Mortal Cultivation: I Have a Mirror of Absurdity

Chapter 25 25 Ant Colony

"Why are there things crawling on the shore? Are there any animals that can survive the evil spirit unharmed?"

The sound came from only thirty or forty meters away, and it was obviously coming from the evil spirit of fire. Wang Geng originally thought that there would be no animals on the island.

So, after hearing the sound, he immediately released his spiritual consciousness to investigate.

The next moment, forty or fifty fist-sized alien ants entered Wang Geng's field of vision.

Their heads are ferocious and terrifying, their bodies are as red as blood and translucent, and there are many black spots on their carapace. They are now lining up and crawling towards the coast.

When they reached the shore, these ants stretched out a pair of huge mouthparts and used the extremely sharp serrations on the mouthparts to harvest the moss on the ground.

For a while, there were noisy sounds of "creeping" and "creeping" along the coast.

What surprised Wang Geng was that these forty or fifty ants were all first-level monsters.

"What kind of ant is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Wang Geng has been in the world of immortality for more than ten years, and he is very knowledgeable, but he has never heard of such a strange ant.

Next, Wang Geng quickly took out a jade slip called 'Chaotic Star Sea Demonic Beast Simplified Manual' from his storage bag. It contained diagrams and brief introductions of various monsters.

He searched carefully against the alien ant monsters on the shore.

"Hiss! It's actually a mutated iron fire ant."

The group of fire ants in front of him are roughly the same in size and characteristics as the fire ants on the jade slips, except for slightly different body colors and spots. Wang Geng recognized them at a glance when he was flipping through the jade slips.

Iron fire ants are the thirty-seventh strange insect on the list of mortal strange insects. They are invulnerable and not afraid of most spell attacks. They can also spit black flames and have the ability to form groups and transform. They are the most powerful in the Chaos Star Sea. He's so famous, I didn't want to meet him accidentally today.

These strange insects on the shore only stayed for a short time. After eating and drinking, they picked up a piece of moss several times the size of their bodies and headed towards the west of Huoshao Island, gradually crawling out of Wang Geng's sight. .

Wang Geng originally wanted to continue on his way after recovering his mana, but now he suddenly saw the group of iron fire ants and immediately became interested, so he decided to stay for now and wait until dawn when the evil spirit subsided, then go to the island to explore and see if he could find a way to escape from the iron fire ants. Get some benefits out of the fire ant's nest.

Without further ado, the rest of the night passed in a blink of an eye.

Before the sun rises, the evil spirits on the island recede to the west and gradually disappear.

More than an hour passed before Wang Geng set foot on the island and explored the west after performing the Qi Condensation Surgery.

Huoshao Island is not big, and a large area is occupied by an extinct volcano, so Wang Geng only walked four or five miles and saw the nest of iron fire ants behind a large rock.

In front of you is a red volcanic ash mountain that is more than ten feet high. It is densely covered with dozens or hundreds of large and small holes. Iron fire ants are coming in and out of each hole.

Most of these fire ants are only as big as a fist, but there are a dozen or so larger fire ants that are as big as the head of a two- or three-year-old human child.

The heads, six legs and mouthparts of these fire ants are twice as large as other parts of their bodies, making them appear more powerful and at the same time more ferocious and terrifying.

What surprised Wang Geng the most was that they were all level three monsters.

They are different from the small iron fire ants that go out to forage. They only hang around the entrances of various holes and never leave their nests too far, just like guards guarding the city.

"The small fire ants are obviously worker ants, and these larger ones should be soldier ants."

Seeing so many iron fire ants that were comparable to the monks in the middle stage of human foundation building, Wang Geng immediately gathered his breath on the spot and did not dare to make any tests. He just observed silently with his naked eyes.

"This Fire Island is obviously inaccessible. This group of iron fire ants must have survived here for a long time. Since there are level three soldier ants in the ant colony, the queen should be a level four or even level five monster. Ant Nest Will there be top-grade weapon-refining materials like the Yin saliva flame crystal jade in it?"

Looking at the ant nest in front of him, Wang Geng had a sudden thought and thought of the top-quality weapon-refining material used to refine the Jinghong and Phantom twin needles.

Next, he first looked left and right with his naked eyes. After finding nothing, he let go of his spiritual consciousness and looked around, just to avoid alerting the fire ants and skipping the ant nest.

After a search, Wang Geng found no other nests in the ant colony.

Therefore, he concluded that there should be a treasure similar to vaginal salivary crystal jade in the ant nest.

Seeing such a treasure, there is no reason to let it go easily.

So, Wang Geng started to think about how to deal with this iron fire ant colony.

After a long time, Wang Geng racked his brains and didn't know how to deal with them.

In the original work, even Old Demon Han was able to manage dozens of iron fire ants in the Xutian Palace with the help of a swarm of gold-eating insects that had evolved to semi-maturity in the late stage of pill formation.

Wang Geng is only at the initial stage of foundation building, and his most powerful means are the Jinghong and Phantom twin needles. If he is to kill an iron fire ant soldier ant, he is still 70% to 80% sure, but this iron fire ant There are at least a dozen soldier ants in the swarm, not to mention the queen ant.

With his own strength, he would never be able to enter the ant nest and obtain the treasured weapon-refining material.

After being at a loss for several days, Wang Geng still couldn't find any solution.

Just when he was about to leave, a miracle happened.

During the day, Wang Geng again observed fire ant worker ants collecting moss on the rocks on the east coast of Huoshuo Island.

At a certain moment, a soldier ant suddenly lost its footing and fell into the sea water. After struggling for a long time, it was still unable to break free from the bonds of the sea water and climbed back to the shore.

It wasn't until a friend next to him accidentally saw it falling into the water that he gathered a dozen worker ants to build an ant ladder and dragged the worker ants from the water to the shore.

While Wang Geng was praising the intelligence of these strange insects, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind, and a wonderful idea came to him.

"Iron fire ants are afraid of water, so is it possible..."

Thinking of this, Wang Geng immediately went ashore and used his earth escape technique to explore underground caves and water veins under Huoshao Island.

Ten days later, Wang Geng found an underground cave with water and closest to the ant nest, then escaped into the soil and started digging.

A few days later, Wang Geng dug the hole, leaving only a few feet of thick soil at both ends of the hole and the ant nest.

Below, one evening at ten high tide, Wang Geng waited for an opportunity to ambush on the eastern coast.

Not much time left, and dozens of fire ants who were out looking for food came to collect moss.

While riding on these dozens of iron fire ants to collect food, Wang Geng suddenly raised the two flying needles Jinghong and Phantom in his hand. The two flying needles circled in mid-air and attacked two of the worker ants like lightning. And go.

Although the body of the iron fire ant was invulnerable, it was still obviously unable to withstand the top-level magic weapon. After two muffled sounds of "pop" and "pop", two iron fire ants were penetrated by the hole and exploded. There were two piles of broken shells and red liquid.

Next, Wang Geng easily killed seven or eight iron fire ants, and then let the remaining ones escape back to the ant nest.

Wang Geng, on the other hand, set up a Yin-Yang Infinite Formation on the spot and used more than twenty mid-level spiritual stones to activate the formation's peripheral restrictions. However, for some purpose, he did not activate the formation's psychedelic and forbidden spiritual sense detection. Supernatural powers.

Not long after, two soldier ants crawled over quickly. After seeing Wang Geng's figure in the formation, the two pairs of tentacles swung and rushed towards Wang Geng. At the same time, they opened their mouths and sprayed out water on the way. There were two black flames.
