The severed end of the gray round cocoon fell to the ground with a snap, and everyone subconsciously took a step back.

With a crash, countless light green stones poured out of the cocoon, and after a while, a small pile was piled on the ground.

Huh, several people let out a sigh of relief, and they all felt funny when they looked at each other.

Chu Ming was the most exaggerated. He even wiped the sweat off his head with his hand, then giggled in shock and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

To be honest, the shape of these things really resembles a person, and it is normal for him to be nervous.

"What are these?" Nan Chen poked at the pile of stones with the tip of his knife, "It looks quite nice."

Taking a closer look, he found that although these stones were of different sizes, they were all very regular regular pentagonal polyhedrons, and each stone was composed of 12 identical pentagons.

The green on most of the stones is very light, and some can barely see the color.

"Could it be the food of those ants?" Chu Ming speculated, "Don't ants always like to collect all kinds of food, and then pile them up in their holes for the winter."

"It feels like some kind of ore." Zhang Yayi even reached out and touched it, "It's cold and the surface is smooth."

"Don't touch it!" Shen Qiu grabbed Zhang Yayi's hand, frowned and said, "I don't know if these things are poisonous, you'd better be careful."

"That's right, Zhang Yayi, don't be careless. We have encountered a stone that looked normal before, but it turned out to be the secretion of a strange big snake. Although it is not poisonous, it attracts poisonous mosquitoes. At that time, a player The whole body is swollen." Chu Ming hurriedly answered.

Zhang Yayi hurriedly withdrew his hand immediately.

"Are the others still open?" Nan Chen asked while holding a knife.

"open!"

So Nan Chen cut two more, one of which was still this kind of light green pentagonal stone, and the other was filled with a fist-sized brown ball, which looked a bit like a pine cone, but the surface was Furry and feels weird.

Shen Qiu cut it open with a knife, and found that its skin was very soft, and inside were black seeds arranged neatly.

"This looks like some kind of crop, it should be food." Zhang Yayi concluded: "It seems that food is also stored in these gray cocoons."

While speaking, Nan Chen casually opened another one.

Chu Ming screamed, quickly covered his mouth, and stared in horror at the half-fallen corpse.

"It's a player."

The faces of several people were a little ugly. Sure enough, these ants also used humans as food reserves.

The player's face was as gray as the gray soil wrapped around his body. The system terminal on his wrist had disappeared, but some marks could still be seen.There is no trace of corruption in the body, and it is not known if it is the player this time.

"Let's go." The five people completely lost interest in continuing to watch.

Looking at those gray calluses, everyone felt a little tingling.If I was piled up here as food reserves by these ants after I died, it would feel really terrible, and it would be better to be cleared by Skynet directly.

Everyone didn't want to stay in this hole anymore, so everyone continued to set off and continue to explore along the direction the ants were traveling.

The further they went, the more frightening the traces on the passage, and they began to see some large dead ants just casually discarded on the side of the road.

"It must have been found by other players." Zou Hao said with certainty.

"And there are quite a few people." Chu Ming agreed.

Several people walked more carefully.

The passage gradually became wider, and Zhang Yayi walked more and more slowly, and couldn't help calling out to everyone in a low voice: "Have you noticed that there is no player at all?"

Of course Zhang Yayi wasn't referring to the living players, but they saw at least 20 corpses of big black ants along the way, but they didn't see the corpses of any players.

They have experienced the attack power of those ants before. Are those players as strong as Nan Chen?

Shhh, Nan Chen suddenly gave a signal to a few people, and then quickly ran towards a passage on the left.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yayi lowered his voice and asked.

"I heard where they are, come with me." Nan Chen ran forward lightly, avoiding several fork roads without any hesitation.

Soon a few people came to a cave that was also piled with many gray round cocoons, but this cave was much bigger and cleaner than the previous one.

Now when Chu Ming saw these round cocoons, his scalp tingled, but Nan Chen had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stepped on a few round cocoons and climbed up a few meters. look outside.

"They're down there." Nan Chen mouthed to the people below, and at the same time put his fingers on his lips, signaling for everyone to keep quiet.

He pointed to the other openings on the wall, and said with his mouth: "You can see it there too."

Zhang Yayi and Chu Ming looked at each other, they were extremely concerned about those cocoons, and their scalps felt numb just looking at them, let alone stepping on them.

Shen Qiu hesitated for a moment, then climbed up.

The remaining three did mental construction for a long time, but they still didn't dare to step on it.I couldn't help but regret secretly, what was I so curious about just now, if I didn't open it, it would be fine...

But now, as soon as they saw this thing, that miserable gray face immediately popped up in their minds, and it was really hard for them to stop.

Nan Chen didn't care about those few, and looked down intently.

Below is a large hole, obviously not formed naturally but excavated the day after tomorrow.The hole is not very high, but it is very big. It is at least as big as three football fields by visual inspection. There are nearly a hundred circular entrances evenly distributed around it, but there is not a single pillar in the middle, which is very unscientific.

There are at least three hundred players in the hole.

There are also countless big black ants, at least thousands by visual inspection.

The two sides are currently at a stalemate, because there is a very powerful guy among the human players.

He held a strange light whip in each of his hands, and when he waved it, he would emit a light pink light continuously. The ants seemed to be very afraid of those pink lights, and wherever the light whip went, the ants ran very fast.

Nan Chen saw a black ant unable to dodge in time, and was entangled by the light whip for a moment. The pink light was like a strong corrosive liquid, and it instantly melted away the flesh and blood of the black ant, leaving only a few hard lumps on the ground. carapace.

