440 - Smell
"Oh my God! It's indeed a group species of the Ant Family of Hymenoptera Hymenoptera. Most of the behavioral characteristics of lava military ants are almost exactly the same as those of the Ant Family on Earth. Are you going to ask me to help you find insecticides? Radar? Or gunman? I doubt how effective pyrethroids can play in these fire elemental monsters. Besides, we don't have these things at all."
After receiving Lin Mo's call, Gemini sister Li Mubing looked at the terrible video footage just transmitted from the laptop screen in front of her and the updated biological map cloud database, grinned and stroked her forehead to make a headache.
The number of biodiversity and intelligent races in this world far exceeds that of the earth. Not only sea, land and air, but also in the underground world and outside the sky, there are unimaginable strange creatures. With her biological foundation, it is probably difficult to think of appropriate countermeasures in a short period of time.
"I have no choice. These bugs are too difficult to kill. I'm afraid that before they are killed, the civilians and soldiers are likely to have been eaten up."
Lin Mo was helpless. He and the Golden Dragon were both experts, but he was a little helpless in dealing with this group of thick-skinned insects, especially those insects who were still very interested in metals and had no appetite for meat and vegetables.
The eleven dragon knights of the Royal Dragon Cavalry Legion joined forces to block the lava army ant colony. The third batch of ants that were desperately numerous have appeared again. They seemed to have a deep hatred with Baiyang Town and rushed towards them desperately.
The only thing he could think of at this moment was the strategic and tactical think tanks of the Li sisters.
"Okay, I think of a solution. Princess Modai seems to know a lot about the creatures in this world, well! Wait, I remembered a biological knowledge about ants. They usually use special smells as communication tools. Is there anything you have in your body that interests these lava military ants? It is not difficult to secretly apply something special to the town and you. I'll ask Modai first. I'll call you later."
After Li Mubing hung up Lin Mo's communication link, he began to re-dial.
"Hey! Your Highness Modai..."
"Gold coins, kill as many lava military ants as possible, and now we can only treat live horses as dead horses!"
Lin Mo knocked on the golden dragon under his body.
"Okay, I can't help you!"
The gold-type dragon immediately lowered its height, and the dragon's tail evolved into a sharp large blade that was vertically facing the ground. Just like a knight charge, it used speed to increase the damage effect of its blade in the air.
This method is indeed very useful. The dragon tail cut through the ant colony at high speed, and the broken tentacles, the broken limbs and the broken ant corpse left a wreckage line.
After two consecutive low-altitude swept, the sharp dragon tail successfully killed hundreds of lava military ants, but the gold-type dragon raised its height again. It was not in a hurry to conduct the next dive.
It raised its red and shiny dragon tail and said to its knight, "See, if I keep coming twice, my dragon tail will be melted, and they have begun to notice us."
The originally very complete dragon tail has a pothole, dense gaps, and a formic acid residue that emits a faint high temperature. It is completely gone without the sharpness and light of the previous one.
"This is?"
Lin Mo was a little shocked when he saw such a miserable dragon tail.
A layer of extremely hot high-temperature layer gathers above the ant colony, which is even enough to reach the level of melting gold and iron. As for those ugly traces, it is mostly related to the fierce counterattack of giant ants.
"Those lava military ants gnaw on each other, they will even chew on the dragon's mouth when they try to die. If they do it again, they will be even more desperate."
The golden dragon used his actions to prove that Lin Mo's suggestion was a completely bad idea.
This is simply a loss-making deal. Although low-altitude cutting can kill some lava military ants, the damage accumulated by these puppy-sized giant ants backfire before death is enough to make the golden dragon drink a pot.
The world's metal resources are not easy to replenish. The average cost of killing a lava military ant is completely overpaid. If you fight for a war of attrition, the most disadvantage will be the gold dragon.
"Is there no way to suppress them?" Lin Mo was discouraged. He remembered a message provided by Li Mubing, and then said: "Okay, let's try it. Are there any scents that make lava military ants so persistent, so let's take a bath for everyone first."
Since I can't do it recklessly, I can only change one method. This suggestion has received support from many people.
In order to save his life, everyone took action immediately.
When the lava military ant colony approached Baiyang Town with heat waves less than one kilometer, the 29th Legion only brought the necessary supplies to escort the young and strong civilians in the town successfully retreated five kilometers away and went east with all their might.
The old and weak in the town are on the back of the monster Xuan Yuhuangxing. Their safety is completely safe, so there is no need to worry about the ant colony crawling into the sky.
