"The wind is coming"!
Chu Xin waved his hand, and the yellow scarf magicians scattered in all directions received the order and quickly displayed their special skill, Yao Feng.
In an instant, the sky darkened, and the howling black wind surged up from all around, instantly surrounding the unprepared group of black and golden birds.
The changes happened so fast that even though Black Golden Bird reacted quickly, he didn't have time to break out of the black wind.
This delay caused them to completely fall into the black wind. The black and golden birds suddenly lost their sense of direction and rushed left and right, but it was difficult to fly out of the black wind.
"Whoosh", accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, the shooting camp behind Chu Xin bent its bow and condensed its arrows, and shot through the air with cloud arrows.
There were also thunderous roars of lightning, which was the thunder-inducing technique of the Yellow Turban magician.
The Black Golden Bird is small and very responsive. Under normal circumstances, it is an extremely difficult target to hit.
But being shielded by the black wind, these black sparrows completely lost their perception of the surrounding environment, and did not realize the crisis until the attack was approaching.
In a hurry, it is naturally difficult to escape completely.
The Black Golden Bird's own defense ability is not weak, but the Shesheng Battalion's attack is a half-energy, half-spiritual will type of damage. The physical defense they are proud of does not have much effect.
The cloud arrows penetrated directly into the heads of the black golden sparrows, taking away their lives in an instant.
Some of the unlucky ones who were hit by the lightning-inducing technique were even worse, falling from the air with their bodies covered in charred black.
Under the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban Magician and the Shesheng Battalion, the Black Golden Birds fell from the sky one after another like dumplings.
In less than ten minutes, the colony of more than a hundred black finches was almost wiped out.
Except for a few or two lucky people, who were lucky enough to break out of the black wind's blockade, the birds flew high in the sky, and quickly escaped from here, which was considered a lucky escape.
However, I guess they don't have the guts to come back to this place again.
After wiping out the group of black golden birds, Chu Xin opened the map and checked it. Unfortunately, there was no explorable icon, which meant that there were no war rewards.
I don't know whether the Black Golden Bird is not strong enough or the population is too small. Chu Xin had the impression that all the five-star abyss snake demons had discovered things.
He reorganized his staff and started heading towards the next location where the fire ants were.
Compared with black siskins, fire ants are more troublesome to deal with, mainly due to their huge population.
There are nearly a thousand fire ants, and their strength is not too weak. It is no less than a small war.
Therefore, the team to encircle and suppress fire ants must be larger.
The corpse monks who stayed in the bone burial ground, as well as the mountain bears, thunder bears and other creatures that were good at magic were all called over.
The individual fire ants are average in strength and small in size. If they use a range of spells, they will definitely die in large numbers.
Chu Xin led the team to a place a thousand meters away from the fire ant nest. Looking at the nest from a distance, a large number of fire ants were coming in and out, looking busy.
It can be clearly seen that the land above the fire ant nest is dark red and full of hot atmosphere.
The land was bare, not a blade of grass growing.
The land in this area has been transformed by fire ants into an environment suitable for them to live in. It contains a large amount of fire elements. Except for the rare fire-friendly plants, it is difficult for ordinary plants to survive in this environment. .
"Do you eat these ants?" Chu Xin looked at the iron scales at her feet and asked curiously.
Pangolins have ants in their diet, and their iron scales are somewhat similar to a variant of pangolins. I wonder if their habits will be similar.
Iron Scales shook its head, showing resistance. It only likes to eat minerals that are rich in metal elements.
Chu Xin knew that she was overthinking, so she didn't ask any more questions and used her spirit to explore the situation over the fire ant nest.
The range of his precise mental manipulation is about three hundred meters, but a relatively simple mental exploration like this can still cover a wider range.
Therefore, Chu Xin could also detect the general situation of the fire ant nest thousands of meters away through mental exploration.
Near the nest, on the ground and underground, there are fire ants the size of fists, densely packed in dark red, and the number is quite alarming.
After simple observation and the detection results on the map, Chu Xin learned that fire ants are roughly divided into three types.
The worker ants, who are responsible for carrying food and taking care of various things in the nest, are small and slightly weak, generally around two stars;
The soldier ants responsible for hunting have well-developed upper jaws, strong aggression, and average strength of three stars;
Then there are the war ants who are responsible for guarding the nest and the queen. They are about three times the size of the worker ants. Their individual strength is relatively strong, reaching four stars, but their number is small, only about forty or fifty.
