At seven o'clock the next morning, the military and five major civil forces met on time at the entrance of the strategic reserve.
It doesn't matter if other people meet, after all, they just disappeared for one night.
But after Zhao Xuan and Yan Chengfeng met, they were both stunned.
No one around them knew that after Zhao Xuan and Yan Chengfeng obtained the second-level space system crystal core and light system crystal core respectively the day before yesterday, after two consecutive nights of diligent training, they both advanced to the third level last night. Fighter!
They both restrained their momentum towards the others, except that they inadvertently and deliberately sent out a hint of hostility towards each other, and then they felt each other's changes.
Zhao Xuan felt that Yan Chengfeng's momentum was like thunder, unstoppable. Yan Chengfeng felt that Zhao Xuan's momentum was like a cobweb, and there was no way he could take advantage of it.
"City Lord Zhao is indeed extraordinary. I admire him, I admire him." Yan Chengfeng ignored the others and said to Zhao Xuan.
"Each other, each other." Zhao Xuan returned the gesture with fists clasped.
Everyone else looked at them in confusion.
But Yan Chengfeng and Zhao Xuan said nothing more.
Soon the battle begins.
In this battle, more than 800 superpowers took the lead, and the non-superpower combat forces followed far behind the superpowers.
The battle started from the outside in, starting from the first branch of the cave fifty meters to the left of the cave entrance.
The first branch cave is more than 1,500 meters deep, and there are about 20 branches and trails on the road.
In the deepest part of the cave, there are more than 3,000 mutant ants.
The battle here is very simple. More than 800 superpowers don't need to lure the ants. They just go forward and use two to three hundred superpowers as one attack wave. After only three rounds of focused fire attacks, they will risk their lives. The ants that came up were wiped out on their way up.
The number of mutated ants on each branch of the branch hole is very rare, there are dozens, and at most one or two hundred. The superpowers ignored these scattered ant colonies and left them directly to the military's ordinary combat forces to deal with them.
They quickly rushed to the second and third holes...
The further inside they are cleared, the greater the number of ant colonies the team of superpowers will have to face.
By the time they reached the ninth minute of the cave, the ant colony numbered over 10,000. At this time, they could no longer be reckless, so they began to use seduction tactics.
The fast wind-type superpowers approached and attacked, triggering some ant colonies to pursue them. Then the superpowers used the tactic of fighting while retreating to slowly eliminate the chasing ant colonies.
If all the ants are attracted, the superpowers will quickly retreat collectively, allowing the ants to lengthen the team and reduce the density during the pursuit, and then they will seize the opportunity to attack several times.
If the opportunity is right, they will fight to the end. If not, they will retreat and wait for the best opportunity to appear.
Under such tactical guidance, the superpowers continued to move forward without any injuries, but the time spent continued to increase.
During the battle, Yan Chengfeng and Zhao Xuan kept holding back their energy, intentionally or unintentionally competing with each other by killing ants. It's a pity that after more and more back and forth, both of them found helplessly that they might still be unable to do anything to the other person.
Although Yan Chengfeng was fast, Zhao Xuan's defense was intact. Yan Chengfeng's weapon had great advantages, but it was mostly offset by the fire energy attached to the weapon by Zhao Xuan...
Although others are also happy to watch Yan and Zhao compete, because it will save them a lot of effort. But as time went by, their expressions became more and more unnatural. Because they all found that the fighting power of Yan and Zhao was obviously a level higher than theirs.
They immediately understood that both Yan and Zhao had advanced.
This caused them a great sense of crisis, and they all decided in their hearts that after what happened here, even if they didn't do anything when they went back, they would practice in seclusion and raise their level first.
In this somewhat weird atmosphere, the team of superpowers fought non-stop from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon, and finally eliminated all the main ant colonies in the holes. The military forces also killed the remaining ants in the path inside the branch cave and moved out most of the supplies.
At present, the team of superpowers stopped at the deepest part of the reserve, on the last very wide straight road. At the end of the straight road is a dense swarm of ants.
The ant colony here is initially estimated to number more than 300,000.
"Everyone, the arsenal is right behind the ant colony. They just blocked the door of the arsenal." Qin Kedi pointed at the ant colony from a distance and said.
"I have a hunch that the ants here are difficult to deal with." Yan Chengfeng suddenly said in a deep voice.
Before anyone else could react, Zhao Xuan glanced at Yan Chengfeng in surprise.
"I didn't expect that this guy has such good qualifications and has the ability to predict things so early. It seems that I really can't take him lightly." Zhao Xuan thought to himself.
Zhao Xuan knew that Yan Chengfeng's words were not without purpose. Light is actually one of the symbols of time. When a person with light abilities evolves to the highest level, he can truly move ahead of time.
Although Yan Chengfeng is far from reaching that level now, and has not even seen the fur of that level yet, it does not prevent him from having a vague premonition of what will happen in a short time.
"How difficult are they to deal with? Why not lure them out and annihilate them?" Qiu Yun said carelessly.
Yan Chengfeng looked at Qiu Yun expressionlessly and said nothing more.
Qin Kedi smiled and immediately arranged for wind power users to attract monsters.
The results of attracting monsters quickly confirmed Yan Chengfeng's hunch that the ants here are really difficult to deal with.
I don't know what's going on, but not only are the number of ants chased out here very small, but even the ants that are chased out will give up the chase and quickly return to their original place after chasing a distance of five or six meters at most.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"What's going on with these ants? Is there something there that they must protect?" Sikong Zhen muttered unintentionally.
However, this sentence made Qin Ke Enemy suddenly enlightened.
"Yes, they have something they must protect." Qin Kedi blurted out.
Everyone else looked at Qin Kedi.
"There is a queen ant here. They must protect the queen. This will be a tough battle. The further we fight, the more severe the counterattack we will face." Qin Kedi looked serious.
The expressions of other people suddenly looked bad.
Unexpectedly, until the end of the fight, there would be no escape from a tough battle.
But what can be done? You can’t just give up now, right?
The military can give up, after all, the military has taken away most of what they want.
However, the arms they have longed for are right in front of them, and the five major civil forces are reluctant to give up.
What I haven’t said yet is that no matter how difficult it is, we have to get started.
A critical battle began immediately.
Perhaps in response to Qin Kedi's judgment, during their careful attacks, the ants' large-scale and rapid counterattacks occurred seven or eight times. After counterattacking for a certain distance, they quickly shrank back, leaving human superpowers with no chance. take advantage of.
When the queen ant was finally captured four hours later, seven of the human superpowers were dead and more than twenty injured.
This is the first time since the end of the world that a group of superpowers has experienced large-scale casualties.
However, the five major civil forces finally got what they wanted, and returned victoriously in the dark with a small group of arms and heavy weapons.
