The protagonist leaps across the battlefield and heads north.

According to intelligence, the other two lost secondary nests are due north.

At the beginning, after the fall of the secondary nest garrisoned by the Western Legion, the army of paving ants went all the way south along this breakthrough and captured the other two secondary nests.

When the Big-headed Ant Kingdom Army launched a reconquest war, the battle plan was also to prepare in order to regain the three secondary nests from south to north.

As a result, the two lost secondary nests in the north are now the rear of the Paving Ant Barbarian Army.

The protagonist needs to go to these two places to reconnoitre, and if his guess is correct, the garrison in these two places will be weak, and this may become a breakthrough and turning point in the war.

The first Lost Nest is about a half-day's walk from the battlefield, and it only takes the protagonist more than half an hour to arrive.

It is a very common secondary nest, the nest is built on a small plateau, the terrain is several meters higher than the surrounding area, and the entrance and exit of the nest are open under a large rock in the south.

The protagonist perches on a boulder and condescendingly observes the nest.

Some paver ant worker ants are moving in and out of the nest entrances and exits, and there are dozens of paver ants moving within the eye of the sight.

Although there are not many paver ants that can be seen on the surface, this does not mean much, and there may also be a large number of paver ant barbarian warriors hiding underground, ready to come out and fight at any time.

After thinking about it, the protagonist decides to grab a "tongue" to understand the situation.

The protagonist rides Xiaoqing II and takes off again, flying about a few dozen meters away from the entrance and exit of the secondary nest, hiding Xiaoqing II on the branch of a shrub, and then the protagonist jumps to the ground.

Just now in the air, the protagonist has already chosen a target, which is a paving ant worker ant foraging alone.

On top of that, this paver ant worker ant is moving on a small piece of gravel, about a few tens of square meters, with sparse vegetation on which the protagonist can get a good view.

The paver ant worker ant kept climbing up the only plants it had, trying to search for plant seeds, but found nothing.

The protagonist observes for a while, judging the pattern of the other party's movements, and then cautiously approaches him from behind the paving ant.

The eyesight of the paving ant worker ant is not good, as long as the distance is a little farther, it is all blind spots, but the protagonist is still meticulous, because once he fails, he is easy to startle the snake.

Unaware of the potential danger, the paver ant and worker ants continue to scurry up and down the plants, and the protagonist soon approaches a distance of less than three meters from her.

The last distance is the most dangerous, as the other party can already see the moving objects within this range vaguely, and will become alert.

The protagonist lurks not far from the roots of a plant, stops any movement, and looks up.

In the protagonist's line of sight, the paver ant worker ant quickly climbs down from the plant, and she returns empty-handed, and the plant has not yet produced edible seeds.

But she won't be discouraged, there are dozens of plants nearby waiting for her to explore. These plants may be explored every day, so most of what the paver worker ant does is useless, but it's not meaningless. It is the repeated exploration of countless worker ants day after day that provides valuable food for the nest.

As the worker ants stepped onto the ground and headed for the next stalk, she suddenly felt an unusual vibration on the sand beneath her feet.

Her innate instincts made her sense of danger, and she wanted to turn back to see what the threat was, and then point her sharp jaws at the source of the threat and tell the other person that she was not easy to mess with.

But she was too late.

The protagonist crosses a short distance of several meters at breakneck speed, and before the hapless paver worker ant can turn around, the protagonist has climbed onto her back and pressed her head to the ground with his left forelimb.

If it were any other ant, she would definitely choose to subdue her by holding her neck with her big jaw, but the protagonist doesn't like this, and the habit he has developed since his human days makes him prefer to make movements with his hands rather than with his mouth.

The paving ant worker ant struggles desperately, but the protagonist's huge strength is not something she can resist, her head is buried in the gravel, her jaw opens and closes indiscriminately, and some rough sand falls into her mouth, which hurts a lot.

The tentacles and limbs on his head were also dancing wildly, but they couldn't touch the assailant behind him.

The protagonist holds one forelimb against the opponent, and the other forelimb grips the opponent's waving tentacles tightly and holds them in place.

The protagonist then leans his tentacles over and begins to read the information in the other person's mind.

This method is used by the protagonist when facing parasitic ants and paving ants.

Generally speaking, if the ant refuses, the protagonist will not be able to forcibly read the information in his head. However, the protagonist had the idea of interrogating the parasitic ant captives before, and he also made a plan. Although it was found that the parasitic ant brain was completely unguarded and useless, it can still come in handy here.

At first, the protagonist tries to read the information directly in the mind of the suppressed paver ant worker ant, but sure enough, it fails, and the worker ant seems to have a barrier in his mind, isolating the protagonist's conscious tentacles.

Then try it according to the plan.

The protagonist first sends a question: "Are you a paver ant?" ”

Sure enough, the paver ant replied in the affirmative.

Ants rely on consciousness to communicate, so big-headed ants and paver ants can also communicate with each other, unlike humans, where there is a language barrier between different races.

And the protagonist sent a question in the past, the paver ant did not refuse to answer, because there has never been a hostile interracial exchange in history, and the paver ant naturally does not have the thinking of guarding against interrogation, they answer all questions according to instinct, because only the ruling class like the male ant will initiate an inquiry, and the worker ant cannot refuse the male ant's inquiry.

Similarly, according to the protagonist's previous experience, ants do not lie, at least worker ants and soldier ants never lie. The protagonist first asks a question with a very definite answer, which also verifies that the other party is responding truthfully.

Second question: "Are you a worker ant?" ”

The other party still gave a positive answer, and it was also a reply that the protagonist had already known, as the protagonist expected.

Then, the protagonist can naturally ask the questions he cares about.

However, the worker ant showed obvious resistance to complex answers, and only gave answers quickly when answering yes or no.

Therefore, the protagonist can only constantly adjust the content of the question, so that the other party can answer his question with affirmation or negative.

Soon, the protagonist gets some of the intel he wants.
