Chapter 20: The Scared Gold Thief (Asking for Votes)

This cave leads directly to the middle of the ant nest, where Shi Lei placed the gold nuggets, and it seems that this gold thief is very familiar with the location of the gold.

And the action should be fast, these poisonous ant armies did not have time to gather and encircle and suppress the invading enemy, and the gold was stolen by the opponent.

Moreover, this thief, who should not be large, completed the action of gnawing gold in the process of running out of the cave, and also bit all the ants in close proximity by the way, which shows how fast its movements are.

The ants were too busy repairing their nests to pay attention to the fate of the stolen gold.

Shi Lei, who dug the cave, saw the miserable picture in front of him, and he wanted to cry without tears.

Holding back the heartache, Shi Lei carefully cleaned up the scattered broken gold, and it was a little bit to recover a little loss. Carefully holding these belongings in his hand, Shi Lei's mood finally improved a little. Although it is fragmented, it seems that the total weight is not much different from the previous one, which means that the loss of gold is still very limited.

Also, although this world is already very magical, and many things are beyond one's cognition, a real creature that eats gold should still not exist.

Although the descendants who ate everything still made edible gold leaf, under normal circumstances, gold was swallowed and used to commit suicide, and it was necessary for rich people to do so.

I just don't know what the purpose of this thief is to do this. Looking at this familiar way, he is still a veteran.

"Ah, gold-eating ants." Shi Lei patted his head, simply put the gold nugget in the cowhide bag around his waist, and ran towards the gold-eating ant's nest with his things.

Since the target of this little thing is the gold, those nests are also threatened.

Hurriedly running to the dense area of the gold-eating ant nest, Shi Lei was a little annoyed to find that he had forgotten to prepare a tough net in a hurry. This little thing must be very fast, and there is no guarantee that these things will be able to catch this gold thief.

At a glance, the situation that Shi Lei was most worried about really happened. Next to the ant nest closest to the periphery, a passage has clearly been dug up, and I only hope that the ant nest, which has been reinforced by a new type of ant alloy in all directions, can withstand the attack of this thief.

Cautiously approaching the position of the passage, Shi Lei felt that his heart was pinched again. The gold scattered in the passages, and the miserable-looking corpses of the copper peas, speak for themselves.

Shi Lei decisively gave up the idea of collecting gold to recover the loss, and hurriedly moved to the next ant nest to find out the situation.

Another passage was placed in front of Shi Lei, but it seemed that this thief had not been able to succeed yet.

Trying to lighten his pace, Shi Lei simply knelt down at the entrance of the cave, and covered almost the entire entrance of the cave with his two big hands like a fan, first blocking all the thieves' retreats.

Looking through the gap between his fingers, Shi Lei finally saw the thief for the first time.

It resembles a pet bear, but it is larger and has a much more developed front paws. He has golden-yellow hair and even shines like gold.

At this moment, its dagger-like claws were swinging rapidly, knocking down the many gold-eating ants that tried to attack it to the ground in pieces.

The cute appearance of this thief did not make Shi Lei relax. Shi Lei, who has seen the excellent performance of the latest ant alloy, can fully imagine what kind of destructive power is hidden under the seemingly harmless appearance of this little guy.

Its minions are no worse than those divine weapons, or they wouldn't be able to dig up these sturdy ant nests. What's more, many of the copper peas that it swept down at this time were directly divided into corpses by this seemingly fluttering swoop.

Occasionally, there are a few gold-eating ants, which are stuffed into the mouth by the little guys, and they are really chewed and eaten like beans.

What made Shi Lei even more jealous was that this little guy seemed to be fast-forwarding sixteen times, the same speed as an action movie, as dazzling as a shrew, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the other party at all.

And Shi Lei also found that even if a few gold-eating ants successfully bit the thief, the formic acid that had left a deep impression on Shi Lei failed to cause any obvious damage to the thief. It shows that this little guy's defense is also very strong.

It seems that this thief is completely the nemesis of these gold-eating ants, and everything that the gold-eating ants are proud of has lost its effect in front of this little one.

Could it be that nature's balancing act is working again? Specially made such an opponent out?

At this time, Shi Lei made a difficulty, covering the passage with his hand, hoping to catch the thief, which is also the only way that Shi Lei is more sure of now.

