Chapter 82 Advance into the ant hole


    The vegetation and animals are gnawed in a radius of several kilometers, and there are only sparse dead trees left on the desolate land, which are basically unobstructed.


    In such an environment, although the hunter teams fought each other, they could see each other. From a distance, they could see several nearby teams moving forward together, which added a sense of security.


    But as we approached the ant hole, the terrain began to become more complicated.


    Fire ants can use secretions to fuse sand and soil to make natural concrete. These concrete can build strong and huge nests, and can also change the terrain near the nest.


    A variety of irregular concrete creations began to appear within a range of hundreds of meters near the Huoliyao Ant nest. In essence, this is the foundation laid by Huoliyao Ant to further expand its nest. Now, this only has one or two foundations, and in the eyes of hunters, it looks like a huge maze.


    Dong Huicheng came outside the maze and looked at the dim and deep "corridor" ahead, and fell into hesitation.


    Huoliyaoans like dark environments, and there is no trace of them all the way through the scorching sun, but there must be a lot of hidden in this maze of concrete walls. The narrow environment is also the home court of Huoliyaoans, which is very dangerous.


    Looking around, many teams have disappeared and must have penetrated into the maze.


    There is no way, I came from all the way to reward me. I couldn’t catch a few ants outside, so I had to return empty-handed if I didn’t go in!


    "The big dragon takes the lead, Xiaoying follows him, Renxin is in the middle, Xu Hao provides long-range cover at the fourth position, I will cut off the back!" After arranging the formation, Dong Huicheng took out a small bottle: "Spray some deodorization on his body, and the ants mainly rely on their sense of smell to distinguish prey."


    After preparing, the group carefully got into the maze.


    It is said to be a maze, but it is only a semi-finished ant hole. Although there is tall concrete covering the surrounding area, it can still shine through light. Hunters can rely on their extraordinary senses to control the movements around them.


    Soon, Xu Hao, who was in the fourth position, moved his ears and made a sound reminder: "There is movement ahead..."


    Deng Yuanlong immediately stopped, took off his big shield with his left hand and stood on the ground with a big axe in his right hand, ready to fight the enemy.


    After waiting for a while, a huge bug crawled out from the corner in front. It was lying on the ground longer than a business car. Its huge head had large jaws, and its two front paws evolved into large claws.


    The bug seemed to have noticed them too, and suddenly stood upright, rushed to the hunter a few steps, opened her mouth and spewed out a tongue of flame!


    It is a soldier ant, the same as described on the task list!


    Finally I saw the prey!


    Deng Yuanlong licked his lips and rushed forward with a big shield, blocking the blazing flames. Xu Hao snorted coldly, pulled the arrow and put the strings. With a whoosh, the arrow hit the open mouthpiece of the soldier ant!


    The head was penetrated by arrows, and the soldier ant interrupted the fire, but it was not dead yet. The big claw attack continued to wield, Deng Yuanlong waved his axe, cut off the left claw of the soldier ant with a click, and waved his shield and opened the right claw.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Xiaoying jumped high and flew over Deng Yuanlong''s head. He took a two-bit sword, cut off the soldier''s head of the short sword, inserted the long sword into the cavity along the incision, stirred hard, destroying the nerve center, and finally completely defeated the life of the big bug.


    The operation is smooth and the cooperation is tacit, and it can be seen that it is a mature team that has been working together for a long time.


    "But that''s it..." Deng Yuanlong curled his lips disdainfully: "I can handle the level of a normal level three monster by myself."


    "You can''t underestimate the enemy." Captain Dong Huicheng removed the acid gland from the mouth of the soldier ant. This is an orange-sized gland and cannot store much acid. After a round of spraying, it will take a long time to slow down.


    Leave the spoils to Renxin and put them away. Dong Huicheng warned: "We have never encountered such prey before. They are species that can only be used to cluster. Although this one is easy to deal with, we must also be careful to avoid injury, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with when encountering a large army." As he said that, he drew out his great sword and cut off the shell of the soldier ant.


    "Don''t rush to move forward. Renxin, study the body structure of this thing, find out the weaknesses, and increase the killing efficiency in the future."


    "I understand!" Bai Renxin took out a pair of light gloves and put them on, took out a knife and started dissection, while the others were resting and waiting.


    All this was seen by Luo Jun, who was hanging from behind, and secretly gave him a thumbs up.


    It turns out that this is a professional hunter. He could see that the soldier ant posed no threat to the team, but they still responded with caution and also dissected the corpse to collect information to ensure that they know themselves and their enemies... It seems that being an excellent hunter is not just enough to fight.


    After observing the battle, Luo Jun couldn''t help but compare the soldier ant with the big centipede he encountered in the Tower of Choice. Although he didn''t have a personal experience, he could roughly estimate the strength of the soldier ant based on the movement and speed.


    The two are quite similar. They are both insects and they will spray acid, but the acid of the soldier ant has a burning characteristic, which is more troublesome. But in other aspects, whether it is body size, strength, or speed, military ants should be far inferior to those of the big centipede.


    Is this the level of a level three monster? So what level is the big centipede considered here? Level 4?


    Luo Jun probably has a concept of level 3 monsters. It seems that three or five should be able to deal with them easily. If there are more, you have to try it. After all, I don’t know how powerful the flame is. As the number increases, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to avoid a round of volleys.


    Not long after, Bai Renxin completed the dissection. She took off her gloves, pushed her glasses, looked at the dismantled remains of the soldier ant on the ground, and explained to the few people indifferently.


    "The strength of this monster''s carapace is not too high. The strong and powerful attack can destroy the limbs. There are two weaknesses. One is the common key of insects. It is located in the subpharyngeal ganglia in the chest, which is where Xiaoying just stinged, and can basically kill it with one blow. The other is located below the end of the abdomen. This is a reproductive gland that has not completely degenerated. Although it is not directly fatal, when stimulated, the ant''s nerves will react violently. To describe it as a human feeling, it is severe pain. I guess it will cause the ant to fall into a brief numbness and be slaughtered."


    "In addition, there is another area where the acid glands are damaged. If this thing is destroyed, the acid flows backwards in the body can also cause huge damage, but it may affect the quality of the spoils. It is not recommended to attack unless it is absolutely necessary."


    "If you really don''t have the chance to hit your weakness, you can try to cut off the ants'' second pair of feet. The ants'' front-facing combat method. If the second pair of feet is destroyed, it will lose balance instantly and weaken most of its combat effectiveness..."


    Article one by one, and the people in the team quickly conceived various combat ideas in their minds. These ants were no longer so mysterious in their eyes.


    Luo Jun, who was following far behind, also concentrated his vitality on his ears. With extraordinary perception, he overheard these important messages and kept them in mind.


    "Huh?" Xu Hao suddenly frowned and listened with his ears: "Something is coming, there are a lot of it this time!"


    "It should be attracted by the smell of the corpse!" Dong Huicheng drew out the sword, and the corpses of the prey would attract more prey. This is an inevitable situation in hunting. They were mentally prepared and immediately lined up to fight the enemy.


    Soon, huge soldier ants emerged from the maze in front of him. This time, there were about twenty. As soon as they saw a few people, they stood upright and rushed up with their teeth and claws!
