After the protagonist heard a strange noise above his head, he looked up.
Not far above my head, I saw countless parasitic ants emerging from the branches and leaves of the shrubs. Among them was a large pale gold worker ant.
These parasitic ants did not return to the parasitic ant nest as the protagonist guessed, but instead ambush here. If the Angel King's Legion dares to pursue, then these parasitic ants will jump from the trees when the Angel King's Legion's formation passes by, and take advantage of the confusion of the Angel King's Legion's formation to exert the individual combat effectiveness of the parasitic ants. Advantages, it can also allow thread-parasitic bacteria to cause more damage.
However, the God Envoy King's army did not rush to catch up like ordinary big-headed ants. Instead, the protagonist rode Xiaoqing and flew to the ambush site of the parasitic ants by mistake.
The large pale golden worker ant lurking in the tree suddenly spotted this strange male ant riding on a fly. So, under the command of the large Danjin worker ants, countless parasitic ants emerged from the leaves and branches where they were hiding, and jumped in the direction of the protagonist.
The protagonist has always been relatively safe in aerial reconnaissance. Except for the last time he accidentally hit a spider web, he has never been in danger at other times.
Especially in previous battles with parasitic ants, the enemy is generally unable to detect the protagonist flying high in the sky, and even if it is discovered, there is nothing they can do.
What the protagonist can rely on is the flying height, which is beyond the reach of parasitic ants on the ground; the second is Xiaoqing's keen reaction ability, which can automatically avoid sudden obstacles.
But at this moment, countless parasitic ants jumped down from a higher height. There were so many parasitic ants that it seemed as if a plume of smoke suddenly fell in the air.
No matter climbing, falling, turning or accelerating, it seems that there is no way to escape the enemy's web.
Xiaoqing's huge compound eyes, which can cover almost 360 degrees of viewing angle, also discovered the danger falling from the sky. Without the protagonist's order, it was flapping its wings with all its strength, as if it wanted to rush out of it.
But its ability is also limited, just like a fly that is good at flying and has keen senses, it is difficult to escape the blow of a fly swatter. Because the speed of the fly swatter has exceeded the reaction and escape speed of the fly, and the dense holes on the fly swatter prevent the fly swatter from generating enough airflow to alert the fly.
At the moment, the sneak attacks of countless parasitic ant warriors descending from the sky are like a fly swatter with fine mesh.
Even though Xiaoqing tried his best, a few parasitic ants still fell on it. If the flies were not too small, the consequences would be even more serious.
There were four parasitic ants falling on Xiao Qing's body.
The first parasitic worker ant happened to fall on Xiao Qing's head, and the second parasitic worker ant hit her back immediately, was bounced, and fell to the ground while dancing and spinning.
The first parasitic worker ant was still lying down and luckily didn't fall. The protagonist's quick eyesight and quick hands took advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing and punched her away, causing her to spin and fall.
The third one was a parasitic soldier ant, which landed behind the protagonist. While the protagonist was dealing with the first parasitic ant, it swooped up and bit the protagonist's back from behind. With a strong force, the protagonist's pair of intact but never sent The wings were torn apart.
The fourth parasitic worker ant fell on Xiao Qing's right wing. She bit Xiao Qing's wing with her big jaws. Xiao Qing was unable to flap her wings and maintain flight status, so she staggered and fell to the ground.
The protagonist was on Xiao Qing's back, feeling like the world was spinning. The parasitic soldier ants behind him were also shaken and couldn't find their way around, and they unknowingly let go. The protagonist took the opportunity to reach back, lift the damn soldier ant in front of him, twist his hands to pluck off her head, and then throw the body away.
Xiaoqing was falling, but it was still trying hard to flap its wings, so it was spinning slowly and falling to the ground. The protagonist's hind limbs were tied to Xiao Qing's back with a safety rope. He did not carry the Tao-headed knight's gun that is standard for flying knights, so he could not reach the parasitic ant that was firmly biting the far end of Xiao Qing's wing.
The protagonist hurriedly bent down to untie the safety rope. The moment he untied the safety rope, the protagonist felt a strong force coming from underneath him, and he was ejected.
Xiaoqing fell to the ground, but it adjusted its posture and tried its best to lower the buffer, but it was not a big deal. The protagonist and the parasitic worker ant biting the wing were ejected, along with a small piece of wing held between the jaws of the parasitic worker ant.
Xiaoqing was so frightened that he ignored the fact that the protagonist was not on his back, flapped his wings and flew into the sky. Due to the incomplete wings, he flew staggeringly, but he still flew at an extremely fast speed. Just disappeared.
Now the protagonist is in trouble. Without Xiaoqing, and surrounded by powerful enemies, it will not be easy for him to return to the fortress alive.
At this time, the parasitic worker ant threw away the wing fragments in its mouth and rushed towards the protagonist. The protagonist was furious, so he punched her head flat, leaving various colors of tissue fluid and brain matter on the floor.
Only then did the protagonist have time to look around. The place where he fell was on a rock protruding from the ground beside the dense grass. It was more than one meter away from the bush. Even the large pale gold worker ants could not effectively observe it from this distance. The protagonist saw parasitic ants falling to the ground everywhere under the bushes and scurrying around like headless flies.
"It's safe for now!" The protagonist let out a long breath. The enemy was far away and could not see him yet. He could sneak back to the fortress. It was not far away and he would be safe soon.
As the saying goes: flags cannot be set randomly, the protagonist immediately realized this truth.
After seeing that the parasitic ants under the bushes had begun to send search teams everywhere, the protagonist climbed down the rock decisively and got into the grass nearby.
As for the torn wings, the protagonist has never used them anyway. After a moment of regret, the protagonist tore off the damaged wings.
Using the cover of grass, the protagonist gropes his way forward through a dense forest composed of countless grass stems. There is almost no sunlight here. Countless huge grass blades form a three-dimensional airtight umbrella above his head, with only a small amount of refraction. The reflected light can fall to the ground, barely allowing the protagonist to see the way forward.
With a vague sense of direction, the protagonist has to climb and overcome obstacles on the ground while moving forward.
After just climbing over a branch blocking the road, the protagonist pushed aside the dry leaves in front of him.
A parasitic soldier ant suddenly appeared in front of him, eye to eye with the protagonist, tentacles next to tentacles.
The hostile information transmitted by the tentacles startled the protagonist, but the other party reacted quickly and rushed towards the protagonist with its big jaws.
It's a pity that the protagonist is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, and has a lot of combat experience. The protagonist dodges and follows up with a punch to finish off the enemy in front of him.
After killing the enemy, it seemed as if a switch had been pressed. The sound of dense footsteps suddenly came to mind in the grass and forest.
