Chapter 23: Fighting on the Boat (1)

The way to escape behind is thrilling, although there are other Bache leaf ants to chase after them, but the distance is too far to catch up.

After the protagonist goes all the way to the palace, the protection force returns to the ship, he has already seen the pursuers arriving at the moored metasequoia from a distance, and quickly ordered the sailors and ants who stayed behind to untie the cable, and with a push of the wooden stick, he pushed away from the moored metasequoia tree and sailed into the water.

When the walnut fleet was half a meter away from the trees, the Bache leaf ants followed the body odor left by the Divine Envoy King warriors all the way to find the metasequoia tree.

The protagonist sees that among the barcisors gathered is a leafcutter ant whose body size and stature are significantly different from other occupational ants, and that is the male commander.

These males have good eyesight, and when they see the enemy who is moving away, they actually raise their heads to the sky, open their big jaws, and seem to roar silently, looking unusually angry.

Even so, the Bache leaf ants did not give up, I really don't know how some ant eggs stimulate them so much, and it is obviously not difficult for the queen ant to regenerate a hundred or so ant eggs.

Without hesitation, the Barche leaf ants turned around and left the metasequoia and hurried away in one direction. The protagonist takes a look and sees which direction is exactly the direction in which the fleet is being propelled by the current, and there are quite a few trees ahead.

However, as long as the walnut boat does not lean against the tree and anchor, there should be no way for this leafcutter ant to threaten the fleet, after all, they can't fly or swim, what other means can they have to take the Divine Envoy King Legion floating on the water?

After the leaf-cutting ant eggs were placed in the designated cabin, some supplies were discarded to make room.

Then crying, the warriors of the king of the gods returned to their respective cabins, and now they are drifting with the tide, and they can't spread their sails in the wrong direction, and the enemy can't pass, so it's useless for them to stay outside, so it's better to go back.

The protagonist does not go back, he is alone outside the cabin, holding a wooden stick half a decimeter long as a penny, and once the bow of the ship is close to the trunk, he pushes it away with all his strength to ensure that the fleet never docks.

At this point, there was no sign of the Barche leaf ants, and the dense woods in the darkness hid their figures well, and there was no sound, but the protagonist felt that they had not given up yet.

Although he dismissively believes that these Barchet ants can't fly or swim, and there is no means to threaten the walnut fleet, the protagonist still has a faint sense of threat in his heart - maybe the oppression caused by the disappeared Barcheleaf ants.

Although the fleet had been sailing on the periphery of the water groves, there were several trees ahead, and the speed of the ship was slow, and the agility of the Ebacheleaf ants in the trees was more than enough to catch up.

But now they are nowhere to be seen, and the most dangerous enemy is the unknown enemy.

The boat pushed away the water, making a subtle "boom" sound, except for the occasional insect chirping and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, this is the only sound that the protagonist can hear, fragmented, monotonous, and drowsy...

In the dark night, the light is very weak, the moon doesn't know if it's hiding behind the clouds, or it's blocked by the canopy, or there is no moonlight tonight, the protagonist only feels that there is a dull haze around him, and even the waves on the river can't turn a trace of luster, and after looking at it for a long time, it's almost blurred that it's on the water, which makes his sleepiness even heavier.

The fleet was more than a meter away from the nearest tree, which was a safe distance. In the obscure environment around him, the protagonist's consciousness is groggy, and the enemy never appears, making him lose his alertness a little.

Overhead, the canopy of trees completely obscured the sky, and when you looked up, it looked like only a deep black.

The protagonist is on the verge of falling asleep with a stick, and in a daze, he only thinks that after passing through this watery forest and not being blocked by trees, he will go back to sleep.

At this moment, a very soft voice, but still clearly transmitted to the protagonist's tentacles in the night when the background sound is very weak, suddenly sounds, it is the sound of something falling into the water.

Unlike the huge "bang" sound of heavy objects such as stones falling into the water, and not like the silence of leaves gently falling to the water, it is a slight "pop" sound, which is not far away.

The protagonist is still in a daze, but then the second and third voices also come over, right next to him.

It is not until the close distance around him that there is a sound of things colliding with the hull and then bouncing off, and the protagonist finally comes to his senses.

The protagonist followed the prestige, only to see a large Barcheleaf ant floating on the water next to the boat! The body, which is bigger than the protagonist, floats on the water, struggling with all its might!

The protagonist immediately sobers up - how did this Barcheleaf ant get so close to the ship out of thin air?

If you look closely, there are two Barcheleaf ants floating next to the boat!

The protagonist suddenly became alert, and quickly looked up, only to see a black dot that seemed to be slow, fast, from far to near, and then a large swarm of Bacheleaf ants fell like raindrops, enveloping half of the fleet, and crackling an ant rain.

The protagonist wakes up: these Bache leaf ants actually climbed onto the branch above the fleet and jumped down, what a terrible move, how much to hate these egg thieves to do such a life-or-death act!

The protagonist has only seen the parasitic ants ambush the flying knight of the Divine Envoy King warrior in this way, and it is also on land, and there will be no danger when landing.

But it's on the water!

Although it looks spectacular and shocking, the number of Bacheleaf ant warriors who fell was only one or two hundred, and most of them fell into the water, and some of them fell on the hard hull of the ship and bounced into the water.

A large group of ants struggle in the water, and even though these bache leaf ants live in the water forests for a long time, they are not watery.

However, there are also a small number of successful landings on the ship, on the mast, on the hull, on the wooden pole, on the rope, everywhere there are Bacheleaf ants. There are also some Barcheleaf ants who fell into the water and got very close to the boat, or were lucky enough to climb on the boat just before the convoy.

In total, about 30 or so Bacheleaf ants successfully landed on the ship, and the nearest tree that fell into the water was more than a meter away, and it is estimated that there will be few survivors in the end.

As soon as the Barcheleaf ants got on board, they tried to get into the closed hatch by smell, but they couldn't pry it open. The god inside makes the king warrior sense that something is wrong, but without the protagonist's order, he can't go out against his orders, and the ants' brains don't know how to be flexible!

Here, there are Barche leaf ants that are close to the protagonist, and immediately signal with their scent and sound, and then the nearby Barcheleaf ants immediately give up the hatch that can't be opened, and rush towards the protagonist in unison.

The protagonist is fully awake at this time, looking at the Bache leaf ants who are quickly climbing over the cable like walking on the ground, and he still has a sigh of emotion.

These Barchet leaf ants, who are accustomed to moving in the trees, do not feel jerky at all when climbing the cable masts, and are more skilled than the big-headed ant sailors who have been training on the water for a long time, which can be regarded as a racial characteristic!
