Chapter 159 Legion Ants
"Ang~~!!" The counterfeit giant dragon led the way ahead, and all living beings in the forest fled under the dragon's chants.
It doesn't matter even if you enter the territory of the monsters, because the monsters below the fourth level have already fled without a trace as soon as they heard the sound of the dragon's roar, and they dare not return until the giant dragon leaves.
With the giant dragon leading the way, the kobold army went all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived at the saltpeter mine cave discovered by Jia Zhengjin yesterday.
The huge fake dragon was left outside the cave to let the wind go.
Jia Zhengjin took Zhuoma, Karl, and more than 2,000 kobolds into the wide cave.
Everyone raised their torches, illuminating every corner inside.
"Listen to me, there may be some strange creatures inside, you all cheer me up!" Jia Zhengjin ordered loudly, "Now listen to my orders and march inside!"
The kobold troops who received the order immediately began to advance inside.
"Hoo!" Just after walking a few steps, the strange black shadow that appeared yesterday reappeared.
"Drink!!" Dolma reacted quickly, rushing forward with an axe.
"Squeak~~" The shadow immediately collapsed.
[News] Dolma killed the fungus ball, you got 40 experience points!
"Fungi ball?" Jia Zhengjin stepped forward, thinking that this black shadow is so weak!
I reached out and groped for a bit.
[News] You got fungal spores!
[News] You got delicious mushroom meat!
Fungal spores are seeds that can be planted, probably this kind of slime-like black shadow? However, this thing seems to be aggressive, and if it is planted in the city, it may endanger those children.
Delicious mushroom meat is an edible food. After trying it, I found it has a slightly sweet taste, which is really delicious!
Walking inside, there are about a dozen of these fungal balls.
Dolma and Karl fought left and right, and without waiting for the kobold troops to react, they easily killed them all.
These fungal balls seem to drop only spores and flesh,
No more loot.
"Start mining!" Jia Zhengjin ordered after walking a while and discovering a large amount of saltpeter ore.
The kobold miners immediately got busy and began to dig quickly in the light of the torches.
Jia Zhengjin left 500 kobold fighters to protect the 100 miners at work, and then said to Zhuoma and Karl: "Let's go inside and have a look!"
"Yes!" Dolma and the werewolf Karl immediately opened the way.
The cave gets wider and wider as you go in, and the space is bigger!
After Jia Zhengjin entered, he was a little worried about whether the upper stone layer would collapse.
There are stalactites everywhere in the cave, hanging on the top and standing below, there are countless large and small. Looking at it from a distance, you will definitely think that this is the mouth of a huge monster, and the stalactites are its dense and sharp teeth!
There is obviously a lot of natural water inside, but the humidity is not that high, and it feels a little dry.
The most important thing is that there are saltpeter mines everywhere near the stalactite layer, which is simply a treasure house of saltpeter! If all of them are mined back, how much gunpowder can be made? Jia Zhengjin was very excited.
"There are still many caves inside!" Dolma observed carefully, "It's too big!"
"It's better to be big!" Jia Zhengjin laughed, "It's best if it's full of mines, then I won't worry about the production of gunpowder anymore!"
While talking, suddenly heard a strange footsteps
"Crack, click..." The sudden appearance of the sound was scary enough, but the echo in the cave made it even more terrifying.
"Is there something inside?" Jia Zhengjin retreated cautiously to the team, letting Dolma and Karl protect him.
The kobold troops immediately moved forward, ready to attack at any time.
"Hush~~" Hearing the sound getting closer, Jia Zhengjin made a silent movement.
After a while, a skeleton wearing iron armor and holding an iron sword came out of a certain cave. As soon as it came out and saw a stranger, it immediately rushed over.
"Damn it! This shouldn't be a tomb, right?" Jia Zhengjin was taken aback.
"Thut!!" The skeleton also urged sadly. Before it rushed in front of Jia Zhengjin, it was immediately strafed by hundreds of kobold crossbowmen. In an instant, it became a beehive and its head was shot off.
[News] The kobold crossbowmen killed the skeleton swordsman, you get 35 experience points!
"So vulnerable?" Jia Zhengjin quickly walked over to collect the spoils.
[News] You got the [Iron Helmet]!
[News] You got [Iron Armor]!
[News] You got the [Iron Long Sword]!
[News] You got [Iron Leggings]!
[News] You got [Iron Boots]!
[News] You got [Bone Meal]!
What the skeleton swordsman exploded was all the iron weapons and armor on his body, plus a pinch of bone powder, which really left Jia Zhengjin speechless: "Poor ghosts! Could it be that there are all such poor ghosts in it? That would be so boring! Come on Some monsters that can explode good things!"
"Xi Xi Suo Suo!" As soon as the voice fell, a burst of intensive footsteps echoed in my ears.
"Didn't I say quiet?" Jia Zhengjin turned around and glanced at the kobold troops with displeasure. It turned out that the kobold didn't move at all, so what was going on with this noisy, flood-like footsteps?
"Lord Keen," Dolma raised his giant axe and looked ahead vigilantly, "There are so many coming!"
"The smell of insects~~" Carl raised his nose and sniffed, then turned his head and said to him.
"Insect?" Jia Zhengjin was about to ask what kind of insect it was, but an astonishing number of ants sprang up from the entrances and exits of the countless caves in front of him, as if they were really like a flood of ants!
These ants are all blue in color, and their bodies are as huge as an adult buffalo. Their mouths collide like the upper jaws of two scimitars, making a rattling sound.
"Damn it! This amount..." Jia Zhengjin was sweating coldly, and people with trypophobia might faint immediately. In just a few seconds, thousands of giant ants have already appeared, and the number is still increasing.
When they saw Jia Zhengjin and others who broke into the cave, they immediately let out a threatening roar, and then rushed over, and the war was about to start!
"Fire-breathing!!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly put on the tiger mask, spitting out raging flames from his mouth to burn and kill the giant ants.
Dolma swung his huge ax straight up, dancing wildly in the ever-increasing colony of ants.
[News] You killed the Legion Ant and gained 2 experience points!
[News] Dolma killed the Legion Ant, you get 2 experience points!
...
Karl also joined the battle immediately, and the kobolds immediately lined up. An extremely fierce battle begins!
Fortunately, although the number of legion ants is terrifying, there are at least tens of thousands of them. But those with weak combat power are fine, even kobolds can easily shoot them. And Dolma and Karl are even more exaggerated, almost as stress-free as harvesting.
The experience is indeed small, but it can't withstand the large number!
