The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 63 Grazing
It didn't take long for Luke to figure out the purpose of those Fifteen Ton Ants. They did have a grudge against the Blue Silver Grass, but it wasn't the "revenge" he imagined.

To be precise, those Fifteen Ton Ants came to eat the blue silver grass.

Luke's vision has been enhanced, and he can clearly see the movements of all the Giant Ants from such a close distance.

After only observing for a moment, he discovered a problem.

Those Fifteen Ton Ant worker ants were very reluctant to eat the Blue Silver Grass, and were often punished by other Fifteen Ton Ant worker ants if they lingered.

Some of them were even torn to pieces by the soldier ants surrounding them because of their low work efficiency.

How does it feel like a group of winners are enslaving the losers, making them do coolies like mining?
In order to confirm that he was right, Luke observed carefully again and again, and finally confirmed this fact.

All the Fifteen Ton Ant worker ants that ate the Blue Silver Grass were in poor condition, and it was common for them to be covered with scars. Many of them lost their arms and legs and were defeated.

In addition, those worker ants who appeared to have no scars on the surface were also dejected, old, weak, sick and disabled.

The worker ants that functioned as supervisors and the soldier ants that obviously acted as guardians were all strong and arrogant, obviously looking like winners.

After a longer period of observation, Luke discovered the most important piece of evidence, that is, the skin color of the remnants and the defeated generals, as well as the patterns on the shells, were quite different from those of the victors.

More specifically, the skin color of the remnants and defeated generals is bluish, and there are many patterns similar to water waves on the shell;
And the skin of those victors is red, and the pattern of dancing flames is on the shell.

Luke secretly guessed in his heart: It seems that these "Blue Water Clan Fifteen Ton Ants" should be the defeated subordinates of the "Red Fire Clan Fifteen Ton Ants", who were captured by the latter as slaves.

Of course he is not an expert with in-depth research on Fifteen Ton Ants, and he also knows that these two titles are definitely not accurate.

But he knew that the title was not the point, the point was why the Fifteen Ton Ants of the two races did this, why did the Fifteen Ton Ants of the Red Fire Clan let their slaves of the Fifteen Ton Ants of the Blue Water Clan eat the Blue Silver Grass?
After observing for a long time, the sun was almost setting, and Luke only observed the slightest clue of this problem.

After those Bluewater Fifteen Ton Ant slaves ate a certain amount of blue silver grass, they would just sit still.

But it didn't look like he was being lazy, because he was not punished by the Red Fire Clan's Fifteen Ton Ant supervisor.

After a long period of boring observation, Luke found that there seemed to be some small things under the bodies of the blue-water Fifteen Ton Ant slaves who were sitting still.

In just a moment, the overseers of the Fifteen Ton Ants of the Red Fire Clan will rush up and drive the Fifteen Ton Ant slaves of the Blue Water Clan who are still sitting still to continue eating the blue silver grass, and they will carefully collect the small things on the ground. Get up and be taken away by another group of supervisors back to the direction of the ant nest.

This is……

Luke used all his eyesight to finally see what those little things looked like.

It was a light blue, crystal-clear oval object with a smooth surface and a strange faint brilliance. It looked very beautiful and seemed to be delicious.

Could it be that the Fifteen Ton Ants of the Red Fire Clan are grazing their Fifteen Ton Ant slaves of the Blue Water Clan as hens, and when the slaves are full of blue silver grass, lay eggs for them to eat?
This guess is naturally unreasonable, but Luke feels that this should be the guess most likely to guess the truth.

After a long time, the setting sun completely disappeared under the horizon, and after all the Blue Water Tribe's ant slaves had given birth to light blue egg-shaped objects, today's large-scale herding operation came to an end.

All the Fifteen Ton Ant slaves of the Blue Water Clan were escorted back by the supervisors and soldier ants of the Red Fire Clan Fifteen Ton Ants.

……

Just when Luke breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that he could spend the day safely, an accident happened.

In the dim twilight, a small group of more than a dozen soldier ants with dagger-like sharp teeth in their mouths and thick fiery red shells rushed towards this lonely bamboo in a sea of ​​blue and silver grass.

Didn't they find the traces that the two of their kind were killed, and then came to me to take revenge?
Luke was not afraid, on the contrary, he was quite excited at this time.

Others have no money in their pockets, and their backs are not strong, but he has no source of strength in his hands and a weak heart.

He is best at "Insect Sea Tactics", as long as he is given enough source power, he can confidently attack the tens of thousands of Fifteen Ton Ant colonies at the hunter's cabin.

But now he only has 1470 points of source power, and he can't pull out a large army, even the mixed team of more than 1000 soldier ants and slaves here.

But, if there were only a dozen or so soldier ants, he would still have the confidence to eat them.

……

The fact is not as Luke imagined, the goal of the dozen soldier ants is not him, but the bamboo he is hiding in.They didn't just have a small group of soldier ants, they also brought a few overseers of the same clan and dozens of Blue Water Fifteen Ton Ant slaves.

But having said that, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether the target is him or not.

Because the purpose of this mixed team is to cut down this bamboo, sooner or later his hiding place will be discovered.

The two big teeth of soldier ants are exceptionally sharp, and they can bite through smaller bamboo branches with one bite, which is more efficient than a woodcutter's ax for cutting.

The bamboo branches that fell to the ground were picked up and dragged away by the dozens of Blue Water Fifteen Ton Ant slaves on the ground, and the supervisors were responsible for maintaining order.

The whole felling process progressed very quickly. Even if Luke's [Master of Disguise] skills were superb, those soldier ants would be able to crawl to his side in a short time, and it would be impossible not to find him.

But it doesn't matter, the mixed team has gone far, and Luke is confident that he can finish this team before they come back.

But before that, he wanted to do another experiment to see if his Fifteen Ton Ant worker ant soldiers could successfully sneak into this team.

"[Exotic Beast Card - Fifteen Ton Ant Worker Ant], manifest!"

Following Luke's order, a Fifteen Ant worker ant with the same fiery red shell and dancing flame patterns as the Red Fire Fist ant supervisors on the ground appeared on a thin bamboo branch not far below him, shaking its head. superior.

And there, there happened to be a Fifteen Ton Soldier Ant of the Red Fire Tribe who was devouring the bamboo branch with his two big teeth.

Suddenly seeing a similar one appearing beside him, this soldier ant seemed a little puzzled.

It stopped nibbling on the bamboo branches, slowly crawled towards the shaking head of its kind, and gently touched the tentacles of the newly appeared one with its two long tentacles.

Luke, who was close at hand, felt a little uneasy. Whether the Fifteen Ton Ant worker ants he manifested could get mixed into the large group of ants was related to his subsequent plans.

If he succeeds, he will be able to control this Fifteen Ton Ant colony safely and efficiently.

If you can't, then you can only fight hard.

No matter what, his soldiers have to pass the test of this Jun ant soldier ant first.

This test seems very simple, just touch the tentacles, can it pass?
