Chapter 89 Insect Disaster (Part 2)

Just when the situation was about to be brought under control, the situation suddenly changed. With a bang, a piece of frozen ground nearby suddenly exploded, and a large hole appeared on the ground amid the splash of broken ice. A giant ant nearly the size of a pet dog emerged from the ground.

The lightning fire ants that appeared at the beginning were only as big as locusts. Although this size was no longer the normal size of ants, it was still consistent with the normal size of insects, but ants as big as dogs were another matter. The newly emerged giant ants have significantly better cold resistance than the original lightning fire ants, and there are actually quite a few of these guys. Several large pits appeared around us, and more giant ants emerged from the ground and began to attack us. I had to release the Steel Silver Bee and Crystal Beetle into the battle again. These giant ants were more deadly than before.

The newly appeared giant ants are marked as Thunder War Ants on Star Pupil's display, with a level of 0, not much higher than Thunder Fire Ants. The defense of the war ants does not seem to have been improved much. For such a large size, the defense is only 5% higher than that of the war ants, and the health value is only about 10% more. It is the type that will die at a touch. However, this level 0 creature is much more powerful than the lightning fire ants at the beginning, because their attack power and attack speed have been greatly increased. The attack power of war ants is more than five times that of lightning fire ants, and they can attack twice as many times in the same time. At the same time, these guys are stronger, faster, and obviously poisonous.

Just as the war ants poured out in large numbers, several large pieces of ice suddenly flew up from the ground, and a group of even larger monster ants emerged from the ground. This third type of ant is only slightly larger than the war ant, but their body shape is more slender, and the most eye-catching thing is that they have a pair of transparent wings on their backs.

Flying ants. This is a flying ant! As soon as I understood what was going on, the flying ant on the ground shook its abdomen a few times, then spread its wings and took off into the sky. At first, my Steel Silver Bee still had the flying advantage and could attack any target freely, but now the flying ants have come out. The Steel Silver Bee was immediately entangled, the advantage no longer existed, and the battle immediately became one-sided.

"Ah!" Burrows suddenly appeared on the ground behind us, and more war ants and flying ants emerged from the ground. The Snow Queen's team also began to be attacked. Seeing the entire battle line collapse, I really didn't expect it. Defeated by these little bugs.

The Ice Queen's team was scattered, and the magical ice began to melt. Our team began to disintegrate rapidly, and a large number of small fire ants began to regain consciousness and join the fight. Jingjing's absolute barrier finally collapsed under the attack of a large number of war ants. Xiao Longnu reacted quickly, and blasted away the nearby war ants with a Shui Mu Shuanghua, pulling Jingjing into the air quickly. However, the flying ants were not willing to let them go, and a large number of flying ants quickly moved up and began to surround the fighting combination of Jingjing and Xiao Longnu.

I quickly summoned Aina. "Try to see if your singing voice works."

As soon as Adi Na appeared, I pulled her up and flew up, and the flying ants quickly caught up with her. A Di Na opened her mouth as if to say something, but I didn't hear anything. This should be directional sound waves. The flying ants chasing us dropped suddenly as if they had been hit by insecticide. It seems that high-frequency vibrations have a certain effect on these fragile lives.

Just when I thought I had found a weapon to defeat the enemy, a large swarm of new flying ants suddenly rose from the ground. The flying ants that appeared this time were almost as big as a pony, and they flew with more force than a steel silver bee. More importantly, there were too many of them.

Yeyue suddenly used spiritual contact to say to me: "Master, let everyone land immediately and turn on the strongest protection. I want to use the forbidden ability."

"What are you going to do?" I asked while quickly directing the individual flying in the air to fall quickly.

Yeyue didn't answer me. Almost the moment we landed, she suddenly jumped from the top of the dark forest into the center of the ant colony. "Forbidden Technique - Time Shackles."

Yeyue suddenly flashed, and a shock wave composed of pale yellow visible light quickly spread out. All surrounding things that are wrapped in the light curtain are banned. This is a very special kind of barrier that prohibits many things, such as movement. I felt like I couldn't control my body at all, and everything wrapped around me, regardless of whether it was friend or foe, also stopped. At the same time as movement is prohibited, gravity is also prohibited. Some things in the air actually float in the air as if they have entered the universe, but they are not completely prohibited. Gravity disappeared, but inertia seemed to still have some effect. Some bugs were floating in the air and still moving. They hit something and bounce off in another direction, not completely fixed.

