In the silent woods, the light is dim, and the dense canopy of trees intercepts most of the sunlight, and only a few sunlight can pass through the gaps between the leaves, projecting on the ground in the form of pillars of light, shining mottled spots of light on the dead branches and leaves that have been old for many years, this is the phenomenon of Tyndall woods.

On the ground, where the sun barely shines for a short time, weeds and shrubs are struggling to survive. The woods are a world of trees, but shrubs and herbs have also taken root here.

Every year, weeds die, but seeds of hope remain. The shrub grows year after year, and some varieties eventually rise from the cutthroat competition to become a member of the tree.

Some vines are mercilessly stranglehold trees, and along with thunder and lightning, wildfires, and borers, they are the death of trees, but they also allow the plants of the woods to keep circulating.

The woods are quiet, and there is no large-scale animal activity between the trunks of the tower-like trees, and from a distance, you can only see the branches swaying and hear the leaves rustling.

The woods are lively again, with borers gnawing on wood in every trunk, caterpillars on the leaves, and moving beetles and beetles on the trunks.

The most lively is under the dead branches and leaves, which is a paradise for countless insects cowering in the dark.

Today, in a small corner of the woods, a strange combination has appeared: an ant riding a fly tiger.

The duo made their way through the most visible and flat routes, seemingly unconcerned about the dangers they might encounter.

This is, of course, the protagonist and the poor fly-tiger reduced to a mount.

By controlling the fat and juicy snail meat in his hand, the protagonist can control the direction of the fly, now named "Tempest".

The reason why he is so bold to walk on the uncovered route is that the protagonist is self-assured of strength, plus the speed of "Tempest".

"Tampeste", on the other hand, is completely immersed in the food not far in front of him, and it has never eaten snail meat, and after the protagonist gives it a taste, it inevitably sinks.

It's no wonder that, even in the human world, snails are the ultimate delicacy in some cuisines.

Human consumption of snail meat has a history of more than 2,000 years, snail meat is nutritious, delicious, is a high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol health food, rich in more than 20 kinds of amino acids and rich snail enzymes, SOD, etc., edible, medicinal and health care value is very high.

In the French feast, baked snails are a famous dish, which is fragrant, tender and memorable. The general method is to cut the pre-treated snail meat into cubes first, and then cut the shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and ham into cubes. Then beat the eggs into a bubble paste and set aside. Fill the hot pan with cooking oil, push in the diced ingredients, fry the snail shell, seal it with egg bubble paste, and finally steam it for about one minute, then take it out and put it on a plate.

In recent years, Chinese food has also developed spicy snails, spiced snails, curry snails and other ways to eat, which are no worse than hemp.

Although "Tempest" eats raw snail beef, he was also conquered in an instant, and his appearance of feasting made the protagonist itch, and he couldn't wait to return to "Waterfront City" and get a piece of cooked snail meat to try.

After coming to this world, the protagonist has basically never starved, and has slowly adapted to the common food of ants (but eats it after cooking), and almost forgot about this kind of food that can be found everywhere around him.

The carapace of the snails, which they are proud of, is an obstacle that other insects find difficult to overcome, but it is no different from being undefended for the protagonist.

Riding "Tempest", the protagonist's movement speed is greatly increased. Ants and spiders moved quickly to the south, and along the way, there were no other eyeless insects to attack them.

Soon it will be dark, and before that, the protagonist can already hear the sound of running water, and then soon he can see the river.

The protagonist takes "Tempest" and finds a gap in the root of an arbor by the river to shelter from the wind and rain, and gets into it together for the night.

"Tampest" finally ate the piece of snail meat that had seduced him for most of the day, although the mucus on the snail meat had been completely dried by this time, and it lacked a juicy and tender taste, but it had a different flavor.

At this time, "Tampest" doesn't want to take the opportunity to escape, as long as the protagonist can provide it with these snail meat every day, no, every once in a while. The little fly tiger knows that he can't eat this delicacy on his own.

There was limited space in the gap, and an ant and a spider snuggled together tightly for the night, holding the furry body of "Tempest", although it was a little prickly, but it was very comfortable.

In his sleep, "Tempest" also comfortably leans against the protagonist, and in the cold night, the body temperature of the protagonist does not decrease rapidly like other insects, but continues to emit heat, so that the little fly tiger unconsciously leans towards him.

The next day, the ants and the spider continue to hurry, at which point the protagonist does not even need to hang a piece of meat, and the completely tamed "Tempest" will follow the guidance of the wooden stick in the protagonist's hand. This IQ is much stronger than the fly that the protagonist has domesticated before.

In order to praise the well-behaved "Tampest", at noon the protagonist catches another unlucky snail and feeds it meat. When the protagonist knocks on the snail's shell, "Tempest" waits obediently to the side, with a pair of big eyes shining and eight feet scratching anxiously, quite like a Wang Xingren waiting for his master to reward bones.

The protagonist is hungry again, and along the way he only finds a nightshade plant, and eats a black nightshade fruit that tastes like a tomato, quenching his thirst but not starving.

However, the days of suffering finally come to an end, and that afternoon, the protagonist sees the tree where the "bridgehead" is located from afar. Now, it has been established that it is a linden tree.

Calculate the distance traveled in the past few days, and Xiaoqing II really flew a long distance with him at that time.

Back at the "bridgehead", Lamberto immediately greeted him. In the past few days, the protagonist has disappeared, but everyone thinks that the protagonist has gone to the main lair to attend the king's meeting, so it has not caused any bad effects.

The protagonist asks, Xiaoqing II did not fly back to "Waterfront City" and "Bridgehead", otherwise the defenders would have noticed that something was wrong. It seems that Xiaoqing II has flown back to "Dongyang City......

In the past few days, "Waterfront City" and "Bridgehead" have been developing step by step according to the plan left by the protagonist before, and the recent paving ants may be busy with the wedding ceremony, but there has been no worrying about the large-scale siege of "Bridgehead".

The protagonist sends a herald to "Waterfront City" to have a flying knight fly back to "Dongyang City" to bring Xiaoqing II back as soon as possible, and he still needs to ride it to the main lair.

After calculating it, after such a few days of delay, it is estimated that the protagonist has already been absent from the wedding ceremony, and now he can only rush to the pre-war preparation meeting!
