Chapter 275: Initial Investigation of the Truth

Tonino Harvey turned around with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Hey? Second brother, how did you do it? Do you know the weakness of the fire ant?!"

Chi Yao was modest and threw the "credit" to the other party.

"Thanks to my elder brother. If it weren't for my elder brother who solved the fire ant so neatly just now, I wouldn't have thought of this."

"Brother, your sonic attack just now, or more precisely, the sonic vibration, is the weakness of the fire ant."

Tonino Harvey was a little skeptical whether it was really as simple as Chi Yao said, but the two fire ants lying on the ground in front of him seemed to have explained everything.

"Is this true? It's that simple?"

Chi Yao pointed to the fire ant in front of him, which looked in good condition and had half stood up.

"If you don't believe it, you can try to release the sonic impact just now on this fire ant. I just tried it with mud, and it can't be completely simulated. The effect is not as good as you."

Can't completely simulate the vibration?

Chi Yao was telling the truth, but only "partially". Chi Yao's control over the earth element was not as proficient as that of the wind element, and it was not difficult to make the earth element resonate or the wind element resonate. The effect was indeed the same if the earth element resonated alone, but if Chi Yao chose to make the air vibrate with the wind element, the result would be obvious.

Chi Yao chose to keep a hand, so he would not expose his other abilities.

Watching the fire ant trembling and half-standing up, Tonino Harvey immediately stretched out his hand and sent out a sonic shock, paralyzing it directly to the ground.

And this successful experiment made Tonino Harvey completely believe what Chi Yao said.

"Ha, I didn't expect that the weakness of this fire ant was actually sonic vibration."

As he spoke, Tonino Harvey's face became complicated. Obviously, he also realized why his father had given the fire ant to him to deal with.

"So, father knew that the weakness of the fire ants was sonic vibration?"

Chi Yao nodded and looked at Johns and his men who had just arrived behind him. Because Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey discovered and used the weakness of the fire ants, they solved it very quickly. Johns and his men arrived at the scene not long after the battle ended.

Chi Yao approached a fire ant and observed it carefully.

The dim red color seemed to be the "dark state" mentioned in the detection data, symbolizing that the other party had entered the end of its life.

This also explains to a certain extent why these two fire ants were left alone here, because they were old, weak, sick and disabled people who were sent out. They were "abandoned", which followed the law of survival of the fittest.

'But aren't these fire ants creatures? Their biological nature is so prominent? And there is this habit. '

Thinking, Chi Yao checked the body structure of the fire ants. There are many explanations about magical creatures in the spell books and magic pattern knowledge. Although they don't match the fire ants in front of him, it is enough for Chi Yao to make a judgment.

The first thing Chi Yao looked at was the head and chest of the fire ant. The crystal core of magic creatures is usually located here. The crystal core is a crystal of concentrated energy in the body and is a good magic material.

The fire ant in front of him should be no exception. Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and observed carefully. Finally, he found something unusual on the side of the fire ant's head.

It was a pattern formed by the overlapping protrusions of the carapace. Its shape and arrangement were very exquisite. It was similar to the magic pattern but different in reality. It was a kind of similarity.

The moment he saw this pattern, Chi Yao immediately realized something.

'It is very similar to the magic pattern. So, what I saw on the forehead of the rock lizard before was not an illusion! '

'The biological evolution caused by the round sun stone and the artificial creatures such as the fire ant have made things complicated. '

Tonino Harvey, who was standing aside, looked at Chi Yao who was lost in thought for a long time without responding, and couldn't help asking.

"Brother, did you find anything?"

Chi Yao came back to his senses and smiled helplessly at Tonino Harvey.

"I didn't find anything special. I was just curious whether the shell of the fire ant was the key to its ability."

"Also, I tried to find traces of the round sun stone on the fire ant."

"You still remember that those creatures that have undergone mutation and evolution have round sun stones integrated into their bodies. If the fire ants are also like this, then the two are related."

