"When..." The strong force hit the sand ants, making a sound like a metal collision. Those sand ants have carapace as hard as iron. They can only be killed by hurting their internal organs. However, the attack power of the sixth-level martial artist is enough. Wound them.
After a few blasts of sword energy, it was seen that the forward movement of the sand ants under attack had weakened, and the ant colony was in chaos.
"Sure enough, they are vulnerable." Seeing that their attacks directly blocked the sand ants' forward momentum, Li Ru chuckled, and then increased the speed of swinging his weapons, hoping to kill the sand ants in one go.
At the same time, the people next to Li Ru who were also responsible for blocking the sand ants saw that their attacks were effective, and they speeded up their movements one by one, hoping to completely block the sand ants as soon as possible.
Some of the others were responsible for packing things, and some were responsible for leading the horses. Because their level was too low, Lu Yunyou cooperated with Lan Rou again. Fang Qing was also packing things with the two of them. The three of them took the things they used when they rested. They picked up the items and put them together, and then quickly ran towards the location of the horses.
Lan Jing and others were responsible for leading the horses. When they saw that the sand ants were blocked by Wei Ran and others, they gradually calmed down from the panic and slowed down their movements one by one while observing Wei Ran and others blocking the sand ants. While unhurriedly untying the reins.
Seeing Wei Ran and the others blocking the ant colony without taking even half a step back, several people couldn't help but feel that Lu Yunyou had made a fuss by reminding them in such an urgent tone just now. At the same time, they were also thinking that the sand ants were indeed not that powerful.
"Ah," it wasn't until a scream came out a moment later that Lan Jing and the others became nervous.
"General Wei, what's going on?" Because he didn't understand what was going on, Lan Jing shouted directly to Wei Ran and others.
"Those sand ants can fly!" Wei Ran's slightly heavy voice responded.
After Wei Ran finished speaking, a "buzzing" sound erupted from the sand ant colony, getting louder and louder. Then, black dots the size of fingernails floated up. Everyone took a closer look and saw that those sand ants could indeed fly.
Seeing those sand ants flying up from the ground one by one, flying higher and higher, the shock in the eyes of Wei Ran, Zhou Hai and others became more and more intense.
"Li Ru, retreat quickly." Since the sand ants flew up and spread over a wider area, they could be in danger at any time. Worried that something might happen to a few of them, Wei Ran directly reminded Li Ru at the front.
"General, don't worry. Regardless of whether they can fly or not, these little things will not pose any threat to us." Li Ru ignored Wei Ran's reminder and swung his sword repeatedly to hit the flying sand ants. Get some sword energy.
After those few sword energy passed, some of the sand ants that had just taken off fell down again, either dead or injured. However, Li Ru didn't feel proud for long as more sand ants flew up.
"Li Ru, be careful." The flying sand ants were so dense that Wei Ran did not dare to take them lightly. While fighting and retreating, Wei Ran had to remind Li Ru again.
"General, don't worry." On the other hand, Li Ru was indeed startled by the flying sand ants at first, but he could force himself to calm down. Thinking about it, if he retreated too quickly at this moment, he would be very embarrassed. , especially when he might be laughed at by Lu Yunyou later.
His mood suddenly changed, and he didn't even want to take a step back. While everyone else was fighting and retreating like Wei Ran, Li Ru stopped where he was, waving the weapon in his hand at a faster speed, just wanting to kill all the flying sand ants. Beat to death.
There was a whirring sound, and a few sword energy drove back the dense swarm of sand ants, but before Li Ru could be happy for a long time, the sand ants that were attacked dispersed and quickly gathered together to make a sharper sound, and then came from all directions. Fly towards Li Ru.
"Li Ru, run away." At the same time, Wei Ran, who was behind, immediately realized that something was wrong and took a step forward to force Li Ru away.
Unfortunately, before he could get close to Li Ru, those sand ants rushed up in a swarm. They were so fast that they surrounded Li Ru in an instant, and he couldn't intervene at all.
Because there are too many sand ants and their distribution is too wide, even if Li Ru swings his sword with all his strength at this moment, it will be difficult to block all the sand ants.
"General, save me." After several sword attacks, Li Ru's reaction became slower and slower, and he no longer dared to show off his strength. In panic, he quickly retreated to the rear. Unfortunately, before he could retreat far, another crowd came in front of him. More sand ants, faster than him.
