Doomsday Totem

Chapter 381 Aphids
Lilith, who was rescued, smiled silly as if she was drunk, as if she couldn't feel the pain on her body.After they threw her on the supplies cart, they continued to set off.After all, the people who can come here are not simple, even women have extremely strong vitality.As long as you're alive and breathing, you're fine.

A few hours later, Lilith got up. The anesthesia effect of the insect poison had passed, but other toxins remained in her body. There seemed to be thousands of small insects crawling around in the flesh between her chest and abdomen, which made her itchy. Going crazy.So she asked Hagrid for an antidote, but was rejected on the spot, on the grounds that the poison of antlion larvae was not fatal, and the potion could not be wasted.

In desperation, Lilith had no choice but to draw out her dagger, and when she felt so itchy, she cut herself.

"Ah...it hurts...it hurts..." Every time she finished cutting, she would yell for a long time.

Iron Slag, who was lying on the side resting, was awakened by the sound. Seeing her cutting himself to death and screaming, he couldn't bear it for a while, so he took out a dose of detoxification serum brought from the academy from the package, and threw it to her casually.But as soon as she took it, she found that it was a rare concentrated detoxification serum, and then she showed an indifferent expression, humming a little song and putting away the medicine, preferring to continue to endure the itching, rather than use it...

Looking at this little miser, Tie Slag couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and ignored her.

"Ah... ah... it hurts..." But not long after, Lilith screamed again.

Iron Slag, who was dozing off, was so annoyed that he tore off a piece of canvas covering the supplies, and said to Lilith with his hands behind his back, "Come on, open your mouth."

Lilith thought he was going to give her medicine, so she obediently opened her small cherry mouth, and Iron Slag stuffed the cloth ball into it.

"Uh...uh..." Lilith, with the cloth in her mouth drying out, immediately fell silent. Just as she was about to spit it out, a gleaming redemption coin appeared in front of her eyes.

"Don't spit it out, this is for you." The magnetic voice seduced.

"Mmmm..." Lilith nodded quickly, then grabbed the coin and stuffed it into her pocket.But at this moment, the black pig king who was sitting on another material cart just turned his head, happened to see this scene, and immediately burst out laughing.

When Lilith heard the laughter, she immediately followed the sound and stuck out her tongue at the Black Pig King, then pulled up the canvas covering the materials and got in.

The next day, Lilith's wound had scabbed over. It seemed that she also possessed the ability to transform into a recovery type, otherwise the wound would not heal so quickly.Iron Slag asked indirectly, but Lilith told him without any concealment.

"I have the ability to regenerate aphids." Lilith whispered when there was no one around.

"Rare-level regenerative ability?" Iron Slag hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "What's the difference from insect regeneration?" Talk about specific effects.

Lilith then explained that insect regeneration is a basic ability, so the recovery speed is relatively fast, but it cannot repair permanent trauma, such as the loss of an organ or a broken limb.The regeneration of aphids can achieve organ reconstruction and regeneration of severed limbs.

"Sounds like a good mark." Iron Slag commented.

"Actually..." Lilith hesitated for a while, then bit her lips, and said with determination, "There is a very annoying defect in aphid regeneration, and the mutated gene fragments can only exist in the gene chain of female insects. Among them, it is completely ineffective against male worms."

Among the insectification abilities, some abilities are gender-restricted. For example, iron slag male ant glands can only be absorbed by men. Even if women absorb it, it will not produce any effect.

"What defect?" Tie Slag asked casually.

"Ah..." Faced with his question, Lilith blushed and said in a low voice, "This is a girl's secret, I can't tell you."

Iron Slag took out a redemption coin expressionlessly.

"I really can't say..." Lilith lowered her head and said with a blushing face.

Iron Slag took out another redemption coin.

"I can't say even if I die..." She insisted, tugging at the hem of her clothes vigorously.

Tie Slag immediately put away the coins and didn't ask any more questions.

"Don't you want to know?" Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Lilith quickly raised her head and asked.

Tie Slag grinned, but said nothing, because he had already guessed...

Seeing his expression, Lilith was silent for a while, and finally sighed resentfully, and said, "Maybe you thought you had guessed it, but things are not as simple as you think."

Facing her temptation, Tie Slag remained indifferent, leaned back, and fell asleep on the pile of supplies.

"Hmph~" Lilith glanced at Iron Slag who was asleep, and muttered to herself, "Even if you give me more money, I won't tell you..."

In fact, Tie Slag only guessed one, but didn't guess the second and third...

For a long time, the female vermin with the regeneration of aphids has been the dream partner of the male vermin, and even all male humans.

