"Hmph. ”

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ji Chengyu's complexion changed, and as soon as the mana on his body rose, he wanted to fly up, but before he could really float, he was immediately dragged by Ji Ran with one hand: "No! They will fly too! If you fly, you may not be able to get rid of them, but you may attract iron fire ants!"

The Yi family brothers and sisters originally planned to control the light and fly out of the encirclement of these giant sand mites and big ladybugs, but when they heard this, they could only take shape and stay in place.

"Level 5...... No, only seven is only level five, and the others are all above level six. Dealing with two sixth-level ones under the lower level is already the limit. Yi Feng stared at the giant sand mites around him with an ugly face, and the big ladybug whispered.

At this time, Yi Xiu'er and Ji Chengyu's state is obviously not very good at fighting, the two of them can work together to deal with those fifth-level giant sand beetles and big ladybugs, so the remaining seven or eight sixth-level giant sandworms and big ladybugs are to be handed over to Ji Ran and Mo Chong?

"Smack. Bang bang bang. ”

There was a soft sound. The giant sand mites and ladybugs around them suddenly fell down at the same time, and a yellow-brown, oily carapace on their backs revealed their translucent, thin wings like cicada wings underneath. Then, the beetles screamed in their mouths, quickly flipped their wings, and circled around Mo Chong and the others. Caused a burst of sand and dust to roll.

"Mo Daoyou, what do you suggest?" Ji Ran looked at Mo Chong with an ugly face. If Mo Chong couldn't come up with any good way, even if he would attract iron fire ants, he would only be able to escape by controlling the light. It's better than sitting still. The giant sand mites and ladybugs around them made the sand and dust billowing and moving fast, and there was no way to accurately grasp their location. Not to mention the hand attack.

Mo Chong had experience dealing with giant sand mites and large ladybugs. Although now there are more of these giant sand mites big ladybugs than last time. The level is also higher. However, Mo Chong's own cultivation strength has also improved a lot compared to the beginning, so he didn't worry too much. Hearing Ji Ran's words at this time, Mo Chong said lightly: "Fellow Daoists, don't be impatient, trap them first." ”

After speaking, the mana on Mo Chong's body rose, and the four fingers and thumb of his right hand were clasped into a circle, brought to his mouth, and suddenly his cheeks bulged. Blow hard. A large stream of bright red flames was immediately blown out by the ink rush, like a blooming fire lotus.

Fire Burning. This trick was exactly the last time Mo Chong used to deal with the giant sand mite ladybug. Although the fire fire technique is more mana-intensive, it is better to fight quickly if there are iron fire ants nearby, otherwise it will alarm these demon insects, and it will inevitably take a lot of effort.

"Whoa, whoa. ”

There was a soft sound. Wherever the flames erupted from Mo Chong went, the sand was immediately melted and condensed into colorful glass crystals. The grains of sand that were lifted up were melted into droplets. Bit by bit sprinkled on the ground. The giant sand mites and ladybugs fluttering around them were trapped in the glass crystals made of sand. However, compared to the last time, this time the giant sand mite ladybug has just been trapped. Under the struggle, the glass crystals made of sand began to crack. Obviously, these glass crystals can't trap them for long.

"Do it! Punch spells and magic weapons through their mouthparts!" Mo Chong shouted. As the cheer came out, the Fire Phoenix Sword first stabbed at the mouthparts of one of the largest giant sand mite ladybugs.

The rest of the people were stunned by Mo Chong's magical means, and when they heard this, they reacted and immediately took action. At this time, the giant sand mites and big ladybugs had not yet broken free, at best, they could only wave their claws, but in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen giant sand mites and big ladybugs had already died under the attack of everyone, and they could no longer be arrogant.

"Whew. This time, thanks to Mo Daoyou. Ji Ran exhaled lightly and said with a smile.

"It's just a fluke that I've dealt with these demon insects ......"

Mo Chong smiled, but halfway through his words, his face suddenly changed and he didn't say any more. When everyone saw Mo Chong's expression, they couldn't help but look nervous. What's going on!? Mo Chong didn't show too much panic when so many giant sand mites and big ladybugs attacked just now, but at this time he showed such an expression, no wonder everyone was nervous.

"Mo Daoyou, what's ......?"

Ji Ran opened his mouth in disbelief, but halfway through his words, his face immediately changed. Though he had not yet seen it, he had heard it. A shrill humming sound came from the sky behind everyone. After a short while, I saw a large area of black and red, only one or two inches long, but the number of flying ants was overwhelming, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, pressing towards the place where a few people were.

