The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2787 Bloodthirsty Bullet Ant

Chen Mo knew that his repellent pill was effective because the ants did not rush towards them, and only a few that escaped the net rushed over and bit their defenses.

Of course, these ants seemed to have an underdeveloped sense of smell or something, and the effect of the elixir was not too obvious. They would only avoid it when it was about one or two meters away. This meant that the elixir still had its flaws.

However, there is no problem for him, Ouyang Ruoxi and Ouyang Nana to use it. Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they can kill them one by one and it won't cause too many problems.

Seeing Ouyang Ruoxi turning her head to look at her, she smiled slightly to indicate that she had received the message. Then she turned around as if nothing had happened and continued to attack the fish that had escaped the net.

Ouyang Ruoxi also smiled slightly, and then concentrated on dealing with the ants that rushed in front of her. From time to time, she would switch positions with Ouyang Nana to support other warriors in the family.

Feeling that the elixir could play a role, he relaxed a little. When he first came into contact with the ants, he was still a little worried. After all, there were too many ants, so if the elixir didn't work, he would have to protect Ouyang Ruoxi.

With so many ants, once they break through the defense, the bite will definitely be very painful, especially when some people shout that it is poisonous after being bitten, which naturally makes Chen Mo worried.

Looking at the overwhelming ants crawling in front of him, Chen Mo always had a feeling that he seemed to have seen these ants somewhere, but he couldn't remember where. It's not that he had never encountered a large army of ants, just like when he was in Xiye Ancient City, he encountered a large army of ants, but it was not that familiar.

So while dealing with the fish that slipped through the net, I was trying to recall where I had seen it before or had some impression of it. Unfortunately, I just couldn't remember where I had seen it before or had any impression of it.

At this time, the three masters of the tenth level of the acquired realm had already climbed very high, and looking from the ground, they should have almost reached the top of the cliff.

In fact, from the time the team arrived at the cliff on this side of the Great Rift Valley, arranged for people to climb up, and the army of ants attacked, and Qian Ying worked as a lumberjack to cut down all the surrounding trees, it didn't take very long, only a few minutes.

Therefore, the three people were about to climb to the top of the cliff without wasting much time. It was also because of the escort of Qian Ying and other three innate masters that the three warriors were able to climb to the top of the cliff.

Qian Ying looked back and felt a little relieved. After the three of them went up, they would lower the rope and let the other warriors climb up. They should be able to escape the attack of these ants. In addition, he felt that these ants would not chase out of the Great Rift Valley, otherwise how could there be no traces of these ants on it?

You know, you can tell at first glance that these ants are very difficult to deal with. There are no other animals in the Great Rift Valley, probably because of these ants. Otherwise, how could there be no other animals in the forest of the Great Rift Valley?

Especially the skeletons, which indicate that there should have been many animals here, but after being devoured by these ants, layers of remains were formed and buried in the Great Rift Valley.

But before Qian Ying could relax for long, he heard a series of sonic booms.

"Bang! Bang! Bang...!" The sounds were like bullets firing from a gun, making a huge noise that spread throughout the Great Rift Valley and echoed.

However, the sound is not scary. The scariest thing is these things that are like bullets fired from a gun.

I saw red ants the size of an adult's head appearing in an area not far away. These ants were very fast, as if they appeared there in the blink of an eye.

When these human head-sized ants appeared, they did not rush towards the crowd like the children's fist-sized ants, but stopped where the tree fell. Then, these adult head-sized ants grabbed the small ants around them and used a protrusion on their tails to directly flick the small ants away.

After the small ant was caught by the big ant, it automatically curled up into a ball and was flung out like a bullet. The speed at which it flung out was quite fast, otherwise there would be no detonation sound.

In just a moment, the ants as big as human heads, whether on the ground or on the trees, all bounced away the small ants. Then, the three people who were about to climb to the top of the cliff were attacked by these ants.

"Boom...!" The sound was endless. The three of them hurriedly strengthened their own blood defense and wanted to use the weapons under their feet to go upwards. Then they could grab the rocks on the top of the cliff or something. As long as there was a chance to use the force, they could reach the top of the cliff in an instant.

However, what was unexpected was that these ants that were bounced over actually exploded directly after coming into contact with the blood and qi defense, as well as the cliff walls and other materials.

Suddenly, the Qi and blood defense was shattered by the explosion of tens of thousands of ants. The three warriors were not careful for a moment and their defenses were broken. After the impact, they could not stand firmly and fell down directly.

The ants that bombarded the cliff also blasted down large pieces of rocks, forcing the many warriors below to only dodge the falling rocks. For a moment, several warriors who had been defending themselves well were bitten several times by the ants because their qi and blood defenses were broken.

