Ant Forest

"What, what?" Fan Zheng rubbed those precious boxes repeatedly, and the exclamation of the soldier ant was too loud, so he asked casually.

Lin Yi was also pulling out a fungus with long hyphae, gnawing on it like a finger biscuit, and couldn't sit still when he heard the sound, so he quickly got up and ran to the tree hole.

Then Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

I saw a group of dense things flying in the sky suddenly. Those things seemed to appear suddenly, and all the ants who were still looking for rotten tree insects on the tree were caught off guard.

Sheng's face suddenly changed, "Quick! Block up the entrance of the cave, otherwise we are all doomed!"

Before Lin Yi could ask any more questions, his body had already moved like all the soldier ants.

They immediately moved the dead branches and fallen leaves in the tree hole to the hole, and they didn't care about the three sevens and 21, and they desperately stuffed them into the hole.

Lin Yi had just stuffed a few leaves when the alarm bells rang in his mind. Without thinking, he pushed a soldier ant in front of him to the side, and then a long, cold thorn appeared. In front of him, rubbing his forehead stopped.

If he had reacted a little slower, then the soldier ant in front of him would have been pierced by the needle, and then nailed into his body hard, skewering the two of them into a skewer!

Lin Yi's scalp went numb, and cold sweat broke out.

The soldier ant who was pushed away by Lin Yi also looked scared, and then stammered to thank Lin Yi.He was not optimistic about Lin Yi's coming to their team at first, but this young ant not only made great achievements repeatedly, but now it even saved his life. The soldier ant felt extremely ashamed of his previous psychology.

Suddenly, the needle pierced through the dead leaves made a terrible "sizzling" sound, and then the large overlapping leaves were quickly corroded by the venom on the needles to form a small hole.

Soldier Ant and Lin Yi sweated more on their foreheads, and the two ants couldn't help but look at each other, secretly thankful.

"Xiaoyi!" Sheng's voice changed. He was far away before and didn't know what happened just now. Now that he took a look, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.

"Are you okay?" Sheng strode over, pulled Lin Yi to his side, and looked him up and down.

Lin Yi quickly wrapped the tentacles around Sheng's tentacles that were groping around him, "It's okay, it's really okay."

Sheng confirmed that Lin Yi was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Lin Yi away from here, "Don't get so close there, it's dangerous."

The soldier ant left in the dangerous area by an ant almost cried, he is also in danger, okay?Why didn't the ants care about him?

Fortunately, the temporary gate was only attacked by a needle sprayed out by something unknown, and it was not attacked again afterwards.Although the gate was still shaky, it was much safer.

The soldier ants quietly wiped off their sweat. If they were still outside at this time, the result would be unimaginable.

Lin Yi took a breath, and asked with lingering fear, "What are those outside?"

Sheng touched Lin Yi's head, and after repeatedly confirming that his little thing was really all right, he hugged Lin Yi and explained in a low voice.

"Rebellion?" Lin Yi opened his mouth wide.

"The betrayal of the stinging bee." Sheng walked to the gate, stretched out his upper jaw, and gently pulled out the poisonous needle.

Lin Yi's heart was in his throat, what if Sheng was pierced?That's poisonous.

"Let me explain to you." Fan cleared his throat,?Before Sheng could explain to Lin Yi, he quickly opened his mouth.

"All you saw just now were the females in the stinging beehive. Of course, the males sometimes hide in it quietly." Fan paused, seeing that Sheng didn't intend to interrupt him, and continued, "Once The queen in the hive is old, or injured, and has less control over the nest, and will not be able to restrain the females in the nest."

"At this time, there is a high possibility of mutiny in the nest. Because without the queen's blessing, it is impossible for females to have reproductive functions, so at this time, they will..."

"What will it be?" Seeing Fan stopped here suddenly, Lin Yi was a little anxious.

"It will eat the queen." Fan's throat moved and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Gudong." Lin Yi and the soldier ants swallowed together.

There was a sudden silence in the tree hole, and the soldier ants were very depressed.Loyalty to the queen and devotion to the nest have long been engraved in their bones. When they suddenly heard that the stinging bee dared to do such a thing, everyone's hearts were very complicated.

"Then do they also need rotten tree worms?" Lin realized this key question.

"That's right." Fan nodded, his eyes fell on a few boxes, and he felt a little regretful, "It seems that we only have such a small harvest this year, what a pity." Fan sighed.

