I became a master of alchemy by picking up trash

Chapter 194 Xi Yuan Sai (Twenty)

Live live.

The host was stunned by the scene in front of him: "Master Zou, what is going on? How come the general ant came out of the body of the big red ant? Is it parasitism?"

Zou Huali shook his head: "I don't know either. I have never seen such a situation, and there is no record of it in the book."

Lin Zhi'an adjusted his glasses and said slowly: "In a colony of bee-like star beasts, if the queen bee responsible for reproduction is lost accidentally, for the continuation of the race, a certain drone in the colony will quickly change gender and become a new bee. Queen bee, this phenomenon is called feminization.”

"The behavioral patterns of insectoid asteroids are similar, and the ant tribe must have a developmental mechanism similar to the feminization of the bee tribe. The event that triggers this mechanism is likely to be the complete extinction of a certain differentiated form of red fierce ants."

"As we just saw, Chu Yunyi killed all the general fierce ants. In order to ensure the stability of the group, individual big red fierce ants quickly changed their forms and developed into new general fierce ants."

"Of course, the above statement is just my personal speculation and has no theoretical basis. You can just listen to it as a story!"

The host looked at Lin Zhi'an with admiration: "No, Master Lin, I think your guess is very reasonable. Maybe you have the truth!"

Lin Zhian sighed: "I hope I guessed wrong."

If the red fierce ants really have this abnormal development mechanism, it means that the tactic of catching the thief first cannot be used, and the Tianyi team can only fight with the ant colony until the last one is killed.

desert southwest.

Because Shangguan Xianyu continued to release Yuanling and mental power to maintain the defensive talisman formation, he was now completely exhausted and lying in Bai Ling's arms, dying.

Without her help, the burden of maintaining the defensive array fell entirely on Shangguan Linyuan's shoulders, and the effectiveness of the defensive array was greatly reduced.

Under the harsh temperature conditions, Yuanling was outputted almost continuously. Even though Shangguan Linyuan was less affected by the shackles of the Five Elements, his body and spirit were on the verge of collapse at this moment.

Every muscle in his body was sore and unbearable, Yuan Ling was running sluggishly, and a large amount of chaos power had accumulated in his body.If it weren't for Bai Ling to counsel him every half hour, Shangguan Linyuan might have gone berserk.

His body was constantly protesting, forcing him to stop transporting Yuanling, but Shangguan Linyuan knew that once he stopped, the defensive formation would immediately collapse, and the blood-sucking vines gathered around would definitely suck everyone into mummies within a few seconds.

The last energy stone in the team had been absorbed by him 10 minutes ago. At this moment, he showed signs of exhaustion of energy. It seemed that he was really at the end of his rope.

"Captain, I..." Shangguan Linyuan looked at Bai Ling guiltily, who smiled faintly at him, with no blame in his eyes.

"Linyuan, it's okay, you did your best."

In fact, Bai Ling didn't act so freely.The venue and format of this game were all in favor of the Desert Boat team. She did not believe that there was no intervention from the Greek Yuan competition team.

The entire Xiyuan City has high hopes for them, hoping that they can take advantage of the convenient conditions of this game to achieve a counterattack.It's a pity that the principal and the competition organization have calculated everything, but there is no luck.

Chen Qi's eyes were red, his knuckles turned white with his fists as big as sandbags, and he felt extremely depressed.

"Captain, are you just giving up?"

Bai Ling sighed: "We have no choice."

When they encounter vampire vines, their luck is really bad.Thanks to the persistence of the Shangguan brothers and sisters, it took them so long to admit defeat, which could be considered as saving some dignity for the Desert Ship.

They are the much-anticipated host team. It is already very disappointing not to win the championship. Now they have to abstain, which is simply a shame.But compared with death, abstention does not seem so difficult to accept.

Even though he knew Bai Ling's approach was right, Chen Qi still couldn't calm down his inner turmoil. In this game, he was the most useless one.

