Chapter 1086 Gretel: Come, Let’s Resist the Crisis Together!
The torrent of army ants is mighty and rolls straight forward.
This thing alone is not eye-catching, even though it is 10 times larger than a normal ant, it is only as long as the first section of the little finger. However, as these millions of people rolled in, many ferocious beasts in the forest had to be avoided:
Passing by the tiger's nest, the tiger went out to patrol its territory and waited for them to pass by;
Passing by the snake den, the python moved to make way for them;
Passing by an indigenous village, the entire village was completely evacuated, waiting for you to move back when the march was over.
Except for natural enemies like the giant anteater, which would follow them to have a banquet, no wild beast would take the initiative to provoke them.
Gretel didn't want to do anything. A group of people stood nearby, waiting for the ants to pass by——
Except for Sisuoyin, this experienced middle-aged elf, he had long since retracted himself into the mud and covered himself tightly, without even a scratch on his head. As for breathing?
A green vine poked out of the soil three feet away from the ant tunnel, swaying in the wind...
Even Cerela didn't want to mess with this piece of shit. She hid behind Gretel, stood on tiptoes, and pressed her hands on his shoulders. The tip of the silver dragon girl's ears moved and she muttered:
"You are not allowed to touch it...it's so dirty...when I look at this, I feel itchy all over, as if there are ants crawling in the scales..."
That's an ant!
Big ant!
When it crawls on the body, it cannot be wiped clean even if it is patted or shaken. It keeps crawling into the gaps between the scales! To get rid of it, you have to roll in the ice water in the far north, or else you have to roll in the magma!
Otherwise it will bite your flesh! It's so itchy!
"Don't go, don't go, look at me standing still." With Cerela holding her down like this, Grete could only pat her back and comfort her in a low voice. While taking pictures, I also stared closely at the torrent of marching ants:
Looking at it directly with the eyes, it is just a group of big black ants, connected head to tail, moving forward in an indomitable manner. However, using [Detection Magic], different lights and shadows appeared in the meditation field of vision:
There are stars and shadows. It's not bright, just like a level 1 magic item. At first glance, it looks like the little red star on the head of a match that's about to go out.
However, there was a strange sense of distortion rising over the ant colony, vaguely bordering them. Such a large team, crawling forward in a rustling way, actually gave him the feeling of crawling out from the depths of the netherworld.
"You also see something is wrong, right?"
Beside him, Ai Xi Yue Ge squatted on the ground and asked in a low voice. Gretel shook his head blankly:
"I just feel something is wrong...it looks very depressing...but I have never seen this kind of ant. I don't know if it is like this under normal circumstances..."
"This is not the normal situation." Ai Xi Yue Ge's face was solemn:
"Its aura is contaminated at first glance. Really...are there such shortages in the polluted area that they even have to go out to hunt?"
Grete looked left, right, up and down, but couldn't tell that the army ants were "contaminated at first glance". He could only blame it on his lack of knowledge. However, Ai Xi Yue Ge had already stood up, raising her head and looking towards the direction of the ant colony:
"So many army ants pollute the forest too much. Wherever they go and die, they pollute... We have to find a way to stop them..."
She suddenly turned to Grete:
"Do you still have meat in your hand? You don't want high-level monsters. You definitely don't want high-level monsters. Just ordinary beasts that are big enough!"
"Ah... yes! Yes!"
Gretel quickly started looking through space equipment. Before he could dig out the things, Cerela had already raised her hand, and a dead pig appeared out of thin air, and she threw it on the floating saucer:
"Is that enough?"
"Enough is enough!"
Ashe Yuege nodded quickly. Another vine came out from her fingertips, split into two, then into four, and then into eight, and then it was submerged into the body of the dead pig. Then, the part in her hand began to draw strips and grow leaves:
"The fruit produced by this plant is poisonous and extremely poisonous." While promoting the fruit, the Elf Forester turned around and explained to Gretel:
"It's very convenient to seep the juice into the pork and use it to poison the insects. Watch-"
He grabbed the pig's leg without making any gestures, and the dead pig, which weighed several hundred kilograms, drew an arc and fell far ahead. With a bang, the ant colony exploded instantly and was smashed to both sides. Grete subconsciously stirred:
Wouldn't the ant colony judge that this was an enemy attack?
You won't cause trouble for them, right?
He wasn't necessarily afraid of such a large group of ants approaching, but it was very annoying... Do you want to brush up on some defensive magic first?
However, the army ants did not come over. The big black ants swarmed up, densely packed, and instantly covered the corpse of the dead pig.
Each ant opened its hard jaws, cut off a small piece of the dead pig carcass, raised its upper body and held it high, then immediately gave up its seat and went to the side to enjoy. Soon, the black torrent formed a huge black vortex surrounding the delicious food falling from the sky.
