The earthquake caused by the war also affected the city, and the ground was shaking violently.
Gao Han's body also shook a few times, and he immediately threw a few immobilization talismans into the pits where the man-eating ants kept crawling out, and looked up at the sky outside the city.
He recognized this aura; it belongs to Zhongli Tingzhou.
Such a powerful force suddenly burst out, and he felt a little worried in his heart. He was not afraid that Zhongli Tingzhou would not be able to defeat the Crested Flycatcher, but he was worried that someone would make a fuss about this incident afterwards.
Zhongli Tingzhou, who turned back into the master personality, was unable to use the light vein spirit of Zhongli in white for some reason, and vice versa.
However, Zhongli Tingzhou is the youngest son of Grandpa Zhongli after all. Even if the identity of the Demon King is revealed to the world, it should not be a big deal.
To be on the safe side, Gao Han was more determined to find evidence.
Outside the city, after the smoke from the big move settled, the ground returned to calm.
Everyone saw that the mountain that was originally behind the Crowned Flycatcher had been flattened, and even a pit hundreds of meters long appeared. The pit was so deep that it was pitch black at a glance.
The Crowned Flycatcher that was blasted into the ground has not come out for a long time. Those with weaker strength can only stare at the pit, while those with stronger strength, through perception, have already known that there is no possibility for the Crowned Flycatcher to crawl out again, because his breath has disappeared.
Humans gradually realized this, and a hint of disbelief arose in their hearts.
Another higher creature was killed by Zhongli Tingzhou!
Cheers suddenly rang out.
Cut through the sky and reach the clouds.
If morale can be seen with the naked eye, everyone will definitely find that at this moment the human spirit must be extremely brave.
"This is impossible. Guanlin's strength is even higher than mine. How could he die?" Peregrine Falcon couldn't believe it.
"So you should take care of yourself now." Qin Jun rushed over in an instant, his thunder hammer flashing with lightning. The dark clouds in the sky were attracted by his thunder and lightning, and thunder and lightning were brewing with a rumbling sound.
When he hit the peregrine falcon hard, a thick bolt of lightning instantly struck the peregrine falcon at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.
The peregrine falcon was too shocked to dodge in time, and one of its wings was hit. Black smoke was emitted, and it staggered backwards and hit the bearded vulture behind it.
Hu Vulture's situation was not good either. His opponent was General Shen, one of the strongest men in the military. Seeing others defeating their opponents one after another, General Shen did not show weakness. He made an effort and beat Hu Vulture back step by step. Fortunately, Kuangshi arrived in time.
On the other hand, the poisonous tank scorpion and the cassowary teamed up to deal with Grandpa Zhongli, but failed to gain any benefits.
There has been no news of any movement from the man-eating ants that they have placed their hopes on.
"Du Tank, haven't the man-eating ants already entered the human city? Why is there no movement yet?" The ostrich didn't understand, as there had clearly been an explosion before.
He didn't understand, and the Poison Scorpion didn't understand even more. He never imagined that there would be mutant creatures that recognized humans as their masters and helped humans deal with them, destroying their plans completely. If they had known this earlier, they would not have used sound waves as signals to transmit information.
The person that the poisonous tank scorpion fears the most now is Zhongli Tingzhou. He has already killed the crowned flycatcher. If he helps other human strongmen again, more advanced mutant creatures will die next.
At this time, Zhongli Tingzhou did something that no one expected.
He did not go to help Zhong Lihe who was nearest to him, but turned around without hesitation. The black figure instantly disappeared into the city. The faces of several advanced mutant creatures instantly became very ugly.
In the backyard of the treatment area, Gao Han used a talisman to immobilize the man-eating ants.
The effect of the immobilization talisman only lasted for twenty seconds. The soldiers took the opportunity to kill many of the immobilized man-eating ants, but Gao Han's immobilization talismans were soon used up.
The soldiers were overjoyed as fewer and fewer man-eating ants emerged from the ground.
"Major Gao, we're almost done killing the man-eating ants."
Gao Han's expression was solemn. "No, the man-eating ants are a huge species. It's impossible that there are only so many of them every time they go out."
Although they have killed quite a few man-eating ants so far, if you look closely, there are only a few hundred of them.
"What's going on?" The soldier asked worriedly, his joy fading.
Gao Han asked Fugui to listen. Fugui lay on the ground and listened for a while, with his two paws pointing in two directions.
When Gao Han saw it, he immediately knew that he was in trouble.
"The man-eating ants dug two other tunnels underground."
Everyone's face turned pale, and one soldier hurriedly said, "I'll go and inform Adjutant Chen immediately."
