The night was dark and there was light snow drifting in the air. The weather made the miner's town seem even quieter and more solemn.
This town didn't have a protective formation. But because of the arrival of Ye Kong's army, a simple formation was set up. But this formation was too simple. It only had the function of defense and illumination. It couldn't defend against the poisonous snow.
In the air above the town, a group of immortal soldiers in golden armor and cloaks were on guard. In order to prevent underground attacks, all the patrolling immortal soldiers were standing on clouds and patrolling in the air.
Outside the city, there were also several high platforms built in the middle of the ground. This way, the soldiers on guard could stand on the platforms to prevent underground attacks.
In short, with this series of measures, Ye Kong felt that even if the assassin rode on the psychic earth mother, he wouldn't be able to pose a threat to his soldiers.
But that wasn't the case. Bao Xiaofei was a child who liked to use his brain.
"You guys are the most comfortable in this damn weather." The five patrolling immortal soldiers flew out of the town on clouds. At the end of their patrol route was a high platform outside the town.
Although it was only a little snow, some of the poisonous snow would get into the gaps of their cloaks and damage the immortal armor inside. The immortal soldiers on the high platform were much more at ease. They were fighting under a roof, so most of the poisonous snow was blocked.
Hearing his comrade's complaint, the soldier on the high platform smiled bitterly. "I envy you guys. After one round of patrol, you can go back to rest. We have to stand for at least one hour! Although we can't get wet now, when the night winds get stronger, more poisonous snow will be blown in! "
Hearing this, the five immortal generals were happy. The leader smiled and said, "That's true. You can continue with your work. We'll go back now."
However, just as the leading immortal soldier turned around, he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
At this moment, they were in a state of readiness for battle. His shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him. Everyone followed his gaze and saw that there seemed to be wisps of steam rising from the holes in the salt mountain behind the small town, where not even a blade of grass grew.
"What's going on?" The soldiers were all stunned. Then, someone immediately reported the situation to their superiors.
By the time Ye Kong found out, it was already an hour later. Because the fog was very small at first, and it was faintly discernible, the sentinel leader did not dare to report it blindly. It was only when the fog grew thicker and thicker, as if something was erupting outwards that the sentinel leader hurriedly reported.
When Ye Kong, Wu Guibao, and the rest walked out of the tent, they immediately saw the salt mountain spewing out mist.
Xiao Yong said, "Don't tell me there are still people mining in the salt mountains?"
A surrendered salt bandit general from the White Hair Region shook his head. "Impossible. We're making such a big commotion, even the people inside know. Why would they be mining at this time?"
Ye Kong pondered for a moment and said, "This is definitely not a normal phenomenon. Inform all the camps to prepare for battle." After he finished speaking, he rode the rainbow cloud and flew up. He said, "You guys come up with me to take a look."
Everyone flew into the air and hovered above the salt mountain. From here, they could see the blue fog constantly spewing out from the holes in the salt mountain. They could also smell a pungent smell.
There were a few salt bandits that lived in the White Hair Region with Ye Kong. They sniffed and said suspiciously, "This seems to be the smell of burning Dew Congealing Grass."
"Dew Congealing Grass?" Ye Kong and Wu Guibao were not familiar with this.
A salt bandit said, "Dew Congealing Grass is a very common immortal herb in the White Hair Region. It doesn't have any medicinal value, but it has a tenacious vitality. It can even grow on the salt crystals of the poisonous snow."
When Ye Kong and the rest heard this, they frowned. They didn't understand why there would suddenly be smoke burning this kind of useless grass in this cave. Wu Yong said, "Milord, why don't I go down and take a look?"
Wu Guibao stopped him. "No! It's night right now, and this mining cave is rugged. You're not familiar with the terrain. If an enemy deliberately burns the wild grass below to lure us to explore, then we'll be fooled! "
Wu Yong said, "It's fine. I'll be careful. You don't have to be too cautious."
At this time, another old salt bandit suddenly said, "Not good." Everyone looked at him and saw his eyes flashing with fear. He said, "This Dew Congealing Grass has a tenacious vitality, but it's useless. But it's food for something … "
Ye Kong was shocked and suddenly thought of something. He said in surprise, "Could it be …"
Another salt bandit beside him cried out, "Poison salt ants! That's right, poison salt ants! Poison salt ants love to eat this stuff. Moreover, after eating it, they become even more ferocious! They're not afraid of death! Now that the Dew Congealing Grass is being burned at the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid the poison salt ants will go crazy when they smell it. At that time, there will be an ant tide! "
"An ant tide!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Xiao Yong, Wu Guibao, and the others did not know how powerful an ant tide was. However, the salt bandits were natives of the White Hair Region. They knew how terrifying an ant tide was.
Ye Kong had experienced it himself. The poison salt ants were like a tide that covered the sky and the ground. Wherever they passed, not even a blade of grass would grow. The poison salt ants were so powerful that even an ordinary Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial would not dare to touch them!
Perhaps, to prove their guess was correct, a small black shadow suddenly emerged from the edge of the large hole. It could be seen that the black shadow had a round head with two short antennas sticking up from its head.
Soon after, the small figure crawled out of the hole.
Behind it, more and more were crawling out. Gradually, there were more and more of them. It was as if a dam had been breached and the tide was gushing out.
"An ant tide! All soldiers, abandon the tents and the town immediately. Rise three feet into the air and destroy the high platform! I'll say it again … "
The ant tide came very quickly. The poison salt ants that smelled the Dew Congealing Grass were even more ferocious than the ant tide that Ye Kong had experienced in the past. In just a blink of an eye, the appearance of the salt mountain that was reflecting a metallic luster changed. The entire mountain was pitch-black and covered in layers of black ants. These greedy fellows bit their ferocious mouthparts with all their might and surged down the salt mountain towards the small city. Like a tide, they turned the entire small city into a black ocean!
The millions of soldiers who had been ordered to rise into the air watched the scene unfold beneath their feet in horror!
