Knowing that the enemy may be evacuating, the protagonist immediately decides to go to the temporary departure base of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army on the north bank of the Great River to explore it himself.

This is also a last resort.,The enemy's movements are still unclear.,And if you want to know,,Then the protagonist needs first-hand intelligence information.,And this is obviously only possible to know by going to the departure base where people may go to the nest.。 Considering that the big-headed ants do not have the ability to move in the wild, only the unique body of the protagonist can now complete this reconnaissance.

This can be dangerous, as there is a certain probability that there are still a small number of enemy garrisons left in the temporary base, and the protagonist may encounter them.

According to the estimation of the enemy's marching procession for most of the day, even if there are defenders left in the temporary base, the scale is very small, and even if it encounters, the protagonist is still confident that he can escape safely with his own strength.

After making up his mind, the protagonist returns to Waterfront Castle and informs the Legion Commanders of the latest information and his decision to investigate himself. Unsurprisingly, the subordinates discourage the protagonist from risking his life, after all, in the eyes of the male ants, in the colony, they are the brains responsible for thinking, not the eyes responsible for reconnaissance or the hands and feet responsible for execution.

The protagonist is not an ant who can be reasoned with, and he pays attention to it, so he gives an order to let Roll temporarily take full responsibility for the defense of "Waterfront City" in case the enemy army crosses the river from elsewhere, and then launches a surprise attack on this place - although this probability is very low.

The protagonist himself, on the other hand, enjoyed a sumptuous meal: drinking honeydew, eating dried mushrooms roasted with rock salt, ten-ripe roasted mealworm meat, and grass seed porridge, and squatting outside for a day, the protagonist was already hungry, and the food prepared for the protagonist was on call 24 hours a day. Therefore, as soon as the protagonist gives the order, the food is quickly placed in front of him.

After a year of transformation of the protagonist, although most of the worker ants and soldier ants can only eat simple roasted cooked food, it is much better than the previous state of Ru Mao drinking blood, which greatly enhances the ants' digestive ability and body resistance. After the popularization of pottery, in addition to grilled food, boiled food such as various porridges began to become a symbol of high-class food.

After the protagonist has eaten and drunk enough, he continues to wrap himself in his coat of plant fibers, leaves the nest, climbs towards the big banyan tree, and walks towards the unknown land on the north bank of the Great River.

Following the roots of the large banyan tree towards the surface of the river, the protagonist quickly climbs onto the ice.

When the soles of the feet come into contact with the clean and flat ice, a chill comes from the soles of the feet - other ants have few nerves on their exoskeletons, but the protagonist has a keen sense of the physical state, as if he still has a layer of human skin on his body.

The soles of the feet are cold, but fortunately, the ants' feet are small and the contact area with the ice surface is not large, so this heat loss is still acceptable.

Today's weather is very good, the temperature is not low, the sun is on the back of the protagonist, the places without the coat are warm, and the body wrapped in the coat is also very warm, but the soles of the feet are cool, this feeling is wonderful, and the discomfort of the feet is magnified.

"Gotta make one, no, three pairs of shoes," the protagonist thinks as he looks at himself on all six legs.

He walked north along the snow-free path carved out by the paver ants in the ice, a straight depression across the river, which was melted by the paver ants using energy-absorbing substances.

The pavement of the path is lower than the ice, and the ice on both sides is higher than the protagonist's height, which is a good way to block the cold wind that is not strong, but the sun can continue to sask the body without hindrance. I have to say that if it is intentional, the paving ants who build the road still fully consider their own needs.

Walking on the ice path is like walking on a crystal road, the soles of your feet and around your body are transparent and pure ice, and you can see large and small ice patterns everywhere in the ice, some are white and very obvious, and some need to lie on it to look carefully to see the cracks refracted by the light.

The protagonist seems to be walking in the frozen Arctic Ocean in a trance, and it is not the six legs belonging to ants that lead him forward, but many sled dogs, pulling him all the way to gallop.

The sleigh turns around, but startles the protagonist - a large, large, truck-like creature with a dark, hideous face and an alien monster appears in front of him.

The protagonist's cold sweat comes down, and all the fantasies of sledding, husky, Alaska, and Samoyed are gone.

The ice is still the same one, the protagonist is still the six-legged protagonist, and the monster is indeed in front of him, appearing at the corner of the road.

However, the protagonist calmed down, the so-called hideous monster is nothing more than a water spider frozen to death on the surface of the ice.

The water spider, also known as the silver spider, is the only species of spider that lives in water. Water spiders live in trumpet-shaped nests made of spider silk and plant material underwater, which are filled with bubbles carried into the water by body hair. They feed on small animals such as small fish, tadpoles, insect larvae and leeches on the surface of the water and in the water, with males about 15 mm long and females 10 mm long.

When they dive into the water, the waterproof fluff that grows all over their bodies will attach many bubbles, as if they have entered a closed casing with a layer of air. They can also move freely on the surface of the water, using the tension of the water film to ensure that they do not sink.

The water spider seemed to have been frozen to death as it floated on the surface, and the ice enveloped its body, keeping its body from sinking. Due to the protection of the solid ice, this corpse was not dug up and eaten by the paver ants who were short of food, and it just stayed quietly in the ice around the corner, like a specimen in amber, a complete record of its struggle and unwillingness before dying.

After a brief look at the ice sculpture, the protagonist continues to move forward while feeling the wonders of nature. There are many strange sights along the way, such as frozen water spiders, such as the magnificence of the ice field, which cannot be felt when looking at the big banyan tree, and only by getting up close like today can you feel this beautiful scene in the shadow of the winter death.

However, the protagonist is not in much of the mood to enjoy the scenery at the moment, the sun has already crossed the three-quarters of the arc of the day, and there are still two or three hours, and the protagonist must rush back to the "Waterfront City" to spend the night before the sun sets.

The cold touch of the sun and the soles of his feet constantly urge the protagonist to hurry, and he can only move quickly along the icy path, careful not to get the snow particles on his body.

Soon, the protagonist sets foot on the bare black dirt on the north bank of the river.
