The day that made the protagonist extremely irritable has finally passed.
At dusk, the army of parasitic beasts began to retreat, and soon they disappeared as if they had never appeared before. Under the setting sun, only the bruised ant mounds of [Swamp City] were left, telling the story of the day.
The protagonist hurriedly took advantage of the light to inspect the ant mound. Fortunately, although the appearance of the ant mound was terrible, there were many damages caused by the bites of the parasitic locusts. There were still fragments of the mouthparts and blood of the parasitic locusts, but there were no injuries. Muscles move bones. The thick concrete shell of ants is not yet something that these locusts can bite through with their mouthparts.
The parasitic dragon louse has caused even greater trouble. There is a lot of water in the depression where the bottom of the ant mound is connected to the tree stump. The long-term impact and soaking of the water flow has caused the ant concrete here to show signs of softening. If this continues, this area The outer wall may collapse at any time.
The protagonist quickly instructs the soldiers of the God Envoy King to come out to work. While holding water droplets in their big jaws to remove the accumulated water, they repaired the damage with new ant concrete and used some locally available building materials, such as sawdust, grass tendons and very scarce stones. Reinforce areas of facades frequently exposed to water cannon attacks.
Today's fly knight also arrived soon as scheduled, bringing good news.
The scientific research team of Xiao Mi II has already started to make crossbow weapons. With the previous technical reserves, according to the protagonist's design, a torsion crossbow using locust tendon as the power storage material is being produced and assembled.
Tinder nuts are also being made and will arrive escorted by the Flying Knights in about a day or two, and the Bee Flying Knights have also selected them.
In addition, the flying knights also reported that it is unknown whether due to the battle between the Angel King's army and the army of parasitic beasts, the frequency and number of parasitic ant troops appearing around the swamp area have decreased, which has made the already exhausted indigenous hunter ants The coalition forces had a chance to breathe.
During the two days of fighting, the protagonist did not find many parasitic ants on the other side. Anyway, the parasitic ants cannot threaten [Swamp City]. The ones that need to worry about now are the parasitic beasts that can fly, jump and swim.
Because of the war, the ants who originally stayed at night and emerged during the day had to change their habits. Taking advantage of the night, the ants are working hard.
The moonlight is bright. At night, the fog that shrouds the swamp seems to have dispersed. The moonlight shines on the water, with silvery waves. Reeds and calamus sway in the wind. The fishy smell in the water mixes with the sweet fragrance of lotus. Together, we have a beautiful scenery.
In the distance, the hissing or squeaking sounds of songbugs form a symphony. Nearby, the ants are working hard to the soundtrack of the night.
In addition to repairing the outer walls of the ant mound, the ants also collect food and supplies at night.
After being attacked for two consecutive days, the ants' work came to a standstill. If this continues, the food and supplies will be depleted very quickly. This is a more serious threat to the defenders who are alone overseas and in short supply than the enemy's attack.
The ants who collect food search for insects that have strayed into the island and use simple tools to capture the insects in the water.
The body of the dragonfly that was killed by the protagonist during the day was stranded on the shore, and the ants worked together to drag it ashore - such a big dragonfly should be enough for the ants to eat.
But the reality is disappointing. The parasitic dragonfly with its half body soaked in water has no trace of the parasitic bacteria on its body. The torso is full of wounds, and the muscles, fat and internal organs inside also have signs of being eaten.
I don’t know what creature in the water made it. The protagonist guesses that it is those parasitic water spiders or other parasitic beasts, because when the parasitic beasts appear, other normal insects around them stay away and will never come to the fierce battlefield to find them. Food.
The ants can only collect the remaining edible parts, and these raw meats must be eaten first. Now the ants cannot go out to dry the dried meat during the day, and in the humid climate of the swamp, the raw meat will quickly become moldy. Only when the fire is delivered can the ants bake dried meat and preserve the food for a longer period of time.
In addition to the edible meat, the protagonist also had a whim, asking the ants to remove the strong carapace of the dragonfly along the natural gaps and spread it in the areas most severely attacked by the parasitic dragonfly water cannon, just like paving part of the ant mound. It looks like a carapace that shines with metallic luster. This layer of "armor" can buffer the impact of water cannons and somewhat extend the life of some ant mound exterior walls.
The ants were busy all night!
——I am the dividing line——
The next day, not long after the weather completely cooled down, another batch of parasitic beasts appeared on the other side of [Swamp City].
The protagonist noticed that today's enemies still include parasitic dragonflies, damselflies, locusts, etc., but there are no parasitic dragonflies. This is really good news. In addition, previously unseen species such as parasitic cockroaches and centipedes appeared in the enemy's army.
After three days of observation, the protagonist basically determined that the enemies appeared differently every day.
It's no wonder that these parasitic beasts obviously still need to forage to ensure their survival, and it is impossible to spend all their time attacking [Swamp City]. Based on existing intelligence analysis, although the parasitic ants and parasitic beasts in the swamp act together, they do not share food.
This is good news for the Angel King's army. At least the enemy cannot gather all their strength to attack, and most of their time and energy still have to be spent on foraging.
But when the protagonist thought about it, he shuddered - the parasitic beasts can dispatch dozens of different individuals every day, so how many are there in total?
No matter what, the Divine Envoy King's army has arrived in this area and will not leave until they completely eliminate the enemy and conquer this place.
The enemy's attack today was nothing new. Since the parasitic dragon louse did not appear, the water cannon attack that threatened the outer wall finally stopped today. The few parasitic locusts, grasshoppers, water spiders, etc. that can reach the [Swamp City] ant mound are still biting the shell in vain, but except for the locusts' well-developed mouthparts that can pose a certain threat, other parasitic beasts pose little threat.
What makes the protagonist more disgusting is the appearance of several parasitic cockroaches in the enemy camp. These black, flat-bodied, disgusting-looking insects are exactly the same as the American cockroaches in the human world. They are not comparable to those "little strong" insects in the north. Each one is bigger than a kidney bean.
These parasitic cockroaches can actually swim and easily crossed the water and climbed onto the outer wall of the ant mound in [Swamp City].
A parasitic cockroach seemed to have discovered something. Its long tentacles extended into the protagonist's bedroom through the window. It groped inside and almost touched the protagonist who almost got goosebumps (it doesn't have this function)!
This makes the protagonist unbearable!
