Heroes of Invincible Hidden Architect
Chapter 604 Wonderful Fungus
A skilled liar hates others to expose his lies the most, and secondly hates being cheated.
When Qige saw it, he loudly advertised that he was a liar, and that he was an exceptionally strong ant-man.
Like other ants, he has prominent six limbs.
A pair of strong, angular hind legs, shaped like a mech, shone like glass.
The two pairs of thick arms are like mechanical arms, connected by many elastic thin steel wires, and the four fingers are also shining like metal.
The most striking thing is his huge steel head and more than a dozen mouthparts with sharp blades.
He stood tall and straight, more than three meters tall, full of pressure.
"He's lying.
That tamer was captured by me from the tamer's camp.
While many kobolds were protecting him, he was the only one sleeping soundly on top of his tamer's pack beast.
He must be the leader of the beast trainers, just like our ant queen, so he has the ability to resurrect corpses. "
"Is there still this?"
Qige looked at Nimbas suspiciously.
Nimbus shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Ah, there is.
Not long after I arrived here, I was surrounded by a group of strange-looking things, and they arrested me. "
Nimbas shook his body and said:
"Look, the chains that bound me before are still left by them.
As for your sleep.Our strongest beast tamers generally call it meditation.
That's how we build our strength. "
After Nimbas finished speaking, he glanced at Qige, as if asking if there was any problem with saying so.
Seven pigeons secretly gave a thumbs up, turned around and called out generously:
"Ah, it's all right now, everyone heard it.
My brother is innocent.
Pity my brother, besieged by animal trainers, outnumbered, and misunderstood by you, you are so cruel.
That big fast head, look, what are you looking at, why don't you apologize quickly. "
The big man was very angry: "No! I still don't believe it. Unless you can kill a beast trainer in front of us, I won't believe you at all."
"Okay! Then do as you say."
Qige clapped her hands violently and said:
"Kill, kill now.
As for the animal trainers, hurry up and grab an animal trainer. "
For a while, the ants were all quiet, not even the big guy made a sound.
Qige immediately understood that although these ants were screaming fiercely, they must be at a disadvantage in the battle against the beast tamer.
This is also very logical, if the Ant-Man has the upper hand they should not be slaves, but the animal trainers should be slaves.
So Qi Ge said: "Look, it's not that I don't want to prove myself, you can't find a beast trainer at all.
That being the case, we might as well prove it in another way.
To be honest, it is also the first time for us brothers to come to your place, so we don't know much about your situation.
Otherwise, please tell us about your situation.
If we can come up with a method that can significantly enhance your combat effectiveness, and help you improve your combat effectiveness, it will prove that we are not in the same league as the beast trainer.
It's impossible for the animal trainer to help you improve your combat power to resist yourself, right? "
The Ant-Man whispered to each other for a while, and finally the big-bellied Ant-Man made up his mind:
"What you say makes sense, then do what you say."
After reaching a consensus, Ant-Man was not procrastinating at all, and his work efficiency was so high that Qi Ge was surprised.
With little hesitation, they took Qige and Nimbas to their nursery.
All the guards in the middle, after the ants touched each other's tentacles, seemed to understand everything in an instant, without any obstacles.
After Qige inquired, I learned that ants and people can use the pheromones emitted by their antennae to communicate with each other.
This way of conveying information is a hundred times stronger than human language.
Because thinking is directly shared, there will be no ambiguity, no misunderstanding, and no lies.
Originally, Qi Ge was very surprised, but after arriving at the nursery, he realized that he was surprised a little earlier.
In Ant-Man's nursery, Qige saw something she was very familiar with—fungi, or mushrooms.
Under the command of a group of ant-men with big bellies, ordinary ant-men carried various rocks and a strange mineral and placed them in the nursery.
The white mycelium of the fungus in the nursery quickly coats the "food" and absorbs it quickly.
Then the ant-man eggs buried in the fungal hyphae will hatch and grow up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and break out of the shell.
Newborn ant-men will quickly eat the fungus around their egg shells after birth, and grow up at an extremely fast rate.
As they grow, their bodies become transparent like glass.
Qige finally discovered the physical mystery of these ant-men-silicon-based organisms.
The whole body of these ant-men has very little soft flesh and blood tissue, which is located inside the body.
They don't have a heart, but they have a well-developed brain similar to vertebrates, and at the same time, they have a huge neural network of arthropods and pseudobrain ganglia that act as brains.
Centralization and local autonomy appeared in their bodies at the same time, and the two sides surprisingly did not conflict.
The hyphae eaten by them will reach the abdominal cavity along their digestive tract, and then 100% of them will be converted into metal formin in the abdominal cavity, and will be pushed to the surface of the body by the "vessel" filled with pistons.
In just half an hour, after being covered with layers of carapace, the ant-man larva that was only the size of a fist grew into an adult ant-man that was nearly two meters long.
This growth method is not at all like the slow growth of carbon-based organisms, but more like wearing clothes.
The young Ant-Man put on the armor layer by layer. Tens of thousands of layers of armor with different functions were superimposed and interacted to form a powerful Ant-Man mech.
The big-bellied ant-man walked up to the newborn ant-man and touched the newborn ant-man with his tentacles. Without any learning, the newborn ant-man understood his mission and tasks.
He shook his body, and skillfully joined the Ant-Man's carrying army.
Ant-Man with a big belly said:
"This is the worker ants of our colony, whose main responsibilities are to build and expand to defend the nest, collect food, and feed the larvae and queen.
I am a teacher ant, responsible for thinking, storing the survival experience of the group, and passing on these experiences. "
As he was speaking, another larger ant egg hatched, and an ant larva much larger than the worker ants appeared inside.
As soon as the ant-man larva emerged, it mercilessly ate up the hyphae around its egg shell.
But he didn't stop, but followed the mycelium and ate a dozen or so unhatched ant-man eggs and the mycelium near the eggs.
The Ant-Man with a big belly said in surprise:
"Oh! Your luck is really good.
We haven't had any soldier ants in years.
Soldier ants are very special among our ants.
As you can see, they are huge, with a strong and well-developed upper jaw.
