The atmosphere at the scene was suffocated.

Time seems to have stopped flowing. Li Yourao's face was pale, her head bowed, and she remained silent, knowing that if she used one kind of lie to cover up another lie, it would lead things out of control.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, she just can't bear to see such a beautiful life become food. ”

Yu Qiyun broke the silence.

In front of smart people, if you can admit and apologize in time after lying, then it is also a choice to make amends.

He could see that the queen also wanted to form an alliance against the tyrannical army of marching ants, because their nests were too simple compared to the leaf-cutting and bull nests, and lacked the necessary defensive design.

Yu Qiyun stood straight in front of the queen, his eyes were clear, and he tried to keep his voice calm.

The sharp gaze on the queen's face slowly converged, revealing a gentle smile:

"For her goodness and your wit, we will not eat in your presence. ”

"Thank you for your generosity, our future cooperation will be very pleasant!" Yu Qiyun smiled and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the blue T-shirt on his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Li Enchanted said softly.

She sighed helplessly, not daring to look at the butterfly's pleading eyes again, she knew that she could not change the fate of this poor butterfly.

……

The hall has regained its previous lively atmosphere.

Queen Miru instructed the soldiers to take the fragile butterfly down, and considering the feelings of herbivores, she decided not to put on new meat.

She clapped her hands, and a group of worker ants suddenly crawled along the wall towards the ceiling, and Yu Qiyun looked up curiously. The mouth immediately opened into a large O-shape.

Li Yourao saw Yu Qiyun's expression, and hurriedly looked up, and then the second O-shaped mouth appeared.

At the top of the hall, there were clusters of golden grapes hanging densely, shining with an alluring luster in the faint sunlight.

An even more incredible scene followed:

The grapes actually moved! With the help of a group of workers who came up, they slowly climbed down the ceiling and along the wall.

When these dozen or so moving golden grapes gathered in the center of the hall, Yu Qiyun and Li Enchanting watch bags were immediately lit up, my God!

These are not grapes at all, but ants with large, round buttocks, and their upper bodies are squeezed thin and small, so they hang from the ceiling so that people can only see grape-shaped buttocks.

Why are there grape-shaped ants?

Why do they hang on the ceiling?

When the ceiling is suspended?

Yu Qiyun and Li Yourao held back laughter and questions, and waited for the queen's orders.

"Have you seen such ants in the far east, in your homeland?" asked the Queen.

"Nope. Yu Qiyun hurriedly said, "It's amazing! Why are they like this?"

He finally couldn't help but ask.

The contrast between this group of grape ants and the other ants on the scene is too great, the other ants are red-headed and black-headed, while the grape ants are all golden-yellow, and if the other ants are sticks, these ants are a ball.

"They are all my lovely children, not born like this, they were the same as my other children before, but for the survival of the tribe, they took the initiative to come forward, and swallowed the honeydew collected by the sisters, one bite at a time, and endured the severe pain all over their bodies to use themselves as a honey pot. ”

After the queen finished speaking, she squatted down and hugged a grape ant beside her in her arms: "Children, hard work!"

"For the sake of the Queen and the Sisters!

All the Golden Grape sisters in the hall chanted in unison.

The ants in the audience stood in awe.

These Grape Sisters are all heroes of the tribe!

They all know that to become such grapes is to endure torture almost every day, but for the needs of the tribe, they have to use their bodies to store food. In times of famine and war, feeding back can provide life-saving provisions for the tribe.

……

It's too cruel,

Yu Qiyun and Li Yourao glanced at each other, and while they were moved, they felt distressed for these ants who had selflessly dedicated themselves.

It also finally made them understand the origin of the name of the honeypot ant tribe.

Li Yourao couldn't help but ask:

"Why don't you find some empty husks to store honey?"

The chief maid immediately responded: "You only know one thing but you don't know the other, the nectar and sap collected outside are still just primitive honey, and they are stored in the body, not only for storage, but also to make more nutritious and delicate honey." ”

Yu Qiyun suddenly realized: "It's like a bee making honey." ”

The chief maid nodded, retreated behind the queen, and stopped talking, she saw Yu Qiyun's gaze softening more and more, and found that this strange blue worm was very good at observing words and feelings, and knew how to advance and retreat as a qualified guest.

If we can really become allies in the future and cooperate, it will definitely be more reliable.

……

"Now for lunch, please sit next to me, two guests. The queen smiled and patted the leaves beneath her, "The children sat down too." ”

Yu Qiyun and Li Yourao just sat cross-legged on the green leaves, and the two grape ants brought their faces up, facing the mouths of the two of them, and opened their big mouths.

Li Yourao stood up in surprise, but Yu Qiyun pulled her down again.

"Thank you very much!" Yu Qiyun opened his mouth.

I saw the grape sister slowly spit out a ball of golden liquid from her mouth with a smile, Yu Qiyun approached and carefully caught it with her tongue, and swallowed it with a clump.

"It's the sweetest honey I've ever had!"

Yu Qiyun had a loud voice and a bright smile.

This honey is indeed very sweet, and his acting skills are sweeter than honey, he knows that only in this way can he respect the tribal heroine of the honeypot ant and win the hearts of the tribe.

Sure enough, the ant sisters in the entire hall looked at Yu Qiyun's gaze much gentler.

This person respects them.

And they return the favor with respect.

Then, together they turned their gaze to Li Enchanting, hoping that she could also make up for the offense she had previously made with lies to the queen with practical actions.

Yu Qiyun pretended to shake his body, and took the opportunity to pat Li Enchanting on the shoulder with his hand, he thought that Li Enchanting should understand what he meant.

The devil is in the details.

Especially at the critical moment of forming an alliance, one's own personal habits and preferences must be compromised for the sake of the big plan.

It's a pity that Li Enchanting was more stubborn than he imagined, and he saw her stand up quietly and walk up to the queen:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality, please forgive me, I don't have a good appetite today, I really don't want to eat, please allow me to go back to my room to rest. ”

She bent down and bowed deeply. When he raised his head, his eyes were firm and did not flicker at all.

She was telling the truth, and after seeing the beautiful yellow butterfly being dragged down, she was powerless to save it, and she had neither an appetite nor a mood for this strange lunch.

The ants present all let out a low roar.

Yu Qiyun sighed, Li Enchanting may be a good bodyguard, but she is not a good messenger.

He was about to open his mouth to make a round for Li Yourao, when he heard Queen Miru say lightly: "Please." ”

Waiting for Li Enchanting's figure to disappear into the doorway, she looked down at Yu Qiyun beside her:

"Are you really a tribe?"

Yu Qiyun nodded, not daring to blink his eyes.