Tonino Harvey nodded, agreeing with Chi Yao's statement.

"Well, you are right, but from the appearance, there are no traces of round sun stones on these two fire ants?"

"Also, the colors of these two fire ants seem to be wrong. The fire ants in the information I saw before are brighter in color."

Chi Yao touched his chin, pretended to be thinking, and gave his own guess.

"As for the color, I guess the color may represent the state of the fire ant. The darker the color, the worse the state of the fire ant, or the older it is."

Tonino Harvey was a little confused.

"Do you mean that the color also represents the age of the fire ant?"

Chi Yao couldn't say that he got the information from the panel data, so he could only force an explanation.

"It's just a guess. Think about it, isn't the round sun stone a mineral that emits sunlight? If the fire ants feed on the round sun stone, then it is also related to the sun to some extent."

"Isn't the color of the sunset just that kind of dim yellow? In other words, it means that the fire ants have entered their old age and the sun is setting in the west."

After listening to Chi Yao's explanation, Tonino Harvey was about to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with your statement?"

"Forget it, let's just assume that what you said is right. Let's go directly to the fire ants' nest to have a look?"

Chi Yao waved his hand, looked at Babbitt who was standing blankly on the other side and said.

"Wait a minute, I want to dissect this fire ant and see what's going on inside its body. Babbitt, come here and help me."

When Babbitt heard Chi Yao mentioning himself, he asked with a black face

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, didn't you say you wanted to capture one alive before? Are you sure you want to kill one now?"

Chi Yao smiled kindly at Babbitt.

"That was before, but the situation is different now. We already know how to deal with fire ants. And even if I kill one, isn't there another one?"

Babbitt looked at Chi Yao's face and didn't dare to say anything. He just sighed quietly and helped Chi Yao start dissecting the fire ants.

Click!

The carapace of fire ants is very hard. Even if Babbitt used all his strength, the knife he held could only leave a white spot, and the blade even broke due to excessive force.

call out! Snapped!

The broken blade flew out and was firmly caught by a steady right hand before it could hurt Babbitt. It was Chi Yaoyan who caught the broken blade with his quick hands.

Chi Yao frowned and looked at Babbitt, then sighed and said.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Babbitt walked aside in relief. Captain Johns comforted him with a few words, and the expression on his face softened a lot.

After letting Babbitt go away, Chi Yao reached into his backpack and took out a special knife.

But this was not enough. Chi Yao held the knife tightly, and the mana in his body flowed, turning into a faint golden light that attached to the knife. This was a combination of golden light spell and destined energy, which added a stable and sharp effect to it.

Crack!

With a soft sound, Chi Yao broke open the fire ant's hard carapace and began the dissection work.

Half an hour later, Chi Yao found a round sunstone in the middle part of the fire ant's body. It seemed that the round sunstone was the crystal core of the fire red ant.

Tonino Harvey showed a look of understanding.

"Sure enough, these fire ants also changed because of the round sun stone!"

Chi Yao disagreed with the conclusion Tonino Harvey came to.

The people present could not tell it, but Chi Yao, who had studied magic patterns and a lot of magic knowledge, had completely understood after actual dissection that the fire ant in front of him was an artificial creature similar to an alchemical creature.

Moreover, the production technology of fire red ants has a lot to do with the magic pattern. The fire ability of the fire red ants is given by this system similar to the magic pattern and the fire energy - round sun stone. It is no wonder that in the information given by the paradise, the fire red ant is The official name of Ant is "Fire Pattern Creation·Ant Form".

As for the purpose of making fire ants? This kind of ant-shaped creature is extremely good at digging and mining, and there are many of them. It is similar to the mining robots in alchemy!

Second update.

Two chapters are almost 4800, nearly 5000, a little late, sorry.

I will work hard, work hard to maintain perfect attendance, and fulfill my previous promises.