They can crush solid rock and food, and can also be powerful combat weapons when defending groups or attacking other threats.
They specialize in combat capabilities, and usually do not participate in the construction of nests, feeding young ants and other work.
But they also participate in food gathering, but more often they are responsible for killing powerful prey, smashing up solid rock formations, and guarding the way while worker ants gather food.
Only when the number of soldier ants is sufficient, the excess soldier ants will collect. "
These ant-men are somewhat similar to the ants on the earth, they are doomed to their own destiny and tasks at birth.
There is no way for worker ants to become soldier ants, and there is no way for soldier ants to become worker ants in fear of death.
This method may be unfair to individuals, but Qi Ge calls it efficient.
The teacher ant is in charge of thinking, and the other ant people don't have any mental troubles, and only need to carry out simple mechanical movements.
A high degree of division of labor, each perform their duties, although it is a living thing, but it is like a machine, there is no internal friction, and there is no meaningless loss of energy.
At this time, Qi Ge noticed that the fungus had not absorbed all the food, and left some waste.
On the nursery, there are also black ant-man egg shells left after hatching.
The worker ants are removing these remaining waste and egg shells and heading in the same direction.
Qige couldn't help asking:
"What are they doing?"
Teacher Ant said:
"They're going to the breeding room. Come on, I'll take you there."
Led by the teacher ants, Qige and the others followed the worker ants to the breeding room.
In the cultivation room, there was another kind of black fungus all over the place.
Those waste materials and egg shells were thrown into the black fungus.
In addition to waste and egg shells, there are also the corpses of some strange creatures, various rocks, leaves, soil, sludge...
Whether it is inorganic or organic, they are thrown into the fungal pile by the ants.
Qige even saw the corpses of several worker ants and soldier ants. They were wrapped in black mycelium, and more than half of them had dissolved.
Teacher Ant stopped Qige and the others and said:
"The breeding ground is very dangerous, you must not approach it.
As long as it is caught by the medium, it will leave a large piece of corrosion damage.
The culture medium is a special mycelium cultivated by our body fluid, which can only be planted on pure silica rock.
They can digest almost everything. "
Teacher ants brought Qige and Nimbas to the bottom of the medium.
Under the suspended black pure silica rock, there is a small pool.
A steady stream of milky sap and some strange solids kept falling into the pool.
"These solids are exactly the white silica that has just been absorbed by the white hyphae in the nursery."
A colony of worker ants scoops out the white silica with a fully-filtered dredge, and waits until all the milky sap has dropped back into the pond before they take it out.
"After accumulating a certain amount, this pot of milky white juice will continue to concentrate, and finally form the incomparably precious ant royal jelly.
Ant royal jelly can only be enjoyed by queen ants.
After the queen ants have eaten royal jelly, they have a higher probability of laying eggs of soldier ants and teacher ants.
If the queen ants want to evolve, they also need a lot of royal jelly.
The evolved queen ants can produce stronger and more complex ants.
The purpose of those animal trainers to enslave us is precisely these precious ant royal jelly.
Since we were caught by the animal trainers, almost all the ant royal jelly has been taken from us.
Our great ant queen can only eat mycelium like us.
Without the supplement of ant royal jelly, the queen ants can only produce worker ants, and the probability of soldier ants and teacher ants appearing is very small.
There is no possibility of evolution at all. "
The teacher Ant was heartbroken and burst into tears, but Qige didn't want to listen to him at all.
Qige's attention has been fully focused on the several corpses wrapped in the black mycelium.
They look like eggshells, with uneven surfaces covered with bubbles of different sizes.
These bubbles not only opened and closed, but also tried to eject a little bit of chaotic mist.
Ghost nest monster.
The pioneer of chaos can mass-produce chaos dogs.
In the case of not entering the big battlefield mode, the ghost nest monster has extremely terrible resistance.
Object immunity, magic immunity, not affected by control effects.
Only the river or sea water of Yasha world can harm them.
But now, these ghost nest monsters are wrapped in black mycelium, and they have been dissolved into disfigurement.
What surprised Qige the most was that even the chaotic mist sprayed out by the ghost's nest monster was being captured by the black hyphae.
"No, no.
Can these black hyphae even digest the fog of chaos?
If it is possible, it is a good thing.
If we can find a way to bring this fungus back from the illusion and give it to Mirola to cultivate, maybe we can come up with a great weapon against Chaos. "
Qige glanced at Nimbas, and Nimbas, like himself, was staring at the monster in the ghost nest.
Qige patted Nimbas lightly, and Nimbus, as if waking up from a dream, immediately signaled Qige with his eyes to look at the ghost nest monsters that were submerged in hyphae.
Obviously, they wanted to go together.
Qi Ge carefully recalled that among the players who entered the Beast Tamer's Mud in the previous life, there was no example of a player bringing something out of the illusion.
"They can't do it, but it doesn't mean I can't do it. I'm Qige. Think about it carefully."
Afterwards, under the guidance of the teacher Ant, Qige and Nimbas visited the nest of the Cut Ant tribe in detail
The ant tribe's nest is a three-dimensional nest with a full 6 floors, which is divided into functional nest chambers and ant tunnels for passage.
The overall trend of the ant nests is vertically downward, and the space is more complicated. To Qige's surprise, the cells of these ant nests are all perfect regular hexagons.
The function of the nest room of the Ant Tribe is also much more than what Qige imagined.
In addition to the nursery room for cultivating young ants and the cultivation room for food production, there are also medical rooms, high-speed ant tunnels, temperature control rooms, drainage tanks, food storage rooms...
There are a total of 26 species, the largest of which is the now empty queen's room.
In the entire nest, there are nearly 30 worker ants, more than 2000 soldier ants and [-] teacher ants.
According to the teacher ants, the ratio of soldier ants to worker ants should be between 1:1. If there is a large-scale battle, such as the nest being invaded, this ratio will rise to 5:1 or even 10:1, that is, 10 soldier ants and 1 worker ants.
But now, the number of soldier ants is pitifully small.
After visiting the entire ant nest, Qige exhausted his words, and finally got the teacher ant to agree to visit the soldier ant battle.
