"Look!" Zirou suddenly pointed at the ground and shouted in disbelief, but her eyes revealed deep shock.
Shi Lei and Mo Yang looked in the direction indicated by Zirou, and saw a black ant the size of a thumb standing there among the grass.
"There's nothing strange about this. It's just that the size of the ants is a bit bigger. It's a big surprise..." Before the word "Mo Yang Wei" could be said, his mouth opened wide, and his level of surprise was no less than Zirou's.
I saw the black ant open its mouth to eat a gravel in front of it, and its teeth were half the size of its body. The gravel was swallowed up by it like bread.
"This... this ant actually has teeth, and they are so big! And this ant can also swallow gravel, which is really strange!" Mo Yang finally understood that Zi Rou was so surprised. It seemed that it was because he saw a similar scene just now.
"It's really weird here. Ordinary ants eat with their chewing devices. This kind of ant should be a mutated one. Look!" Shi Lei pointed at the ant.
The black ant suddenly stopped eating gravel. The two tentacles on its head moved, as if it had received some news. Its six legs shook a few times, and its thin wings suddenly spread out and flew towards the east.
go.
"Follow us and have a look." Shi Lei used his spiritual consciousness to lock on the ant, because this ant was just an ordinary low-level monster and had no real energy fluctuations in its body.
The three of them followed the ant for about a quarter of an hour and crossed a high mountain. They were shocked by the scene in front of them: in a vast valley, the black area was actually filled with countless ants. The number was more than tens of thousands, and from then on
There are still ants flying from other directions into the valley.
The ant colony was like a black wave, rolling in the valley. Wherever it passed, there was no vegetation. Where there were some vegetation growing, it instantly turned into a barren land. The scene was truly astonishing.
"What are these ants going to do?" Although Zirou is a monster, she doesn't know what these ants are doing.
"Hide your aura and wait and see. This should be the fifth level of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. These ants cannot be without a leader, and their level should not be low." Shi Lei said in a low voice.
The ant colony was advancing mightily, and there was a sparse forest in the distance. When the ant colony passed by, it turned into a flat land, but there were no sawdust left. It was completely swallowed by the ant colony. When it opened its mouth,
A patch of white appeared in the ant colony, which turned out to be the sharp teeth of the ants.
Even Shi Lei and the others didn't feel a chill coming over them. No wonder there were no remains of animals around, they must have been devoured by the ants.
Suddenly Shi Lei heard a buzzing sound, followed it with his consciousness, and found a pair of black ants as big as a palm flying over. There were about a hundred of them, and they gradually flew in front of the ant colony, seeming to lead these huge ants.
.
"It's interesting. Let's see what these ants are going to do." Shi Lei found it interesting. There seemed to be distinct hierarchies in the ant colony.
The ant colony walked for about two-quarters of an hour, and more and more ants joined in. In the end, the dark line was hundreds of meters long, with layers upon layers. The number of ants was immeasurable.
Gradually, the more than a hundred ants stopped, and the ant colony behind them also paused for a while, and then seemed to hear some order and began to dig holes frantically at their location.
"What are they doing?" Zirou was very puzzled, and she couldn't understand the communication between these low-level ants, and was very puzzled.
"Wait, there should be what they need underground." Shi Lei noticed that the location of this group of ants should have been a stream before, but now it may have dried up due to the dry weather.
However, the ground here is not very hard. A group of ants quickly dug a big hole, but they seemed to have no intention of stopping.
"Look! It seems like something has been dug up." Yi Shilei noticed that the ant colony suddenly made a rustling sound, which seemed to be transmitting messages to each other.
Shi Lei and the others extended their consciousness and discovered that the ant colony had now dug a large pit about ten meters deep and one hundred meters long. The soil now dug out was actually very moist. It seemed that the stream was just dry on the surface.
More importantly, in the moist soil, the ant colony seemed to be excited, because many dormant fish were found in the soil.
Because the streams dried up, these fish had to wrap themselves in moist soil in order to save their lives, and then entered a state of dormancy and low consumption. They would be reborn in the next year's rainy season.
But what they didn't expect was that they would be dug out by the ant colony. Before they could wake up, they were swarmed by the ant colony, opened their big mouths, exposed their sharp fangs, and swallowed them all, even a trace of fish.
There were no bones left, and what was even weirder was that even though they had eaten so much, their stomachs were still deflated.
But this seemed to be far from the end. After devouring all the fish, the ant colony continued to dig deeper, seeming to be looking for something.
