Chapter 52: The Nation Is Shattered
Although it is not included in the list of 36 kinds of rare beasts and insects, it is also one of the 72 kinds of inferior rare beasts and insects, and it is by no means a nameless person.
Xu Dao pinched the scarlet head of the Nanke mayfly, looked at the many restless swarms of ants around him, and guessed that their number should reach hundreds of thousands, millions, so he was more sure of the judgment in his heart.
The Nanke mayfly has two wonderful effects, one is the rapid reproduction and growth, as long as there is sufficient aura, grass and trees, it can be differentiated from the queen ant in one day and one night, and thousands of ant troops can grow.
The second is that this insect is vigorous, hermaphroditic, can differentiate water ants in water, fire ants in fire, and flying ants in the air, and can eat aura, yin, water, and fire...... There is almost no definite number, and it can adapt to various living environments in the world.
And the reason why this insect got its name is because of a "Biography of Nan Ke Taishou".
Legend has it that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Taoist who used this insect to ignite someone into the Tao, and he planted the eggs in the tree hole at the root of a large locust tree, and in an hour, the eggs hatched into the queen ant, multiplied and grown, and established an ant country, with a city palace, an ant people, and an ant army, which is no different from a small country in the mortal world.
Then the Taoist guided the souls of mortals into the ant kingdom and performed dream arts, so that the mortals were recruited as concubines in the ant kingdom, governed herdsmen, and served as the Taishou of Nanke County.
When he died in the dream, the mortal woke up and learned that the Huai'an country in the dream was just an ant country in a locust tree hole, and Nankejun was just a piece of dirt in the ant country.
The wealth and fame he pursued all his life, the chariots and horses, and the mansions were just a game among ants, grass roots and dirt.
From this, the man realized that the mortal life was just a snap of his fingers, so he quit drinking, turned to pursue the immortal way, and happily followed the Taoist to the mountain to practice.
The mortal in the story is called Chun Yudi, and he has achieved success in the later way, and he has proved that ghosts and immortals can be reincarnated and immortal, which is far from being comparable to a hundred years of life.
The insects used by the Taoists are also called "Nanke mayflies", which are among the insects of heaven and earth.
Xu Dao grabbed this worm, and his eyes were immediately happy, if he refined it into a Yin Gu, as an incarnation outside the body, it would definitely be of great use!
In the joy, Xu Dao thought about the wonders of the Nanke mayfly, and suddenly thought:
"The ants are not very afraid of evil spirits...... Could it be that there is a bad aura here?"
According to the records in the Taoist book, after the birth of the Nanke mayfly, it has no attributes, and it will change according to the place, and it will become strong and powerful when it is active in the masculine land, and it will become eerie and strange when it survives in the evil land.
And the group of Nanke mayflies in front of them grew up in the white-haired wind cave, and they should have long adapted to the yin wind and evil qi, and they could barely be afraid of evil qi, perhaps they had been in contact with it.
Realizing this, Xu Dao's eyes brightened.
It is said that although he knows something about alien insects, he only knows about it from Taoist books, and he is not familiar with it.
There are one hundred and eight species of strange beasts and insects in the world, and he only knows a few dozen in total, and most of them only know a name.
The reason why I happened to know Nanke Grasshopper was because after Xu Dao got the "Three Corpses Sacrifice Technique", he deliberately read the corresponding snake and insect books.
Xu Dao pondered: "If this insect is not afraid of evil qi after being exposed to evil qi, then it is really amazing!"
Faintly, he guessed that this was probably the reason, and was slightly staggered because of this.
Nanke mayfly is only one of the inferior rare beasts and insects, it can have such ability, I don't know how amazing it should be for other rare beasts and insects, and the superior among them!
After Xu Dao stopped his reverie, he lowered his head and searched the huge ant nest again, he saw if the Nanke mayfly still left the prince and grandson.
