Chapter 72: Distant Attack (2)
After a while, the leading termites came out and said to Xiao Ran: "The owner of the village, please." ”
Xiao Ran followed the lead termites to the hole, twisting and turning, with countless branches, if there were no internal termites to lead the way, I was afraid that if I walked here for a day, I might not be able to reach the destination. Further down, there was almost a glimmer of light. Xiao Ran could barely see anything clearly, only that the anthill was huge.
No wonder the eyesight of this termite is so poor, they live underground for a long time, feed on grass roots, tree roots, and rotten wood, and many termites will never get out of the nest in their lives.
The division of labor of termites is also divided into queen ants, soldier ants, worker ants, and ant kings, and there is no difference between them and the ant tribe in terms of division of labor. For example, their abdomen is completely different from the abdomen of rattan pepper and Komori.
It's no wonder they call themselves mantis, not ants.
After a long walk, the cave became wider and the glimmer stronger.
The lead termite suddenly stopped, and said in the ancient contact language: "Here we are, this is our queen - Bai Huisheng." ”
What, the queen ant? I don't see it. Xiao Ran took a closer look, only to see some white walls in front of him. They didn't admit that they were ants, and even abandoned the surnames of ants and ants.
"Hmm, where is the queen ant?" asked Xiao Ran to lead the termite.
"Right in front of you. The lead termite re-emphasized.
Xiao Ran listened, took four or five steps back, and re-examined the wall in front of him.
No, it's a huge old female worm, the kind of bug the size of the hairy species, but it's all white. Xiao Ran immediately reacted that the queen ant would indeed become huge because of her continuous fertility.
Xiao Ran climbed some distance to the left, and finally saw the queen's head and asked.
The leading termite stepped forward, pressed the tentacles against the queen's tentacles, and after a while, ran over to Xiao Ran and said, "I have told the queen ant about your coming, and the queen ant asked you to go, and she wants to say hello to you." ”
Xiao Ran stepped forward and resisted the tentacles of the giant ant.
"Huh...... You are the Prime Minister of the Seabuckthorn Empire?"
Without waiting for Xiao Ran to speak, the queen ant asked first.
"Yes, it's me. ”
"What, hehe, the legendary persimmon king, is you?"
"It's me. ”
"Good, hehe, good. And what jam pioneer, also you?"
"Yes, it's me. ”
"Hehe! It's really good, young and promising. You're the sugar god ant too?"
"It's me. By the way, Lord Baizhai, we came this time and happened to bring some brown sugar made by the Sea Buckthorn Insect Clan. Xiao Ran said.
"Oh, good, good, good, tell Xiaobai to bring it over for me to taste!" Bai Huisheng said.
Xiao Ran looked around, the little white she said should be the leading termite, and I don't know what this little white is called. However, this queen ant seems to be so large that she can't move on her own because of her constant reproduction.
Pepper handed a small piece of brown sugar to the lead termite, and the lead termite tasted it, and after half a minute, he handed the brown sugar to his queen.
"Tsk...... It smells so good!"
Bai Huisheng expressed her sigh before eating. She first spoke what she was going to say to Xiaobai in contact language, and then Xiaobai spoke to the four ants.
Wow!
Let's chirp, chirp.
"It's so sweet!"
Let's chirp, chirp.
"It's delicious. ”
Every time the queen eats a few bites, she uses Xiaobai to convey her exclamation.
After eating, Bai Huisheng asked the lead termite to come forward and help her wipe her mouth. Then she said, "I am very satisfied with the food, and now you can tell what you wanted." ”
"Our intention is to make more brown sugar like this. Xiao Ran said.
"More brown sugar?hehe~ This is called brown sugar!hehe~ If you can make more brown sugar, then what are you waiting for, hurry up." Bai Huisheng seemed to be more impatient than Xiao Ran.
"However, there are two obstacles in the way of making brown sugar. Xiao Ran said.
"Which two obstacles?"
"The first obstacle is the new method of making brown sugar, which requires a long section of bamboo, and we ant tribes do not have the ability to gnaw on bamboo, so we want to ask you for help. Xiao Ran said.
"It's simple. Don't talk about bamboo, even if you find a giant tree, we mantis can do it. What about the second obstacle?" replied the queen.
"The second obstacle is because the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations is separated from the Wind Village by the Shangxuan Empire. And this Shangxuan Empire regards our Sea Buckthorn Zerg Clan as an enemy. Xiao Ran said.
"This ...... Although it is said that the enemy ant of the enemy ant is a friend. However, although we in Tempest Village used to fight with the Xuan Empire, those were all things in the past. We in Tempest are peace-loving and don't want to fight anyone. Bai Huisheng said.
"However, since we are our common enemy, why don't we join forces and attack the Shangxuan Empire?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Huh...... Tut-tut, life and death, the way of nature, the way of nature, the mandate of heaven, the mandate of heaven, cannot be violated. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, and we will definitely contribute to the production of brown sugar. But when the army marches and fights, we will never participate in it again. Bai Huisheng said.
What the......
Isn't this the same as the worker ants in the anti-sperm hole, making food, you can fight for it, but in addition, it involves life and death, if it is not a war forced by other populations, they will definitely not work hard.
It seems that both termites and black ants have the same personality - they will never betray delicious food, as well as their own lives.
Xiao Ran saw that Bai Huisheng was unconvincing, so he said: "In that case, then after the road of the Xuan Empire is opened, I will come to seek your help to make a long bamboo tube." ”
"Tut-tut...... It's good. I only gave birth to 5,000 eggs today, and the task is far from complete, so I won't accompany you. Bai Huisheng said, and then ordered the lead termites to send Xiao Ran and his party away.
Although the crisis of the Shangxuan Empire has not been solved, the main components of the second-generation juicer can be settled. Xiao Ran pondered as he walked in the direction of the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland.
But because of the Shangxuan Empire soldier ants ambushed under the persimmon tree, it took a lot of time to walk from the sea buckthorn wasteland to the wind village. And now to go back, you still need to go around the persimmon tree and walk farther.
Xiao Ran only felt that he had walked for a long time, this was only a hundred meters, and it didn't take ten minutes when he was a human being, but now he walked for several hours.
Before you know it, the sun has gone west. The autumn sunset is more orange than other seasons, soft and feminine.
Walk and walk until the sun has completely set, and Xiao Ran and his party are still an hour's trip away from the sea buckthorn wasteland.
In the distance, the birds "coo" and "coo" non-stop, and the insects on the roadside also "chirp" and "chirp" in agreement. After a few more moments, the night was three minutes deep, and the frogs began to sing, croak, croak.
When we were about to reach the sea buckthorn wasteland, out of nowhere, a few more dog barks were heard.
On such a night, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be full of poetry, so he wrote a poem:
Chirp chirp chirp
Coo-goo
Whew,
Woo woo~
Quack, fool, quack, fool
When rattan pepper, Komori, and Jiulixiang heard it, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Prime Minister, what is the name of this poem that has no ancient ants before?" asked Fuji Pepper.
"Let's call it "The Return of the Night Ants"!" Xiao Ran looked up at the stars in the sky.
