Chapter 240 The Ant Queen Appears!
Sure enough, gold-eating ants sprang out from behind the grass.
One after another, thirty of them rushed out in one breath. Not only that, there was a buzzing sound in the air, and it turned out that a gold-eating ant that was one size larger than ordinary gold-eating ants flew out.
Spiegel put away Natsu's Poké Ball and asked Zhu Xiaorong to retreat quietly with Elizabeth and himself.
No wonder Natsu was injured like this. It seems that after the round of killing monsters just now, the gold-eating ants finally found out that something was wrong.
Spiegel wasn't going to fight them hard, not to mention the number, which was far beyond his expectation, but the flying ants were hard to deal with at first sight.
In a real fight, the gold-eating ants that can only fly can easily fly up and hurt themselves.
Elizabeth climbed onto Zhu Xiaorong's back, kicked her feet, flapped her wings fiercely, flew up from the tree branch, and disappeared into the shade of the giant tree in an instant.
The gold-eating ants raised their heads one after another when they heard the movement, but they could only see Zhu Xiaorong's back.
And the gold-eating ant with only wings also fluttered its wings and flew high, trying to chase Zhu Xiaorong.
But when it chased into the shade of the trees, there was no trace of Zhu Xiaorong in sight, so it could only turn around and go back.
Did Spiegel really run away?
No, he actually made a circle and asked Zhu Xiaorong to go towards the ant nest.
Because according to his estimation, the ant nest should be very empty at this time, which is a good time for a surprise attack.
Soon they came to the ant nest and stopped on the branch of a giant tree nearby. Sure enough, there were gold-eating ants coming in and out of the hole above, but now only one can be seen, it should be Watching.
Spiegel turned on the system.
"System, treat Natsu."
Spiegel spent 100 system points, and Natsu's body was back to normal, but he didn't plan to let Natsu out for the time being, but chose rhubarb because it has the [Earthquake] skill.
Spiegel asked it to come out to make it an earthquake, collapse the ant nest, and force all the gold-eating ants out.
Rhubarb first activated [Wind Swiftness], which was similar to [Superior Speed], but the speed was not as fast as [Superior Speed].
In a flash, it rushed directly under the mound of soil, and of course the gold-eating ant on the mound found it, and made a threatening gesture at the large pincers in front of Rhubarb's mouth.
The gold-eating ants have never seen such a monster as rhubarb. Although it is small, rhubarb's height of just two meters is indeed small for a gold-eating ant of nearly three meters.
But without an order from the queen, ordinary gold-eating ants will observe for a while before launching an attack.
Right now, Spiegel did the calculations mentally and unintentionally, and while the gold-eating ants were hesitating, he immediately asked Rhubarb to launch the [Earthquake].
This trick was used when dealing with orcs, and the ground within a radius of 20 meters will produce violent vibrations.
At this time, the rhubarb was many times stronger than before, and it also rose to level 50 by eating black-rank rune stones. The earthquake it released affected the ground within a radius of nearly [-] meters, causing the ground to fluctuate like the surface of the sea.
Spiegel didn't expect its move to have such a wide impact, and the giant tree he was in was also within the range of the earthquake.
When the shock came, Elizabeth lost her balance and fell off the branch with Spiegel.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiaorong was right next to her, and quickly grabbed her and Spiegel in his hands, so that they didn't fall directly to death.
You must know that it is 50 meters above the ground, which is equivalent to the height of more than a dozen floors. Even if the ground below is mud instead of cement, the chances of falling directly to death will be quite high.
Elizabeth screamed inevitably, and even Spiegel broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the roar on the ground covered up Elizabeth's screams. The gold-eating ant was so overwhelmed by the earthquake that it didn't pay attention to the screams at all.
The earthquake lasted for more than a minute, with Rhubarb as the center, the ground with a radius of nearly [-] meters completely lost its original appearance.
There are cracks everywhere, and the most important thing is that the huge mound in front of Rhubarb collapsed, not only that, but also sank into a shallow pit.
This can be regarded as completely driving the gold-eating ants in the ant nest crazy, and drilled ant heads one by one from the shallow pit.
Spiegel immediately took out the poke ball and took Rhubarb back. This guy has done a great job, and the rest will be handed over to Zhu Xiaorong and Naz.
However, he did not act rashly for the time being, but waited for all the gold-eating ants to come out first.
One, two, three... a total of fifteen gold-eating ants came out.
The last huge ant's head protruded from the ground, which was five times the size of ordinary gold-eating ants. Not only that, the body connected to the waist of the huge gold-eating ant was completely different from ordinary gold-eating ants.
It was a white, huge, bloated sac, three or four times the size of the waist, and looked extremely uncoordinated, because it was impossible to walk with such a proportion.
So after the giant ant got out of the ground, it lay still on its stomach, while the other gold-eating ants surrounded it, tensely on guard.
Spiegel knew in his heart that this must be the queen ant.
Although the ant queen looks huge, she should not have much fighting power in reality. The bloated body probably can't even move at a normal speed. It is purely a reproductive machine.
But queens can manipulate other gold-eating ants, and Spiegel knew that was a commonality among all ants.
Capture the thief first and capture the king, this is a universal panacea tactic.
It's just that the queen is surrounded by gold-eating ants, and it's not easy to attack the queen directly.
Spiegel thought of two ways, one was to attack from the air, and the other was to attack from the ground.
But after thinking about it again, neither of these methods is suitable.
Now the gold-eating ants are all soldiers, and their alertness is extremely high. If something appears from the sky, it will definitely be served by overwhelming saliva and acid.
The same goes for the underground, not to mention that Spiegel doesn't have any Pokémon that can sneak underground. Even if there is, sneaking underground will always produce vibrations.
No matter how subtle the vibration is, these gold-eating ants themselves are monsters living in the ground, so they must be able to detect the vibration, and it will be difficult to successfully attack by then.
But he didn't have time to think about it. The gold-eating ants and flying ants that went out just now will definitely return on the spot after they can't find themselves.
After a long time, when they come back, I don't have to do anything.
"Xiao Rong, you come back first."
Spiegel quickly drew up a battle plan, a little risky, but worth the effort for the payoff.
Take Zhu Xiaorong back, and Elizabeth and Spiegel will have no guarantee on the branches of this giant tree. If they fall or are attacked by other monsters, they will definitely die.
But there is no tiger cub if you don't go into the tiger's den, and you don't want the child to be trapped by the wolf, so Spiegel has to hurry up.
A white light flashed under the tree, and Naz and Ning Caichen were released.