What Xu Dao didn't know was that although the Nanke mayfly could reproduce and differentiate into thousands of ant people, it was difficult to differentiate into a new group, and there were no princes and grandchildren at all.
Ordinary ants can also fly by marriage or swarms, constantly generating new populations.
Throughout his life, an ant king can only split himself three or four times, and the king does not see the king, and the old king and the new king cannot coexist.
Therefore, if it is not for the ethnic crisis, the Nanke mayfly will generally not be greatly damaged to give birth to offspring.
As for the ants other than the ant king, they are just slave tools. And as soon as the ant king died, the whole family was shattered.
Xu Dao rummaged in the broken ant nest again and again, but finally did not see the ants like the ant king again, so he let go of this thought.
At this time, the ants in the entire passage were surrounding him, and they were in large numbers, and they were still returning to gather troops and fight him together.
Xu Dao also frowned when he saw this.
There are so many ants, hundreds and thousands of them are unintentional, and 100,000 words and 100,000 are not to be feared, but at the million, tens of millions level, grinding can also grind his body protection spell.
If it is at the level of ten thousand, Xu Dao can only take the best policy.
But the aura here is so strong that he is reluctant to leave, and even if he leaves, the ant king is caught by him, and the ants will always chase and kill him.
For today's plan, Xu Dao can only quickly refine the ant king in his hand, and when the refining is successful, he may be able to control the remaining ant colony.
Immediately, Xu Dao sat down cross-legged.
He was besieged by countless ant people, and he had the audacity to refine the ant king, treating the entire ant clan as nothing.
The ant king was pinched in his hand by Xu Dao, although his surface was white and fat, but his temperament was bursting. This insect struggled desperately, desperately trying to bite Xu Dao.
And Xu Dao didn't care about it, just reviewed the content of "Three Corpses Sacrifice Technique", and carefully divided his thoughts with two hearts, preparing to occupy the body of the ant king.
But something surprising happened, Xu Dao's thoughts entered the ant king's body, and this ant actually conveyed a resolute resistance emotion, just like a human!
Xu Dao stopped at the right time and changed to a slow picture.
But the Ant King struggled even harder, and his arrogant nature seemed to never allow himself to be reduced to slavery.
Xu Dao didn't think about taking it as a slave, but this insect has a good spirit, and he can't completely develop his body and occupy his body.
For a time, the two were at a stalemate.
Realizing that this object was quite spiritual, Xu Dao's heart moved, and he began to follow the temptation, and sent out his thoughts, so that the ant king could take care of the entire race.
As soon as this thought came out, the strength of the Ant King's struggle really became smaller, and gradually stopped. Just as Xu Dao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the ants around him went crazy and crashed into him desperately.
Buzz! There was a loud sand in the passage.
Xu Dao's face changed slightly.
The ants surrounding him fell layer by layer, and nearly 100,000 ants died with every breath, rapidly wearing away his protective aura.
Xu Dao looked down at the ant king in his hand, and found that he was curled up, and the thoughts that came out were only unruly.
This thing is no more than three inches long, white and fat like rice, with a mouth and no teeth, wings useless, no scales and no armor, and it can also do the act of "rather for the jade to be broken than for the tile".
Xu Dao's eyes narrowed slightly for a while, he showed a sneer, no longer caring about the ant king in his hand, but closed his eyes to maintain the spell to prevent being injured by the other party's ant army.
In the rustle, a swarm of ants pounced on him like a stream of water, but in the end they all broke like waves crashing on the reef, and all of them passed in vain.
I don't know how much breath has passed, Xu Dao's face is pale, and his aura is unstable.
The ant corpses around him were all over the ground, and a thick layer was covered, like snow, and the number was even more innumerable.
Finally, the grasshopper was killed and wounded, and the flag died down.
Xu Dao silently opened his palm, and in his palm, the breath of the ant king's body had long been gone, and there was a ball of dead things.
But after a while, the three-inch shell trembled again, and out of it came a delicate white worm.
