Chapter 169 Mutated Ants
"A group of insects have been attracted to the underground by the fire. We don't know what they are. Wake everyone up and be alert. Be prepared for battle." The knock on the door woke up Jun Lie and Cheng Yan. Luo Xia Ran nodded to Jun Lie, who was dressed neatly.
Since the end of the world, Luo Xia Ran has always slept in a neatly dressed state unless she was in the inn. Being haunted by nightmares and unable to get a better rest, it is conceivable that even if they have no worries about food and clothing after the end of the world, the mental state of the survivors is not much better.
"Okay." If it was the Jun Lie before the secret talk with Leng Xi, he would have asked Luo Xia Ran to stay in the safe place upstairs, but the current Jun Lie would not do so. He already knew that Luo Xia Ran was not a girl who liked to hide behind others to be protected, but a female warrior.
Sharp whistles sounded, one after another, and after just a few seconds, all the team members who were resting in the room quickly ran out of the room and came to the living room downstairs to gather.
The team of cats on the sofa in the living room, although they did not find any source of danger, but since Jun Lie had warned them, they also became alert.
"There is something abnormal under the bonfire. Fire elements are responsible for cleaning the bonfire. Be careful. Earth elements are ready to attack and release their powers to imprison the ground." The ground in the yard was made of cement. The bonfire heated up the ground, so Jun Lie did not let anyone go out. Besides, they did not know what kind of mutant animal was attacking them. It would be safer to wait for the opponent to make a move and then counter it. Upon hearing this
, several members of the fire element walked to the door and quickly released their powers towards the bonfire. The bonfire became more vigorous, and soon all the firewood burned out, leaving only black ash on the ground.
After the fire team members retreated, the earth team members stepped forward. After a faint "rustling" sound, a number of thumb-sized holes appeared on the cement floor. Because it was under the black ash, Jian Liang, who had enhanced vision, was the first to discover it.
"Boss, it's a mutant ant, as thick as a thumb!" Jian Liang looked carefully and shouted loudly. As soon as Jian Liang finished speaking, black ants with red eyes quickly crawled out from under the black ash.
The densely packed ants filled the entire ground, there were thousands of them, making a "crackling" sound, which made people's backs numb and cold sweats flow.
The hunting dogs such as Black Mountain standing beside Luo Xia Ran kept sharpening their claws on the floor of the living room, but because Luo Xia Ran did not send out an attack signal, they did not take action.
The mental power was always paying attention to the situation under the ground. Seeing that the ants had all crawled out, Luo Xia Ran said: "Seal the ground, don't let them escape! Mutated ants can be eaten!"
Speaking of the most difficult thing to guard against in the end times are these mutant animals living in the soil, but mutant animals can be eaten. Luo Xia Ran didn't know how many ants and mice she had eaten in her previous life, not to mention earthworms.
After hearing Luo Xiaran's words, the new team members all turned to look at Jun Lie. Only Lin Jie and Cui Bin, who had accompanied Jun Lie to pick up Luo Xiaran, quickly used their earth-related abilities to reinforce the ground in the yard.
Perhaps sensing the fluctuations of the earth-related abilities, the mutant ants began to get restless. Many ants communicated with each other through the antennae on their heads, and then quickly rushed into the house.
