Fortunately, Jiang Rong dug a ditch, poured gasoline on it, and the burning gasoline formed a thick wall of flames.On the one hand, it prevented the mutated ants from escaping, and on the other hand, it did not allow the flames to spread.Today is dry and dry, if a spark flies into the woods on one side, it will definitely cause a wildfire.

After throwing away all the boxes, Jiang Rong gasped and stood outside the circle of fire.The scorching flames made half of his body hot, and the skin on his face was aching.But seeing the mutated ants burning in the fire circle, he felt extremely happy.

He took off his night vision goggles and looked directly at the struggling ants in the firelight.

The mutated ants are rich in oil, and under the combustion of gasoline, the ants' bellies exploded and made a "crackling" sound.When the fire was just ignited, there were swarms of ants trying to roll over the fire ring.However, it didn't take long for the ants to be defeated. Under the high temperature, many ants fell down and dangled their thin legs before dying.

The fire spread from all around to the middle, and the soaring flames carried sparks straight up.After the fire devoured all the ants, Jiang Rong, who had been busy for most of the night, swayed. He took two steps back and sat down on the ground.

Success, he single-handedly managed to kill a large group of mutated ants.This was something that he never dared to think about in his previous life, but he actually did it in this life.

Staring at the fire, Jiang Rong grinned, lowered his head to hide the water in his eyes.

The fire burned for several hours, during which Jiang Rong dared not leave.He sat on the steps under the jujube tree, with two bottles of energy drinks beside him.By the time the open fire was completely extinguished, the east had turned pale.

Yesterday's ant ball was now a pile of ash smoking white smoke, and the soil beneath the ash was charred black.At this point, Jiang Rong was finally able to stand up and examine the ashes carefully.

Although the flame has been extinguished, the residual temperature is still very high.Standing outside the ditch, Jiang Rong carefully used the engineering shovel to push away the upper layer of ashes.The ants were cremated so thoroughly that they couldn't see their previous appearance at all.

Under the ashes were the remains of burning bottles and flasks, which could easily hurt people if they were left in the soil. Jiang Rong carefully picked up these glass shards with tongs and put them in the dustpan he had prepared earlier.

The incinerated glass pieces are gray-black in color and hard in texture, and they can be easily picked out from the ash heap.Suddenly there was a flash of light in the ashes, Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment, and then carefully pushed the piece of ashes away with the engineer shovel.

A pink crystal the size of a soybean was shining brightly in the ashes. Jiang Rong carefully picked it up, and when he placed it in his palm, he could still feel it emitting warmth.

This is a crystal nucleus, which can be found in mutated animals and plants.The higher the level, the stronger the ability, the bigger the crystal nucleus, and the more power it contains.

This is not the first time he has seen the crystal nucleus. In his previous life, he followed the supernatural beings on missions, and his main job was to clean up the battlefield.Once he picked up a light blue crystal nucleus in the ruins, the crystal nucleus was as big as a thumb, and they said it was a secondary crystal nucleus.

As an ordinary person, of course he couldn't take that crystal nucleus for his own use, and later that crystal nucleus was taken away by the supernatural beings in the team.But the texture and shape of that crystal nucleus were deeply imprinted in his mind. He had never seen such a beautiful thing, more beautiful than any jewelry in the world.

I heard that the crystal nucleus has various colors, which represent the various abilities of the crystal nucleus owner.If a person with abilities wants to upgrade, he cannot do without the crystal nucleus.But how to use the crystal nucleus was not something he could find out at the time.

Jiang Rong pinched the small crystal nucleus and looked it over and over again. The small crystal nucleus was as bright as a pink gemstone. It was hard to imagine that it came out of the body of the mutated ant.Thinking of this, he had a question: Where is the crystal nucleus in his body?What color is it?

After carefully putting away the crystal nucleus, he carefully searched in the ashes.The hard work paid off, and he found several crystal nuclei in the ash heap.However, the later crystal nuclei were only as big as rice grains, and the color was also transparent, far less beautiful than the first one discovered.

After finding the crystal nucleus and disposing of the residue, Jiang Rong let out a long sigh of relief with the military shovel.The first test encountered after the big crisis has finally passed, and hope that will not encounter mutant ants again in the future.

The battle with the mutated ants made Jiang Rong slow down for two days, and it took two days for him to cover the trap in the ground.