"General, hurry up and save people." Zhou Hai and others noticed that the sand ants were about to fly to Li Ru, and they all hurriedly warned them. Unfortunately, Wei Ran could not get ahead of the sand ants in the end.
"Ah..." Before Wei Ran even touched Li Ru, Li Ru was already being attacked and howling non-stop. The long sword in his hand was swinging wildly in front of him, trying to get rid of the sand ants attacking him, but he put up no resistance. The effect was that those sand ants were pervasive. When Wei Rangang was about to grab his sleeve, the sand ants came up and swallowed him up.
"Ah..." For a moment, an even more pitiful wailing sound came from Li Ru's mouth. Li Ru threw away his weapon and fell to the ground. He scratched his body with both hands, trying to get rid of the sand ants biting him. However, more and more sand ants flew over. As he kept rolling, countless sand ants completely swallowed him up. No matter how much he howled, it was of no use.
On the other side, seeing Li Ru fall to the ground, Wei Ran stopped his hand in time and never had the chance to catch Li Ru.
"Buzzing..." After a moment, more sand ants flew over. In the dim light, it was like a black curtain flying towards Wei Ran, blocking Wei Ran's path.
"General, save me," the severe pain all over his body forced Li Ru to desperately ask for help from Wei Ran. Unfortunately, after being blocked by the ant colony, Wei Ran could not disperse the sand ants in the air no matter how he moved, and he could not spare the energy to save him. Li Ru.
"Help me," a moment later, when Wei Ran tried his best to kill some sand ants and wanted to force himself over to help, Li Ru made his last cry for help. After that, there was no movement in the whole person, and there was only a black mass on the ground. object.
"Li Ru," Wei Ran, who was unsure of Li Ru's situation, shouted immediately after breaking through the sand ants' obstruction, but failed to get any response.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ran was greeted by more sand ants flying from all directions. Just like when they attacked Li Ru, countless sand ants made sharp sounds and flew towards Wei Ran.
"You guys go away quickly, I'll hold back the ant colony." There were so many sand ants, as if they were endless. Faced with the current situation, Wei Ran suddenly felt his scalp numb. Because he was worried about other people getting into trouble, he had to let others go. Go first.
"General, Li Ru?" Hearing Wei Ran's reminder, before leaving, Zhou Hai couldn't help but glance at the place where Li Ru fell just now. In his eyes, there was nothing bulging at that location, only a ball. Sand ants are rising from the ground.
When those black sand ants all flew up, there was nothing on the ground. Li Ru seemed to disappear out of thin air. Such a terrifying scene sent shivers down Zhou Hai's spine.
Like Zhou Hai, several people nearby looked towards the place where Li Ru fell just now. From this look, there was no body of Li Ru on the ground, only sand ants flying higher and higher.
With faces full of shock, several people looked at each other, and then they realized what was going on one after another. Their hearts tightened, and everyone broke into a cold sweat.
"Let's go," one of them reacted first in fear and immediately called out to the others.
"Hurry up," came another reminder from Wei Ran.
"General, be careful." Several people who were still in shock woke up one after another. After launching several attacks on the swarm of sand ants in front, they quickly turned around and ran to the rear. They were afraid that if they were one step later, they would end up with Li. The same fate as Confucianism.
"Run," during the escape, Zhou Hai and others shouted in panic to Lan Jing and others in front.
At the same time, Lu Yunyou and Lan Rou had already run to the side of the horse. Those responsible for leading the horse had also untied all the reins of the horse. When Li Ru over there was in danger, they were already waiting. Wei Ran brought people over.
Now that Zhou Hai and others were urging them to escape, everyone suddenly became nervous. Although they didn't know the specific situation on Wei Ran's side, Lan Jing and the others could hear the urgency in their companion's tone. In fear, one of them He quickly got on his horse and waited for others to come over.
"What's going on?" After Zhou Hai and the others ran over in a panic, Lan Jing asked them directly: "Why are only you three here?"
There were originally five people responsible for blocking the sand ants, but now only three came back. Lan Jing immediately asked the three of them, and then looked behind them, only to see a figure.
"I'll explain to the young master later, let's go quickly, the general is still there to help us resist the sand ants!" Zhou Hai and the other three looked panicked, as if they were trying their best to suppress their inner fears. When answering Lan Jing, their The voice was trembling.
The three people's answers gave Lan Jing a vague suspicion, but time was tight and he couldn't ask for details. After looking at Wei Ran, he quickly ordered everyone: "Everyone, get on the horse."
