The team was split in two.

Under the orders of the protagonist, the seven flying knights set off and flew back to "Dongyang Castle". The protagonist is worried about them, and although it is the first time to come to such a northern place, they will not get lost as long as they move along the edge of the forest along the way. There are also several nests of paving ants along the way, which can be used as signposts.

The Eagle and the Praying Tiger continue to follow the army of paving ants under the leadership of the protagonist, and the reduction in the number of scouts means that the actions can be more flexible, but the responsibilities of each member also multiply.

The army of paving ants set off after the sun rose, and the tight legions formed a long marching column, stretching dozens of meters in front and back.

The army of paving ants traveled in a northwesterly direction, and the secondary nests that passed by along the way sent troops to join them.

By the time the army arrived at the nest at the edge of the mountain forest that afternoon, it had gathered an army of nearly two hundred legions, and there were fifty thousand paving ant warriors.

The army of paving ants stopped at the secondary nest on the edge of the mountain forest, ready to spend the night.

The secondary nest could not contain so many troops, so only a few of the Paving Ant Warriors were able to enter the underground nest, and the large army had to spend the night on the ground, looking for a leeward spot.

Fortunately, the temperature is already high, and the camping ants will not be frozen to death and frostbite.

The protagonist continues to inhabit the hollow of the tree with the Fly Eagle and the Praying Tiger, and there are many trees nearby, so it is not difficult to find a suitable place to spend the night.

The protagonist looks up, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he can see the dazzling golden light reflected from the rocks on the top of the high mountain in the distance.

What a majestic mountain it is, the protagonist looks up at the top of the mountain, and his neck is almost broken.

Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, is more than 8,000 meters above sea level, and the actual height from the top to the foot of the mountain is only about 4,000 meters.

Comparing the body shape of a human and an ant, if an ant is half a centimeter long, it will have the same height when looking at a 10-meter-tall tree as a two-meter-tall climber at the foot of the mountain when looking at Mount Everest.

And now, the mountain that the protagonist is looking at is more than 500 meters in relative height by human scale, and the sense of majestic pressure is even stronger.

In his previous life, the protagonist had never seen Mount Everest, and he didn't know what kind of mood those climbers were in when they looked up at Mount Everest.

But at this moment, all he could do was marvel at the natural beauty in his heart, and a sense of holiness welled up in his heart.

No other insect could understand his feelings, and the ants had poor eyesight, and they couldn't see the details of the mountains at all from such a distance. Therefore, the protagonist hides this emotion back in his heart.

Halfway up this mountain, there are continuous woods that stretch south to where the protagonist is.

The place where the protagonist spends the night is at the edge of this wood, an area with sparse trees.

Judging by the direction of the army of paving ants, they should be inside the woods tomorrow.

Paving ants are ants that prefer to live in sparsely wooded plains, so why would they organize an army and venture into unfamiliar wooded areas? Perhaps the mystery can only be solved after seeing who they are fighting with.

- I'm the dividing line -

That night, the reconnaissance team was attacked.

After being attacked by wasps before, the protagonist learns his lesson and changes his habit of being alone, this time bringing a fly eagle and a praying tiger as guards.

Ants have poor night vision and are unable to rotate their shifts at night. For this purpose, the protagonist has specially developed a vigilance strategy at night.

The protagonist first ties the reins of the fly mounts to a tree branch so that they cannot fly away.

Later, the protagonist uses some ant silk to form a cordon around the camping site, and the end of the ant silk is tied to the fly.

In this way, if there are other insects or ants in the vicinity, then they are bound to trip over the ant silk. Flies are very sensitive, and when flies feel abnormal movements on the ant silk, they will be eager to flap their wings and fly away, which can also provide early warning for the protagonist.

This system saves the lives of the protagonists and their mounts at night.

The protagonist, the Flyhawk, and the Praying Tiger had slept soundly, but since the protagonist forced all his subordinates to sleep for several hours at night, the Divine Envoy King's army had become accustomed to this routine.

And the effect is significant, and the protagonist has noticed that ants that are good at night and that they age much more slowly than ants that are not rested much. Predictably, a good night's sleep can even prolong the ant's otherwise short life.

While everyone is asleep, the protagonist is awakened by the sudden sound of a fly flapping its wings.

The Eagle and the Praying Tiger were dazed and didn't know what was going on, and although there was a full moon hanging in the sky, they were now like blind men.

Only the protagonist sees that not far from the place where Xiaoqing II was tethered, a huge hideous insect is approaching.

It's a megalodon.

The giant tooth fly is a species of insect of the order Macroptera, both male and female, with a pair of huge teeth at the front of the head, a fierce appearance, and an ugly face. The huge toothed apparatus at the front of the head is also the origin of its name.

Behind its head, after a transition of an elongated neck, a long, narrow body covered by large wings can be seen.

It is said that the megalodon only feeds on plant sap, but the megalodon in this world doesn't know if it has mutated, and the protagonist can also feel this megalodon's desire to hunt flies from such a distance.

Xiaoqing II took off to escape, but the reins tied it to the branches, and it could only fly a short distance, completely unable to escape.

Perhaps seeing the predicament of the "prey", the giant toothed butterfly began to get closer a little bit, a pair of huge teeth wide open, and it seemed that it could easily sandwich Xiaoqing II into two pieces.

The protagonist takes immediate action, he can't afford to lose Xiaoqing II, when he will lose not only his mount, but also the vital food above.

The ensuing battle is lackluster, and when the protagonist arrives, the Megalodon is no match at all.

Despite the size of the opponent, despite the terrifying appearance of the megalodon, although the sneak attackers of the night have natural weapons.

But in front of the protagonist's divine power, the giant tooth butterfly didn't last long, and was thrown out by the protagonist holding a tooth and spinning.

In that scene, readers and friends can refer to the scene where the Hulk in pants throws the Abrams tank.

The small commotion is quelled, the protagonist calms down his mount and teammates, and everyone falls asleep again.

The protagonist thinks that the arrival of the Megalodon may be an omen - if the scout team follows the army of paver ants into the woods, where the terrain is difficult and there are many fierce insects, there may be more and more dangers.
