Chapter 728: New Talent [Power of Black Horse]!
Remember [new] in one second! The small hematite ants Zhang Yanhang had seen before were considered very big if their pincers were one-fifth the size of their heads. However, the pincer-shaped mouthparts of these large hematite ants were half the size of their heads. The size of one makes the pair of large pliers have a strong sense of presence and looks really outrageous.
Other than that, other parts of these large red iron ants are still very similar to ordinary red iron ants. At least the red exoskeleton armor still looks very similar.
After briefly observing these large red iron ants, Zhang Yanhang quickly began to check their attribute list before they launched an attack.
[Red Iron Destroyer Ant (Elite)]
[Level: Level 2 Three Stars]
[Talent: 1. The power of the mysterious horse. 2. Large red iron ants (destroyer ants). 】
[Power of Xuanju: There is a 2.1% probability of triggering an additional attack effect when launching an attack. Strength +30%. 】
[Large Hematite Ant (Destructor Ant): A large, infertile and incompletely developed female large Hematite ant that is born from the mating of the Lord Monster Hematite Queen Ant and the Hematite Prince Ant. During its growth, there are often a large number of large Hematite Ants. Eating hematite ore and absorbing its nutrients is used to build its own hard exoskeleton.
Although the hard exoskeleton made by eating a large amount of hematite ore gives the hematite destroyer ant a defensive power that far exceeds its own body, it is also too heavy due to its high density, coupled with the huge pincer-shaped head. The mouthparts make the body of the hematite destroyer ant too bulky, which means that although they have wings, they can only travel on the ground most of the time.
But the good thing is that compared to some other species of hematite ants' distant relatives, the hematite destroyer ants, as large hematite ants, do not need other materials in the process of mining hematite ore because of their sufficient size and strength. With the assistance of other means, it can maintain higher-efficiency mining activities by simply using the pincer-like mouthparts of its own mouth.
As a means of digesting high-quality hematite ore, hematite-destroying ants still have extremely corrosive formic acid in their bodies, which is responsible for softening the hematite ore. However, due to their immature development, their digestive abilities are not good even under the action of formic acid. The reason why they are unqualified is that they tend to expel part of the hard substances from the body, which is generally called red marrow by the outside world.
In addition to softening the hematite ore during digestion, these highly corrosive formic acids are often ejected from the digestive tissue of the abdomen at once when the hematite-destroying ants face powerful enemies, leaving these sticky Formic acid plays a role in killing the enemy, hindering the enemy's advance, and sealing the entrance to the passage. 】

"Is it really a large hematite ant? However, this level is really different from ordinary hematite ants. The lowest level is just a worker ant responsible for mining and transporting hematite ore. The red iron destroyer ants are all second-order three-star elite level monsters, possessing second-order four-star level strength."
Zhang Yanhang remembered that even the King of Red Iron Ants in Dalagul, a small Red Iron Ant Nest, seemed to only have the strength of a second-order three-star. In other words, any large Red Iron Ant here was stronger than the King of Red Iron Ants. It can compete with the second-order four-star lord monster, the Red Iron Ant Queen.
Although the strength of the Red Iron Queen Ant as a lord monster is far beyond the comparison of these ordinary monsters, if there are too many ants to kill the elephant, the heavy body of the Red Iron Queen Ant only needs as many as the number of Red Iron Destruction Ants. , it is estimated that at most a hundred hematite destroyer ants should be able to kill the hematite queen.
It's just that when the red iron queen is killed, they will also be taken away by the self-destruction of the red iron queen when she is dying.
"Although it is not the same species, this hematite destroyer ant has really inherited the fine tradition of the hematite worker ant. It obviously has fifteen points of intelligence, but it only has health points and no energy value, and it does not have any Serious means of attack.
The first two skills - pinching with giant pincers and crushing rocks - are obviously skills used in the process of mining hematite ore, while spitting formic acid is a last-minute self-protection skill used to save lives. "
Naturally, Zhang Yanhang was very clear about why the Hematite Destroyer Ant had no serious attack skills. He wrote it in the first line of the introduction to the Hematite Destroyer Ant's talents.
