Liu Yuan looked at the remains of ants scattered on the ground, and his mind was completely blank.
Who is the murderer?
After careful inspection, the doors and windows were indeed intact, and there was no trace of any movement up and down in the house.
Secret room murder?
Liu Yuan was a bit confused. What kind of fun was this?
No, he noticed the patrol team flying in the air, but they were intact.
In addition, there is a rule that the teams further away from him have a higher survival rate, while those close to him all die tragically.
Could it be... I'm the murderer?
When did you do it?
I love killing people in my dreams?
Liu Yuan was a little dumbfounded, wondering if his aura of dominance was too strong. He shook his head helplessly, and took the remains of the ants back to the Tianji Map. The ants that died unexpectedly turned into lines and returned to the ant nest in the map. The remaining few survivors were more eye-catching.
Why is it a little different?
Liu Yuan discovered something strange. The few surviving ants seemed to be much larger than before, and their carapace was glossier, with spikes emerging from some edges. Although they were very tired and seemed to be seriously ill, their aura seemed to be more dangerous.
Could they still mutate? The evolution of survival of the fittest?
Liu Yuan picked one up, compared it with the others, and discovered another pattern. The closer the surviving ants are to themselves, the more obvious their evolution becomes and the more depressed they become.
It turns out that the source of evolution is oneself?
The mystery seems to be solved, but not completely solved. How does evolution proceed, and where does the power come from? At this time, Liu Yuan had not yet thought of the air film and its marrow-cleansing properties.
The marrow cleansing that acts on monks is harmless to the body, but if it acts on ants, even if they are demonized, it will be a disaster. Most ants cannot bear to die, which is in line with the rule of survival of the fittest. There are always those with extraordinary talents. The ants survived and underwent a marrow wash that was too harsh for them, and thus reborn.
It's always a good thing that ants have evolved. If they die, they can be recycled and summoned again.
After several more experiments, he finally discovered that the source of evolution was the function of the air film on the body. He felt the inclusiveness of the air film and its unique marrow cleansing effect.
Xiaowen is right, this technique is really good.
The coincidental mutation of the air shield technique is probably something that even the creators of this type of air shield technique did not expect.
Next, Liu Yuan braced himself and turned on the air membrane around the clock, and began the biochemical transformation that lasted for many days. Each time, he deliberately made the ants closely unite around him, including some flying ants.
Sure enough, every morning, a large number of ants died and were recycled, but the surviving ants were also strengthened, and their size and breath were significantly improved. An ordinary army ant is already the size of a mouse, and after being transformed into a demon, it feels like it has the strength of a preliminary level of Qi refining.
But gradually, Liu Yuan also noticed that as the ants evolved, the number of survivors increased each time, and at the same time, the extent of evolution became smaller and smaller.
End of potential? I'm afraid so.
Finally, half a month later, almost all the ants could survive safely in Liu Yuan's air film, and evolution had completely stopped. This means that the effect of marrow cleansing has reached its limit and there is no more potential to be tapped.
Except for one type of ant.
This kind of ant is not mentioned in the book. It is small in black and gray size, looks ordinary, and has no special skills. The number it summons every time is also very stable, and it seems that it can only form a small team.
However, after many cycles of air film refining, the ants continued to die, accounting for half of them, never too much, and never too little.
As for evolution, not really.
Liu Yuan observed the ants carefully and found that there was indeed no change.
What a strange breed. Just call it a stone ant, as stubborn as stone.
From then on, whenever the air membrane was stimulated, Liu Yuan arranged for a group of stone ants to attach to the air membrane. They did not resist or enjoy it, they were just summoned quietly, and part of them died quietly, experiencing one after another. of reincarnation. The only change is maybe getting more used to it all.
However, the other ant legions have completely changed.
Fire ants become more violent and develop a stinger on their tail. Leaf-cutting ants have evolved mucus glands that can stick to objects dozens of times their weight. Bullet ant venom adds powerful corrosive properties. The wings of flying ants are also more powerful, and their flying speed and height have increased several times...
On this day, Liu Yuan came to Fangshi and finally stopped in the weapon refining workshop.
"Shopkeeper, have you finished building the pair of spiritual claws?"
"I've been waiting for you for many days, and it's already finished." The shopkeeper told the waiter to bring the spiritual claws.
"Good craftsmanship!" Liu Yuan gently stroked the soul claw, its sharp edges shone with cold light and gave off a compelling sharp aura. The three sharp blades of each pair of spiritual claws can also be retracted at will. He summoned the cat demon and attached the spiritual claws to its forelimbs, which greatly improved the cat demon's armor-breaking ability. When Liu Yuan said goodbye to the weapon refining workshop, the shop owner did not forget to say, "If you have such good materials in the future, please consider small shops first."
