Ant Forest

The young ants were all shocked and speechless.

"Me, what should we do now?" Ao suddenly asked with a sad face.

Lin Yi also sighed, the outside environment is beautiful, but it is obvious that they are trapped.

"We can only wait for the water level to subside by itself." Lin Yi said helplessly.

"But there's so much water, when will it finish? Besides, the rainy season is still a long time away. If it keeps raining, then we..." At this point, all the young ants were blue-faced, and they didn't even think about it. Way to imagine what their future holds!

The worries of the young ants are not unreasonable. If they are really going to be trapped here until the rainy season is over, it will be really bad.

"Oh, what are you afraid of?" Eight Eyes thumped his chest, "What can we do now? Let nature take its course."

Eight Eyes tried its best to ease the atmosphere, but the young ants were still very disappointed.

"The stinky spider is right." Lin Yi interjected, "We can't do anything now, why don't we just relax and think about what to do next. Now, let's see what we can do."

"Okay." The young ants finally cheered up.

Seeing that Lin Yi casually said a few words, it worked so well, curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice that you don't appreciate that Mr. Spider is so kind, and Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him.

The inside of the crack has been organized, and they don't know how long it will take, so food is the most important thing.Fortunately, they brought sticky fruit, which wrapped the tree worm and kept it for a long time.

In this way, the young ants were desperately turning their brains, while hoping that the water outside would recede as soon as possible.

The sky did not fulfill the ant's wish, seeing that the rain stopped all morning, and at noon, it started to rain again.

The water on the ground has accumulated higher, and the water surface is only three or four meters away from their crack.

Lin Yi guarded the crack nervously. He saw many animals, insects, and even some plants struggling in the water.

But he can't do anything, neither can save them, nor can he save himself, all he can do is wait.

On the third day, they finally ran out of food.

Even if the young ants save more, those few tree worms will be eaten up soon.

"No, we can't continue to sit and wait for death." Yao said with a serious face. After these three days of cultivation, his legs are almost healed. "If we continue like this, we will be exhausted. Once there is no energy Supplementing food will only make us weaker and weaker, and I absolutely cannot accept that kind of death!"

The young ants looked at each other and saw firmness in each other's eyes.

Lin Yi also understood that he couldn't stop the young ants.

They finally decided to go hunting in the rain. No ant had ever done this before. It was too dangerous and crazy.

Lin Yi sighed, and could only tell them not to stay too far from the crack, and not to get too close to the treetops.

Lin Yi even squeezed out a lot of bead silk from the eight eyes. These spider silks have almost lost their stickiness after being wet, but they are still very tough, which can be used as a safety rope for young ants.

Eight Eyes has now been reduced to a poor eater, so he can only contribute obediently.No way, who made his spider web completely useless in rainy days?According to his habit, he should stockpile the food needed for the rainy season early at this time, and then find a safe and warm cave, and live happily until the rain stops.But now the sudden rain disrupted his plan, and he couldn't go back to his original lair.

Thinking that there are still a lot of his beloved food in the lair, Eight Eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. I don't know if the food will still be there after he goes back, will it be broken?Will it be stolen?

Lin Yi tied the spider silk around her body, took advantage of the time when the rain stopped, and carefully descended the tree with a few young ants.

He noticed early on that the sudden rain caught many creatures by surprise. They were unprepared, and those who were unlucky were even washed away by the water.

He only needs to catch some insects or edible plants from the water to keep them going.

Some of the prey struggling in the water were not even dead, but just dying, which just gave Lin Yi a chance.

"Wow! Oh, look what I picked up?" Ao suddenly shouted excitedly.

"What?" Lin Yi moved his eyes from the water surface to Ao, who was hanging less than half a meter away from the water surface. Once the water surface churned, or something suddenly attacked him, he might be caught immediately. swallowed up.

"A piece of fruit! We have some fruit to eat." Ao maintained that extremely dangerous posture, half-clutched on the tree, and shook the fruit in his upper jaw at Lin Yi.

"Be careful!" Lin Yi's heart was in his throat, and the place where Ao was holding was also very slippery, Lin Yi was afraid of any accidental landslide accident.

"It's okay, don't worry." Ao's tentacles swayed towards Lin Yi triumphantly, and then he carefully climbed up with the fruit, and quickly left the dangerous area.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

The next thing was very boring, Lin Yi was hanging firmly on the tree trunk, waiting for the prey to "fall into the net". Unfortunately, except for the fruit that Ao picked up, Lin Yi didn't come across any good things.

He only picked up a few rotten grasses and a few pieces of bird feathers. The other young ants were worse than Lin Yi. They only picked up some branches and leaves scraped from the trees, which were useless at all.Bird feathers can also be used to pave the floor or something.

The water flow under the tree became a little faster, and the water level was also lowering. Some insects that had been washed into a daze passed in front of them, but it was a pity that Lin Yi and the others couldn't reach them at all.

