After Fan Wu withdrew a few meters, he found that the anteater was not chasing after him, so he also stopped to see what it was going to do, and of course he had to seize every opportunity to understand its characteristics and combat methods for the enemy.
The anteater ignored Fan Wu, who was standing a few meters away, walked to the frozen scorpion 1 meter away, stood steady on all fours, and then opened its mouth and silently spat out a tongue more than two meters long from its big mouth.
The long tongue rolled up the frozen scorpion at once, and then the tongue retracted and rolled the scorpion into the big mouth, chewed it with a click, and swallowed the scorpion into the stomach with a grunt after three or two clicks.
Fan Wu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this anteater to actually eat the corpse of his comrade-in-arms.
After the anteater swallowed the corpse of the scorpion, its body as large as a calf stood still, and its stomach squirmed violently, as if the scorpion had come to life in its belly and was turning over the river and the sea inside.
Fan Wu just watched, and did not disturb the anteater's movements, but withdrew his left leg slightly and was ready to run away at any time.
The scorpion, which had already manifested itself in reality, was swallowed into the stomach by the anteater and then became invisible again, and Fan Wu could only see the anteater's stomach rise and fall like a wave through the three-dimensional image.
The anteater's stomach squirmed for a while before it stopped, then turned to face Fan Wu, opening its big toad mouth under Fan Wu's wary gaze.
This time, although I couldn't see the formation process of the anteater's skills because of its invisibility, I could also see that the air fluctuations in the middle of its open mouth were very violent.
It was as if a whirlwind had formed inside the mouth, and then a little purple flame began to appear at the center of the whirlwind.
As the air fluctuates more intensely, the whirlwind gets faster and faster, and then the flames in the middle grow larger and larger until they grow to the size of a human head.
Then there was a roar, and a purple fireball the size of a human head came towards Fan Wu.
Fan Wu had already made a dodge move, and as soon as the fireball left his mouth, he retreated to the side, avoiding the straight line of the fireball's advance.
The first fireball just now let him know that the fireball attacks in a straight line, and the speed is not fast, as long as he avoids this straight line, he can avoid it smoothly.
Fan Wu's evasive action was very obvious, and the anteater saw it all, but it didn't have any nervous reaction, and calmly brewed a new fireball in its mouth that had not yet closed.
Fan Wu didn't expect this anteater to be able to send purple fireballs in a row, but for this kind of light that is powerful, but has no speed and no accurate head attack, Fan Wu is not worried at all, just to guard against whether it has other means of attack.
By the time the second fireball in the anteater's mouth was formed, the first fireball just now passed by Fan Wu 1 meter away, and the cold air on the fireball made Fan Wu shiver and get goosebumps.
The anteater fine-tuned the angle, and the second fireball was about to be released, but before it could be released, Fan Wu, who was just about to continue to move his position, suddenly felt a chill behind him that was even more chilling than when the fireball passed by just now.
It was too late to dodge left and right, Fan Wu jumped forward and rolled to the right with his strength, and a purple fireball the size of a human head passed by his back, igniting the clothes behind him.
Fan Wu felt a strong stinging pain coming from the place behind his back that had been injured by the scorpion, and then it turned into a burst of numbness, and then the whole back lost sensation.
Knowing that he must have been hit by another fireball, Fan Wu rolled on the ground and did not get up immediately, but pressed his back against the ground to extinguish the flames that adhered to it.
Fortunately, it was only rubbed a little, and although it almost burned the clothes behind it, it finally didn't stick too much to the skin, and it was extinguished after a single pressure.
Moreover, the anteater's purple flame is not a high-temperature flame, it does not burn the skin, it will neutralize the cold as long as the body warms up, and the clothes are also broken because they are pressed to the ground after being frozen, and they are not really burned.
Fan Wu, who rolled to the ground, wondered in his heart, why was there another fireball shooting from behind him, and the existence of the second anteater was not seen in the stereoscopic image?
Could it be that it was shot from outside the range of the image? At the moment, there seems to be only one explanation, but if it does, it will be troublesome.
