Chapter 92: Ant Knight's Natural Enemy
Chapter 92: Ant Knight's Natural Enemy
Inside the library
With the defeat and death of Mushiken, another battle was forced to be stopped.
Ant Knight was almost unharmed at the moment, except for one of the slender tentacles on his head that was cut off by the lightning blade. He looked at the two enemies present with fear. These two guys were single-color knights like himself. If they continued fighting, he would be in danger of dying here.
After assessing the situation, Ant Knight stared at Rayman while stepping back, preparing to return to the outskirts of the library through the gate.
But Jiang He blocked his retreat with a gun.
"I admit defeat. You can do whatever you want with Otto. However, dozens of knights from the mainland and Prussia are fighting the Aphids in the mausoleum below. If you want to seize the secret treasure Silkworm Life, it seems unwise to fight with me here."
Ant Knight's eyes flickered. Right now, the fastest way to escape from danger was to take the spiral staircase into the mausoleum, which was much closer than the main gate. However, he had no idea of the specific situation below. He only knew that a great battle had broken out half an hour ago. The speed of the Prussian Falcon Sword was unparalleled in the world. If he went down rashly, he would probably be besieged by three people in front and behind, which would be even more dangerous than now.
Grey Knight Rayman shook his head and said, "We both have thousands of military merits. If we let you go, the camp will know that we are blocking this operation. Not only will our military merits be invalidated, but we will also be regarded as traitors. The high-level officials will lose two single-color knights, which is too much of a price to pay. You should think about Great Britain and sacrifice yourself here."
Ant Knight was almost laughing out of anger, "You two think you can easily defeat me, then come together."
After extinguishing his chance of luck, the monochrome knight showed a resolute attitude.
"I will need two minutes," the Grey Knight said.
"Sure." Jiang He replied.
Upon hearing this, the Ant Knight rushed towards the Grey Knight. His tall and strong body looked ferocious, and the black shell on his body was smooth and translucent, filled with a cold and hard metallic luster. It had a special defense against knife cuts and sword cuts. Even after being hit by dozens or hundreds of lightning blades, there was still no obvious damage, only a few white marks.
Jiang He raised his hand and fired a shot. The scarlet bullet burst out and hit the enemy's back, causing the Ant Knight to stagger. The extremely corrosive bullet created a blood hole the size of a fist, but the power was obviously far from that of a normal shot that shattered a body. The opponent's shell defense and body hardness were extraordinary.
Ant Knight rushed towards the Gray Knight desperately. Hearing the previous words, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. Knights can be generally divided into three levels: ordinary knights, elite knights, and single-color knights. The boundaries between them are not obvious, and multiple factors are enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
The most effective one is targeting natural enemies.
The second and third shots followed closely and hit the same location. The flesh and blood were rotten and the wriggling internal organs could be seen.
"Damn it!"
Ant Knight was forced to stop and turn around. If the opponent was aiming at his head, his tentacles were so sensitive that he could turn his head to dodge. But now that one of his tentacles was cut off, he could no longer maintain the physical perception he had in his prime, and was no longer as good as before.
The most important thing is that the Red Knight didn’t care about the life or death of his teammates, and his charge did not disrupt the opponent’s formation.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Ant Knight decided to grit his teeth and charge towards the spiral staircase leading to the mausoleum.
Jiang He stretched out his bloody wings and flapped them to arrive first.
A force hundreds of times his body weight surged with his fist. Ant Knight mobilized his extraordinary abilities and punched with all his strength.
Jiang He summoned the initial form of the energy armor and fired a shot, with iron light flying.
The fist and the gun intersected, and the purest force collided. White air waves created ripples on the surface, sand and stones flew all around, and the floor was cracked like a net.
The huge noise made the Grey Knight look up.
Jiang He flew backwards for dozens of meters, his armor was about to break, blood was constantly oozing from his knuckles, the strength of the ant was almost equal to the strength of the Long Sorrow Spear, but his own physique and strength were not enough to support himself on the spot. Strictly speaking, he was an assassin-type hunter specializing in agility. The real monochrome knights were all peak humans in the Bronze Age, and their four main attributes had broken through 11 across the board.
