Chapter 106: Ant Colony
Ye Ting didn't understand why Xiao Bai was frightened, but then his Taixu Divine Mirror saw a clearer picture, it was an ant the size of a war horse, and the Taixu Divine Mirror stared at it for more than ten breaths before correcting the true realm of this demon beast.
It was a monster beast equivalent to a human foundation cultivator, and the number was even more staggering, there were thousands of giant ants crawling outside the skull alone!
Yu Yangzi's face was solemn, and he said to Ye Ting: "Do you still want to go?"
"Go. Ye Ting replied firmly, there was no innate Hongmeng Qi in the bones of this Hongmeng giant beast, but there was another reaction in his Taixu Divine Mirror, there must be a treasure in it, and it was quite important to him.
"Insect monsters, there are few such strong ones. Xiao Bai said to Ye Ting: "No matter what you are for, it is not worth risking your life. Can you beat tens of thousands of foundation building demon beasts?"
Xiao Bai actually cared about his own safety? Ye Ting felt incredible.
"My gut feeling is that there is no better chance until you reach your destination. It's something that's important to me, and I'm going to have to get my hands on it. ”
Nagarjuna firmly followed behind Ye Ting, insects and monsters, even if they were not in this world, were not too terrible to her, as long as she didn't attack, she could use her demonic energy to avoid danger.
"Whoever kills belongs to whom. Xiao Bai couldn't help but say, of course she refused to go with Ye Ting, and then it was all Ye Ting's.
"Well, if I want your help, you'll definitely have a share. "Ye Ting didn't think about swallowing it alone, the insect monster group is strong, and the number is a trouble, if Yu Yangzi and Xiao Baiken help, it can reduce a lot of risks.
"I have a share too. Nagarjuna couldn't help but speak.
"What can you do?" Xiao Bai frowned, her senses for Nagarjuna couldn't be better, Nagarjuna was a shapeshifting demon, it was no secret to her.
"You see, it's still three miles away. Nagarjuna motioned for everyone to stop, then spat on the ground.
Beauty fragrant spit, originally a word coined by a hungry ghost in the color of mortals, but in the eyes of the three of them, the scene of Nagarjuna's red lips spitting on the ground is indeed extremely fragrant. Her snow-white neck bent slightly, the corners of her mouth were moist, and a pair of eyes were swirling, even causing the three of them to fluctuate.
Monster!
The sword pill in Xiao Bai's dantian let out a humming sound, calming down the true qi.
Nagarjuna raised his head and looked at Yuyangzi, who stepped back and summoned Xiao Bai at the same time. Xiao Bai followed Yuyangzi back more than ten zhang, and had already seen the group of huge ants in the distance rushing wildly, Nagarjuna pulled Ye Ting back, giving up a distance of ten zhang, and admired Yuyangzi in his heart.
Yu Yangzi had definitely never seen this kind of demon beast, but he could judge the perception range of the giant ant.
Yes, the perception range of this thing is about seven or eight zhang away, and ten zhang is a safe distance. There were about two hundred giant ants in front of them, and they didn't pay attention to the dragon tree and Ye Ting ten zhang away, but pounced on the little saliva on the ground.
Watching the swarm of ants compete for that little saliva, Yu Yangzi and Xiao Bai were also dumbfounded. In the years when Nagarjuna did not transform into shape, just by secreting a little special juice, it was able to attract countless insects and even demon beasts to her face.
As for the consequences of eating the juice she secreted? More than 200 giant ants had already staggered, and most of them had fallen asleep.
Nagarjuna stepped forward, took away the short spear, pulled out the hairpin, and stabbed it backwards in the gap in the carapace behind the giant ant's head, ending the life of the giant ant.
Nagarjuna drew a circle on the ground with his finger and said, "These are all mine, aren't they?"
Ye Tingwei was not curious about how Nagarjuna attracted these giant ants, but that although such a big giant ant was competing, there were still some rules, and almost every giant ant could suck one or two mouthfuls of Nagarjuna's saliva.
The three of them couldn't refute it, Nagarjuna alone solved more than two hundred giant ants, this is equivalent to a demon beast in the foundation realm, or an insect species, looking at the heavy carapace with a metallic luster, you can know how strong the defense is.
Nagarjuna was proud, his figure drifted sideways, and he spat a mouthful of spit a hundred zhang away, and said to Ye Ting: "Let's solve this for Childe." ”
Then she came back and stabbed the giant ants to death with her hairpin, all in her sleeve. Even Yu Yangzi didn't see anything, only that she had sent the giant ant into the ring.
These are not soldier ants, just worker ants, which are of slightly lower value to monks, but Nagarjuna has its own usefulness. She has the talent to enslave other demon clans, and the realm of the big demon can also control four kinds. The cultivation value of this giant ant is not small, even if her realm does not grow, she can control the smallest group, there are almost seven or eight hundred worker ants, close to two hundred soldier ants.
She had to follow Ye Ting into the ant nest and get an unhatched egg, which she could catalyze into the queen.
Nagarjuna didn't want Ye Ting to beg people everywhere to kill the Zi Clan, if there were thousands of giant ants, it would be almost enough.