Because the Hematite Destroyer Ant is a large, infertile and incompletely developed female Hematite ant that was born from the mating of the Lord Monster Hematite Queen Ant and the Hematite Prince Ant, so it does not have serious attack capabilities. Those serious ones The ability to attack is only acquired as it becomes more fully developed.
After all, most animal cubs are not capable of attacking when they are born, and they do not need to attack at all. Their parents will be responsible for their protection.
And if the parents are directly killed by the enemy, it will be useless no matter how strong the attack method of the animal cub is, it will still die. Even if it is not eaten by the enemy, it will starve to death due to lack of foraging ability.
Although the hematite-destroying ants, which are as big as rhinos, appear to be incomparable to ordinary animal babies on the outside, in terms of their internal levels, the level of development of the hematite-destroying ants is actually only higher than the initial level. Just eggs and newly hatched larvae.
Because insect eggs are not considered life, hematite destroyer ants are just equivalent to infants and young children who have just passed the age of 0-3 and entered the childhood stage of 3-6 years old.
This is like the small hematite ant nest Daragu that Zhang Yanhang cleaned before. If the entire hematite ant nest is divided according to the degree of development, there will only be the lord monster hematite queen and its mating partner hematite ants. Wang has entered adulthood.
The rest, even the fully developed hematite breeding ants, can only be regarded as teenagers, that is, within the age group of 14-17 years old.
Although the body's various physiological functions have been fully developed and full of fertility at this age, it is obvious that no normal person with a sound mind would just give birth to a child at this stage. After all, they still have to go to school.
The hematite breeding ants are much more restricted than schools. Due to genetic and some physiological limitations, they will never be able to truly become adults before the death of the hematite queen. After all, their adult process is so huge. The difference in body shape is almost a semi-abnormal development.
When the gap is so huge, it is impossible to trigger it independently under normal circumstances. It must be assisted by other hematite ants. Well, mainly male hematite breeding ants. In this process, the male hematite breeding ants are also responsible for assisting. They will evolve into the Red Iron Ant King together, and from then on they will be truly responsible for the mission of breeding Red Iron Ants.
"Before, I felt that the flying ability of these hematite destroyer ants was not very good. Now after reading the attribute list, it is indeed not very good.
Because the exoskeleton is too bulky and the huge pincer-like mouthparts on its head make its body somewhat unbalanced, its agility attribute is as low as only thirty-six points, which is only slightly stronger than the second-order two-star monster. , let alone the second-level four-star, even if it is placed on the second-level three-star, it will barely pass.
However, this body shape and exoskeleton do bring huge strength to the Red Iron Destroyer Ant, allowing its strength to reach the second-level four-star limit of 45 points. It is indeed a complete strength player. "
But compared to these attribute lists, Zhang Yanhang still cares more about that talent.
"I didn't expect that the Red Iron Destruction Ant's talent would be the power of the black horse? I originally thought that there would be a power of an earthworm or the power of a chicken?
But in the end, I actually used the power of a mysterious horse that I have never seen before. However, although I have never seen it, judging from the talent effect that can trigger additional attacks and increase strength, it should indeed be related to the power of ants, and it can be regarded as the power of ants. An upgraded version. "
Zhang Yanhang remembered that in ancient times, there were generally two names for ants. One was the earthworm he owned before, and the one was responsible for termites, flying ants and small ants.
The other one is this Xuanju, which mainly refers to some big ants. It is indeed very suitable to use it here, because this red iron destroyer ant is indeed so big that it is as big as a rhinoceros. From this aspect Zhang Yanhang even felt that Xuan Ju was a bit too high-spirited.
After checking the attribute list of the red iron destroyer ant, Zhang Yanhang breathed out silently, and then punched the one that had climbed onto him and was pinching his head with its huge pair of pincer-shaped mouthparts. Whether it is using giant pincers to crush, crushing rocks, or both, hematite is used to destroy the ant's chest exoskeleton.
boom!
