Chapter 34: The Sorcerer
Multiply!

The fragrance of salt-and-pepper bamboo shoots permeated the entire seabuckthorn wasteland, and after a while, the imperial worker ants harvesting in the artemisia jungle were also attracted by the smell of salt-and-pepper roasted bamboo shoots.
Salt and pepper meet the protein of barbecue, seducing the appetite of each ant.
"Ahem, ahem!"
An old ant came slowly.
Xiao Ran looked at this old ant, the old ant looked very strange, is this also an ant of the empire?
"Ahem, ahem!"
The old ant coughed twice before he said slowly, "This is the ...... Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations?"
Huh? This old ant can speak so fluently! Xiao Ran was shocked.
"Yes, this is the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations. Xiao Ran replied in a mustache.
"That'...... And who is the Demon Terminator?" the old ant asked.
Why did this old ant know himself, Xiao Ran was a little strange, but he still replied, "It's me." ”
The old ant listened, nodded, and turned to the ants and said, "Then who is the first ant to create popcorn?"
"It's still me. Xiao Ran said again.
The old ant was obviously a little surprised, he turned to Xiao Ran, and exclaimed: "I heard that the Demon Terminator can finish the two-legged giant demon, and the popcorn created the first ant to make a peerless delicacy, these two completely different professions, how can it be you?"
"It was indeed me. Xiao Ran patiently explained.
At this time, Tengjiao stood up and said, "Where did you come from, where did you get so many questions." ”
"I? I'll tell you when I'm done. The old ant said.
Xiao Ran pressed the head of the rattan pepper, pressed the rattan pepper back a little, and said, "Let him ask first." ”
The old ant continued to ask, "What about the bamboo shoot insect delicacy expert?"
"It's me, too. ”
"Zerg language expert?"
"It's still me. ”
"Persimmon King, Leg Essence Buster, Roast Crab Ant?" the old ant had obviously determined the answer behind it, but still continued to ask.
"It's all me. ”
"Ahem!" the old ant coughed twice.
Xiao Ran thought to himself, this old ant always coughs, it can't be some tuberculosis, cough disease. If that's the case, you have to isolate it immediately.
Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't speak, the old ant climbed onto the kerosene stove and wanted to see the salt and pepper bamboo shoots from above.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly asked the rattan pepper to stop the old ant, he didn't want to let the old ant contact the pepper and salt bamboo shoot worm before confirming whether the old ant had a cough.
"Oh!" the old ant seemed to see Xiao Ran's thoughts, and said: "Ahem is just the old man's mantra, don't worry, the old man is not sick, ahem." ”
"Are you really sick?" Xiao Ran asked.
"I'm not sick!" replied the old ant firmly.
"No, no, no, you go down and take two steps. Xiao Ran continued to test the old ant.
The old ant climbed onto the stove and walked back and forth twice, only to see that he was light and strong.
Could it be that his slow movement just now was just because he didn't want to move because he was old? But looking at the old ant in front of him, he was indeed healthy and disease-free, Xiao Ran thought to himself.
So Xiao Ran let the rattan pepper go, and let the old ants go to the kerosene stove to observe the pepper and salt bamboo shoots.
Multiply!
Multiply!
The smell of roasted bamboo shoots and worms continues to fill the air.
"It smells so good...... Ahem...... The old ant took a long breath and continued, "Okay, okay, it's time to introduce myself." ”
When the workers heard that the old ants were going to introduce themselves, they all cheered up. They were all exiled from the empire, and a long, long time ago, the empire began to exile the old, weak, sick and disabled to the land of death to feed the leg essence, so in the empire, such an old ant, in the impression of these worker ants, has never been.
The old ant said: "I am from the Shangxuan Empire 20,000 centimeters away, and I am a wizard of the Shangxuan Empire. ”
Wizards? The Ant Clan also has the profession of Wizard? Why haven't you heard of it in the Empire...... Xiao Ran is a little strange, but after thinking about it, he can become an ant, and among the ants, there is a wizard, what is so strange,
The old ant continued: "I found you as early as when you were transporting persimmons, and I thought it was strange at the time, how could there be such a stupid worker ant to carry away the huge persimmons, which are bigger than hundreds of ants piled together, I thought, isn't it stupid to transport persimmons." But what makes me even more strange is that there is a holy armor priest of the Red Shovel Clan who helps transport the huge persimmons. Later, I sent the intelligence officers of the Xuan Empire to secretly investigate, and found that you not only transported the persimmons back, but also made persimmon cakes. This is really surprising. ”
"What's so strange about this, our prime minister is an ant in the ant world, and what other ants can't do, our prime minister can do. Rattan pepper said proudly.
"Ahem...... Young ants should be humble...... "The old ant said.
"I'm just telling the truth. Rattan pepper said.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
This cough is a bit like a real cough, and the old ant is obviously choked by the words of rattan pepper.
Xiao Ran thought badly, the old ant sent a spy to investigate the situation, but he didn't know anything, but he only focused on preventing the Artemisia Empire, if its ant colony attacked, wouldn't it......
He asked the old ant, "Then why did you come here?"
"Ahem...... The Shangxuan Empire has just gone through a rebellion, and I heard that the Sperm Cave is taking in all the exiled ants, and I wonder if it will accommodate me. The old ant said.
"Of course!" replied Xiao Ran, "the anti-sperm cave of the past, the current sea buckthorn Zerg United Nations, is open to all homeless ant cells. ”
"Ahem...... "The old ant sighed again and again, "I take the liberty of asking, do you have my share of this salt and pepper bamboo shoot worm in front of me......
"Of course, since you have joined the Sea Buckthorn Insect United Nations, you are one of us, so you can naturally taste the delicious food with everyone. Xiao Ran said.
The workers who came to see the excitement of the empire, and when they heard Xiao Ran say this, they were all eager to become a member of the United Nations of the Sea Buckthorn Zerg.
But Xiao Ran continued: "We welcome all homeless ants, but we never welcome ants who betray their empire!"
The Empire's worker ants listened and had no choice but to give up. A few of the worker ants said, "If only they were exiled!"
"yes! I've been eating grass seeds lately, and I'm really throwing up. ”
"yes, yes, I want to be exiled!"
......
After the kerosene lighter was extinguished, Xiao Ran first instructed the ants to bring a fallen leaf that had been carefully cleaned with morning dew, and then asked the spear eighteen ants to pull up the pepper and salt bamboo shoots that were worn with needles and threads and put them on top of the fallen leaves.
All the worker ants watched and waited for Xiao Ran to taste the first bite before distributing food to everyone.
Xiao Ran took a bite of the somewhat burnt meat, and the moment he chewed it, all of a sudden, a familiar and unforgettable, salty and fresh fragrance with the fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns filled his world.
This kind of salt and pepper delicacy that only humans can only eat, and finally let me eat it when I have become an ant clan!
The road of oil and salt has not been opened in vain, and the exploration of bamboo shoots is also very worthwhile!
After Xiao Ran took a bite, he instructed the workers to come forward and line up to eat. The workers were divided into eight directions and lined up in eight teams, and stepped forward in turn to taste the delicious bamboo shoots.
The old ant took a bite, and instantly burst into tears.
"Ahem...... It smells so good!"