Facing two fireball-breathing anteaters at the same time requires a lot of speed and agility from the body.
Although the anteater's movement and attack speed are not fast, but if there are more than two, then there is basically no fighting, within three there is still confidence to maneuver, four can only defend and escape, if there are more than five, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape.
After extinguishing the flames, Fan Wu was just about to get up when he noticed that another fireball was flying from the direction of the anteater, but he didn't know why it seemed that this fireball was half smaller than the two fireballs just now.
A purple fireball the size of half a human head flew towards Fan Wu on the ground, but no matter how big or small the fireball was, it was not fast, and Fan Wu rolled to the right again and easily dodged it.
The fireball hit the ground instantly, this time because it was close at hand, so Fan Wu could see it very clearly, and after the fireball hit the ground, it immediately rebounded and continued to fly towards Fan Wu.
But the bouncing fireball was reduced by half in size, only the size of a tennis ball, and although it still burned with purple flames, it didn't feel so threatening.
What's going on? Tracking the fireball?
Since the fireball has become smaller, it will be easier to dodge, Fan Wu quickly turned over and got up, and by the way, he avoided the fireball that had become smaller.
At this time, the third fireball sent by the anteater also arrived, and Fan Wu not only quickly avoided the fireball this time, but also took the time to punch the anteater*.
Because the distance was not far, the air fist hit the anteater's body in an instant, I don't know if it couldn't react or didn't think about avoiding it at all, the anteater ate this punch.
The fist hit the anteater in the back, and the explosive force exploded through it, blasting a large hole the size of two or three fists in the anteater's back.
The spine can already be seen from the outside, but it seems that it only hurts the muscles and does not hit any bones.
Fan Wugang was about to continue to make up another punch, but the third fireball that he had avoided circled around 1 meter away and then turned around and flew towards him again.
Fan Wu didn't bother to punch, and immediately avoided the fireball flying back again, and this time he could see clearly that the fireball was indeed continuously tracking.
Fan Wu instantly understood that it wasn't another anteater attacking him just now, it turned out that it had always been the same fireball.
If this is the case, the previous estimate of the strength comparison will be overturned, if it is just a straight line fireball attack, then there is no threat, unless it is surrounded by several anteaters at the same time, it is easy to fight or escape.
But if it's tracking the fireball, it's really too strong, not to mention 5 of such anteaters, even if 3 attack Fan Wu at the same time, they can only escape.
This kind of tracking fireball does not need to be besieged at all, as long as it is within the attack range of the anteater, it is always surrounded.
Because fireballs will automatically fly around according to the enemy's whereabouts, as long as there are more than three fireballs attacking at the same time, it is almost equivalent to a full-scale attack without dead ends.
Fan Wu thought while dodging, but this is very unscientific, if this is the case, as long as there are more than 5 anteaters, wouldn't they be invincible?
No, such a cheating existence should be unlikely, it must have its weaknesses, otherwise they would have become a superpower dominating the entire world, because there is no species that can compete with them, especially after numbers.
Fan Wu's brain was running at high speed to analyze the anteater's weakness, and after dodging it twice, he found that the second fireball had been completely extinguished and disappeared.
A thought flashed through his mind, as if he wanted to grab something, but was interrupted by a new fireball from the anteater.
It's already the fourth.
The first one had killed the scorpion, the second had been consumed, and the third had been consumed by more than half of it, becoming only half the size of a human head.
Although Fan Wu was hit several times in the process of dodging, this was all deliberately done by him, in order to adapt to the temperature above the purple fireball as soon as possible and slowly improve his ability to withstand it.
Now he was not in a hurry to kill the anteater, and when the third fireball was consumed, and the fourth fireball had been consumed to the size of a tennis ball, there was no new fireball again.
Fan Wu felt strange, and saw that the anteater's mouth had closed, and its body slowly retreated, as if it was about to retreat.
Of course, Fan Wu would not let it get his wish, and moved in the direction of the anteater while avoiding the fireball, keeping a distance of three or four meters from it, not far away.