Yeyue kept her head raised to the sky. At the center of this yellow space, the light curtain expanded into a large ball with a diameter of more than three hundred meters, and even the ground was wrapped in. Everything within this range was stopped.

Just when I thought this space would last forever, Yeyue suddenly said again: "Forbidden Technique - Retrograde Wheel."

All the steel silver bees around me turned into mercury and returned to my black crystal, and all the crystal beetles quickly returned to the insect nest on my hand like a movie rewinding, and those strange ants began to shrink rapidly. The wings of the flying ants gradually disappear and shrink. The other strange ants are also getting smaller. Eventually all the giant ants shrank until they were invisible. It was not just us and the strange ants that were changing, some leaves on the ground began to slowly turn green and flew back to the trees.

Yeyue seems to be turning time backwards. Everything in this space is degrading. The withered leaves regained their vitality and returned to the trees, the Steel Silver Bee returned to its basic state of mercury, and the Crystal Beetle also retreated into the insect's lair. The bite wounds on Lucky's body have returned to normal, and the magic values ​​​​of my demon pets and I are recovering rapidly. As for those giant ants, I think they have been degraded to the state of insect eggs.

Just as the insects disappeared, Yeyue suddenly fell down without warning. The yellow space collapsed instantly, time returned to freedom, everything resumed action, everything resumed operation, but the bugs disappeared.

"Yeyue." I hurried over to see how Yeyue was doing. The attributes show that this is a temporary coma caused by special skills, which is a side effect of the forbidden magic belt.

I quickly said to the little dragon girl: "Hurry up and flood this place with water. We can't let these eggs hatch again."

Xiao Longnu was beaten badly just now, and she certainly didn't want to do it again now. After the little dragon girl submerged the ground, the ice queens cast spells to freeze the ground again. Those eggs could not last long without the care of adults and would soon be killed by the low temperature.

"Phew! I almost got eaten by ants!"

Jingjing stood next to me and said, "Master. I feel like the enemy has not been wiped out yet."

"Not completely eliminated? Do you feel the enemy?"

Before Jingjing had time to answer, a big tree next to her suddenly rose up. At first I thought it was a tree demon, but when the tree fell sideways, I realized that something was coming out from under the tree. The big tree was completely blown away. There were no trees among the trees, and the light from the sky could shine in. It is already early morning here, and the morning light is relatively bright. With the light cast down on it, I can confirm that this is still a strange ant, but the difference is in size.

The newly emerged giant ants are almost as big as an elephant. Although it's not as big as a tank, it's pretty big for an insect. After a few booms, four more big trees flew out, and five new giant ants lined up in front of us.

The demon pets and I quickly gathered together and looked around on guard. They are the first of them to be able to 'force' me to do this. I opened the Fenglong Space to let Ling, Xiaochun and the other humanoid pets come out. It seemed that we alone couldn't defeat the ants.

Although Ling and the others didn't come out to join the battle, they could sense my thoughts. They knew it after fighting hard all night last night. Ling and Xiaochun quickly came to my side, and Xiaochun whispered: "Master, since I have known you, this is the most embarrassing time for you, right?"

Ling smiled and said: "Xiao Chun, didn't you look at Long Yuan's species gene map when you were offline last time?"

Xiaochun shook his head: "I didn't look."

Pepper reminded: "The evolutionary spectrum of Long Yuan's new species theory: evolution is cyclical, and the end point is the starting point. The more it evolves, the more concentrated it is, the more concentrated it is, the more fragile it is, and the more primitive it is, the more dispersed it is. The more dispersed, the safer it is."

Jingjing followed: "We are more advanced than the monster ants, so our individual strength is stronger, but the overall performance is more fragile. So far, it is the crystal beetles and steel silver bees that have been resisting the attack."

Lingling looked at the giant ants opposite and asked, "Why are they not moving?"

I shook my head. After summoning the demon pet just now, I planned to focus on defense, but after we faced off against them for a long time, both sides became relatively quiet. Suddenly one of the ants moved. We were all on guard nervously, fearing that a bunch of big ants would pop up somewhere.

