Magus Tech Chapter 1237: Control Hub
Boom!
A fireball exploded, scorching a large area of ants, but immediately after the ant corpse was trampled by the rest of the ants, new ants rushed forward one after another.
"Swipe!"
A wind blade flew out, crushing a line of ants, but within a few seconds the ants on both sides closed in the middle and returned to normal.
"Shhhhhhh!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Li Cha condensed more than a dozen blood spears, shot them at the center of the ant colony, and exploded quickly. A large amount of erosive energy attached to the ants, taking their lives. However, it didn't disrupt the formation of ants, just a few breaths, and the gap was filled.
After Li Cha saw it, he couldn't help frowning. He noticed that the number of ants was indeed huge, so huge that he could use the ant sea tactics to fight against them regardless of death. And the other party is not blindly consuming, but is using these dead lives extremely efficiently.
For example, in the face of their spell attacks, before the spell hits the surface of the ant colony, many ants will jump up and trigger the spell in advance. In this way, although the jumping ants will die, they will reduce the damage to their companions.
This is simply a biological grid armor.
Although the power of the spell cannot be completely eliminated, it is reduced a lot. Falling on the rest of the ants, it was expected to cause ten damage, but now it can cause five or even three damage at most. What's even more amazing is that the ants that are injured and disabled will take the initiative to meet the next spell and die. If you die once, you can't achieve twice, if you die twice, you can achieve three times, and you can rest until you die, so as to maximize your own value.
For example, in a battle, there is not much difference between a soldier being stabbed once and being stabbed twice, both will lose their combat effectiveness. But now the ant colony has a choice, try to let each ant stab countless knives, and then die.
Each individual ant is no longer a simple life, but a tool, a tool for the pursuit of the highest utilization rate.
Li Cha understands what Jasmine said before, what it feels like to fight against an army, this is simply the most terrifying army.
"Boom!"
Waving his hand, Li Cha blasted out dozens of blood spears with all his strength, clearing away a large group of ants that came up, making the offensive slightly stagnant.
But it was only a stagnation, and the following ants did not panic, reorganized their attack, and consciously loosened up, weakening the attack effect of the blood spear.
On the other side, Jasmine and her party also blasted spells, causing a large number of casualties to the ant colony, but they kept retreating under the attack of the subsequent attacking ants.
"Damn ants!"
The female wizard Su became angry, jumped up suddenly, and chanted a spell in mid-air, preparing a large spell.
As a result, as soon as she left the ground, the ants caught fire, and thousands of acid clusters flew towards her. The acid mass seemed to be small in size, but it was extremely corrosive. The protective energy film on the surface of Su's body couldn't completely defend against it, it fluctuated constantly, and it looked like it would burst at any time.
Unable to finish chanting a spell, Su fell to the ground in embarrassment, a little resentful and unwilling, but under the crazy attack of the ant colony, he had no choice but to retreat backward with the rest of the people.
At this time, the group had already retreated to the edge of the gray-white highland, and if they retreated, they would leave the highland.
Jasmine obviously didn't want to repeat the previous experience. While ordering her subordinates to hold on, she looked at Li Cha and shouted: "Do you have a solution?"
Li Cha listened to the thought, squinted his eyes and watched the ants coming in like a tide, and fell into thinking.
What Jasmine said before is correct, a single ant is not difficult to deal with, and the same is true for hundreds or even thousands of ants. A spell or a few spells can always clean it up, but it is terrifying like now.
The simple quantity is large, and it can be barely accepted. After all, no matter how large the number is without cooperation, it is just a mess of loose sand, which can be ground to death in a few opportunistic ways.
For example, use earth magic to build several narrow passages under the high ground to lure ants in. In this way, on the one hand, it can disperse the opponent's strength, on the other hand, it can lengthen the opponent's front line, so that the opponent cannot exert its full combat power, and can attack at the end of the channel with great pressure, and slowly reduce the opponent's number.
But according to the decisive reaction of the female wizard Su just leaving the ground, she was instantly set on fire by the other party, I am afraid that the other party will not cooperate at all. If there are really narrow passages established, they will not enter, but will be flattened directly.
This is the army, the real army of minds. He will not attack indiscriminately, but will display various rational responses according to the environment in which he is located, and will always maintain his combat effectiveness.
From this point of view, what is really scary about the other party is their mind and wisdom.
Only by destroying this wisdom can the opponent be eliminated.
What is the source of that wisdom?
The opponent's body is indeed much larger than that of ordinary ants, but the brain capacity cannot guarantee that each individual has human-like intelligence.
Even if someone has the wisdom, they cannot cooperate so tacitly.
According to logical speculation, the opponent should have a control hub, maybe more than one, after all, the number of ant colonies is too large.
It is very likely that the other party has a top-down, multi-layered and multi-level control system, so that they can adjust, change, make overall plans, and launch attacks so flexibly.
Then...
Li Cha's eyes flashed with a faint blue light, and he turned on the perspective function of the staring eye, and stared at a position under the thick ant colony.
"Swipe!"
Golden light flashed three times on the surface of Li Cha's skin, and a large amount of energy enveloped his body, turning on the "Top Three" state.
"Crack!"
Stepping on his foot, Li Cha leaped into the ant colony, and punched heavily, the golden light on the surface of the fist exploded, smashing the bodies of many ants.
A purple ant the size of a fist is exposed in the pile of ant corpses. The shape of the opponent is very strange, with a huge head, occupying half of the body, but the six legs are extremely weak, unable to move by itself, and must be carried by a group of other ants.
After being exposed, the purple ant was a little flustered, and its antennae shook again and again. The ant under it seemed to have received a signal, and quickly hid behind it with it.
Li Cha naturally wouldn't let the opponent succeed, a blood spear with a magic level of four rings blasted out, directly blasting the opponent to pieces, and also wiped out the ants with a radius of several meters.
At the moment when it was wiped out, the ants more than ten meters away were all stagnant, as if they were frozen~IndoMTL.com~ Soon these ants returned to normal. come with a smile.
Sure enough... There is a control hub in the ant colony responsible for command and dispatch... Once the control hub is destroyed, it will directly affect the actions of the ant colony... Of course, there is not just one hub, destroying one will quickly be destroyed by the rest The hubs take over, replace, harmless... but destroying multiple, or even destroying almost all of them, should be irreparable.
Li Cha's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at a position in the ant colony twenty meters away.
"Swipe!"
Golden light flashed twice on the surface of the skin, covering the body with new energy, replenishing the damage of the ant acid. Then Li Cha flew over, fell down suddenly, and cast a spell to blast away the protective ants, exposing another purple big-headed ant, killing it mercilessly with a blood spear.
"Boom boom boom!"
Next, Li Cha's eyes flashed blue, he kept scanning his surroundings, and kept naming and eliminating the control hub of the ant colony.