Aphids, also known as honey bugs, have a harmonious symbiotic relationship with ants and can secrete honeydew containing sugar.In addition, female aphids not only have strong fecundity and can reproduce ten to thirty generations a year, but also have the ability of "parthenogenetic reproduction" and can become pregnant without males.The particularity of "aphid regeneration" is that, in addition to the ability to regenerate limbs and organs, it also inherits other characteristics of aphids.

However, there are very few female worms with aphid regeneration, and most people don't know the benefits of this ability. In addition, the temple and the world parliament have completely banned the research and discussion on the worm ability, and there are even fewer people who know up.Even Bi Qinglan back then learned the characteristics of this ability only after consulting a large number of ancient books, and she tore these ancient books into pieces on the spot and threw them into the furnace.As a result, there is one less piece of information recording the regeneration of aphids in this world, at least it has disappeared in the temples of the spirit snake lineage.

About half an hour later, the team passed an open field, and the surrounding fog suddenly surged, as if a space distortion had occurred.Seeing this scene, the expressions of the few hunters at the front of the team suddenly changed, and they ran to the rear, shouting loudly: "Run! Run! There are a lot of cemetery marching ants ahead! There are a lot of ants ahead! Cemetery army ants!"

When the roar just fell, the rustling sound rushed towards the face like a huge wave covering the sky, sweeping across the entire area like a hurricane.All of a sudden, even Hagrid, who was always calm, showed a look of fright.

Cemetery army ants, one of the most terrifying existences in the southern cemetery, are at the top of the food chain.Although their individual strength is limited, their number is extremely large, and when they act like a flood that bursts a bank, there is no grass growing at the impact, and bones are everywhere.Even if it is a pack of worms, you have to stay away.

Seeing the discarded supplies and running towards the team members, Iron Slag did not retreat but advanced, spread his membrane wings and leaped into the air, flying forward.

"Chick chick chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi..."

In an instant, an indescribably dense hissing sound came from below.Through the faint mist, one can see densely packed bright red ants crawling on the ground, like a slanting stream of water, which makes one's scalp numb.

The reason why Iron Slag didn't escape was because he had checked the information on the army ants in the cemetery and had a way to deal with it.In terms of numbers alone, no creature can match his scout soldiers.

"Fifth! Fifth!"

While thinking, a rough voice came from behind.Turning his head to look, Hagrid was flapping his membrane wings and flying towards him rapidly.

"Hurry up, you'll die if you fall," Hagrid said hastily.

"It's okay, I have a way to deal with them." After finishing speaking, Iron Slag took off a fragment grenade, bit the tab and smashed it down with a "clang".

Two seconds later, there was a sudden flash of fire below, and there was a loud sound of "Boom!" Countless limbs and broken arms mixed with sand and juice soared into the sky, and the air wave rushed towards the face, lifting a large fog.Immediately afterwards, Iron Slag spat into the center of the explosion with a mouthful of saliva.

After a while, countless smaller red winged ants emerged from the corpses of the marching ants in the cemetery, flapped their membrane wings, and flew into the air.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz..."

A few minutes later, hundreds of scout soldiers formed a red cloud over the army colony.

Looking at the astonishing scene ahead, Hagrid opened his mouth involuntarily.

"on!"

After the assembly was completed, Tie Slag had a thought and directed the soldier ants to launch an attack.Compared with the cemetery army ants the size of a domestic cat, the scout soldier ants are much smaller in size, but because of their small size, the roles of the two sides have been reversed.

The hunter becomes the prey.

"Chick chick chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi chi..."

The soldier ant colony swooped down from above and rushed into the army ant colony.The battle was one-sided from the very beginning, and the cemetery marching ants couldn't do anything about the scouting soldiers on their backs.

Somewhere during the battle, several scout soldier ants raised their long pointed forefeet high and stabbed at the abdomen of the army ants.After fixing their bodies, they opened their sharp mouthparts, leaned over and bit the carapace under them, then twisted their necks desperately, and finally flung their necks hard, tearing open a large wound, and swallowing flesh and blood while injecting new parasitic cells.The next moment, the army ant screamed fiercely, twitched all over, and shrank into a ball on the ground.Not long after, new soldier ants emerged from the wound in its abdomen and rushed towards the next target.

Bite, devour, hatch!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the red tide has turned into hundreds of thousands of thousands, forming an overwhelming trend, sweeping the entire colony of marching ants.

Screaming, struggling, collapsing!
Standing at the top of the food chain in the cemetery, the army ants in the cemetery overlooking all living beings are now like a piece of plump cake, which has been cut to pieces and eaten to pieces.

They were in a mess, fleeing in all directions, in constant panic, until finally, except for some who fled into the depths of the mist, all the rest were killed.
