"One, two, three, four, five..."
"Sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety..."
Richard silently counted in his mind while killing the control hub ants one after another that commanded the ant colony.
He noticed that most of the control hub ants were purple, and a few were dark gray, belonging to more advanced beings - every time he killed one, it would cause half of the ant colony to wait, which would take several to ten seconds. It may even take longer to recover.
Moreover, even if it recovers, the ant colony will no longer be able to organize attacks as flexibly and smoothly as before.
To give an example, the entire ant colony is like a precision-operated machine. As the control hub ants are continuously removed, the machine gradually rusts and becomes more and more difficult to operate until... it stops completely.
"boom!"
Richard crashed into a corner of the ant colony and smashed many ordinary ants, revealing two dark gray large-headed ants together.
Without any politeness, he shot out the blood spear and killed decisively.
"Snapped!"
As the bodies of the two dark gray ants were shattered, the ant colony that was still barely maintaining itself collapsed. All the ants stagnated together, as if they had lost consciousness, and rushed in all directions, forming a chaotic mess. Not to mention attacking, they could not even maintain their formation.
"It should be settled now." Richard thought in his mind, flew away from the ant colony, returned to Jasmine and her group, and said, "Don't wait any longer, take advantage of the opponent's confusion and try your best to attack."
Jasmine looked over, blinked, then looked back, nodded and gave an order to her men: "Attack with all your strength!"
"yes."
"Swipe!"
"Boom!"
Jasmine's men released spells without leaving any hand, and bombarded the chaotic ant colony.
Richard was not idle either. He waved his hand and formed a row of blood spears to shoot out. He took out many miniature spell-seeking missiles from the space iron ring with his backhand, activated and released them, one after another, until all the stocks that had been replenished not long ago were used up.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
In the ant colony, countless flames exploded, and countless fireballs exploded. Because of the chaos of the ant colony, the power of each spell was no longer reduced. On the contrary, some were able to cause damage beyond the level, which caused the casualties of the ant colony to increase linearly.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Under the continuous bombardment, the number of ant colonies was significantly reduced. First, it was 10%, then 20%, then 30%, then 40%. Finally, when Jasmine and the others were a little tired, the number of ant colonies was only 12/10.
Under the heavy casualties, the remaining ants regained some order. As if they were aware of the danger, they quickly retreated back and fled into the darkness.
"call-"
Jasmine's men stopped after looking at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "These ants finally learned to be afraid. They can finally explore the places they didn't explore last time."
After saying that, you have to move in a direction to the side.
However, Richard did not move and said: "Aren't you afraid that you will encounter these ants again when you come back? There are so many ants, you should be able to guess that they have a terrifying ability to reproduce, right? If given The time it takes for them to recover, when we return, there may be an ant colony of the same size or even larger waiting for us.”
"This -" Sorceress Su was stunned for a moment, her eyebrows lowered, and she thought, "We don't know what state we will be in by then. If there are casualties, we might really be left in the ruins."
"So, my suggestion is to catch up and completely eliminate the opponent." Richard said.
After hearing this, Su glanced at the "wood" next to him, and then looked at Jasmine with "One Eye" and Hulk.
Jasmine obviously heard what Richard said. She pursed her lips and gave her decision: "Chase!"
"brush!"
The group of people, without hesitation, quickly chased the remaining ant colony fleeing into the darkness.
…
"Boom boom boom!"
The sound of spell bombardment sounded again, and it didn't take long for the group to catch up with the remaining ant colony that had escaped in the darkness, and took action without hesitation.
"Boom boom boom!"
The ant colony gets smaller and smaller, and finally only a few ants escape to the ground near their nest, which is covered with thick white mycelium.
It can be seen that the white mycelium on the ground is like the spring exposed after the sofa is broken, extending in all directions. Each bunch of mycelium is hung with many translucent eggs the size of quail eggs. Through the thin egg shell, it can be faintly seen. I saw a large number of black and red ants curled up inside.
There are almost countless eggs like this on the endless carpet of bacteria, which makes people’s scalp numb just looking at them. It is completely conceivable what a terrifying scene it would be if all the ants in these eggs hatched successfully.
The expressions of several of Jasmine's subordinates changed unnaturally.
At this time, the last remaining ants climbed onto the fungus carpet, and their tentacles swung rapidly, sending out an emergency signal.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of dull footsteps sounded, and deep in the fungus blanket, a small mountain-like figure appeared.
From the looks of it, it was a snow-white ant that looked like an elephant, nearly four meters tall. Its head was not exaggerated in proportion, but it was dragging a bloated abdomen. As it walks, white eggs are continuously discharged from its abdomen and roll down onto the fungus carpet to hatch.
Probably aware of the crowd, the giant white ant raised its head and looked at it with its eyes. Everyone felt their heads sinking, and invisible pressure wrapped around their bodies.
This is the strength of the strange super species.
The giant white ant looked at everyone for a few seconds, and after getting enough information from the last remaining ant, it opened its mouth and roared at everyone without any politeness.
Because the frequency of the sound was beyond the range of the human ear, Richard and his party could not really hear it, but the impact was there. Along with the others, Richard felt his heart beat suddenly stagnant, his blood flow suddenly stopped, and his face instantly turned purple.
Jasmine raised her eyebrows, sensing the danger, and punched her heart with her fist to restore the normal beating of her heart, and shouted: "Kill it!"
Her men listened and took action quickly, generating mana fluctuations in their bodies to prepare powerful spells.
As a result, just before the spell was released, the giant white ant dragged its bloated belly, rushed over quickly, and crashed out at an unimaginable speed.
Everyone was shocked.
But just as the giant white ant rushed a few meters away from the crowd, its body suddenly stiffened, and a round hole appeared in its head, penetrating its entire body, and it died immediately. Under the influence of inertia, the corpse of the dead white giant ant slid on the ground for a long distance before stopping and stopped moving.
Jasmine and the others looked at Richard in surprise, and saw Richard slowly lowering his right hand with the metal glove.
At this time, Richard was somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, he just used the "World-Destroying Glove" to release a "Finger of Death" to kill the giant ant of the super-reborn species. In his opinion, superborn species are special beings after all. They are on the same level as Ximu, and may be stronger than ordinary fourth-level wizards.
Such a being has more or less the ability to compete with prophecy spells. Even if the "Finger of Death" cannot be completely disabled, it will not be 100% effective.
But who would have thought that the result would be so easy, with just a "Finger of Death" to eliminate the giant white ants, without even needing the full function of the "World-Destroying Glove".
A bit weak...
