Chapter 73 Hunting Ants
Without the command of the queen ant, the threat of the ant colony was immediately reduced by more than half.
Soon Zhang Zhixuan and others noticed the abnormality. They finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to increase their efforts to rest. Only two people were left to deal with the ant colony, and the remaining three people recovered their mana.
After another whole day, the number of ants in the colony was less than 500, and they finally fled back to the nest intermittently.
At this time, this protracted battle has come to an end.
Zhang Zhixuan and the other five finally breathed a sigh of relief and took turns arranging manpower to keep watch. Finally, they had a peaceful sleep and regained some energy.
They suppressed their sleepy spirits and slept for only two hours, and then spent another six hours recovering their mana until their body’s mana was fully restored.
The five people looked at each other and smiled, then entered the fire crystal ant nest with their heads held high.
The queen of the fire crystal ants has just laid eggs, and now is the time to hatch the eggs, so she can’t be distracted.
Zhang Zhixuan and the other five people entered the ant nest and used their magical weapons to kill the soldier ants one after another.
The army of fire crystal ants in the ant nest was no longer large enough to stop the fierce attack of the five people. In a short period of time, the five people arrived in front of the fire crystal ant queen.
The queen ant is very large, more than six feet long and three feet high. She has six pairs of thin wings on her body.
With a slight flap of its wings, it can fly more than ten feet away.
Under its body, there are densely packed insect eggs. Because Zhang Zhixuan and the others came in within a short time, these insect eggs have not hatched yet.
The insect eggs were all golden in color and emitted weak flames. The larvae of the first few hundred eggs that were laid had already taken shape and had broken out of their shells immediately.
Several people looked at each other and launched their flying swords one after another. The flying swords turned into rays of spiritual light and took the lead in slashing at the eggs that were about to hatch.
The queen ant screamed several times angrily, and finally stopped laying eggs. She fluttered her wings, flew over a dozen feet, and bit the fifteenth uncle.
Uncle Fifteen injured his consciousness last time, so his reaction was a little slower than usual. In addition to fighting for several days in a row, he was also mentally tired.
Before he could react at all, the ant queen had already jumped in front of him.
Faced with this life and death crisis, Uncle Fifteen panicked and quickly turned around, preparing to escape from this disaster.
Although he is older than Zhang Zhixuan, his life and death fighting experience is not as good as Zhang Zhixuan.
At his age, he had not experienced the brutal battle of Jiuhua Mountain.
In the past few decades, relying on the blessing of his family, he has no experience in life-or-death fights.
Faced with this sudden crisis, he immediately made the wrong choice. Instead of facing the danger head-on, he chose to turn around and run away.
You know, the queen ant was much faster than the monk. Before he could run a few feet, he was caught up by the queen and cruelly bit off his head.
After finally killing a nasty bug, the queen ant crushed the head of her fifteenth uncle Zhang Mengchong with all her strength, and screamed excitedly, as if she had found the weakness of several people.
The incident happened suddenly, and Zhang Zhixuan and others were caught off guard. They had no time to rescue them, and saw their fifteenth uncle die from the mouth of the monster.
The elders who had been supporting each other all day died unexpectedly, and a breath of evil breath was fiercely held in Zhang Zhixuan’s chest. He gritted his teeth, and the flying sword in his hand was like a bolt of lightning, accurately hitting the wings of the queen ant.
The azure light sword in his hand was very sharp and cut off both wings of the queen ant in succession.
After losing its two wings, the queen ant suddenly lost her sense of balance and her speed immediately slowed down by half.
The queen ant quickly turned around, discarded Zhang Mengchong’s corpse, and angrily threw herself at Zhang Zhixuan, who had just hurt it.
At this time, because Zhang Mengchong died alone, several others had quickly gathered together, especially Zhang Hanyan, who was not far from Zhang Zhixuan.
