The big black ants no longer stepped within a hundred meters. The vines in the area lost their target and gradually shrank back into the ground, leaving only the outermost circle.
These vines did not stop attacking, but continued to pierce and sweep towards the army of ants a hundred meters away, forcing the ants to retreat another ten meters.
Yes, his vines are not the mutant vines outside the protected area. There is no risk of death if they leave their range of activity. So although the growth range is a hundred meters, the vines are more than ten meters long and can affect an area of another ten meters!
Wow, the backyard has expanded a lot!
Of course, an enemy unit still needs to step within a hundred meters to attract the vines out.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and landed on the ground.
"Okay, these ants should not be able to get in." Xu Xin said to the pangolin concubine who was watching all this. It was a little worried at first, but now it opened its mouth wide when it saw this situation.
It was obviously shocked. It didn't expect that there would be such powerful defense facilities here.
"Well, I told you, it's safe here, don't worry."
Although Xu Xin said so, he still did not bring the two little guys down. Who knows if these ants will explode in a while.
However, he felt that although the two little guys had not yet been weaned, they were not afraid of these ants. After all, they had grown a complete body of scales and looked much stronger than these ants with thin arms and legs.
In short, he should no longer need to create a circle of fire around the tree house. With a few more waves of attacks from these ants, he can basically consume them all.
Fire rings still have the risk of causing fires. What if some ants can run around for a while after being ignited? Don't use them if you can.
But just because he doesn't need it doesn't mean others don't need it.
The regional channel was abuzz with this sudden incident.
"Oh my god, there are so many huge ants! So many!"
"We just dealt with the vines, and now here come the ants!"
"Come on, vines! Come on! Blast the ants! Wow, a whole swarm of them just with one swing, so cool!"
"If I had known I wouldn't have burned the heart fragment, wouldn't the area near the tree house be unprotected? We've been tricked by the explorer!"
"You're stupid! If you didn't burn the heart fragments, your tree house would have been torn apart by the vines. Why would you need ants to attack you?"
"I strongly suggest that you block that idiot above and stop helping him!"
"Oh my god, some ants have broken through the defenses! Oh my god, they're climbing up! They're not attacking the tree trunk, they're gnawing at my tree house!"
"They climbed right into my tree house! They didn't attack me, but were just gnawing at the walls. What should I do? If I attack them, will they all attack me in droves?"
Instead of attacking the tree trunk, the ants will eat the tree house?!
Yes, although the fighting power of these ants is about the same as that of rabbits, since they are an army attacking the tree house, they must have their merits. From the very beginning, the target of these ants was not the survivors, but the tree house!
The mutant vines attack the trunks, while these giant ants crawl into the canopy and gnaw at the treehouse.
If it weren’t for the heart fragments provided by Xu Xin and the others, most people would have faced the double attack of vines and ants!
Xu Xin immediately said in the regional channel: "The ants' fighting power is very weak, about the same as that of hares, and their target is the tree house, not the survivors. Pick up your weapons and attack them immediately!"
Ji Chaoyang also spoke up: "Their weakness is their head! We can kill them with a spear-like weapon. Move, don't let the ants eat up the tree house!"
"I feel relieved with the elders' words. Brothers, let's move!"
"Wild rabbit strength? That's it? I'll kill them!"
"Haha, brothers, these ants are so weak, hurry up and pick up your weapons to kill them!"
Xu Xin: "Don't be too anxious. The tree house has the ability to repair itself. Just calm down and attack. Don't worry too much about the damage to the tree house."
"Okay, big boss!"
"Thank you, sir!"
At the same time, the explorers were also thinking about the previous arson.
Qin Yunlong: "Do you want to give it a try? There are too many ants! Our tree house is much bigger than theirs, and it has several floors. It's too chaotic to completely eliminate the ants by ourselves!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "If we leave it alone like this, even if the tree house is not destroyed, it will definitely take a long time to recover, and it may even affect the upgrade!"
