Chapter 414: Battle between Fire Spirit Flying Ants and Spirit Insects
Li Yi frowned, until the spirit insects flew closer, he could see the appearance of these flying ants clearly. Each of these flying ants was the size of an adult's finger, with two pairs of fiery red wings on its back, a pair of antennae on its head, and a pair of black eyes. Below was a sharp mouthpart, biting its jaws, which was very ferocious.
"This is the Fire Spirit Flying Ant, why is it here?" Li Yi exclaimed.
Fire Spirit Flying Ant, ranked 31st on the Ten Thousand Spirits List, is a kind of social spirit insect with a very violent personality. It is impossible to subdue it. If the cultivator subdues it by force, these spirit insects will explode. Fire Spirit Flying Ants have extremely fast escape speed and extremely strong devouring power. They are also immune to fire spells and magical powers. They like to devour fire ores and spirit medicines, and even some spirit fires. They usually act together, in large numbers, and are quite difficult to deal with.
Li Yi's figure was constantly retreating, and he hurriedly sacrificed the Five Elements Smoke Cover, covering the Fire Spirit Flying Ants in the air, but those red and black Fire Spirit Flying Ants were actually constantly swallowing the Five Elements Smoke on the Five Elements Smoke Cover.
Li Yi was shocked and hurriedly took back the Five Elements Smoke Cover. If the Five Elements Smoke on it was swallowed up in large quantities, its power would be greatly reduced.
Just as Li Yi retreated, those Fire Spirit Flying Ants seemed unwilling to give up, chasing Li Yi, as if they wanted to swallow Li Yi. Li Yi activated the Thunder Escape Technique, and there were thunder balls rolling on the wings behind him. Then, he flapped his wings behind him, and two five-color thunder balls flew out.
The two five-color thunder balls instantly flew into the ant colony of Fire Spirit Flying Ants, exploded, and blew a large number of Fire Spirit Flying Ants everywhere. Many weak Fire Spirit Flying Ants were directly killed by the five-color thunder balls, but for the huge ant colony, this was just a drop in the bucket.
But Li Yi's actions seemed to have angered these spirit insects, which became even more manic and kept rushing towards him.
Seeing this scene, Li Yi frowned. At this moment, the voice of the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit came from his mind, saying: "Don't you still have those silver beetles on your body? Take them out quickly and kill these flying ants, otherwise you will be in big trouble. These fire spirit flying ants should have smelled the breath of the purple flame crystal flying swords on your body, so they are so persistent in attacking you. The purple flame crystal is their best food. These fire spirit flying ants will give up. You have to be careful."
"I know, but these flying ants are obviously more mature than my spirit insects. My silver armored flying locusts should be just larvae. If they are taken out and swallowed by these fire spirit flying ants, then it will be more trouble than gain." Li Yi said in a deep voice.
In fact, he wanted to take out the spirit insects just now, but he had many concerns, mainly because he felt sorry for his spirit insects. Those spirit insects were his trump cards. If he lost all of them, he would be in trouble.
"You underestimated the silver-armored locusts. Although they are only larvae, there are many of them. Although there will be some losses, they are definitely capable of fighting. As long as you can kill these fire spirit flying ants, you will get unexpected benefits. Otherwise, you can only escape from here as soon as possible. The fire spirit flying ants will not stop until they devour the flying sword made of purple flame crystal and the black flame crystal furnace in your hand. Even if you want to find the seventh-grade spirit fire, you will have no chance. Think about it carefully."
Li Yi pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I can only try. These fire spirit flying ants are indeed troublesome."
After that, Li Yi took off several black bags on his waist and threw them into the air. Then, a large number of silver beetles appeared in the air.
After the silver beetle appeared, it saw the fire spirit flying ants flying in the distance. It didn't need Li Yi to drive it at all, and it rushed towards each other, just like two tribes with a blood feud, fighting each other when they met, which made Li Yi stunned.
Seeing Li Yi was a little surprised, the Soul Devouring Sword Spirit flew out at some point and said to Li Yi: "It's nothing. The fire spirit flying ants and the silver-armored flying locusts are both ancient fierce insects. These spirit insects are extremely fierce. As long as they meet in ancient times, they will definitely find a way to devour each other. Sometimes, these spirit insects will even devour their own kind."
Li Yi nodded and didn't say anything. The Soul Devouring Sword Spirit was right. When the silver-armored flying locusts reproduce, they will devour each other. After devouring some weak ones, only the strong ones will be left to reproduce. The competition among spirit insects seems to be countless times more cruel than the competition between monks.
At the moment when Li Yi was thinking, all the spirit insects in the sky had already fought together. A dark cloud of insects appeared in the sky. There was a lot of silver light in the cloud of insects. There were only about 70,000 spirit insects in Li Yi's hand, while there were more than 100,000 fire spirit flying ants in the sky. There were more fire spirit flying ants coming from behind, as if they were endless.
The insect corpses in the sky were constantly falling, some were silver-armored locusts, and some were fire spirit flying ants, but most of them were fire spirit flying ants.
Although the number of silver-armored locusts was not dominant, and they were not as mature as fire spirit flying ants, the shells of silver-armored locusts were very hard, and they were also very powerful in swallowing. In the battle with fire spirit flying ants, there was no trend of defeat.
Although the silver-armored locusts were extremely fierce, there were too many flying ants. Li Yi lost thousands of silver-armored locusts in this moment, which still made him feel distressed. However, when Li Yi saw that the silver-armored locusts that devoured the fire spirit flying ants became more fierce and excited, Li Yi felt much better. After the end of this spiritual insect war, these silver-armored locusts might be more mature.
Time passed little by little, and Li Yi watched nervously. He could not intervene in the spiritual insect war and could only wait for the end of the spiritual insect war.
Fortunately, the silver-armored locusts did not disappoint him. In the spiritual insect war, they slowly gained the upper hand. In this short moment, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 of the more than 100,000 fire spirit flying ants in the air, while Li Yi's silver-armored locusts still had about 40,000 to 50,000. Li Yi was still very distressed for only losing more than 20,000 spiritual insects.
With the advantage in numbers, the silver-armored flying locusts devoured faster. Finally, the fire spirit flying ants finally realized that they were no match for them. Although they were fierce, they were not fools. After realizing that they were no match for them, they quickly retreated, looking very embarrassed.
"Chase them, don't let them run away, and don't kill them all. Keep some fire spirit flying ants and keep up with them. Their good stuff is in the nest." The Soul Devouring Sword Spirit said excitedly, and his heart was also very happy.
"Got it."
Li Yi said very happily, driving the silver-armored flying locusts to chase in front, while slowly hanging behind.