In the strange space of Nagarjuna, a small nest was split. The carcasses of these worker ants are sent into the nest and quickly dissolved, and those carapaces that cannot be dissolved are thrown back into the demonic space.
The corpses dissolved, forming a honey-like substance that congealed on the floor of the nest. Nagarjuna herself doesn't eat people, but she cultivates enslaved monsters, so she won't be taboo at all.
Yu Yangzi and Xiao Bai were a little dumbfounded, Nagarjuna and Ye Ting didn't have to take any risks at all, they just harvested the giant ants here. They are not greedy, but if they do it slowly, they will waste a lot of time.
"Nagarjuna, why are there only more than two hundred monsters at a time?" Xiao Bai couldn't help but ask.
Nagarjuna stabbed the giant ant to death and replied, "Because the bait I released convinces the worker ants that only more than two hundred are enough, they are different from other monsters, and they use the wisdom of the crowd. ”
"Wisdom of the crowd?"
"A single giant ant, with extremely low intelligence, more than a hundred, will be able to think in a complex way. There are at least tens of thousands of giant ants in the anthill in the bones of the giant beast, and their movements are precise and accurate, and they will not waste any strength. ”
Xiao Bai and Yu Yangzi can only admire, this is a specialization in the art industry, and they can't be envious.
"If the number of worker ants lost is too large, it will attract soldier ants, and the perception range of soldier ants is very large, more than one mile, and if it is in a swarm, it can even reach more than ten miles. Let's be ready to fight, the ant will only attack the target, and will not eat anything outside the nest, not even the most delicious thing. ”
"I just hope the soldier ants will come soon. Yuyangzi held the giant sword in his hand and looked at the bones of the Hongmeng giant beast in the distance. He also has some common sense understanding of insects, such as the proportion of soldier ants among ants, which is a little more than 10% of the number of the population, and the most outrageous is 20%.
If there are very few dead worker ants, the soldier ants will be dispatched, which means that the number of soldier ants is also limited. If the soldier ants only appear after tens of thousands of worker ants have died, then the ant colony in the bones of the Hongmeng giant beast is a terrible number.
Nagarjuna constantly spits out saliva, attracting worker ants to come, and then stabbing them to death one by one.
Yu Yangzi and Xiao Bai's faces became heavier and heavier, because more than two thousand worker ants had been killed, and there was still no trace of soldier ants. Soldier ants do not feed outside their nests, they will only be fed by worker ants inside their nests. The bait method does not work against soldier ants, and can only be killed.
Ye Ting was happy, such a huge ant colony lived in the bones of the Hongmeng giant beast, but I am afraid that it would not work by going out to forage for food, there must be something in the bones to attract the ant colony to live here.
As for the risk, the soul of this giant ant is weak, and the power of divine consciousness is still in a state of networking, and the amount that can be solved by asking the sin and slashing it down with a sword is very considerable.
If it's a group of rat demons, then it's a big trouble.
The ground was full of worker ant beetles left behind after Ye Ting burned them with flames, and these beetles were like broken dragonfly wings, leaving only veins remaining.
Nagarjuna's absorption of worker ant carcasses was saturated, and the nests that had split into her strange space were filled with nutrients, enough to raise a small colony.
Xiao Bai's face was gloomy, and he was helping Ye Ting collect the remaining materials of the worker ants. Who made her Ye Ting's friend?
Of course, in the process of collecting materials, she can easily study the body structure of these giant ants and where their weaknesses are. Although the structure of the soldier ant will be more complex and the defense will be stronger, there is no difference between the fatal point.
If it weren't for this reason, Ye Ting would have asked her to be a coolie collecting materials, and she would definitely smack Ye Ting's face.
Yu Yangzi also divided the corpses of the two giant ants, and did not do anything again. Xiao Bai also stopped suddenly, and in the nest three miles away, hundreds of soldier ants formed a team and rushed towards Ye Ting's side.
The running speed of the soldier ants is almost four or five times that of the worker ants, which is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that dozens of soldier ants came out in the end, and they actually gave birth to wings behind their backs, making a sharp air vibration sound, and flew with the soldiers on the ground.
Those flying soldier ants were far apart, and when their wings vibrate, there was a visible airflow vibration around their bodies, and the cutting force was like the sword qi of sword cultivation.
If this monster has natural powers, it will definitely release an attack like sword energy, and the lethality will never be small.
If the size of the worker ants is only a dwarf horse, the size of these soldier ants is a strong war horse, with a sharp giant jaw and a black appearance, with natural demon patterns on it, and the sharpness is probably not inferior to Fu Bao.
Yuyangzi's divine sense swept over, and he already knew that the fatal points on the bodies of these soldier ants were all covered with heavy carapaces. These carapaces grow up layer by layer, and each layer has a natural demon pattern, just like the armor on one's own body.
But his own set of armor is a magic weapon that the sect spent thousands of years to create, and there are only two sets in the entire Moon Sword Sect, and the materials are difficult to find.
Yu Yangzi suddenly regretted a little, why did he let Ye Ting attack this ant colony. This kind of material is of little significance to a lone monk, but for the sect, it can improve the overall strength of the sect. R1152
