Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Tank Ant
When Wu Shiqu and others fell underground.
Fang Liangu had just entered the orange orchard, and she had only spoken a few words to Ding Xing when she was interrupted by Jian Xiao.
The two of them heard the movement and hurriedly flew into the air to check the incident.
Hunting the ironback locust earlier, a blank area with a radius of dozens of zhang was formed in the middle of the berry orchard, and Ding Xing and Fang Liangu were condescending, and they could see the situation there clearly.
The sword fell to the ground, shaking out a deep pit.
But seeing that in the pit, the ant colony was all over, dense, the number was incalculable, and the rustling sound was shocking.
Ding Xing took a look and found that there were a group of strangely shaped ant demons hidden in the ant colony, guarding a silver-horned giant ant carrying a wine tank, this giant ant did not know how many years of cultivation, and its physique was a little stronger than that of the iron-backed locust, and its demon power was also stronger.
Ding Xing couldn't help but guess: "Is this giant ant a wine thief? Or is it a demon slave of a wine thief, specially sent to the village to steal?"
Whether the giant ant was alone or on orders, the evidence of its theft was unequivocal.
The wine vat on its back is glittering with gold, and at first glance it looks like a wine tasting vessel, and it may be filled with golden dew.
Ding Xing was already sure at this time that this giant ant was a robber!
In the middle of the pit, there is an antway half knee-high.
One of the ant paths has always been aligned with the direction of Wujiao Mountain, and it is from here that the ant colony gushes out, and it is obvious that they are wine vats carried from Wujiao Mountain.
The other direction runs through the berry orchard, passes through the orange orchard of Ding Xing's house, and extends towards the outside of the village, but the mouth of this tunnel is blocked by a blue long sword, blocking the route of the ant colony out of the village.
The silver-horned giant ant was originally running away in the tunnel, but it was suddenly blocked by the blue long sword, and it hung down its head angrily and used its horns to hit the sword body fiercely.
Bang! Bang!
It slammed several times, but the sword did not move.
It spun around in a hurry, like an ant on a hot pan.
At this time, Wu Shiqu and others fell into the ant pile at the bottom of the pit with the landslide.
The silver-horned giant ant was trapped in the pit and couldn't get out, it was already furious, and when it suddenly heard the popularity, it immediately became bloodthirsty and crazy, don't look at it carrying a wine tank, but it didn't affect it to escape at all.
I saw it leap forward and rush into the crowd, Widow Willow was the closest to it, the first one was unlucky, the woman didn't even have time to scream, and her chest was pierced by a silver horn.
After the blood flowed, the ant colony went on a collective rampage, pounced on people when they saw them, and launched a hunting operation of ants devouring elephants.
It is also this group of Zhuang people who are unlucky, there happens to be a green devil ant demon in the ant colony, and when he sees people, he sprays poisonous mist, the pit is not big, several zhang square, more than a dozen people gather at the bottom of the pit, and all of them are hit.
The wails soon rang out.
The scene was truly tragic.
In the blink of an eye, the widow willow of the crystal orchard, the three servants of the berry orchard, and Meng Jiliang and his wife in the peach orchard have died one after another, turning into bloody bones.
The old man Wu Shiqu seemed insatiable when dividing the spoils of war, but at the moment of life and death, he showed extreme toughness, the moment he fell into the pit, he held up a grandson with one palm, and used his flesh and blood to protect the two descendants, and when the ant colony devoured his legs, he used the last trace of mana to throw the little Wu brothers out of the pit.
"Master!"
The two grandsons turned their heads and wanted to pounce back, and went to rescue Wu Shiqu, but saw that the silver-horned giant ant had already targeted their two fish that had slipped through the net, and rushed to the edge of the pit.
Call!
Ding Xing's short axe hit in time, and knocked the silver-horned giant ant to the bottom of the pit with one axe.
"Don't go down any further, run!"
When Ding Xing launched the rescue, he shouted loudly, signaling the Xiaowu brothers not to do stupid things.
But these two grandsons have no parents since they were young, and it was Wu Shiqu who raised them, depended on each other for their lives, and their feelings were very deep, and they were reluctant to leave with tears.
At this time, the Wu Shiqu at the bottom of the pit was already covered with ant colonies, only the head was still exposed to the air, he looked up at the little Wu brothers on the edge of the pit, and coldly shouted the last last words: "Fool, get out!"
By then, the ant colony had already flooded his face.
At the same time as he died, only Wu Shizong and Leng Erniang were still alive at the bottom of the pit, the two of them were bitten by the ant colony, as dense as a needle prick, the strong pain, and the blue devil ant venom in the place, so that both of them were on the verge of collapse, just rolling on the ground at the bottom of the pit, waving their arms and scratching.
If they were not rescued, they would have died.
Ding Xing sacrificed his axe into the pit, preparing to disperse the ant colony on the two of them.
Who knew that the silver-horned giant ant was quite intelligent, and it had suffered a loss from the short axe earlier, and it immediately came up with a countermeasure, seeing that the short axe had hit the bottom of the pit again, it suddenly shook its body, and the golden wine vat on its back was actually opened, and I don't know what was in the vat, emitting a stream of golden light, forming a beam of light to envelop the short axe.
Just take a light photo.
Whew!
The short axe turned into a stream of blood light and drilled into the wine vat, and Ding Xing lost his mental sense.
Ding Xing was dumbfounded, it was also strange that his magic weapon was taken away by a monster.
Fang Liangu next to her also saw this scene, and said worriedly: "Ding Gongzi, your magic axe has been suppressed, are there any other ways to deal with the ant demon, Erniang can't hold it anymore!"
She herself has no ability to save people, but she is worried about her righteous sister Leng Erniang, so she yells at Ding Xing for help, and she also becomes 'son' in title, and never mentions 'little drunkard'.
Ding Xing also has a spare magic weapon on his body, and he is glued with 'insect tears', which can still exert the power of the short axe.
But he didn't have time to renew the sacrificial vessels.
simply turned his heart sideways and flew out of the orange orchard: "You wait here, I'll save people." ”
There are so many villagers who have died today that their bones should not be used as food for the ant colony.
Ding Xing took out the wine jar full of 'worm tears', flew over the pit, and poured the wine down.
The silver-horned giant ant continued to hit the flying sword, and when it saw Ding wake up and make trouble again, it was not in a hurry, and opened the golden wine vat on its back, so the old trick was repeated, and the 'insect tears' reached the bottom of the pit, and all of them were sucked into the golden wine vat, and no wine spilled out.
At this moment, Ding Xing was really out of line.
He was worried that the silverhorned giant ant would attack him, and he turned around to run.
But he suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden thread in the pit, which was wrapped around the iron tongs of an ant demon.
This golden thread is clearly the little golden snake that Ding Xing sent out to explore the way earlier.
"Xiao Rou, entangle the two of them and fly out!"
When the little golden snake heard the call, it immediately broke away from the ant pincers, it was originally a demon body, and it got into the monster pile, and did not receive any attack, so that it could pass through the ant colony smoothly.
It turned into a golden wire to entangle Leng Erniang and Wu Shizong together, jumped into the air, jumped to the ground, was grabbed by Ding Xing, and flew back quickly.
On the way, I kept looking at the sky, it was dusk at this time, and Ding Xing couldn't use the 'paper soldiers under the moon'.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Why isn't it dark yet!"
