C866 To Feed on Magic
All of the Iron Man s had turned off the Energy Converter and the Magic Release Machine in their bodies. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the current Iron Man was like a rock or a huge tree.
As for the ultra long-distance monitor, it was obviously working. The Energy Converter among them was still releasing its energy, using the supply monitor to record the images and the Magic Fluctuation s.
Could it be that this black beetle can only sense the release of energy? Or perhaps, these black beetles were only interested in objects with the ability to release energy?
After coming to this conclusion, she suppressed the order that was about to reach her mouth. To Aana, although this kind of black beetle was very special, the Aircraft Carrier Formation needed to ambush Napoleon was evidently the most important matter. If all the Iron Man were to ascend into the sky at this moment, they would undoubtedly expose themselves, and the effect of burying would be greatly reduced.
After a while, the remote monitor had been cleaned up. At this time, the Spearhead of the enormous swarm of beetles had already passed this high ground, and they continued to quickly crawl towards the plains under the cliff.
However, there were still quite a few small beetles that were crawling on the surface of the bodies of the numerous Iron Man Warriors.
Looking at these small beetles, who were like ants in a hot pan, darting back and forth on the surface of Iron Man's body, Aayana was once again shocked. She immediately realised that the Iron Man's army had just extinguished their fires, and there was still the same remaining temperature in their bodies.
Once these small beetles found out that there was an energy source inside the Iron Man, they would immediately bite it. If he were to activate Iron Man at this time, the small beetles on the surface of his body would eat them immediately and cause irreversible damage to Iron Man.
Ajana's eyes widened as she stared at the screen. But after a long while, these small beetles only crawled back and forth on the surface of the Iron Man, and in the end, did not eat anything.
At this moment, Aana raised her brows again. She suddenly saw that the outline of the Aircraft Carrier Formation had gradually appeared on the eastern plains in front of them.
Ajana stared, gritting her teeth, a look of hatred on her face. Without question, if the Iron Man's army were to launch an ambush, the result would be the best. However, due to the existence of these beetles, Aana did not dare to wake up the Iron Man, because there were still quite a few beetles that were still crawling on the surface of the Iron Man's body.
After another quarter of an hour, all of Aircraft Carrier Formation's troops slowly entered the Eastern Plains, and followed the main road under the cliff as they headed towards the south. At the same time, the deep growl of the Ground-effect Flying Aircraft Carrier could be heard.
Although they were still far away, the little black beetles could already smell the scent of food.
In front of the big screen, Ajana continued to stare. The small beetles that were initially crawling on the surface of the Iron Man Warriors' bodies suddenly stopped moving in an instant. All of them looked up and waved their hands in the air, as if they were trying to sense something.
After a short period of silence, all the small beetles seemed to have been commanded by a single person as they quickly climbed towards the western cliff.
From Aana's point of view, it was like a black tide that quickly faded away from the high ground where the Iron Man's army was at. It then flowed down along the cliff face, and poured down like a waterfall.
Even when all the small beetles crawled away from the Iron Man warrior's body, Aana still hadn't given any orders for the Iron Man to activate her. However, as the little black beetles crawled towards the direction, the expression on Aana's face became more and more interesting.
Clearly, he didn't need to fight this ambush himself. Ground-effect Flying Aircraft Carrier would encounter an even more terrifying attack.
Aana used the ultra-long-range reflector to shift and zoom in on the small black beetle that was at the front of the line.
At this time, the small beetles seemed to be able to smell the increasingly intense energy coming from the Ground-effect Flying Aircraft Carrier's body. The small beetles were extremely excited, and their six long legs moved even faster, to the point that in the end, they could actually reach the speed of a Devil Beast.
Ajana's eyes widened, as if a dam had been opened. Although her momentum was not that great, her speed was extremely fast. It was hard to imagine that such a small beetle could run so fast.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the black tide had already approached the Spearhead. At this moment, the surveillance system above the aircraft carrier also noticed something strange.
A sharp magic tower stretched out from the surface of the aircraft carrier. It slightly adjusted the angle of the shot, and with a "hong" sound, a small fireball was shot out.
To the West Continent soldiers inside the aircraft carrier, this object that was monitored like a tide was obviously treated as a normal Devil Beast insect. And these insects were migrating on a large scale, so naturally, their orbits would cross with their Aircraft Carrier Formation. Although he was not clear about the abilities of the Devil Beast, but according to the convention, all of the mana fluctuations detected by the aircraft carrier would be in the range of elimination.
