Zhu Jue took a look at these parasitic brains. From the bloated to deformed skulls and facial features, he could still identify some familiar faces.
Parasitic Ikkyu…
Parasitic Ramboser…
Parasitic Lambori…
Parasitic Rambotu…
Parasitic roll…
If there are any bystanders who are familiar with the homeland of the United Nations, they will definitely find this scene very familiar. But at this time, most of the ants are in an ugly state after being parasitically infected, which will definitely make onlookers feel horrified.
Zhu Jue's eyes briefly paused on "Parasite Roll" and then turned away. There are also some important generals of the old God Envoy King's Army who were trapped in the swamp, but they are not here. Their whereabouts will be discussed in the lobby later...
At this time, the parasitic brains gathered around and rubbed Zhu Jue's body with their ugly big heads and bodies with mycelium sprouting everywhere.
Zhu Jue didn't know exactly what to do at this time, so he simply stood still and let these parasitic brains rub their breath on his body.
A slow-moving, unknown parasitic brain actually wanted to touch Zhu Jue's tentacles with its swollen tentacles like snail glasses. Zhu Jue could no longer restrain himself and moved his head away. This parasitic brain was at a loss, but fortunately "Parasite Roll" came over in time. It lowered its head humbly and moved hard in front, seeming to signal Zhu Jue to follow.
Zhu Jue restrained himself from moving and followed.
Without the assistance of parasitic ants, it would be very difficult for these parasitic brains with huge heads to move alone, but they still left the room covered with white cobblestones with Zhu Jue in front or behind, as if performing some kind of solemn ceremony. .
The light underground is dim, and there are no fluorescent bacteria in the parasitic nest. No parasitic brain has noticed that in the depths of Zhu Jue's compound eyes, in addition to chaos, there is also the light of reason hidden!
————
The parasitic ant nest does not seem to be much different from the ordinary ant nest. Except that the ants coming and going have mycelium on their bodies, this place is actually quite similar to the nest of the Ant Alliance.
The ants that come and go include ants from various ant tribes, such as big-headed ants, pavement ants, red forest ants, and bellied ants, which are similar to the ant tribes that make up the ant alliance. There are also some ant tribes that are not contained by the Ant Alliance, such as corn ants, burrowing ants, and the tall Japanese ant.
The Parasitic Ant Tribe, like the Ant Alliance, is a union composed of different ant tribes. Moreover, the ants of all races did not lose their instincts and skills after being infected and parasitized. They still retained their own skills and built this temporary camp into a formal winter nest with mixed characteristics.
When the parasitic army arrived to camp here, they could only prepare to stay here for a long time due to drastic changes in weather.
At the same time, based on the oracle obtained from this trip north, the parasitic brains ordered the parasitic ants to build a "sacred passage" and a connected "white chamber" here, which is the passage and nest room that Zhu Jue passed just now.
At this time, walking in the parasitic ant nest, Zhu Jue could feel the slightest trace of hot air slowly rising up from the bottom of each passage. This kind of heat was very familiar. Apparently there was a heating fire deep in the nest, but the heating method was relatively primitive. , there is no distinction between heating passages and ant passages, which is prone to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Compared with the nests in the Ant Alliance, the passages in this parasitic ant nest are very wide, and even many paths are as wide as the main roads in the Ant Alliance. Seeing the Japanese ants that were as tall as small beetles that occasionally passed by, Zhu Jue understood that such a road was obviously for the convenience of these big men, and maybe it was dug by these big men.
Some parasitic pavement ants are constantly coming in and out from the entrance. Like the ant alliance, they are also the only group of parasitic ants that can go out in winter. These parasitic pavement ants burrow into the nest with various items in their jaws, and then exit with their jaws empty.
Zhu Jue noticed that these parasitic pavement ants collected mostly fuel and small white pebbles. Good weather this winter is rare. Obviously, every time it is sunny, the parasitic pavement ants must seize the time to collect useful supplies.
Zhu Jue was surrounded by the parasitic brains and walked slowly towards the depths of the parasitic nest.
The other parasitic ants ignored this strange team. Occasionally, when a parasitic ant approached, they instinctively used their tentacles to feel for Zhu Jue. When they smelled the scent of the parasitic brain rubbing against his body, they no longer doubted its departure. .
When the parasitic brains do not specifically issue instructions, these parasitic brains no longer seem to have a transcendent and noble status. Among the ants, there are no parasitic ants to help support their huge heads.
The parasitic brains tortured themselves like this, accompanying Zhu Jue at a very slow speed, and it took half an hour before they moved to the bottom of the nest.
It was already very warm here, and hot air came out of the passage. It was obviously very close to the combustion chamber. Zhu Jue smelled smoke. Fortunately, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his body. It seemed that the ventilation conditions of the combustion chamber were good, so that carbon monoxide would not be produced and cause poisoning.
From the huge door of a nest he just passed, Zhu Jue saw several parasitic queens from all races, gathering together peacefully. This is obviously the ant queen's dormitory nest. After a cursory scan, Zhu Jue realized that there were 7 queens from 5 ant tribes, gathering together harmoniously with each other, and worker ants from different ant tribes shuttled back and forth. More than a dozen ant eggs were piled inside, and they were quickly picked up by the worker ants, and new ant eggs continued to be born from the abdomens of each queen.
Zhu Jue just glanced at it with his peripheral vision. From the perspective of outside ants, this ant with the body color of a pale golden parasitic ant and an appearance that was in an "unpurified state" was surrounded by people without squinting and taking three steps. In the middle, slowly fading from the faint scattered firelight into darkness.
Zhu Jue took very small steps and moved forward at a very slow frequency. This was what he had to do in order to adapt to the clumsy pace of the parasitic brains. He felt that he had passed through the "bottom layer" of the lair where the combustion chamber was located, and was heading deeper.
In the ant nest of the Ant Alliance, the "combustion chamber" is already located at the lowest level, and there are only some isolated water wells and drainage outlets in the deeper levels.
But in this parasitic nest, there is obviously a very important nest hidden deeper. The road here is still relatively wide, enough to accommodate the passage of Japanese ants, and will not block the huge head of the parasitic brain.
When Zhu Jue's patience was almost exhausted and it was difficult to directly question these very cunning parasitic brains, they finally arrived at a nest room.
This is a dark nest hidden in the depths. It is not large and has no parasites to protect it.
But after getting in, Zhu Jue just took a glance and paused slightly, but then stabilized himself and controlled his surprise very well!
