Chapter 3: Leg Essence
Walking out of the anthill, Xiao Ran was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The whole world was painted silver by the clear moonlight, and when Xiao Ran looked up, he found that his world was no longer the city he was familiar with and the lights were brilliant, but the countryside where insects screamed and were kissed by the moonlight.
"Ah, there is such a night in the world!ah, there is such a moon in the world!" he sighed, looking up at the huge and bright, the sky full of dense stars.
Xiaoshan looked at the stunned Xiao Ran and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"IāI suddenly wanted to recite a poem. ā
"Then you groan. After confirming that Xiao Ran was in good spirits, Xiao Shan continued to walk forward with his head drooping.
Xiao Ran cleared his throat, four of his six feet were off the ground, and his two tentacles danced wildly in the air, and began his chant with emotion:
Ah, the moon!
Ah, you see,
This month is big and round!
......
After walking north for about an hour, the two ants finally reached the place of death.
The Land of the Dead is different from the grassy anthill, and when you climb a stone staircase, it is full of stones. Xiao Ran immediately reacted, this is the eaves where he played with ants when he was a child.
For humans, under the eaves is a good place to shelter from the wind and rain, rest and enjoy the shade, but for ants, this barren land is indeed not a good place, plus the legend of the giant demon, this is a real place of death.
Xiao Ran climbed up to a high place and looked in the direction of the anthill, the place of death was only seven or eight meters away from the anthill, and he actually followed the hill and walked slowly for more than an hour. Xiao Ran thought, it seems that Xiaoshan is really reluctant to the anthill, so he walks so slowly.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"It's finally here!"
"yes, yes, I thought they weren't coming!"
A group of ants surrounded Xiao Ran and Xiao Shan, and Xiao Ran learned from his memory that this group of ants was also driven out of the anthill.
"I'm peppercorns. ā
"I'm Rattan Pepper, his younger brother. ā
The two ants enthusiastically hugged each other and had a close contact with Xiao Ran and Xiao Shan.
"It's good that you caught up, otherwise, we would have lost all our rations!" The dark skin of the pepper was a little yellow, like a symptom of malnutrition.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but think, was driven out of the anthill and escaped from the queen ant, can the lone ant really live like this? He has also seen on the Internet that some ants do act alone, but he has never heard of it, and lone ants can still form swarms and pairs!
Tengjiao couldn't echo and said: "Yes, yes, thanks to you for coming in time!"
What is this nun girl, what is it, what happened overnight, Xiao Ran can't figure it out at all.
Hua Jiao seemed to see Xiao Ran's doubts, and said, "That's the case, Xiao Ran." The whole ant colony, everyone knows that you are the last one every time you are scored, if it weren't for Xiaoshan helping you every time, you would have come to this place of death a long time ago. So we're all betting on when you'll be in the Land of the Dead. ā
Bear, last place...... Last place again...... Xiao Ran was speechless.
"My brother and I bet that you will be distributed here before the night of the moon, and sure enough...... Hahaha...... Let me guess correctly!" Hua Jiao turned to the other ant and said, "Xiao Sen, three grass seeds, hand them over!"
An ant shook his head, walked up to Huajiao, and said, "I am willing to lose the bet, I will give!"
Xiao Ran felt a strong scent of trees coming into his nose, no wonder his name was Xiao Sen. It is no wonder that the body smell of Sichuan pepper is numb and refreshing, while his younger brother rattan pepper is numb and green.
The small hill has a heavier smell of sand and gravel, so it's no wonder it's called a mountain wandering. It turns out that ants take their names based on their smell, so they are called burning wings......
Xiao Ran thought of this, and sniffed the smell of his body vigorously, strange, there was no smell of burnt feathers!
After Pepper wins Komori's bet, the other ants also liquidate their bets. Hua Jiao just enthusiastically told Xiao Ran Xiaoshan about the things here.
These exiled ants have found a new place to live in the crevices of the rocks to hide from the leg spirits that may appear at any time. They can only move in the confines of the stones, because where there is grass, it is all the territory of the Empire. Food was so scarce on the stones that the ants, which should have been swarthy, grew less black.
"Then why don't you find a new place to use as an anthill?" asked Xiao Ran.
"Yo, you're a dragger, where did you get so many questions. Without the queen ant, none of these ants will listen to anyone. "Pepper Road.
"How can we live without a new anthill. "Xiao Ran has completely classified himself as one of the exiled categories.
"Aren't there more than seventy ants still alive!Don't worry, let's go back to the anti-sperm cave first!" said Hua Jiao.
The so-called anti-sperm cave is naturally a cave found to prevent leg sperm, Xiao Ran thought to himself.
Compared to the Empire, the conditions of the anti-sperm cave are much more rudimentary. The so-called anti-sperm cave is nothing more than a stone crack in the stone wall. The house of Xiao Ran's hometown, with stone walls and green tiles, can avoid the cold in winter and cool in summer, it was one of the best houses in the village back then, but he never imagined that in just more than ten years, this house with infinite scenery in the village was now covered with dust and empty.
What's even more unexpected is that the gap in the stone wall has become a refuge for himself to hide from the leg spirit.
"What the hell is a leg spirit, and what does it look like?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Leg spirit?" Hua Jiao stopped, the two tentacles against Xiao Ran's tentacles, stood there motionless, and after a while, he said: "There is a kind of goblin, all legs from the neck down, for the leg spirit." ā