"Iron fire ants!" Ji Ran only felt bitter in his mouth. I was scared and walked cautiously for a long time, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still didn't escape the ears and eyes of these demon insects.

"We ...... Why don't we leave yet!?" Ji Chengyu looked at the overwhelming iron fire ants, and his voice trembled a little. Fourth, fifth, and sixth levels, although the aura of these insects and beasts is not very strong, but there are so many of them, if they are entangled, it will be extremely difficult to get out.

Ji Ran shook his head and said, "Can't ...... No, it doesn't. Iron fire ants are very aggressive, and rash action will only provoke them to attack in groups. ...... now" Speaking of this, Ji Ran looked at Mo Chong. Naturally, I wanted to hear Mo Chong's advice. The rest of the people immediately looked at Mo Chong. However, at this time, Mo Chong looked at the iron fire ants in the distance, and he didn't know whether he didn't hear Ji Ran's words, or he didn't want to pay attention to it, so he just kept silent.

“...... At the moment, we can only wait and see what happens. Ji Ran sighed. Although he couldn't get an answer from Mo Chong, he was also slightly relieved to see Mo Chong's shocked expression.

At this time, watching the iron fire ants flying in, Mo Chong thought of his own Wan Jun worm. If you had raised it with your own care, you would have left it to this day, and the number of Wanjun insects would only be so much. Although the Worm can't fly, if the Iron Fire Ant wants to pounce and attack, it will never be the opponent of the Worm. Pity. He only has a dozen insect seeds in his hands now, and he can't take them out to fight.

"There is a way below! In the hands of the next, there are a few green fire thunders and various talismans, and there should be some in the hands of fellow Daoists. We'll throw these talismans and the like out at once, attract the attention of these demon insects, and block their senses, and then we'll take the opportunity to escape!" Yi Feng said in a deep voice at this time.

"Absolutely not. "This time. Mo Chong finally heard it. Speak immediately without waiting for others to speak.

"It's still in the heart of the desert. There must be other monsters around. Let's not talk about whether you can get rid of the iron fire ants and fly away with all your might, which will only attract the attention of more demon beasts. When the time comes, under the front and back attacks, I don't know how to die. ”

Yi Feng's face changed, but he also knew that what Mo Chong said was reasonable, so he didn't open his mouth to refute it. Ji Ran said: "But ...... right now"

Mo Chong shook his head and said, "Don't worry." The smell of the dead giant sand mite and the big ladybug attracts them even more. There are so many giant sand mite ladybug corpses here, which is almost enough for these iron fire ants to eat. According to the experience below, after the insects and beasts are full. It will be less aggressive, and we won't be too late to go. ”

Ji Chengyu said in a trembling voice: "But...... We're staying here, what if they crawl over?"

Mo Chong said lightly: "Bear with it." Oh yes. Bugs are usually sensitive to smells, and if you kill one of them, the smell from its corpse will spur other companions into a frenzy of attacking you. So be careful. ”

After Mo Chong finished speaking, the vanguard of the Iron Fire Ants had already arrived. Under the slight change in everyone's complexion, they could only keep their mouths shut one after another, looking at their noses and noses. Like a wooden man, the pestle stood still.

"Smack. Crackling, crackling. ”

There was a scrambled soft sound. The overwhelming iron fire ants fell like raindrops, making a soft sound like rain hitting fallen leaves. As Mo Chong said, most of these iron fire ants were attracted by the dead giant sand mites and ladybugs as soon as they fell. A small number of iron fire ants that fell on the heads of the people and crawled between their bodies and clothes.

Mo Chong was okay, he had rolled around in the pile of worms before, and this was not the first time he had felt this way. The others did not have Mo Chong's experience, and everyone was pale. Yi Feng's sister Yi Xiu'er was almost crying. Fortunately, as the corpse of the giant sand mite ladybug was bitten open, a stronger smell of insect corpses came out, and finally the iron fire ants crawling on everyone's body were attracted to it.

"Rustle, rustle. ”

The chewing sound of the iron fire ants reached the ears of several people regularly. Several people turned pale and sweated like rain. The danger was in front of him, but no one dared to move casually, just stood tensely.

I don't know how long it took. The iron fire ants that were lying on the body of the giant sand mite ladybug finally began to fly away, first one or two, then a small swarm. As many iron fire ants flew away, the covered giant sand mite ladybugs were re-revealed, but at this time, they were only an empty shell.

"Plop!"

