What is inside this pair of mysterious balls?
The protagonist wants to open it and take a look, but is afraid of damaging the specimen. What if this pair of balls is one-of-a-kind? What if other mysterious ants don’t have this thing in their bodies? If I destroy it rashly and don't find the answer I want, I'm afraid I will regret it later.
The protagonist thought for a moment and ordered the guards to move all the other corpses nearby, smash them open one by one with a copper hammer, and then let his subordinates dig them up. It turned out that these corpses had two balls connected by chitin threads, and a total of twenty or thirty were found.
It seems that these two balls are not isolated cases, but are commonly found in the bodies of mysterious ants. The origin of the mysterious ants is indeed not simple. These balls are not mutations like tumors, but are commonly found in their bodies.
If these mysterious balls are really man-made, think about an existence that can forcibly implant man-made objects into the bodies of tens of millions of ants. What a huge and terrifying organization this is?
So, does the powerful fighting power displayed by the mysterious ants have something to do with these mysterious balls?
Driven by curiosity, the protagonist asked the guards to try to cut open a ball with a copper jaw knife to see the structure inside. However, the guards found that the small ball was extremely hard and could not be bitten.
Thinking of the hardness of the mysterious ant's outer carapace, the protagonist understands that the shell of this spherical object also has the same defensive power and cannot be damaged by ordinary weapons.
The protagonist simply asked the guards to get out of the way, and then entered the "gods descending to earth" state, swung the copper hammer and hit a ball!
He chose the larger oval-shaped mystery ball.
As the copper hammer fell, the shell of the mysterious ball cracked, and then some light blue liquid flowed out.
There was no abnormality when these liquids flowed through the dark shell, but as soon as they touched the ground, they made a "squeaking" sound, boiling and bubbling like boiling water, and the ground immediately became charred, and the nearby plants immediately became scorched. Wither and die.
These light blue liquids are actually extremely corrosive. The protagonist quickly takes a few steps back, and the other ants around him also follow suit.
At this moment, another sudden change occurred. When the light blue liquid was exposed to the air, it began to glow white. Then the withered plants began to burn. The flames ignited the liquid and followed the liquid. The traces of flow spread and quickly burned into the mysterious ball.
This only happened in two or three breaths. From the moment he saw the fire, the protagonist's heart was already ringing with alarm, and his biological instinct made him aware of the great danger.
At this moment, his mind went blank, and his subconscious took over his body. He immediately ran away backwards and hid behind the plants.
Before the other ants could react, the mysterious ball was completely covered in blue flames and turned into a fireball.
Suddenly, a burst of dazzling white light shone, making this small piece of heaven and earth look like daylight for an instant, and then immediately returned to its original appearance of night.
The brief bright light burned the compound eyes of the warriors of the God Envoy King who were looking at the mysterious ball, but before they could feel the pain of the compound eye burns, a wave of scorching air carrying irresistible power, heat and loud noise swept over them.
This mysterious ball actually exploded!
Like a super mini nuclear bomb, with the mysterious ball as the center, a small mushroom cloud rose up. An area of about one square meter on the ground was completely destroyed by the explosion. The land was scorched black and the vegetation turned into ash. But the area that was originally gathered here was completely destroyed. Dozens of ants had no bones left, and not even ashes were seen.
Ants a little further away were also blown over by the air waves, and the entire grass swayed wildly as if it had experienced a summer storm.
The protagonist saw the opportunity and escaped from the explosion range in time, hiding behind the vegetation, but did not suffer much damage.
But what made him want to cry without tears was that the guard team under his command was almost wiped out because they were too close, and even Hua Mulan disappeared.
After finally calming down the panicked legionnaires, the protagonist led everyone to search the nearby area and counted the battle damage. More than 40 ants were "missing" in the explosion just now, and most of them were elite guards. There may be no bones left. Hua Mulan has never been found, and she probably died among them.
This protagonist was the first subordinate to be subdued when he came to the ant world. He had always been loyal and loyal, but he did not die in peace. He did not die on the battlefield with swords and swords, but died in a strange explosion accident. Nothing in the world is more unpredictable than this.
The protagonist is very sad. Although the explosion just now was an accident, in the final analysis it was the mistake made by the protagonist, and dozens of subordinates paid for it with their lives.
After calming down for a while, the protagonist asked his subordinates to retrieve dozens of mysterious balls that were blown away by the explosion. Fortunately, these exploding mysterious balls did not have a chain reaction due to the explosion just now, otherwise it would just be a mysterious ball. The ball explodes like a micron nuclear bomb, with flashes of light, heat waves, and mushroom clouds. If they all exploded, the three legions gathered here would be in danger.
The battlefield was briefly cleaned again, and some wounded soldiers were allowed to return to the [Bridgehead] on their own under the escort of a small number of troops. The remaining mysterious balls were also sent back.
The protagonist has temporarily given up on studying these mysterious balls. If you don't break the mysterious balls, you won't be able to see their secrets. However, if you forcefully break them, they will explode. The protagonist is temporarily at his wits' end.
Fortunately, the properties of these mysterious balls are quite stable, and nothing will happen if they are not smashed open. Otherwise, the mysterious ants would explode themselves every day, and they would not have the invincible ability to sweep across the north bank of the river.
The regrouped Legion of the God Envoy King was no longer divided into forwards and defenders, but all gathered together. There were still more than two complete legions left, advancing towards [Target A] under the guidance of scouts.
It seemed that the number of mysterious ants surrounding [Target A] was small and scattered. The mysterious ants that had just been destroyed in the grass were already the only garrison in this direction. The scouts found no trace of other mysterious ants nearby.
After the God Envoy King's army left for a while, the sky finally brightened, and the ant world ushered in a new day.
About half an hour later, a team of hundreds of mysterious ants hurriedly arrived at the battlefield and explosion site.
They are collecting corpses on the battlefield everywhere, whether they are from mysterious ants or big-headed ants, they will never let them go.
But after discovering that some mysterious ant corpses were broken open and the mysterious balls inside disappeared, these ants stopped in place and kept shaking their bodies as if they were electrocuted. Then they suddenly and frantically tore apart the corpses that had lost the mysterious balls, and then took the remaining remains with them. The corpses were lying down and left towards the north.
