Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 59 Unexpected Guidance

The small ones are about the size of a thumb, the medium ones are already the size of a fist, and the large ones haven't been seen yet. However, I have an instinctive feeling that there must be even larger desert army ants. These are all carnivorous. When they pounce on a person and take a bite, there is no doubt about their lethality. They can tear off a piece of flesh in one bite. The speed and efficiency of their eating are quite outrageous.

As soon as these desert army ants landed in the camp, many people immediately let out shrill screams. Being landed on by the army ants was incredibly miserable. They screamed and rolled on the ground, only to be swarmed by more army ants. Amidst their howls, they were easily devoured into a pile of bones, leaving not even a trace of blood.

That scene was truly one where people disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I wonder how many people would feel their scalp tingle after seeing this.

I've seen death before, but to die so cleanly is absolutely a test of one's psychological limits, with absolutely no chance of survival.

"These are all Iron-level life forms. Even a formal cultivator who has awakened a life force field cannot withstand them. If bitten by them, they will inject a special neurotoxin that will paralyze the person, making it difficult to escape."

"Run, run quickly!"

Liang Hongguang's face turned pale upon witnessing this.

This is no joke. He dares to fight a pack of wolves, but who dares to go after such a swarm of desert army ants? If you don't have the ability, you're just throwing your life away. If you get caught up in it, you'll be left with nothing but bones.

"Say, pour out the gasoline, light it, and make a fire barrier to keep these ants out."

"There are Molotov cocktails, throw them over there."

Cai Honglong's side also reacted quickly.

During this time, they also made some things, including Molotov cocktails. This type of weapon is simple to make and has enough destructive power. As for gasoline, vehicles are constantly losing passengers and becoming unusable, and it's not difficult to get gasoline out of the fuel tank. The Molotov cocktails they made came in handy now.

Molotov cocktails were thrown at the ant colony. Instantly, the gasoline splattered and turned into flames. At the same time, the gasoline poured on also turned into a huge wall of fire in the next second. The army ants that fell into the flames immediately began to burn and let out a shrill scream.

Similarly, the attack slowed down abruptly due to the intense heat of the flames.

They seemed to be a little afraid, but they did not retreat.

boom! !

Just then, on the nearby hills, yellow sand suddenly churned, and large black desert army ants, each the size of a wolfhound, emerged. Each one exuded a terrifying aura. Then, a giant desert army ant queen, three meters long and with a pair of wings on her back, appeared, emanating an aura that was utterly deadly.

The desert army ants around them turned red the moment the queen appeared. Their attack, which had stopped due to fear of the flames, resumed immediately. A large number of army ants fearlessly charged into the flames, breaking through the firebreak. Even with their bodies covered in flames, they still fiercely pounced on the survivors in the camp, displaying an attitude of killing and eating.

That fierce aura was completely revealed.

"Go, go, go."

"That queen ant is terrifying; we can't afford to mess with her."

Upon seeing these, Ji Tianhao couldn't help but feel a deep, indescribable fear. He had never seen, let alone heard of, such enormous desert army ants. They were monsters, definitely evolved beings. It was hard to say exactly what level of Black Iron they had reached, but they were certainly above the previous Desert Wolf King.

One such opponent is not necessarily a problem, but facing an army of desert army ants is something that anyone with a brain would definitely run away first. At least before having the strength to suppress the situation, a head-on confrontation would be asking for trouble.

The camp descended into complete chaos.

They had already unloaded all the supplies and were preparing to eat and rest when a large number of desert army ants suddenly appeared. This completely disrupted all plans. The supplies they had taken out could not be sorted out. They could only make sure that the people could get on the vehicle as quickly as possible. They could not worry about the supplies anymore.

A group of people hurriedly rushed out of the ruins.

"Oh no, there are desert army ants in this direction as well."

"There are some on the left and some on the right."

"It's over. The desert army ants have completely surrounded us. We have to open a passage, or we'll all die here."

Once they rushed out of the temple ruins, they discovered that the number of desert army ants was far greater than they had imagined. They were not only in the direction they had just retreated, but also in all directions, in front, behind, left, and right, completely surrounding them.

It must be said that desert army ants truly deserve the name of an army. In their actions, they are as disciplined as an army, and even employ tactics in a very natural way. At least, in terms of encirclement and suppression, they do it exceptionally naturally.

Without a sound, they made dumplings for them.

"Use fire, use Molotov cocktails, force a way out and break through."

