The sun is shining brightly, the mountain breeze is clear and peaceful, the shadows of the trees are like clouds, and the grass is green.
In a valley, Kite sniffed sensitively with its tentacles, and soon found traces of excrement under a Potentilla plant, and another piece of excrement under another Malan head not far away. The two piles of excrement had completely different smells and clearly belonged to two different tribes.
This is the dividing line between the two tribes' territories. To the left and right are the territories of the two tribes, and in the middle is the "three no matter" boundary zone.
If you look carefully, you can still see ant warriors looking behind the shadows of grass blades not far away on the left and right.
The kite led the troops through the middle of the two territory markers, making the ants responsible for monitoring them relax.
As long as the opponent has no intention of going deep into their own territory, these monitors do not need to take action. In short, even if they use all the strength of the tribe, they are no match for the Kite Force.
Kite took the troops all the way, and the traces of last year's war are still visible.
As an old male ant who has lived for many years, Kite knows that there used to be many tribes and good players in this land. If you can't go far, you will meet people from other tribes on the border.
But now, you have to walk a long way to meet a new tribe. These ant-hunting tribes are generally not large in scale. They only send three or two warriors to follow them from a distance. When they meet each other, they only dare to open their big jaws with a fierce look. Show threats.
Kite's team is full of hunting ants, and due to their large number, they try to follow the edges of the territories marked by each tribe, which avoids them a lot of trouble.
At least the vast majority of tribes were unwilling to offend such a huge force and took no further action except surveillance and intimidation.
The Sickle Hunter ants are originally relatively peaceful among their own kind. They will resolve disputes through duels and other methods to avoid attrition caused by large-scale battles. After all, life in the mountains is already very difficult, and there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
When faced with old enemies like parasitic fungi, the tribe of sickle-hunting ferocious ants will unite. Only then will their fierce and combative side be fully revealed.
Kite and his subordinates ate and slept in the open all the way, and the dry food they carried was not enough to support a long-distance march. Fortunately, the hunting ants are excellent hunters. Due to the reduction of tribes in this mountain forest, the density of prey has increased. The small army only needs By hunting casually every day, you can get a lot of fresh meat to supplement your consumption.
Nighttime is more troublesome. The hunting ants cannot compare with the smaller and more flexible pavement ants or big-headed ants in terms of nest-building efficiency, and they are not willing to spend a lot of time digging holes in the soil.
Every evening, the kite will try to find some tree holes or natural stone gaps, or capture the nests of some insects that build holes, and make do with it overnight.
In this way, it took about three days for them to arrive at the big lake.
This large lake still has clear waves and waves lapping the shore. Kite did not participate in the last battle with the parasitic ants, but the information package delivered by the great Divine Messenger King told him that this was the destination.
It is here that once evil parasites and infected people leap into the lake. Thinking of this, Kite suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
He doesn't like water. Almost all ants don't like so much water, let alone taking the initiative to jump into the water. That would be the end of a narrow escape.
It's really unimaginable that those crazy infected people just jumped into the lake in groups and floated on it with the current. Sure enough, after being infected by parasitic bacteria, they will become evil and unreasonable.
Kite led the troops along the lake shore, trying to find clues about the whereabouts of the parasitic ants after they came ashore.
When the Angel King's army was chasing the parasitic ants, they encountered the coalition forces of the Sickle Ant Hunter tribe. The ant-hunting coalition also came to eliminate the parasitic ants, but they also regarded the Angel King's army as intruders. A battle broke out between the two, and the protagonist retreated in order to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Now, if you want to know the final whereabouts of the parasitic ants, it would be a good idea to ask those coalition forces of hunting sickle ants that have fought against the Angel King's army.
This place is far away from the area where the Divine Envoy King's army once wiped out the Sickle Ant Hunter tribe. Therefore, the density of the Sickle Ant Hunter tribe is much higher than before, and the strength is also stronger.
However, Kite feels that the more than one hundred ant-hunting warriors under his command are definitely powerful enough that even the largest tribes in the entire mountainous area have never had it.
They moved along the shore of the lake. There was a tidal flat formed by the rising water level on the shore of the lake. The indigenous tribe of hunting sickle ants rarely came here.
After discovering traces of their own tribe, the kites will leave the lake shore and head towards the hillside forest, trying to contact the local tribes.
There was no need to bother searching. As long as they entered a tribal territory, the appearance of such a large force would alert the indigenous tribes and attract them to come out in full force to confront them without going far.
But an ordinary tribe came out in force, plus the old and the weak, which was just a few dozen ants, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Kite's troops.
It was also with the guarantee of this strength that Kite stepped forward alone to communicate with the enemy's leader.
If you are not strong enough and enter the opponent's territory rashly, the opponent may obviously teach them the "etiquette" of hunting sickle ants first.
The leaders of the hunting sickle ant tribe are all female ants. The queen herself is also a warrior, and the best hunter assumes the responsibility of the leader. These female ants obviously didn't like to deal with the male ants, but considering the size of the army behind them, the kite still managed to have in-depth communication with the opposite sex.
The communication here is the original intention.
Soon, after visiting three or four tribes, Kite pieced together the information obtained and finally got the answer the protagonist wanted.
It took the kite another four days to return, and the flying knight who had been waiting in "Southern City" immediately sent the information to "Dongyang City".
According to Kite's report, these tribes living on the shore of the lake had originally participated in the alliance of hunting sickle ants and clashed with the Angel King's army.
The reason why this coalition was established was because the parasitic ants were driven into the lake area by the Angel King's army, causing the local tribes to think that there was an epidemic, and they were formed after a series of connections.
After forcing back the Angel King's army, the Allied Forces of Hunting Sickle Ants chased the parasitic ants that landed and retreated to join the army, chasing them all the way until the opponent retreated into a mountain swamp.
That swamp was the territory of another type of ant adapted to living near water. The predatory ants didn't like this environment, so they withdrew. It is estimated that fewer than a thousand parasitic ants escaped into the swamp.
After this, there is the latest news about parasitic bacteria this year, which makes the protagonist pay attention.
