Chapter 46 The Magical Use of Sarcasm
Judging from the monster illustrations included in the astrolabe, the giant ant lion lives up to its name and is an enlarged version of the real-world "ant lion" insect (antfly larvae).
This monster is visually estimated to be three meters long and two meters wide. It looks like a giant beetle with a flat belly. It has yellow cilia covered with sand on its surface, forming a natural camouflage. It lies motionless in the depths of the pit. If it were not for the help of an astrolabe, it would It's hard to distinguish it from its surroundings.
The most visually striking organ on the giant antlion is the pair of huge pincer-like upper jaws extending from the top of its head!
There are sharp serrations on the inside of the upper jaw, which can be used as a tool for digging sand and creating pits, or as a weapon, which can easily cut off an adult's thigh.
This giant insect always pursues the principle of waiting for prey. Only when the prey mistakenly steps into a pit and is bound by quicksand, they will move on the wind, drag the prey into the bottom of the pit, strangle it, have a delicious meal, or use the dry sand to dry the prey carcass. , reserved as food reserves.
Unless absolutely necessary, the giant ant lion will never leave the pit where it lives, which poses a problem for the rescue team:
If you want to destroy the giant ant lion, you must actively enter the pit and lure the monster out to fight.
However, once you step into the pit, you will be trapped by the quicksand. Let alone hunting the giant ant lion, you may not even be able to protect yourself.
Is there a way to make people move freely in quicksand as if they were walking on flat ground?
Many ideas flashed through Gao Fei's mind, but unfortunately they were all unrealistic.
"Gao Fei, I suddenly realized something, we have been fooled!"
Jiang Feng sent a private message through the horoscope, his tone unable to conceal his anger.
"The thing is obvious. To deal with monsters like giant ant lions that are good at sneaking and preying in quicksand, we must rely on sandworms with the same ability to burrow in the sand!"
"In other words, after General Rodriguez received the distress letter, he should have sent the Sandworm Cavalry Regiment to support him. However, the old fox did not do that and asked us to ride camels to rescue people - this is not a clear trap. Human!"
"You think this is the leader deliberately giving you problems, but from the perspective of the leader, this is training you, little comrade!" Gao Fei smiled and took pleasure in the hardship, "I'll give you a chance, if you don't succeed, Don’t blame your boss for not promoting you in the future.”
"Bah! This kind of leader is the most annoying!" Jiang Feng said angrily.
Complaints are complaints. You can't just retreat to Iron Fist Castle in such a dejected manner. There are no conditions, and difficulties must be solved by creating conditions.
Gao Fei thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"My Berserker has the 'taunt' skill. With this skill, I can pull the giant ant lions out of the quicksand pit, forcing them to chase me and bite me. Once on solid ground, this monster is no longer scary. Brothers swarmed up. , just hack him to death!"
"Well... you can try it, but I'm worried that taunting won't work on the giant ant lion." Jiang Feng asked Gao Fei, "Isn't this skill of taunting the 'scold formation' and 'provoking method' often mentioned in storytelling? Maybe it works, but for big bugs like giant ant lions, even if you call them ancestors, they won't understand. Can you really anger them?"
"Taunting is a supernatural ability similar to magic. You cannot apply the rationality in reality in a fantasy world. To say the least, any creature with a certain level of intelligence can be irritated by hostile body language, such as you Bare your teeth at a big wolf dog and see if it bites you!"
Gao Fei smiled and then said to her: "In several previous adventures, I successfully taunted the ferocious hyena and winter wolf. The giant ant lion is a magical beast after all, and its intelligence attributes are similar to those of a wolf dog. Taunting should be effective on them. of."
Jiang Feng accepted his point of view, but was still a little worried.
"What's the maximum distance for taunting?"
"About ten meters."
"The quicksand pit created by the giant ant lion has a radius of 10 meters. This means that you must stand on the edge of the pit to activate the taunt. If you are not careful, you will slip into the quicksand. This is too dangerous."
Jiang Feng bit his lip and thought for a while, then said to him: "Before you go to pull the monster, remember to tie a strong rope around your waist, and tie the other end of the rope to the camel. In case you fall in the sand pit, I will whip the camel and drag you out of the pit as quickly as possible."
"This is a good idea, just do as you say!"
Basaka carried a cable with him, tightly wrapped around his waist, and the other end was attached to the strongest camel in the army.
After being prepared, Gao Fei raised his battle ax and, under the nervous gaze of Jiang Feng and others, walked lightly towards the camp.
Not far away, Gao Fei noticed that the sand under his feet showed a slight color difference. This was caused by the different refractive index of quicksand and hard sand under the light.
Gao Fei used his tomahawk to explore the path and poked the ground in front of him. It was indeed very soft.
He took two steps back, picked up a stone on the spot, rounded his arms, and threw it into the quicksand pit.
Bang!
The stone landed in the middle of the quicksand, creating a large crater, and the stirred up sand and dust slowly dispersed in the air.
The giant ant lion lurking at the bottom of the pit is born with a high degree of myopia. It mainly relies on the cilia on its surface to sense the tremors coming from the surroundings, and then determine the location of its prey.
The stone thrown by Gao Fei successfully aroused the giant ant lion's alert, and it quickly crawled out, with its upper body exposed on the sand, waving its pincer-like jaws, eager to try.
When he got closer and took a closer look, he found that the thing causing the shock was just a stone, and he was so angry that he screamed weirdly.
Gao Fei seized the opportunity to launch a "taunt", imitating the giant ant lion's squeak. He didn't know what it meant, but as long as he could anger the other party, it would be fine.
The giant ant lion's willpower attribute was not high, and it was easily angered by Gao Fei. Its six long legs quickly paddled in the quicksand, and it raised its big jaw to charge at the guy who provoked it.
Gao Fei stepped back a few steps and continued to provoke the giant ant lion.
The giant ant lion climbed to the edge of the pit and stopped. It instinctively realized that leaving the pit would put itself in a disadvantageous position. However, after a little hesitation, it finally couldn't hold back its anger and chased out regardless of everything.
Gao Fei retreated and stopped until he lured the giant ant lion to a place far away from the quicksand pit. He smiled grimly and raised his battle axe. He rushed forward and chopped the giant insect's head with an axe. The chitinous carapace shattered on the spot, and blood and lymph splashed out.
Jiang Feng and her group of soldiers were not idle either. They drew their weapons and attacked the giant ant lion. After a fierce fight, they killed the giant ant lion in a blink of an eye.
Gao Fei's confidence was greatly increased after the initial victory.
Then he followed the same method and taunted the monster.
He successfully pulled the second giant ant lion out of the pit, but this guy was more alert than the previous one. He stopped after leaving the pit for a distance, hesitating, as if he wanted to turn around and retreat back to the quicksand.
Gao Fei didn't want to watch the cooked duck fly away, so he rushed forward and stomped his feet, launching an "earthquake attack"!
With a bang, the ground shook and sand flew!
The giant ant lion was caught off guard and bounced more than two meters high by the shock wave from the surface, and then fell to the sand, with his six legs up in the air.
