Chapter 82: The Ant Game (Part II)

As a Jindan, I already have the realm of the unity of heaven and earth, and the physical body can self-regulate according to the feng shui in which I am located, and I am not afraid of external cold and summer epidemics. In extreme environments, the loss can also be minimized, and the ubiquitous (even if thin) heaven and earth aura can be exhaled to maintain a glimmer of vitality

- This golden-bodied skin is also the basis for me to survive in the sarcophagus for half a year without eating a drop of water - the price is only the consumption of a year and a half of life.

But the black and white bear can't do this, no matter how strong his vitality is, after all, it is also in the realm of mortal things. To survive on a harsh desert island is all based on his unreasonable physique and a little cultivation of Neidan martial arts.

However, no matter how powerful the internal strength is, the creature can only resist the environment in vain and eventually wear out, instead of adapting to the environment and integrating into the environment like the golden pill of heaven and earth. It is always better to go against the sky than to follow the sky, which is one of the basic principles of cultivation.

"What have you eaten for half a year?" I asked.

The black and white bear is an omnivorous spirit animal, with a vegetarian diet, a sweet tooth, and when food is scarce, it will catch fish (but sometimes fish bones will get stuck in the throat of this idiot) and pound worm nests, and do not eat meat and snake meat - half a year outside the cave is really a bit bitter for him, Murong Zhi did not prepare food for him, and he was self-reliant.

"Dig an ant's nest. I'm going to dig dozens of ant nests in one meal. When I was guarding my master, Ishizuka, I first went around the mountain and smashed all the ant nests near the mountain, and then I was very sad to find that there was no food left. So I began to go around in circles, running to the mountains a mile away to dig up, so that the circle became smaller and smaller, and I would never worry about food shortages. Praise for it!"

His sparkling eyes flickered.

- Well, Fengmeng can't take pills yet, and he has to find river fish and a large number of ants to fill his stomach, and there is not a single bamboo forest in Baiyun Township.

The black and white bear followed behind me, and I searched along the stream, grabbing the live river fish straight out with my Tai Chi touching hand and throwing them into the basket woven by Fengmeng.

Jindan's eyes could see the snail tentacles and mosquito eyelashes within thirty paces, and I saw a snake's unnatural movement in the hidden grass,β€”β€” ants carrying the dead snake.

An endless stream of black lines is slowly wriggling.

If you broaden your horizon and descend to the level close to the ants, you will find that the vast ant army with a strong queue is resolutely advancing towards a certain target in the distance, despite all difficulties.

The black ant army has its own phalanx and formations with different functions, some are responsible for logistics, some are responsible for sentinels, and some are responsible for flanks - the most powerful is the Chinese army, the ants of the Chinese army are three times larger than those ordinary ants, and the ant army is also divided into elite and miscellaneous soldiers like humans.

Busy herald ants connect with each other, methodically uniting the army.

Before I cultivated the Golden Pill, I didn't have the feeling of small things, but now I have come into contact with a new magical world.

"Ah, the master's luck is so good, you can find countless ants just by looking around. Feng Meng drooled, "Master, do you know that ants also secrete slightly sweet honey-juice, and if you fry them on a hot pan, the syrup will be fried." ”

- He was wrong, but it was actually the result of my keen senses, and it had nothing to do with luck.

"You're going to use fire too?" I asked.

"Well, it's not difficult to learn from Crimson! After living for eighteen years, why didn't I think of it at all?"

β€”β€”That is the accumulation of wisdom of our ancestors for dozens of generations, and it is not something that a bear without inheritance can come up with by the way.

The ant army joined up with the large army in the open field 3,000 paces away, and stopped stationing.

The wide grass was dyed into a green screen separated by countless black lines, which were a phalanx of ants that did not move like a mountain.

At the end of the meadow are rolling mounds, the highest of which is three people high. I also played with ants in Guangling City before I was five years old, and there were about 1,000 ants in a litter (that's how I counted them when I was young). Judging by my eyes, there are millions of black ants here, which means a thousand nests of ants united.

- This is not an ordinary thing, usually bugs also have their own territory, what is the big deal to unite the ants of their own divisions?

The more I watched, the more stunned I became, and the more I thought about it.

Feng Meng grinned, grabbed a phalanx of ants with the soil and chewed it, and a shallow pit immediately appeared on the ground. This was a small disaster for the ants, and immediately an extra basin appeared in front of the subsequent phalanx, and there was a brief confusion in a large camp of the ant army. Soon, however, several herald ants arrived at the changing landscape.

