Chapter 169: Spirit Eater Ant
Gu Xiaozhao took a deep breath. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning, Bai Ling appeared in front of him, and because of the existence of the stone tablet, a similar warning arose in his heart.
In this way, the danger encountered by Fei Fei is comparable to that of that time.
Lifting his buttocks, no longer sitting on the ground, his legs bent, and maintaining a posture of exerting force, Gu Xiaozhao turned his head and glanced at Aunt Jian.
On Aunt Jian's face, Gu Xiaozhao couldn't see any clues, however, Aunt Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and her sitting posture became erect, not as relaxed as before, she should have felt something.
After a while, Aunt Jian turned her head and glanced at Mu Xiaosang.
Mu Xiaosang comprehended, put his hand on the long sword at his waist, stood up, and looked at Gu Xiaozhao condescendingly.
Without waiting for her to speak, Gu Xiaozhao stood up and pulled Tang Jin, who was beside him with an inexplicable expression.
On the other side, ten feet away, Wan Siwei's expression became agitated, and he stood up suddenly, his lips trembling very quickly, and the chanting of scriptures echoed in the nest like a mosquito.
"Get up, on alert!"
Kaohsiung, who was in charge of leading the runic warriors, shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a loud sound, like the special effect sound of a bullet in a gunfight movie.
I saw that the light mask above my head shook suddenly, and the luster dimmed, like a hurricane rushing across the surface of a lake, like a suspended glass struggling in the wind, only a little bit about to burst.
Gu Xiaozhao saw that there were some small things in the black wind.
The thing swept swiftly with the black wind, hitting the light mask head-on, that is, hitting the rune array under the Ten Thousand Four Dimensions head-on, and then, it was bounced away by the light mask, and roared away with the black wind.
However, this time it almost broke through the rune array of the four dimensions.
If this is just an accidental phenomenon, there is naturally nothing to worry about, but Gu Xiaozhao knows in his heart that this is most likely not an accidental phenomenon.
The next moment, he used the Inclusive Rivers Qi Detection Technique, and his thoughts drove the spiritual power, penetrating the light mask and drilling into the black wind.
Then, a tiny pebble-like object swept along with the black wind, far faster than the bullets could fly.
The thought was wrapped in spiritual power and went forward.
Gu Xiaozhao saw that it was an insect similar to a flying ant, its whole body was pitch black and shiny, mixed with the black wind, and the speed was so fast, with the naked eye alone, even a martial artist like him with extremely keen five senses could not see it at all.
Only with the mind to sense.
However, when the spiritual power and the flying ant met, they were empty, and they were swallowed by the flying ant in an instant, leaving Gu Xiaozhao's thoughts, and the strange thing was that Gu Xiaozhao could clearly sense the pleasure in the heart of that thing.
It feeds on spiritual power.
For this little guy, Gu Xiaozhao's spiritual power was a rare delicacy, so it changed its route in the black wind and rushed towards him straight along Gu Xiaozhao's thoughts.
"Soul Eater!"
Wan Siwei, who had always been unmoving, proud and self-assured, changed his complexion greatly, and he exclaimed suddenly, and stood up.
Soul Eaters.
As the name suggests, this is a kind of bird that specializes in devouring spiritual power and feeds on spiritual power, yes, although this soul eater ant is very small, which is the size of a baby's little thumb, it also belongs to the bird.
It just looks like an ant.
For the talisman, this soul eater ant is the enemy of life and death, after all, those guys feed on spiritual power, and once they encounter it, they will be entangled.
A single Soul Eater Ant is not a cause for concern, even if its body is harder than steel and its speed is comparable to lightning, not to mention the Talisman Master, even the Talisman Apprentice can deal with it, after all, the body of the Soul Eater Ant is also the material needed for the Talisman.
Like the Divine Talisman or the Lightning Talisman and the Soul Sucking Talisman, they all need the body of the Spirit Eater Ant, but more or less.
However, the Soul Eater Ants do not appear alone, they always come in groups, and they are led by the queen ant to move forward in a majestic way, and even those large beasts with innate combat power will choose to avoid them in their path.
Fortunately, the lifespan of these soul eaters is not long, and it is better than the mayflies that die in the twilight of life, basically, they can only survive for more than ten days.
The survival of a group depends on the energy of the queen ant.
As long as the queen ant can reproduce at or exceed the rate of death of the soul eater, the group will grow and gradually become a hegemon in the mountains, and all animals and plants with spiritual energy will be swept away by it.
After that, there is often no grass growing in the area within ten years, leaving only bare sand dunes and deserts.
The laws of heaven pay attention to the cycle of repetition, no matter how powerful the beast is, it also has a nemesis, and the soul devouring ant also has heaven and earth, which is a kind of bird called the golden-winged bird. It was the size of a pigeon, but it flew faster than the Soul Eater, and its sturdy torso was nothing to its long, pointed beak.
Once discovered by the Goldfinch Bird, the end of the Soul Eater Ant will come.
However, goldfinch birds are very rare, and it is very difficult to reproduce, and goldfinch birds also have natural predators, so it is very difficult to meet in the Hengduan Mountains.
Finding that it was the Spirit Devouring Ant coming with the black wind, Wan Siwei was a little flustered, he turned his head to stare at Tang Jin, and shouted loudly.
