Chapter 10 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas
The team stopped after rushing to the control area of the large ant nest.
Shen Yi gestured towards Arias, he and Ralph were the only summoned soldiers sitting in the black lightning.
Arias raised Barrett and shot a worker ant in the distance.
With that loud gunshot, a flash of lightning flashed across the body of the worker ant, and its entire body was blown away. The worker ant was not dead, it just waved its tentacles and let out a sharp siren.
Then I saw a group of soldier ants flying out of the ant nest in the distance.
Now that the battle has started, there is no room for retreat. The three cars backed up at the same time, Shen Yi, Zhou Yiyu and the fourteen summoned soldiers fired at the soldier ants together, and kept the distance as far as possible to avoid the fate of being besieged.
This is not only to show weakness to the enemy, but also has its own security considerations.
There are two ways to best combat a soldier ant stinger attack.
One is to simply let his defense power reach 144 points, so that he can't even deal basic damage, and the effect of poison damage cannot be reflected. But for ordinary zone adventurers, this is simply too difficult. Shen Yi and the others can't reach this number with their level of strengthening.
The other is to try not to give the soldier ants a chance to concentrate their fire attack. That is, as it is now, using the advantages of speed and range to carry out long-distance attacks and kite tactics.
At this moment, a hundred soldier ants rushed towards them roaring.
Shen Yi shouted loudly: "Stay away!"
Two off-road vehicles full of summoned soldiers dispersed to the left and right at the same time.
The colony of soldier ants in the sky flew out ten soldier ants to the left and right sides to chase and block it, and there were still 80 soldier ants in the center that were still chasing the black lightning. Although this group of soldier ants are not very intelligent, they also know who is the main target.
"Crack!" A gunshot rang out.
The bullet flew in a graceful arc in the air, and hit a soldier ant, drilled a big hole in its body, and then directly exploded on the soldier ant's body, even breaking off the soldier ant's wings. The soldier ant could no longer fly and fell towards the ground. It was the effect of a violent bullet made by Shen Yi himself.
When the soldier ant fell to the ground, a poisonous thorn shot towards Shen Yi.
The gentle hand stretched out like lightning, and was grabbing the poisonous stinger. The power of the poisonous thorn was not lost, and it shook a few times in the gentle hand before it came to rest.
"You have obtained a stinger, which can be used by throwing. The damage is 28*throwing specialization level. After hitting the target, it will produce 3 points of poisonous damage per second for 5 seconds. The stinger effect can be stacked infinitely. This item can be Use auxiliary devices such as bows and launchers, and the damage is calculated according to the characteristics of the auxiliary device."
"Eh?" Rourou snorted softly, she just wanted to further exercise her high-speed nerve response ability by grabbing the poisonous thorn, but she didn't expect to have such an unexpected effect.
She announced the heraldic reminder for everyone to see, and everyone was stunned. Shen Yi smiled and said: "It turns out that this kind of thing is intercepted without attacking the designated target, and it can be directly attributed to us. Very good, gentle, find a way to catch more poisonous stingers, it is useless without this thing."
"None of us can throw specialization, and we don't have any auxiliary devices."
"Then keep it as a spare, take the good things first and talk about it later."
Speaking of which, Shen Yi aimed another shot at the soldier ants in the distance, this time he used the moon shooting skill, and shot through twelve soldier ants in one go. The sting attack of soldier ants is generally used when encountering serious injuries. Usually, it will attack whoever attacks it. This shot of shooting the moon caused the dozen or so soldier ants to scream and shoot poisonous stings at Shen Yi at the same time.
Rourou jumped up, drew a graceful arc in the air, flashed her slender hands, and even grabbed six of them in one go, but she was also hit by three poisonous thorns and fell back into the car.
She casually pulled out the poisonous thorns on her body, flicked the whip, and lashed towards the ants in the air. I wanted to attract a few more soldier ants and then use poisonous stings on myself, but I didn't expect a sharp roar to sound from the ant colony, and the huge general ant had already rushed out of the ant colony, staring tenderly with a pair of big eyes.
Shen Yi's complexion changed slightly: "It's the general ant who is directing the attack, protect me and be gentle!"
All the soldier ants in the air suddenly shot poisonous stings at the same time,
A total of sixty-seven poisonous thorns roared and shot towards Wen Rou.
This attack was so fierce that even gentleness could not resist it. In particular, the stinger's attack is less than 50 points, and the rose flower array cannot be activated for protection. Fortunately, at this moment, Fatty's mental power armor has covered Wenrou, and at the same time, Shen Yi's T1000 has also landed on Wenrou.
Gentle Throwing Whip jumped up, stretched out her hands, and unexpectedly caught eight poisonous stingers in one go, almost all of the remaining poisonous stingers hit her body. First, the T1000 armor was shattered, then Fatty's mental power armor was broken by the poisonous thorns, and finally the fourteen poisonous thorns were directly nailed to Wen Rou's body, knocking her back into the car for the second time.
Shen Yi hurriedly caught her, and activated his despicable medical technique: "Gentleness!"
Gritting her teeth softly, she sat up, waved her hands repeatedly, and pulled out all the poisonous thorns on her body: "I'm fine."
"It's become a sieve, and you still say it's okay." Shen Yi said in a bad mood.
Although the scene just now was short, it was extremely dangerous. If all the sixty-seven poisonous thorns hit Wenrou, it would cause 200 points of damage per second to Wenrou, enough to poison Wenrou to death.
This is also the most difficult part to deal with the black ant nest. With the command of the general ants, it is very difficult for adventurers to disperse the poisonous sting attacks of the soldier ants. When M7 was able to defeat the army of soldier ants, it was done without the command of general ants, otherwise at least one of them would have to die.
