3.83 Going deep into the ant nest
Thank you for Yingkong's monthly ticket
Wu Chen sighed subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, when this breath came out, a long echo was heard.
No, it's not an echo. It's... someone is playing a prank!
"Who is it?" Wu Chen blurted out and asked in a low voice, which was also magnified extremely like a tweeter.
The demigod brain waves that had been loose quickly condensed, and he finally knew who was the one who was playing the prank.
I thought it would be a god or a ghost, but I didn't expect that someone had discovered him long ago. He buried his spiritual tentacles in Wu Chen's brain waves.
That's right, this powerful spiritual powerhouse is the master of the Gold-Devouring Ant Queen.
Wu Chen tried to greet him.
result……
‘Hello, human.’
The information is extremely clear.
Compared to the information blocks that giant lizards can understand, the delicateness of the information sent back by the queen is enough to be comparable to that of humans! And it is even more than that!
This concise message is not language, but a stronger spiritual communication.
‘Hello, Queen Ant.’ In addition to being shocked, Wu Chen did not rude.
‘You broke into my territory for these eggs?’ The queen of the ant was indeed powerful.
‘Yes, Queen Ant. There are a few giant lizard eggs here, I want to get them back.’ In front of the strong, naked sincerity is the only capital.
‘Are they those giant domes?’
‘Yes, there are five.’ Wu Chen replied hurriedly.
‘They are your children?’
‘What?’ Wu Chen had some jumpers.
‘I said, is your child inside the egg?’
‘No, Queen Ant. We didn’t grow out of the egg…’ Wu Chen could only explain this.
‘What does these eggs have to do with you?’
‘How to say, these eggs’ mother is my…friend.’ Wu Chen tried not to make things complicated.
‘What are friends?’
‘It is a blood-related person who is willing to do something within his ability without paying attention to his reward.’
‘Not paying, just as you can…’ repeated Wu Chen’s message. The queen of the ant suddenly replied: ‘Would you like to be friends with me?’
‘…’ Wu Chen felt like he was being brought into the pit. So he asked directly: ‘What do you need me to do?’
‘That’s it. On the edge of my territory, a group of strange invaders appeared. They not only competed for the territory with me, but even destroyed my cave. The worker ants I sent to investigate did not send any news, so I want you to see what was wrong.’ The queen of the ant really asked for something.
Wu Chen keenly felt that this was a very difficult problem.
‘What kind of ‘group of invaders’?’ Wu Chen needs to know the details and judge whether the deal is cost-effective.
‘Biota similar to us.’ Queen’s answer was very vague. Obviously she didn’t know the specific situation either.
‘Can you also swallow metal?’ Wu Chen would not miss any details.
‘Yes. Their desire for metal is very greedy and will even devour our passages.’ The spiritual fluctuations coming from the queen of the ant are filled with undisguised hatred. Obviously, these mysterious opponents have caused the gold-eating ants to suffer heavy losses.
However, Wu Chen felt that this was a balance mechanism of nature.
In order to limit the unbridled expansion of the nest by the gold-eating ants, a creature that specifically restrains them came into being. Although this confrontation made the queen very disgusted, it greatly delayed the expansion of the ant hole. This may not be a good thing.
Especially for the current earth.
‘Where are they?’ Wu Chen decided to continue the mission.
‘It’s a bit far away from here. I have to travel through a mouse territory.’ The queen of the ant told Wu Chen about the approximate location. The queen of the ant could not go there in person. It was obviously all the information sent back by her subordinates.
‘Is it enough to find out ‘them’?’ Wu Chen actually doesn’t have much choice.
‘Yes. Just tell me what they are.’ said the queen with certainty.
‘If I promise you, will you send these eggs for me?’
‘No problem.’ Before he finished speaking, the gold-eating ants army rushed in from all directions! These big ants with huge and sharp jaw teeth, red all over their bodies, and as strong as small foals were clearly military ants! Wu Chen had no doubt that the powerful jaw teeth could clamp him into two sections in the waist!
In other words, the queen ant has long been ready to talk to the death!
Throwing a cup as a horn? First, be courtesy and then fight?!
Very dangerous...
Several giant domes were pushed up by a group of soldiers and ants with their jaw teeth, as if a light boat in the red torrent passed by Wu Chen leisurely and rushed to the distance.
"..." Wu Chen let out a light sigh, giving birth to a sense of frustration from the identity of the master of the earth.
Nowadays, not only chefs, but also ants understand the art of war!
The business is not easy to do...
The queen generously sent a few worker ants to lead the way. This sent Wu Chen to the road. Out of respect for another advanced life and contract spirit, Wu Chen must complete this reconnaissance mission.
Being friends with the queen of ant seems to be a plus in the long run.
Although I don’t know how the gold-eating ants convey information, judging from the big ants along the way meeting Wu Chen riding dog meat, they all avoided it, and the order of the queen of the ant has been transmitted first.
A group of worker ants crawling with all their might was not slow, which made Wu Chen even more impressed.
The metal pipes were well connected. After running for an hour, they arrived at the settlement of rodents. Wu Chen knew this because he encountered several seriously damaged pipes and the corpses of several rats. Wu Chen then understood the importance of the gold-eating ants building metal pipes. For example, when crossing the territories of the rats, thick metal pipes were excellent defense. Even if there were one or two broken places, the soldiers and ants patrolling nearby would siege them in groups and kill the invaders in the shortest time.
