The lake is very wide, but the mouth of the lake connecting to the river is not very wide. The clear river water and the slightly darker lake water are clearly distinguished at the intersection. Looking down at the water, "Spider Wolf II" and his party quickly flew across the lake mouth, and land reappeared beneath them.
When we reach the land on the west bank of the lake and the south bank of the river, we can clearly see signs of ant civilization on the ground. There are always some big-headed ants on the ground looming under the vegetation, and the vegetation in some places has obviously been harvested and developed. In order to avoid the destroyers that may appear at any time, these big-headed ant remnants have become accustomed to dispersed and concealed actions when foraging. They will only gather briefly when a large amount of ant strength is needed, and try not to alert some dangerous existences.
Judging from the orientation, the ants on the ground below belonged to the "Mustard Seed" faction. In view of the opponent's previous performance, "Spider Wolf II" and his party did not intend to contact them first, so they continued flying.
Originally, they should have turned south to fly south in order to reach the area controlled by the "Wang Zuo" forces as soon as possible, but "Spider Wolf II" also received a mission assigned by Zhu Jue personally, so they continued to move westward along the river.
At noon, they arrived at their destination.
This is an unremarkable section of the river. The only thing that looks special is a section of tall and thick tree trunks lying on both sides of the river, forming a natural bridge.
Here are the remains of the big banyan tree, the ruins of [Linshui City], and the monument to the failure of the God's Envoy King's army in their homeland.
At this time, only the trunk of the originally lush branches of the big banyan tree was left in the light. Except for some thick branches and roots, the rest of the branches had long since disappeared from the wind, sun, rain, and soil. The huge trunk still maintains its previous size, and is so thick that it makes ants look at it, but the bark layer has long since disappeared, revealing the xylem inside that is as miserable as a corpse. However, in the lower parts of the tree trunks, as well as in some tree holes and gaps, there is a deep black color corroded by the darkness and moisture. Some gaps even have dark green moss and brown mushrooms growing in them.
White and black, death and rebirth, chasms and thoroughfares, these contradictions are fused together here!
Several big-headed worker ants were poking their heads at one end of the Big Banyan Tree Bridge, then quickly jumped onto the bridge and rushed over as fast as possible. They jumped to the ground on the other side and hid in the shadows before recovering. Original action frequency. Soon after, some dark ants, apparently pavement ants, followed the same pattern from the opposite direction from the north bank.
The ants' movements are agile but timid. The source of their fear is not difficult to find. Not far from the Banyan Tree Bridge, there is a small group of nearly a hundred Destroyers moving swaggeringly on the exposed field, indifferent to the flying movements in the air. Just concentrate on crawling on the ground. But there is no doubt that once these destroyers find any trace of any ant, they will immediately transform into the most ferocious and terrifying hunters!
"Spider Wolf II" circled the remains of the big banyan tree three times, taking its images into his mind from all angles and turning them into an information package. This was Zhu Jue's mission. He was obsessed with seeing this very symbolic place where he had fought, and specifically ordered "Spider Wolf II" to take a detour to find out.
Afterwards, the envoy and his party turned south and continued to search for their target.
Because the male ant warrior sent by "Wang Zuo" who successfully found Zhu Jue was too weak and would not even be able to fully recover in the future, he was unable to personally guide "Spider Wolf II" and his party back to his homeland, and could only stay and recuperate. All relevant information was provided to the envoy.
"Spider Wolf II" and the commanders of the two flying knight squads followed the instructions in the information package, looking for landmarks to determine their orientation, and constantly changing their routes. In the afternoon, after wandering for a while, the messenger and his party finally found a lair.
The entrance and exit of this lair is very hidden. If it weren't for a conspicuous obsidian stone pier as a landmark next to it, it would be almost difficult for the flying knights to find the lair hidden in the stone crevices and behind shrubs. This is where the male ant warrior called "Wang Zuo" resides. The flying knights found the big-headed ants that were secretly foraging nearby. After confirming that there was no threat from the Destroyer on the ground, a small group of flying knights landed one after another.
Some big-headed ants that were alarmed nearby immediately surrounded them, but as soon as their tentacles came into contact, although these big-headed ants were still on guard, at least they did not immediately initiate an attack.
Even though they have been away from their homeland for nine years, and even though their living environment is completely different, some commonalities between the two sides can still be clearly identified in the scent information passed down by the Ant Alliance. It is these commonalities that prevent these big-headed ant sentinels from immediately engaging in combat, wondering whether the opponent is a member of their own race from a distant stronghold.
Their guess was not wrong, but they obviously didn't know how far away these strongholds of the same race were!
"Spider Wolf II" is still hovering in the air, and he has to wait for the initial contact with the ground to be successful before landing. He saw several big-headed male ants emerge from the secret entrance and exit of the nest. After contacting the tentacles of the landing Flying Knight Captain for a while, the local male ants' tentacles were waving very excitedly and instructed the vigilant guards to lift their defenses. attitude.
The flying knight on the ground expressed no threat, and then "Spider Wolf II" landed. The air flow raised when his huge dragonfly mount landed, his solemn appearance, and huge size all made the local male ants regain their confidence. Becoming reserved.
As soon as he landed, "Spider Wolf II" ordered "Wang Zuo" to come and greet him personally. However, local male ants reported that "Wang Zuo" changed his location two months ago, and they don't know where he is now - he has been constantly changing locations since he took power.
With no other choice, "Spider Wolf II" had no choice but to put away the routine that had been secretly rehearsed several times in his mind, followed the local male ants into the nest, and stayed temporarily. He didn't plan to look for "Wang Zuo" anymore. Even if it might be very close by flying there, he would rather wait for a week until "Wang Zuo" came to meet him in person.
Although there is little traffic between the nests controlled by "Wang Zuo", there are indispensable communication methods. The local male ants have urgently sent a number of envoys to nearby strongholds, and these strongholds will also send out envoys in succession, no matter " "Wang Zuo" will be found wherever he is!
So "Spider Wolf II" stayed here and ordered the local ants to build an underground base for the flying knights to enter and exit.
The local ants were also very cooperative and had no complaints. After all, "Spider Wolf II" had such a high status and strong aura. What's more, behind him is the great Divine Envoy King that the local male ants have never seen but have always heard of!
