Chapter 272 Bad luck
No one objected to Hu Shao's decision. Although the storm outside was still going on, it was about to stop after all, and we could still move forward.
After a storm, the terrain has basically changed completely. If it is not someone with rich experience or flying ability, I am afraid that they will not be able to distinguish the direction.
But there was a soul master in front of Hu Shao, who led everyone in one direction very precisely.
After getting along with this person for this period of time, Gentiana Qin also knew his name, Ning Bai.
The 55th-level soul master, Wuhun Chameleon, can know the direction, not only because he has been there himself, but also because he left a mark in the ruins, even if it is thousands of miles away, he can still sense it.
As long as there is a little bit of induction, you can determine the direction, and then follow along.
At daybreak, the storm finally died down, and the desert felt blazing again.
They walked southwest for only an hour, when Gentiana Qin's face changed, and he shouted, "Go, go southeast."
"Ah?" Hu Shao was stunned: "But, my lord, the ruins are not in the southeast."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's too late."
"Go." Hu Shao gritted his teeth and gave the order anyway.
It's just that this is a temporary adventure team after all, and it's a sudden change of direction. They don't follow orders like the army, so they don't advance fast. Soon, they know why they have to leave quickly.
"It's too late."
Qin Gentiana sighed slightly, Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Renxue didn't even have time to ask why.
In the distance, a red stream is rapidly approaching, 600 meters, 500 meters
"Desert marching ants." Hu Shao finally cried out in horror.
In the wild, the most fearful thing is to encounter this kind of thing that appears in groups, and it is also such a predator with strong attack power. It is considered modest to pass by without a blade of grass.
"Defensive soul masters, stand outside and form a circle. Long-range attack and range attack soul masters, stand in the middle, hurry up." Hu Shao quickly ordered, and soon, the surrounding soul masters also took action.
Seeing the desert marching ants approaching, Hu Shao hurriedly said, "Fire soul masters and plant soul masters cooperate to erect a wall of fire around them. Don't let them in."
Soon, a one-meter-high wall of fire surrounded them directly.
The firewall did suppress them outside, which made Hu Shao heave a sigh of relief.At least, flames are still threatening to them.
But the next moment, everyone was shocked.
I saw the red desert army ants pounce directly on the fire wall.
One after another, tens of thousands of ants rushed into the flames, emitting bursts of burnt smell.And the flame of the wall of fire is also constantly weakening, and it seems that it will be extinguished soon.
"Increase the flame."
Hu Shao shouted quickly, but it was useless. The burning speed of the flame was not as fast as the covering speed of the red ants.
"Boom~"
Golden flames and black flames covered the wall of fire, instantly solving the urgent need.
It was Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing who made the move, and Hu Shao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the move."
Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, Qin Geng frowned tightly: "It's not an option to go on like this! Only by finding the Queen Ant can the crisis be completely resolved."
"My lord, if you want to find the queen ant, you must have the cooperation of a flying soul master, otherwise it's impossible. And the queen ant is not so easy to find, it is usually protected heavily."
Hu Shao quickly reminded that there were no flying soul masters in their team.
"I'll leave it to you, Zhuqing, let's go."
Gentiana Qin carried Zhu Zhuqing on his back, spread out a pair of golden transparent wings on his back, and flew into the sky.
And Qian Renxue also released her martial soul, and eight spider legs stretched out from her back, with golden flames radiating from the tips of the legs, and the flames of the wall of fire intensified.
Gentiana Qin took Zhu Zhuqing into the sky and began to look for the queen's location.
Zhu Zhuqing opened the 'double pupils', and kept watching the red tide, for fear of missing any place.
"Over there." Zhu Zhuqing pointed in a direction.
Qin Gentiana looked over, in fact, without Zhu Zhuqing's command, he also saw the position of the Queen Ant.It was obviously a ball, and the one who protected the queen ant in the middle must be right.
"Holy Silver Sky Arrow."
A sacred silver crossbow wrapped in blue-purple flames was aimed at the position of the queen ant.
Perhaps sensing her own threat, the queen controlled the ant colony and erected an 'ant wall' in front of her, completely enveloping her.
"Hmph~" Gentiana Qin revealed a hint of sarcasm.
The strongest thing about the holy silver crossbow is its piercing power. Even the strongest defense of turtles can be directly shot through.
Arrows carrying flames and wind thorns went straight to the ant queen in the center.
"Shu~"
The arrows splashed a lot of dust on the ground, indicating that they had not only penetrated the defense, but also pierced the queen ant's heart.
"Shhhh~"
After the death of the queen ant, the ant colony had no command, and quickly became flustered. Instinctively afraid of the flames, they crawled forward and disappeared into the desert.
Hu Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and some soul masters even wept with joy.
After Gentiana Qin came back, he respected Gentiana Qin a lot psychologically.
Before, he thought that Gentiana Qin was the son of some powerful force, but he deserved their respect just because he could save them from the ants colony in the desert march.
Hu Shao was also afraid for a while, if Qin Geng and the others did not join, they would definitely be wiped out here, even if he was a soul sage, they would not be able to escape.
Facing the overwhelming army ants in the desert, even soul masters with large-scale attack capabilities are not immune, and only flying soul masters can survive.
After tidying up a bit, everyone was afraid to go on the road again.
Most of them are adventurers here. They are used to life and death, and they quickly cleared up their mood.
After walking for about ten kilometers, they saw the ruins again, on their way forward.
Gentiana Qin was a little relieved: "It seems that these desert marching ants are hiding from the storm in this place. When the storm subsides, they will come out and meet our travel route."
"Bad luck!" Qian Renxue also sighed.
I can only lament that my luck is bad, and no one can predict this kind of thing.
If there are too many people, the overall speed will be slowed down. Even if they are all soul masters, not everyone can maintain their physical and soul power and rush to the middle of the desert quickly.
A group of them walked for ten days before entering the center of the Blood Peak Desert.
There are no plants around, except for the sand, which are some rock walls that have been eroded by the wind.
"My lord, the ruins of the Temple of the Goddess of Day are less than [-] kilometers ahead." Hu Shao respectfully reported to Qin Gentian: "We will soon enter the inspection range of the Medusa clan, and I suggest taking a break here to recharge your batteries. Enter later."
"Okay, you make a decision!"
"Yes." Hu Shao shouted: "Everyone, rest in place."
