Chapter 412 Man-Eating Ants
At the High Court dinner, King George's rage made many nobles keenly aware of the strange atmosphere within the royal family. In this final, many faces disappeared quietly, and their tickets were casually sold to ordinary people who had no chance to enter. Many people saw such a wonderful scene for the first time. The surrounding noises became louder and louder with the fierce battle on the field, but Catherine could not concentrate on watching the game.
Even though the princess was well-informed and had seen all kinds of emergencies, the sudden appearance of a young elf in front of everyone in Goletia still caused her brain to freeze for a while.
Small exclamations were heard all around, and some people had followed the princess's gaze and saw the elf clinging to the railing like a falcon!
"Your Highness!" Leila finally took her eyes off Lilith and was startled by the stranger who appeared silently beside Catherine. She stepped forward and tried to stand in front of Catherine to separate them, but she saw the princess hurriedly taking off her cloak, shining it on the stranger's head, and dragging him away.
Leila was in a dilemma for a moment. She looked at the stadium and then at the passage where the princess left. She sighed in pain - what should she do! Which way should she look?
Lilith was unaware of the small disturbance outside the stadium. She was running desperately in the wind and sand.
The competition venue was still the same as before, but in the finals, the other teams were all strong players who had fought their way to the knockout stage, and their strength was different from before. The appearance of the competition venue had also changed a lot. The huge stone pillars that were scattered on the sand table like chess pieces were gone. The players lost their only safe spot. Once the sandworms attacked from the ground, they had no place to get a moment's respite and could only face the enemy. What's more, there were more enemies hidden in the sand.
"Swish—"
A rustling sound came from behind Lilith. She looked back while running and couldn't help cursing.
Perhaps the dwarves felt that the competition was not exciting enough, so they added a lot of "new seasoning" in the finals. Lilith and her team were lucky enough to encounter the void beast at the beginning of the game. Everyone's hearts became more and more stable in the fierce battles again and again. They were able to skillfully cooperate to gradually reduce the attack range of the void beast and reduce its speed. Finally, the magicians delivered a fatal blow.
Although it still cost a lot, in the end, watching the Void Beast slowly lose its vitality under the bombardment and finally dissipate into smoke, Lucas, covered in blood, excitedly raised his sword high, celebrating their lead with the rising fireworks, and then -
Then he was swallowed by a black shadow that suddenly rose up. After a flash of white light, he appeared at the medical station outside the stadium wailing, and Phoebe poured a sticky and cold medicine on his head.
"Ugh! What is that!" What was more unbearable than the pain was the taste of the potion. Lucas couldn't help but complain, but was caught by Teacher Phoebe.
"If you mean my potion, huh, you ignorant kid, this thing can neutralize the acid in your body. If you mean the thing that got you killed, that's the man-eating ants." Teacher Phoebe kindly explained.
"Oh, thank you Red Team for your hospitality! It seems that our new friends, the man-eating ants, are very satisfied with your feeding. Oh, look, there are more and more of them!" Instructor Hurst's voice came from above.
Lilith was horrified to find that the black shadows that suddenly gathered together were not a whole, but a wall of insects formed by countless insects stacked together! This discovery made Lilith shudder.
Bugs! Bugs everywhere! Or sand! Pah! The competition venue was against her.
"Man-eating ants have an amazing sense of smell, and they are extremely sensitive to blood. Once you bleed, it is an invitation to the man-eating ants to eat." Teacher Rebecca explained to the audience. The cool voice brought Lilith back to her senses, and everyone exchanged glances in an instant.
"boom--!"
A huge explosion of fire hit the insect wall, and instantly a familiar burnt aroma filled the air, which even smelled a bit good...
"It smells like barbecue..." Bobby muttered softly beside her.
Lilith swallowed the saliva that had just been secreted, and was embarrassed to say that she felt the same way.
The insect wall suddenly collapsed like a landslide, and a large piece of it fell down. However, before it hit the ground, the man-eating ants that had slid down and had been roasted had disappeared.
"Oh my god—" Lulu exclaimed, "They..."
They even eat their own kind... They even become more excited because of eating. The subtle sounds of countless mouthparts intertwining gather together, almost louder than the sound of wind and sand. The gap just now has been filled, and they are regrouping.
"How many of them are there!?" After several rounds of spells were cast, the insect wall was in turmoil but was always able to regroup. Jaina could not help but exclaim.
The swarm of insects seemed endless. Their team was like being stuck in a quagmire, confined to a corner of the field by these annoying insects. The other teams in the field were taking advantage of their trouble to score points like crazy.
"We can't go on like this." Lilith turned her head and looked at the magic fireworks rising in the field, with a burning light in her eyes. Those who entered the finals were all strong people who had fought through rounds of elimination matches. They couldn't waste time on these bugs, unless -
"Don't be impulsive, let me do it!" Ian seemed to realize what Lilith wanted to do and hurriedly approached her, but saw Lilith picked up the sword and slashed it across his palm.
The insect wall instantly began to fluctuate like a surface of water that was hit by rocks, and then began to change shape again.
"You guys continue to act according to the original plan!" After saying this, Lilith turned around and ran. Blood dripped onto the hot sand and condensed into small sand balls with the fine sand.
Before the others could react, they saw the bugs slowly gather into a huge sphere and roll in the direction of Lilith's escape. In the direction of Lilith—
It was another team that was fighting the Void Beast.
"Oh, bad girl, bad girl!"
Instructor Hurst let out a series of sighs, as if he had not expected that the Red Team, which always looked honest, would resort to the trick of diverting trouble.
"Thank you for the compliment." Teacher Rebecca looked at the girl running for her life in the sand, but couldn't help but curling up the corners of her lips. She finally had the chance to imitate Instructor Hurst's previous years and said it proudly.
“——This is my student.”