Cai Honglong has already made arrangements quickly.

Molotov cocktails filled with gasoline were thrown at the ant colony ahead. Driven by instinctive fear, large numbers of army ants retreated. Then, vehicles drove directly into the briefly opened passage, crushing the ant colony that had not yet fully dispersed.

Some army ants were run over by car tires, but they were not killed. Instead, they became stuck in the yellow sand, and with their tenacious vitality, they could turn around and climb out.

Some even rushed into the vehicles and attacked the people inside, creating chaos.

Fortunately, no one in the camp was a weakling who couldn't even kill a chicken. The truly weak would already be dead. Those who survived were at least mentally prepared and willing to fight to the death. The weapons they had obtained from the mummy were equally effective against the army ants before them, capable of inflicting real damage and destruction. They weren't defenseless against the army ants. Their fear stemmed entirely from their sheer numbers. There were hundreds of thousands, millions, even tens of millions.

How do we fight this?

They'll all pounce on you; even if you had eight arms, it wouldn't be enough.

On Ji Tianhao's side, he had already brought all the members of his small team onto Baxia's back, even Liu San was brought up.

boom!boom!boom! !

Baxia Dragon Lord swung its limbs, its body rapidly traversing the ground. The power of the earth's veins flowed around it, and wherever it went, all the desert army ants that approached were forced to a halt by the invisible force of the earth's veins. Some were pinned down by a single claw, the immense force crushing them into a pulp, instantly pulverizing them. No army ant could manage to climb onto Baxia's back.

They quickly broke out of the encirclement with an aggressive attitude.

Other survivors were also running, fleeing.

However, many people were still swarmed by army ants and quickly dragged down, where they died from being devoured by the ants.

Even the screams of agony did not deter the others from stopping.

These are army ants, and a massive colony at that. Anyone who dares to stop is essentially choosing death.

They didn't even have the desire to fight.

run!
Keep running.

Run as far away as possible, away from the army ants.

Squeak! !

The queen ant stood on the hill and watched as the people in the camp broke out into the distance. She immediately gave the order, and the dark ant swarm chased after the people in the camp like a tide. Even the queen ant was carried by a large number of soldier ants and swarmed forward with the ant tide.

The whole scene was extremely terrifying.

It surged like a black tide.

Woohoo! !

Just then, a figure emerged from a sand dune ahead. The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a youthful and clever appearance. He was tall and slender, not thin but also very capable. He had a bone whistle in his mouth, and the sharp sound came from the whistle.

After noticing that the camp's attention had been drawn to them.

He immediately waved and shouted, "Quick, run this way! I've already sprinkled insect repellent here, which can temporarily stop the desert army ants, but it definitely won't last long. The desert army ants will become increasingly agitated when they smell the scent of flesh and blood."

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant wolf as tall as a warhorse was immediately pulled out. Unlike the desert giant wolf, this giant wolf had thick fur, but a black scale on its head that constantly reflected light.

This is a dire wolf.

What is a dire wolf? It is a special type of wolf that is used as a mount. As a dire wolf, it has the ability to launch rapid attacks and has extremely good combat power. Its long fur can provide it with strong protection.

Among mounts, it is even more outstanding than warhorses.

At this moment, he flipped himself onto the dire wolf's back, gave it a gentle pat, and the dire wolf began to gallop away into the distance, showing no intention of lingering any longer.

"Quick, follow me."

Upon witnessing this, Liang Hongguang's eyes lit up, and he immediately directed the Mud Wanderers Camp to follow the direction of the dire wolf and chase after it without hesitation.

"Don't stop, let's catch up. Tell those behind us not to fall behind, run fast, we can't afford to mess with these desert army ants now."

Cai Honglong made the same choice without hesitation.

Whoever that person is, their appearance at this time suggests they shouldn't be an enemy. In any case, we don't have many other options right now.

"Follow them, and maybe things will turn around."

Various thoughts flashed through Ji Tianhao's mind.

Without a doubt, this person's appearance indicates they come from another faction. Following them might lead to the discovery of a new human force. In any case, it won't be much worse than the current situation.

Baxia is not slow at all. When it runs, it is not afraid of the quicksand in the desert and can walk on the sand as if it were flat ground. When it runs wildly, its back will not be affected at all. This makes the riding experience full of perfection.

It was unclear what exactly the person had sprinkled. As the desert army ants approached the hill, they almost instinctively stopped, seemingly with great disgust.