Gao Han stood there with a gloomy expression. He was thinking more than the soldiers. These man-eating ants suddenly split up. The worst result was that there was a queen ant commanding them from below.
The strength of this queen ant is undoubtedly the strongest, but no one knows from which direction it will attack.
If it attacks here, it would be fine with him guarding it, but if it runs to the other two directions, he is worried that Adjutant Chen and his men may not be able to hold on.
Just as I was worrying, a cold wind suddenly blew from behind.
A black light flew past him and hit a man-eating ant that was pouncing on him. Its head flew off and a stream of blue blood splattered.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Zhongli Tingzhou appeared behind him, frowning and said unhappily.
Gao Han glanced at him and didn't say anything. Even if he didn't take action, he had already seen the man-eating ant and was about to take action when he was taken a step forward.
"Why are you here? How's that Crowned Flycatcher?"
"Dead." Zhongli Tingzhou said concisely.
Gao Han's eyes lit up slightly. "Oh, right, the man-eating ants have already split up from underground and are preparing to attack from two directions. You are the one guarding this place first. Adjutant Chen and I will guard the other side."
Zhongli Tingzhou wanted to go with him, but before he could open his mouth, he heard him add something.
"I suspect that the queen ant is probably down there. I'll leave it to you."
Gao Han finished his words hurriedly and left in a hurry.
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at the corpses of man-eating ants filling the pit and roughly knew why the queen ant came here.
Gao Han took Fugui and went to find Adjutant Chen first. He told him that the man-eating ants had split up underground, told him a rough range, and then went to find another group of man-eating ants.
Zhongli Tingzhou was quite unhappy as he was left behind. He exuded a cold and indifferent aura that kept people at a distance. The soldiers around him did not dare to approach him. They had always heard that Lieutenant General Zhongli was not easy to approach, and the rumors turned out to be true.
Although he was unhappy, Zhongli Tingzhou did not intentionally release a powerful pressure. Instead, he restrained his aura.
After a while, the number of man-eating ants, which had been decreasing, suddenly increased sharply.
The soldiers began to admire Major Gao again, as what he said was right.
The man-eating ants deliberately split into two groups in order to lure him away.
Major Gao did leave, but he left behind the stronger Zhongli Tingzhou.
The queen ant underground had not noticed it yet, but when she sensed that Gao Han's breath had disappeared, she immediately sent out a signal, summoning more man-eating ants to break out, and the signal became more and more urgent.
It wants to let its people break through these humans' defenses before that human returns.
Dozens, or even hundreds of man-eating ants, emerged from the increasingly larger pit. Some of them jumped directly up, revealing their ferocious facial features with bared fangs and claws.
Zhongli Tingzhou sneered, without even using the sword in his hand, and directly sent out a wisp of black gas.
This wisp of black air was like a fish swimming into the sea, swimming excitedly and happily among the man-eating ants.
The man-eating ant that was pierced by it became a shriveled corpse in an instant, and only a corpse shell was left smashed back into the pit, looking empty.
In a short while, all the hundreds of man-eating ants died.
The black energy, having eaten and drunk its fill, returned to Zhongli Tingzhou.
The soldier looked confused.
This scene seemed to deeply stimulate the queen ant at the bottom of the pit, causing her to emit angry sound waves, her voice so sharp that it penetrated the membrane.
Blood was oozing from the soldiers' ears. It was no use covering their ears tightly. The sound did not seem to enter through the ears, but rather pierced directly through the brain. Everyone looked to Zhongli Tingzhou for help.
Zhongli Tingzhou's expression was as stern as ever, his eyes staring at the pit were extremely dark, with a hint of murderous intent hidden between his brows. He punched down, and the pit was immediately filled with sand and rocks.
The sand and stones were not splashing around blindly, but were shot at the man-eating ants that were preparing to climb up, and most of them fell on the queen ant.
The queen ant's scream was interrupted, and she raised her hideous and terrifying head in the pit, staring at Zhongli Tingzhou on the edge of the pit with a pair of vicious eyes.
At the same time, Gao Han rushed to another underground passage opened by the man-eating ants.
As soon as we arrived, the ground began to crack, just like the previous scene.
In this scene, not only is the cracking speed faster, but the area is also constantly expanding.
The nearby soldiers and spirit refiners retreated in fear.
The place chosen by the man-eating ants was a square, which was more difficult to guard than the backyard of the treatment area.
Gao Han stood on the roof, looking at the crack below, where the bodies of the man-eating ants were faintly visible, and suddenly thought of a solution.
An intermediate spiritual weapon appeared in his hand, and a rune began to glow.
Several fireballs quickly gathered in front of the spiritual weapon and shot towards the bottom of the crack.
