Last Totem Novel - Chapter 192

Chapter 192 Hindworm
About twenty minutes later, a scouting ant at the forefront encountered the first group of weeping flies that pounced in. At this moment, due to the large number of ants, Tie Zha did not have the energy to direct their specific actions and could only rely on their instincts to do so.

At the moment of encounter, the swarm of weeping flies surged forward. The scouting soldier ant could only crawl to the side in time to avoid the trample, but it could no longer care about concealing its body. It was about to become a delicious meal for the weeping flies. However, at this critical moment, the swarm of weeping flies whistled past, turning a blind eye to it.

Seeing this scene, Tie Zha quickly understood the reason behind it. Under the influence of the will of the Abyss Hegemon, these weeping flies had already become well-trained and unified combat units. They would not stop to eat as they pleased. Thinking of this, Tie Zha began to brazenly dispatch soldiers and ants to roam around to monitor the movements of the swarm of insects.

The Weeping Chrysopa’s movement speed was extremely fast. The iron slag’s soldiers were simply unable to catch up, so they could only rely on their companions who were originally distributed in the area to monitor it. After confirming the swarm’s movements, the iron slag shuttled back and forth in the dense forest, bypassing their path of action.

The swarm attacked the camp behind him, and he had no intention of wasting the artillery shells on the swarm. The first is that the movement speed of the swarm is too fast, so it is difficult to predict the artillery attack. Second, the real threat to the defensive line is from the spike array behind the swarm.

Moments later, the first group of stingers entered the scouting range of the Soldier Ants Legion. The iron slag quickly took out the tactical map and the satellite positioner to calculate the coordinates of the target. After a simple calculation, Tie Zha picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the coordinates to Mu Qianhe.

Ten seconds later, a low, hoarse female voice came from the walkie-talkie. “Commander, thirty-two cannons are ready!”

Tie Zha raised his head. His deep gaze pierced through the layers of trees and stared at the red spots that were slowly moving in the distance. Then, he ordered, “Let go!”

Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock.

A few seconds later, a continuous sound of air breaking came from the sky above the forest. “Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp … Chirp!” Immediately afterwards, a flash of fire appeared in front of him, and a loud sound wave swept towards him with a strong wind.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble”

When everything returned to normal, the red light in front of him disappeared. With a thought, a soldier ant closest to the bombardment rushed over at full speed. Not long after, a scene filled with green barbarians fell into Tie Zha’s mind. Smoke and gunpowder filled the air, and trees fell to one side. Some of the trunks were broken, some were turned up and their roots were tilted to one side. The black earth was filled with holes, and the stinger’s broken limbs, broken bones, and broken flesh could be seen everywhere.

Looking at the fruitful results of the battle, Tie Zha couldn’t help but grin. He actually had a strange idea of thanking the bug transformers he had encountered in the Sand Sea Laboratory.

Relying on his wide field of vision, Tie Zha circled around the swarm of weeping flies and lurked at the site of the artillery attack. He commanded the soldiers to monitor the swarm while collecting the tail bones of the thorns. This round of shelling had killed at least thirty sting insects.

Just as he was beginning to gather spoils of war, the werewolf army encountered the first wave of weeping flies. However, without the firepower support of the sting insects, the damage dealt by the swarm of weeping flies was practically zero. The three hundred or so weeping flies looked aggressive, but in reality, before they could cross the barbed wire fence, they were swept away by sixty assault rifles, twenty lightning-fire mechs, and two flamingo-type fire god cannons.

The dense bullets were like wheat harvesting, wiping out the swarm of weeping flies outside the line of defense. After the smoke, Wang Hu raised his hand and pointed. More than ten Marines rushed out of the camp and quickly pulled out their army stabs to cut off the big fangs of the weeping flies. Then, they threw them into their pockets.

At the same time, the second group of stingers entered the field of vision of the army of soldiers, followed by a large black silkworm that was slowly wriggling. This time, there were more than a hundred thorn insects, and the array was slightly scattered. Seeing this, Tie Zha immediately gave up collecting the stinger tail bones and quickly ran towards the stinger array. As he ran, he took out the coordinates locator and tactical map and began to calculate the specific coordinates.

After traveling for several minutes, he sent the exact coordinates to Mu Qianhe and ordered, “Five consecutive rounds of artillery fire in the area!”

“Yes, my Guild Leader.” Mu Qianhe replied calmly.

Ten seconds later, Huang Chengcheng’s cannonball poured out and smashed towards the coordinates. Intense explosions rang out one after another. In an instant, a storm arose in the jungle, causing the branches of trees near Tie Zha to dance wildly and leaves to fly everywhere in the sky.

“Chip …”

Right at this moment, he suddenly heard a sound of air breaking from far to near. His expression instantly changed, he bent down and kicked, quickly falling forward.

“Boom!”

Just as he touched the ground, a deafening explosion erupted from more than ten meters away! All of a sudden, the aftermath of the explosion sent him flying, and in the end, he heavily smashed into the tree trunk in front of him! He felt his throat sweeten as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Mu Qianhe!” The landing slag rolled and stood up, shouting at the walkie-talkie, “Put it right!”