The raindrops started to fall again, Lin Yi and the others had no choice but to give up.

"Maybe we can go up." The young ants suggested.

"No!" Lin Yi resolutely refused this time.

The creatures on the top of the tree are too dangerous. Lin Yi can feel the huge energy released from their bodies from such a distance. These young ants probably aren't enough to stuff their teeth.

"Then what should I do?" The young ants were annoyed.

"I'll go!" Lin Yi said firmly.

"Yi!" The young ants were terrified, "Yi, don't be impulsive, at worst we won't go, we will wait by the water, there will always be prey washed by the water."

"That's right." Eight Eyes also said, "Little ant, with your small body, it's not enough for a big bird to eat one by one, so don't go out to join in the fun." Eight Eyes persuaded.

It's a pity that Lin Yi has made up his mind, he can feel the danger in advance, and he won't go to high-risk places, so there won't be any serious problems.

Lin Yi finally convinced everyone. After confirming the length and tenacity of the spider silk on his body, he headed towards the top of the tree.

Soon Lin Yi felt a lot of energy bodies, large and small.

The biggest one was a huge unknown creature, at least ten meters long, occupying the best position of this big tree.The remaining bits and pieces are probably not easy to provoke.

Lin Yi would not be so stupid as to attack those creatures, his tentacles trembled slightly in the air, and soon he found his target.

Lin Yi gradually climbed up along the cracked bark of the trunk, and soon, he stopped again, tapping on the bark with his tentacles.The place where the bark was split was several meters wide, which was still a big obstacle for Lin Yi, but his goal was not to cross it.

Lin Yi lowered his head, his physical energy turned, and his upper jaw suddenly plunged into the bark, and he kicked up hard!

"Hiss!" As if the sound of paper being torn, Lin Yi had already lifted the piece of bark.And under the bark, curled up a white and tender bug.

The worm suddenly saw the light, and panicked all of a sudden.It's a pity that it was too late to make any resistance. A terrible jaw clamped it, and no matter how hard it struggled, it was useless.

Lin Yi brought back a worm, even if the worm didn't have much energy in its body, it was enough to make the young ants happy.Lin Yi proved his ability with facts, and the young ants finally believed that he was not lying.

The next thing will be easy to handle. Lin Yi first carefully went up the tree to detect the existence of the prey, and then the young ants formed a team to get the prey back. Even if they encountered sudden rain occasionally, they were just wet in embarrassment , or lost their prey, there was no major problem.

It's just that they are not only short of food, some other animals are also beginning to face hunger.

Lin Yi once saw a big bird like a woodpecker, but it was many times bigger than the one he had seen before.The bird must have been starved, there was too much rain, and almost all of its prey had been hidden or gone, so it stood on the tree trunk, pecked at the tree with its beak, and quickly picked out some of its prey. Just another bug.

It even hit the crack where the young ants were hiding once, Lin Yi was afraid that the bird would drag them out of the crack and eat them.

Fortunately, the crack was deep enough. When the bird hit the crack, it only stretched its beak tentatively in, and then left soon.

The huge beak frightened the young ants so much that it took a lot of effort not to scream. Eight Eyes was even more frightened. He seemed to have seen his own kind being eaten by a big bird, and his body was shaking all the time.

"Mom!" As soon as the big bird left, the eight eyes immediately jumped up with lingering fear, "When Uncle Spider is more capable, I must hunt a bird and eat eighty of them!"

However, this unlucky situation did not happen again. After storing some food, the young ants did not let Lin Yi go out again. The tree was too dangerous.

The rain stopped for an unprecedented two days, the dark clouds that had never disappeared also dispersed, and the sun showed its face from inside the clouds.

Lin Yi lay on the surface of the water, dipped some water on her tentacles and washed her face.As soon as the rain stopped, the water under the tree became very clear, and Lin Yi could even see the grass at the bottom of the water and the sand that washed over from nowhere.There were even some fish swimming under the water. He also saw huge frogs and various aquatic creatures. There are indeed many magical species in this world.

The water surface in front of Lin Yi suddenly fluctuated, and the shadow of the young ant washing his face in front of him became mottled and broken.

Raising his head, Lin Yi looked into the distance, and suddenly a green leaf floated towards him.

Lin Yi stood up and took a closer look. Compared with other leaves that floated motionless on the water, this leaf that could move was really abnormal.

"Oh!" A familiar voice came to Lin Yi's ears, "Be careful! Did you manage it like this?" The leaf suddenly spun around in place.

Lin Yi opened his mouth wide and raised his tentacles.

"Hey! Little ghost over there, can you see us?" Suddenly a tall grass stalk stood up and shook on the leaves.

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and the leaves were getting closer and closer. He seemed to have seen Fan, who was shaking a blade of grass at him.It seemed that Lin Yi had seen them, and the shaking was a little stronger.

Then, standing next to Fan is—Sheng!

"Wow." Lin Yi just fell into the water.
