Chapter seven hundred and eighty-ninth mysterious enemy
After three days, Yang Tian and others wiped out all the Tianshen ants surrounded outside the safe area, but in the end some of them slipped away. ¤The website address: ¤ Even so, after the battle, Yang Tian’s Xuan Ji Ring contained nearly one million Tianshen ants’ corpses. In addition, there were more than 200,000 pieces of equipment in various secrets and equipment, which was indeed much lower than that of the lava giant.
However, killing these Sky-Swallowing Ants is too difficult, and the speed is more than a hundred times faster than killing lava giants. Therefore, in terms of profit, these three days are absolutely crazy. Moreover, after these days of crazy killing, Yang Tian's level has been increased by level 2 again, and the others have also increased by one to two levels. The Soul-Devouring Tower is gradually approaching the level of upgrading to the Earth level.
Next, they put the task of exploring the jungle on the agenda again. Originally, Yang Tian planned to return to Baiyun City himself and let Huang Zhong and others continue to explore here, but in order for the king-level lumberjack to successfully open the passage, Yang Tian had to stay. The role his Xuan Ji Ring could play at this time was huge.
Continue along the road last time. When they arrived at the place where they had encountered the Heaven-Swallowing Ants before, they found that it was still terrible. At Yang Tian's instructions, they knocked on the ground and found that there was indeed an ant nest below. Yang Tian had no idea how big the nest was, but they knocked on the ground under the nearly kilometer passage, and they were actually full of ant nests.
However, at this time, there were few heaven-swalking ants in the ant nest. Occasionally, one ran out of the gap and was quickly eliminated by Yang Tian and others.
Yang Tian also discovered that there were actually a large number of ant eggs in this ant nest, and these ant eggs were the same as those that were exploded by killing the Tian-Swallowing Ant before, and can also be taken as pets.
Of course, the ant eggs in this ant nest are not very dense, which is very different from the whiteness that Yang Tian imagined. However, the area of this ant nest is too large. Even if the density of the ant eggs is not high, the total number is still considerable. According to Yang Tian's estimate, the number of ant eggs here should be no less than 300,000. If the unsurvivable ones are excluded, the remaining ant eggs should be more than 100,000, which is the same as the ant eggs that Yang Tian and others killed before. In other words, there are now more than 200,000 heaven-swalking ant eggs in Yang Tian's hands.
But now these ant eggs are distributed throughout the ant nest, Yang Tian doesn’t even know how big this ant nest is.
"Lord, if you want to collect all the ant eggs, the only way is to cut off all the thorns on this land and search them one by one. However, this takes a lot of time and requires a lot of lumberjacks." Huang Zhong and Yang Tian spent the longest time together. After seeing Yang Tian's hesitation, they immediately guessed what he thought, immediately put forward his own suggestions, and expressed their concerns.
Yang Tian was really very distressed. Even if so many ant eggs were sold, it would be a huge fortune. What's more, Yang Tian didn't plan to sell them at all, but wanted to use them to arm his army, which would be even more valuable.
After hesitating for a while, Yang Tian said: "We have limited understanding of the Ice and Fire Realm. The best way is to gain greater benefits for ourselves while advancing steadily. Although it takes a lot of time to dig ant eggs here, it is better than exploring aimlessly in the jungle! And I don't think we should release too many loggers, so that we cannot defend them effectively. It may cause unnecessary losses."
Huang Zhong hesitated and said, "But... lord. If there are too few lumberjacks, the progress will be even slower!"
"Slow down, just slow down!" Yang Tian said, "No one is competing with us in this place for the time being, and there is no loss at all."
Huang Zhong didn't continue talking at this time, and the matter was settled.
...
For four days, Yang Tian and others stayed here for four days in order to dig out all the heaven-swalking ant eggs. And they have not dug up all the ant eggs yet.
I don’t know if it was because the remaining power of the Tianswallowing Ant Colony was still alive, or because Yang Tian and others were lucky, they were all focused on digging ant eggs and did not encounter any attacks from wild animals, which saved them a lot of trouble.
But when they cleared to the center of the ant nest, they encountered a big trouble.
