Chapter 564: Traces of Termites
The ethereal sound of the harp echoed over the settlement along with melancholy tunes.
The wizards and apprentices who were controlled in the distance gradually regained consciousness.
Recalling their previous encounters, coupled with the broken limbs and arms around them and the barrier above their heads, these people panicked and fled in all directions.
The little ants on the ground did not attack the wizards. In their minds, these wizards and apprentices were the food of the ant king.
But now, they can no longer feel the breath of the ant king, and they no longer attack ordinary people. They just wander around mindlessly, and finally burrow back into the ground.
It's just that at this time, there are not many wizards or ordinary people left.
Late at night, after a brief boil, the settlement fell into silence again, with only the sound of the harp ringing all night long.
Early the next morning, after multiple wizards worked together, the witchcraft barrier that surrounded everyone was finally lifted.
Sol covered his head and face, blended in with the crowd, and ran out together.
Finally leaving the settlement that had become a dead place, Thor left the crowd halfway and entered the ancient forest of survivors.
Seeing no one around, Penny finally ran out, "Brother Sol, if you run away after beating someone, are you afraid that he will come out to hunt you down?"
Sol glanced at the man who had been chased by Kismet. Little Butterfly said, "I've wanted to beat him up for a long time."
Until now, Thor still couldn't figure out Kismet's real purpose.
Agu, who has seen more, can understand the reason why Sol took action.
Agu: [This person said at the time that the quicksand termite scam had nothing to do with him. I’m afraid that’s not the truth. ]
Saul sneered, "Not only is it not true, he was the one who instigated this matter."
Using the lives of countless people to cultivate a demon pet, Kismet had done this once in Ralph Manor.
Later, in order to hunt down the Nightmare Butterfly, he also led ordinary people and wizards into Mofan Town, which had been cursed by the sea of blood.
In short, this person is a person who uses any means or sacrifices to achieve his goals.
The scariest thing is that no one knows what his purpose is?
"Now I even suspect that the method that Monte found to make a spiritual candle and the method of cultivating the ant king in the belly of wizard Dory were all suggested by Kismet." Thor did not mean to sympathize with these two people.
Moton also spoke at this time.
Morton: [The great wizard and the witch are obviously official wizards, but they still learn the methods of barbarians. It’s so useless that my brain has degenerated! ]
Herman: [Senior, what does this mean? Why did you learn to be a barbarian? ]
Morton: [The power of wizards comes from themselves and from knowledge, but they try to use the advanced power of other magical creatures to help themselves advance. If you do this, sooner or later you will be counterattacked. ]
Agu sighed.
[Probably because I haven’t been able to get promoted for a long time, I have to use this method. ]
When mentioning the difficulty of promotion, both Morton and Herman were silent.
Which wizard has not been stuck to death at some stage?
In the end, I even doubted myself, doubted life, and doubted the world!
Only Thor was unable to empathize.
At this time, he had arrived at the place in the forest where Monte was raising Termite termites.
The few wizards who were originally guarding here must have discovered something strange in the settlement, and had already left the cave at this time.
And the seven ordinary people inside, called the Meat Nest, have all lost their breath.
Apparently the termites here also attacked them.
What Saul found in the basement of Benditing was not just bottles and jars containing the essence of Yueling Candle. He also found some well-hidden scrolls.
After beating Kismet, he jumped down from the basement and left, putting the things he had no time to take away into the storage.
In addition to these witchcraft scrolls, which looked very valuable and rare at first glance, Thor also found something else.
It was something like this that made him not leave immediately after leaving the settlement, but instead plunged into the ancient forest of survivors.
This thing is a small sealed termite.
But it's not a humpback termite, it's a quicksand termite.
And Thor, who had taken care of the quicksand termite queen in the Wizard Tower, recognized this little termite at a glance as a candidate queen.
In other words, if the queen ant in an ant colony dies, she can become a new queen at any time and continue the growth of the colony.
But if the queen ant still exists, or is not very far away from it, then it will always remain the candidate queen.
They are smaller than ordinary termites, and can enter a state of suspended animation at any time to ensure that they consume less when nutrients are insufficient, allowing the queen to get more food.
After seeing this termite, Sol immediately realized that there must be a colony of quicksand termites with a queen near the colony.
After Thor entered the depths of the woods, he untied the witchcraft that blocked the termites, then leaned over and gently shook the termites onto the ground.
At first, the termite just wandered around a few times like a headless fly. Then it seemed to have discovered something and began to gradually move closer in one direction.
"Xiao Zao, follow me."
Xiao Zao fell to the ground and disappeared instantly.
As an earth-attributed demonic creature, it is really not difficult for it to track a small termite in the land.
Just as Thor was about to follow him, he suddenly felt a powerful wave of magic power behind him.
No, it’s a magic riot!
He turned around suddenly and saw a tornado emitting the same magic wave forming in the direction of the settlement!
Sol was surprised at first, and then quickly calmed down.
"Sure enough, he is doing things here just to generate book pages!" Saul looked at the diary in his mental body, but he was not excited about the possibility of adding another page.
He could sense that Kismet wasn't collecting the pages of the diary just for him.
...
The tornado composed of chaotic magic power did not last long.
Kismet, who was standing on the ruins of the Bindi Garden, stretched out his hand, and a white page gradually condensed at his fingertips.
Kismet was slightly disappointed.
"Sure enough, it is still too difficult to condense a golden page. If the humpback termite can advance to the third level, it may be possible." The
white page in Kismet's hand also disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he did not Not surprised.
The owner of the diary is nearby, and the newly generated pages will naturally find their owner.
Instead of this...
Kismet rested his chin on the top of the harp.
The wound on his face had disappeared by this time, but the blood on the strings was still there.
"If you want to condense the golden pages, a small settlement is not enough. You still need to do something big. I don't know when the wind demon will start moving?"
Far away from the ancient forest of survivors, there is a sudden rise. of cliffs.
There are several caves dug into the cliff, which are densely packed and uncomfortable.
The cave at the highest point here houses one of the three third-order people from Borderlands.
Wind demon.
In the tallest caves, narrow passages lead to extremely spacious caverns. The caves are layered upon each other, like a complex maze.
In a corner of the maze, in a cave decorated as gorgeously as a palace, sat a beautiful woman.
The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, making her charming face a bit more sharp.
Even though she was just sitting lazily on the chair, she still made the maid beside her restless.
The woman seemed to be thinking about something and had not changed her posture for three days.
At this time, someone finally came in to break the calm.
A guard dressed as a warrior walked in and knelt down on one knee, "Master Feng Yao, Wizard Monte's termite plan failed."