Although the giant ant moved, it did not come over. It turned around and ran towards us. Do they want to divide and encircle it?

Phantom reminded: "Master, it seems to be heading for those totems."

faint! Forgot those things. Those things were not far away in the first place, and the giant ant moved very quickly. Suddenly, it had arrived. I chased after us, and the remaining four giant ants immediately crossed in front of us in an attempt to stop us, but just when they were about to reach us. A sound suddenly came from the direction of the totem place.

"Let them come over." The giant ants suddenly braked to a collective stop, which in turn confused us. The voice said: "Please come here, don't be afraid."

I took my demon pets and looked at the giant ants warily, but these guys seemed to be frozen and completely ignored us. We carefully moved to the totem area, but we only saw the giant ant that came first, standing next to a totem pole. I looked around but didn't see the person speaking.

"No need to look for it, it's me talking to you." The voice sounded again, and the source turned out to be the totem pole next to the giant ant.

"what are you?"

"I am the guardian totem."

"Guardian totem? Are you a guardian totem that protects a certain creature or a guardian totem that protects a certain place?"

"Strictly speaking, I am the guardian totem that protects the ant clan, but my current role is to protect the ant clan's sacred objects."

"Ant monster, what's the use of talking to him so much? Let's try our strength first and then talk about it! Don't find a soft-footed shrimp like last time." The other totem pole also spoke. And it's obviously another individual.

Just when I was still in surprise, another pillar next to me actually spoke. "I've seen almost everything I should have seen last night. Old Centipede, please stop nitpicking! It's been so many years. It's not easy for us to wait for a suitable place!"

A new pillar joined the conversation: "Old Scorpion is right, it will not be easy for us Thirteen Tribes to wait for this opportunity. We must be cautious."

A pillar with a soft female voice joined the conversation: "Stop arguing, let's see if this person can accept it first."

"What Cai Die said makes sense." The totem pole said to me at the beginning: "Our thirteen tribes represent the thirteen prosperous tribes in the forest Zerg tribe. We hope to expand our power and integrate it into the world outside you. , last night was just a test of your performance, and it seems to be pretty good now. I wonder if you are interested in accepting our invitation to become our spokesperson in the world outside the forest."

"What can I get for this?" My consistent style is not to engage in loss-making transactions.

Totem Pole said very directly: "I know that you have encountered a bottleneck in improving your strength, and we are the Zerg. We do not have this problem of bottlenecks. If you are willing to help us, you can get the full support of our Zerg and get insect blood at the same time." to help evolve your body."

The meaning of this totem pole is very obvious, my level 800 level mission is here. In this situation, do you think I can disagree? Besides, this seems to be a good deal. Although I don't know the strength of the Zerg, it was obvious from last night's test. If we really fight, we are no match for the Zerg.

"How do you need me to help you?"

"Take us back."

"You mean to take all your totem poles back?" I looked up and down at these totem poles. "Please, each of you is several hundred meters high and three or four meters in diameter. Do you think I am a Titan? Besides, you have thirteen of them, how can I move them?"

The pillar with a female voice said: "The ground you see is not our body. These pillars are just big trees that seal us, and our body is sealed in the tree."

"That's no problem, I'll dig it out for you."

"Are you sure you want to accept the mission? If you release us but don't complete the mission, we will punish you."

"Don't worry. I will always do what I promise." These guys held my 800-level mission in their hands. I wanted to find a way to upgrade even if I didn't agree!

At the beginning, the totem pole of the ant clan said again: "Well, since you agree to accept our request, let us free ourselves from the seal. We Zerg cannot touch these things, so you can only do it yourself. "

No wonder these guys don't come out on their own. It turned out to be because my own clan couldn't help. I walked up to the totem pole of the ant tribe and asked, "Where are you probably? I need to find a place to strike!"

The totem pole said: "Two meters up from the ground, you start cutting off the trunk from there."

"Understood." I transformed into a werewolf first, then found a height two meters above the ground and cut it with the Eternal Sword. when. There was a sound like cutting steel, and the sword bounced back. I 'touched' the trunk in surprise. "Damn, what kind of wood are you talking about?"

