511 Red-Spotted Ants

three months later...

Raymond, who was sitting cross-legged in the basement and meditating with the Solid Sacrifice, woke up from the meditation in vain.

There was still a hint of confusion in the eyes that opened in astonishment, but Lei Meng, who quickly stood up, heard the rustling sound.

The sound produced by such a large number of creatures crawling made Lei Meng feel stunned. He immediately turned and rushed to the upper room, and immediately saw an astonishing scene.

For some unknown reason, some gravel and cracks several inches wide appeared in the corners of the room, and many black ants were constantly burrowing in from the outside.

The ants that Lei Meng saw for the first time were about ten centimeters long, and there were a few red spots on their pitch-black bodies.

These red-spotted ants didn't seem to notice Raymond who appeared at the stairs, but Raymond soon saw that he was hanging on some dried meat in the corner, and many of these red-spotted ants had already climbed up. They were using The hard palate gnawed at the jerky.

But what surprised Lei Meng was that even the extremely hard bones seemed to be unable to resist their gnawing, and were gradually disappearing.

Lei Meng, who was relieved in his heart, immediately understood that these red-spotted ants must have noticed the food stored in the room, so they appeared here, so Lei Meng, who had condensed the magical vines, immediately caught a few Red-spotted ants, want to check.

However, Raymond's actions made the red-spotted ants aware of his existence, and rushed towards Raymond quickly after the commotion as if they felt threatened.

When Raymond was about to deprive the force field, he immediately made the red-spotted ants within five meters of him slow down, but the red-spotted ants that were still pouring in from the cracks in the wall made the red-spotted ants in the room The number of ants increased greatly, and piles formed on the edge of the deprivation force field in front of Raymond.

In a moment, it was three meters away from Lei Meng. Ant hills half a meter high were piled up, and the red-spotted ants that were still swarming over entered the range of the force field, then rolled down from the bodies of the companions and fell to his feet, slowly moving their bodies to attack him.

Seeing this, Raymond's face became ugly, and he ignored these little things climbing around his feet, but held the few red-spotted ants he had caught before and began to check them.

The mutated ant formed after being exposed to high-intensity radiation had a metallic luster on its thick upper jaw, and under Raymond's vigorous pinching, the upper jaw of this red-spotted ant was not crushed.

The very strong and powerful red-spotted ant was struggling in Lei Meng's hands. There are faintly visible red spots on its shriveled belly, and the strength of its shell has reached the strength of ordinary metal, extremely hard.

But following the hiss of the red-spotted ant in its hand, a small cloud of mist also diffused from its mouth, just covering Raymond's fingers in it.

There was a sour smell on the nose. Raymond, who was pinching the red-spotted ant's palate, immediately felt the tingling pain at his fingertips. Shocked, Raymond found that the skin of his fingers had turned white. Obviously the acid of this red spot ant is corrosive. It has already threatened Raymond's body.

The fingers holding this red-spotted ant began to exert force, and after a bang, its hard upper jaw was finally crushed, but the three pairs of legs on its abdomen were still struggling, and Raymond with wooden thorns appeared on the fingertips. , and soon found its poison sac from the body of these red-spotted ants.

The soybean-sized poison sac is very similar to the thread sac of a spider, but the yellow liquid seeps from it. But obviously very powerful.

Looking at the red-spotted ants that were still swarming in from the corner of the wall, Raymond finally felt uneasy. He immediately used his mental power to penetrate the rock above his head and reach the surface, but the situation on the surface made his face turn ashen. stand up.

Because under the investigation of his spiritual power. The ground ten meters above his basement has been completely covered by these red-spotted ants.

Even those flying ants with wings actually blocked the sunlight by virtue of their numbers, moving towards one direction like dark clouds covering the sky and covering the earth.

However, during the short time Lei Meng was investigating the ground conditions, the red-spotted ants that came out of the cracks in the corners continued to swarm in. They crawled towards Lei Meng like crazy, and their speed made Lei Meng Meng felt uneasy.

Lei Meng, who quickly checked along the cracks where these red-spotted ants entered, immediately saw that in the area where his basement was located, countless ant tunnels had already appeared, and the number of red-spotted ants that could not be judged had already moved 50 meters underground. The range has become their territory!

After understanding the current situation, Lei Meng immediately turned around and rushed to the room on the lower floor. After tidying up the few things, he condensed plant armor on his body surface. After slightly increasing the strength of the deprivation force field Immediately rushed to the surface.

Raymond, who got out of the ground, cast a flying spell after leaving his basement, making him stand one meter above the ground.

There are countless groups of red-spotted ants under their feet, and everything within sight is covered by these red-spotted ants, and those flying ants whose flying height covers a range of ten meters also started Without gathering, they quickly launched an attack on Raymond.

But after these flying ants entered the range of Raymond's force field, they were suppressed and fell to the ground. There was no possibility of threatening Raymond for a while. Seeing this, Raymond did not take action immediately, but carefully observed He recalled the direction of the red-spotted ants under his feet, and realized after a while that their goal should be the abyss ten kilometers away.

However, the flying ants in the group of red-spotted ants in the air persistently launched a futile attack on Lei Meng, and some flying ants even spit out their acid mist, trying to hurt Lei Meng.

But as long as it enters Raymond's deprivation force field, any flying ants will fall due to sluggish movement, but Lei Meng's short stay in midair caused the surrounding flying ants to gather and swarm over from all sides The sound of flapping wings made by the ants became as loud as thunder.

Raymond, who was unwilling to spend mana on these flying ants, immediately raised his height when he saw this. When he came to the 30-meter-high air, the gathered flying ants were already unable to follow him. , unable to enter the range of five meters around him.

But these overwhelming red-spotted ants have already covered everything in Raymond's sight with ants. Such a large number made Raymond feel irresistible.

Because on the plain where Raymond's basement was located, the sparse trees had disappeared, and even some low mounds had been covered with a thick layer by these ants.

The flying ants circling under the feet and still refusing to disperse are as dense as insect fog, and the ant colonies on the ground that keep advancing at high speed are like tides, endlessly emerging on the horizon , as if there is no end at all!

The vast plain was covered by ants. Lei Meng, who stood in mid-air and breathed a sigh of relief, was surprised by these sudden ants.

"Where did such a large number of mutated ants come from?" Lei Meng, who continued to climb to a height of 100 meters, still couldn't see the edge of the ant colony. After lowering the height, he couldn't help but fell into thought. "Is it a suicide migration when the population is greatly increased?"

Although there was no research on insects like ants before, Lei Meng, who quickly ordered the chip to read the data, quickly saw the relevant records.

Some special ants, when the living environment changes or the number of species increases greatly, will appear migratory behavior when faced with food shortages leading to extinction.

Ant colonies like a legion will treat everything they pass as food, and finally, after arriving at a place where they can continue to survive, they will disperse and resume their original life under the leadership of the queen.

Looking at the direction in which these red-spotted ants were heading, Raymond's eyes suddenly lit up... (to be continued...)