As for the queen ant in the center, her strength has actually reached five stars.
It has to be said that the overall strength of this fire ant colony is much stronger than Chu Xin expected.
The queen ant is the center of the entire ant colony, responsible for laying eggs and managing the entire ant colony, just like the mother insect of the insect tribe.
Ants themselves are insects, and naturally follow a similar system to that used by the Zerg, constantly plundering nearby resources to strengthen their own group.
This group of fire ants is very aggressive, perhaps because of their huge population, which gives them full confidence.
Chu Xin sensed a four-star black-armored centipede passing near the fire ant nest, and was instantly surrounded by a group of fire ants.
In just a moment, it was dismantled into pieces of food and transported back to the nest, leaving only pieces of black carapace on the ground.
Chu Xin can guarantee that if the fire ants are strong enough, they will not hesitate to attack his territory.
Fortunately, the fire ant colony has not grown yet. More than a thousand ants are actually nothing to the ant tribe.
Chu Xin got closer again, and entered the fire ant nest unscrupulously to explore. The mental power of these ants was very weak, including the fire ant queen, so the fire ant nest was completely to his spirit. Like open.
After more than ten minutes of exploration, Chu Xin finally determined the location of the fire ant queen.
Which one is easier to deal with, a tribe of fire ants with brains or a tribe of fire ants with no brains? Chu Xin thinks it is the latter.
He patted the iron scales and went directly into the ground.
Under Chu Xin's guidance, one person and one beast quickly approached from the underground to a position less than ten meters away from the fire ant queen. This distance, even with the obstruction of soil, was enough to ensure the damage of Chu Xin's mental attack.
In fact, it is possible for fire ants to find them in this location.
However, Chu Xin is not worried at all. Fire ants are not completely underground creatures, and digging is not their specialty. The entire tribe of fire ants combined may not be able to catch up with the iron scales underground.
In this situation, even if the Fire Ant Queen discovers Chu Xin, there is nothing she can do about it.
On the one hand, it was impossible to quickly find them underground, and on the other hand, the huge body of the fire ant queen was not easy to move.
In fact, it would be easier for the grass ball to take action, but at this moment, the little guy was already asleep, and Chu Xin did not wake it up.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt." Chu Xin confirmed the position of the fire ant queen above her head, and a thick spiritual spear quickly took shape, walking through the soil and heading straight for the fire ant queen.
The feeling of mental power traveling through the soil is completely different from that in the air. It is almost stagnant and the resistance is great.
But Chu Xin's mental power was extremely tenacious, and under his control, the mental spear stabbed towards the Fire Ant Queen very steadily.
At this time, the fire ant queen has actually noticed the crisis coming from the underground, but in order to lay eggs, its body has become extremely large due to continuous feeding, and it can only watch the attack approaching.
The war ants guarding nearby noticed something unusual about the fire ant queen, but they couldn't feel the spiritual spear and didn't know how to deal with it.
With a painful scream, the fire ant queen's movements to escape suddenly stopped, and her whole body lay down.
The busy fire ant tribe suddenly fell silent, and all the fire ants stopped what they were doing. After a short period of sluggishness, the entire ant colony seemed to have lost control and rioted crazily.
Without a ruler or a breeder, this would be disastrous for an ant tribe.
At the fire ant nest, it was like a blowout, with fire ants pouring out crazily.
In this chaotic situation, they unleashed their attacking nature, sweeping towards the vicinity like a torrent.
Swarms of ants rushed out of the ant nest, destroying everything they saw. The scene was red and the sound was extremely terrifying.
They violently devoured every living thing on every inch of land they passed, whether it was insects or plants, everything was swept away.
An ant colony that has lost control of its queen is like an angry bull, attacking everything in sight.
In this case, most fire ant colonies will gradually die out in chaos. Only with a very small chance of being lucky enough to accept a new queen, can the tribe continue to exist.
"You asked for this!" Chu Xin was originally going to let the fire ants wander outside, but unexpectedly they swarmed towards the territory.
In this case, he would naturally not be polite and start directly.
