Immortal Path Evergreen

Chapter 72: Protracted War

The communication among the ants relies first on the queen's spiritual command, and secondly, they can only use their five senses.

The hearing, vision, and smell of fire crystal ants are all relatively slow. The only thing worthy of praise is their touch. Relying on mutual contact, they can accurately transmit information.

Now that the formation has taken effect, there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, and the queen's consciousness has been suppressed for the most part.

The five Zhang Zhixuan can rely on the formation flags to communicate with each other in the formation.

Fourth Uncle Zhang Menglong quickly sent out a signal, and several people quickly gathered in his direction according to the direction.

Zhang Menglong kept changing the position of the formation disk, and several people quickly joined together to kill the scattered fire crystal ants.

Every time a fire crystal ant is hunted, the power of the ant colony can be weakened a little bit. Even though it is only a small amount, when the small amount adds up to a large amount, it can penetrate the stone and eventually completely eliminate the ant colony.

This was a long battle, with several people trying to save mana while trying their best to hunt down every fire crystal ant.

This battle lasted for three days and three nights. Zhang Zhixuan and the other four had no choice but to take three rejuvenation pills one after another and restore their mana three times before killing most of the fire crystal ants.

As of now, the number of fire crystal ants is less than three thousand.

Fourth Uncle Zhang Menglong wiped his sweat tiredly and said: "The spiritual stones placed in the formation are almost exhausted, you must replenish some as soon as possible.

Once the spirit stones are exhausted, the power of the formation will slowly weaken. Even if a few of us are intact, there will be nothing we can do against the Queen Ant. "

After fighting for three consecutive days, even an iron man would be very tired, and the fourth uncle was already over eighty years old. Even though the monk's body was far superior to that of ordinary people, he had gone downhill after all, and mentally he was far inferior to the other four.

Zhang Zhixuan also felt tired now. He panted and said: "Fourth Uncle, this is not the way to go. We will not be able to consume the ant tide after all. Even if we are all exhausted, it is impossible to kill all the fire crystal ants.

Otherwise, we should quit and rest for a few days, wait until we recover our mana, and then fight the guerrilla battle against the fire crystal ants.

As long as we can kill thirty fire crystal ants every day, the queen will have no soldiers left in a month or two. "

The fourth uncle smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know that the queen ant can speed up the laying of eggs in an emergency.

According to the spiritual insect genealogy, a third-level queen ant can lay 3,000 insect eggs at one time in a critical situation.

Even if only half of these eggs survive, under the Queen's unsparing cultivation, they can launch their poisonous stings in three days.

A normal queen can lay eggs at this critical moment for more than a dozen times. So, we only have three days.

Now we are still containing the queen ant. Once we go back to rest and restore her mana, the queen ant will also go back to lay eggs. When we come back, she will have thousands of ant troops under her command.

At that time, our hard work for more than half a year will be in vain. "

Uncle Fifteen had just recovered from his injury, but his energy was still a little weak. Every time he took a shot, he consumed more mana. After accumulating so far, he only had 10% of his mana left, so he said anxiously: "But, There is no way we can continue to spend our time like this. Even if we can kill one or two thousand soldier ants, when our mana is exhausted, we will have no chance of winning against the queen."

Seeing that Uncle Fifteen's mana was about to be exhausted, Zhang Zhixuan immediately said: "In this case, I think it is better to take turns to rest. For the time being, four people will besiege the ants and try their best to put pressure on the queen to prevent her from resuming laying eggs.

The order of restoring mana is Uncle Fifteen, Uncle Ninth, Aunt Eighteen, and me, Aunt Hanyan, what do you think? "

After listening to Zhang Zhixuan's opinion, a few people nodded. Things are already like this, and there is no other good way for the time being. We can only do this.

As a result, the fifteenth uncle began to withdraw from the range of the formation. He was on guard while recovering his mana. After his mana had recovered to 30 to 40%, he joined the battle group again and replaced the fourth uncle.

At this time, Fourth Uncle's mana was about to be exhausted, and everyone could only try their best to share some of the pressure for him.

At this point in the battle, the spiritual talismans on the five people have been completely exhausted, and the spare rejuvenation pills have also been used up. Now they are using every ounce of strength, gritting their teeth to support, squeezing the potential of this body to the limit.

The fourth uncle's mana had only recovered two levels. Because he was worried about everyone, he joined the battle group again and replaced the eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin.

By this time, the number of ants in the colony no longer exceeds 2,000.

Two thousand fire crystal ants are scattered over a radius of more than ten miles, and they are somewhat scattered.

Seeing this situation, the fourth uncle immediately adjusted his strategy and said: "The four of us disperse quickly and attack the ant colony from four directions. We must try our best to attract and mobilize them, and we must not let them form a group.

After everyone separates, be careful and try to save mana. "

The four of them spread out and began to attract a group of fire crystal ants.

At this time, the fire crystal ants that besieged them were divided into more than a dozen groups. Each group only numbered more than a hundred. With more than a hundred poisonous stingers, it was no longer possible to kill them with one blow.

Because he was worried about everyone, Zhang Mengqin's magic power was only restored by 2% and he replaced Zhang Zhixuan.

This protracted battle has continued until now. Zhang Zhixuan's mana has been completely exhausted. After the fight, he has begun to fight hand-to-hand with the fire crystal ants. The inner armor of the demonic beast on his body has better defense, and he has not encountered the third-level ant queen. Otherwise, your life hangs on a thread.

Zhang Zhixuan thankfully left the formation and immediately grabbed a medium-grade spirit stone to restore his mana. Although he was already extremely tired, he only recovered 10% of his mana before he immediately entered the formation to replace Zhang Hanyan.

Zhang Hanyan had good spiritual roots and was not short of resources for cultivation. She had been cultivating to the ninth level of Qi training for more than five years, and her mana was more refined than Zhang Zhixuan.

Among the five people present, she had the strongest foundation, and the power of the ice spirit root cultivation method was not small. She was also a little restrained against spiritual insects such as fire crystal ants, and was the cultivator who killed the most fire crystal ants.

But she was not an iron man after all. She was the last one to rest. Her mana was completely exhausted. Until now, she could only avoid the siege of fire crystal ants in a panic, and there was a lot of blood on her body.

When Zhang Zhixuan entered the formation, she was already at the end of her strength.

In this way, the fierce and cruel war of attrition continued. Zhang Zhixuan, who was killing directly, was weak in his hands and feet, and his whole body was sore. His body was like a conditioned reflex to kill the fire crystal ants one by one, and his nerves had long been numb.

After continuous killing, the number of fire crystal ants has been less than one thousand.

At this point, not only did Zhang Zhixuan and his men feel exhausted, but even the queen of the fire crystal ants also felt uneasy.

With the rapid decrease in the number of populations, their competitiveness will decline rapidly.

Even if Zhang Zhixuan and his men leave now, their strength will weaken, and they may not be able to occupy this sacred mountain safely.

The queen finally panicked and left the ant colony and returned to the nest.

Without the queen's command, the fire crystal ant colony quickly became very chaotic.

At this point, Zhang Zhixuan and his four men finally breathed a sigh of relief.
