Ant Forest

"Yi, are you sure you really don't want to eat it?" Xin was chewing something in his mouth, and he was able to talk to Lin Yi articulately.

Lin Yi stuffed a piece of plant root into his mouth. This thing is called grass taro. It is a plant root that grows in the mud like a potato, but it contains starch and sugar. It is hard and woody, and it can only Full stomach, no energy at all.

Lin Yi could only mobilize the energy in his body, crush the tubers directly in his mouth, and then swallowed with difficulty.Lin Yi laughed at himself, if Fan knew that he actually ate in this way, he would probably be so angry again.It's too expensive to waste energy in such a place.

"No." What the letter said was a small piece of jerky.This piece of jerky contains some very low-level energy. It is not easy for an abandoned ant like him to get such a small piece.It was impossible for Lin Yi to eat it, even if he was already hungry enough.

The adult ant's body really consumes a lot. Even if Lin Yi eats a lot of this kind of ordinary food, he will be hungry soon.

"Okay." Xin carefully put away the jerky, and he didn't put it in the tent, but kicked it into the small bag.This is an abandoned place, and the abandoned ants are no longer the simple, intimate and trustworthy companions they used to be.

Xin put away the jerky properly, and went to chew the bunch of beetles in his hand again, seeing Lin Yi's tentacles twitching.So what, it really looks like chicken, crunchy and crunchy.But Lin Yi doesn't have the courage and rough nerves to try it yet.

Hey, Lin Yi watched helplessly as a lump of black unknown objects suddenly squeezed out of the surviving buttocks of the beetle that was being ripped apart by Xin's mouth.

Depend on!Has the shit been chewed out by the letter?Lin Yi almost couldn't swallow what was in his mouth.How is it normal that this kind of thinking that even simple processing would be considered a waste?

However, Xin was indeed a real warrior. He just paused for a moment, then stopped chewing as usual, then bent his tentacles, flicked lightly, and the black unknown object was thrown out.With a tsk, Xin stuffed the remaining Beetle's butt into his mouth, and smirked at Lin Yi while chewing.

Lin Yi: "..." He felt that he might not be able to look directly at crustacean insects for a while.

Lin Yi lowered his head, took a bite of the taro, and chewed viciously.The sound of crunching and creaking sounded like grinding wood, Lin Yi didn't even need to use energy anymore, and directly turned grief and anger into strength.

After hastily finishing a drunken ant's breakfast, Lin Yi began to think about his way out.

Although Xin kindly borrowed his tent for the night, Lin Yi didn't intend to just stay with him all the time.He didn't know when he could go back, he had to settle down here first.

"Here." The letter handed Lin Yi a water bag made of leaves.

Lin Yi took it, took a sip, screwed the lid on, and returned the letter.

Xin shook the other water sacs, feeling a little distressed, "The water is almost gone, Yi, let's go hunting together today, and bring some water back by the way. By the way, we can also find some materials, and your tent needs to be set up." good."

Xin had completely calmed down, although Lin Yi had promised to help him find a way to get rid of the impurity energy in his body, but after the surprise, Xin quickly regained his senses.

The most urgent thing is to help Lin Yi settle down first. He can see that Lin Yi is very independent, and he is not the kind of ant who just wants to take advantage of him. Such an ant is also respected by Xin.

Lin Yi nodded, he was not familiar with this place at all, and with the help of Xin Xin, an ant who knows the way, he would not be blinded.

Lin Yi followed the letter out of the tent.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, Lin Yi almost tripped over, and managed to stabilize his body. Lin Yi looked down and saw that there were several ants lying on the ground!

Xin quickly noticed these obstacles on the ground, and his face immediately turned ugly, "Why are you here again? Didn't you say not to appear in front of my tent casually?"

The ants on the ground woke up in a daze. At first, Lin Yi thought that these ants were deliberately stuck here to find trouble, but he didn't expect that they were sleeping here, and they were very leisurely.

"Oh, Xin, you've come out, do you have something to eat?" an abandoned ant that looked like the leader muttered to the channel.

"No!" Xin shouted angrily.

"We know you have." These ants immediately showed a flattering look on their faces, "Look, you brought home irrelevant ants, so it doesn't matter if you give us something to eat?"

"Get out!" Xin kicked out, kicking the talking ant to somersaults several times in a row.

"Hey, you..." The ant that was kicked out wanted to pester him again, but saw Xin's ugly face, shrunk his neck embarrassingly, and said stiffly, "I am the husband of Queen Ailu, you treat me like this now. Me, wait for the queen to take me back to the lair, and see how I deal with you!"

"Let's talk about it after your queen comes to pick you up!" Xin's tone was bad, obviously this kind of thing didn't happen once or twice.

In fact, he was also soft-hearted at the beginning, so he gave these ants food.In the end, the more generous he was, the more he was wronged. Those ants took him for a fool and took advantage of him.