Finally, after digging to a certain depth, some ants began to climb out of the pit and return along the same path. At this time, Shi Lei carefully discovered that their stomachs were bulging, as if they were holding something.
Slowly, all the ants began to return, and the more than a hundred palm-sized ants also flew down. After devouring some things, they led the ant colony back.
"What on earth are these ant colonies doing with so much effort?" With a hint of doubt, Shi Lei flew directly into the large pit dug by the ant colony, grabbed a handful of soil, and twisted it a few times.
"This soil seems to contain a lot of elements. I wonder what the use of these ants is to swallow these things?" Shi Lei thought for a while, but couldn't come up with any clues, so he had to continue following the ant colony.
Shi Lei and the other two walked forward following the mighty ant colony for about an hour, when they felt a Martial Saint-level consciousness sweeping over them in front of them.
However, the owner of this spiritual consciousness should only be at the early stage of the Martial Saint, so Shi Lei and others were not found.
"It seems that the ant's base camp is ahead, let's be careful." Shi Lei used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with Tan Nen, and saw the ant army entering the direction of the spiritual consciousness.
Zi Rou and Mo Yang nodded and slowly followed Shi Lei. After turning a corner in a valley, Shi Lei saw a scene that he would never forget.
I saw that the place with a radius of one thousand meters was actually filled with secret numbing ants, mostly black, but there were still yellow and red ants.
In a flat place, there are dozens of ant nests of different sizes. Among them, a huge ant nest about a hundred meters high is the most unique. This ant nest is like a human palace, with many ordinary human beings installed.
The room-sized inner caves appear to be occupied by people with high status in the ant colony.
As for the remaining dozens of ant nests, apart from being dozens of times larger than ordinary ant nests, there is nothing special about them.
Shi Lei and the others were now more than two thousand meters away from the ant nest. They used their spiritual consciousness to spy on the ant nest and found that the black ants that came back from the dry stream entered the highest ant nest intermittently, and then poured some liquid into the ant nest.
Paint it on the wall.
When Shi Lei saw this, his pupils shrank suddenly, because he found that most of the remaining liquid in the ant's spit was metal, which could make the wall stronger.
"I didn't see it. It turns out that these black ants came all the way to get the soil with high metal content. But I don't know why there are strong people in this ant colony, so why do they need to go to such trouble?" Shi Lei
Although I know the purpose of these black ants eating soil, I still don't understand it.
"Be careful!" At this time, Zirou suddenly swatted away an ant that was about to bite Mo Yang. Only then did the three of them realize that many ants were approaching silently around them, as if they were surrounding themselves.
Shi Lei couldn't help but smile. The three of them had been attracted by the ant nest before, but they didn't expect that the little ant discovered the three of them. It seemed that the strong man in the ant colony had also discovered him.
"Have you three seen enough, outsiders?" A hoarse voice sounded. In the air, a yellow ant with black wings was speaking human words. It was as tall as an ordinary human being, followed by three yellow ants.
Ant.
At this moment, Shi Lei and the others discovered that dense ants were swarming towards them. The rustling sounds made people's scalp numb. Shi Lei and others had seen what happened to these woods and fish. If they were killed by these ants, they would be killed.
If you crawl through it, there won't even be any bones left.
"Four ninth-level intermediate monsters!" Zirou glanced at the yellow ants in surprise.
"Haha, are you surprised? This is not the place you should come, but since you are here, then as food for my ants, the flesh of the three martial saints should taste much better than soil." The yellow one.
The ant said coldly, and when he spoke, his long pointed teeth were exposed.
"It's just you who want to eat us?" Shi Lei couldn't help but feel a little funny. He didn't know where this yellow ant's confidence came from. The three of them were the fifth and sixth bridges of the Martial Saint. With just this strength,
The four yellow ants in the middle stage of the martial arts and this black mass of ants seemed not enough.
"You came from the Two-faced Clan, it seems you haven't learned a lesson," the yellow ant snorted, and the area around Shi Lei was filled with black, palm-sized ants, almost blocking the sky.
The difference between these ants and others is that they are all at the level of fifth-level monsters.
Moreover, these ants actually flew according to some specific trajectories, as if they were performing some kind of special formation, which looked very strange.
"If you want to enter the ant nest, come to my level first. My men haven't tasted human flesh for a long time." A long yellow stick appeared in the yellow ant's hand and waved it several times in the air.
, those ants swarmed towards Shi Lei and the three of them almost at the same time!