Immediately after, not only the soldiers in the Aircraft Carrier Formation, even Sandy Ayana who was in front of the big screen couldn't help but be dumbstruck.
The small fireball was flung several hundred meters into the air, and just as it was about to land on the surface of the small beetle's body, which was like a tidal wave, the small fireball suddenly flapped and was extinguished.
Everything seemed to be silent, and there was no trace of Little Flame anymore. The tide of beetles continued to move forward at high speeds.
Aana glared at him and immediately used her magic power to reconstruct the scene she had just witnessed. The speed of deduction was slowed down tenfold.
One after another, fixed images appeared in Ajarna's mind.
When the small fireball was about to hit the ground, many small beetles suddenly jumped up and jumped to the surface of the fireball. Thousands of small beetles covered the entire fireball and started to devour it.
In less than half a breath's time, the thousands of small beetles had completely devoured the small fireballs, which were only inches away from the ground. Before the fireballs even landed on the ground, they had already disappeared without a trace.0
The black beetles that were willing to finish eating the fireballs fell back to the ground, joining the army and continued to advance towards the aircraft carrier.
It was fortunate that she did not activate it just now. Otherwise, with this kind of beetle's strength, it wouldn't take long before she completely devoured a Iron Man.
At this time, to the soldiers inside the Ground-effect Flying Aircraft Carrier, they had actually shot a Mute Bomb. Soldiers were to be judged from all angles, and it was unknown why the magical attack had become a dud. Logically speaking, all magical effects shouldn't have any effect.
After a brief moment of hesitation, the group of soldiers responsible for defending the surrounding environment decided to launch another magic attack.
This time, it was an electric spell instead.
After a series of crunching sounds, a strong current shot out from the surface of the aircraft carrier, hitting the incoming tide.
This time, the soldier in the aircraft carrier stared. The electric current did not disappear instantly, but he saw something extremely strange.
In an extremely short amount of time, a mound of earth suddenly rose from the tide formed by the Devil Beast insects. The mound then quickly extended forward, forming a long, slightly curved object in the air. The object looked like a tree branch that had fallen to the ground. However, the tip of the branch pointed towards the electric current.
The front end of the electric current accurately hit the front end of the branch. It was as if both sides were trying to connect at the same time. In an instant, the electric current caved in.
Immediately afterwards, however, the soldiers noticed that the long branch was suffused with dense arcs of electricity.
The soldiers' mouths were half open, and they didn't know what was going on.
In front of the big screen, Aana was even more shocked. Without a doubt, the actions of these little beetles were actually summoning electricity.
What is electrical conduction? It is to form oneself into a form suitable for the current passing through, thus directing the current emitted by the other party to a deeper and more distant place. Even though the branch formed by these beetles was only five to six meters away, it was enough to draw in all the energy within the electric current.
At the same time, Ajana also realized that these little beetles were not willing to let this electric current dissipate even the slightest bit of energy. It was obvious that they were very greedy and actually knew how to use this method to draw electricity, ensuring that this electric current did not waste any energy on the outside.
These little beetles were actually using magic and the energy sources that they used to cast spells as food.
Any object that could emit magic would attract these small beetles. These beetles possessed a formidable strength; not only could they be immune to magic, but they could also directly devour it.
Thinking of this, a very bad thought appeared in Ajana's mind. Yes, very bad.
In the long history of the continent, there seemed to have been a few Devil Beast that had specialised in magic that fed on magic, but those Devil Beast had already been proven, and did not belong to the Tiangong Continent.
Magic immunity itself was not rare, and in terms of Tiangong Continent, there were a lot of Devil Beast s who were born with magic immunity. But using magic as food, this kind of ability was definitely not something that the Devil Beast possessed.
Foreigners were usually the most unpopular, and would definitely arouse the opposition of all races on the continent. As for the knowledgeable and knowledgeable Ajana, she vaguely remembered that the Great War of Gods and Demons a thousand years ago seemed to be related to outsiders.
There was even a prophet who left behind a prophecy in the book saying that if an outsider appeared, there would be a war that would affect the entire continent.
Slowly letting out a breath, Ajana shook her head again, focusing her attention back on the big screen.
At this time, after the fireballs and electric currents had failed one after another, the soldiers in the aircraft carrier did not continue releasing new magic. Everyone had a strange feeling in their hearts. No one had ever encountered such a situation before.
Looking at the rapidly approaching small beetles and the aircraft carrier's soldiers, there was no sense of fear, only curiosity.
