After flying near the main nest, the protagonist and his party did not choose to land directly near the main nest. Instead, they chose a big tree some distance away from the main nest and landed on a lower branch.
Thanks to the distance and the cover of dense leaves, it will not be seen by the ants moving near the main nest. And if any conflict arises, the protagonist is confident that he can break out of the siege and run back here alone.
After making all preparations, the protagonist handed Xiao Qing II to Flying Eagle, climbed down from the tree, and walked to the main nest alone.
When the protagonist arrived near the main nest, he was quickly discovered by the patrol. There had been instructions from the main nest, and the patrol immediately escorted the protagonist into the large underground conference room.
The protagonist was relieved. The patrol team escorting him seemed to be very friendly and didn't seem to be trying to embarrass himself. The protagonist is not worried that the other party is deceiving him. The ants are still very simple and will not do such intrigues.
After the protagonist arrived at the large conference room, the kings who had been notified also arrived one after another, including the public security and Western kings whom the protagonist was familiar with. What surprised the protagonist was that the senior brother also came to the venue, and this time he obviously stood on the cobblestone ground as a formal member.
After all participants arrived, everyone lowered their tentacles to the ground and began to enter group meeting mode.
The first one to speak was actually the senior brother. Before the protagonist could stop being surprised as to why he, an ordinary king, was presiding over the meeting, the senior brother's words blocked his current doubts with a bigger question.
"I am the disciple of the Most Lao Wang, the king who has completed the cultivation of the Most Lao Wang." After introducing himself, the senior brother announced a shocking news to the kings present.
"Three days ago, a major incident occurred. Since the God Envoy King, XX King, XX King and XX King were not in the main nest at that time, the news was not announced. Today, all qualified kings have arrived at the meeting and can be announced."
The senior brother paused for a moment and continued: "The oldest king is missing!"
Countless messages mixed with various emotions instantly filled the communication channels on the cobblestone floor. For a moment, the protagonist seemed to feel that the white cobblestones on the ground were flashing. A large number of emotions hit the protagonist's mind along the tentacles, making him feel uncomfortable and absent-minded for a moment.
Fortunately, the kings were all highly respected and experienced people. After being shocked by the news for a while, they quickly calmed down and began to prepare to question the senior brother about the details of the matter. After all, the news was too shocking and bizarre.
But before that, the police stood up and began to take over the right to speak:
"This is absolutely true. I was the first king to receive the news. Then I blocked the news as usual and notified all the kings to prepare to attend the meeting."
With a great king’s evidence, it’s time for everyone to delve into the details.
Later, the senior brother sent an information packet about his experience three days ago to all participants.
Turn back time to three days ago.
At that time, the senior brother had completed all the training of the Most Lao Wang, but before taking over the honorary position of the Most Lao Wang, he was still an ordinary king, performing his due responsibilities.
The Lao Wang has been in seclusion for more than half a year. Only intermittent news has come, most of which are some "divine decrees" obtained by chance. These "divine decrees" have basically no meaning, and are more like scattered information fragments or gibberish.
The oldest king did not explain these "divine decrees", and the senior brother could not answer them based on the knowledge he possessed. Whenever this happens, the elder brother misses the protagonist very much - the "divine will" he has received is so clear and clear, and can bring obvious benefits to the kingdom.
However, after the summer, the exchange of information between the oldest king and the outside world through worker ant messengers became less and less. A fixed amount of food was sent to the oldest king's palace every day, and some feces and garbage were cleared out.
Three days ago, the soldier ants responsible for guarding the entrance to the Lao Wang's palace came to report to the senior brother: They found that the worker ants in the Lao Wang's palace had not gone out for two days, neither receiving food nor taking out garbage. Even the sounds of various activities in the palace in the past have disappeared.
Although the soldier ants are not very intelligent, they can still detect this obvious abnormality. They had no right to enter the palace of the Lao Wang, so they found their senior brother - as the disciple of the Lao Wang and the candidate for the next Lao Wang, he had the authority to enter in an emergency against the orders of the Lao Wang himself. Of the bedroom.
When the senior brother heard this, he felt that this situation was also very suspicious, but he was more cautious and immediately went to tell the public security king, who was one of the most prestigious among the kings and had a good relationship with the eldest king.
The King of Public Security, the Senior Brother, and some guards immediately entered the palace of the Lao Lao Wang.
But there was no ant in the palace - the oldest king and the worker ants who served him were all missing.
The police immediately searched the small dormitory, and found that there was no body at the scene, and there was a small amount of excrement that had not been cleaned up in the corners of the ground. Judging from the extent of this excrement, it should have been abandoned for three or four days.
In a corner of the palace, investigators made a new discovery: there was the entrance to a narrow tunnel.
The oldest king's palace is adjacent to the combustion chamber and is located at the bottom of the entire main nest. The senior brother used to come here often to study, but there is no such tunnel in his memory.
Investigators entered the tunnel and found that the tunnel first stretched straight into the distance, which was probably the direction of the south. Then, the tunnel began to tilt upward. Finally, the investigators climbed to the ground. The ground exit was already a full twenty meters away from the south of the main nest.
It seems that Lao Wang and the worker ants left through this exit, but were they kidnapped by the enemies coming in from this exit, or did they leave on their own? This is a question.
However, investigators soon discovered that there was some loose floating soil in the palace of the oldest king, which was often found when digging passages. According to the information package of the guard ants, the police and the senior brother found that in the past six months, every time the worker ants came out to discard feces and garbage, they always discarded a large amount of soil particles. In the past, this information was not taken seriously by the guard ants and the worker ants that disposed of the garbage.
Combining this information, the police and senior brother agreed that this tunnel was dug by the worker ants under Lao Wang, and there were four worker ants under him. Calculating that it would indeed take half a year to dig such a long tunnel.
Why do these worker ants go to so much trouble to dig a hidden tunnel to escape? The Lao Wang must have known and seen what they were doing. Could it be that these worker ants did this under the orders of the Lao Wang?
Where is Lao Wang and why did he do this?