The person in charge of the demonstration was the big man who had previously identified Qige and Nimbas.
And his opponent is an underground worm that weighs 127 tons and is as big as a small mountain bag.
The soldier ant fought wildly. He escaped the attack of the underground worm, then lifted the entire underground worm with both hands, and smashed its head on the hard rocky ground.
In this way, it was smashed 160 times, and the underground worms were smashed to death.
Qi Ge was dumbfounded.
The weight of a soldier ant is only 300 kilograms, or about 600 catties, but he can hold and throw a super-giant worm 4000 times his own weight up and down more than 100 times.
This is equivalent to a 200-jin adult holding a civil aviation airliner and squatting up and down hundreds of times on the spot.
Because of their size, it is much harder for soldier ants to lift underground worms than it is for humans to lift civil airliners.
Nimbas made some calculations and said to Seven Pigeons:
"Let's not talk about combat skills, if you just talk about strength, a soldier ant is about the same as a Level 5 Minotaur.
If what the teacher ants say is true, the ant nest had a full 40 soldier ants in its heyday.
This is equivalent to 40 Minotaurs, and this military force is almost the same as a large main city. "
These words gave Qi Ge a deeper understanding of the strength of the animal trainer.
Ant-Man is so strong, he can beat Ant-Man, and even a beast trainer who treats Ant-Man as a slave will only be stronger.
Qi Ge was very curious about the experience of Ant-Man being defeated and taken prisoner by the animal trainer. After a few probes, he found that the teacher Ant didn't seem to be disgusted by mentioning this matter, so he asked directly.
The teacher ant shook its tentacles and said:
“It was a painful and unforgettable memory for us.
Beastmasters themselves are not powerful, but they can control and strengthen other creatures.
We ants are not even afraid of underground worms that are hundreds of times bigger than us, but we have nothing to do with tiny marsh flies.
Marsh flies are extremely fast, and can quickly fly into our bodies from the gaps in our mouths, ears, antenna connections, etc.
They lay eggs in our bodies and die.
The larvae of the marsh fly eat us little by little from within, and burst out.
Our army of soldier ants was defeated by the little marsh fly.
Not only soldier ants, marsh flies also have strong lethality to worker ants.
After the marsh fly invaded our nest, the nest quickly collapsed.
In order to save her life, the queen ant had to surrender herself, and was implanted with a control chip by the animal trainer, and also became the animal trainer's slave.
The ant queen is in the hands of the animal trainer, and we can only submit. "
Qige understood when he heard this.
Instead of defeating Ant-Man head-on, the animal trainer used other despicable means.
Marsh flies are to Ant-Man what viruses are to humans.
Humans have evolved so far that they can easily hunt and kill giant whales by using group hunting and tools, but it is still difficult to fight against viruses that have penetrated into their bodies.
There is another point in Ant-Man's description that interested Seven Pigeon very much.
control chip.
"Teacher Ant, what is the control chip you mentioned?"
The teacher ant shook the tentacles above its head and said:
"It's not clear to us that this is a word that a teacher ant stole from an animal trainer.
According to our understanding, this should be a special marsh fly.
As long as the Ant-Man is parasitized by this marsh fly called a control chip, it will be completely controlled.
Our purpose is to take the control chip out of the queen's brain, and then escape with the queen. "
Nimbus asked strangely:
"Escape, isn't it resistance?
Didn't you shout to kill the animal trainer just now? "
Teacher Ant shook his head and replied:
"It's not that easy, if we could kill it, we would have killed it long ago.
As long as the animal trainer still has the marshfly, even if we regain our prime, we are no match for the animal trainer.
If we can save the queen and escape successfully, we will be satisfied.
The resistance is shouted to the worker ants.
There must be a lot of sacrifices to save the queen.
If the worker ants knew we were going to evacuate from the beginning, they would probably fight passively out of fear of the marsh fly.
That's why I didn't send our thoughts across the tentacles. "
Seven pigeons: ...
Hey!
No matter which world, the ruling class is always so despicable, and those who are deceived and sacrificed are the bottom class.
Worker ants, you are so miserable, worker ants, woo woo woo.
Qige thoughtfully said to teacher Ant:
"Actually, the core issue right now is to rescue the queen ant.
Cut ants have no ability to reproduce themselves, and all ant eggs need to be born by queen ants.
Whether it is to resist or escape, it is something that needs to be considered only after rescuing the queen ant.
Hey, by the way, teacher ant, since the queen is in the hands of the animal trainer, how do you replenish your ant eggs? "
The teacher ant shook the tentacles above its head, and replied:
"Every once in a while, a group of kobolds who are also under the control of the animal trainer will bring ant eggs to us.
But ant eggs need ant royal jelly to exchange.
A serving of ant royal jelly can only be exchanged for 10 ant eggs.
If we don't prepare enough ant royal jelly, the kobolds will take the remaining ant eggs back. "
Qige then asked:
"What does the animal trainer want your ant royal jelly for?"
"We don't know that."
Teacher Ant said:
"We only know that ant royal jelly is very precious even among the animal trainers, and only the highest-ranking animal trainers can enjoy it.
The troops who came to deliver the ant eggs to us also took on the task of escorting the ant royal jelly back.
They will always send out extremely high-level kobolds to protect the ant royal jelly. "
Qige's eyes lit up:
"Kobold troops will come with ant eggs and return with ant royal jelly.
Doesn't that mean that following the kobold's army, or mixing with their army, can find the queen. "
The teacher ant shook:
"If you can't keep up, those kobolds can fly."
Seven pigeons: ...
God damn kobolds can fly...flying kobolds?What a strange creature that is.
But Qige didn't panic at all, he patted his chest and said:
"Coincidentally, I can fly too."
Seven pigeons flicked their fingers and took out a flying thaumaturgy scroll.
Although the mount and followers cannot follow in the illusion, the backpack can still be opened normally.
"Have you seen this scroll? As long as I tear it apart, not only can I fly, but all the worker ants and soldier ants in your ant nest can also fly."
Teacher Ant was very excited:
"really?"
"Of course, as long as you are willing to recognize me as master."