So Xin learned to be smart, and he got upset and annoyed him, so he beat him first, and within a few days, the ants hated and feared him, and when they saw him, they met with mice cat.

But there are always a few ants who don't believe in evil, and they will challenge Xin's patience from time to time.

Seeing Lin Yi's puzzled gaze, Xin explained, "The food that the nest distributes to the Lost Land is limited, and most of them are taken by the strong ants. Some ants don't get enough food, and they don't want to go hunting by themselves. , so they will always use some informal methods.”

Lin Yi thought to himself, do they still dare to steal into the tent?

As if understanding Lin Yi's thoughts, Xin continued, "They don't dare to enter the tents of ordinary strong men. Once they are discovered, they may be killed."

Lin Yi frowned, the abandoned ants are no longer true companions.

Lin Yi sighed, "Why don't they want to go out?"

Xin just looked at Lin Yi with an expression that you understand, "The kings are all taken care of by special worker ants."

So they are used to stretching out their hands for food and opening their mouths. After being beaten back to their original form, they can't accept the facts. Maybe they have been raised, so they don't bother to do it themselves?

No matter what kind of past these ants have, they are just abandoned ants now.

After Xin closed the tent, his tent was considered to have a relatively high security level, and no ants dared to really offend him.

Then Xin led Lin Yi out of the big nest.

This nest room seems to be separated by an ant nest and abandoned. Of course, it also has a separate entrance and exit.

Lin Yi came to the ground, took a deep breath, and then felt alive, the ground was too depressing.

"Let's go." Xin greeted Lin Yi and took him to the hunting place they used to go to.

Lin Yi took a rough look. This place should be the back of the valley, and the terrain is very high. There are not many huge trees, but bare rocks and many low bushes.

But probably because of the rainy season, a lot of tender grass and small flowers grew on the ground. The colorful flowers and soft green made Lin Yi's restless heart calm down very quickly.

"Hey! Yi, what are you looking at? Hurry up and come here." Xin has already climbed onto a small flower, even if there are only flowers and plants here, they are still huge enough for Lin Yi.

"Shua la." Something came towards him.

Lin Yi stretched out his tentacles to pick it up, and it turned out to be a honey bud.

"Yi, have you eaten this thing? It's delicious." Xin lay on a leaf and waved a honey bud to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, how could he not eat it?But he grew up eating this.

Lin Yi pulled out a flower tube and took a deep breath, only to feel the sweetness in his heart.Although the separation time was short, he still missed Sheng.

"Haha, and this!" Xin threw away the buds that he had sucked clean, and began to throw the edible parts of the plant on the ground.Buds, leaf tips, stamens, he had to seize this precious time and hoard more food.

Lin Yi helped Xin collect these scattered things, and he also found a few targets himself, managed to catch a few nectar-sucking bugs, handled them carefully, and ate some fresh food.

However, there are too few prey with energy here, and even plants with energy are pitifully few.Lin Yi's eyes were shining brightly, which was the expression of his energy concentrated in the eyes.Relying on this, Lin Yi managed to catch two more low-level prey and a low-level caterpillar plant, and finally ate half full.

With strength in his body, Lin Yi can concentrate more and hunt better food. This is also a virtuous circle.However, probably because the place is relatively barren and not far from the ant nest, it is a pity that Lin Yi did not find intermediate or high-level prey.

Not feeling hungry anymore, Lin Yi purposefully collected some materials for building a tent under Xin's guidance. Within two days, a new crooked tent was erected next to Xin's tent.

Although it's not very good-looking, Lin Yi is quite satisfied. He has a new place to live, and he doesn't have to bother to believe it all the time.

Lin Yi also hunted a velvet weed, and Lin Yi weaved its soft velvet into a blanket, and then spread some dry grass, which became a comfortable bed.

Staying in his tent, Lin Yi regained his human form and fell down on the small bed.The velvet grass silk was soft and warm, and Lin Yi stretched out her healthy and fair body although she wasn't strong enough.Although this blanket was ridiculed by Xin as a woman, Lin Yi still liked it very much.

Lin Yi closed his eyes. After working for two days, he was tired. He wanted to take a good rest in human form. Even if it was a waste of energy, he was used to it.This is a habit he has stubbornly kept, and it can be regarded as the only commemoration of his previous life.

However, when he slept until midnight, Lin Yi vaguely felt something heavy on his chest, making him a little out of breath.

What was even worse was that a pair of strong and powerful arms hugged his waist tightly, making him even more out of breath.

Lin Yi was about to explode, but the familiar and reassuring smell coming from the tip of his nose immediately made him unable to resist at all, and then his lips were blocked by hot softness...

"Hmm..." Lin Yi was half asleep and half awake, his lips parted slightly, and he was driven straight in. A soft object turned upside down in his mouth, almost sucking out Lin Yi's last breath.

Do you still want to breathe?Lin Yi was furious.