After leaving Fangshi, Liu Yuan rushed to the wild alone and entered Erdaoliang in a low-key manner. He did not join Zheng Jing's group. Instead, he went straight to the area where the Ankylosaurus was active.
Wherever you feel defeated, you can find your place again. Sitting on the upgraded ant army and the cat demon who exchanged shotguns for cannons. Liu Yuan now has this confidence.
Arriving again at the valley where the Ankylosaurus was active, the cat demon's sense of smell immediately discovered something unusual underground. It groped towards the familiar smell, and finally led Liu Yuan to a rocky beach.
This is it, the cat demon is sending a signal of excitement to Liu Yuan, and there seems to be more than one underground.
Summoning the ant colony on the ground and forming a formation, Liu Yuan began to launch the first wave of attacks as planned:
Striker Team - Stinky Ants. The smelly ants that have been washed have a more unpleasant smell and are a serious threat to environmental corrosion and pollution.
In the past few days, he had been thinking about how to surround and kill the Ankylosaurus, so he came up with this trick to lure the snake out of its hole.
It is also unlucky for the Earth Armored Dragon. Although this kind of monster is invulnerable to fire and water. But creatures living underground all have one characteristic in common, that is, poor eyesight and a well-developed sense of smell.
The same goes for the Ankylosaurus. Its sense of smell is extremely developed, and the pungent smell of the enhanced stinky ants just hits its vitality.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to feel the movement coming from the ground, and it became shallower and shallower. The Ankylosaurus can't stand the large-scale contamination of the nest by the smelly ants, so it needs to get out for some air.
When the Ankylosaurus jumped out of the ground due to the smell and tried to escape, the cat demon was already hungry and thirsty. Its new weapon, the Spirit Claw, was taken from the Ankylosaurus.
It's good to use Zi's spear to attack Zi's shield.
With the cat demon entangled, the strengthened ant colonies began to besiege the armored dragon that was spinning in circles. Liu Yuan also used a small shield to interrupt its yellow light tongue attack at any time. This time the ant army was basically not swallowed up. Leading to massive attrition.
As more and more ants attached to the Ankylosaurus, they began to show their special abilities. Some released acid to attack the joints of the scales, some marched towards the belly and attacked the abdomen, and some specifically attacked the eyes and nose. . With the help of the cat demon, the ants took advantage of their numbers and continued to attack. The armored dragon finally began to panic. It roared and a yellow light lit up on its body. This yellow light effectively delayed the ant colony's offensive.
At this time, something unexpected happened to Liu Yuan. The stone ants that had been showing no signs suddenly raised their heads. They actually released a faint spiritual energy, and led various ant colonies separately, and began to bite and spit more violently.
As long as the ant colony is enveloped by this spiritual energy, they will become excited as if they have taken medicine, and all of them will be extremely ferocious.
The Ankylosaurus finally began to break through the defense. Under the leadership of the stone ants, the ants began to tear a small opening from the breached defense, and then continued to rush in, tearing at the breach of the defense. As long as one part of the defense is broken, the outcome will be a collapse.
There is no suspense about victory or defeat.
In less than a moment of burning the incense, the armored dragon fell down with a crash all over its body. Its little eyes were filled with unwillingness to be killed by its own food.
Once again, I harvested a body of good scales and a pair of sharp claws, but this time I couldn't find the crystal core. Liu Yuan adjusted his breath and rested his mind, and replenished and reorganized the ant army to prepare for the next goal...
…
Half a month later, the first beam.
A macaw quickly rushed into the castle master's room at the top of Wu Fort.
Mu Shaohong sat on a chair made of animal skins and frowned when he heard the message from the parrot in his ear, "Has seventy-eight percent of Erdaoliang's Ankylosaurus population been wiped out?"
"...It was actually that kid who did this?" Mu Shaohong stood up quickly when he heard what was happening behind him.
He paused, showed a playful expression, and slowly sat down, "I know, you go and bring a few men, and settle the remaining bunch of idiot Ankylosaurus, and don't wipe out the species. Go as soon as possible .”
The poor macaw came from afar and flew out again without even taking a breath.
Mu Shaohong was alone in the room. He picked up a large pot of wine and muttered to himself:
"The boy you are going to deal with is getting more and more promising. It's unexpected." Mu Shaohong took a sip of wine and raised the corners of his mouth while wiping his mouth. "But, I don't know why, brother, I am very happy."
"Our family is the same." Another voice sounded from the shadows.