The teacher ant became cold all of a sudden, he said dully:
"Impossible, we, the Ant Race, will never be slaves.
Seeing Qi Ge's strange eyes, Teacher Yi seemed a little embarrassed and added:
"Unless the queen is caught."
Qige put away the flying thaumaturgy scroll, sighed and said:
"Then there is no other way. It seems that my brother and I can only find a way to save your ant queen."
The teacher ant hummed and said:
"Look at you talking like you're free already.
Don't forget, you are still our captives.
You haven't proved that you can help us cut ants, and we have let you go. "
As soon as the teacher ant finished speaking, several soldier ants standing around the teacher ant immediately walked over with arrogance, threatening Qige with various fierce expressions.
"Help. It's very simple. I've thought about it a long time ago."
Seven pigeons clapped their hands and said:
"Nimbas, show them."
Nimbas took a step forward and clapped his hands.
The three worker ants who had just been resurrected by him came over immediately.
Under the order of Nimbas, the three worker ants twisted off their heads, revealing their empty bodies.
As we all know, undead troops can still live without their heads.
As long as you put your head back in time, it won't matter.
Seven Pigeons said:
"The thing that has the greatest influence on you Ant Clan is the marsh fly.
The marsh fly will lay eggs inside of you and eat your guts.
But you see, the soldiers resurrected by my brother have no internal organs, how can the marsh flies eat them?
As long as you bring in more corpses of worker ants and soldier ants, you can form an army that is not afraid of marsh flies.
At that time, will the animal trainer still be your opponent? "
"No! Of course not!
Except for the Marshfly, all other monsters of the Beastmaster were defeated by our invincible Ants! "
The teacher ant said excitedly, but immediately fell down again:
"However, our stock of dead bodies is limited.
Without queen ants, the number of soldier ants is insufficient, and we are not qualified for difficult hunting.
Only relying on worker ants for collection, there is too little food.
Helpless, all worker ants that are accidental or die of old age can only be put into the breeding ground.
We have to wait for enough Ant-Man to be resurrected, and I don't know when it will be.
We can't let worker ants and soldier ants commit suicide just to bring you back to life. "
Qi Ge turned her head and said:
"In that case, I have another proposal."
Qige patted Nimbas on the shoulder vigorously, and said:
"I put my brother as a hostage here, and I will find a way to rescue the queen.
To me, my brother is no less important to me than the Queen Ant is to you.
You can control me by controlling my brother like a beast tamer.
In this way, you don't have to worry about me escaping, nor do you have to worry about me surrendering to the enemy.
My brother is here and can help you transform all Ant-Man corpses into invincible warriors who are not afraid of marshflies.
Kill two birds with one stone. "
"This……"
Teacher Ant was a little hesitant, as if such a situation had never appeared in his database.
Qi Ge struck while the iron was hot, and then said foolishly:
"You have to think of it this way, from the beginning you only have my brother, right?
I was caught by you to save my brother.
Now my brother and I are unlikely to be the animal trainer, we are most likely to be the enemy of the animal trainer.
I went to rescue the queen, my brother stayed behind.
If I didn't rescue the queen, you have no loss. You were only going to use my brother's life to inspire the fighting spirit of the worker ants.
But if I succeed, you can bring the queen back.
Make sure you don't lose!What dare not? "
Teacher Ant was fooled for a while, and felt that what Qige said seemed to make a little sense.
He discussed it with several other teacher ants, and they all felt that there was no problem.
So, they agreed to Qi Ge's request.
The ant-clan immediately got busy, and the number of ant-men guarding Qige and Nimbas was also much less.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nimbas approached the seven pigeons and whispered:
"Master, I am the second to enter the illusion.
The little girl in Silvia had already entered the illusion before me.
This chaotic frontier is so powerful that even I, a demigod, can't perceive how I was pulled into the illusion.
Master, is it possible for the three of us to enter the same illusion? "
Qige nodded and replied:
"Definitely.
According to the records in the books, although the illusions produced by the animal trainer's mud are all kinds of strange things,
But people who enter the illusion at about the same time will only appear in the same illusion at the same time. "
"That's troublesome.
Now we have searched the entire ant nest but have not found Sylvia, she is probably on the side of the animal trainer.
Master, when you get there, remember to pay attention. "
Nimbus said.
Qige nodded and replied:
"I know, Nimbas, you must be careful here, and you must not lose your life.
Also, you have to pay a little attention.
All three of us are already here and maybe Elena will come too. "
"Understood, master, I will be careful."
Nimbas asked:
"Master, how can we leave the illusion?"
"There are two ways."
Qige bit her finger and said:
"The first way is to survive.
The size of the Beastmaster's Slime is limited, as long as we can hold out until the Silver Spirit and Sky Whale leave the Beastmaster's Slime, we can leave the illusion.
The second method is strategy.
Become a figure in this illusion that everyone knows everyone, and be noticed by countless people that we are different.
In this way, we will become the masters of the illusion, and we will be able to face the chaotic monsters that create the illusion.
After defeating the Chaos Monster, we can go out, and at the same time, we can attack the Mud of the Beastmaster. "
Nimbas suddenly realized:
"Oh, I get it, no wonder you are so high-profile, master, making up the strongest animal trainer.
If everyone knows everyone, the animal trainer must also conquer.
According to the ants, the animal trainer is the strongest force in this illusion.
It seems that you have to go to the animal trainer, master. "
Nimbas bowed his hands solemnly and said:
"I am here, wishing the master a successful start and a triumphant return."
Qige smiled and said:
"Don't be so frank, you also have tasks.
Nimbas, have you noticed those black fungi too? "
Nimbath's face became more serious:
"I was going to tell you this.
Master, I have made a big discovery that can break the sky. "
Qige asked strangely:
"What did you find?"
"Master, do you still remember what I said before, the Lord of the Dragon Lich, the true god behind the scenes of our Diya, has found a way to transform the fog of chaos into the death energy of the undead.
The principle of those black hyphae is almost the same as the method he found! "
"what!"
Seven pigeons shouted dumbly:
"Is there such a thing?"
ps: The hamster tried his best, but it was too late. My daughter vomited in the middle of going to bed at ten o'clock. She was busy for an hour.