He is a mighty Tianjia Yuanling martial artist, and he has been a coward in the defensive formation from the beginning of the game to now.Seeing that Shangguan Xianyu's Yuanling was exhausted, Chen Qi wished he could transfer his useless elemental power to her, but this was just a delusion.

Everyone is a teammate. Bai Ling knows better than anyone how hard Chen Qi trains, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a chance to show it off. "Chen Qi, Linyuan can't hold on for long, don't waste time."

Chen Qi nodded sadly, stretched out his palm and hung it on his chest.Shangguan Linyuan was also ready to teleport.Bai Ling put one hand on her teleportation array, and the other hand placed on Shangguan Xianyu's body.

Shangguan Xianyu was lying on his back with his eyes on the ground, passing through the gap in the blood-sucking takraw ball, looking towards the desert in the distance, waiting for the teleportation to begin.

Just when Bai Ling was about to activate the teleportation talisman array, Shangguan Xianyu's weak voice floated up:

"Sister Bai...has fire..."

Bai Ling frowned, was she angry?What do you mean, is Xianyu's physical condition so bad that he is hallucinating?

Shangguan Xianyu weakly raised his hand, pointing to the bright red ball under the sand dune.Everyone saw it, it was really fire!In the dark night, that mass of red is simply the most dazzling existence in the world.

"Why is there fire here?" Bai Ling stretched her mental power to the extreme and finally discovered the secret of the fire.

"Oh my God, it's them! No-! It's impossible!"

Bai Ling did not show such a frightened expression when she was surrounded by blood-sucking vines. Chen Qi and Shangguan Linyuan couldn't help but feel more nervous than ever before. Could it be that they had encountered something scarier than blood-sucking vines?
Chen Qi: "Captain, is it a star beast? What kind?"

"Red, red-armored scorpion——!"

"Huh? Are you kidding me?"

Chen Qi is a native of Xiyuan, and his understanding of desert star beasts is as good as Zou Huali's.The red-armored scorpion is a star beast unique to the Earth Lung Region and will never appear in the desert, let alone a desert at night where the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero.

Bai Ling knew that Chen Qi wouldn't believe it, and she wouldn't believe it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

The huge size of the red-armored scorpion, coupled with the weight on its back, generated shock waves that traveled far.

The blood-sucking vines that gathered outside the defensive formation suddenly stopped attacking. Then they gave up on besieging the Desert Boat team and scrambled to turn around and roll towards the direction of the red-armored scorpions.

It only took a few seconds from being surrounded to disappearing.The external impact pressure suddenly decreased, Shangguan Linyuan fell to the ground suddenly as if he had punched nothing, and the defensive formation suddenly dissipated.

Without vampire vines blocking their view, Chen Qi and Shangguan brothers and sisters also saw the real body of the fire, each with a big mouth.

Chen Qi: "Oh my god, it's really a red-armored scorpion!"

Shangguan Linyuan: "Am I dazzled, is there someone on the back of the red armored scorpion?"

Chen Qi: "Damn it! There really is someone!"

Shangguan Xianyu: "..." Can you help me up first and then watch the fun?Don't step on my head so much!

By this time Bai Ling had woken up from the shock. No matter what method Li Xing and the others used to tame the red-armored scorpion, it didn't matter in the competition.

They have now escaped from the trap, and the top priority is to leave here while Li Xing and the others draw away the blood-sucking vines.

"Stop looking, hurry up and retreat! If the blood-sucking vine comes back again, we won't have a second chance!"

The twists and turns, the willows are dark, the flowers are bright, and I had planned to abstain, but I didn't expect to be saved at the last second.While everyone was overjoyed, there was a feeling of branching out.

Chen Qi picked up Shangguan Xianyu on his back and took the lead, running in the opposite direction to the red-armored scorpion.Bai Ling supported Shangguan Linyuan and followed closely behind.