Grete's face became more and more solemn. After the ants gathered into a whirlpool, the anomalies in the meditation field of view became clearer:
Threads rose upward, carrying a gloomy, depressing black energy. At a glance, it seems that the heat on the steamer is rippling slightly, distorting the entire field of vision:
Gretel has also seen such a scene when observing powerful existences with magic vision, especially when observing legendary spells. However, that is because the opponent's power is too strong, which naturally distorts the surrounding magic field.
And these ants in front of me are only level 1 monsters. The small bosses in the ant colony are only level 2, and the big bosses in each ant colony are only level 3 or 4...
Even if there are millions or tens of millions of animals gathered together, how can such a strange phenomenon occur?
"Did you see it? This is pollution." Ashe Yuege glanced at him, and seeing his face, she knew that he was also aware of it:
"The beast that ran out of it will not disappear even if it dies or collapses. If it is light, nature must tolerate it and all the plants decompose it together. Only in many, many springs, summers, autumns and winters will the pollution become so small that it is almost invisible." No, if there are more..."
If there is too much, it will contaminate land after land and continue to spread. Grete answered silently in her heart. He watched as Sisoian emerged from the earth and joined Ashe Moonsinger in cutting down trees and erecting a barrier around them;
He watched the swirl of army ants condense on the dead pig and linger for a long time;
Watching large swaths of army ants turn over and fall to the ground, turning into corpses. In the end, only a few hundred were left, spinning blankly around the dead pig skeleton;
Watching Ash Moonsong light a fire...
"I'm here! I'm here to help!"
Grete quickly controlled the river water, weaving layers of water nets around it, collecting as much smoke and dust as possible. If these polluted smoke and dust are flying all over the forest, it would be better to let the army ants continue to crawl!
At the very least, the pollution is limited to a small area and will not expand dramatically!
In the meditation field of vision, the fine dust that still has a strange sense of distortion falls into the water one by one. As the water flow centrifuged and rotated at high speed, it finally gathered into a three-foot-square mass, suspended in front of Grete.
"Serila, help me control it!"
cried Gretel. The silver dragon girl's face was twisted and tangled, and she moved forward in small steps. Ms. Jasmine quickly followed over:
"I'll do it, I'll do it! - Just control it and don't let it spread apart? Just leave it to me!"
Grete nodded slightly. On the ground, a clump of grass blades rose out of thin air, forming a fence around the floating dish, blocking the fine dust. Taking this opportunity, Gretel withdrew his mental power and began to rummage through the space bag:
Lead skin!
Lead skin!
Wrap it in a layer of lead and put it in a stainless steel box; wrap it in another layer of lead and put it in a stainless steel box!
Finally, let Ashe Yuege find an extremely hard rock, use [Fossil to Mud] to dig a hole, sink the stainless steel box in, and then use [Turn Mud to Stone] to seal it!
"Huh... it's done." Grete let out a long breath. After the first layer of lead is wrapped, this distorted and gloomy feeling finally disappears in the vision of meditation;
After the second layer of lead was wrapped, the vague feeling of stuffiness that was weighing on my heart suddenly became much more relaxed.
In other words, the double-layered lead coffin was sealed, the double-layered stainless steel box provided strong support, and then sealed to the center of the huge rock. No matter how bad luck is, there won't be any problems for at least three to five hundred years, right?
As for what will happen in three to five hundred years... Just kidding, who has such a long shelf life?
Oh... there are still people who need extremely long shelf life. Gretel turned his eyes and saw Ashe Yuege staring at a few ants specially left in his hand, frowning:
"The pollution in the Elf Secret Realm is getting worse... In the future, more and more things will come out..."
"Kill them when they run out!" Bernard encouraged her in a loud voice beside her. Ashe Yuege smiled bitterly:
"It's not that easy... The beasts that come out of it are all stronger than the same kind outside. On average, they are one to two levels stronger... The price is that the contaminated area is getting more and more barren, and from time to time, beasts run out. …”
He kept killing and couldn't kill them all. No matter how many green trees we plant, no matter how hard we work to purify, we can't stop the polluted area from expanding day by day.
"Sister Yue Ge, don't think about this." Gretel slowly stepped forward, glanced at the few surviving ants in her hand, and comforted her softly:
"Let's go see Ms. Jasmine's father first. In addition to her father, there should be some soldiers who are suffering from injuries and illnesses caused by pollution. We can help as much as we can, and as much as we can."
"If we can cure a few of them, or at least alleviate their pain, we will have more people to fight against the pollution, right?"
"Are you... sure?"
Ai Xi Yue Ge raised her head and looked at him with half expectancy and half disbelief. Gretel shook his head:
"I just have some ideas for the time being. However, even if you treat a headache, treat the head, or treat a sore foot, if you have one more healer, the situation will be better, right?"