"The wood is ordinary wood. The key is that the power of the seal strengthens the hardness of the trunk. Otherwise, we don't have to wait for you to come, we will come out by ourselves."

"Then what should I do? I cut down an inch deep with just one strike of the sword. It will take at least a day to knock down a tree at this speed. You have so many roots. It will be half a month before I dig them all out."

The pillar called Old Centipede said: "You can't cut it, don't you know how to use a saw? You're such a fool!"

"If you keep making noise, I will leave you and take only twelve of them away."

"You think I'm afraid of you! The mission of the thirteen of us is to reach the ground together. If you don't take me with you, it means you don't take any of you."

"Old Centipede, shut up." Another pillar spoke.

"Tch, fine, I won't say anything anymore."

Centipede Totem finally calmed down, but his words made sense. I quickly turned eternity into a saw for two people. "Luckily, you and the plague are here to stir up trouble."

"It's us working hard again! I want more labor!"

"Hurry up and work, or your wages will be deducted when you go back."

"Okay. Can't I do it?"

I summoned the plague. Lucky and Yilong began to help saw the tree. This sealing magic looks quite powerful. It is very difficult to use the everlasting saw. It took more than ten minutes to get in a little bit. Although it is a little faster than cutting directly at this speed, it still takes several hours!

"Luckily, please stop first." I walked to the edge of the tree and said to the totem pole, "Are your big trees afraid of fire?"

"Don't even think about it. This thing is impervious to fire and water."

"Is acid okay?"

"It's no use."

"What about dark erosion?"

"untested."

I waved. "Ling, come here and give it a try." Fortunately, I have a lot of people, and there are all kinds of people.

Ling walked to the tree trunk and gathered a small dark erosion in the palm of his hand and tried it. The result was that it was effective, but it was not as fast as cutting it with a knife.

I sat there thinking for a long time and suddenly thought of a way. "By the way, are there any crystal beetles?"

The crystal beetle was called to stop as soon as it was summoned. "You'd better not let them come." Totem Pole said: "This seal is to fight against the Zerg. Your bug is also a kind of Zerg, and it will explode if you get close."

I took a crystal beetle and threw it over in disbelief. The crystal beetle exploded as soon as it hit the tree trunk. It seems that this thing really cannot touch insects.

"Is it okay to uproot it?" I asked.

Totem said: "The magic power of the seal comes from the ground. As long as you cut the tree, the upper part will return to the hardness of a normal tree. You can cut it however you want, but you must not touch the roots. Those roots are enhanced by magic power. Once injured, it will fight back crazily. I’m afraid you won’t be able to deal with the joint counterattack of the plants in the entire forest.”

"It's really troublesome. Who sealed this thing for you?"

"God of life and the forest."

"Why did you offend him?"

"She said we were destroying trees."

“Do ants eat big trees?”

The centipede totem next to it immediately shouted: "They are all harmed by the 'hairy' insect tribe. In fact, we don't eat the trees, it is the 'hairy' insects that come to eat the leaves. The goddess said that we thirteen insect tribes are one. We must put them together." We’ve sealed them all.”

"Halo! It turns out that the goddess also likes to play the game of Zhu Lian Jiu Clan!"

The ant totem said: "You should think of a solution quickly!"

"I already have a way, but it's a bit dangerous. I'm afraid it might even be damaged by you."

"Don't worry, we are sealed in the void space. Our body is not in the tree. Only when the tree is destroyed will we return to the normal space. It can be said that we are not actually here, so it will not hurt us."

"Then I'm relieved." I stretched out a finger and said, "Don't worry, I'll get something and I'll be right back."

After the Ice Queen was released, none of the space doors was closed, and it is still standing in the forest. Anyway, that thing has the aura of the Mother Earth in it, and no one would dare to enter. I ran all the way back to the space door, and after a while I came back with two boxes in my arms.

"What is this?" the totem pole asked in confusion.

I opened the box and took out a bundle of yellow sticks. "This is called dynamite. It's very powerful. It's guaranteed to blow up the tree trunks in a short while."