But looking down at his hands, Shi Lei really couldn't bear them. You can't just leave a few holes in your hands just to grab such a small thing. In terms of the attack power and attack speed shown by this little guy, this is basically a certainty.

Just when Shi Lei was entangled, the guard sent to this ant nest, the transformed killer scorpion, finally took advantage of the chaos and secretly came to the back of this thief.

The scorpion sting, which had already been ready to attack, popped out violently and nailed into the little guy's body.

Although the poor guard was immediately stuffed into the mouth of the little guy and chewed on it in disbelief, its venom obviously still played some role.

The little guy's movements are obviously getting slower and slower, and more and more gold-eating ants pounce on its body, spitting strong formic acid on the little guy's body without hesitation.

After a terrible fight, the gold thief finally fell headlong in the ant colony. Only the occasional flick of its front paws suggests that it is not completely out of life.

Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Shi Lei almost wanted to cry without tears.

The loss of gold is bearable for the time being, and anyway, according to the experience of the previous search, the gold has not really been eaten. Shi Lei's most distressed thing is still those copper peas. Without so many lovely, hard-working little miners, the long-term losses would have been great.

Is it just looking at this little guy, being torn apart by angry gold-eating ants? What's in it for you?

It's better to test if you can turn it into your own pet. I'm equivalent to an unnoticeable strong fighter.,It's also good as a back-up move.。

Thinking of this, Shi Lei hurriedly stopped the actions of the gold-eating ants, and asked these strong men to simply carry the gold thieves out.

As Shi Lei expected, this little guy was just in a state of suspended animation. After the gold-eating ants stopped attacking, the strong anti-poison ability even gave it signs of slow recovery, and its own transformation must be done quickly.

Shi Lei pinned all his hopes on the animal modification system.

It was mentioned in the previous system's description that the animal that was caught also recognized as having the right to it.

Moreover, the transformed animal can also ensure its complete loyalty to its owner, that is, Shi Lei.

This time there is also a chance to test it, if it doesn't work, it will only be a pity for such a rare pet, left to the gold-eating ants to vent their anger.

Slightly apprehensively, he put his hand on the little guy, Shi Lei also carefully adjusted the position of his hand, and pinched the little guy's neck like pliers.

In case of an accident, you can break the neck of the little one before he escapes. In the face of such a big killer, you can't be too careful.

"It can be retrofitted." The animal modification system finally did not disappoint Shi Lei, who was anxiously waiting, and gave a positive answer.

It's just that in the direction of transformation, Shi Lei has a headache. This little guy's anti-poison ability, and physical defense, have reached the peak, and the attack power of the minions can not be further strengthened, these have been denied by the system, so there are very few places that can be strengthened.

"Increase its agility and strength." In the end, Shi Lei had the idea of giving it a try, and reported the remaining two things that he thought were more useful.

Unexpectedly, the system actually said that there is room for further strengthening, so the potential of this little guy is too strong. If you encounter a fully grown one, it's hard to say whether you'll be able to leave it behind. This time it's all a bit of a fluke.

"The renovation is complete." The cold voice of the system woke up Shi Lei, who was in deep thought, suddenly. This little guy's previous performance was too scary, and Shi Lei couldn't be nervous.

Under Shi Lei's cautious gaze, this little guy quickly opened his eyes, and it seemed that he was only in a state of suspended animation before, and his recovery ability was also very strong.

The little guy's pair of small but very divine black eyes are still a little confused, as if they have just woken up, but I don't know if it will get up very much.

Shaking his head a few times, the little guy who was a little sober stared at Shi Lei seriously for a long time, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing his aggressive front teeth.

But its eyes are obviously full of kindness and joy, that is, this little guy is laughing?

The little guy slowly moved towards Shi Lei, and Shi Lei, who had been on alert, almost jumped up directly. Seeing that the little guy really didn't mean to attack, he obviously wanted to get closer, so Shi Lei stopped his movements.

sniffed back and forth around Shi Lei, is it to be familiar with the meaning of the master's breath? After that, the little guy quietly squatted in front of Shi Lei, posing as if he was begging for a hug.

After making sure that this little guy would not pose any threat to himself, and commanding this smart little guy, after making a few moves, Shi Lei completely let down his guard.

Shi Lei, who relaxed down, found that this little guy looked stupid and cute. Shi Lei couldn't help but hold the little guy in his hand and observe it carefully.
