Chapter 0237 Escape!
The acidophilic ants outside the Blood Flowing Canyon are not well-known on weekdays. They have been digging quietly underground for decades. The outside world almost never knows their existence or their number. Maybe hundreds of thousands, maybe millions.
"It is impossible to have millions." Fabrow flatly rejected the speculation, "There are so many acidophile ants that cannot be raised in the forest. It is impossible for a queen to control her ability to have no limit."
In terms of estimating the number of ant colonies, everyone finally reached a relatively unified guess, about 300,000 to 500,000. Considering the size of the acidophile ants, this is already the largest single tribe in the entire Black Forest. It would be even more terrifying to consider that they are controlled by the queen of ants.
Zhou Qingfeng and others were swept by the ant colony and walked silently in the dark passage. Mondino used lighting techniques to light up the immortal magic flames on his staff, and the firelight exposed the details of the passage.
There are acidic ants running back and forth running up and down the passage, with their tentacles constantly waving in the air, and they judge whether they are companions by their smell. Compared with the very perfect ant nest, this passage to Yinye City is very simple.
"According to the description of the previous queen, the acidic ants have been obeying the orders of a demon lord and looking for the Silver Leaf City that sinks into the ground. They must have dug more than just a passage, but the one we have walked through should have been dug up recently." Xili whispered.
Thousands of corpses of acidophile ants were mixed in the soil piled up in the passage, which were all the prices paid for excavation. "I thought these ants would not be tired or died."
The Necromancer continued, "The ant colony has only a collective, no individual. They have so many people that they don't care about this little death. If it weren't for the curse appearing on the ant eggs this time, they would have continued to stay underground and develop a larger scale."
The large ants moved forward in a mighty manner. The queen of the ant came and asked, "Humans, we are almost here. In front of them is the cemetery of Yinye City, and we were cursed by the gods in a temple.
We thought of many ways to solve this problem, but it was ineffective. Now it’s your turn. Let us get rid of the curse and you will be free, otherwise you will die.”
There are ventilation holes leading to the ground at every distance in the passage. All ventilation holes are extremely small and can only bring some fresh air. In this case, Zhou Qingfeng will not use any ideas and is trapped tightly.
Mondino muttered, "If I can get out of trouble this time, I will definitely learn teleportation arcane when I go back, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable."
The passage suddenly went down, and it was dark inside and there was nothing to see. But hundreds of acidophilic ants crawled in fearlessly, and more acidophilic ants were waiting to pour in. The mental scanning could only touch an empty area.
"What's the situation below?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Mondino.
The Necromancer controls the ghost to explore the way, "There is a huge space inside, with collapsed buildings and stone statues everywhere, and the breath of the non-death spirit is very strong. Are you sure you want to go in?"
"If you go in, you will die for one's life. If you don't go in, you will die for ten deaths. What do you want me to choose?" Zhou Qingfeng said, and he turned his head and said, "Everyone, are you ready?"
A series of "ready" responses sounded, including the personnel of Hanfeng City. Everyone tightened their weapons and was ready to fight desperately.
Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath, looked at the flying ants hovering back and forth above his head, and asked with a sneer: "Queen Ant, I have known each other for more than half a month. What's your name?"
"We ants don't have names, and we don't need names. Why ask this?" the queen answered.
Zhou Qingfeng laughed and took a grenade-like thing from Fabro, "I want to brag about it in the future. It can be said that I have killed a certain ant queen. But now I can only say that I have killed a big ant."
Before he finished speaking, "Jiying" suddenly accelerated toward the pile of ants following behind, surrounded by cold currents, making the ants around him unable to move, and were unstoppable along the way. The queen of the ant said in a panic: "Human, what do you want to do? I can kill you easily."
Xili jumped off the horse's back and pulled the bow and arrow at the group of acidic ants following behind. She whistled softly, and all the golden arrows in the endless quiver flew up, falling one by one on the magic bow's 'swing'.
The bowstring is tightened, and the flying arrows arrive first, and hit the ant pile before Zhou Qingfeng. Each hit will produce a violent penetration and electric shock effect. The acidic ants on the ant pile continue to explode and the edges fall.
The speed of "Jiying" increased to the extreme. Zhou Qingfeng pinched the grenade-like mental jammer and threw it into the large hole of the ant pile that was blasted by the arrow. The magic item quickly sank into the dense ants, without smoke or sound.
Zhou Qingfeng raised the heavy sword of "Breaking Evil" again and shouted loudly: "Fabro, if your gadget is invalid, I will cut you first."
The Alchemy Chief nervously held the staff behind him and shouted, "It will take three seconds to delay the jammer to work after it is activated. It won't take effect so quickly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong spiritual ripples suddenly exploded from the ant pile. It did not react at all, but instead used a mental interference mode to target the spiritual connection between the queen and the ant colony.
This is a bit like a spirit-sucking monster's heart tremble, but it is more targeted. Zhou Qingfeng felt a tingling brain, as if he was attacked by a bomb. Everyone present was affected. He was dizzy, dizzy, and forced to enter a state of loss of mind.
The direction of the ant pile was even more fatal. The acidic ants that were originally gathered in a ball suddenly looked like a collapsed wall. The cocoon structure composed of a large number of ants continued to collapse. The queen of the ant let out a sharp scream amid the disturbance of the mind, which was carried out throughout the audience.
The "sky shadow" with air conditioning all over the body rushed towards the pile of collapsed ants, frozen the lost control of the acidic ants. Other acidic ants also lost their organization. They shaking the tentacles on their heads in a daze, but they were unable to even distinguish between the enemy and us.
Zhou Qingfeng raised the heavy sword high, and the sword beam pulled out a sharp blade of one meter long and slashed towards the depths of the ant pile. The "war trampling" accelerated him and "Jiying" at the same time. The fearless impact of the acidic ant that was difficult to count was tried to kill the queen of the ant under layers of protection.
The 'dominant body' state protects Zhou Qingfeng from ordinary damage, and constantly kills him and improves his combat power. The trampled ants flew across the juice under the horse's hooves, like sputtering out, and were frozen by the surrounding cold current, and their souls were frozen.
After continuous cooperation, the ant pile was stripped of five or six meters thick, and the queen ants hidden inside could not be seen. However, the jammer that restrained the spiritual connection between the ants stopped working from time to time. The original chaotic ants could occasionally accept the control of the queen.
A shrill scream rang out in everyone's mind, which was a curse of extreme resentment, "Humans, you all have to die!"
When more and more dead eugenic ants were dead, the impact of the 'Ji Ying' shouted instead: "These dead ants are corroding my body."
Zhou Qingfeng was also sputtered by the acid liquid of the ant colony, and the scorching pain on his body surface was made. The "war trampling" made him almost invincible, but the more severe he rushed in the narrow passage, the stronger the acid corrosion he suffered.
But the queen of the ant was hiding, maybe a few meters away, or a few hundred meters away. Zhou Qingfeng and "Jiying" were going to be finished first.
The ant colony surged upwards, wrapping Zhou Qingfeng, who was trapped in the ant pile. A reel of Fengfeng suddenly exploded, and a powerful circular air wall blew a large number of ants into the sky. "Jiying" gathered the cold air and rushed back from the ant pile.
Zhou Qingfeng on the horse's back shouted loudly: "There are too many ants. The first plan failed, and the second plan was implemented." After that, he took the lead, pulled the elf maid up halfway, and rushed to the slope passage entering the underground cemetery.
What is the second solution?