"Damn it!" Qian Ying was immediately furious. He didn't expect these ants to have such attack methods. He was thinking about escaping from the Great Rift Valley, but instantly lost hope of escaping again.

Of course, it would be very easy for him, Zhou Zixing, and Ma Sanxing to climb to the top of the cliff. They could climb up in a few steps with the help of the cliff. However, if he did so, all the other warriors would be left in the Great Rift Valley.

The attacks of these ants, as well as their numbers, if it weren't for the three of them helping in the defense, then all the post-natal warriors would have basically been defeated. The ants' abilities were not only large in number, but also strong, each of them was as strong as a martial artist, and the defense was the same. Even if one was at the tenth level of post-natal, it would be difficult to deal with these ants.

There are simply too many of them to be killed.

When Qian Ying saw the three warriors falling down, he angrily rushed to the big ants that were still shooting ants, and directly used a field to wrap them up in his own field.

Then, he used his innate power to crush these big ants to death.

However, I didn't expect that these ants did not die instantly, but still had the ability to resist.

As expected, to be able to grow this big, its strength should not be underestimated.

Increase the output of innate power, and then these ants will be squeezed and exploded one after another.

However, Qian Ying was also somewhat surprised that these human-sized ants could actually have defenses up to the second level of the acquired realm. Moreover, there were so many of them that he had just used his innate strength to crush all the large ants in the area, and actually consumed one-fifth of his innate strength.

What surprised Qian Ying even more was that outside the area, ants as big as human heads were now densely packed like locusts, swarming from the ground to the branches and treetops. There were so many that they were too numerous to count. At a glance, there were ants of all sizes.

Every ant the size of a human head has many small ants around it. And as these ants move forward, they constantly use the protrusions on their tails to launch balls of small ants curled up.

"Bang! Bang! Bang...!" The sounds continued, and the blood and energy of many warriors here, including Qian Ying's domain barrier, were rapidly declining.

The attack power of the small ants was much higher than the previous biting and tearing. The entire cliff above the warrior's head was riddled with holes from the attacks of these ants, and rocks of all sizes were also broken and fell.

"Elder Qian!" Zhou Zixing shouted loudly at Qian Ying.

He and Ma Sanxing were originally protecting three warriors, but now not only have they lost the objects they are protecting, their innate domains have also been greatly reduced by the attack, to just one meter around their bodies. They are also constantly attacked by ants, and their qi and blood energy are also flickering and being rapidly consumed.

Zhou Zixing called out to Qian Ying because he could no longer hold on, and the warriors from his family suffered heavy casualties after this attack.

Especially some weak warriors, who had already fallen to the ground without any response. However, in such a crisis, other warriors could not go to check and could only defend against the ants' attacks first.

In addition, as the ants exploded, waves of bloody smell became stronger, making the entire attacking army of ants more and more manic, as if the bloody energy would stimulate them.

At this time, Chen Mo also unfolded his own true energy, simulating the blood and qi defense of a warrior, and defended each ant one by one. He also felt that his true energy was depleted more after being attacked by these ants.

Fortunately, he had various means of replenishment, not only spiritual fluid, but also several kinds of elixirs, which could replenish his true essence, so he was not as panicked as other warriors.

Now, he finally remembered what these ants were and where he had seen them.

These ants are blood-eating ants, a type of ant in the world of cultivation. He had seen an introduction to them in Master Ye Shang's Qiankun Bag Pill Recipe, because these ants can be used to make pills and can also be tamed into mountain-guarding beasts.

Some sects in the world of cultivation use a variety of methods to train them into mountain-guarding beasts, and then use them in conjunction with formations to protect the safety of the sect.

Of course, to become a mountain guardian beast, you can't be a bloodthirsty bullet ant the size of a human head. The strength is equivalent to the first level of Qi training. At least you need to evolve to the foundation building stage, and the size of each ant will grow as its strength increases, and finally it will be as big as a tiger beast to exert its power.

Each one of them has almost the strength of a high-level Foundation Establishment Stage, and there are tens of thousands of them, so when they attack, it is like an army of artillery shells, which is absolutely powerful.

However, this bloodthirsty bullet ant also has a disadvantage, that is, it is difficult to control. There are too many of them, and they can only be controlled through formations to attack enemies and friends. If they are released, these bullet ants will attack both friends and enemies indiscriminately. Even the queen ant cannot control all the bullet ants.

After all, there is only one queen ant, but there are tens of thousands of ants in the colony.

Therefore, through the constraints of the formation and the formation tokens, we can distinguish between friends and foes. As long as you enter the formation without a token, you will become the target of attack by the bloodthirsty ants and the bullet ants.
