Chapter 68 The Soldier Ant Warrior
What Luke was worried about didn't happen. After the ant nest at the hunter's cabin was noisy for a while, what came out was not an army of soldier ants to encircle him, but a strange transport team.

The strange thing about them is not that there are any special Fifteen Ton Ants in the team, but the cargo they transport, which is a very huge white worm.

Its body is very long, 4 to 5 times that of the thousand jun ants worker ants, like a large banana.

More than 20 worker ants took turns carrying it forward, and there was a team of more than a hundred soldier ants beside it, which seemed to be escorting or escorting it.

It's really strange, what are those Fifteen Ton Ants doing?
If I read it correctly, that big white worm should be a queen ant.

What do they transport the queen ants out for, is it branch migration?

But it shouldn't be, this ant colony just migrated to the hunter's cabin yesterday, theoretically it's not time for the branch to migrate.

After thinking for a long time, Luke didn't think of the purpose of this strange transport operation. He didn't want to guess any more, and maybe he could get some information by killing this transport team.

The forward route of the transportation team was not facing Luke's Bluesilver Grass camp, but it was still within his line of sight, and had a certain intersection with the range of his soil slope sub-camp.

He decided to personally lead the team to ambush the team there, and by the way, inspect the construction progress of the sub-camp.

Choose a colorful iron wire centipede with lighter movements as a mount, bring a team of worker ants to collect and transport ant eggs, and then manifest a small team of soldier ants as guards.

Tsk, the current Luke is also a big man with status, so traveling can't be too easy, that's really a shame.

He rushed all the way to the sub-camp unhurriedly, and the progress of increasing the source power has not been delayed on the way. From this point of view, this guard of honor is not purely showing off.

It took three or four minutes to reach the destination, and Luke disbanded his honor guard and sent them to support the construction of the sub-camp.

As usual, he found a big tree that was tall enough to climb up, not only to ensure his own safety, but also to stand on a high place and use his enhanced eyesight to look out, and he could also command the battle on the ground.

The enemy's transportation team was not slow, and they followed Luke to the area of ​​the sub-camp, and would soon enter Luke's preset battlefield.

So Luke had no time to delay, and immediately formed an ambush team composed of 300 worker ants, 200 soldier ants, and 20 colorful iron wire centipedes under the tree, and ordered them to enter their respective ambush positions immediately.

His embodied troops never had any doubts about resistance, and obediently completed the task of entering the position. As soon as he gave an order, they would bravely attack the enemy until they tore all the enemies to pieces.

The battle is about to begin.

Because he could see the enemy's advancing route, and he was fighting in his own sphere of influence, so this time Luke didn't play any tricks to lure the enemy into deep.

He made a pocket ambush line composed of more than 500 Fifteen Ton Ants and colorful centipedes, and when the enemy entered the battlefield, they swarmed up, simply and directly fighting a battle of annihilation.

Specifically, 200 soldier ants are divided into 5 teams, each direction has 20 soldier ants and 70 worker ants to form a siege team, which is responsible for attacking from four directions, east, west, north, south. storm.

The remaining 120 soldier ants led 20 colorful iron thread centipedes to form a most elite assault team, launching a storm from the side and rear of the enemy's transport team.

The goal of this elite team is to break through the enemy's defenses, and take down the transported or escorted queen ant by the way.

The battle started soon.

As Luke expected, the transportation team was thrown into disarray by the bluffing attacks from four directions, and then the formation was broken up by the elite attack from the rear, falling into the predicament of fighting on their own.

Having learned the lesson from last time, this time Luke did not let his cannon fodder worker ants stand directly in front and attack.

Instead, let the soldier ants, who are already fighters, attack head-on, and let the worker ants delay a little bit. One is to confuse the enemy, and the other is to do some auxiliary combat work such as making up the knife.

Therefore, the casualty rate of the worker ants in this ambush was not high, and less than 300 of the 50 worker ants were killed or killed, which met Luke's satisfaction.

However, the casualty rate of the soldier ants and the colorful wire centipedes was unexpectedly high. 200 soldier ants suffered casualties as high as 147, and the casualty rate of 20 colorful wire centipedes was as high as 9%, with 18 of them killed in the battle. many.

In fact, if Luke hadn't taken the risk of being targeted by a more powerful enemy and manifested an elite sniper to deliver a fatal blow, his perfect ambush would have almost been overturned by the enemy.

The reason is that there is a very powerful soldier ant warrior in this escort team composed of 100 soldier ants.

Its appearance and appearance are almost the same as those of ordinary soldier ants, that is, the two sharp cone-like teeth are sharper, and the color of the carapace is not as fiery red as other soldier ants, but darker and more towards dark gold.

Such a small difference, even if Luke had strengthened his eyesight, he would not be able to detect it in a battle involving hundreds of ants.

If it wasn't for being at a high place and being able to control the entire battlefield, he immediately discovered that the casualty rate of his storming soldier ant team had increased abnormally, and promptly adjusted the colorful iron wire centipede to plug the leak, and he might even be killed by this dark golden soldier ant. The Warriors don't even know if they come back.

From the scene where 20 colorful iron wire centipedes besieged the soldier ant warrior, Luke discovered the horror of this soldier ant warrior.

First, the defense is frighteningly high.

The joint legs of the colorful iron wire centipede are extremely sharp, and the two strongest joint legs at the tail are even more powerful. If ordinary soldier ants are stabbed by them, even the thickest fiery red carapace can't resist them, and they can directly kill them. Hole through.

But stabbing the dark golden carapace of this soldier ant warrior only left a shallow hole, which is no different from no injury.

Secondly, its attack power is even more terrifying.

The two sharp cone-like teeth are not only twice as long as the dagger-shaped teeth of ordinary soldier ants, but also several times stronger in sharpness.

Whether it's the fiery red carapace of an ordinary soldier ant, or the colorful back shell of a colorful iron-threaded centipede, if you touch it, it will be pierced.

It can be exaggerated to say that you will die if you touch it, and you will die if you touch it.

But the most powerful thing about it, and what frightened Luke the most, was not these two points, but its phantom-like assault speed.

No soldier ant can catch up to its elegant footsteps, and no one can make defensive actions before being hit by it.

Thirty percent of the 147 casualties soldier ants died under its pair of sharp cone-like teeth, and 18 of the 17 colorful iron wire centipedes died because they were pierced through their carapace.

If it hadn't been given a headshot by a sudden pea bullet, I'm afraid the situation of the entire ambush would have been reversed by it.

However, no matter how powerful it is, it is now too dead, and it will soon become Luke's meal on the plate.

As the victor, as the host of the [Swallowing Sky System], Luke will soon have a super elite army composed of soldier ants and warriors.

But before that happens, Luke has a very serious problem in front of him.

[Swallowing Sky System] did not indicate that this is a devourable beast, which means that even the dead soldier ant warriors are still very dangerous to him.

Luke guessed that it might be because in the battle just now, the soldier ant warrior was poisoned by the colorful iron wire centipede.

Obviously, the system judged that those poisons are very dangerous to Luke now. If he devours the soldier ant warrior, he will probably lose his life because of it.

But if he doesn't devour it, then he will miss an elite army, and still can only rely on ordinary soldier ants to expand at a slow pace.

That kind of result was also something he didn't want to see.

Now, to devour, or not to devour, was a question for Luke.
