Red imported fire ant colonies have always been known for their strong and assertive nature.
Although they didn't know why the enemies behind them suddenly became weaker, they would definitely not let this good opportunity pass them by.
Intending to strike while the enemy was down, they began to pursue the enemy behind them.
However, once the red imported fire ants started the pursuit, the enemy behind them seemed to suddenly become stronger, and wiped out the entire pursuing force of the red imported fire ants.
The red imported fire ants were a bit confused, but they still chased after them a few more times.
As a result, the pursuing troops still suffered heavy casualties.
They realized what was happening and decided not to pursue.
After all, they're not invincible; they're not easy to fight, so there's no need to stubbornly try to bite off more than you can chew.
The next 10,000-plus red imported fire ants all focused their attention on the black beetles at the front line.
This black beetle is the natural enemy of the red imported fire ant, and they are also sworn enemies who fight each other as soon as they meet.
One has extremely high attack power and is very agile; the other has extremely high defense but is slow-moving.
They're practically born enemies.
However, the red ants, with their almost zero intelligence, failed to notice.
The large number of corpses left behind on the rear battlefield have all disappeared.
They were all taken away by Zhao Zian's big-headed ants.
Zhao Zian's big-headed ant certainly didn't run away because it couldn't win the fight.
All of this was done under Zhao Zian's orders.
Although they had the upper hand at the time, the red imported fire ants' counterattack did indeed cause heavy losses to the big-headed ant army.
Zhao Zian has obtained so many red ant bodies; as long as he can devour the corresponding talents, that will be enough.
Killing more fire ants wouldn't actually yield much benefit.
He had some worker ants carry all the corpses of the red imported fire ants back into the nest.
The queen ant can digest it when the time comes.
However, his retreating troops had not completely left at this time.
He observed the situation on the field. If both sides were to fight to the death, he would simply take down both the red fire ants and the black beetles.
He withdrew his troops in time when the fire ants were at a disadvantage, partly because he didn't want to suffer too many losses, and partly because he had this same thought in mind.
As he had expected, the two races fought fiercely, neither willing to back down.
Moreover, the two races were evenly matched in strength, so the battles between them were quite intense.
The red imported fire ants had been ambushed by Zhao Zi'an and were outnumbered, so the black beetles held the upper hand.
Zhao Zian casually sent some ants to collect corpses around the battlefield between the two races.
Although food is plentiful now, he still doesn't mind having more food.
This chaotic battle was really exciting to watch, with all sorts of insect limbs scattered everywhere, and both races were fighting with bloodlust.
Some of the mutilated insects were still struggling, trying to get up and deliver the final blow to their enemy.
Red imported fire ants are relatively small. After biting through the black beetle's defenses, they will burrow into the beetle's body and tear at its flesh.
After the black beetle bites the red imported fire ant in two, some of the red ants, whose half-bodies are not yet dead, continue to crawl to the black beetle using their forelegs to bite it.
Sometimes, even when a red imported fire ant bites a black beetle and its body is bitten off by the beetle's companions, its head remains firmly embedded in the enemy's body. Even in death, it still inflicts significant damage on the enemy.
Even the black beetle, with its very thick defenses, is not invincible after repeated attacks and will eventually break down.
Once bitten, the red imported fire ants may even spray formic acid directly into the wound.
Although the outer shell is very hard, how can the body or internal organs inside withstand the attack of formic acid?
The entire battlefield was a scene of utter devastation.
This is why Zhao Zian was unwilling to engage in a direct confrontation with the red imported fire ants.
Chun Chun is a battle maniac; she's incredibly fierce when she fights, and even if she wins, she definitely won't gain much advantage.
After another half hour of fighting, the two types of insects were killing each other, and many more corpses piled up. At this point, the red fire ants only had one or two thousand soldiers left, while the black beetles still had more than ten thousand left.
Overall, the black beetle still held the advantage on the battlefield.
The ground was littered with the broken legs, joints, and bodies bitten in half by red imported fire ants.
The black beetle's size gives it a natural advantage over the red ant, given the same numbers.
Moreover, the red imported fire ants were also ambushed by Zhao Zi'an.
At this point, Zhao Zian was already planning to take over the battlefield.
Let's wait for the red imported fire ants to launch one last counterattack and see how much damage they can inflict on the black beetles.
Finally, after fighting nearly 10,000 black beetles for a long time, they were starting to feel exhausted.
If Zhao Zian were to launch another attack with his main force, they would have absolutely no chance of escaping.
Red imported fire ants are extremely domineering; even when only a tiny number of units remain, they do not intend to flee but instead plan to fight to the death with their enemies.
Just as they launched their final counterattack.
Then some more green creatures came from the surrounding area.
These creatures are very large, about one meter tall.
There were also a few stronger ones, who were about 1.2 meters tall.
Green skin and pointed ears.
They were wearing simple clothes made of animal fur.
Some were holding simply processed wooden sticks, while others were holding bones from unknown wild animals.
Some small, thin creatures, with nothing in their hands, could only follow the older ones in front, envying the weapons in their hands.
They all wore lewd smiles, with crooked, yellowed teeth, and seemed to have some vegetable leaves and bits of meat from some unknown creature stuck in their mouths.
There was also some thick, disgusting saliva dripping from his mouth.
Every time I exhale, I feel like I'm polluting the air.
Zhao Zian: "..."
Goblins?!
What are these green-skinned creatures if not goblins?
Basically, in other adventure stories, they are all low-level monsters used to grind experience.
They're no different from weaklings like slimes.
Of course, some films are an exception.
The humans there are so useless; it makes the goblins seem much stronger.
Zhao Zian controlled the flying ants to examine the goblins.
The goblins seemed to have noticed the tiny insects flying around as well.
However, they didn't seem to care much, simply waving their paws a few times to shoo them away before continuing on their way.
Meanwhile, they were already drawn to the battle between the red ants and the black beetles.
The goblins walking in front looked at the scene before them and couldn't help but growl.
Glug glug...
"Gibberish, gibberish..."
"Guala ji li, gua gua la la la..."
Seemingly after exchanging some information, the goblins resolutely walked towards the direction where the two types of insects were fighting.