I owe 2000 words, and the book friends are very empathetic.
When Qige saw it, he loudly advertised that he was a liar, and that he was an exceptionally strong ant-man.
Like other ants, he has prominent six limbs.
A pair of strong, angular hind legs, shaped like a mech, shone like glass.
The two pairs of thick arms are like mechanical arms, connected by many elastic thin steel wires, and the four fingers are also shining like metal.
The most striking thing is his huge steel head and more than a dozen mouthparts with sharp blades.
He stood tall and straight, more than three meters tall, full of pressure.
"He's lying.
That tamer was captured by me from the tamer's camp.
While many kobolds were protecting him, he was the only one sleeping soundly on top of his tamer's pack beast.
He must be the leader of the beast trainers, just like our ant queen, so he has the ability to resurrect corpses. "
"Is there still this?"
Qige looked at Nimbas suspiciously.
Nimbus shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Ah, there is.
Not long after I arrived here, I was surrounded by a group of strange-looking things, and they arrested me. "
Nimbas shook his body and said:
"Look, the chains that bound me before are still left by them.
As for your sleep.Our strongest beast tamers generally call it meditation.
That's how we build our strength. "
After Nimbas finished speaking, he glanced at Qige, as if asking if there was any problem with saying so.
Seven pigeons secretly gave a thumbs up, turned around and called out generously:
"Ah, it's all right now, everyone heard it.
My brother is innocent.
Pity my brother, besieged by animal trainers, outnumbered, and misunderstood by you, you are so cruel.
That big fast head, look, what are you looking at, why don't you apologize quickly. "
The big man was very angry: "No! I still don't believe it. Unless you can kill a beast trainer in front of us, I won't believe you at all."
"Okay! Then do as you say."
Qige clapped her hands violently and said:
"Kill, kill now.
As for the animal trainers, hurry up and grab an animal trainer. "
For a while, the ants were all quiet, not even the big guy made a sound.
Qige immediately understood that although these ants were screaming fiercely, they must be at a disadvantage in the battle against the beast tamer.
This is also very logical, if the Ant-Man has the upper hand they should not be slaves, but the animal trainers should be slaves.
So Qi Ge said: "Look, it's not that I don't want to prove myself, you can't find a beast trainer at all.
That being the case, we might as well prove it in another way.
To be honest, it is also the first time for us brothers to come to your place, so we don't know much about your situation.
Otherwise, please tell us about your situation.
If we can come up with a method that can significantly enhance your combat effectiveness, and help you improve your combat effectiveness, it will prove that we are not in the same league as the beast trainer.
It's impossible for the animal trainer to help you improve your combat power to resist yourself, right? "
The Ant-Man whispered to each other for a while, and finally the big-bellied Ant-Man made up his mind:
"What you say makes sense, then do what you say."
After reaching a consensus, Ant-Man was not procrastinating at all, and his work efficiency was so high that Qi Ge was surprised.
With little hesitation, they took Qige and Nimbas to their nursery.
All the guards in the middle, after the ants touched each other's tentacles, seemed to understand everything in an instant, without any obstacles.
After Qige inquired, I learned that ants and people can use the pheromones emitted by their antennae to communicate with each other.
This way of conveying information is a hundred times stronger than human language.
Because thinking is directly shared, there will be no ambiguity, no misunderstanding, and no lies.
Originally, Qi Ge was very surprised, but after arriving at the nursery, he realized that he was surprised a little earlier.
In Ant-Man's nursery, Qige saw something she was very familiar with—fungi, or mushrooms.
Under the command of a group of ant-men with big bellies, ordinary ant-men carried various rocks and a strange mineral and placed them in the nursery.
The white mycelium of the fungus in the nursery quickly coats the "food" and absorbs it quickly.
Then the ant-man eggs buried in the fungal hyphae will hatch and grow up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and break out of the shell.
Newborn ant-men will quickly eat the fungus around their egg shells after birth, and grow up at an extremely fast rate.
As they grow, their bodies become transparent like glass.
Qige finally discovered the physical mystery of these ant-men-silicon-based organisms.
The whole body of these ant-men has very little soft flesh and blood tissue, which is located inside the body.
They don't have a heart, but they have a well-developed brain similar to vertebrates, and at the same time, they have a huge neural network of arthropods and pseudobrain ganglia that act as brains.
Centralization and local autonomy appeared in their bodies at the same time, and the two sides surprisingly did not conflict.
The hyphae eaten by them will reach the abdominal cavity along their digestive tract, and then 100% of them will be converted into metal formin in the abdominal cavity, and will be pushed to the surface of the body by the "vessel" filled with pistons.
In just half an hour, after being covered with layers of carapace, the ant-man larva that was only the size of a fist grew into an adult ant-man that was nearly two meters long.
This growth method is not at all like the slow growth of carbon-based organisms, but more like wearing clothes.
The young Ant-Man put on the armor layer by layer. Tens of thousands of layers of armor with different functions were superimposed and interacted to form a powerful Ant-Man mech.
The big-bellied ant-man walked up to the newborn ant-man and touched the newborn ant-man with his tentacles. Without any learning, the newborn ant-man understood his mission and tasks.
He shook his body, and skillfully joined the Ant-Man's carrying army.
Ant-Man with a big belly said:
"This is the worker ants of our colony, whose main responsibilities are to build and expand to defend the nest, collect food, and feed the larvae and queen.
I am a teacher ant, responsible for thinking, storing the survival experience of the group, and passing on these experiences. "
As he was speaking, another larger ant egg hatched, and an ant larva much larger than the worker ants appeared inside.
As soon as the ant-man larva emerged, it mercilessly ate up the hyphae around its egg shell.
But he didn't stop, but followed the mycelium and ate a dozen or so unhatched ant-man eggs and the mycelium near the eggs.
The Ant-Man with a big belly said in surprise:
"Oh! Your luck is really good.
We haven't had any soldier ants in years.
Soldier ants are very special among our ants.
As you can see, they are huge, with a strong and well-developed upper jaw.
They can crush solid rock and food, and can also be powerful combat weapons when defending groups or attacking other threats.
