Zhu Jue heard the news and squeezed over, only to see a large group of ants of all races digging three feet into the ground crowded in front of a wall to watch.
The center of the crowd was in the middle of the palace, where a hole had been dug out on a small patch of wall that had obviously been repaired later, and an ant's head had "grown" out of the hole. A large amount of soil and gravel from excavations were scattered on the ground.
On the wall, I saw this ant with only its head exposed. Its head was brownish-red, its antennae were short and thick, and it was covered with hairs of different lengths. Judging from the head alone, it looked like a medium-sized ant, but it was impossible to tell which ant family it belonged to, at least. Zhu Jue has never seen this kind of ant tribe.
Moreover, this ant was actually buried alive in the wall, with its belly facing up and its back facing down, upside down. It didn't look like it was dead, but just a little weak. Its antennae were still shaking and its mouthparts were opening one by one.
A few parasitic hyphae sometimes poked out from its mouthparts, and sometimes went back. This unknown parasitic ant allowed the parasitic hyphae to drill back and forth in his intestines, stomach and mouth. This should be very painful.
Zhu Jue suddenly realized that this parasitic ant was buried alive in the wall with a strange posture. It was probably the hallucinogen he was looking for. He didn't know how long he had been buried alive depending on the situation. He might not be able to hold on anymore and would die soon, so These parasitic hyphae are hesitating to leave the dying body.
The other ants were watching curiously. A single parasitic ant bound in the wall did not pose any danger, and they did not want to escape.
Seeing this, King "Hei Tan" ordered his ants to continue digging, trying to dig out this strange ant completely to see what the hell it was.
Sensing the movement, the tentacles of the trapped parasitic ant, which was dying, shook a few more times. It still looked weak, but it turned upside down and quickly saw Zhu Jue, its eyes full of viciousness and unwillingness.
Zhu Jue saw the look in its eyes and strengthened his guess. He must have hated himself deeply for injuring the hallucinogen in his illusion!
More and more clods of soil and pebbles fell down. Zhu Jue took a closer look and saw that the original white background of these pebbles could still be vaguely seen... It seemed like... white pebbles! ?
Just when Zhu Jue was wondering, a sudden change occurred!
Half of the weak parasitic ant's body had been dug out, but its body was only the size of a small ant.
As if it sensed something was wrong, the parasitic ant suddenly raised its head desperately, its tentacles touching the wall below, and its jaws opened silently, as if it was struggling to its death.
At the same time, several worker ants of various races that were digging nearby suddenly collapsed without warning, and they were as motionless as the two dead male black fire ants. The other few worker ants who were fine ran away in panic to avoid this terrifying parasitic ant!
With sharp eyes, Zhu Jue recalled the scene just now and found that the antennae of the fallen ants were touching the ground and the wall, while the antennae of the ants that were fine were all hanging in the air.
"Kill this ant, and don't touch the wall with the tentacles! Don't touch the ants!" Zhu Jue gave an order to his guards.
The "Celestial Immortal" immediately led the two guards and approached them with their tentacles retracted. Upon seeing this, the weak parasitic ant stretched its tentacles straight towards them, as if trying to make tentacle contact.
The "Tianxian" ignored the other party and carefully protected its tentacles, then leaned down directly and from bottom to top, its large jaws instantly cut off the parasitic ant's neck nerves.
From the wound, more than a dozen parasitic hyphae spewed out instantly. They were already prepared for other guards to attack or step on them, and they cooperated tacitly to kill the hyphae without causing any secondary harm.
Afterwards, the fainted ants immediately woke up, and Zhu Jue went to ask in person. The ants said that they suddenly came to a place where there were no ants, and that they entered the illusion together. A shadow came to chase them. They ran and ran. Soon the shadow disappeared and they came back.
Zhu Jue nodded. These worker ants were similar to what he had experienced before. It seemed that this parasitic ant was a hallucinogen. He didn't know how she achieved this level of illusion.
Moreover, he was not attacked by the shadow. Instead, the shadow kept avoiding him and turning back from time to time. These worker ants were attacked by shadows. I wonder if the two dead male ants died because of this?
Zhu Jue now regretted killing the hallucinator so quickly. It would have been nice if he could study this illusion. But he also knew that this hallucinogenic parasitic ant had strange methods, so it was better to be careful and not accidentally get caught!
As the excavation work continued, the body of the parasitic ant was completely thrown out. It can be seen that this is a male ant corpse, with a head and body that are out of proportion. Just like the parasitic "roll" Zhu Jue saw before, it has a big head and a small body.
But this ant does not belong to the big-headed ant clan, nor does it belong to any ant clan Zhu Jue knows. King "Hei Tan" has never seen this kind of ant clan.
In addition, next to the body lying on its back, there were a large number of pebbles and gravels. These gravels continued to extend. The ants dug along and found that the gravels were hidden on the repaired walls, forming a line. The lines extend to the walls and floors of more than a dozen nearby dormitories.
King "Hei Tan" then recalled that the repair marks in the dormitory were not done by the black fire ants. They only repaired the upper part of the nest. When they arrived at the dormitory before, they found that it had been renovated, but they did not pay attention to it.
Now the chain of evidence is basically complete.
Zhu Jue guessed that these cobblestones could transmit the stream of consciousness just like the cobblestone telegraph wires of the Ant Alliance. When the parasitic creature was evacuating, it deliberately buried the parasitic male ant upside down in the wall, and then used small pebbles dug and crushed from the conference room to pave the line, so that the hallucinogenic parasitic ant could It can be extended to other nest rooms along the network.
Subsequently, the coalition of civilized ants entered the city, and at night, this hallucinogenic parasitic ant began to attack. The reason why they attack at night may be because the antennae are kept hanging down to the ground only after the ants are asleep.
Hallucinogenic parasitic ants can probably only pull one male ant or several worker ants into the illusion at a time. The parasitic organisms' priority targets are the ants living in the highest-level dormitories. So the two dead male black fire ants were killed in the illusion one after another. Finally, Zhu Jue was pulled into the illusion, but he broke the illusion and severely injured the illusionist!
What kind of terrifying mental attack ability is this! This was the first time Zhu Jue had seen this kind of ants and this kind of mental attack, and he felt solemn.
At this time, another messenger from outside the nest reported urgently: several army camps outside were suddenly attacked by parasitic organisms!