I smelled a peculiar smell emanating from the antennae of the herald's head.

Subsequently, the phalanx adjusted its position and detoured from both sides of the pit, followed by a team of logistic ants loaded with clods of earth to level the pit.

I secretly admired, and took to heart the smell of the herald ants, which was a flag-like signal. On a whim, I used Xiao Wuxiang Gong to analyze the signal, although it was a bit complicated, but it was just a composite of the five qi. I roughly understand the principle.

At this time, the black and white bear had nearly disintegrated more than a dozen ant formations, of course, this was only an insignificant wave for the endless ant army.

- It was Feng Meng himself who had the accident.

He destroys like a crazy child (originally a bear), but his actions are too unscrupulous to attract the attention of the ant army, and hundreds of ant soldiers get his body on his body from all directions. I smelled the signal from the starting ant, which means "destroy the black and white bear".

Feng Meng hurriedly slapped the ant soldiers on top of him, and at first he was able to shake the ants off with the force of the concussion alone. Unfortunately, more ant soldiers were not afraid of death, and one after another, clinging to the flesh on the bear's skin, and crawling up its lumbar spine, back, neck, and even ears and nose in the forest of black and white hair.

"Itchy, itchy!"

Feng Meng danced inexplicably in a frenzy, and it was the acid secreted by the ant soldiers that stimulated his flesh. He was too itchy to pat off the ants with his hands, and the ants were so embedded in the flesh that they would never be able to get rid of them unless he tried to peel off a layer of skin on the surface.

"No, save me, master! I don't eat ants anymore. I don't want to die, I never thought I'd die. I'm so cute! How could I die!"

- Alas, isn't it good to practice your internal skills as early as possible? Although you can't really rotate like Zhuji, so that "a fly can't add to your body", if you can use "Jue" to hide your qi, the ant soldiers will climb you like a simple tree.

If you know today, why bother in the first place!

I've always tried to save Fengmeng, but it's a bit late to use the usual methods, and the vanguard of the ant soldiers is literally crawling through his ears.

"I had to give it a try. ”

I used Xiao Wuxianggong to simulate the smell of the herald ant's order, and pointed at Fengmeng's temples with two fingers.

One breath, two breaths...... Ants streamed out of Fengmeng's ear holes, and the ant soldiers who followed them also retreated against the path of climbing the black and white bear's head.

"Yawn!"

Feng Meng sneezed fiercely, and sent the ant soldiers who retreated from their nostrils mixed in the yellow thick liquid and sent them out directly.

Ten breaths later, the ant soldiers all left his body, and I grabbed his furry collar and jumped onto a tall tree before the next wave of ant soldiers could attack.

- The signal I simulated just now was "Quickly retreat".

"How many is this?" I gestured to the black and white bear with a number.

"Two!"

- Thankfully, the brain didn't get stupid.

"Let's eat fish tonight. I stroked Feng Meng's head.

"Master, you want to teach me more in-depth physical training in the future, I ...... I don't want to be bullied by ants again!" Feng Meng pleaded with a handful of snot and tears.

- Sure enough, it is the grinding of life and death that can educate people (or bears?).

"Yes. ”

I will teach you the trick of good luck just as Wang Qinian taught me back then.

The ant army seems to have discovered Fengmeng's new position, and more than a dozen columns of ant soldiers have caught up with our tall trees.

Although they are not the man-eating ants mentioned in the "Naturalist", they are indeed creatures with perseverance and perseverance.

However, I have been claustrophobic in the sarcophagus for half a year, and it is not in vain that I have not delayed the years.

I fully understood the relationship between thoughts and qi.

My fingernails drew a line around the trunk of the tree we were perched on.

As soon as the ant touched the line, it fluttered and fell down the tree. In half an hour, ant mounds were piled up under the tall trees that could reach people's ankles. The ants no longer have any intention of climbing the tree, and a white field is automatically vacated under the tree, and the ant army bypasses us from a distance.

The stunned black and white bear asked,

"What kind of spell is this, what kind of spell is this!"

"Well, I can't say it, it's just a mixture of thoughts and qi, a kind of self-discovery. ”

- Attached to that line is the breath of "killing" that I have, and for ants, it is like a line of death like a flame barrier.