They specialize in combat capabilities, and usually do not participate in the construction of nests, feeding young ants and other work.
But they also participate in food gathering, but more often they are responsible for killing powerful prey, smashing up solid rock formations, and guarding the way while worker ants gather food.
Only when the number of soldier ants is sufficient, the excess soldier ants will collect. "
These ant-men are somewhat similar to the ants on the earth, they are doomed to their own destiny and tasks at birth.
There is no way for worker ants to become soldier ants, and there is no way for soldier ants to become worker ants in fear of death.
This method may be unfair to individuals, but Qi Ge calls it efficient.
The teacher ant is in charge of thinking, and the other ant people don't have any mental troubles, and only need to carry out simple mechanical movements.
A high degree of division of labor, each perform their duties, although it is a living thing, but it is like a machine, there is no internal friction, and there is no meaningless loss of energy.
At this time, Qi Ge noticed that the fungus had not absorbed all the food, and left some waste.
On the nursery, there are also black ant-man egg shells left after hatching.
The worker ants are removing these remaining waste and egg shells and heading in the same direction.
Qige couldn't help asking:
"What are they doing?"
Teacher Ant said:
"They're going to the breeding room. Come on, I'll take you there."
Led by the teacher ants, Qige and the others followed the worker ants to the breeding room.
In the cultivation room, there was another kind of black fungus all over the place.
Those waste materials and egg shells were thrown into the black fungus.
In addition to waste and egg shells, there are also the corpses of some strange creatures, various rocks, leaves, soil, sludge...
Whether it is inorganic or organic, they are thrown into the fungal pile by the ants.
Qige even saw the corpses of several worker ants and soldier ants. They were wrapped in black mycelium, and more than half of them had dissolved.
Teacher Ant stopped Qige and the others and said:
"The breeding ground is very dangerous, you must not approach it.
As long as it is caught by the medium, it will leave a large piece of corrosion damage.
The culture medium is a special mycelium cultivated by our body fluid, which can only be planted on pure silica rock.
They can digest almost everything. "
Teacher ants brought Qige and Nimbas to the bottom of the medium.
Under the suspended black pure silica rock, there is a small pool.
A steady stream of milky sap and some strange solids kept falling into the pool.
"These solids are exactly the white silica that has just been absorbed by the white hyphae in the nursery."
A colony of worker ants scoops out the white silica with a fully-filtered dredge, and waits until all the milky sap has dropped back into the pond before they take it out.
"After accumulating a certain amount, this pot of milky white juice will continue to concentrate, and finally form the incomparably precious ant royal jelly.
Ant royal jelly can only be enjoyed by queen ants.
After the queen ants have eaten royal jelly, they have a higher probability of laying eggs of soldier ants and teacher ants.
If the queen ants want to evolve, they also need a lot of royal jelly.
The evolved queen ants can produce stronger and more complex ants.
The purpose of those animal trainers to enslave us is precisely these precious ant royal jelly.
Since we were caught by the animal trainers, almost all the ant royal jelly has been taken from us.
Our great ant queen can only eat mycelium like us.
Without the supplement of ant royal jelly, the queen ants can only produce worker ants, and the probability of soldier ants and teacher ants appearing is very small.
There is no possibility of evolution at all. "
The teacher Ant was heartbroken and burst into tears, but Qige didn't want to listen to him at all.
Qige's attention has been fully focused on the several corpses wrapped in the black mycelium.
They look like eggshells, with uneven surfaces covered with bubbles of different sizes.
These bubbles not only opened and closed, but also tried to eject a little bit of chaotic mist.
Ghost nest monster.
The pioneer of chaos can mass-produce chaos dogs.
In the case of not entering the big battlefield mode, the ghost nest monster has extremely terrible resistance.
Object immunity, magic immunity, not affected by control effects.
Only the river or sea water of Yasha world can harm them.
But now, these ghost nest monsters are wrapped in black mycelium, and they have been dissolved into disfigurement.
What surprised Qige the most was that even the chaotic mist sprayed out by the ghost's nest monster was being captured by the black hyphae.
"No, no.
Can these black hyphae even digest the fog of chaos?
If it is possible, it is a good thing.
If we can find a way to bring this fungus back from the illusion and give it to Mirola to cultivate, maybe we can come up with a great weapon against Chaos. "
Qige glanced at Nimbas, and Nimbas, like himself, was staring at the monster in the ghost nest.
Qige patted Nimbas lightly, and Nimbus, as if waking up from a dream, immediately signaled Qige with his eyes to look at the ghost nest monsters that were submerged in hyphae.
Obviously, they wanted to go together.
Qi Ge carefully recalled that among the players who entered the Beast Tamer's Mud in the previous life, there was no example of a player bringing something out of the illusion.
"They can't do it, but it doesn't mean I can't do it. I'm Qige. Think about it carefully."
Afterwards, under the guidance of the teacher Ant, Qige and Nimbas visited the nest of the Cut Ant tribe in detail
The ant tribe's nest is a three-dimensional nest with a full 6 floors, which is divided into functional nest chambers and ant tunnels for passage.
The overall trend of the ant nests is vertically downward, and the space is more complicated. To Qige's surprise, the cells of these ant nests are all perfect regular hexagons.
The function of the nest room of the Ant Tribe is also much more than what Qige imagined.
In addition to the nursery room for cultivating young ants and the cultivation room for food production, there are also medical rooms, high-speed ant tunnels, temperature control rooms, drainage tanks, food storage rooms...
There are a total of 26 species, the largest of which is the now empty queen's room.
In the entire nest, there are nearly 30 worker ants, more than 2000 soldier ants and [-] teacher ants.
According to the teacher ants, the ratio of soldier ants to worker ants should be between 1:1. If there is a large-scale battle, such as the nest being invaded, this ratio will rise to 5:1 or even 10:1, that is, 10 soldier ants and 1 worker ants.
But now, the number of soldier ants is pitifully small.
After visiting the entire ant nest, Qige exhausted his words, and finally got the teacher ant to agree to visit the soldier ant battle.
The person in charge of the demonstration was the big man who had previously identified Qige and Nimbas.