In contrast, a small ant nest without ants is much easier to deal with, and it is easy to lure out the poisonous stinger, but the harvest is minimal.
After blocking this round of swarm attack, the biggest threat to this group of soldier ants was eliminated, and the subsequent battles were easier to fight.
Shen Yi pointed at the ants colony in the air: "Kill them!"
Everyone jumped on it together.
———————————
Luo Ji is holding up a binoculars to observe the distant battlefield.
While looking at it, he said: "Six adventurers, two for long-distance attack, four for melee combat, and the rest for summoning. Pay attention to that woman, she should be a high-sensitivity adventurer, very fast, probably has acceleration skills, and can catch damage The poisonous stinger with a power of 48 points has reached at least 48 points, and it may be the main force in melee combat among them. The adventurer with healing skills has strong long-range skills, and his melee combat skills should be weak. If you want to do it, kill him first. Others see It sounds normal, but that car is very fast, no wonder if you dare to attack a double C-level ant nest, even if you can’t attack it, you can at least run away.”
While watching, this person analyzed the strength of the Broken Blade team members.
To deal with this kind of large ant nest, the first thing you need is a good car, then a strong enough long-range attack power, and finally an instant defense ability. As for the frontal combat power, it is not that important.
The Broken Blade team properly showed their local strength, which gave the opponent the illusion that this is a highly targeted team, good at dealing with fierce beasts and completing tasks, but in the face of combat methods More complex, more capable, and more cunning adventurers, they can't do it.
If the Broken Blade team is too weak, this group of people will have doubts.
"But it still won't be our opponent." Said an adventurer beside him.
"It's best not to be careless." Another human said: "It's not that they didn't see us, and they dared to fight under our noses. They probably have a backhand."
Luo Jihu smiled: "I think so too, who dares to come to this kind of place without playing cards?"
"Then what do we do now?"
"Wait a little longer, let them play more time. Since they are here, they should be sure. See what their hole cards are before making a decision."
The bearded man is very cautious and is not in a hurry to attack.
People's vigilance has its limit, especially in this kind of high-intensity battle, it is impossible to be on guard against others all the time. He can wait for the opponent to fight for a whole day, and wait for the target's physical strength and defensive psychology to drop significantly before making a move. Anyway, the other party can't solve the ant nest within a day or two.
Waiting a day for at least six pieces of gear is worth it!
—————————
The battle on the hills continues.
As the first group of soldier ants was wiped out, two more groups of soldier ants flew out.
However, these two teams of soldier ants still failed to cause too much trouble to the Broken Blade team. They used their mobility advantage to kill these soldier ants one by one. As the number of targets decreased sharply, the threat level became lower and lower. In the end, he launched a charge to split, tear, and destroy the opponent one by one.
After fighting for six hours, there were already two hundred corpses of soldier ants lying across the wilderness.
The remaining soldier ants began to fly back, turning from offense to defense, which forced the Broken Blade team to go deep.
The moment they entered the attack circle, all the worker ants took action, surrounding Shen Yi and the others from all directions. At the same time, another three groups of soldier ants flew out, joined the previous soldier ants and pressed down from the air.
The sky and the ground are densely packed with black ants, and their buzzing sounds converge into a huge sound wave, like a raging sea tide.
This is the first time Wen Wen Honglang and others have seen such a large-scale scene. They were shocked by the tide of beasts all over the mountains and plains for a while, and even the group of adventurers who were watching behind were terrified.
This is the most difficult part of attacking a large ant nest-when the casualties exceed one-fifth, the queen will order to shrink. All soldier ants and worker ants will fight on their own fixed sites. At this time, no matter how you lure them, they will not attack. But if you dare to approach, they will surround you on all sides. At the same time, the queen ants will also start to increase the fertility of soldier ants to make up for the loss.
At this time, the effect that kite tactics can bring becomes negligible.
If it is still unable to defend under such circumstances, the queen ant will start to call for support, and at the same time all the remaining soldier ants will be dispatched together to attack the opponent with all their strength.
If they want to take down this ant nest within two days, the only way is to stop using free tactics and go head-to-head. That can increase their killing speed by ten times, and the danger will also increase by ten times.
For all these reasons, no adventurer in history has been able to take down a large ant nest within two days. But for Shen Yi, this "impossible" task has been experienced so many times that the difficulties in front of him are nothing.
Seeing that the number of soldier ants had risen to 400, Hong Lang finally shouted: "Why don't those guys make a move?"
The number of black ants is increasing, but they can't use all their strength to deal with it. In the case of a frontal attack, it is very dangerous to retain their strength.
Shen Yi lowered his head and glanced at the handheld computer, the screen clearly showed the eight people watching behind him. The bearded man thought he was hiding cleverly, but he couldn't escape the detection of the sky's eye after all.
"It seems that they still want to wait for a better opportunity to attack."
Hong Lang was furious: "These bastards are too cautious. How long are they going to wait?"
"When they think that our defensiveness has been relaxed, when we have exhausted all our cards..." Shen Yi replied slowly.
He looked at a large number of soldier ants flying in the air in front of him, and suddenly said loudly: "Since they want to see the hole cards, let's show them! Frost, take your people out of here, you know what you should do! Yu, let's do it!"
"Understood!" Zhou Yiyu released the mech, and the man quickly got in.
Jumping out of the black lightning, Zhou Yiyu crazily strafed the air, and the barrel of the Vulcan Cannon spewed out chains of bullets like fire dragons, weaving the entire sky into a steel barrage.
There was a rain of blood in the sky, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere. Zhou Yiyu was driving the VII power mech, as tall as a steel King Kong, standing majestically in the center of the battlefield, and immediately became the most attractive focus.