It seems that physical defense is completely useless against this pink light.

Very nice!Nan Chen squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, but it was a pity that she was too girly, the pink was so girlish.

Because of the two light whips constantly wandering around the human player, the ants are only densely surrounded for the time being, and they don't seem to plan to attack.

However, Nanchen saw that many players who had placed orders had already fallen into the hands of the big ants.The ants continuously spit out gray mud from their mouths, wrapping those immobile players inside.

Shen Qiu at the side suddenly turned around and took a few deep breaths.Then he looked down at the gray calluses under his feet, and his face became paler and paler.

"What's the matter, what did you see?" Chu Ming asked in a low voice, unable to restrain his curiosity.

"Trust me, you won't want to see it." Nan Chen muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the chaotic ant colony below.

Nan Chen took a closer look and found that dozens of ants appeared from the holes around him at some point.

These ants were taller than ordinary black ants, and Nan Chen immediately recognized that they were the ones he had ridden before.It seems that they are not only large in size, but also seem to be the little leaders of these ordinary black ants.

Because since their arrival, the attack of the black ants has become more orderly and efficient.While avoiding the light whip, the ants rushed in a group, and the players were split into two parts very quickly.

In this way, the man with the light whip could only care about part of it, while the other part was quickly submerged in the ants.

Nan Chen and Shen Qiu's expressions turned ugly.

If these human players fail, I'm afraid it will be their turn next.

The three people at the bottom saw that the faces of the two were not right, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter? What did you two see?"

Shen Qiu frowned and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "There are some bigger ants again, those players seem to be unable to withstand it."

The three of them became even more anxious when they heard it, and they all climbed up quickly without being afraid for a moment.

After watching for a while, I saw that the larger and stronger ants had divided the ant colony into dozens of groups, constantly dividing the human players, and as long as there were single ones, they would be immediately captured by the ants and transported to the rear.

The faces of Zhang Yayi and the others became paler and paler, Chu Ming was so anxious that he almost broke out in sweat.

Nan Chen's gaze kept on the later larger ants, and after looking at them for a while, he suddenly said, "I remember that the biology textbook once talked about the composition of the ant kingdom. The worker ants are responsible for working and collecting food, and the male ants are responsible for the maintenance of the ant kingdom. The queen is the queen, and the queen controls all the ants."

"It seems to be." Zhang Yayi nodded.

"Then do you think that the later ants are very much like drones, they are bigger and stronger, and can control and manage those ordinary worker ants." Nan Chen said.

"It's possible," Chu Ming asked in confusion, "but what's the use of knowing this?"

"I think we should follow the male ants." Nan Chen scanned the entire cave carefully, and whispered, "Maybe we can find the queen by following the male ants."

"That's right!" Shen Qiu said suddenly: "I think it's feasible. The male ants should be the closest to the queen, and the queen may not be good at attacking, so maybe he can find an opportunity."

"Then ignore these people below?" Chu Ming hesitated.

"We're only five people, what should we do?" Nan Chen took a good look at the terrain and jumped down, and then said with Chu Ming's words: "We don't call it saving people, it's called throwing ourselves into a trap." It's not right for him to leave when the time comes Difficult, the other four probably have to be compensated.

Shen Qiu agreed and said: "We can't save them now, why don't we try to kill the queen, maybe the ants will all scatter."

"But how do we get there with so many ants?" Chu Ming asked uncertainly.

Nan Chen thought for a while, and took out a dozen dark red balls the size of ping-pong balls from the space under the cover of his backpack, and said, "These ants seem to be more afraid of fire. Let's try with incendiary bombs."

"You actually have so many!" Chu Ming stared enviously at Nan Chen's hand and said, "We had one before, but unfortunately we used it up."

Nan Chen distributed the incendiary/incendiary bombs to the four of them, and said, "Shen Qiu, you saw the entrance of the cave where the male ants came over just now, right? After the ants are distracted, we will meet up there."

"Okay." Shen Qiu nodded.

There is no way, waiting passively in Skynet will only be cleared by the system, and they can only take risks.

"Oh, I'm going to work hard again, and I don't know if my brother will donate another kidney this time..." Chu Ming sighed.

"Isn't it just killing ants?" Nan Chen was amused by Chu Ming, and said, "I don't know how many ant nests I have brought since I was a child. Some were flooded, burned, poured with oil, and burned red." charcoal, and once poured a bucket of melted tin water into it.”

Chu Ming was dazed, and gave Nan Chen a thumbs up, "Young man, it's not easy for you not to be beaten to death by your parents."

My parents don't know where they are, Nan Chen smiled, "Let's go."

Now that the plan was made, the few of them didn't hesitate any longer. They touched an inconspicuous hole lightly, and then exchanged glances. Together, they counted silently three times in their hearts, and at the same time they held the incendiary/incendiary bomb hard. Throw it out.

The incendiary bombs drew several arcs in the air and fell towards the places where the big ants were densest.

The hearts of several people were raised high, and their eyes were fixed on those black balls without blinking.

However, at the moment when the incendiary bomb was about to fall into the ant colony, several leading male ants had already discovered the sudden strange sphere, and saw the tentacles on their heads flicking like long whips, twitching heavily. On the incendiary/incendiary bombs in the air.

Only a few slaps were heard, except for the nearest one that fell into the ant colony smoothly, the rest were all blown away and fell near the player.

One of them even flew back towards them quickly!