And his opponent is an underground worm that weighs 127 tons and is as big as a small mountain bag.
The soldier ant fought wildly. He escaped the attack of the underground worm, then lifted the entire underground worm with both hands, and smashed its head on the hard rocky ground.
In this way, it was smashed 160 times, and the underground worms were smashed to death.
Qi Ge was dumbfounded.
The weight of a soldier ant is only 300 kilograms, or about 600 catties, but he can hold and throw a super-giant worm 4000 times his own weight up and down more than 100 times.
This is equivalent to a 200-jin adult holding a civil aviation airliner and squatting up and down hundreds of times on the spot.
Because of their size, it is much harder for soldier ants to lift underground worms than it is for humans to lift civil airliners.
Nimbas made some calculations and said to Seven Pigeons:
"Let's not talk about combat skills, if you just talk about strength, a soldier ant is about the same as a Level 5 Minotaur.
If what the teacher ants say is true, the ant nest had a full 40 soldier ants in its heyday.
This is equivalent to 40 Minotaurs, and this military force is almost the same as a large main city. "
These words gave Qi Ge a deeper understanding of the strength of the animal trainer.
Ant-Man is so strong, he can beat Ant-Man, and even a beast trainer who treats Ant-Man as a slave will only be stronger.
Qi Ge was very curious about the experience of Ant-Man being defeated and taken prisoner by the animal trainer. After a few probes, he found that the teacher Ant didn't seem to be disgusted by mentioning this matter, so he asked directly.
The teacher ant shook its tentacles and said:
“It was a painful and unforgettable memory for us.
Beastmasters themselves are not powerful, but they can control and strengthen other creatures.
We ants are not even afraid of underground worms that are hundreds of times bigger than us, but we have nothing to do with tiny marsh flies.
Marsh flies are extremely fast, and can quickly fly into our bodies from the gaps in our mouths, ears, antenna connections, etc.
They lay eggs in our bodies and die.
The larvae of the marsh fly eat us little by little from within, and burst out.
Our army of soldier ants was defeated by the little marsh fly.
Not only soldier ants, marsh flies also have strong lethality to worker ants.
After the marsh fly invaded our nest, the nest quickly collapsed.
In order to save her life, the queen ant had to surrender herself, and was implanted with a control chip by the animal trainer, and also became the animal trainer's slave.
The ant queen is in the hands of the animal trainer, and we can only submit. "
Qige understood when he heard this.
Instead of defeating Ant-Man head-on, the animal trainer used other despicable means.
Marsh flies are to Ant-Man what viruses are to humans.
Humans have evolved so far that they can easily hunt and kill giant whales by using group hunting and tools, but it is still difficult to fight against viruses that have penetrated into their bodies.
There is another point in Ant-Man's description that interested Seven Pigeon very much.
control chip.
"Teacher Ant, what is the control chip you mentioned?"
The teacher ant shook the tentacles above its head and said:
"It's not clear to us that this is a word that a teacher ant stole from an animal trainer.
According to our understanding, this should be a special marsh fly.
As long as the Ant-Man is parasitized by this marsh fly called a control chip, it will be completely controlled.
Our purpose is to take the control chip out of the queen's brain, and then escape with the queen. "
Nimbus asked strangely:
"Escape, isn't it resistance?
Didn't you shout to kill the animal trainer just now? "
Teacher Ant shook his head and replied:
"It's not that easy, if we could kill it, we would have killed it long ago.
As long as the animal trainer still has the marshfly, even if we regain our prime, we are no match for the animal trainer.
If we can save the queen and escape successfully, we will be satisfied.
The resistance is shouted to the worker ants.
There must be a lot of sacrifices to save the queen.
If the worker ants knew we were going to evacuate from the beginning, they would probably fight passively out of fear of the marsh fly.
That's why I didn't send our thoughts across the tentacles. "
Seven pigeons: ...
Hey!
No matter which world, the ruling class is always so despicable, and those who are deceived and sacrificed are the bottom class.
Worker ants, you are so miserable, worker ants, woo woo woo.
Qige thoughtfully said to teacher Ant:
"Actually, the core issue right now is to rescue the queen ant.
Cut ants have no ability to reproduce themselves, and all ant eggs need to be born by queen ants.
Whether it is to resist or escape, it is something that needs to be considered only after rescuing the queen ant.
Hey, by the way, teacher ant, since the queen is in the hands of the animal trainer, how do you replenish your ant eggs? "
The teacher ant shook the tentacles above its head, and replied:
"Every once in a while, a group of kobolds who are also under the control of the animal trainer will bring ant eggs to us.
But ant eggs need ant royal jelly to exchange.
A serving of ant royal jelly can only be exchanged for 10 ant eggs.
If we don't prepare enough ant royal jelly, the kobolds will take the remaining ant eggs back. "
Qige then asked:
"What does the animal trainer want your ant royal jelly for?"
"We don't know that."
Teacher Ant said:
"We only know that ant royal jelly is very precious even among the animal trainers, and only the highest-ranking animal trainers can enjoy it.
The troops who came to deliver the ant eggs to us also took on the task of escorting the ant royal jelly back.
They will always send out extremely high-level kobolds to protect the ant royal jelly. "
Qige's eyes lit up:
"Kobold troops will come with ant eggs and return with ant royal jelly.
Doesn't that mean that following the kobold's army, or mixing with their army, can find the queen. "
The teacher ant shook:
"If you can't keep up, those kobolds can fly."
Seven pigeons: ...
God damn kobolds can fly...flying kobolds?What a strange creature that is.
But Qige didn't panic at all, he patted his chest and said:
"Coincidentally, I can fly too."
Seven pigeons flicked their fingers and took out a flying thaumaturgy scroll.
Although the mount and followers cannot follow in the illusion, the backpack can still be opened normally.
"Have you seen this scroll? As long as I tear it apart, not only can I fly, but all the worker ants and soldier ants in your ant nest can also fly."
Teacher Ant was very excited:
"really?"
"Of course, as long as you are willing to recognize me as master."
The teacher ant became cold all of a sudden, he said dully:
"Impossible, we, the Ant Race, will never be slaves.
