Chapter 32: Ants, Great Leap Forward!
There is no ant tribe without an ant queen, like a plate of loose sand.
But once there is the unified command of Tang Xiao, the queen ant, the high social organization among the ants will operate, and the red ants will have a direction to move forward, the pursuit of ant life, and the beacon of enlightenment......
With enthusiasm comparable to that of the Great Leap Forward, all the worker ants went into battle in unison, waving their forelimbs and jaws, and dug along the previously preliminarily constructed underground burrows to the opposite side of the secretions.
Of course, the main thing is to widen the tunnel.
Because Tang Xiao's size is too big.
Time is limited, Tang Xiao is not idle, it ignores the obstruction of the soldiers, personally goes into battle, the huge front chela is like a heavy excavator, every time the front chela is dug, it can achieve the effect of more than 10 small ants digging more than a dozen times in a row.
It's just that Tang Xiao's movements are too big, and in terms of digging skills, he is far worse than ordinary ants.
挲挲挲 –
The sand rained down on the excavated tunnel, shaking violently, and the soil layer above had cracked out......
"It's going to collapse!" Tang Xiao secretly said in his heart that it was not good, although the sand and soil would not hurt them, but the tunnel that had been dug for half a day would be in vain, and the time wasted was the most heart-wrenching for him.
Click, Click, Click
But the group of red ants did not panic in the slightest, only to see them quickly scatter, crawling to the location of the crack, and then rubbing their mouthparts quickly with their feet, and a little red saliva-like secretion spit on the crack.
Although there is no heat-sensing infrared vision at the moment, insects that are naturally sensitive to temperature still make Tang Xiao feel that the temperature around him has increased slightly.
Those tiny grains of sand were melted into mud in this high-temperature saliva, and then cooled down quickly, sealing the cracks to the brink, which was much more stable than just now.
"Sure enough, it is a special ant that can reproduce and breed here, not only the same food, but also the ability is the same as that of the stinging fire bat." Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised himself.
I thought of the dead silence around me when I first came out of the pool.
It seems that apart from these mutated creatures, there are no ordinary creatures that continue to reproduce here, are they eaten by the monsters guarding the treasures inside?
There are a lot of guesses in my heart, but the movements of my hands do not stop.
has already excavated more than half of the distance, and now that he knows that red ants have this ability, Tang Xiao dares to dig boldly.
The little ants are responsible for clearing the sand around and mending for any cracks that may arise.
"What the hell is this secretion, when did you start eating it, do you know that there are monsters in it?"
While digging, Tang Xiao asked the soldier ants around him.
The soldiers reacted a little sluggishly for a while, and then they understood what Tang Xiao meant, but they all sent a signal that they didn't know:
"I don't know......"
"When we were born, we ate this thing, and its energy seemed to be inexhaustible......"
"If you want to know what this thing is, you have to ask the first generation of males, but ...... It's just that most of them have already been buried with the queen......"
A sense of sadness spread again.
Tang Xiao hurriedly reassured and conveyed a message that everyone should not worry, and the future will be better and better, which made the ants regain their energy.
From the map, it is shown that the location of the treasure is still a few thousand meters away, and the range of the ants is too small to reach that far.
It seems that there is no way to get an answer from them, but one thing can be preliminarily deduced, this is a fire-based treasure, and the energy contained in it is definitely not small.
"That's it!"
"We've dug it up!"
The worker ants in front of them quickly ran over and used their antennae to emit this signal of joy, and a faint red light penetrated through the small opening.
Sure enough, it was already on the other side of the secretion.
Tang Xiao then checked the map again, the red dot was almost to the location of the waterfall, but Tang Xiao believed that in a hurry, it would also choose the method of jumping down from the waterfall, and what was waiting for him at that time would be a fierce crocodile.
Even if it can not die, it should not dare to rush in in a short time.
Settle down a little.
Next, the group of ants began to expand the new den with joy, and Tang Xiao certainly wouldn't waste time with them.
"I'm sorry."
The desire to survive suppressed this guilt.
After casually digging out a groove from the corner to avoid the line of sight, Tang Xiao began to order those majestic soldier ants to come over to protect him.
Of course, these excited soldier ants can only be turned into Tang Xiao's rations to replenish energy and the cornerstone of evolution.
If they still have a queen ant, Tang Xiao may still consider sparing them and not doing this thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but ......
If they don't have an ant queen, it won't be long before they will naturally be wiped out in this nature, rather than they all die, Tang Xiao naturally won't waste it.
"Earn a total of 200 evolution points, +1 fire elemental, and 0.2% of the insect gene chain ......"
Tang Xiao patted his bulging lower abdomen, basically the soldier ants and the strong adult male ants had all been eaten by him, and Tang Xiao didn't spend any more energy chasing the remaining small ants that had escaped.
The harvest of evolution points and gene chains is really pitiful, what he really wants is the fire attribute element, after all, the monsters and treasures inside are very likely to be related to the fire element, so it is very necessary to increase a little heat resistance.
Next......
Tang Xiao crossed the obstacle of secretion and was about to continue exploring the cave and cave, but the display on the map made him feel shocked!
Fast! It's so fast!
That red dot, in just a few minutes after he was eating, had crossed the deep pool from the top of the waterfall and had already arrived at the entrance of the cave!
"How is that possible? Even if you don't meet a crocodile, an animal that can run on the road won't have this speed just by swimming through the water, right?! ”
Could it be ......
Tang Xiao was worried that he would bump into a big guy similar to a fire bat in the air, so he didn't dare to spread his wings, but while sticking to the earth wall, he quickly crawled along the road in the direction of the treasure, his heart suddenly sank, and he thought of a possibility-
The other party does not use running, but wings!
Is it that crimson-feathered strange bird?!
Tang Xiao felt that this reasoning was very possible, and only it could have this kind of maneuvering ability, and it would turn into the form of a snake?
No way.
Tang Xiao quickly denied himself in his heart, although his combat power would double after becoming a snake, but it was too long!
And......
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, and a plan, like scattered beads, was strung together in his mind!
