Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 261 Destroying the Earth Fire Ant Nest

"The wind is coming"!
With a wave of Chu Xin's hand, the yellow scarf sorcerers scattered in all directions were instructed to quickly display their housekeeping skills, demon wind.

In an instant, the sky darkened, and the howling black wind surged from all around, instantly surrounding the flock of black canary birds that couldn't be defended.

The changes happened too fast, even though the black canary reacted quickly, it didn't have time to break out from the black wind.

This slowness caused them to completely fall into the envelope of the black wind, and the black canaries suddenly lost their sense of direction. They rushed left and right in it, but it was difficult to fly out of the black wind.

"Whoosh", accompanied by the sound of piercing through the air, the shooting camp behind Chu Xin bent his bow and condensed his arrows, and arrows of cloud and air pierced through the air.

There was also the roar of lightning, which was the lightning-drawing technique of the Yellow Turban sorcerer.

The black canary is small in size and quick to respond. Under normal circumstances, it is an extremely difficult target to hit.

But under the shield of the black wind, these black canary completely lost their perception of the surrounding environment, and did not realize the crisis until the attack was approaching.

In a hurry, it is naturally difficult to completely dodge.

Black Canary's own defense ability is not weak, but the attack of Shesheng Battalion is half-energy and half-spiritual will type damage, and the physical defense they are proud of does not have much effect.

The cloud arrow directly sank into the black canary's head, taking their lives in an instant.

There are also some unlucky ones who were hit by the lightning-inducing technique, which were even worse, falling from mid-air with their bodies charred and black.

Under the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban sorcerers and the Sheshengying Battalion, the black canary fell from the sky one by one as if they were dropping dumplings.

In less than 10 minutes, the colony of more than a hundred black canaries was almost wiped out.

Except for a few lucky ones who escaped from the blockade of the black wind by luck, the birds flew high in the sky, and fled here quickly, which is considered to have survived.

However, they probably didn't have the courage to return to this place again.

After destroying the black canary group, Chu Xin deliberately opened the map to check, but unfortunately, there was no icon to explore, that is to say, there was no war reward.

I don't know if the black canary is not strong enough, or the population is too small. Chu Xin's impression is that the five-star abyssal snake demon has explored things.

He rectified his staff and started to move towards the next place where the ground fire ants were.

Compared with the black gorse, ground fire ants are more troublesome to deal with, mainly due to their huge population.

Nearly more than 1000 ground fire ants, the strength is not too weak, it is no less than a small war.

Therefore, the team to encircle and suppress the fire ants should be larger.

The corpse monks who stayed in the Boneyard, as well as the mountain bears, thunder bears and other creatures who are good at magic, were all called over.

The individual fire ants are average in strength and small in size. If a ranged spell is used, it will definitely die in pieces.

Chu Xin led the team to a place about a kilometer away from the fire ants' nest. Looking at the nest, a large number of fire ants came in and out, looking busy.

It can be clearly seen that the land in the area above the fire ant nest is dark red and full of scorching heat.

The land is bare, not a single blade of grass grows.

The land in this area has been transformed by ground fire ants into a suitable environment for them to live in. It contains a lot of fire elements. Except for the rare fire-loving plants, it is difficult for ordinary plants to survive in this environment. .

"Do you want to eat these ants?" Chu Xin looked at the iron scales at his feet and asked curiously.

There are ants in the pangolin's recipe, and the iron scales are somewhat similar to the variant of the pangolin. I don't know if the habits will be similar.

Iron Scale shook its head, showing resistance, it only likes to eat those minerals that are rich in metal elements.

Chu Xin knew that he was thinking too much, so he didn't ask any more questions, and used his spirit to explore the situation on the other side of the fire ant's nest.

The range of his precise mental manipulation is about 300 meters, but a relatively simple mental investigation like this can still cover a wider range.

Therefore, Chu Xin can also mentally detect the general situation of the fire ant's nest a thousand meters away.

Near the nest, on the ground and underground, there are fist-sized ground fire ants, dark red densely packed in a large area, and the number is quite amazing.

After simple observation and the detection results on the map, Chu Xin knew that the ground fire ants were roughly divided into three types.

The worker ants responsible for carrying food and taking care of various things in the nest are smaller and weaker, generally around two stars;

The soldier ants responsible for hunting have well-developed mandibles and strong aggressiveness, and their strength is generally three stars;

Then there are the battle ants who are responsible for guarding the nest and the queen. They are about three times the size of the worker ants, and their individual strength is strong, reaching four stars, but the number is relatively small, only about forty or fifty.