The flames exploded instantly and spread in all directions. Hot flames emerged from the ground. The scorching temperature made the people nearby retreat involuntarily, and the man-eating ants underground were even more miserable.
The collapsed ground revealed a group of man-eating ants covered in flames. The ants screamed and crawled out from the ground, intending to attack humans, but were burned to death in the middle of the attack, leaving behind carbon-like shells.
Fire seemed to be the natural enemy of the man-eating ants. After hundreds of man-eating ants were burned to death at the same time, the man-eating ants behind the underground retreated like a tide.
On the other hand, Adjutant Chen and his men were not as quick as Gao Han, but they also had many tricks up their sleeves.
The place where these man-eating ants were located was not a square, but a corner, which was blocked by them.
Knowing that man-eating ants are afraid of fire, Adjutant Chen arranged a dozen soldiers with fire talismans.
The power and temperature of the flame were not as strong as Gao Han's spiritual weapon, but it also forced the man-eating ants to retreat step by step.
The screams of her people reached the queen ant's ears one after another, making her more and more anxious. She began to dig into the soil with several legs, and suddenly opened her ferocious teeth, emitting a sonic attack that was sharper than before.
This attack only affected Zhongli Tingzhou. The sound waves caused the void to become turbulent, and explosive gusts of wind blew everywhere.
The soldiers in the backyard were swept away by the residual force and could not even stand steadily.
Soon he was staggering all over the place and had to hold on to the corner of the wall to avoid being blown away.
Zhongli Tingzhou stood at the center of the sound waves, his expression cold and unmoved. Although the queen ant was powerful, her actual combat power was not even half that of the crowned flycatcher. As long as she was trapped in one place, the means she could use would be very monotonous, such as sonic attacks.
Zhongli Tingzhou raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth and took out his long sword, with a sinister black aura emitting from the tip of the sword.
When the queen ant saw the black air, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she actually retreated. Her legs began to slowly move backwards, while instructing the man-eating ants behind her.
The man-eating ants received the order from the queen ant and crawled out without hesitation, climbing up the pit like moths to a flame.
"If you want to run, it's too late." Zhongli Tingzhou said softly.
With a swing of the sword, the black sword light exploded dozens of times, like a dark giant beast, pouncing towards the man-eating ants in the pit.
The queen ant felt the threat of death and without hesitation abandoned her people and ran away.
The man-eating ants piled up layer upon layer of man-eating ant walls behind her to block this force for the queen ant.
Wherever the black sword light passed, the man-eating ants were cut in half, and the surging force attacked the queen ant.
The queen ant turned around and saw the black sword light coming towards her with unabated momentum. In an instant, she was swallowed up by the black sword light.
The terrifying thing about man-eating ants is that groups of them can devour human flesh and blood in a short period of time, but when they are trapped underground, their threat is not so strong.
The energy fluctuations in the pit gradually weakened.
Zhongli Tingzhou raised his stern eyebrows and suddenly jumped down.
The soldiers were too late to stop it.
Under the ground of City No. 1, wide passages were drilled by man-eating ants.
Zhongli Tingzhou stepped on the corpses of the man-eating ants, walked forward step by step, and came to a pile of corpses.
The man-eating ants with broken limbs gathered quietly in a pile. Suddenly, the pile of corpses moved.
A black shadow quickly rushed out from the pile of corpses and quickly disappeared at the bend of the passage.
The queen ant did not die. At the critical moment, countless man-eating ants rushed up and wrapped her, blocking most of the attacks for her, so that she was only slightly injured.
Zhongli Tingzhou did not stop and quickly chased after him.
The tunnel dug by the man-eating ants was very long. After making sure that they had left the underground of City No. 1, Zhongli Tingzhou attacked the queen ant without hesitation. Muffled explosions could be heard from the ground from time to time.
The queen ant was blown away, and the nearby man-eating ants received the rescue signal from the queen ant and began to dig holes frantically and drilled over to protect the queen ant.
Gao Han and Adjutant Chen soon discovered that the number of man-eating ants underground was decreasing. They no longer came out desperately like before, and soon they all ran away.
Compared with the mutant creatures' siege plan, the man-eating ants with extremely simple thinking only had the idea of rescuing their queen.
Gao Han thought of something, left the follow-up to others, and immediately returned to the city wall.
Looking outside the city from a high place, I saw nothing.
Groups of mutant creatures, under the instructions of higher-level mutant creatures such as peregrine falcons, continued to attack the city walls desperately. Every time they ran, the ground vibrated. All the vibrations added together formed a complex rumbling sound, making it difficult to hear sounds farther away.
Until on the plain in the distance, the ground suddenly exploded.
