Chapter 671 Intensifying
Although the Eris demon ants reproduce quickly and in large numbers, their individual strength is not strong. Only leader-level demon ants can grow into strong men comparable to high-level demons. Ant kings and queens can spread from the blood of the ant colony. Absorbing feedback from the will of the group in the underworld, he grew into a being comparable to a demon lord or even a demon god.
However, such an ant colony is at least a behemoth that can expand the colony to an entire continent or even a plane. It is far beyond the comparison of Yasi, a newborn ant queen. Its tribe suffered heavy losses. After years of recovery, it only managed to breed over a hundred thousand people. Tens of thousands more died this time, which can be said to have damaged its vitality. In addition, it felt that Rose's mission had not been completed satisfactorily, so her heart became more and more unsatisfactory. There is no confidence.
Rose also understands that ordinary Eris demon ants are only a little stronger than ordinary wild monsters. If they fight, relying on the leader's command and the instinctive discipline of the zerg can still win more, but once they are contaminated by the evil god's bodily fluids, they can win. It was vulnerable to such a group attack that it could not resist at all, so I didn't blame it too much.
However, she felt that she had indeed underestimated the weirdness and difficulty of the evil god's bodily fluids. At that time, she only wanted to disrupt the human race's border defenses, but she did not expect that the plan had not yet succeeded, and her own power had lost some money first. In addition, she had previously intended to control Yang Jiao. The plot of her forces failed. In a short period of time, she, who was so high-spirited in the Abyss Demon Realm, encountered setbacks one after another, which cast a haze over her originally confident heart.
"Tell me, which batch of insect eggs has mutated, or have all the eggs in all areas mutated? Don't try to hide it, don't talk nonsense, tell it carefully!" A trace of uneasiness flashed in Rose's heart, asked sharply.
"I dare not deceive the Spider Queen. Although the insect eggs sent to other areas were a little strange, they were still barely stable under the magic seal. A few crazy magic ants were discovered and eliminated, without affecting the final delivery. At least that's the case until we find a place to bury her." Yasi said, gradually calming down and speaking more fluently, but there was still a look of fear in her eyes.
"Only the batch of insect eggs sent to Yingyangguan, the border town at the edge of the Song Dynasty and the northern grassland, probably because the distance was too far and the transportation time was too long, the power of the evil god seeped out of the seal, and they polluted me a lot. The subordinates responsible for transporting the eggs - after they hid the eggs, they all smashed their heads and died! The remaining demon ants also started killing each other crazily. Only the last few of the team escaped by chance and reported the situation to Kill me." Yasi's voice revealed fear.
"According to them, the dead bodies all shriveled up quickly, as if all the essence of life had been sucked out of thin air, and where the insect eggs were buried, there seemed to be strange black shadows spreading... ·And within a few days, these subordinates who were lucky enough to come back also went crazy and blew themselves up."
"It's so weird. The power of the evil god cannot be easily touched." After listening to Yasi's narration, Rose couldn't help but marvel. She originally wanted to control those insect eggs that would hatch into demonic insects and use them many times in the future. Now it seems that the pollution from the power of the evil god is too powerful and can even spread through the air. If it gets contaminated, even she will not be seen. You have to be able to get rid of it - there are also demon gods and demon lords in the abyss demon world who try to use the power of the evil god, but instead become completely crazy.
Those evil fallen insect eggs were added with ingredients by her, and now that something like this has happened, coupled with the weirdness of the evil god's body fluids, it's not known whether they can still be controlled by the devil. Thinking of this, the uneasy premonition in Rose's heart became more and more intense. She frowned slightly and did not care about recuperation. She immediately ordered the ant queen Yasi to gather her subordinates and move the insect nest away from the place where the evil fallen insect eggs were placed to avoid implicated.
Yasi originally thought that she would be scolded by Rose for not doing things well, but she didn't expect that Rose had no intention of scolding it. She was so happy that she immediately drilled the hole and left, returning to the nest to make arrangements for relocation.
And Rose rested for two more days below. After recovering her damaged body, she quietly disappeared outside Jiangnan City. When she saw that the city was heavily fortified, the city protection formation was always on, and there would be monks coming and going in the city from time to time. Dunguang and Fayun had no chance to assassinate or take away Yang Jiao, so they simply gave up their thoughts of revenge against Yang Jiao and returned to the Western Demon Legion's base to start deploying the next plot.
While Rose was still recuperating underground, a fierce battle was going on at the edge of the grassland thousands of miles away, under Yingyang Pass.
Hundreds of thousands of prairie barbarians formed several huge camps, surrounding a majestic Guancheng covering an area of ten miles. These people generally don't wear shoes and socks, and wear tattered leather jackets. They have thick hair all over their bodies, and sharp nails on their hands and feet. They are all tall and tall, and their faces and even bodies are covered with strange scales or markings. They look like five-quarters of a human being. Like a beast, full of savage ferocity.
These are the barbaric races living in the northern grasslands, the grassland barbarians, also known as Beiyi people. They were originally nomadic people living in the grasslands. However, the grasslands lacked resources and lacked civilization, so they were generally barbaric and vulgar. They also liked to go south to rob, so they were often scorned as barbarians by the people of the Central Plains Dynasty who suffered deeply from them.
However, because the practitioners among them inherited the fierce and bloody spells of the ancient witch clan and their own local shamanism, they often sacrificed blood to living beings to absorb energy to enhance themselves and their tribe's strength, and they were also affected by the evil energy deliberately spread by demons and magic gates. , so in recent years, they have become more cruel and evil, and even their racial constitution has undergone slight changes, and they have begun to develop in the direction of demonizing the human race. The name of "barbarians" has become more and more worthy of the name.
Along with the horns in the camp, groups of barbarians were gathered, carrying weapons and a small amount of siege equipment. Under the bloodthirsty spell of the accompanying shaman, each one stared with blood-red eyes and shouted at the surrounding people. Ying Yangguan rushed away.
However, Yingyang Pass, as the border city closest to the grassland, was given the important task of monitoring the movements of the grassland barbarians and demon legions nearby. Therefore, since the advent of the demonic disaster, it has been expanded and reinforced many times, and now it is already a strong and strong city.
I saw a green light rising in the city and spreading quickly. All the soldiers swept by the green light were all energetic and high-spirited. They quickly and skillfully operated rolling wooden stones, golden juice and hot oil and other defensive equipment to attack the city. After repelling barbarian attacks one after another, occasionally some fish with strong martial arts slipped through the net and were surrounded and killed by elite soldiers with well-equipped armor.
The offensive and defensive battle lasted for two full hours, but the prairie barbarians made no progress and left thousands of corpses behind. They had to withdraw their troops, but they still surrounded Yingyang Pass and did not retreat. Due to the tight siege, the general guarding Yingyang Pass did not dare to switch and send out sentries to detect intelligence, lest someone take advantage of him.
The blood flowing from the corpses of the barbarians scattered outside the city slowly and secretly gathered deep into the earth under an evil force.