Qi Xuefei: "Fortunately, the number of them that have broken through the defense line is still small, and they only eat the tree house and are not interested in people or objects. But to be on the safe side, you should carry precious things with you."
Xu Xin: "Does anyone want to try fire? I can provide you with bloodthorn vines that have not had their juice collected. But be careful, there is still a risk of causing a jungle fire."
He was hanging in the air again, observing the movements of the ants. Silver King and Mimi could not stand the bloodthirsty nature of the intermediate mutant beasts, so with his consent, they rushed into the ant colony and went to fight.
There were a total of seven ant colonies around the tree house. They rushed into two groups of ant colonies and started killing them, disrupting the formation of the two groups of ant colonies.
Ah Fu was hanging upside down under the tree house on standby. Once the ants attacked collectively, only he could launch a sonic attack with a wide impact. Although it was not too strong, it was just right to deal with this group of ants whose strength was similar to that of rabbits.
At the same time, the giant pangolin's concubine also came near a group of ant colonies.
Just when Xu Xin was wondering what it wanted to do, it suddenly stretched out its long tongue and rolled an ant the size of a kitten into its mouth.
Oh boy! Buffet!
Xu Xin almost forgot that pangolins eat insects and ants!
To it, this ant colony is simply a large high-end buffet!
The surrounding ants were not targeting the tree house for the time being and were waiting on the spot. When they saw their companions being killed, they all attacked their beloved concubine.
But the beloved concubine didn't care at all. The group of ants couldn't break its hard scales at all. Instead, their mouthparts were broken one by one and were rolled into the concubine's mouth one by one.
Perhaps due to the high consumption during the lactation period, coupled with the fact that she was on the verge of being promoted to a mid-level mutant beast, Ai Fei's appetite was very large. Under Xu Xin's gaze, she ate hundreds of them without stopping, and the broken scales on her body began to slowly repair themselves.
I really don't know how such a hard scale armor was broken. Was it domestic violence caused by that huge guy
By the way, that giant pangolin not only mixed with a group of mutated pangolins, but also abandoned its two offspring who had its own giant bloodline. Why on earth did that
I can’t figure it out, so I can only wait for the future to reveal the connection and difference between these two mutations.
At this time, someone among the explorers finally spoke up.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I have dug a circle of pits around the tree house. Let me give it a try first! Let's see if these ants have the ability to cross this circle of fire pits! Brother Xin, give me the blood thorn vines!"
"Okay." Xu Xin initiated a deal with him and traded him enough blood thorn vines.
On the other side, Zhao Xiaochuan stood under the tree house, looking a little thin and wearing iron armor.
He quickly spread the blood-thorn vines at the bottom of the pits he dug. The pits were one meter deep and two meters wide, and he had spent a lot of effort to dig out this circle.
At the same time, many ants passed by him, climbed straight up the tree trunk, crawled into the tree canopy, crawled along the bottom of the tree house to the edge, climbed into the tree house through the window, and began to gnaw on the walls and floor of the tree house.
Zhao Xiaochuan ignored them for the time being. He fired a flaming crossbow at the two-meter-wide ditch covered with blood-thorny vines.
"call-"
A huge fire instantly started from the place where the crossbow missed and quickly spread along the gully. He wanted to shoot a few arrows at other places, but it seemed unnecessary.
A few seconds later, raging flames surrounded the tree house, and a wall of fire more than one meter high and two meters wide rose around the tree house, swaying in the wind.
"Ha, the reverse application of the moat, I would like to call it: moat fire!"
Zhao Xiaochuan's face, which was turned orange by the flames, was covered with sweat. He wiped the sweat off his face and observed the reactions of the ants rushing into the flames.
Under his nervous gaze, many ants rushed into the wall of fire. Some fell into the fire pit and were burned to ashes before they came out. Some managed to run out, but the flames on their bodies did not go out. They took a few steps towards the trunk of the tree house and were burned to death. They also turned into ashes on the ground and drifted away in the wind.
"Beautiful, it worked!"