As for the ant queen in the center, her strength has actually reached five stars.

It has to be said that the overall strength of the ground fire ant colony is much stronger than Chu Xin expected.

The queen is the center of the entire ant colony, responsible for laying eggs and governing the entire ant colony, just like the mother of the Zerg.

Ants themselves belonged to insects, and naturally used a system similar to that used by Zerg, constantly plundering nearby resources to grow their own group.

This group of ground fire ants are very aggressive, perhaps because of the huge population size, which gives them full confidence.

When Chu Xin sensed a four-star black-armored centipede passing by the ground fire ants' nest, it was instantly surrounded by a group of ground fire ants.

In just a moment, it was dismantled into pieces of food and transported back to the nest, leaving only pieces of black carapace on the ground.

Chu Xin can guarantee that if the ground fire ants are strong enough, they will not hesitate to attack his territory.

Fortunately, the ground fire ant colony has not yet grown up. More than 1000 ants are actually nothing to the ant tribe.

Chu Xin approached a certain distance again, and went into the fire ant's nest unscrupulously to explore. The spiritual power of these ants is very weak, including the queen of the fire ant, so the fire ant's nest is completely to his spirit. It's like opening up.

After more than ten minutes of exploration, Chu Xin finally determined the location of the Earthfire Ant Queen.

Which one is easier to deal with, a tribe of fire ants with a brain or a tribe of fire ants without a brain, Chu Xin thinks it is the latter.

He patted the iron scales and went straight into the ground.

Under Chu Xin's guidance, one person and one beast quickly approached from the ground to a position less than ten meters away from the Fire Ant Queen. This distance, even with the mud blocking it, was enough to guarantee the harmfulness of Chu Xin's mental attack.

In fact, at this location, it is possible for ground fire ants to find them.

However, Chu Xin was not worried at all. Earthfire ants were not completely underground creatures, and excavation was not their specialty. The entire Earthfire Ant tribe might not be able to catch up with the underground iron scales.

In this situation, even if the Fire Ant Queen found Chu Xin, there was nothing she could do.

On the one hand, it was impossible to quickly find them underground. On the other hand, the huge body of the Earth Fire Ant Queen was not easy to move.

In fact, it would be easier to shoot the grass ball, but at this moment, the little guy had already fallen asleep, and Chu Xin didn't wake it up.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt." Chu Xin confirmed the position of the Fire Ant Queen above her head, and a thick spiritual spear quickly took shape, walking through the soil and heading straight for the Fire Ant Queen.

Spiritual power traveling through the dirt is a completely different feeling from the air, almost stagnant, with great resistance.

But Chu Xin's mental strength was extremely tenacious, and under his control, the mental spear stabbed towards the Earth Fire Ant Queen very stably.

At this time, the Earth Fire Ant Queen has actually sensed the crisis from the ground, but in order to lay eggs, her body has become extremely large under constant eating, and she can only watch helplessly as the attack approaches.

The nearby guarding battle ants sensed the anomaly of the ground fire ant queen, but they couldn't feel the spiritual spear, so they didn't know how to deal with it.

Accompanied by a painful neigh, the Earthfire Ant Queen's movement of trying to escape came to an abrupt end, and her whole body collapsed.

The busy ground fire ant tribe suddenly fell silent, and all the ground fire ants stopped their work. After a short period of sluggishness, the entire ant colony seemed to lose control and rioted wildly.

Without a ruler, without a breeder, it would be disastrous for an ant tribe.

At the nest of ground fire ants, like a blowout, ground fire ants rushed out frantically.

In this chaotic situation, they released their attacking nature, like a torrent, sweeping towards the vicinity.

Groups of ants rushed out of the ant nest, wantonly destroying everything they saw, the flames were all red, and the momentum was extremely frightening.

They violently devoured every living thing on every inch of land they passed, whether it was insects or plants, they were all swept away.

An ant colony out of the control of the queen, like an angry bull, attacks everything that can be seen around it.

In this case, most of the groundfire ant colonies will gradually die out in the chaos, and only with a very small chance of being lucky and accepting a new queen can the tribe continue.

"You asked for this!" Chu Xin was going to let the group of fire ants wander outside, but they rushed towards the territory.

In this case, he will naturally not be polite, and just go straight to it.