After most of the iron fire ants flew away, the little girl Yi Xiu'er couldn't bear it anymore and sat down on the ground with a 'plop'. Immediately afterwards, there were a few more 'plops', and Ji Chengyu, Yi Feng and Ji Ran also sat on the ground. Although what happened just now was very brief, in their senses, it was almost longer than a Jiazi. Today's experience is destined to be unforgettable.

The movement of a few people alarmed the remaining iron fire ants that were burrowing through the shell of the giant sand mite and ladybug, looking for leftovers. The iron fire ants immediately flew away from the giant sand mite and the big ladybug and pounced on everyone.

"Bang! bang, bang, bang!"

More than a dozen fireballs were casually ejected by Mo Chong. At this time, most of the army of iron fire ants had dispersed, and the remaining iron fire ants could not form a formation, so they naturally couldn't resist Mo Chong's fireball. After just a few waves of attacks, the iron fire ant colony had been beaten to pieces, and most of them were burned to death. The remaining iron fire ants that were not dead did not dare to step forward again, and after a buzz, they also fled in the direction of the withdrawal of the large army.

"Let's go too!" Ji Chengyu said.

"Let's go too! While these iron fire ants have just eaten enough, don't go to any destination! Otherwise, when we come back, we will pass through here again, and there will not be so many giant sand mites and big ladybugs to feed them!"

As soon as Ji Chengyu said this, several people's faces changed. Yes, what should I do if I encounter these demon insects again when I come back? Detour? The desert is so big, how can I go around? Not to mention that in the area around the desert, there are far more demon beasts than here. There is such a thing as iron fire ants here, who knows if the surrounding area will not be more dangerous?

Ji Ran, as the leading captain, was silent for a while, then turned to Mo Chong and said, "Mo Daoyou, what do you mean?" After what happened just now, Ji Ran already understood the gap between himself and Mo Chong. If it weren't for Mo Chong, they would have all been here. Now it is to advance or retreat, so naturally we have to listen to Mo Chong's opinion.

Mo Chong pondered for a moment and said, "Since Ji Daoyou is leading the way, he is naturally clear about the situation ahead. What dangers lie ahead?"

Ji Ran smiled bitterly and said, "The next time I came, although I also took this route, I didn't encounter so many dangers. Even the iron fire ants that I have been avoiding in the next place, the last time I only encountered a colony of 20,000 or 30,000 ants. If I knew that there were so many fire ants in this subway, I wouldn't dare to come here. ”

Mo Chong said: "So, the last time Daoist friends came, after passing through the territory of the Iron Fire Ants, there was no other danger?"

Ji Ran said: "There is no danger, I can't say it." However, after walking through this section last time, the next ones I encountered were all very low-level insects and beasts, and the number was very small. ”

Mo Chong nodded and said, "That's it." Since there is such a large group of iron fire ants, it is impossible to have too many other demon beasts and the like. The giant sand mites and ladybugs I encountered before were just because they could sneak in the sand and couldn't be attacked by iron fire ants. ”

Ji Ran's expression moved, and he said, "Mo Daoyou's meaning, is he going to move on?"

Mo Chong said: "Not bad. I have already done more than half of it, and there is no reason to give up halfway. A large part of the reason why we encountered the iron fire ants was the movement caused by the attack of the giant sand mite and the big ladybug. Moreover, the iron fire ant colony is now full and will not come out to forage for food again in a short time. As long as we move fast enough and come back with a colony of iron fire ants still full, we will be safe. ”

Ji Ran nodded and said, "Please rest assured, this Mo Daoyou! It's all here, and Ji will no longer hide it from you." This time, what I took everyone to was actually an ancient ruin buried underground. Although I dare not say that it is very safe. But it's not a Longtan tiger's den, otherwise you won't be able to come back next time. ”

Hearing Ji Ran say that what he wanted to take everyone to was an ancient ruin, and everyone was in good spirits. Compared with any demon beasts and spirit grass, it is naturally more valuable than ancient relics. Ji Chengyu was a little worried: "Brother, is there a formation prohibition in that ancient ruin, shouldn't it be at the same level as the Demon Crystal Palace and the Streamer Illusion Realm?"

Ji Ran smiled: "Of course not." I didn't just say that. It's not too dangerous, otherwise how would I have been able to come back safely last time? It was a half-collapsed ancient ruin, and the mechanisms and prohibitions in it were basically damaged. Last time I was just worried about some surprises, so I quit. ”

Yi Feng stood up and said, "Without further ado, let's go now!"

Although everyone looked tired, they didn't actually consume any mana. After knowing that there was not much danger ahead, he immediately flew at full speed with the Escape Light Imperial Qi. By midnight, you can already see the edge of the desert in the distance. (To be continued......)
