Secret Dice

Within a few kilometers of the ant nest, all the vegetation and animals have been eaten away, leaving only sparse dead trees on the desolate land, which is basically unobstructed.

In such an environment, although the hunter teams are fighting independently, they can still see each other. Looking from a distance, they can see several teams advancing together nearby, which also adds a sense of security.

But as we get closer to the ant nest, the terrain becomes more complicated.

Fire ants can use their secretions to combine with sand and soil to make natural concrete. These concretes can build strong and huge nests and can also change the terrain near the nests.

Within a few hundred meters of the fire ant nest, various irregular concrete structures began to appear. In essence, these were the foundations laid by the fire ants to further expand the nest. But now, there are only one or two layers of foundation, and in the eyes of the hunters, it looks like a huge maze.

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

Fire ants like dark environments. There are no traces of them under the scorching sun. However, there must be many hidden in this maze shaded by concrete walls. The narrow environment is the home of fire ants, so it is very dangerous.

Looking around, I saw that many teams had disappeared and must have entered the maze.

I have no choice, I came all the way here just for the reward. I can’t catch a few ants outside. If I don’t go in, I’ll have to leave empty-handed!

"Dalong takes the lead, Xiaoying follows him, Renxin is in the middle, Xu Hao provides long-range cover at position 4, I will break up the rear!" After arranging the formation, Dong Huicheng took out a small bottle: "Sprinkle them all on me Take Chuwei Powder, ants mainly rely on their sense of smell to identify prey.”

After being prepared, the group of people carefully entered the maze.

It is said to be a maze, but it is only a half-finished ant nest. Although it is surrounded by tall concrete blocks, light can still shine through. The hunters can rely on their extraordinary senses to grasp the movements around them.

Soon, Xu Hao in position 4 moved his ears and warned: "There is movement ahead..."

Deng Yuanlong immediately stopped, took off his shield with his left hand and stood on the ground, holding a big ax 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 lay on the ground and was longer than a commercial vehicle. Its huge head had big jaws, and its two front claws evolved into large claws.

The insect seemed to have noticed them, and suddenly raised its upper body upright, rushed a few steps toward the hunter, opened its mouthparts, and spit out a tongue of fire!

It's a soldier ant, just like the one described on the mission sheet!

Finally saw the prey!

Deng Yuanlong licked his lips and rushed forward with his big shield, blocking the blazing flames. Xu Hao snorted coldly, drew his arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow hit the soldier ant's open mouth!

The head was pierced by an arrow. The soldier ant stopped breathing fire, but was not completely dead. It continued to attack with its large pincers. Deng Yuanlong swung his ax and cut off the left pincer of the soldier ant with a click. He waved his shield again and blocked it. The right chela.

Taking this opportunity, Han Xiaoying jumped up high, passed over Deng Yuanlong's head, and took action with two knives. The short knife chopped off the soldier ant's head, and the long knife inserted into the cavity along the incision, and stirred hard, destroying the nerve center. Finally, this big insect was finally killed.

The operation is smooth and smooth, and the cooperation is tacit. 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 easily handle the level of a normal third-level monster by myself."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Captain Dong Huicheng removed the acid gland from the mouth of the soldier ant. This is an orange-sized gland that cannot store much acid. After a round of spraying, it takes a long time to wait.

After handing the trophies to Renxin to put away, Dong Huicheng warned: "We have never encountered this kind of prey before. They are species that can only exert their advantages in groups. This one is easy to deal with, but we must also deal with it carefully to avoid injury. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with large groups.”

As he spoke, he drew out his sword and chopped open the soldier ant's carapace.

"Don't rush and move on. Renxin, study the body structure of this thing, find its weaknesses, and increase the efficiency of future killings."

"Understood!" Bai Renxin took out a pair of thin gloves and put them on, took out a knife and began to dissect, while the others rested and watched nearby.

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

It turned out that this was a professional hunter. He could see that the soldier ant posed no threat to the team at all, but they still dealt with it cautiously. They also dissected the corpse to collect information to ensure that they knew themselves and the enemy... It seemed that they wanted to be an excellent hunter. It’s not just about being able to fight.

After observing the battle, Luo Jun couldn't help but compare the soldier ants with the giant centipede he encountered in the Tower of Decision. Although he didn't experience it personally, he could roughly estimate the strength of the soldier ants by looking at their movements and speed.

The two are quite similar. They are both insects, and they can also spray acid. However, the acid of soldier ants has an additional burning feature, which is more troublesome. But in other aspects, whether it is size, strength, or speed, soldier ants should be far inferior to giant centipedes.

Is this considered the level of a third-level monster? So what level would the big centipede be considered if placed here? Level 4?

Luo Jun has a rough idea of ​​level three monsters. It seems that three or five of them should be easily dealt with. If there are more, he will have to try it out. After all, I don’t know how powerful the flames are. If the number increases, it will be difficult for me to dodge a salvo.

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

"The strength of this monster's carapace is not too high, and a powerful and heavy attack can destroy its limbs. There are two weak points. One is a key point shared by insects. It is located in the hypopharyngeal ganglion on the chest, which is where Xiaoying just stabbed. Basically, it can be killed with one blow. There is another one, located under the end of the abdomen. This is the gonad that has not completely degenerated. Although it is not directly fatal, when stimulated, the ant's nerves will react violently, which can be described as severe pain by humans. , I guess it will make the ants temporarily paralyzed, allowing them to be slaughtered."

"In addition, there is another place called the acid gland. If this thing is damaged, the acid flowing back in the body can cause huge damage, but it may affect the quality of the loot. It is not recommended to attack unless it is absolutely necessary."

"If you really don't have a chance to attack the weak point, you can try to cut off the second pair of legs of the ant. The soldier ant fights with its front body upright. If the second pair of legs is destroyed, it will instantly lose its balance and weaken most of its combat effectiveness..."

Listing them out one by one, everyone in the team quickly conceived various combat ideas in their minds, and these ants were no longer so mysterious in their eyes.

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

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

"They must have been attracted by the smell of the corpse!" Dong Huicheng drew out his sword. The corpse of the prey would attract more prey. This was an unavoidable situation in hunting. They were mentally prepared and immediately lined up to meet the enemy.

Soon, huge soldier ants emerged from the maze in front of them. This time, there were more than twenty of them. As soon as they saw a few people, they straightened their upper bodies and pounced on them with their teeth and claws bared!
