Chapter 109 Ant Queen
After sending off Captain Zina, Duke didn't think too much.
How the pioneering war is carried out has nothing to do with him. All he can do is pray that the Broken Sword Mercenary Group will not be wiped out.
He also thought about becoming Broken Sword's sponsor after he was promoted to the 1st Ring Arcane Mage.
"At the end of August, I should be able to get promoted steadily!" Back in the breeding room, after teasing Xiaodou for a while, Duke threw himself into the solidified spirit core again.
The ring in the spiritual sea, in the chaotic light, you can vaguely see the arcane trajectory of the spiritual power.
Only when the spiritual power and the arcane path are completely integrated, and no longer differentiated from each other, can it mean that the ring is completely composed of stable spiritual energy, which cannot be divided, reversed, or broken, and thus solidified into a spiritual core.
"effort!"
Nothing can attract Duke's attention more than stepping forward bit by bit towards the arcanist. He has truly devoted himself wholeheartedly.
Of course, you have to find time to do the work you should do.
Casting spells on the 50 acres of corn on the farm is done every day; maintenance of the six-legged puppet jar is also done once a week.
On this day, he took the maintenance materials and went down to the basement.
There are two basements, light and dark. The light basement has already piled up a lot of debris, which happens to block the entrance of the dark basement.
And the dark basement, which he transformed into a "parking garage" for jars.
The escape route to the outside world is the entrance and exit of the garage where the jar goes out. Occasionally, when night falls, he will sit on the jar and go for a walk in the wild to enjoy the joy of driving a puppet.
The only pity is that the jar is not a driving puppet.
is more like a multifunctional robot.
Sitting on the disc-shaped body of the tank, there is no comfortable ride, especially at higher speeds, and it is easy to fall off it.
The puppet core ring is set on the middle finger.
Introduction of spiritual power, you can control the jar with your mind.
"Stretch the legs." Duke commanded the jar to stretch out a mechanical foot, and then applied special maintenance oil to every joint position.
Spiritual gold is indeed miraculous, but when exposed to the air, it will also react with free spiritual particles from the outside world, resulting in rust marks. Regular maintenance is required to cut off this corrosion path and ensure the flexibility of each joint.
It has been half an hour since one set was maintained.
Duke asked Xiaoyi about the current time and found that it was already very late, so he put out the idea of driving a jar to go out for a stroll.
With a wave of his hand.
The jar curled up in a corner, and Duke covered it with the tarpaulin again.
A ring of sand eagles hung on the wall, and the light from the tactical lights illuminated the dark basement. He took the sand eagles and walked out of the basement.
I don't want to sleep for a while.
climbed up to the attic on the third floor, and counted the stars to cool off.
"There are countless stars in the sky, much brighter than the stars on the earth, but no similar constellation can be found."
There is no Orion, no Ursa Major, no Big Dipper, and no Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
There is the sun and there is the moon.
The Seven Towers Federation's understanding of the universe has not been spread among ordinary people, but the high-level people definitely have a lot of information about the starry sky.
Because the Stars Tower, one of the seven towers, is a tower that exists for astrology.
This Tower of Stars only stands in the capital, the Holy City of Arcana. It is said that every few decades, the Arcane Masters of the Tower of Stars can use the prophecies brought by astrology to enlighten the future and lead the future.
"So, where is this world?" Duke looked at the top of his head, but he didn't see a Milky Way across the sky. "I can't see the Milky Way. Does it mean that the world I'm traveling through now no longer belongs to the Milky Way?"
No answer.
Maybe this is just a parallel world, not the same universe as the earth.
Cuihai Valley.
The pioneering war is in full swing.
Boom!
The ground shook wave after wave, and clods of soil kept falling in the dark passage of the crypt.
"Oh, my head was smashed!" A voice like a doll sounded, "Red Branch, let's run away quickly, if we don't run away, we won't be able to escape."
"..."
"Can't you see that human beings are here to catch you, to dry you into dried meat, no, it is to make specimens of you, and the result will be the same as that stupid big scorpion in the future."
"..."
"You ants are just too stupid. Let me tell you, you shouldn't have found a new nest for the little fat man. No, it was caught by humans. Well, I guess it will have been skinned and started making specimens... Red branch, this is your end!"
"..."
"Let's go, come with me, let's escape together!"
Crash, at the other end of the passageway with flashing green light, there seemed to be a heavy body rubbing against the wall, and soon under the green light, a ferocious ant head appeared.
Well-developed palate, reflective carapace, and two trembling antennae.
This huge ant can't speak, but just waving its antennae vigorously, as if expressing something.
The voice of the little doll sounded from the side, and the tone was particularly pleasant: "Wow, Hong Zhizhi, have you finally figured it out, you want to run away with me!"
"..."
"Okay, okay, let's run away quickly, by the way, where are we going to go, to the spiritual spring... don't we go, but the other directions are blocked by humans, those airships are so annoying, they can turn the whole underground into hard lumps!"
"..."
"Ah, escape to the human land, and then go around to the forest from other places, wow, Hong Zhizhi, you are so smart!"
"..."
"Let's go, let's go!"
The little baby smiled and urged, and suddenly said loudly: "Hong Zhizhi, you take my Ji Yulu with you!"
The tentacles touched the huge ant's head, and then the ant stretched out a pair of mandibles, aimed at the opponent emitting green light, opened its mouth to inhale, and the green and glowing thing was attracted into its stomach by it.
The crypt passage became pitch black, and the voice of the little doll shouted: "Let's go!"
Wow!
In the darkness, there was the sound of the body rubbing against the wall. The sound moved from near to far, and soon disappeared, leaving only the sound of booming above the head one after another.
I don't know how long it has passed, and accompanied by a violent explosion, a light suddenly shines in from the dark crypt passage.
That is the light shining in from the sky.
The crypt passage has collapsed.
Patter!
A mercenary jumped in, looked at the passage that could barely walk upright, and shouted loudly: "I found the royal family of the ant queen!"
Soon, more mercenaries jumped down and drilled into the passage together.
But a few minutes later, a mercenary crawled out yelling: "The ant queen has escaped, the motherfucker, the biggest fish has escaped, and the master arcanists are about to jump again!"
"Chase!" The mercenary leader outside immediately ordered, "This five-ring ant queen is the largest in size, and the places where it crawled have the most obvious traces. You must chase it! Brothers, as long as you complete this task first, you will have nothing to worry about for a lifetime!"
"Dry!"
"Catch up, it's only 5 rings, I'm afraid of an egg!"
"Yeah, just catch up and send a signal. If the masters of the arcane masters make a move, we can just wait to get rich!"
The mercenaries entered the crypt passage one after another, and then carried the spiritual wind lamp, carefully studied the scratches on the wall, and quickly tracked towards the passage.
