Chapter 216: Human Extinction?

The few remaining items are of little value, or don't see much use.

One is a long strip shape, which seems to be made of plastic or resin, and even with triple protection, it has been rusted and cannot be seen as it is.

A ring, perhaps a ring, is also heavily corroded, and may have had a very important meaning to the original owner.

In the end, it was a mass of powder, barely gathered together, and I don't know what it was before.

With such a comparison, the protagonist can see that the nameplate and the three ant models, the material is really extraordinary, except for the surface oxidation and dullness, there is no serious damage in the long river of time.

The nameplate protagonist has already seen it, and he rewinds the information package in his mind to carefully observe the sculpture of the three ants.

This is not an abstract ant sculpture created by the artists, each one is exquisitely carved, the details of the big jaw, compound eyes, and carapace gaps are all lifelike, and they also conform to the physiological characteristics of ants.

And the appearance of the three ant sculptures is not the same, and the protagonist quickly recognizes that one of them is in the form of a male ant, with a well-developed chest, but not a big head, exactly the same as his current body.

The other two ant sculptures are also of different shapes, but the protagonist does not recognize their specific race.

One of the sculptures is slightly smaller than the sculpture of the male ant, with a relatively short and thick body, but its limbs are long and narrow, its antennae are like thick whips, and its jaws have a very exaggerated arc, just like two scimitars of the full moon, which is extremely lethal at a glance. The most striking thing is that there is no compound eye on this ant sculpture, only two small protrusions in the position of the compound eye, like a single eye. In other words, the ant race represented by this sculpture is almost blind, and can only feel the changes in light and darkness, but has no vision.

The other ant sculpture is much larger, about three times the size of the male ant. The ant is unusually slender, with a head larger in diameter than the chest and abdomen, a sharp bulge on the back, a whip-like ring at the tip of the antennae, and a short, stubby jaw with serrated teeth. This ant does have compound eyes, but they are not large.

The protagonist doesn't recognize these two types of ants, at least he hasn't been exposed to these two species of ants in this world, after all, although ants are widely distributed, except for a few that are adaptable, most of them have their favorite living areas.

The protagonist reads quite a bit of information from these things, and the secrets of the swamp area seem to be revealed a little.

Humans and ants, the different threads of the two worlds, are strung together by these man-made objects and by these ant sculptures. Humans and ants, two worlds, two civilizations, there must be some kind of unknown meeting point.

The protagonist has put this matter aside for the time being, human beings are too far away from him now, judging from the appearance of these relics, I don't know how much time has passed, and there is a great possibility that human beings no longer exist in this world, so the protagonist has never found any evidence of human existence in the past few years.

And not only humans, but also mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even fish, these creatures have never been seen.

If this is a deep mountain and old forest, humans may not set foot on it for many years, and naturally they will not be seen by the protagonist. But birds, rats, frogs, fish, these animals are ubiquitous and widely distributed, and they have never appeared. This only leads the protagonist to speculate that in this world, insects are already the most advanced animal forms, and that no other creatures have evolved or become extinct.

Since there is evidence that human beings once existed in this world, it is impossible for other advanced organisms not to evolve, and it can only be more credible to say extinction.

The protagonist has a bold assumption: perhaps for some reason, the world's humans and large creatures have become extinct, and only the most tenacious arthropods and lower life forms have survived, and the ecosystem has been reconstructed.

And to unravel the answer, perhaps the key lies in the swampy area, where there may be other relics.

It may take a long time to solve the puzzle, and the protagonist can only put this aside for the time being, and he needs to defeat the enemy first and ensure safety, so that he can have enough time and energy to answer the doubts and complete a fact that the human soul must want to figure out.

I'm the dividing line

The next day, the siege of [Spiral Flower City] officially began.

The army of the Divine Envoy King has relied on the walls and moats to encircle the entire [Spiral Flower City] inside and out. The entire underground area of [Spiral Flower City] is basically encompassed inside, and even if the destroyers dig out another entrance, it is likely to be within the scope of the city wall.

A small group of warriors of the king of gods killed through the entrance, and after a tentative attack, they retreated.

The Destroyers built a defensive line not far underground, and several tall Destroyers blocked the main passage, and the Divine Envoy King warriors could not rush through at all, leaving a few corpses in vain.

However, they were originally going to probe it, and the protagonist read the information packet and confirmed that the destroyers were not building defenses underground, and were directly using the original nest structure.

The Jaws of these Destroyers weren't meant to dig up their nests, but they were perfect for fighting.

Since it is very likely that the enemy has not rebuilt the structure of [Spiral Flower City], then the secondary nest of this big-headed ant, like other nests, has the advantages and disadvantages that big-headed ants are familiar with.

The protagonist doesn't plan to attack, and the Destroyers are like bugs when they defend themselves in a narrow underground environment.

But the Divine Envoy King Legion still has a hand of attack that has been played, and the smoke attack.

Some big-headed ants spread out in search of air holes, blocking some of them. Another group of big-headed ants began to dig the combustion chamber, while others went out to collect fuel, smoke and weeds.

The knotweeds that have just grown up after the beginning of spring are still very tender at this time, and the big jaws can bite out the water with a single bite, and they are not as tough and difficult to cut as they are in autumn.

In half a day, everything is ready, although there is no fire, but the protagonist ignites a fire bomb and throws stones to ask for fire, and a large amount of black smoke is quickly produced in the combustion chamber, which is poured into the [Spiral Flower City] along the knotted grass pipe.

However, the soft knotweed was often damaged by the scorching fumes, and was far less durable than the elder's knotweed, so the warriors of the god had to work as maintenance workers, using a mixture of wet clay and ant glue to plug the leaks frequently.

Gradually, black smoke began to come out of the few vents reserved in [Spiral Flower City], and these vents led to the depths of the nest, which were intentionally left. Smoke began to emit from here, indicating that most of the underground lair had been covered in black smoke.

The gods have made the king's army stand by and wait for the dazed enemy to rush out and die!
