In the office with the curtains drawn and light flowing through, the protagonist is working on the shale desk.
In front of him was still a piece of grass-leaf paper and a plate of charcoal blocks. From time to time he scribbled symbols on the paper that other ants could not understand, and from time to time he would stop and think for a while.
Not all ants cannot understand the numbers and Chinese characters written by the protagonist. For example, the protagonist will teach them simple literacy and writing from time to time when they are surrounded by magic soldier ants who act as guards.
These guardsmen will train with the protagonist for a while, and will be sent out to become squad commanders of various legions in the future. These magic soldier ants who are loyal to the protagonist are an important help for the protagonist to continue to gain control of the army. In the future, there will be a bigger stage for this class to perform, and the protagonist will not hesitate to teach them more things.
What's more, these magic soldier ants are all the daughters of the protagonist in an ant body!
At this time, "Tianxian" came in from outside the door. She is now the only big worker ant in the guard team, and as a big worker ant, she serves as the captain of the guard team.
The "Celestial Immortal" respectfully touched the Divine Envoy King's tentacles with his own tentacles and conveyed a message.
"Let him in!"
After learning that a male ant that has an abdominal ant has something to report to him, the protagonist agrees to let him in.
Although the Ant Alliance has now reformed its political system and established ten departments, many original legacy can still be seen.
For example, this male male ant did not report his matter to the assembly or assembly representatives of his clan, nor to the scientific research department that should be in charge of this matter. Instead, he reported directly to the protagonist.
In the human world, this would definitely destroy the hierarchy, but in the ant world this kind of thing is very common.
The God Envoy King is nominally the common leader of all the ants in all the ant tribes in the Ant Alliance. All ants obey his orders. Naturally, the protagonist also has Yiwu, who has direct contact with all the ants.
Although the protagonist is working hard to reform, reduce his burden through the bureaucracy, and improve the efficiency of the country's operations, the protagonist did not drive away the male ant today, not to mention that the things reported by the other party interested him.
The male Ant ant cautiously came in from the door. The protagonist glanced at him. He had never seen this male ant before. He could recognize any ant that his tentacles had touched.
The "Celestial Immortal" checked the smell of the other person again and confirmed that he was a national of his own country before letting him approach the Divine Envoy King.
The male Ant ant lowered his head and sent an information packet back from his tentacles. Then his tentacles immediately separated and he lay on the ground very respectfully.
Inside the information packet was a short piece of news, saying that the Ant Hunting Team had discovered a ball of locust eggs somewhere, with hundreds of eggs, and asked the God Envoy King to move it for inspection.
The protagonist was not curious as to why the male ant did not report in person, but instead conveyed an information packet. The original author of the information packet did not identify himself, nor did it contain relevant images like other information packets.
But this piece of news has already made the protagonist very excited. The information shows that the ants have discovered a large group of hundreds of locust eggs. So many migratory locust eggs are enough to support the scientific research team's recent research. If they are all hatched and tamed, it will be enough to form many flying transport teams!
This discovery is of great significance for the transportation between the north and south coasts of the United States.
The protagonist immediately asked the male ant to lead the way and go to the scene of the incident to check. At the same time, he asked the "celestial being" to bring a small team of guards to accompany him. book bar
The Imperial Guard around the protagonist already has four squads. Except for the captain, who is a soldier ant named "Heavenly Immortal", the others are all magic soldier ants.
The four teams of Luanliu are responsible for guarding the protagonist. While guarding, they also learn from the King of Gods. Only in times of war will all squads be on duty at the same time. This time, the place the protagonist wants to inspect is near [Xinyang City], so there is only one guard team to protect it.
After walking out of the ant mound, leaving the city wall, and crossing the river from the high rope bridge on the two shrubs on both sides of the canal, the protagonist and the guard team, led by the male ant, headed north-east.
The male ant is walking in front with more than a dozen worker ants. The two worker ants are at the front, constantly exploring the ground with their tentacles, looking for the pheromones left before to guide the way.
The male ant that raised the abdomen turned back frequently along the way and looked at the protagonist not far behind.
After walking for more than an hour, there were fewer and fewer ants working for food in [Xinyangcheng] around us, and they were also far away from the fixed ant paths leading to other nests in [Xinyangcheng].
The protagonist is a little thirsty, but it is almost noon, there is no water source nearby, and even the dew has dried, so he can only endure it.
At this time, the protagonist remembered something and called over a guard soldier, asking her to return to the nest the same way she came. She told the "Secretary II" that the scientific research department should send a group of stable ants to transport the found locust eggs.
The ants were so clumsy that they were not allowed to move, lest they damage the precious eggs.
Although they followed the ants along the way, the guards were well-trained and left short-acting pheromones belonging to the big-headed ants along the way, so there was no need to worry that the returning soldiers would not be able to find a home.
Continuing forward, we walked for more than half an hour. It was almost 2 hours since we left [Xinyang City], and the protagonist finally became suspicious.
Do these ants travel so far to find food?
There are no traces of ants in this area. When I look up, there are weeds everywhere. Even though they are new grasses that have just sprouted in spring, they are still several centimeters high. The ants are among them, just like a person in a low grafted peach forest. Same as in.
The protagonist asked the imperial guards to catch up and asked the male ant how long it would have to go and where it was.
The male ant did not come back to report in person, but the imperial guards brought back a message. The male ant said that he was at a small-leaf boxwood tree not far ahead.
The protagonist climbed up a grass and looked up into the distance. Sure enough, there was a dense small-leaf boxwood more than ten meters in front of him. The newly grown green leaves were lush. This shrub stood out like a landmark in this open field.
With the goal in mind, the protagonist feels less thirsty and continues to follow the belly-lifting ant. Wandering around the weeds along the way, the shrubs are getting closer and closer.
After walking under the small-leaf box tree, the protagonist saw that the branches of this lonely shrub were drooping, almost covering the nearby ground, and the lowest branches and leaves were almost crawling to the ground.
A group of ants walked into the shade of the tree and immediately felt that the light was much dimmer, as if they had walked underground.
I saw the belly-lifting ants in front suddenly rubbing their bodies together, making a special friction sound.
There were sounds in the trees, and two to three hundred ants suddenly appeared on the branches above the head, front, back, left, and right. They had been well hidden just now and were not seen at all.
The protagonist was suddenly shocked! He saw...