"The surname is Tang, what do you want to do?"
At this time, he blamed Tang Jin, forgetting that he had personally agreed to go to the sky.
"Me!"
Tang Jin was visibly flustered.
His experience told him that in the black wind, it was difficult for fierce beasts to haunt, so he chose a ray of heaven.
For humans, although the black wind is terrifying, it can find a way to avoid it.
He really didn't know that the Spirit Eater Ant could come with the black wind, and he knew that with this one, he wouldn't bring everyone in if he was killed.
Yes, Spirit Eaters feed on spiritual power, however, they also have times when they are hungry, and True Qi, which is converted from spiritual energy, can also be eaten.
Therefore, in the face of the swarms of soul devouring ants, the warrior was also worried in his heart.
There was once a martial artist who was devoured alive by the Spirit Devouring Ant, and in the end, he turned into a dried corpse.
"Whew!"
The whistling sound of the black wind was extremely sharp, but this sound stood out and broke into everyone's eardrums.
Immediately, the mask shook for a while.
Then, a small black dot appeared on the glazed light.
Gu Xiaozhao saw clearly, it was a spirit devouring ant lying on top of the light mask, you must know that the foundation of the rune array is spiritual power.
For most runes, the Soul Eater is a nemesis.
It's just that I've never heard of anyone raising soul eaters, and it is said that as long as the queen can subdue the soul eater ants, they can really subdue a group. It's just that no one can say how to subdue the queen ant.
Identifying the queen among thousands of soul eaters is already a chore.
The crowd stared at it with bated breath.
I saw that the black dot spread rapidly at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and not only that, but at the same time, there was a sound of sizzling from time to time, and there were many black dots lying on the mask, like white paper ignited by fire, and the black mass spread rapidly.
"Plum Blossom Array, stand by!"
Kaohsiung's shouts echoed in the canyon, and the faint and howling black wind stood in disarray.
The warriors in the rune immediately sprang into action, forming six squads with a team of three and posing in the shape of plum blossoms.
The center of the plum blossom is Wei Nan, two Ji warriors sandwiched him in the middle, one left and one right, Mr. Qin stood behind him with a feather fan, and Kaohsiung had already drawn out his horizontal knife and was in the center of the plum blossom array, responsible for commanding the runic warriors.
Naturally, Mu Xiaosang and the others were excluded from the formation.
Yi Weinan's idea was to protect Mu Xiaosang in the formation, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't want to disturb how Kaohsiung set up the formation.
can only let Mu Xiaosang and the others stay outside the plum blossom array.
Outside the array, there are still Wan Siwei and Tang Jin.
Wan Siwei didn't care about this, but he didn't continue to transmit spiritual power, but let the rune array slowly collapse under the bite of the spirit devouring ants.
Tang Jin's face was blank, and he muttered to himself.
As an adventurer, he has been in the Hengduan Mountains for decades, and he naturally knows how powerful the Spirit Eater Ant is.
What's more, there is also a black wind howling, and the Spirit Devouring Ants can come and go freely in the howling black wind, but human cultivators can't do it. In addition, the terrain of the first line of heaven is so narrow, it is difficult for a huge human to advance and retreat freely.
Finished!
A wry smile bloomed on Tang Jin's lips, in the past few decades, he has encountered a lot of life and death situations, either relying on his own struggle, or luck, in short, he survived, and now, he can't find a way out of the predicament.
"In a moment, follow me!"
Gu Xiaozhao looked back at Tang Jin.
Tang Jin looked at Gu Xiaozhao, the other party's expression was very calm, there was no fear, and there was no excitement, just like going to a teahouse to drink a cup of afternoon tea, somehow, seeing Gu Xiaozhao like this, his heart also settled.
Don Kim nodded.
Then, he stood up, bent on his waist, stepped on the ground with his feet in place, raised his head slightly, looked at the light mask above his head, held the scabbard in his left hand, pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand, and the blade was slightly unsheathed by three inches.
On the other side, Mu Xiaosang stood up, his waist straight, like a poplar tree soaring.
Even if he is facing a life-and-death situation, Mu Xiaosang is still majestic.
Compared with him, although Wei Nan's expression was calm, in fact, most of this calmness was faked, and from his flickering eyes, it could be seen that for him, the current situation was more or less unexpected to him.
There are more and more black spots on the light cover, densely packed, like moths and mosquitoes spread on the lampshade.
"Po ......"
There was a soft thud.
The light mask cracked, and all the glass light dissipated without a trace, and the black wind whistled and swept down in a hurry, followed by countless soul devouring ants.
"Kill!"
Kaohsiung roared.
In the plum blossom array, the runic warriors slashed out almost at the same time, and the sword qi surged out, forming a dazzling circle of light, forcing the black wind away.
Immediately, only a crackling sound was heard.
It was the sound of the Soul Eater Ants colliding on the blades, and the invisible things such as the Knife Qi or the Gang Evil could not have much effect on it, and only the sharp blades slashing on the torsos of those Soul Eaters could cause substantial damage.
The reason why these rune warriors still want to release their true qi is nothing more than to force the black wind away.
The plum blossom array blocked some of the soul eaters.
The other Spirit Devouring Ants rushed down towards Mu Xiaosang and the others and Wan Siwei on the other side, and the black wind was unstoppable.