Seeing the queen ant rushing towards Zhang Zhixuan, Zhang Hanyan had no time to think and fiercely pulled out a rope magic weapon. The rope trembled slightly and turned into a long rope of more than ten feet, dragging Zhang Zhixuan to his side.
The queen ant moved faster. She kicked off her legs hard, changed direction, and continued to pounce on Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhixuan.
Faced with this sudden danger, Zhang Hanyan’s fear of death broke through Zhang Hanyan’s defenses.
“Brother Fifteen has lost his head just now. If Zhixuan has an accident, how can he explain it to the third uncle? Even if I die, I have to delay some time for them.”
Her face turned pale and she smiled miserably, like a spiritual flower that would wither at any moment.
But at this moment, she was still ready to push Zhang Zhixuan away and buy him some time to escape.
Uncle Fifteen’s fate just now made Zhang Zhixuan understand that running away was useless.
Faced with the danger of life and death, Zhang Zhixuan seemed to inspire the bravery in his bones. He held the flying sword in his hand, then pulled Zhang Hanyan behind him, and rushed to the queen ant first.
“Zhixuan, don’t be reckless!” After his brother had just died, Zhang Zhixuan, the most promising young man in the family, threw himself at the queen. This approach seemed like seeking death.
The fourth uncle didn’t have time to feel sad. He suddenly panicked and shouted.
Faced with this critical situation, Zhang Zhixuan was quite calm. He raised his shoulder, avoided the vital point of the head, and delivered the shoulder to the queen’s mouth first.
On his body, he wore inner armor refined by a third-level monster.
Firehorn beef is famous for its rough skin and thick flesh.
Although the queen ant had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, it could barely bite through the leather armor on Zhang Zhixuan’s shoulder with one bite. However, due to the obstruction of the leather armor, its sharp mouth and sharp teeth could not bite Zhang Zhixuan’s shoulder off.
Zhang Zhixuan holds a flying sword, just like a mortal soldier fighting bloody melee.
At that moment, he seized the only chance to survive and stabbed the queen in the eyes with the flying sword in his hand.
His relatives died tragically and he was seriously injured. All these blows did not knock him down, but instead brought out another side of his bones.
Zhang Zhixuan ignored the severe pain on his shoulder that penetrated into the bone marrow. His eyes turned red, he clenched the azure light sword in his hand with all his strength, and stabbed the queen ant hard in the eye.
Under his crazy brute strength, he pushed the queen ant back continuously and slid directly seven or eight feet away.
It wasn’t until Zhang Zhixuan felt a strong fainting feeling that he involuntarily let go of the flying sword in his hand.
At this time, the queen ant’s brain was in a mess and she completely lost her breath.
The fourth uncle quickly stepped forward, bandaged Zhang Zhixuan’s wound, and then applied some hemostatic ointment. He was relieved when he saw that although Zhang Zhixuan was sweating profusely, his pulse was still steady.
He just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt a strong dizziness. He managed to support himself, handed Zhang Zhixuan to Zhang Mengqin to take care of him, and sighed sadly: “I am getting old after all!
This time I finally captured the fire crystal ants. After returning home from Qingxuanzong, I will serve my old age and go home to take care of myself. “
The fifteenth brother died and Zhang Zhixuan was seriously injured. The fourth brother, who had always been respected by others, also said such depressing words. Although he had obtained good deeds and was very sure of getting the foundation building pill, Zhang Hanyan did not feel a trace of happiness. Instead, he felt The cruelty of cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism is truly far beyond that of the mortal world.
In the blink of an eye, a living person’s body was mutilated.
In order to build his own foundation, Brother Fifteen had already lost his life.
In order to save his own life, his promising nephew was also seriously injured.
Even the fourth brother and others didn’t notice that Zhang Hanyan came from a large sect and was more knowledgeable.
She had noticed that her fourth brother Zhang Menglong was clearly exhausted mentally and physically.
Even if he returns safely this time, he may not live for a few years.