It just so happens that the Black Golden Bird didn't get the war reward, so the Fire Ant here should give it some face.
The Yellow Turban magician directly used the demonic wind, swallowing up the incoming torrent.
The fire ants that were rushing forward suddenly lost their sense of direction, and the originally relatively united troops began to fall apart.
The demonic wind of the Yellow Turban Magician is surprisingly effective against these strange beasts with weak mental strength and low IQ.
The mountain bear's ground thorns, the thunder bear's lightning, and the corpse monk's corrosive poison cloud were all thrown towards the fire ants in the demonic wind.
Large areas of fire ants were killed, especially the corpse monk's corrosive poison cloud, which fell down a large area of fire ants at once.
Following a corpse explosion, a large area of the dense fire ant colony was suddenly cleared, and even more than a dozen four-star battle ants were killed or injured.
Such a crushing battle ended quickly. The Shesheng Battalion guarded the perimeter, and the first arrow was an arrow. In the end, not a single fire ant was able to escape from the evil wind.
The battlefield was in a mess, and like those insects, the fire ants did not contribute any magic cores.
Choosing some relatively complete ones, Chu Xin asked the mountain bears to cooperate with the Yellow Turban Magician to transport them to the Bone Burial Ground for digestion, and submitted the remaining ones to the Bone Burial Ground copy in one breath.
For a beast like this that exceeds one star, some copies will still admit that the body is mutilated.
Chu Xin opened the map, took a look, and found that there was still no explorable icon displayed.
"It shouldn't be!" He muttered, looking at some of the small red dots that still existed in the fire ant nests on the map, and immediately understood that it should be because the fire ant nests had not been completely cleaned.
Among them, there may still be some fire ants hiding in the nest.
The passage in the fire ant nest is very narrow, and the only people who can enter it and take action are iron scales and grass balls.
Iron Scale's abilities were geared toward defense and assistance. Its offensive abilities were relatively weak and inefficient, so Chu Xin had no choice but to wake up Cao Tuan.
After being woken up, Cao Tuan rubbed himself sleepily with his two cane hands, and then looked at Chu Xin with resentment. He was an evil capitalist who didn't let anyone take a break all night long.
It felt like this little guy was getting more and more emotional after hanging out with him for a while. Chu Xin sighed and began to comfort the angry grass ball.
"There are still some little ants underground. Only our great grass balls can kill them. It's all up to you!"
Chu Xin half-coaxed and half-deceived Cao Tuan to start clearing the fire ants underground. His mental perception followed Cao Tuan's rattan into the fire ant nest.
Soon, he knew what those little red dots he saw were the eggs of fire ants, as well as a small number of war ants, still loyally guarding near the body of the fire ant queen.
The four-star war ants were naturally defenseless when faced with the grass ball, and were easily photographed on the ground by the grass ball.
To Chu Xin's surprise, Cao Tuan packed up the fire ant eggs and dead war ants, including the fire ant queen, and took them out of the fire ant nest.
What is this for?
Chu Xin was a little confused. He only asked the grass ball to kill all the living creatures in the fire ant nest, but did not ask him to take out all the corpses.
"Master, can you take these back to eat?" Cao Tuan asked expectantly.
Chu Xin covered his forehead. He finally understood what Cao Tuan had planned.
"Well, Tucker may not be able to make this thing!" Chu Xin was going to refuse, but seeing the expectant look in Cao Tuan's eyes, he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, take it back to Tucker yourself."
The grass ball is an alien species among plants. It was born out of a demon predator and can feed on the flames of the abyss, so it is very interested in this strange beast with a strong fire element.
As the grass clumps cleared out the eggs and war ants in the fire ant nests, explorable icons finally appeared on the map.
Chu Xin immediately interrupted the golden villain's automatic exploration and devoted himself to it. It only took five minutes in total, which was not too long.
The automatic exploration here didn't yield anything good, just a bunch of junk, but the exploration value increased by more than a thousand, which is not bad.
I don’t know what’s going on, but the last few automatic explorations have been filled with all kinds of rubbish, which has filled up the space in my backpack every once in a while, and I can’t even clear it out.
Chu Xin now almost knows that it is difficult to produce good things through general exploration. Really good things are only produced through several wars.
Let’s look forward to discovering something in the underground fire ant nest!