This is one of the many valuable experiences I have gained in six months on the verge of life and death when my six senses have been cut off.

Those who use spells regard the physical body purely as an offering to the Yin God, as long as the strong physical body energy continues to nourish more and stronger thoughts with vitality.

And the so-called martial will of a martial artist is essentially a mixture of qi and thoughts. Jindan martial arts combine thoughts and qi, and every punch thrown by the martial artist is a punch full of thoughts. The union of the Yin God and the physical body is realized in harmony in the martial arts.

Having had two kinds of practical experience, I suddenly became enlightened when I was in retreat.

The so-called martial arts and spells are just the difference between the guest and the host of the mind and the qi. No matter which side is abandoned, it cannot be called a complete cultivator.

"Water for you. Drink it directly, it won't have diarrhea. ”

I handed Feng Meng a skin bag of water, which I had drawn from the stream, and I could now see with my naked eye tiny insects that I had not been able to detect before. I shook the skin a few times with great speed, and the insects disintegrated before handing it over to him, saving him the need to boil water.

- I am determined to take care of every living creature that follows me, and only by losing can I teach others to cherish it.

The Black Ant Army stopped, assembled, and reorganized in front of the hill, and the herald ants issued one order after another to adjust the queue. There are many more ant armies coming from afar, and it seems that the ants of the whole island are coming to participate in some once-in-a-lifetime feast.

My gaze was on the other side of the hill.

As expected, and unreasonable, I saw an endless army of ants, the number of which I estimated to be two or three hundred thousand, that is, two or three hundred nests of ants.

Similarly, a steady stream of ant armies came from afar.

However, it was the Red Ant Army, and each red ant was on average twice as large as the black ant.

I took a deep breath, and I saw that there was only one place in the world where ants were red.

That's the ant in my Falling Star Cave.

With the opening of the cave to the residents of Baiyun Township, the red ants in the cave also flowed outside the island. Of course, red ants are just ordinary harmless ants, but they're a little bigger than the ants on the groundβ€”they used to be ants in the stars of the sky.

It's just that, in the world of ants, it's a big deal - a war to decide which ant clan will rule the island, and it's about to break out.

Either the black ant wins and maintains the hegemony of Baiyun Township, or the new red ant wins and becomes the new owner of the island.

Thousands of queen lords on both sides have banded together for this massive goal.

It was as magnificent as the struggle of human beings in the world, and I had a sense of exhilaration, as well as a sense of comical absurdity.

"In seven days, the ant clan will have a decisive battle. There will be a tentative battle of the vanguard tonight. ”

I say.

I used Xiao Wuxiang Gong to study the scent signals of the Black Ant Army in a few hours, and their tactics are like candles in my eyes.

If I wanted, it would take a few more hours to understand the scent signal of the Red Ant Army.

"The rise and fall of the ages are all laughed at, and a glass of turbid wine is drunk. ”

It's just that I don't even care about the rise and fall of human dynasties, and I don't know about the emperors and generals of the ancients.

However, I found that Feng Meng was looking at the ants on the ground with great enthusiasm.

"Can you see every ant on the ground as clearly as I do?"

I asked Fengmeng.

"But, but I can grasp the general situation of the army, a fool. I don't know why, but for the first time in my life, I was so excited, and I wanted to shout just by looking at the dense red and black lines. Is this really a once-in-a-lifetime ant war?"

"Then you can report to me once a day on the battle of the ants. I'm going to start cultivating, remember to guard my physical body when I went out of my body for a while. Grill your own fish, and be careful not to burn my flesh. ”

The new cultivation plan I made for myself was to refine the Yin God at night and the martial arts during the day. When you have the ability to control the snake guard's continuous flight to a higher level, you can leave the island and go to the Central Plains.

Murong Zhi has been away from Baiyun Township for half a year, she has the white dolphin as a mount, and it doesn't take a year to reach the Central Plains alone with Jin Dan's ability. It's useless to chase it now, and I'm going to find a way to get rid of my delusions before we meet next time, and I succeed once. Until that day, we didn't have the time to meet.

"Of course, I've learned the art of making a fire from Crimson. If the master hangs up, I'll die too, I promise to remember it firmly. ”

"I've entrusted it to you. ”

I patted him on the shoulder, and the yin spirit went out of his body to start a new round of cultivation.

Night completely covered the island, and the war of ants began.
