It turned out that he actually wanted to use the barrier of this fire wall to make these monsters change their escape routes, so that the army of bullet ants chasing behind them could also avoid them.

This is indeed a good idea!

And it works.

No, the monsters that had broken free from the fleeing army were constantly running away from both sides.

The zombie swarm that was left behind by them and fell into a state of chaos was quickly overwhelmed by the torrent of bullet ants.

Even the humanoid monsters that were crowded among the zombies and had no time to escape were quickly surrounded by the bullet ants that rushed towards them.

No one had noticed before that these bullet ants, which are about a foot long and about the size of a fist, after tearing off the flesh and blood of their prey, immediately eject a large amount of green mucus from between their jaws to submerge their bones.

As soon as the green mucus came into contact with the bones, bursts of light blue smoke immediately emitted.

The corrosive nature of the mucus must have played a role. When the smoke cleared, they pounced forward again, easily crushing the bones and exposing the marrow inside.

The ants did not immediately eat the marrow inside, but left it to the large, winged soldier ants.

But once the prey captured is those monsters, after eating their flesh and blood, they no longer touch their silver-gray bones that exude metallic luster.

For a moment, everyone even thought that these bones were originally made of metal.

They carefully gathered these strange bones together and placed them neatly on the ground.

what 's wrong?

But soon, they seemed to have the answer.

It turned out that behind the army of bullet ants, there appeared a huge, fleshy-looking guy that was over one meter long.

Everyone noticed that it didn't move at all, but its speed was not slow.

It turned out that it was actually being carried by a group of bullet ants that were even stronger than those soldier ants.

Queen ant!

And around it, there was a group of majestic soldier ants.

Although their size is far smaller than that of the queen ant, they are still larger than other soldier ants.

And both the jaws and the pliers are extremely sharp.

As soon as they find bones with a metallic luster, they will immediately pounce forward and use their sharp jaws to quickly cut them open, exposing the dark marrow inside.

These monsters are indeed different...

Zhang Yang guessed that they should have been specially refined using evil energy.

It's just that compared to the monsters they encountered before, these monsters are not yet completely refined.

Apart from anything else, the speed of action alone is far inferior.

Those bone marrows are exposed to the air, and when the breeze blows over them, the sweet and sweet fragrance spreads.

Smelling this smell, Zhang Yang felt a chill in his heart.

He actually felt that the Jiuyang Qi in his body was about to move!

Not only that, the Nine Yang Inner Alchemy in the dantian seemed to be stimulated, and the golden flames surrounding it immediately burned brightly.

Zhang Yang quickly concentrated his energy and silently used the Nine Yang True Art to suppress this restless aura.

However, he soon discovered that Bill and others around him were in a daze.

In fact, Sam and Lucy's eyes were already dull, and they were approaching the direction of the scent with stiff steps.

In a short time, they had walked six or seven meters.

There are only two or three steps left before we reach the edge of the roof.

And this place was abruptly cut into half, and there was no obstruction at all. Once it stepped on the air and fell on the ruins composed of steel bars and water conservancy below, there was no possibility of survival!

Zhang Yang didn't think much, he ducked out of the way and grabbed the two of them tightly with one hand.

At the same time, two streams of Nine Yang True Qi were injected into their heart vessels.

The two of them were shocked, and their eyes that had been absent-minded regained their energy.

Realizing that they were only one step away from falling off the roof of the building, both the grandfather and grandson were shocked.

"Mr. Zhang, what happened?" Sam asked first.

"Yeah, how could we..." Lucy also asked.

"It's because of the aroma!" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.

"You mean that scent controls our minds?!" Sam asked in surprise.

Lucy also looked at Zhang Yang with a look of horror.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes, it is that strange fragrance that is causing trouble!"

"Then...what should we do?" Sam asked anxiously.

When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Bill and others behind Zhang Yang.

I found that they also looked absent-minded, and I couldn't help but become even more worried.

"It doesn't matter, they should still be able to handle it. Now we just need to wait." Zhang Yang said with determination.

wait--

Sam and Lucy obviously didn't understand what Zhang Yang meant.

But they knew in their hearts that in the face of such a situation, they couldn't do anything to help, so they simply didn't say anything more.

Among the remaining four people, although they were not easily and completely confused by this strange fragrance like Sam and Lucy, they also temporarily lost their minds.

Among them, Alice's situation is particularly bad.

Yang Ye's eyes were blank and he was mumbling to himself, not knowing what he was mumbling.

This is not surprising.

It goes without saying that Chu Chu was protected by the Gourd of Heaven and Earth, so the influence of this strange fragrance on her was actually very limited.

As for Bill and Alex, because they still have part of their original power remaining in their bodies, they can resist the influence of this strange fragrance to a large extent.

The reason why they temporarily fell into a state of unconsciousness is actually because their bodies were exposed to this toxin all at once and have not been able to fully adapt.

Sure enough, about a minute later, Bill's eyes regained some clarity for the first time.

The less powerful Alex followed closely behind.

Alice, on the other hand, is always in a state of absent-mindedness, and this situation is getting more and more serious.

"Zhang Yang, can you help Alice and help her regain her consciousness as soon as possible?" Chu Chu asked anxiously.

Zhang Yang shook his head: "I have to wait a while!"

wait……

Chu Chu glanced at Zhang Yang in surprise.

Why wait?

What is he waiting for?!

She originally wanted to ask a question, but when she saw Zhang Yang's confident eyes, she swallowed the words back.

Watching the piled up bones exuding golden luster were being cut and decomposed by the giant soldier ants guarding the queen, revealing the black marrow that exuded a strange fragrance.

Then, the giant creature surrounded by them was eaten like a noodle.

The whole process seemed orderly.

Everyone realizes that these mutated bullet ant colonies may be more terrifying than imagined!

"Zhang Yang, is there no other way?" Chu Chu leaned close to Zhang Yang's ear and lowered her voice and said, "I mean, is there any way to completely eliminate these guys?"

Zhang Yang shook his head with a wry smile, glanced at the endless army of bullet ants, and said helplessly: "There are too many of them. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wipe them all out with the strength of just a few of us."

"But……"

Chu Chu wanted to speak but stopped.

Of course Zhang Yang knew what he was worried about.

Although bullet ants are fast, they always stop to eat their prey before moving on, which invisibly slows them down.

Therefore, this pursuit is bound to last for a long time.

Once these monsters get close to the blockade and draw the bullet ant army outside, God knows what kind of disaster will happen.

"Mr. Zhang, how about Alex and I give it a try?" Bill said respectfully.

"Yes! Let's try it." Alex immediately requested.

"You can't touch the queen ant just yet." Zhang Yang waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Why?!" Chu Chu asked in confusion.

Before Zhang Yang could explain, Alice on the side had already spoken.