They cleaned the ant nest, not randomly digging in this area, but pushing from the outside to the inside. One advantage of this is that as long as the outermost thorn trees are cut off, Yang Tian and the others can leave a larger space for activity, and even if they encounter monsters attacks on the outside, they can have more reaction time. As for whether there are monsters inside, Yang Tian and others did not consider it at all. After all, this is the nest of the Tianswallow Ant Group. Yang Tian and others have a deep understanding of the horror of the Tianswallow Ant Group, so they naturally do not think that there will be other monsters here.
So after cleaning up two rounds, Yang Tian released several master-level lumberjacks. If it weren't for the distress of the Jue Realm Teleportation Stone, Yang Tian might have released all the lumberjacks in Xuanji Ring.
The following days went smoothly, but when the ant nest was only nearly a thousand square meters left, a strange phenomenon occurred, and the two lumberjacks in front suddenly fainted on the ground.
This scared Yang Tian and others. Could it be that they were poisoned? Yang Tian first thought of this possibility, but he immediately ruled it out. Because no poison can take effect so quickly.
When he rushed to the fainting lumberjack, he found that the lumberjacks had no wounds on their bodies and their faces were very normal, as if they were asleep.
Yang Tian immediately stretched his hands into their breath and found that everything was normal. There was a hint of weirdness in this matter. He would not think that these lumberjacks were really asleep. The most important thing is that he had been here for so long and had nothing to do. How could he speculate on the reason?
At this time, Huang Zhong and others also came here, and they also found nothing wrong.
Zhao Yun looked around and said, "Lord, why don't you ask a lumberjack or other ordinary people to come out and try it."
Yang Tian understood Zhao Yun's intention, which might be a good method. He immediately asked Hu Cong to call a master-level lumberjack who was not far away, and everyone was also focused on the slightest movement around him.
As the lumberjack slowly approached, the expression on his face gradually became uneasy. However, when he saw the lord looking at him with anticipation, he felt courage again. When he walked to the place where the two lumberjacks had fainted before, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief because he did not feel anything abnormal. But in less than three seconds, he saw him closing his eyes and falling to the ground.
This made Yang Tian and others even more confused. The lumberjack fainted in front of them, but they still did not notice any movement. This has to be said to be a very slap in the face.
Carl suddenly said, "Lord, my subordinates just sensed a faint mental fluctuation. It is very likely that there are things around him that are good at mental attacks."
Yang Tian was stunned, turned to look at Carl, and said, "Mental attack? Can people faint in an instant? Then isn't this skill very perverted?"
Carl shook his head and said, "Mental attack is not a skill. It is a way to directly influence or control others when the mental power is strong to a certain extent. In fact, our necromancers are also a way to attack mentally. We manipulate the undead creatures we summoned by ourselves to control the undead by our own mental power. Judging from the mental fluctuations just now, this mental power is not enough to control these lumberjacks, but only affect them and hypnotize them."
Yang Tian's heart moved and immediately let Huang Zhong and others move the three lumberjacks who fainted on the ground to a further place, and then pour some cold water on their faces.
After counting breaths, the three lumberjacks woke up. Seeing their confused look, Yang Tian knew that he could not ask anything.
However, the lumberjack who was called at the end walked up to Yang Tian and said a little embarrassedly: "Lord, little... the little one suddenly fell asleep if he didn't know why."
Yang Tian waved his hand and asked him to retreat to the back first. Now he had basically confirmed what Carl said in his heart. In order to prevent these lumberjacks from fainting again, he naturally could not let the other party get too close to here.
"Karl, do you know how powerful this thing is to attack with mental power?" Yang Tian asked with a try-and-see attitude.
Carl replied: "It's hard to say. If the other party is closer to us, it means that the thing is very weak, but if it is far away from us, it means that the thing has a strong ability."
Yang Tian looked at the remaining jungle that had not yet been renovated, and said, "From the current situation, the farthest distance from here should be around 30 meters. According to this distance analysis, how powerful is that thing?"
Carl thought for a while and said, "If this thing that uses mental power to attack has talent for mental power control, then the other party's comprehensive ability should be not much different from mine. But if it does not have the talent in this area and can hypnotize those lumberjacks in this way, relying entirely on their own mental power, it would be a bit out of heaven. It is likely that it has broken through some kind of shackles and become an existence that is separated from the mundane world."
