The protagonist takes a group of ants all the way along the main passage to the exit of the nest, but it doesn't go well at first, a soldier ant carrying a vehicle and sunflower seed kernels, trying to climb uphill, is hit by a worker ant holding the seeds and can't see the direction clearly, and then rolls a few times together with the weight on his back before stopping. The protagonist hurried down to check, but fortunately, the soldiers were fine, and the vehicles and food on their backs were also intact, and the rope was slightly loose, so the protagonist had to re-tie it again.

Next, along the way, the protagonist has to keep driving away the other ants, so as not to knock down the soldier ants with the load and luggage. The guide ants are already waiting there. And it's not just one ant to guide the way, there are also four strong soldier ants around her, who are bigger than Mulan.

The protagonist recognizes these strong soldier ants at a glance as Lao Wang's personal guards, and has been threatened by them before, and now he is actually sent out to be the bodyguards of the guide worker ants. The protagonist feels that the guide ant is becoming more and more mysterious, so he decides to name her Xiaomi.

Now that it's time to come up with a name, the protagonist simply works hard and names all the ants in his team. Then, named after the protagonist's consistent urine, the ten soldier ants responsible for carrying the luggage are named Force 1, Force 2, Force 3 until Force 10 by the protagonist, and the ten soldier ants responsible for the defense work are called Wei 1, Wei 2, Wei 3 until Wei 10, and the remaining ten worker ants are called small characters by the protagonist because of their small size: Xiao 1, Xiao 2, Xiao 3 until Xiao 10. Oh, there are also four strong soldier ants brought by Xiao Mi, so they are called Zhuang 1, Zhuang 2, Zhuang 3, and Zhuang 4 respectively!

Anyway, these ants don't need this kind of syllable word to distinguish identity, and they don't show disdain for the level of the protagonist's name.

The protagonist briefly communicates with the secretary, knowing that she is ready to go. The secretary is very curious about the vehicles that the protagonist brought, and the protagonist explains, but she still can't understand the main thing to do. The protagonist ignores her and gives the order to set off again.

The little secretary led the way with the four of them in front, and the protagonist followed closely with the main force of the team, and first crawled out of the cave in the formation of a long snake.

The protagonist shields his forelimbs from the harsh morning sunlight outside the cave, by which time the morning sun has risen quite a bit, and the golden sunlight pierces the blue sky, beating on the yellow carapace of these ants. The weather was still good today, the wind was not strong, and a dragonfly was seen high in the sky.

After getting used to the light, the protagonist hurriedly directs the team to keep up with the secretary in front. In the middle of the team is the force 1 of the weight forward, although the burden is not light, but their speed is not significantly behind, Mulan with Wei 9 and Wei 10 fell behind the end of the team.

Legend has it that the lair of the relatives with fire is to the west of the lair, and the little secretary leads the protagonist and his party to move forward with their backs to the sun, which also happens to avoid the trouble of the dazzling morning sun directly hitting the compound eyes.

This small team soon left the range of the daily activities of the nest of its fellow species, and there were fewer and fewer worker ants nearby.

The team basically walked under the bushes and weeds, and the path that the little secretary took was not a straight line, some twists and turns, but it was basically on solid ground, and even if there were occasional boulders or mud puddles blocking the way, there was always a small path that could accommodate the ants to pass through, eliminating the trouble of constantly detouring and climbing. If it weren't for such a fast track, the large number of old dead branches and leaves alone would have brought a lot of difficulties to move forward.

The protagonist is curious about this trail that allows ants to pass quickly, which doesn't look like it's completely natural. The protagonist rushes to the front, advances side by side with the little secret, puts a tentacle on the tentacle of the little secret, and raises his doubts to the little secretary.

While hurrying, the secretary explains to the protagonist that this path is indeed not natural, and that this lair will send a team to the main lair twice a year, and over the years, it will find a relatively suitable smooth path. Each team that goes to the main nest will also clear new obstacles along the way, and if they can't clear it, they will find a new way around it. And the reason why Xiao Mi is so familiar with the road is not only because she has been to the main nest once, and she can judge the general direction of progress according to the direction of the sun on the way. And there are plenty of pheromones on this expressway to guide you around.

These pheromones are not the ordinary pheromones that ants leave behind on a daily basis, and ordinary pheromones tend to evaporate within a few days. When the protagonist hunts and meets the praying mantis, the guards dutifully spread pheromones along the way, so that they can easily find the route back to the nest.

This pheromone is a long-lasting pheromone that only male ants can secrete, and in the past, male ants would scatter these pheromones along the way on rocks and other landmarks that are not easy to move, and although the taste is very light, it can be retained for eight or nine months. However, on the other hand, male ants can secrete and store very few pheromones, which are not easily wasted.

Of course, the protagonist has the skin of an ant, and he doesn't know anything about how to use pheromones, and he doesn't smell pheromones along the way.

Traveling on the expressway is not only fast, but also relatively safe, and many sections of the road pass under fallen ancient trees, huge rocks, etc., which are not easy to be spotted by outside creatures.

Before I knew it, I had been walking for half a day, the sun was high, and the air was gradually scorching. Although the ants walk in a shady way, the protagonist can also feel the temperature in his body rising, and the ants are ectotherms.

For half a day, the protagonist does not find a single creature that can only pose a threat to himself. I also saw a lot of insects along the way, including spiders, caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets, butterflies, etc., and generally did not interfere with the river water with the well water of the ant team. Occasionally, the reckless guys happened to stand in the way of the ants, and they were soon unceremoniously driven away by the Zhuang 1 who opened the way.

Along the way, the protagonist doesn't see a bird, a lizard, or a mammal. The protagonist can't help but wonder, where have all these common creatures gone? Everywhere you can see only insects and arthropods.

But it's a good thing that there is no danger, at least there is no need to drill into snail shells.

After climbing for a long time, the protagonist felt that his little physical strength had been exhausted, so he quickly climbed onto the silk bed carried by Force 9 and Force 10 together, and rested on his stomach. At the same time, enjoy the scenery along the way.
