Sorry, I was busy taking care of my children during the Spring Festival, so I took leave and didn't update. The kids went to bed early today, so I will update a chapter. Thank you all book friends for your support. Special thanks to Mr. NemoFoxx.

After killing the spider, the protagonist is very tired.
This kind of fight is different from the fight between ants. The opponent is not only larger in size, but also has endless spider silk skills. They are also fighting on the home field of spider webs, which makes the protagonist suffer a lot.
Although the protagonist finally won with his own strength far exceeding that of insects, the energy consumption was also extremely shocking.
For a moment, the protagonist's whole body felt sore. Although it was not to the extent of the sequelae after entering the "God of Killing" mode for the first time during the Reconquest War, it was still really uncomfortable.
After resting for a while, the protagonist felt that he had regained some of his strength.
Then he hurriedly climbed along the longitudinal line of the spider web to Xiao Qing, who was wrapped as a mummy, and tore off a large piece of sticky spider silk.
The first thing to be exposed was Xiaoqing's head. Its huge red compound eyes reflected the figure of the protagonist, and a pair of short brush-like tentacles were constantly trembling.
The protagonist leaned his tentacles up and read a deep sense of fear.
He comforted Xiao Qing a little until its body stopped shaking, and then pulled off the remaining spider silk.
The reason why Xiao Qing is not rescued immediately is because the protagonist is worried that Xiao Qing will suddenly break free from the restraints and fly away due to fear. Then the protagonist will be blinded and can only crawl back to Dongyang City step by step. "go.
But now it seems that the protagonist's worries are unnecessary.
Because he exhausted his energy while struggling on the spider web, he was tangled in spider silk and became a mummy. Frightened and tired, Xiaoqing only flicked her wings slightly, unable to fly away at all.
The protagonist was afraid that Xiaoqing would accidentally get entangled in the spider web again, so he had to lift it up and lift it out of the spider web.
The protagonist places Xiao Qing on a leaf that is directly exposed to the sun and lets it warm up.
For cold-blooded insects, sunlight is an important source of heat.
The protagonist himself was bored lying on the leaves and leisurely enjoying the sunbath. This was a rare experience since time travel. After all, ants still spend more time underground.
His lying posture is unusual among insects. For most insects, the only chance to lie down in their lives is when they die with their legs upturned.
After relaxing, the protagonist recalled the battle with the spider and realized that he really had many differences as an ant.
First of all, the protagonist is obviously stronger than all insects in terms of strength.
Although ants are known as the strongmen of insects, they can lift hundreds of times their own weight. But considering the tiny size of ants, the sheer weight they can lift is unremarkable.
The protagonist's strength even far exceeds that of the dung beetle, the most powerful of insects.
In addition, the protagonist's eyesight is also very good, on par with humans, and his night vision ability is even better than humans.
Finally, most ants do not have wings, but the protagonist chose to keep his wings after the wedding flight ceremony, and they have not fallen off normally yet.
Although the protagonist cannot fly with the help of wings, he can occasionally flutter a few times to assist acceleration and deceleration.
The protagonist himself can't explain why there are these differences, just like he can't explain how he traveled through time and became an ant.
Soothed by the warm summer sunshine, the protagonist, exhausted after a fierce battle, gradually fell into a nap state while thinking.
…………
The protagonist is awakened by the sound of Xiaoqing's buzzing and vibrating wings.
He hurriedly turned over and got up. In a daze, he seemed to be dreaming that Xiaoqing fluttered his wings and flew away, leaving him alone in the wild far away from the nest.
But after the confusion passed, the protagonist realized that he was worrying too much.
Xiaoqing's back was turned to the protagonist, and her wings were fluttering rapidly.
The protagonist has seen this kind of action a lot. When he meets worker ants in the same nest, Xiaoqing will use this action to ask for honeydew.
However, under the strict orders of the protagonist, Xiaoqing rarely gets what he wants. But the occasional success allows it to continue to perform this begging action firmly.
"Why are there ants from "Dongyang City" here? The protagonist felt strange: "Could there be ants from other countries?" Did Xiaoqing admit her mistake? "
The protagonist quickly moved closer to Xiaoqing.
It would be bad if it were ants from other countries. Xiao Qing, who didn't know how to escape, was just a piece of meat in their eyes, and it would be uncomfortable to be bitten a few times.
The protagonist quickly crawled around in a circle towards Xiao Qing.
Then he saw an ant.
This is a typical worker ant of the broad-knotted big-headed ant, the same species as the ants in "Dongyangcheng".
She stood in front of Xiao Qing and cautiously looked at the fly that did not escape with her antennae.
If it weren't for the very familiar scent of the other person, which made her a little confused, she would have already sent out signals to gather her companions and pounced on him to hunt.
The protagonist came around from the side and is now directly behind the ant.
Only then did he notice that there were three long silk-like things extending from the ant's back, extending in all directions.
The protagonist didn't think much about it, maybe it was the plant fiber that got on his body accidentally.
The protagonist took advantage of the worker ant not paying attention and approached her from behind. He touched her abdomen with his tentacles and read the scent on her body.
The scent information passed back showed that she was from "Dongyang City".
"Why would a worker ant come so far?" the protagonist wondered.
Ants generally move around the nest, and the radius of activity does not exceed the distance that can be traveled back and forth during the day.
The distance that Xiaoqing flew far exceeded the range of ants in "Dongyang City".
The worker ant felt the touch on its back and turned around suddenly as if frightened.
The protagonist allows her tentacles to touch his body. He is ready to wait for the other party to verify his identity, and then communicate through the tentacles to answer his questions.
But after this worker ant touched the protagonist, its antennae immediately stood upright, its jaws opened, and it made an attack gesture.
Then she pounces on the protagonist.
The protagonist was startled and suddenly retreated, avoiding the attack of the worker ants.
The worker ant's jaws closed suddenly, and after biting empty space, it made a "snap" sound, showing the strength of the attack.
"what happened?"
The protagonist is a little confused. Why are worker ants with the same smell and appearance attacking him? Never encountered this situation before!
Does your body smell wrong? Did you get some other scent when you were fighting the spider just now?
With this conjecture, the protagonist quickly continued to retreat to avoid the pursuit of the worker ants, while touching his body with his tentacles.
But the aura that came back indicated that there was nothing wrong with him.
The protagonist had no choice but to find an opportunity and suddenly held down the head of the worker ant that was attacking her crazily to ensure that she could not hurt herself.
The protagonist then moved his tentacles toward the frantic worker ant's tentacles.
But what was conveyed was only violent and aggressive emotions, and the worker ant did not respond at all to the questions posed by the protagonist.
It feels like one is trying to communicate with an aggressive psychopath, but fortunately the psychopath has been restrained.
Before the protagonist can figure out what to do next, he suddenly realizes that a terrifying thing has happened next to him! ! !
