In the sky and on the ground, group mating behaviors that should have been called rituals, but in reality were extremely brutal, were being performed everywhere. Only the strongest, most agile, smartest and luckiest males and females can mate with as little damage as possible.
As more and more queen ants that were first fertilized flew into the shelter established by the King's Guards, the remaining female ants still at the ceremony site were in greater and greater danger. They would be accidentally injured by the fiercely fighting male ants. It is also possible that after a mating is completed, one may be entangled again before escaping into the shelter, or one may be exhausted before the ceremony ends and be in a dangerous situation.
At this time, the protagonist's eyes did not turn to the scene of the fierce competition for mating rights. He looked to the east side of the hill castle. A magical intuition suddenly made him turn his head and rush in that direction.
Over there, the patrol ants who were on guard outside suddenly made some commotion. A group of foreign ants broke into the encirclement. Although there was no fight, they were blocked from the ceremony site and seemed extremely anxious. Some male ants inside even wanted to flap their wings and fly directly, but were forced to stop by the threatening signal sent by the leader of the patrol, Wang.
Get rid of them! Although the protagonist is very far away and cannot see the identity of the other party clearly, a strong intuition tells him that it is the companion born in the same nest that he has been waiting for for several days.
The protagonist left a small pit where he had been hiding to watch the battle, and quickly climbed toward the northeast at a high speed of three centimeters per second.
On the way, the protagonist carefully avoids the dead bodies or half-dead struggling ants.
For some reason, a dazed male ant with its wings torn off suddenly attacked the protagonist passing by and bit the protagonist's right rear segment. The protagonist looked back and was startled. He hurriedly shook his legs and actually threw the sneak attack male ant away several centimeters.
The protagonist was stunned for a moment. He had never personally participated in a battle before, and he didn't expect that he was so strong. However, I heard that all ants are strong men, able to lift objects 400 times more than their own weight, and can also drag objects 1,700 times more than their own weight. Maybe this kind of strength is normal.
Just as the protagonist was stunned, the male ant approached unyieldingly, baring its teeth and claws. The protagonist doesn't want to get into a meaningless fight. He just wants to run to the east to see if they are coming, and at the same time prevent them from participating in this bloody ritual with a high casualty rate.
The protagonist took the initiative to extend his tentacles to the other party, wanting to communicate. As a result, the other party was the first to convey bloodthirsty and aggressive emotions: "Wings...you have wings...I'm going to tear your wings off." Just when the protagonist felt the soft and hard hairs all over his body tightening, the other party had already come over, The large claws on the upper jaw firmly clamped the protagonist's pair of tentacles, and the forelimbs stepped on the protagonist's head, trying to suppress the protagonist and climb onto the protagonist's back.
The ant's tentacles are equivalent to human noses and hands, and are important sensory organs. The protagonist's tentacles were pinched tightly by the opponent's large claws. It hurt so much that he wanted to scream, but the protagonist, who had no vocal cords, could only open his mouth wide. Silent cry of pain. The pain of having his tentacles clamped and the humiliation of his head being stepped on finally made the protagonist go berserk. When did I actually end up being bullied by an ant?
"F*ck!" The protagonist yelled in his heart. He supported the opponent's claws with his two forelimbs, and with a hard force, the upper jaw of the opponent's claws was actually separated. You know, the bite force of ants is extremely strong. In some areas, ants are used instead of sutures for suture surgeries, but now they are easily pushed away by the protagonist. The protagonist didn't notice these abnormalities. He was so angry that he easily pulled the opponent off his body, and used a common human fighting action - hug and throw to knock the opponent down. God knows how the protagonist suddenly became blessed. used the six-legged body of an ant to perform such a difficult action. The opponent was stunned by the sudden counterattack and cowered and wanted to retreat. The protagonist was already on his head at this time, rushed over to grab the opponent's hind limbs, and flicked him hard. He saw the opponent's body fly lightly in the air for several decimeters and landed on the ground.
Ants are small and will be fine even if they fall from a high place. After the male ant landed on the ground, he ran away, losing the momentum he had during the sneak attack.
The protagonist won his first fight since becoming an ant, and he turned defeat into victory. He was in a good mood and continued to climb forward. This time, no blind male ants came to provoke him again.
The protagonist confirmed with excitement that the small team that was blocked was them. Rambowan, Rambotu, Ramborui, Rambofo, Rambofei, and Ramboser were all there. There were three in total. Twelve male ants, one female ant, and more than fifty soldier ants and worker ants, it is really a large team.
They were blocked outside the ceremony. At this time, more kings and soldier ants surrounded them, preventing them from entering the ceremony site.
The protagonist squeezed through the blockade of soldier ants from the inside out, and excitedly greeted Gun and Rambo one by one.
Gun and the others, who were confronting the security guard ants and communicating intensely with their tentacles, suddenly saw the protagonist, and their emotions of surprise and concern were conveyed to them.
The protagonist simply confirmed that they were fine, and then said to Gun: "Don't go to this ceremony, it's too easy to get hurt!"
As a result, Gun felt very aggrieved and insisted that he must participate in this ceremony. Other male ants also came close to express that they had rushed all the way here just to participate in the wedding flight.
Seeing their persistence, the protagonist thought that the ceremony was already in the second half and if they joined in, he would have an obvious physical advantage, so he decided to ask them for help.
As a result, the protagonist encountered a lot of problems with several kings in charge of security. All the kings said that the ceremony had begun and the members of this team had lost their qualifications.
At this time, a king came here with his subordinates. Apparently the commotion here attracted the attention of the other side of the hill. The protagonist met the king during the king's meeting, and he was beside the police at that time.
The protagonist hurried over to help them get through the matter, but before the message was conveyed, the other party spoke first: "King of Divine Envoys, the turmoil here has disturbed your ceremony."
The protagonist quickly said it didn't matter. The other party said again: "I am very happy to see that you are in good health."
The protagonist had no choice but to chime in, thinking that I haven't even entered the competition yet, so of course I'm fine.
The impatient and eager-to-talk king spoke again: "This team crashed into the ceremony site and disturbed your ceremony. I will give them the punishment they deserve!"
"Hey, don't, I wasn't disturbed." The protagonist was startled: "How are you going to punish them?"
The other party thought for a moment: "If you are willing, you can sentence them to death at the stake."
"Fuck, don't, can I pardon them?" The protagonist is anxious. Why is this king so unreasonable? He will be burned at the stake.
"As long as they no longer violate the ceremony, they will not be punished. If they fail to catch up with the ceremony, they have lost their qualifications." The king answered righteously.
The protagonist has no choice. Even if he doesn't participate in the ceremony, he won't be hurt, and he doesn't have to be burned on the rack. As for their strong desire to continue the family lineage, the protagonist has little experience.
The protagonist couldn't bear to tell Gun and the others the news in person, so he had to ask the king (the protagonist decided to call him the judge, which was too unwilling to change) to tell Gun the bad news.
When they learned the bad news one by one, their heads lowered, their tentacles hanging on the ground, listlessly.
The protagonist was about to go over to comfort them, but he saw that many soldier ants had obtained the king's instructions, crawled behind them one by one, and bit off all their wings in one bite.
"Damn it, what are you doing..." The protagonist immediately became angry!
