At the end of July, the protagonist finally gets the new gear he has been dreaming of.

This piece of equipment is made from materials from the Red Fire Ant Territory obtained from the Bell-bellied Ant, and is very useful.

At this point, the protagonist has completed all the preparations before the long-distance flight.

July 29, fine.

There was a thunderstorm just two days ago, and the air is still very fresh.

The midsummer rain is like this, when it comes, it is too fast to react, and when it leaves, it is as fast as a fleeting thunderbolt.

Although the ants can predict the weather changes in advance, they can't predict the weather in a day or two, so the protagonist can only pick a day that looks good and prepare to set off after being ready.

Today is good, the wind is beautiful, there are few clouds in the sky, no matter how you look at it, there will be a sudden rainstorm and you will be drenched in the soup caterpillar.

A group of ants gathered on the platform at the top of [Xinyang City], and an ant and a fly were surrounded in the middle, which was to send off the king of the gods.

In the middle is naturally the protagonist and the mount "Little Black", I saw that the protagonist was relaxed, except for a bag around his waist and his usual obsidian dagger, there was nothing on his body. He was still chatting with the ants next to him.

But "Little Black" has a lot of things piled up on his body, which looks very hard.

In addition to the saddle and bridles, "Little Black" has a package the size of three mung beans placed on his abdomen, which is made of ant silk cloth, tied with tough ropes, and contains some dry food and props.

On the left side of the saddle hung a bag containing three fire bomb slings, and on the right side of the saddle was a spear with a slight copper tip.

Connected to the obsidian dagger on the protagonist's body, this is all the weapons that the protagonist carries, he usually doesn't have a mace, it's too heavy, and "Little Black" can't afford it.

Anyway, the protagonist is not going to war, just to deal with the dangers along the way, with his huge strength, even if he does not enter the state of "gods descending to earth", there are no insects that can afford to provoke, as long as he is careful not to fall into danger.

Although the protagonist has tried his best to reduce the amount of luggage, he can't give up a lot of things when he goes it alone. The weight capacity of "Little Black" is almost squeezed to the limit, carrying all the luggage with maximum load.

The protagonist has experimented before, and although it looks pitiful, "Little Black" can still fly, that is, it is slower, and the flight time is shorter.

A few days before takeoff, in order to compensate for Xiao Hei and to reserve the physical strength of the mount, the protagonist let go of "Xiao Hei" to eat a lot of good things, and even exported honeydew and scarce fat were supplied in large quantities. Therefore, "Little Black" will not appear in a short period of time.

Eyes returned to the protagonist, and at this moment, all around him were the characters with heads and faces of the Divine Envoy King Legion in [Xinyang City], basically all of them were male ants, except for the immortals.

The protagonist first intersects with the tentacles of the oldest stag elephant among the male ants left behind, entrusts him with all the matters of [Xinyang City], and asks the armored bull and centipede python on the side to assist.

Ccentipeda had experience in leading flying knights, but later became the commander of the ground forces at his request, and the protagonist additionally entrusted him to cultivate and train a group of large worker ant flying knights in his absence.

The protagonist communicates with the Celestial Immortals again, and the Celestial hopes to protect the protagonist's side, but she can't control the flies, and she can't find a second fly in the whole [Xinyang City] - all the flies and maggots were eaten as medicine during the plague, and the only one left is the fattest one, which is "Little Black", the protagonist's current mount.

Dispelling the resentment of the immortals, the protagonist let her stay at home with the Praetorian Guards in peace. [Xinyang City] is not without the contradiction between male ants and large worker ants, the protagonist is fine when he is there, and when he is not there, in order to avoid moths, he can only grieve the immortals for a while.

The Divine Envoy King's legion really can't withstand internal friction, and even the simple ant colony has such a split within it, and it is difficult for the protagonist to do it, so he can only try his best to bridge it.

For example, the centipede, who was originally a subordinate of the dragon eagle who betrayed the army of the god envoy king, and the relationship is very close, and the thinking is also conservative, the protagonist can only be not very relieved on the one hand, but on the other hand, he can only use his experience to make him contribute.

Letting go of the worries in his heart, the protagonist finally said goodbye to the ants who saw them off and stepped onto "Little Black".

Without the help of ants, the protagonist ties the harness to a pair of hind limbs - this is requested by the protagonist himself, and there is no help from worker ants outside, and the protagonist has been trained to quickly put on and take off the harness in case of accidents.

When the preparations are made, the protagonist waves at the farewell ant colony - this is human etiquette, and shakes his tentacles - this is the way the ants do. As soon as he pulled the reins, "Little Black" immediately flew into the sky.

The flight trajectory of "Little Black" is a gentle ascent, while the average fly likes to climb at a steep angle whenever conditions allow for accelerated takeoff. The reason why "Little Black" did this was that, on the one hand, he had been trained and knew that a rapid climb would be very uncomfortable for the flying knight, and on the other hand, the luggage was a bit heavy, so it was easier to climb slowly.

Although it was not the first flight, and "Little Black" did not rise sharply, the strong sense of weightlessness still held the protagonist's heart tightly until "Little Black" flew to a height of about five or six meters above the ground and entered level flight.

This is a physiological response that can only be overcome, not shielded.

[Xinyangcheng] became a small mass on the ground, the ants on the take-off platform became small dots, and the large poplar tree was still towering, and the canopy had to be seen only when it was looked up.

Driving "Little Black" around the poplar tree, the protagonist flies in a north-west direction.

From the heights, you can see a long mountain range on the other side of the river, north-west, and the marsh is located on that side.

There are several hills near the swamp that stand out, and the protagonist only needs to find these landmarks to reach their destination.

And according to the distance of visual inspection, the distance of the mountain range is not close, the so-called Wangshan running dead horse, even if it is flying, the protagonist is estimated to have to walk for two or three days to enter the mountain. Combined with the time spent searching, it would be smooth if you could reach the swamp in a week.

Fortunately, now [Xinyangcheng] has no external and internal troubles, and the protagonist can leave with confidence.

The only hidden danger is that the food he carries can only be used for himself and his mount for three days at most, and he does not carry water, so he can only find water as he walks.

Fortunately, it's summer, water is abundant, food is abundant, and it's not difficult to find water supplies along the way!

In the blink of an eye, the wide Qing River is crossed, and the protagonist enters a region alone that he has never reached!