The sun gradually rose, and the vegetation in the forest was sunburned.Jiang Rong sat in the cool study room, staring at the crystal nuclei he found from the ashes in a daze. In front of him was a large, seven small, and eight grain nuclei, and seven small grain nuclei the size of rice grains surrounded the pink nuclei in the middle.The color scheme is pretty nice, like a flower.

Although the crystal nuclei are arranged like a flower, if you look at it further, you can't see any patterns.Since they had been rumored in their previous lives that supernatural beings could use crystal nuclei to upgrade, he was going to give it a try.

The crystal nucleus is hard, and it is not realistic to smash it or swallow it directly.After thinking about it, Jiang Rong stretched out his finger to one of the smallest crystal nuclei.

He released a little wood-type supernatural power between his fingers, and the light blue supernatural power spread like a membrane to wrap the crystal nucleus.

After waiting for a while, the crystal nucleus still didn't change at all.Just when Jiang Rong wanted to take back his abilities, he suddenly remembered the scene where the humulus withered yesterday. His abilities could be retracted according to his will.Now he only thinks about wrapping the crystal nucleus with supernatural powers in his mind, and has no other thoughts.

With a thought, the cyan aura membrane changed, and it slowly tightened towards the crystal nucleus.The next moment, fine cracks appeared on the transparent crystal nucleus.A small force overflowed from the crystal nucleus and merged into Jiang Rong's ability.

Jiang Rong didn't know how to describe this feeling in words, he only knew that the power in this crystal nucleus had been sucked dry by it.

Sure enough, when he withdrew the ability, the originally round and smooth small crystal nuclei turned into off-white powder.

After realizing that this trick was feasible, he absorbed the remaining six small crystal nuclei in one go.Perhaps because the crystal nucleus was too small, Jiang Rong didn't feel that his abilities had improved much.

How about... absorbing the biggest one and trying?

Just doing what he said, Jiang Rong directly placed the crystal nucleus in the palm of his right hand.With the flow of wood-type supernatural powers, a powerful pink force diffused from the crystal nucleus.This force was not as obedient as the previous one. It entered Jiang Rong's body and went on a rampage. The pain made Jiang Rong's face pale and sweaty.

The ant's ability was extremely violent, the place where it flowed was like a burning insect bite, even if Jiang Rong could bear the pain, he curled up on the ground and couldn't move.

His body became a place for ants to play with their abilities, and every blood vessel and nerve was swept by pink power.Jiang Rong heard the sound of blood vessels bursting, and a large area of blood appeared under the skin where the pink ability walked.

If this continues, let alone absorbing abilities, he will be killed by the power in the crystal nucleus first.

He was too careless. He never expected that the power contained in a small crystal nucleus would be so great.It's too late to regret it now, he can only use his whole body's strength to chase and intercept the pink ability.

This was an extremely painful process. Jiang Rong felt that his whole body was about to be torn apart by the two forces when he had to endure the pain and precisely control his abilities.The severe pain made him clenched his teeth and curled up on the ground. When the pain was unbearable, he hummed a few words in a low voice.

Strange to say, when his own abilities circulated in his body, the pain caused by the pink ability was quickly dissipating.

After realizing this, Jiang Rong divided the wood ability into two halves, one half was used to contain the pink ability, and the other half was used to repair the damage caused by the pink ability to his body.

As time passed, the pink ability that lost its support gradually calmed down, slowly merging with the wood-type ability.Under the scouring and repairing of wood-type abilities over and over again, the severe pain in the body is slowly disappearing, replaced by indescribable lightness and comfort.

When the last bit of pink power in his body was completely obedient, Jiang Rong's whole body seemed to be fished out of the water.He lay on the floor with his eyes empty, as if he had died once.

I don't know how much time has passed, the door of the room was knocked lightly, and Jiang Xiaoheng's voice came from outside the door, "Dad, do you smell a bad smell?"

Jiang Rong slowly got up from the ground, "Smelly? No."

However, the moment he stood up, his complexion darkened, "I'll fuck it..."

His whole body was covered in black-gray grease, and every pore was seeping out with foul-smelling dirt.Dirt had soaked his shirt, and the hem of his shirt was dripping like ink.

The whole study room stinks, Jiang Rong's stomach churned and almost vomited.