"Take it easy!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

I took a few bundles of explosives from the box and tied them around the tree trunk. Then my demon pets and I took the remaining explosives and ran to a far away place, and used the totem pole to direct a little fire ant to go there. To light a fire, they don't care about sacrificing a small fire ant anyway.

boom. An earth-shattering loud noise was followed by a tremor on the ground. When we came out, the big tree had fallen to the ground, and the remaining half of the trunk was emitting green smoke.

"Explosives are faster." I said to Jingjing and the others, "Go to the space door and move a few boxes over."

Just as Jingjing left, Cocoa Bean ran back. "Ziri, what's going on here?"

"It's okay. I found a few trees with special characteristics that I want to transplant back. Are everyone in the camp up?"

"Some people have already gotten up. But it's not time yet, and everyone is not there yet. There's no rush to leave just yet."

"Then you go back and be with everyone first. I'll be here soon."

"Oh." Cocoa Bean was confused and I sent him away, while Jingjing and the others came back with explosives.

I tied the remaining twelve pillars with explosives at once and pulled out a main fuse. Another little fire ant crawled to the fuse. There was a puff of flames, and the fuses quickly separated and burned towards each explosive point. After a period of tremors, only tree stumps were left around.

I walked far away and came back to let Lucky blow away the smoke with his wings, and all that was left was the tree trunk on the ground. The totems excitedly asked me to do it quickly, and of course I would not relent. Just as the totems themselves said, after the big tree fell down, its hardness obviously changed to that of a normal tree trunk. Eternal's chopping of wood was no better than chopping tofu, and he dug out the ant clan's totem with just a few cuts.

"Is this your true body?" I asked, holding a red crystal that was no bigger than a table tennis ball.

"This is the door that seals my void space. If I smash it, I can come out."

"Smash it?" After learning from the big tree in front of me, I don't dare to be arrogant and think that I can easily break it open. A piece of rotten wood can be that hard. What happens to the crystal?

The ant totem noticed my worry and hurriedly explained: "This is just an ordinary crystal. It can be broken without much effort."

"Did you tell me earlier!" I raised the crystal in the air. When it fell again, eternity had turned into a pad and lay on the ground. I placed the crystal on Eternity and waved to Lingling: "Cut it open."

Without saying a word, Lingling struck out with her sword, and the crystal snapped. A small black pinball-like object bounced up from the crystal and flew to a height three meters above the ground before stopping. The black object began to expand rapidly, and the demon pets and I quickly retreated. When the black thing expanded to a size large enough to put all my large demon pets in, it stopped, and then it suddenly disappeared.

The black space suddenly disappeared. And in the area covered by the original black space, there is an ant. To be precise, it is a sculpture of ant-like creatures.

"What a big ant." Lucky couldn't help but sigh, there was an ant bigger than him.

This sculpture is obviously a soldier ant with its giant jaws like pliers open in an attacking posture. It is larger than my demon pets, and the surrounding trees were crushed by it. The giant ant sculpture is made of some unknown black material. The surface doesn't look very smooth but feels good. Standing under it, you feel like you are being suppressed and do not dare to raise your head. It is such an imposing ant.

"Hey, didn't you say you're not big? Isn't this called not big? How do you want me to move it?"

"Just move it like this." As the voice came out, the giant ant suddenly shrank and finally turned into a model ant only twenty centimeters long. After shrinking, the ant totem is still black, and the material has not changed at all, but the size and weight have become smaller. "Can you move now?"

"You can move it if you can. Do your other totems do this?"

"Of course. Otherwise, do you think you can take it?" Ant Clan Totem continued: "After you go back, you will build a city for us and put us in the city as totem sculptures. We will protect the city for you in the future."

I said excitedly: "Thank you for meeting me this time. If it were someone else, it would be useless even if you asked him to take him back."

"Why?"

"Because I have a ready-made city, and it's very big. Except for my city, other people's cities can't accommodate thirteen sculptures as big as yours."

"Don't make any mistake, each of us needs a city, we can't put them all together."

"One city for each? Doesn't that mean thirteen?"

"What's the matter?"

"What else is going on? Cities have to be built with manpower. Do you think it's just mud? Thirteen cities, you really dare to say that, but you don't have to worry too much. Fortunately, I have enough cities."

The ant totem suddenly said: "Thirteen cities must be new, and existing cities cannot be used."

