The soldier ants stopped the protagonist, and the protagonist had no choice but to obey the orders. After all, strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes, and the protagonist was not here to cause trouble this time. What's more, the other party is very respectful to him emotionally, which makes the protagonist unable to get angry.
A soldier ant in the patrol quickly crawled back to the nest, not forgetting to leave special pheromones along the way. She quickly got into one of the holes.
After observing the protagonist closely, he discovered that there are dozens of entrances and exits on the mound castle of the main nest, all over the mound. Only the largest hole at the top was letting out black smoke.
The soldier ant that left just now was obviously looking for their male ant, the king. Not long after, a male ant without wings hurriedly crawled out of an obviously larger hole in the middle of the mound with more than ten soldier ants, reading pheromones along the way to find a path, while quickly heading towards the ant. The protagonist's position moves.
When they got closer, the male ants in the main nest could already see the protagonist team of the wretched group and the patrol team of soldier ants in the main nest. At this time, pheromones are no longer needed.
The main nest male ant quickly crawled in front of the protagonist, intersected with the protagonist's tentacles, and started communicating.
"Young king who is not yet married, why did you come to the main nest? It is not the time for you to fly before marriage?" the male ant from the main nest asked doubtfully.
Wedding flight?
This problem is completely inconsistent with the protagonist's preconceived ideas. The protagonist quickly called the little secretary over and asked her: "Do you come to the main nest only if you want to get married?"
"Yes!" the little secretary replied cheerfully: "The wedding flight is so spectacular. Countless kings and queens from countless nests will gather here. There are kings and queens everywhere!" A worker ant can actually show such joy. , and gossip...
Why are you gathering here? **? The protagonist has some malicious conjectures. Anyway, I won't get involved.
He just asked with some annoyance: "Then you didn't tell me the reason why everyone came to the deputy nest before."
"You never asked me!" A burst of innocent emotions came over the little secretary. You still act pitiful!
"Can you please be more proactive in the future? I have to ask before telling you anything!" The protagonist said, almost forgetting that the other party was just an ant.
"What is initiative?"
"..."
In the end, the protagonist, who was defeated by the innocent little secret, finally remembered the male ant that he had left alone.
"Uh, do I have the right to come to the main nest?" the protagonist asked cautiously, even though Lao Wang had said before that he had this right. But what if the ants in the capital discriminate against low-end immigrants? Don't be kicked out by the capital before you see the fire. You still have to be careful. After all, you don't even have a temporary residence permit.
This main nest male ant has a good temper and is not annoyed by the protagonist and the secret whispering for a long time. Note that whispering here is a descriptive word. This word is very appropriate to describe the way the ants communicate with each other by intersecting their tentacles.
The male ant in the main nest replied: "You have this right, what are you doing in the main nest?"
"I want to see the fire." The protagonist replied honestly. Anyway, if he wanted to go to the fire, he couldn't hide it from the ubiquitous main nest ants, so it was better to be more direct. Ants are all idiots anyway.
"Huo, who is the king of your deputy nest?"
"Old Wang, do you know him?"
"I know him." The main nest male ant replied: "Why is Lao Wang so angry with the unmarried flying king?"
"I know it myself..." The protagonist felt that he still couldn't drag Lao Wang into the water. Judging from the tone of the male ant in the main nest, he might not be able to mention the fire to other ants casually.
"How do you know?" The nest-main male ant asked questions one after another like the police. The protagonist decided to simply call him a police officer.
Why not call the police? Because I am worried that this is a sensitive word, if it is not displayed, readers will have to guess. If they can't guess, the author will have to announce the answer in the announcement, and the number of words in the announcement is not counted... As for the police, This is still a place name, so it probably won’t be harmonized.
The protagonist didn't know how to answer the question asked by the police. Lao Wang knew that he had answered this way before and never asked it again. What would happen if you answered "What do you think?" Don't throw yourself into the fire and burn yourself to death. Didn't the little secretary say that there were kings and queens who were burned to death?
In the end, the protagonist thought about it for a long time and had to answer: "God told me..." I don't know if this answer can pass the test. Anyway, ants have gods and they can also worship gods. It's not wrong to move out this great god, right? Do you still have to play the role of being possessed by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother? .
The policeman immediately became solemn: "God told you?"
"Yes, it was in a dream." At this time, the protagonist no longer cares about using more lies to make up for the first lie. It would be like lying if you said that you had used it in your previous life.
"Dream? I know about dreams. Only kings and queens can dream." The policeman said, "Did God tell you about fire in your dream?"
His tone actually became respectful: "Follow me, king, we need to go to see the oldest king!"
Damn, the protagonist is really powerless to complain now. Forget about Wang and Lao Wang, here comes Lao Wang. Can you come up with something new in naming me? At this time, the protagonist has forgotten how good he is at naming other ants.
The protagonist doesn't care about meeting the oldest king, who is just an ant. Why should he be nervous?
"What about my subordinates?" The protagonist only took two steps to follow, but found that the little secretary and the others were still blocked outside.
Only then did the police notice the protagonist's subordinates, especially the strange soldier ants carrying vehicles.
"They were taken by the patrol for placement."
"That won't work. They have to follow me. At least I will take them to resettle them." What the protagonist thinks is that without him, the other ants wouldn't even be able to dismantle the vehicle. They can't let the soldier ants carry it all the time. Although Xiaomi has learned the second sword for a while, he is still not able to master it.
"It's very important to meet the oldest king..." The police are still trying to convince the protagonist, but the protagonist firmly refuses. In the end, the police compromised and let the patrol team lead the way, and everyone went to settle the protagonist's team members first. The patrol led the protagonist into the ground through the lowest entrance of the hill castle.
There are also many fluorescent bacteria underground here, providing the most basic lighting. The passage is very spacious, even wider than the main passage of the secondary nest where the protagonist was born. And this is just one of the ten exits at the bottom of the hill castle. After all, it is a large-scale main nest and requires a large number of channels to undertake the functions of ant traffic and air circulation.
The protagonist and the others were taken to a large nest very close to the entrance of the cave. There was nothing in the nest except fluorescent fungi. Here, the protagonist dismantled the vehicle and luggage and ordered the secretaries and others to wait where they were. Then, at the urging of the police, he left, preparing to meet Lao Wang.
