The sun and moon rotate, the clouds change, the wind blows, the snow falls and melts.
These days for "Tianxian" are like years. In the dark underground environment in winter, it is difficult to feel the passage of time. After Zhu Jue disappeared, time seemed to have stopped.
Zhu Jue's sudden disappearance caused chaos in this small camp. The soldiers of the God's Envoy King dug three feet into the ground but found nothing. After some informed ants revealed that Zhu Jue had left the nest, the scope of the search expanded to the outside world.
A large number of pavement ant warriors from the Angel King's legion will go out to search as long as the weather permits. They have suffered a lot of casualties in the cold wind and cold blood, but they still have not found the whereabouts of the Angel King.
In the end, even the veteran "celestial beings" were unable to suppress the chaos in the camp. Some young generals and the commanders of the civilized ant tribe exerted increasing pressure, and the "celestial beings" had to agree to send messengers. When the weather was good, they rushed to important towns such as [Black Fire City] to announce the disappearance of the God Envoy King.
The mysterious departure of the divine messenger Wang Zhujue has caused bigger and bigger waves, affecting a wider and wider area, but he himself is not aware of all this at this time.
Head all the way north from [Black Fire City] and other places, overlooking the world from the air. In the morning, an ant could be seen poking its head out of a stone crevice.
This is none other than Zhu Jue.
At this time, he had returned to his original body and seemed no different from when he left the camp. But for some reason, if there are ants around, you can detect a change in Zhu Jue's aura, and there is a unique "flavor" that cannot be explained!
Zhu Jue was on his way back to the camp at this time.
When did his "consciousness" leave [Bun City]? What kind of experience did he have inside the skull stone? Why did the parasite summon him? Even the parasitic brain that is the initiator of "parasitic rolling" is not clear about these problems.
Only Zhu Jue himself knows what he has experienced, what he has gained, and what he has changed, but he has not communicated with any other intelligent creatures, nor has he left any meaningful traces.
When his "consciousness" was transmitted back and returned to his original body, Zhu Jue immediately controlled this most familiar body and left the parasitic camp. The parasitic creatures were all crawling on the ground, without any obstruction or need to stop him.
Zhu Jue was still confused at first, but the outside temperature quickly made him wake up and embarked on the return journey resolutely.
Taking advantage of the recent good weather, Zhu Jue walked along the road he came from. The pheromones he had left on the road had not yet dissipated. Many of the supplies Zhu Jue carried were exhausted, but fortunately he was familiar with the road. He could find food to satisfy his hunger along the way. If he was thirsty, he could turn snow into water to drink. The shelters were all used before, so there was nothing to worry about.
The crevice he was currently in was the same crevice where snails were roasted on the way here. Zhu Jue returned here and spent another night.
In the evening, he repeated his old tricks and ate another meal of snail meat, roasted some insect eggs and took them with him, and used up the last ant glue ball of fluorescent bacteria extract liquid that was used to ignite the fire. Fortunately, we were already very close to the camp, so we didn’t need to light a fire again if we brought enough dry food.
The rat woman, who was alarmed again, moved slowly, waiting for the leftovers left by Zhu Jue. They crowded and pushed each other and slowly approached. Only then did Zhu Jue feel full of vitality, the vitality of the world and his own vitality!
————
When Zhu Jue finally appeared in the camp, the chaos in the camp came to an abrupt end.
The "Celestial Immortal" and the generals of the Divine Envoy King's army, as well as the commanders of the civilized ant tribe's allies, bowed their bodies respectfully to welcome the return of the great Divine Envoy King.
Even though he disappeared for so many days, as soon as Zhu Jue appeared, all the chaos disappeared, as if it had never happened. The ants who had been in disputes and conflicts once again had a backbone.
Zhu Jue did not explain his whereabouts, and the other ants did not have the courage to ask. When Zhu Jue came back, his aura and smell had been picked up by the sensitive ants.
What kind of smell is that!
mystery! powerful! Can't resist! Like a god!
Even the "celestial beings" who are most familiar with Zhu Jue are trembling under this unbridled momentum, let alone other ants with lower status.
After Zhu Jue noticed the reactions of the ants around him, he calmed down his momentum belatedly. The other ants finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the camp finally returned to normal.
Zhu Jue asked the "Celestial Immortal" what happened during his departure. Because he left on a temporary basis, Zhu Jue did not settle things after his departure, and he knew that chaos would definitely occur.
However, Zhu Jue's original expectation was that because of the winter, the chaos would not expand too much, and he would be able to put an end to the chaos when he returned.
Compared with the benefits he predicted and actually gained from this adventurous trip, such a chaotic result was an affordable price.
But what Zhu Jue didn't expect was that, according to the "Celestial Immortal", the chaos caused by his departure had expanded to [Black Fire City] and other wintering camps, and was known to many senior leaders and commanders of the allied clans.
[Black Fire City] is the main nest of the Black Fire Ant Kingdom, and is also the overwintering camp for a large number of civilized ant alliance forces. Leaders and commanders of multiple alliance clans live here temporarily. According to "Celestial Immortal", the various clans in [Black Fire City] fell into chaos and quarrels due to the disappearance of the nominal supreme commander Zhu Jue. Envoys were sent to the camp more than once to inquire whether the Divine Envoy King had returned.
The senior generals of the Divine Envoy King's Army stationed in [Black Fire City] even claimed that some alliance leaders were instigating the election of a new supreme commander to replace Zhu Jue, who was unknown about his life or death.
Zhu Jue knew that he must go to [Black Fire City] personally as soon as possible to stabilize the overall situation. The war after the spring of next year will be a key battle that determines the ant alliance, and even all civilized ant tribes, and even all ant civilizations. There must be no chaos within the civilized ant alliance.
And this is also an opportunity. Zhu Jue can know who among these allies is loyal and reliable, and who has ulterior motives. Taking advantage of this winter, Zhu Jue can clean up the interior of the civilized ant coalition and enhance cohesion!
But before setting off for [Black Fire City], Zhu Jue just sent a messenger to announce his return and convey the news that he would arrive at [Black Fire City] one day.
Zhu Jue himself will stay in this camp for a few days.
In the past few days, Zhu Jue was busy engraving a large number of patterns and formulas in his mind on the walls of a huge nest specially excavated inside the camp!
Hundreds of worker ants are being taught by Zhu Jue, working according to the information package he provided, and using white pebbles to build these patterns and formulas into shape bit by bit.
These are the patterns and formulas engraved on the skull stone!