"Are you kidding me? Thirteen new cities?"

"Yes, thirteen new cities, each city is used to store one of us. The structure and size of the city must be built according to our design, and each city cannot be careless."

My jaw dropped in surprise. "Wait a minute. You mean not only each totem has a city, but also every city must follow the pattern you have designed here meticulously?"

"Don't worry. The cities we need are not very big, and according to our design, these cities will be your best choice for conquering cities in the future. Believe me, you will not suffer any loss no matter how much you spend."

"I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick now."

A new totem with a softer male voice joined in: "Contractor, do you know Sky Castle?"

"Of course, I have one myself."

"What? You have one?" The voice of this totem was surprised at first and then became very depressed: "We here still think that we are gods with boundless power, but they already have a powerful battle castle, ant monster, I think it is Don't force him, the fate of the Zerg seems to be cursed by God."

I walked up to the totem pole that made the noise and asked, "What tribe are you from?"

"The Flying Clan."

"You mean dragonfly?"

"Dragonflies are just a relatively large branch of our dragonflies. That doesn't mean we are all."

"What is the battle castle you just mentioned?"

The totem of the Dragonfly clan said: "That is an ancient war machine. The Dragonfly Castle was completed by relying on the special abilities of our clan."

"You mean a castle that can move freely and hover or turn at will?"

"Almost." The totem of the Ting clan seems to be recalling the past. "In the glorious era of the Zerg, our Dragonfly Castle was the overlord of the sky, and powerful Dragonfly warriors came out of the castle. That was our era."

Another voice on the side said: "Don't talk about your broken dragonfly castle. Isn't the wasp fortress of our bee tribe more powerful? Maybe we are not as good as you in flying ability. When it comes to fighting, our wasp castle is definitely a hundred times better than the dragonfly castle."

The female totem on the side spoke again: "Don't brag. We have been here together for so many years, and who doesn't know each other? The Dragonfly Castle is the fastest. The Wasp Fort is the first in the battle. Our butterfly tribe's giant butterfly Cities are the ones with the strongest carrying capacity.”

The totem of the ant clan joined in and said: "What good are you guys who can only fly? Didn't we all defeat the dragon clan when we were fighting for territory? Only the army ant fortress of our ant clan persisted until the end, and could only run as fast as What’s the use?”

Ever since the ants joined, the situation has become chaotic. Those totems have been together for too long and may have become accustomed to quarrels. Now they can start quarreling over the smallest things. Each clan seems to have its own castle. Moreover, the castle functions of each race are not the same.

After I got a general idea, I saw that they were almost noisy, so I suddenly shouted: "Quiet, everyone." The world suddenly became quiet.

"You all, please be quiet. The ant totem will be the spokesperson now, and no one else is allowed to speak." I said to the ant totem, "Can you operate underground after your city is established?"

"Of course." The ant totem said: "The army ant fortress of our ant tribe can move quickly on the ground. When encountering a large enemy force, it can also quickly burrow underground to avoid it."

"Does that mean your city is movable?"

"How can you burrow into the ground if you can't move?"

"The city of the butterfly tribe flies by flapping its wings, right?" I really can't imagine the concept of a butterfly-shaped city flapping its wings.

The ant totem said: "No, no, no, the legs of the insect castle can be moved, which helps us move on the ground, but special abilities such as flying are accomplished by magic. The giant butterfly city of the butterfly tribe is completely It cannot move, its wings are actually hollow, and people can live inside.”

"What about the ant city?"

"Our ant city can use earth magic to sneak into the ground and move underground, but the magic effect is not through digging holes with claws. Our city will not form tunnels underground after moving."

"What about movement speed?"

"It will definitely be very slow underground, and even the most powerful magic can only have a limited effect. The moving speed of our city underground is only about the same as the normal walking speed of humans, but we can move quickly after we get to the ground, about It can reach the speed of some slower four-hoofed animals, at least faster than humans."

“Can I turn while moving?”

"As long as you want, it's okay to climb sideways. Of course, this only applies to our Ant Clan's castle. For example, the centipede castle of the Centipede Clan may have some difficulty climbing sideways, but it can turn very flexibly. Their city can bend."
