Under her skillful and precise movements, the iron filings slid down one after another. The pattern carved on it is called "rune circuit", which can increase the speed of spiritual energy diversion. Chen Xing looked at it and felt a little strange. The material of this gun was very ordinary. It was not mixed with mithril. Even if it was engraved with rune circuits, it would not have any effect.
About half an hour later, Aaliyah put down the carving knife and stretched, looking like she was done.
Chen Xing frowned when he saw this, and was about to raise a question when he saw the former take out the medicine box, take out a silver needle, bite it lightly with his silver teeth, and prick his finger.
A blood bead that seemed to have a golden snake swimming around and surrounded by red flames fell into the rune circuit and spread rapidly, like flowing lava and molten iron.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Xing was extremely horrified. He didn't expect that the blood of the Flame Demon could be used in this way. It was really strange.
"It's easier for him." As if there wasn't enough blood, she muttered and squeezed out an extra drop.
Not long after, the blood filled the entire rune circuit, emitting an orange-red glow, as if there was a trace of heat rushing towards him. After a while, the dim light gradually faded away, and the blood disappeared without a trace.
Aaliyah took out some more tools, dismantled the gun, polished the parts one by one, put them back together, and finally added a triple scope.
"Don't say I did it." Aaliyah handed the gun to Chen Xing and said unhappily, seeming to feel that she was at a loss.
"Of course, this is a little secret between us." Chen Xingpei said with a smile. As soon as I took it over and injected a small amount of psychic energy, I noticed a change.
First, the speed of energy storage increased significantly; secondly, he felt that part of the spiritual energy was converted into heat energy. Although the total energy remained unchanged, heat energy was more effective for most mutated creatures, such as living corpses, corpse dogs, etc. .
After coming out of Aaliyah, Chen Xing went to the pharmacy again, exchanged all the gold coins exchanged for the four gold bricks for enhancement potions, then sent the three gold bricks to the mayor's mansion, and then returned to the underground water station to concentrate on improving his strength. .
During this period, Chen Xing asked Su Na to move north as soon as possible, away from the No. 65 underground survival shelter and Orchid Town, and dig new ant nests to avoid future danger and being unable to retreat in time.
Not to mention the steam giant silkworm inside the iron gate, maybe it won't be long before someone discovers the underground survival shelter. At that time, forces from various places will send people to station, and the area around Orchid Town will become unsafe, and the ant nest may be discovered at any time.
But as long as Suna moves twenty kilometers north and then digs out the original ant nest, she will not attract the attention of the powerful. After all, there are so many ant nests like this on the Red Earth Continent. Unless it is related to the No. 65 Underground Survival Center, no one is interested in going deep underground and struggling with a nest of ants.
In the midst of injecting medicine and exercising, time passed unconsciously...
Half a month later, Suna ate all the corpses of the burrowing wolf spider. Not only did her belly gain weight, but she also grew a hard carapace.
Today, she is like a container truck covered with steel plates, armed to the teeth. The carapace on the insect's belly is smooth and translucent. When rifle bullets hit it, all the bullets bounced away, leaving only a shallow scratch. And her vitality, after absorbing the Golden Spider Queen, exceeded 1,800 points and was close to 2,000 points.
In addition, her top pair of sickle-segmented legs have also undergone fundamental changes. They were originally just larger than the other legs, but now they have become extremely thick, dozens of times the size of the other legs. A single stroke of the sickle can break granite.
Su Na seemed to have endless strength to dig the tunnel herself and move to the north. The excavated soil is transported by worker ants to the original nest for filling.
During this period, Chen Xing has also improved a lot. His strength has increased by 3 points, now it is 18, his agility has increased by 4 points, now it is 25, his constitution has increased by 2 points, now it is 12, and his spiritual power has remained unchanged, still 15. .
This strength is only one step away from the standard elite level. However, his strength growth is getting lower and lower, and he is almost ready to use intermediate potions. My talent is too low and I have no choice but to make up for it with money.
In early October, the weather began to turn cooler and the air became drier.
Quick returned to the water station and said that he had contacted a tribe that was willing to relocate, but Chen Xing had to be present and reach an agreement with the chief. He marked the specific address on the map, and then left, heading to the next tribe.
Chen Xing spent two days adjusting his physical condition and preparing to enter the depths of the wilderness.
But before he even set out, something big happened, causing him to cancel his trip.
The worker ants exploring the path actually dug an underground ant nest more than 20 kilometers north of the underground water station.
It was a nest of mutated red ants. Compared with termites, red ants are smaller in size, but their fighting power is much stronger. On average, it takes 1.5 termite workers to compete with one red ant worker.
Since both sides are experts at digging holes, once they encounter each other, it will be a fight to the death. Only one queen ant is allowed to exist in the same area.
Chen Xing quickly pulled out the encyclopedia and started looking it up.
[Mutated fire ant, scientific name: Abyssal fire ant]
[Native place: Abyss plane]
[Distribution area: Multiverse carbon life zone]
[Habits: Crowd creature]
[Traits: Psychic Affinity, Sulfur Affinity, Telepathy]
[Introduction: This creature lives in groups on the cliffs of the bottomless abyss. It is an omnivorous creature. It has venom glands in its body and is released through the stinger on its tail. It can skillfully absorb and use spiritual energy. It likes to swallow sulfur. It has a pair of fire lungs and can Spewing out high-temperature flames...]
After watching for a long time, Chen Xing discovered that the biggest difference between mutant red fire ants and mutant termites lies in the decomposition and absorption of materials, as well as the difference in combat effectiveness. The former has strong combat power and has a variety of attack methods, while the latter seems to have no other means except to bite with ant pincers. But the latter is extremely adaptable. When it grows up, it can eat anything, eat whatever is available, and can even devour the entire planet.
It can only be said that each has its own advantages, but at this stage, the mutant fire ants have great advantages.
What's more, Suna's side suffered a series of losses, and just after defeating the spider swarm, many more were killed. It can be said that it was a critical moment of life and death.
Chen Xing naturally couldn't leave, so he quickly went down to the ant nest and fought side by side with Su Na.
Fire ants move very quickly, and in less than five hours, they have entered the deepest part of the ant nest.
A large number of termites guard outside the incubation room to prevent fire ants from harming the eggs. These are the foundations of the anthill, and once they are hit, they are devastating.
Of course, because of Chen Xing's existence, there would be no problem even if Su Na was the only one left. But if there is no external intervention, the queen ant who has lost her people will have difficulty even finding food.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" "Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Fire ants are only one-half the size of termites, but they are extremely fast. They are densely packed and crawling all over the corridor, rushing towards them.
Without saying a word, Chen Xing opened the ring of the incendiary grenade with a "ding" sound and smashed it into the corridor.
Only a "fire" sound was heard, the flames filled the tunnel, the fire ants screamed in pain, and bursts of burning smell assaulted the nostrils.