"Damn! We've got so many this year, aren't you satisfied? If you got two before, who would jump for joy?" The soldier ants only dared to slander silently in their hearts.

Lin Yi also felt that it was a bit rare. He didn't understand how difficult it is to form rotten tree worms, and how much effort it took to catch them.

He always felt that there were only a few of them that were not good-looking, and when he looked at Sheng again, they just went back like this, is it really easy to explain?

However, Lin Yi just struggled for a while, and stopped thinking about it. He began to picture the appearance of the stinging bee that he just vaguely saw in his mind.The body is huge, the mouthparts are hideous, and the needles on the buttocks are terrible.After thinking about it, he didn't have any suitable way to deal with it. It is estimated that they can only wait here dryly, waiting for the stinging bees to leave.

However, there are so many of them, it is estimated that there will be no rotting tree worms left.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard something rustling.It should be that the stinging bees started to rummage through the bark.

Lin Yi's heart was lifted fiercely, and they kept their mouths tightly shut without making a sound.It can be seen that the "luckiness" of their team is also quite high to encounter such a small probability of stinging bees defecting.

I don't know what happened to the ants outside.Obviously their doors have been opened several times, Lin Yi was distracted and worried about the people outside.

But at this moment, the second ant team that was also hiding in the tree hole was just in shock.

"Boss, boss!" The voices of the soldier ants changed.

The head of the ant also wiped off his cold sweat, "Is the entrance blocked? Don't let them have a chance to come in."

"It's blocked, it's blocked." The soldier ant replied tremblingly.

Suddenly, Ant scanned all his silent teammates and asked hoarsely, "Did you notice anything unusual at that time?"

There was an embarrassing silence in the air, and the soldier ants all lowered their heads, their antennae stretched out, looking listless.

None of them had anything to say, they didn't notice anything.

Does this mean that the team of ants has already reached that level?The soldier ants were ashamed.

The ant leader sighed, and stared blankly at the box he carefully placed on the ground. At least they caught one and returned to the nest, which was not considered a failure of the task.

The ants in the tree hole are waiting, but the ants outside the tree hole are not so lucky.

They became the first target of the stinging bee, and the stinging bee chose to attack them without hesitation, no matter whether they found the rotting tree worm team or not.

They could only choose to escape in a panic.

With luck, they quickly found a place to hide and plunged into it.

If you are unlucky, you will either be directly torn apart by the stinging bee, or fall off the big tree, and you will not die or be disabled.Of course, the lucky guys can also take the rotten tree worms they caught with great difficulty and escape in the chaos.

But that kind of lucky guy is still a minority after all, and most of the ants still suffered.

They would never have imagined that such a simple, extremely ordinary task that could be accomplished with a little caution would actually cost them their lives.The reality is so cruel.

In this world, no one can predict what will happen in the next second.

After the outside calmed down completely, Lin Yi and the others carefully removed the branches and leaves blocking the entrance.

After walking out of the tree hole, Lin Yi took a small breath.

The big tree that was very lively before became quiet now, and Lin Yi only felt that it was just his illusion that so many ants gathered on this tree before.

But the traces here are clearly telling everything about the past.

Lin Yi looked under the tree, and there were many corpses of ants and stinging bees lying quietly below. The ants obviously did not sit still and resisted sharply.Soon, the scavengers who heard the sound quietly showed their minions.

The corpses were quickly cleaned up. They are nature's scavengers. In the end, these things will not leave even a trace.

Sheng narrowed his eyes, walked to a branch, and pulled out something with his upper jaw.

"Sheng, what are you doing with these things?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

What Sheng pulled out was a poisonous thorn.

"This thing is still useful." Sheng carefully looked for the thorns left on the tree by the stinging bees.

Lin Yi also started to help find it.Because of the many needles in their bodies, those guys shot one after another, without saving at all, but it was cheaper for them to stay.

Fan Gan simply asked the soldiers and ants to help him find it. If he brought this thing to the priest, he might be able to make something great.

Finally, just as they were sweeping, an ant suddenly emerged from a tree hole.

Then several more came out of the hole one after another, they were the members of the second team.

Lin Yi and the others looked over blankly, thinking that there were no ants alive.

Their appearance was like a signal, and soon, those lucky ants all showed their faces.

The number really cannot be compared with that at the beginning, but at least they are still alive and they are all saved.
