Chapter 56: The Great Nest of Earthen
Looking down from the side of the window, the little black man could see the long slender legs of the white giant ants, moving very rhythmically, while the ground world seen through the gaps between the intricate roots became smaller and more distant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The journey to the "tree" lasted for a while, and their destination was reached.
It was an artificial platform that was built by digging out part of the thick trunk and flattening it as a base.
It seemed that no one had visited the place for a while, and the fallen leaves of the giant trees of Eugtrasil were piled up haphazardly, covering the storefront of the shop that sold the riding beasts that stood there.
"Ah, wait, wait. Be obedient, don't run around suddenly. ”
The white giant ant piloted by Luz suddenly disobeyed the command, and the multi-legged movement sped up, bursting into the abandoned storefront. It was a converted building from a biological nest, and the model of the nest used appeared to have been built into the nest by the same species of white giant ants they were riding.
Little Blacks could tell that the white giant ants hadn't been here for a while, and today they were lucky enough to come because of the chance that Luz would be on loan. This ant nest seemed to be the nest of its familiar companions, and as soon as it sensed that the atmosphere here was different from the previous one, the white giant ant was emotionally difficult to accept the sudden change in fact, so it rushed into the nest without listening to Luz's command to find out the reason.
The courtyard on the back of the white giant ant shook violently, and they were shaken in an instant. The one who suffered the most from them was Bebel, who had lost the protection of the "white-faced red-robed robot".
She is usually not used to being naked and exposed to the outside world, she was already afraid of external stimuli, and when this uncontrolled shock hit, she immediately looked like a petite appearance, hugging her head and crying like a child, not at all like a mature adult who became a child's mother.
"Luz, help me. ”
"Let's go appease the troublesome old woman. ”
"Woo, Beast...... Whining. ”
Bebel seems to have been exposed for too long, and his defensive will has become weak due to the consumption of time, and this vulnerability is also reflected in his behavior. Kuroko tried to appease her, but she didn't resist and let Kuroko approach. After hugging her shoulders, Kuroko immediately felt her trembling emotions from fear come through her hands.
Although Kuroko suspects that she is regarded as a beast by Bebel, doing so will have the opposite effect and make Bebel even more afraid. However, the encyclopedia in the brain shows that this hug is actually the best way to give warmth and peace of mind to human beings.
Moreover, the little sunspot doesn't understand himself either. Why is there an act to appease Bebel at this moment. This was not something that Luz had asked for, and she didn't listen to Luz much in the first place.
But, why did the little black man do that?
In fact, long before Luz spoke, the little black man suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart when he saw Bebel's uneasy appearance. Although Beibel usually treats the little black man coldly, in fact, the little black man does not hate her and wants her to suffer because of this. Like that kind of revenge mentality of-for-tat, it may be because the little black man has not yet been cultivated and understood, so it has not germinated.
But...... Maybe it's because the little sunspot is naturally simple.
As for the motive for trying to calm her nervousness...... Why did you come here......
Xiao Heizi remembered the previous dream, the days when he became a household pet beast, the owner of that memory seemed to be often cared for by the owner who raised him, and that long-term feeling had been deeply rooted in his heart.
Kuroko's desire to appease Bebel's impulses and mend her fragile mind may be a natural act influenced by "that cultivated feeling".
The giant white ants burst into the huge earthen nest, and as soon as they entered, they were greeted by an open space. Built-in in the space are the utensils that have not been removed by the previous user, which are placed in different positions. Judging from the placement of the utensils and the categories of utensils used, this large oval space inside seems to be a hall used for receiving guests.
The giant white ant paused, its tentacles shaking and touching the surface of the ground, searching for the familiar scent of its companion. On the inside of the hall against the wall, several oval-shaped openings can be seen. The little black child is not sure where these holes will lead, and if the logic of the construction of the nest is the same as the reference map that appeared to her in the encyclopedia in her head, then the several holes in front of her are connected by complex pathways. If you don't stay here for a long time, the shopkeeper who runs this termite nest, outsiders like the Luz, will probably get lost and trapped here.
The segmented tentacles of the white ant's breath stop moving. As if it had found the target it was eager to seek, it drove its legs to move quickly, and without hesitation, it picked one of the holes in front of it and rushed in.
The legs of the white giant ants are symmetrically arranged on the left and right, and the steady rhythm of stepping on the ground sounds like a machine, echoing in the oval tunnel space.
"Hey, it seems to be getting more and more interesting. ”
Luz was initially troubled by the white ant's disobedience, but after understanding its intentions, she immediately followed its actions, expecting an interesting outcome from the unexpected unfolding.
The passage in the cave is really the same as the encyclopedia in the brain reminds us, and it does not go straight to the end. At each distance traveled, there will be forks in the road connecting multiple pathways. But the fork in the road in front of it does not affect the choice of the white giant ant, and it is very quick to decide the direction to go.
This nest is very complex, but it is solid.
"Little Kuroko, I think this situation is very incredible. Such a huge nest, the interior is run through multiple pathways, and the structure is still solid, do you want to know what the reason is?"
Luz spoke in a relaxed tone, the white giant ant was uncontrollable, and she was not afraid. Obey the behavior of the giant ant, accept the unpredictable journey led by it, the unknown tension, she likes it very much, and is in a good mood.
Luz seemed to share this feeling, and her mouth unconsciously wanted to talk to someone. It would be nice if her emotions indirectly affected Bebel.
