Chapter 81 Hunting Team


    Luo Jun sighed in his heart. If it were not for the limitation of the martial arts, he would have been able to prepare for the cultivation of the Yuan-Practice Realm now at the third level of the solidification level.


    But on the surface, you still have to pretend to be a cold attitude.


    “Thank you for the reminder.”


    Su Yun smiled, suddenly his expression was slightly stunned, and he looked up.


    Luo Jun also looked along and saw more than a dozen large insects passing by through the gaps in the tree canopy.


    "It''s flying ant!"


    "so much?"


    Some people in the crowd exclaimed that flying ants occasionally appear near Lingyun City. Many hunters know them, but they are all sporadic one or two. It is indeed rare to appear so many at the same time.


    "We are getting closer and closer to the ant hole." Su Yun''s face turned serious: "Then moving forward will become more and more dangerous and ugly..."


    Luo Jun was slightly stunned. He understood the danger, what does ugliness mean?


    Soon, the answer appeared in front of Luo Jun.


    As the team advances, the light gradually becomes brighter.


    The sun, which was originally covered by the shade of trees, unscrupulously spread the sunlight on everyone''s heads.


    Because the originally dense branches and leaves were gnawed, only bare trunks were left, standing crookedly on the ground, many trees even showed signs of death, the roots were bitten, the soil was turned open, the trunk collapsed and eroded, and even the flowers and plants on the ground were pulled clean, and there were traces of burning in many places, and there were no signs of animal movement!


    It is clearly still in the jungle, but it gives people a sense of desolation in dry land.


    "Are these... all fire ants done?"


    Suddenly, surprising sounds were made in the team.


    Most hunters have been cultivated in the main world for several months, and have only entered the wilderness to hunt for a month. Even if they are diligent, they have to replace each other every month. Therefore, for the vast majority of hunters present, the last time they came here was a few months ago, and the fire ants had not yet developed.


    How could you not be shocked when you see the familiar dense jungle in your memory turning into wasteland? This also made the hunters realize that this hunting is not just a money-making task. The emergence of this group of pests has threatened the nearby ecology and even Lingyun City.


    "Fire ants are creatures accustomed to darkness." Su Yun whispered to the nearby hunters: "During the day, they are mostly dormant in the ant holes, and even if they come out to move, their vitality is relatively low. At night, the land we are now placing on is full of fire ants. They are expanding outward every day, and their food is very mixed. Whether it is plants or animals, they will be eaten up by them!"


    After hearing his introduction, the hunters'' expressions became serious.


    Soon, the team arrived at the destination, by the lake to the northwest of the ant hole.


    This lake is not big, about three or four kilometers in a row, and because the water is clear and sweet, it is called the sweet water lake and is the main source of water for nearby animals. But now, no creature dares to drink water here.


    The team stopped here and looked southeastward and could see the huge ant nest standing among the many dead trees.


    The ant nest is generally cylindrical, but the upper end is slightly narrow and the bottom end is slightly thick, like a tall tower. The material looks similar to concrete, exuding a cold, hard and rough texture. The ant holes are covered with holes, which are dense and irritating. I have to observe that the height is four or five hundred meters, and the diameter must be about two hundred meters. Compared with the description on the task list, how many times is it bigger!


    "Let''s set this place as a gathering place." Several guides warned the hunters: "Next, how many ants can be hunted depends on your ability. We will stay here to help. Remember, be sure to return here before five o''clock, and the team will set off on time. Otherwise, when the sun sets, the fire ants will be in full bloom. No matter how capable you are, you may be buried in the ant''s mouth!"


    Although the wild world cannot make too small clocks, the sunshine here is similar to the equator of the earth. The length of day and night is almost unchanged throughout the year. You can roughly judge the time by looking at the position of the sun.


    What''s more, there are tools like Luo Jun, which set the treasure box as a watch, which is convenient for timekeeping.


    After the guides finished talking about the precautions, the hunters dispersed and moved towards the ant hole in their respective teams. Luo Jun has no teammates, so he can only act alone. However, he was also very careful and tried to follow the crowded team as far as possible. In case of danger, it would be convenient to ask for help.


    Fortunately, the fire ants were gnawed clean nearby, and there was nothing left except large areas of dead trees. There was basically no need to worry about dangers other than ants.


    As the guide said, during the day, the fire ants prefer to hide in their nests. Hunters basically gained nothing on the periphery. Only a few teams caught a few lonely worker ants, and a few tentacles were worth a lot of money.


    …


    "It seems that if you want to gain something, you still have to go to the ant hole."


    Dong Huicheng grabbed a handful of dry soil and frowned at the ant hole in front of him.


    As a senior hunter, Dong Huicheng has been hunting in the wilderness for more than three years. During this period, his best record was to kill a giant claw with a hunting level of 5 last year. Many masters who concentrate on their mind also find it difficult to kill this kind of monster. He can successfully kill with the Peiyuan realm, which is based on solid basic skills.


    That hunt made him famous in Lingyun City, and finally he formed a team of five people this year. However, the operation team is different from fighting alone. With so many mouths, insufficient funds have become the most common problem compared to the danger of hunting.


    So when I saw this large-scale mission, Dong Huicheng joined without hesitation.


    Ants are not the kind of prey that moves in groups of three or three. This thing can be hundreds of thousands. If you go well, you can return to the main world to cultivate for a long time.


    But now, the task is not as simple as imagined.


    During the day, the fire ants do not come out to move. If you want to get the spoils, you can only risk getting close to the ant hole.


    "Just go! What are you afraid of!"


    The tallest warrior in the team, carrying a giant axe and carrying a big shield, smiled and said, "Aren''t the soldier ant just a level three monster? Isn''t it a little bit!"


    "This time is different!" Xu Hao, who was carrying a short bow on his back, shook his head: "Thirty-five levels of three or five levels of three are not a problem, but if hundreds of them surround us, let alone us, the elite-level group will have to retreat."


    "I''m afraid of this and then I''ll do a bird mission!" Deng Yuanlong curled his lips, and a chuckle came from beside him: "Don''t worry, there are more than one team, there are hundreds of people, there are always those who go further than us."


    The person who spoke was a tall short-haired girl named Han Xiaoying, with a long waist and a short waist and two knives. She was an agile killer.


    "I care more about the one behind me than hunting." The last person in the team was an intellectual beauty with frameless glasses named Bai Renxin. She was the only state of mind in the team, but her awakening ability is healing, and her combat ability is not as good as that of others.


    Bai Renxin pushed her glasses and looked behind her. Her teammates looked in the direction she suggested and saw a young man wearing plain clothes, holding a long spear and a narrow shield, and following them from a distance.


    "I also noticed it." As an archer, Xu Hao already had a perceptual tendency: "Short long after disbanding from the Sweet Lake, this kid followed us, and I don''t know what purpose it is."


    "Maybe I''m afraid..." Dong Huicheng remembered the embarrassment he had when he first entered the wilderness and worked alone: ??"Look at his equipment is very simple, he should be a newcomer. If it weren''t for helplessness, how could he participate in such a dangerous mission alone? Let him follow him. If something happened, help you in the best of his ability."


    "In this wilderness of monsters everywhere, as long as it is humans, they are all compatriots."


    …