Wu Chen is not unfamiliar with these mutant rats.
Not long ago, I witnessed a tragic situation of a sturdy prong horned cattle being swallowed up by densely packed sword-spine rats. As I went deeper, the metal ant hole was damaged more and more severely. A melee between several sword-spine rats and a group of gold-eating ants could be seen everywhere. Occasionally, there were teams of sword-spine rats and dog meat passing by.
Thanks to the colony membrane armor that isolates his pheromone, the journey across Fire is still very safe as long as it does not attack the rats coming and going.
Because no skeleton rat is interested in a ball of moving iron lumps.
However, the worker ant leading the way was occasionally cut off and dragged away by the knife-and-spine rats that rushed out of the fork. Soon, the last worker ant leading the way was killed in half by the brutal pipeline hunter. Before Wu Chen could react, the body was dragged away quickly.
Fortunately, as he got further and further away from the core ant hole, the fork gradually disappeared. Only a dark straight road was left in front of Wu Chen. This was a deserted pipeline that even gold-eating ants rarely care about.
It is full of various damages and landslides, as well as silted black ash.
Walking carefully through the damaged pipeline, before he knew it, the metal passage was suddenly replaced by a familiar cement trench. Wu Chen came to a man-built urban sewer. Not long after he walked, he arrived at an upward wellhead at the end of the sewer. The iron net that blocked him was still hung with a nameplate for the maintenance passage. Although there was an upward iron ladder on the wall of the wellhead, it was broken when touched and could not bear the load at all.
The manhole cover above the head is of a normal human size, and dog meat obviously cannot be drilled out.
"Go up and take a look." Motion to dog meat to find another exit. Wu Chen measured the height from the ground and jumped up suddenly.
With a cannon, the high-pressure steam stored by the metal cells pushed him upwards, and he held up the manhole cover with his arm. Wu Chen turned over and jumped onto the ground. He reached out to catch the manhole cover that was rolling and falling. He gently placed it in place. Wu Chen quickly looked around and found that this was an edge area that he was not familiar with.
"Master, it's very close to the riverside, be careful!" tt40 hurriedly warned.
"tt40, scan the specific location."
"Naxigou Port Area." tt40 quickly determined the specific location.
"So, we arrived at a port?" Following the dark skyline, Wu Chen could easily find the ruins of a high tower of a portal crane standing in the distance. There were also mountains of used containers.
Hiding in the shadow of a building. Wu Chen was carefully identifying the footprints of a mutant beast on the ground.
"tt40, compare the database."
"Oh my God. The furnace six-legged leopard!" tt40 exclaimed: "Master, it is said that there is a small biochemical furnace in the belly of the furnace leopard. Like a filthy hyena, it can dissolve alloys at the molecular level! The colonic membrane armor cannot withstand its attack at all!"
Seeing Wu Chen silent, Zhizhu repeatedly urged: "What are you waiting for by the master? Let's go!"
"Tt40 Don't be anxious. The footprints are strange." After carefully identifying them, Wu Chen pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Look at these dried mud marks, they all seem to be the footprints of the past. The latest batch is probably several days ago." Near the riverside, the ground is very wet. Wu Chen judged based on his childhood experience of playing with mud, these footprints that have turned into hard mud. They must have been stepping on them for a long time.
"What's so strange about this? Large predators don't go out to hunt every day. You can eat it for several days if you hunt once." tt40 retorted.
Wu Chen defended: "It's right, but the more powerful the beasts are, the tighter they look at the territory. They patrol the territory many times every day and use urine to divide the boundaries, so it's impossible that they only have footprints from a few days ago." This is the experience of the animal world.
"So that's the case." tt40 suddenly said: "Master, could it be that mysterious gold-eating mutant beast that killed the six-legged leopard?"
Wu Chen's heart moved: "Since the nest of the gold-eating ant is connected here, it is obvious that the problem lies here..."
Although he was very confident in his judgment, Wu Chen still carefully investigated before he decided to trek into the territory of the advanced mutant beast. After a long time, the furnace leopard had not appeared yet, Wu Chen decided to walk out of the shadow in the corner.
"Everything is OK." tt40 quickly scans the surrounding environment and reports the information obtained to him at all times.
Walking through the open zone where there is nowhere to hide, the ruins of containers by the river should be the habitat of the furnace leopard.
As he walked, Wu Chen suddenly stopped: "There is blood."
The splashed plasma was already thirsty, and it looked like rust. Wu Chen dipped it in with his fingers and wiped off a layer of black blood scab.
"It's not blood. The red blood cells have apoptotic, and it's estimated that it's been several days." tt40 quickly came up with the preliminary results: "I'm not sure which mutant beast's blood is, the owner must be careful."
Wu Chen nodded.
If the gold-eating beast dies, it means that the six-legged leopard is indeed as powerful as the rumors. If the six-legged leopard dies, it means that the gold-eating beast is stronger than the six-legged leopard!
No one dies and lives is good news for him!
Bypassing the ruins of several collapsed buildings, it was shocking after the war.
I saw that solidified steel was splashed everywhere on the ruins of the dilapidated container. The broken boxes were lying in the middle of the house, lying in a huge pit. Someone's blood was splashed with scorched earth, and pieces and curved steel plates could be seen everywhere.
Wu Chen also found a terrifying scratch on a steel beam. He reached out and measured it, and the scratch was deeper than his fingers. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