Seeing Qi Ge's strange eyes, Teacher Yi seemed a little embarrassed and added:
"Unless the queen is caught."
Qige put away the flying thaumaturgy scroll, sighed and said:
"Then there is no other way. It seems that my brother and I can only find a way to save your ant queen."
The teacher ant hummed and said:
"Look at you talking like you're free already.
Don't forget, you are still our captives.
You haven't proved that you can help us cut ants, and we have let you go. "
As soon as the teacher ant finished speaking, several soldier ants standing around the teacher ant immediately walked over with arrogance, threatening Qige with various fierce expressions.
"Help. It's very simple. I've thought about it a long time ago."
Seven pigeons clapped their hands and said:
"Nimbas, show them."
Nimbas took a step forward and clapped his hands.
The three worker ants who had just been resurrected by him came over immediately.
Under the order of Nimbas, the three worker ants twisted off their heads, revealing their empty bodies.
As we all know, undead troops can still live without their heads.
As long as you put your head back in time, it won't matter.
Seven Pigeons said:
"The thing that has the greatest influence on you Ant Clan is the marsh fly.
The marsh fly will lay eggs inside of you and eat your guts.
But you see, the soldiers resurrected by my brother have no internal organs, how can the marsh flies eat them?
As long as you bring in more corpses of worker ants and soldier ants, you can form an army that is not afraid of marsh flies.
At that time, will the animal trainer still be your opponent? "
"No! Of course not!
Except for the Marshfly, all other monsters of the Beastmaster were defeated by our invincible Ants! "
The teacher ant said excitedly, but immediately fell down again:
"However, our stock of dead bodies is limited.
Without queen ants, the number of soldier ants is insufficient, and we are not qualified for difficult hunting.
Only relying on worker ants for collection, there is too little food.
Helpless, all worker ants that are accidental or die of old age can only be put into the breeding ground.
We have to wait for enough Ant-Man to be resurrected, and I don't know when it will be.
We can't let worker ants and soldier ants commit suicide just to bring you back to life. "
Qi Ge turned her head and said:
"In that case, I have another proposal."
Qige patted Nimbas on the shoulder vigorously, and said:
"I put my brother as a hostage here, and I will find a way to rescue the queen.
To me, my brother is no less important to me than the Queen Ant is to you.
You can control me by controlling my brother like a beast tamer.
In this way, you don't have to worry about me escaping, nor do you have to worry about me surrendering to the enemy.
My brother is here and can help you transform all Ant-Man corpses into invincible warriors who are not afraid of marshflies.
Kill two birds with one stone. "
"This……"
Teacher Ant was a little hesitant, as if such a situation had never appeared in his database.
Qi Ge struck while the iron was hot, and then said foolishly:
"You have to think of it this way, from the beginning you only have my brother, right?
I was caught by you to save my brother.
Now my brother and I are unlikely to be the animal trainer, we are most likely to be the enemy of the animal trainer.
I went to rescue the queen, my brother stayed behind.
If I didn't rescue the queen, you have no loss. You were only going to use my brother's life to inspire the fighting spirit of the worker ants.
But if I succeed, you can bring the queen back.
Make sure you don't lose!What dare not? "
Teacher Ant was fooled for a while, and felt that what Qige said seemed to make a little sense.
He discussed it with several other teacher ants, and they all felt that there was no problem.
So, they agreed to Qi Ge's request.
The ant-clan immediately got busy, and the number of ant-men guarding Qige and Nimbas was also much less.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nimbas approached the seven pigeons and whispered:
"Master, I am the second to enter the illusion.
The little girl in Silvia had already entered the illusion before me.
This chaotic frontier is so powerful that even I, a demigod, can't perceive how I was pulled into the illusion.
Master, is it possible for the three of us to enter the same illusion? "
Qige nodded and replied:
"Definitely.
According to the records in the books, although the illusions produced by the animal trainer's mud are all kinds of strange things,
But people who enter the illusion at about the same time will only appear in the same illusion at the same time. "
"That's troublesome.
Now we have searched the entire ant nest but have not found Sylvia, she is probably on the side of the animal trainer.
Master, when you get there, remember to pay attention. "
Nimbus said.
Qige nodded and replied:
"I know, Nimbas, you must be careful here, and you must not lose your life.
Also, you have to pay a little attention.
All three of us are already here and maybe Elena will come too. "
"Understood, master, I will be careful."
Nimbas asked:
"Master, how can we leave the illusion?"
"There are two ways."
Qige bit her finger and said:
"The first way is to survive.
The size of the Beastmaster's Slime is limited, as long as we can hold out until the Silver Spirit and Sky Whale leave the Beastmaster's Slime, we can leave the illusion.
The second method is strategy.
Become a figure in this illusion that everyone knows everyone, and be noticed by countless people that we are different.
In this way, we will become the masters of the illusion, and we will be able to face the chaotic monsters that create the illusion.
After defeating the Chaos Monster, we can go out, and at the same time, we can attack the Mud of the Beastmaster. "
Nimbas suddenly realized:
"Oh, I get it, no wonder you are so high-profile, master, making up the strongest animal trainer.
If everyone knows everyone, the animal trainer must also conquer.
According to the ants, the animal trainer is the strongest force in this illusion.
It seems that you have to go to the animal trainer, master. "
Nimbas bowed his hands solemnly and said:
"I am here, wishing the master a successful start and a triumphant return."
Qige smiled and said:
"Don't be so frank, you also have tasks.
Nimbas, have you noticed those black fungi too? "
Nimbath's face became more serious:
"I was going to tell you this.
Master, I have made a big discovery that can break the sky. "
Qige asked strangely:
"What did you find?"
"Master, do you still remember what I said before, the Lord of the Dragon Lich, the true god behind the scenes of our Diya, has found a way to transform the fog of chaos into the death energy of the undead.
The principle of those black hyphae is almost the same as the method he found! "
"what!"
Seven pigeons shouted dumbly:
"Is there such a thing?"
ps: The hamster tried his best, but it was too late. My daughter vomited in the middle of going to bed at ten o'clock. She was busy for an hour.
I owe 2000 words, and the book friends are very empathetic.