“Are you … are you injured?” An anxious shout came from the walkie-talkie.

“Fortunately” Hearing Mu Qianhe’s concerned voice, his mood became much better and he said slowly.

“The pilots of the garrison are too skilled. I asked them before the war. They are only at the beginner level of operation.” Mu Qianhe explained.

“Forget it” The iron slag exhaled turbid air and said, “Next time, I’ll stay away.”

A moment later, Tie Zha arrived at the bombardment site that was filled with smoke. After several minutes of searching, he finally found the head of more than half of the Hegemon of the Abyss in a pit created by the shelling. Then, he pulled out the sharp light, cut open the head, and dug out a cyan crystal core. When he wiped away the blood and nerve lines that adhered to the surface, he discovered that there were some fine cracks on the surface of the crystal core, and he didn’t know if it would affect the absorption effect. However, now was not the time to think about this problem. He immediately put away the crystal core and continued to mobilize the soldiers to wander around.

In the next twenty minutes, the iron slag shelled a large group of thorns and a Hegemon of the Abyss in the same way as before, harvesting a second cyan crystal. Compared to the previous one, this one was more complete. This Abyss Hegemon had been stabbed to death by countless shrapnel.

After collecting the spoils of war, just as he was about to leave, an ant hundreds of meters ahead inadvertently climbed into an underground passageway. Tie Zha changed his mind and focused his attention. The underground passageway was very spacious and could accommodate three to four adults walking side by side.

The walls of the passageway looked exceptionally smooth. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a translucent gel-like substance attached to it. This aroused Tie Zha’s curiosity, and he then dispatched dozens of soldiers nearby. The soldier ant at the front continued to move forward, and the corridor slightly tilted downwards, winding and winding. The soldier ant walked in the darkness for a long time, and several forks suddenly appeared in front of him. Tie Zha randomly chose one and commanded the soldiers to climb in. In any case, there were still a lot of soldiers and ants behind them, enough to investigate every passageway.

As the ants went deeper into the corridor, many giant “scorpions” appeared. They crawled around the corridor, as if they were transporting some cocoon-like oval-shaped objects. These “scorpions” have many pairs of short translucent knuckle feet at the bottom to support the flat body and movement of the worm. There were two pairs of bug forceps in the front of their bodies, one large and one small. The large bug forceps were thick and powerful, but they were very short. They were somewhat like crab forceps. The small bug forceps were slender and flexible, had many shins, and they were somewhat like a multi-purpose robot arm. The surface of their bodies looked very soft, and their smooth surface not only did not make people feel disgusted, but also gave them a pleasant feeling. This feeling was very wonderful. Their bodies were like translucent white jade stones. They looked smooth and soft, as if they felt very good.

Iron dregs have seen this creature in college textbooks. This is the “worker” unit in the social structure of the ant colony, called the “crypt worker ant”.

With the passage of time, he commanded the soldiers to continue walking forward. Gradually, he discovered that not only did these crypt workers not possess any aggressiveness, what was even more shocking was that they actually took the initiative to make way for Tie Zha’s scouting soldiers, as if they were afraid of stepping on the little creature in front of them.

After discovering this, he commanded the soldiers to move forward at full speed. At this moment, under the gaze of the group of enemies, this soldier ant charged in like an uncle, climbing a long distance in the blink of an eye. After that, the ants continued forward for about fifteen minutes. The path ahead suddenly opened up. The corridor became more and more spacious, and they could even pass through a large truck with eight wheels behind them.

Then, the soldier ant crawled forward for a while and unknowingly entered a huge space. Most of this space was immeasurable, because in the darkness, soldiers relied on a pair of antennae above their heads. They could tell the exact location and distance of the material by the smell of the material.

Not long after, the soldiers crawling in the boundless darkness suddenly sensed an abnormal flow of space. In an instant, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air seemed to resound from above. Immediately after, a trace of pain flashed through Tie Zha’s mind. At the same time, he lost sight of the soldier ant.

“Hindworm?” Thinking back to the details along the way and referring to the narration in the textbook, he quickly came to a conclusion that the area where the scouting ant had infiltrated was definitely the hatching pond of the Abyss Ant Queen. The reason for that was because the Abyss Hegemon didn’t have the ability to attack, and he hadn’t discovered the existence of the Crimson Hegemon, at least until now. In that case, other than the Hegemon of the Abyss, only the Queen Bee possessed intelligence among the swarm of bee ants.

Thinking of this, his mind moved, and the scouting ants began to crawl towards the passageway. However, these scouting soldiers were quickly blocked by the crypt workers in the corridor. Their attitudes towards these little creatures suddenly underwent a 180-degree change. They all raised two pairs of pliers high and fiercely clamped down on them!

In the blink of an eye, the dozen scouting ants that had sneaked into the corridor had been killed and wounded by pairs of pincers …