The wind-type dragon began to push the clouds collected nearby, gathering them together to form a rich and abundant tone, reducing the casting conditions for the water-type dragon.
The heavy rain poured down, and everyone rubbed their skin and clothes desperately, and even let the rain water over everything they carried, except food, and even on the road in the future.
So much so that the marching team in the rain was marching in the mud, while water drips kept falling all over their bodies, and they all became like chickens falling from the ground.
Lin Mo, who kept paying close attention to the ant colony in the sky with the golden dragon, quickly discovered something unusual.
After rushing into the empty town, many lava military ants rushed to the well without hesitation, as well as the water tanks, buckets and stoves in the houses. A large amount of evaporated water vapor turned into white mist and rose from the town, with a huge chirping sound.
Are these giant ants unable to get along with all the water sources?
No, it seems not all! But without exception, there are public wells and other water supply facilities. Lin Mo widened his eyes and looked at the abnormal movements in the town. He had never heard of such a deep hatred between lava military ants and water.
The whole town quickly burned, turned into a sea of fire and reflected a small red half of the sky. Fortunately, no casualties were found.
"Molin, it's raining!"
The voice of the dragon rider General Gedal came from his ears. He was responsible for directing the "collective cleaning". In order to maintain such a large amount of rainfall, the dragon rider fed his dragon companions a large amount of potions in the hope of extending such high-intensity spell casting ability as much as possible.
Everyone, regardless of gender, age, or civilian soldiers, including the monster Xuan Yuhuangxing, was exposed to the rain curtain without any obstruction and was baptized by the sky.
"Gardal, I seem to have discovered something!"
Lin Mo realized that Li Mubing's inadvertent words might have guessed the truth by mistake.
After entering the town and occupying the barracks outside the town, many lava military ants on the ground did not continue to pursue the evacuated people. Most of them remained in the town and surrounded the wells, drilling around like headless flies, and more were raising their tentacles to light the air, trying to find something.
"What? What did you find?"
Gardal's voice came quickly.
"Water! There are things that lava military ants are interested in in all public water supply facilities, and you also have them, maybe everyone has them. There is a great possibility that they are smells, special smells."
Recalling the ants used scent as a communication tool and beacon, Lin Mo quickly deduced a terrible fact.
As Li Mubing said, it is difficult to detect some tricks and tricks into these wells. It was not until after the conspiracy broke out that some clues were revealed.
"Dragon God is above, what should I do?"
Thinking that everyone had the smell of making lava military ants crazy, Dragon Rider Gardell couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. Perhaps the human race stained with these smells was like a sweet and delicious cake in the eyes of these giant ants, and they had to take a bite.
Who was the sauce that was dipped in Baiyang Town and the 29th Legion, which was extremely vicious.
"Walk as far as possible and find a flowing water source, you must wash all the smell on your body, and you must not have any residue at all. At the same time, create more smoke to confuse and interfere with these smells."
A young woman's voice suddenly penetrated, and Gedale and Lin, who were talking, agreed that the other party was Li Mubing.
She called Lin Mo and found that she was busy. She also found that she was busy when she called Gordal. She could only use the advanced authority to force the conversation between the two, turning one-to-one into a conference call.
"Just do this! At the same time, I send people to keep a close eye on the inside of the legion and among the civilians. There may be rebel spies, and then keep the alert point away."
Lin Mo immediately agreed with this suggestion and made supplements. Using rainwater to rinse still has a certain effect. In order to ensure that there is no accident, it is very necessary to pass the water again.
"Okay! I'll tell General Jiao Longqi!~"
As the protector of the transfer team, Dragon Rider Gardell immediately confirmed the suggestion.
After nightfall, at 1:00 a.m.
Whether it was soldiers or civilians, they collapsed in a small wood about fifty kilometers away from Baiyang Town.
The long journey almost exhausted their last little energy. As soon as the team stopped moving forward, they lay down on the ground, not even having time to chew dry food, and snore loudly.
I encountered several streams in the middle, and I took a bath again and again, making everyone still wet until they lie down. In addition, sweat felt very sticky. Maybe someone would get sick because of it, but at this time I couldn't care about anything.
Fortunately, after occupying the military camps outside Baiyang Town and the town, the lava military ants did not come out to chase and transfer the team except for running around in these two places. Therefore, the 29th Legion and the townsmen got enough safe distance.
Chapter completed!