Ignoring his fist that seemed to be about to break, Ant Knight ran towards the spiral staircase like a bull. At this moment, a very slight jingle sounded.
A black gem fell to the ground, immediately causing an explosion, and the violent shock wave blew Ant Knight away.
Jiang He took out the Whale Song revolver and fired six shots in a row, the knockback effect acting on the enemy, knocking it further away.
Ant Knight's figure was embedded in the wall between the first and second floors of the library.
The Grey Knight completed his preparations, and in his hand appeared a strange-looking pistol, with an oval-shaped air bag on the barrel.
As the trigger was pulled, a long tongue flew out from the muzzle of the airbag pistol and hit the Ant Knight accurately.
The force was almost non-existent, but the black shell was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, melting at an astonishing speed.
The colorless crystals on the surface of the tongue seemed to be an unprecedentedly poisonous poison, causing billowing white smoke to emerge from the enemy's wounds.
The pistol was firing very quickly, and the tongue kept moving back and forth, leaving an afterimage.
Wuhe whispered, "The secret treasure of the anteater and the borax refined by alchemy. The latter has the technique of the alchemist in Amiens. He has been prepared to fight the Ant Knight for a long time, including the previous attack on the training camp. He may have used military merit to get your help just now. This guy is very scheming. If he is a violator, he must have made special preparations to target you."
Jiang He glanced at his passive skills and said, "Since the Anteater Secret Treasure has a special attack against Ant Knight, I am also prepared to wait for Rayman."
A scream was heard in the library. The restrained Ant Knight tried desperately to escape from the indentation in the wall, but the long tongue covered with alchemical borax pierced through his body. The bloody hole caused by the bullet became a fatal flaw. The Ant Knight's internal organs were ruthlessly ravaged by the long tongue, and his head tilted as if he had lost his life.
In the Gray Knight's hand, the airbag pistol was overloaded and the alchemical borax spontaneously ignited without wind. He seemed to have anticipated this and simply let go, allowing the anteater's secret treasure to fall to the ground and collapse.
Suddenly, Ant Knight's head turned back, his tall body trembled wildly, his eyes were dim, but he showed a terrifying and violent aura.
The Grey Knight frowned, "He's dead."
Wuhe's eyes suddenly turned dark, staring at the enemy and saying, "Name: Mutant Ophiocordyceps sinensis, it comes from a fungus in nature that can parasitize ants. It uses enzymes to dissolve the exoskeleton, then reproduces rapidly, and eventually controls the behavior of the ants. This is the method left by the Ant Knight to avenge the murderer after his death."
As soon as he finished speaking, gray mutant bacteria gushed out of Ant Knight's cavity. When it dripped onto the ground, it showed horrible corrosiveness and was rapidly increasing in value.
Just as the Grey Knight and Jiang He were about to take action, the Porcupine, who had been staying in the corner with no sense of existence, walked up to them without even looking at them.
From the very beginning, Porcupine showed great respect for the Grey Knight. This respect was based on the glory and sacrifice of the Monochrome Knight in defending the Empire. As the two revealed their "ugly" nature, Porcupine fell into complete disappointment and silence. After his ideals collapsed, he even ignored the previous battles. After all, he also respected the Ant Knight of Great Britain, but he was also a teammate of the two.
"I really regret carrying out this mission. This damn war should end as soon as possible."
The porcupine punched Ant Knight back into the depression in the wall. He was corroded by the alien bacteria, but all of his porcupine quills also pierced into Ant Knight's body. The surface of the quills secreted water, and the alien bacteria that were originally proliferating rapidly were contaminated by this special fat liquid and gradually lost their vitality.
In order to prevent themselves from being pricked and infected, some porcupines in nature have evolved special adaptability. The surface of porcupine quills is covered with a layer of oily substances, the free fatty acids in which can kill some fungi and play a "disinfection" role.
The Ant Knight, who had already become a corpse, smelled the scent of its prey, and claws emerged from its cheeks, clamping the porcupine's neck. The latter did not dodge, but turned his head to look at the two of them in disgust before dying.
