Chapter 277 Fire Ants
Half an hour passed quickly, and after a short rest, everyone's condition recovered a lot.
Seeing that the members of Johns' team had returned to normal, Chi Yao waved his hand to open the closed cave, and glanced at his watch, which showed 9 o'clock in the evening.
"After the rest, continue to set off. We must reach the nest of the fire red ants before the end of today."
Under the guidance of Chi Yao, everyone continued to move deep underground. The formation was still the same as before, with Chi Yao leading the way and Tonino Harvey at the rear.
At this depth, Chi Yao also saw the kind of red fire red ants, and its detection information showed that it was indeed "Fire Pattern Creation·Ant Type·Bright State".
Compared with the previous dark state fire red ants, the attributes of the bright state fire red ants are stronger, but the skill information is almost the same as the dark state.
The detected information made Chi Yao feel a little relieved. The bright state fire red ants still have the preset weakness of "vibration sensitivity", which is a good thing for himself and others.
Therefore, Chi Yao arranged an optimal route based on the map of Johns' team and the road conditions detected by his perception: try to avoid collisions with the bright red fire ants, and take decisive action if you can't avoid them.
Along the way, Chi Yao attacked the three red fire ants that everyone encountered alone. Tonino Harvey originally wanted to help, but was persuaded by Chi Yao.
Chi Yao wanted to practice more in actual combat, test which vibration frequency has the greatest impact on the red fire ants, and then use magic to simulate the vibration.
When facing the third bright red fire ant, Chi Yao gradually mastered the skills. He no longer chose to strictly form the mud into a shackle, but controlled the mud to wrap the red fire ant tightly like an unformed mud dough.
Under Chi Yao's control, the mud covered the joints of the red fire ant's body and even the antennae to resonate together. The vibration frequency was even closer to the weakness of the red fire ant after multiple modifications!
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The fire ants wrapped in mud cried out and immediately collapsed to the ground.
Tonino Harvey looked at Chi Yao's operation and muttered thoughtfully.
"So that's how it is. Different parts of these fire ants have different sensitivities to vibrations, as well as the frequency of sound waves. I also want to try to adjust it, but unfortunately there are no fire ants nearby."
Just when Chi Yao wanted to reply to Tonino Harvey's words, he suddenly turned his head to look at an empty cave entrance. He sensed an unfriendly breath rushing into his perception circle.
Chi Yao frowned slightly, put his hand on the rock wall beside him, and extended his perception to the front, making everything detected within the perception range clearer.
Boom boom boom——
The continuous vibration sound was like the sound of thousands of horses galloping, and it was constantly transmitted from the rock wall in the distance to Chi Yao's palm.
Chi Yao glanced at Tonino Harvey, wondering if he had the ability of a crow's mouth, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Brother Harvey, Johns, be careful, there is a neat team rushing towards us, there are twenty fire red ants!"
"And they seem to be much bigger than the ones we encountered before! They are likely to be elite individuals in the ant colony."
When Tonino Harvey heard what Chi Yao said, his face was eager to try.
"Don't worry, second brother, they are here at the right time, watch me knock them all down cleanly!"
Chi Yao knew that Tonino Harvey was confident in his own strength, so he didn't say anything more.
Chi Yao turned his head to look at Johns and his team and reminded them.
"Stay behind us, keep a certain distance, but don't stay too far away, you don't need to intervene in the next battle."
Johns immediately put on a slightly apologetic smile on his face, and retreated dozens of meters with his team members, choosing to hide in a corner of the mine behind.
"Boom boom————"
The resounding impact sound came from far away.
Chi Yao had just settled the members of Johns's team when the fire red ant team in the distance had already rushed through the cave entrance, bringing up a trail of dust and appeared in front of Tonino Harvey.
The moment Tonino Harvey saw the fire red ant team, the smile on his face paused and he couldn't help but restrain himself a little.
Because the fire red ants in front of him were completely different from the ones he had seen before.
The body size had almost doubled, and the red carapace on its body looked ferocious, and the flame patterns on the carapace seemed to be jumping and lifelike.
If the dark fire red ants before were old men, and the bright fire red ants were ordinary young people, the fire red ants in front of him were elite warriors.
Chi Yao activated the detection effect of the law on the fire red ants in front of him.
[You have activated the fate inspection and are comparing the luck attributes of both parties..., the comparison is completed, our luck is 11.5 times that of the enemy, and we will obtain 100% of the enemy's information. 】
Information is as follows:
Fire Emblem Creation·Ant Type·Bright State·Elite Type (Fire Ant)
Health: 100%
Mana: 350/350
Strength: 55
Agility: 35
Stamina: 50
Intelligence: 35
Charm: 10
Luck: 2
Skill 1, Fire Emblem·Elite Type: Health increased by 2000 points, fire ability greatly improved, flame resistance greatly improved.
Skill 2, Ant Type·Mining Expertise: Ant-shaped creation, with most of the abilities of ants. Excavation and mining capabilities increased by 200%.
Skill 3, Ant-type · Combat Expertise: Combat ability is greatly improved, with sharp claws, huge jaws and hard shell. Melee attack power increased by 60%.
Skill 4, Energy Cycle · Fire: It can absorb energy of flame and solar attributes to evolve spontaneously. When seriously injured, it can also absorb fire energy to quickly repair injuries and restore mana.
Skill 5, Enhancement · Flame Output: Consume mana, and continuously output bright red flames from the mouthparts, causing 400~800 points of flame damage.
Skill 6, Enhancement · Burning Body: Consume mana, so that the body's shell always emits high temperature, which can continuously cause 80 points of fire damage per second to the target approaching.
Skill 7, Vibration Sensitivity (encrypted protection): The preset weakness of the creature, the resistance to sound wave vibration is slightly low, and it will enter a state of shock. (This creature's weakness has been encrypted multiple times, and the frequency of non-specific combinations will only cause a 1% vibration effect.)
Chi Yao saw the last skill description of "Vibration Sensitive (Encrypted Protection)" and felt something was wrong. He immediately looked at Tonino Harvey in front of him and shouted.
"Be careful!"
Tonino Harvey stretched out both hands, and circles of sound waves spread out from his hands, causing several fire ants in front of him to stiffen for a moment, but that was all.
The few fire ants in the front almost immediately relaxed from their stiff state, their huge jaws opened wide, their two front claws raised high, and chopped down like a red sickle!
Thanks to Chi Yao's reminder, Tonino Harvey was mentally prepared. Seeing that he couldn't hit it, he immediately folded his hands into a trumpet shape and placed them beside his mouth.
Get out! ! ! !
At the moment when Tonino Harvey put his hands together, his mouth opened and closed, and a huge roar sounded like thunder from the ground, and huge ripples spread forward, blowing away several fire ants that raised their front paws in front of him!
And Tonino Harvey, who had just released a "Lion Roar Skill", turned pale instantly. This sudden big move consumed a lot of his physical strength. He immediately retreated to Chi Yao's side and softened his tone.
"Second brother, thank you for your reminder just now. You should also be careful. The method we explored before doesn't seem to work."
Chi Yao looked at the fire ants that were blown away and had climbed up from the pit, adjusting their posture to face Chi Yao and the others again.
Chi Yao stretched his right hand to the side, and a magic sickle with a pure black background and golden patterns appeared in Chi Yao's hand.
As Chi Yao's right hand grasped the reverse luck, it seemed that the whole cave trembled for a moment, and he said leisurely.
"Brother, it's still the same method, but we need to try a few more combinations of vibration frequencies."
"It doesn't matter if we can't find the answer, we can just tear them apart!"
First update.