Coincidentally, the Black Canary didn't get the war reward, so the fire ants here should show some face.

The Yellow Turban sorcerer directly displayed the evil wind, swallowing the incoming torrent in one go.

The earth fire ants, who were rushing forward, suddenly lost their sense of direction, and the originally relatively united troops began to fall apart.

The evil wind of the Yellow Turban sorcerer is surprisingly effective against these strange beasts with weak mental strength and low IQ.

The ground thorns of the mountain bear, the lightning of the thunder giant bear, and the corrosive cloud of the corpse monk all threw towards the ground fire ant in the evil wind.

A large number of ground fire ants were exterminated, especially the corrosive poisonous cloud of the corpse monk, which fell a large number of ground fire ants in one fell swoop.

Accompanied by a corpse explosion, a large area of ​​the dense groundfire ant colony was immediately emptied, and even more than a dozen four-star battle ants were killed or injured.

Such a crushing battle ended quickly. The Shesheng Battalion guarded the periphery, and the only thing that came up was an arrow. In the end, none of the ground fire ants could escape from the evil wind.

The battlefield was in a mess, and like those insects, the fire ants did not contribute any magic cores.

Picking some relatively complete ones, Chu Xin asked the mountain bears to cooperate with the Yellow Turban sorcerer to transport them to the Boneyard for digestion, and submit the rest to the Boneyard dungeon at one go.

Like this kind of beast that exceeds one star, some copies of the body are still admitted.

Chu Xin opened the map, took a look, and found that there were still no icons to explore.

"It shouldn't be!" He muttered, looking at the small red dots that still existed in the fire ant nests on the map, he immediately understood that it should be because the fire ant nests had not been completely cleaned up.

Among them, there may still be some ground fire ants hiding in their nests.

The passages in the fire ants' nests are very narrow, and the only ones who can get in there are iron scales and grass balls.

Iron Scale's abilities were more defensive and supportive. Its offensive ability was relatively weak and its efficiency was too low. Chu Xin had no choice but to wake up Cao Tuan.

The grass ball that was awakened by the patting rubbed itself a little sleepily with two small rattan hands, and then looked at Chu Xin full of resentment, the vicious capitalist, who didn't let anyone rest all night long.

Feeling that this little guy has been with him for a while, and his emotions are getting richer and richer, Chu Xin sighed with emotion, and began to appease the angry weed that got up.

"There are still some small ants in the ground, only our great grass group can kill them, it's all up to you!"

Chu Xin half-coaxed and half-deceived Cao Tuan to start clearing the underground fire ants, and his mental perception followed Cao Tuan's vines into the fire ants' nest.

Soon, he knew what those little red dots he saw were the young eggs of ground fire ants, and a small number of battle ants, who were still loyally guarding the corpse of the ground fire ant queen.

The four-star battle ants were naturally helpless in the face of the grass ball, and the grass ball easily took a few vines and took a photo on the ground.

To Chu Xin's surprise, the grass group packed the ground fire ant eggs and the dead battle ants, including the ground fire ant queen, out of the ground fire ant nest together.

What is this for?
Chu Xin was a little puzzled. He only asked Cao Tuan to kill all the life forms in the groundfire ant's nest, but didn't ask him to bring all the corpses out.

"Master, can these be taken home to eat?" Cao Tuan asked expectantly.

Chu Xin clutched his forehead, he finally understood what Cao Tuan was up to.

"Uh, Tucker doesn't necessarily know how to do this!" Chu Xin was about to refuse, but seeing Cao Tuan's expectant eyes, he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, forget it, take it back to Tucker yourself."

The grass ball belongs to a different kind of plant. It was born out of a demon predator and can feed on the flames of the abyss, so it is still very interested in this kind of strange beast with strong fire elements.

As the grass group emptied the young eggs and war ants in the ground fire ant nest, finally, there were icons that could be explored on the map.

Chu Xin immediately interrupted the automatic exploration of the golden villain and put it into it. It only took 5 minutes in total, which was not too long.

The automatic exploration here didn't produce any good things, just a bunch of junk, but the exploration value has increased by more than 1000, which is not bad.

I don't know what's going on, but the last few automatic explorations have been all kinds of broken copper and iron, filling up the space in the backpack in a few clicks, and it can't be cleaned up.

Chu Xin almost knew by now that it is difficult to produce good things in general exploration, and the real good things are made out of several wars.

Let's look forward to what can be explored in the fire ant nest in the ground!