With a loud noise, the red iron destroyer ant's thick exoskeleton armor, which was described as very hard in its talent, but was still as brittle as a piece of paper under Zhang Yanhang's fist, suddenly shattered.
The huge impact force penetrates deep layer by layer under the action of inertia. The muscle tissue and red thick body fluid that originally played a buffering role inside have become excellent conductive materials, responsible for swallowing the hematite ore in the esophagus and various glandular tissues. All turned into minced meat under the squeeze of the muscle tissue carrying huge impact.
This huge impact carried the exoskeleton armor fragments and flesh and blood tissue all the way forward and continued to advance inside. Finally, it easily penetrated the two-meter-thick chest structure, creating a mass of flesh and blood mixture, and rushed to the hematite wall next to it. Exploded with a bang.
During this process, the six jointed limbs connected to the hematite destroyer ant's chest exoskeleton had long been broken. The fragile joint structure basically failed to show any defense in the face of such a huge impact. ability.
As for the head and abdomen of the red iron destroyer ant, they had already flown out with the impact.
[Successfully killed the second-level three-star monster ‘Hematite Destruction Ant (Elite)’ x1, soul points +160. 】
After the red iron destroying ants died and could no longer die, the killing sound immediately appeared in Zhang Yanhang's ears. However, he had no time to care about it for the time being because other red iron destroying ants surrounded him again. .
As monsters with second-level four-star strength, these red iron destroyer ants may have poor eyesight due to living in underground environments for a long time, but their reflexes are still very good.
In other words, Zhang Yanhang just stood here without moving, and any monster would come and attack him. Therefore, he was actually seen by the red iron destroyer ants at the first time, and began to besiege him. However, they His pliers couldn't hold Zhang Yanhang's head, so he just kept looking at the attribute list leisurely.
The surrounding hematite destroyer ants kept attacking Zhang Yanhang, but at this time, they were too big, or Zhang Yanhang was too small, and the benefits became apparent.
Each of these hematite destroyer ants is five meters long and two meters wide. Basically, one or two can directly occupy the position next to Zhang Yanhang, leaving only a small opening for the remaining hematite destroyer ants to attack.
To put it simply, Zhang Yanhang is so big, at most two hematite destroyer ants lay on him one after another and clamped his head together with the pincer-shaped mouthparts of their upper jaws, and the other hematite destroyer ants Even if you want to squeeze in, there is no room for many ants to move.
Of course, this is mainly because the hematite destroyer ants have relatively poor attack methods. If it were replaced by other large hematite ants that can attack with energy, what Zhang Yanhang would now face would definitely be a high-density array attack.
Although these red iron destruction ants are constantly clamping Zhang Yanhang's head, or in other words, clamping the energy shield, Zhang Yanhang's energy shield after improving his defense is even confident that it can block even the level A attacks of the fourth-level monsters. More What's more, the attacks of these second-level monsters are really weak and unable to generate even a single ripple.
After all, he is also a third-level awakened person. Even if he had just been promoted and had not had time to upgrade to invulnerability, he hunted the late-level second-level monsters Molten Lizard and Lava Giant Turtle in the permanent teleportation channel, but they were not able to break through their defenses. , now that I think about it, it cannot be said that it is a bit difficult to break through, but it is completely impossible to break through.
Because the time to hunt the monsters was a little tight, Zhang Yanhang was too lazy to continue entangled with them after checking the attribute list. Then he officially started hunting, so he directly punched the monster that dared to attack him. The hematite destroyer ants rushed towards me.
The attack speed at the speed of sound combined with the fist with hundreds of tons of power caused the body of the red iron destroyer ant to explode instantly, breaking into pieces of irregular flesh and blood tissue mixture.
The part that was still relatively intact hit another hematite destroyer ant behind it under the action of inertia, and immediately broke through the exoskeleton armor of its head and poured straight into its body, with a huge effect. It hit more red iron destroyer ants behind with force.
The body was covered in flesh and blood everywhere it went. Finally, after killing several hematite destroyer ants, it stopped because it hit the surrounding thick hematite stone wall.
