Although one small crab was repelled by the heroic ants, many more were still digging and enjoying a rare meal.

In the "Salt City" where the nest was destroyed, ants continued to rush out and try to fight back, but in the face of huge monsters, their siege tactics suffered heavy casualties and were difficult to achieve.

The protagonist and Xiaoqing II stop at a nearby tree, anxiously watching the tragic scene on the ground. He couldn't tell which ants were his subordinates, the worker ants and soldier ants brought to "Yancheng" by the tumor, these were the protagonist's old subordinates who had been trained in "Dongyang City" for more than a year, and they were familiar with the unique jobs in the territory of the Divine Envoy King, and he was distressed to lose any of them.

He looked up at the sky, and in fact the sun was already setting in the west, and it would not be long before it would be dusk.

River crabs were originally nocturnal creatures, but in a world with no natural predators, river crabs have become accustomed to foraging during the day when there is plenty of food and resting at night. As long as the ants can endure and hide for a little longer, the river crabs will retreat and retreat to the lake to rest.

However, there is still a steady stream of ants pouring out of the "Salt City", completely ignoring the death and injury, trying to repel these invading monsters.

More and more ants are pouring out, and it seems that it is no longer just the alarmed ants that are passively fighting back, but an organized attempt to attack the monster.

The protagonist is so anxious that he thinks that the king of "Salt City" may be organizing ants to fight back, perhaps in the face of ordinary enemies, which can be called heroic. But in the face of a group of monsters that are almost flawless, and trying to solve it by force, that is recklessness.

The protagonist has no good impression of the king of "Yancheng", and he has suggested not to provoke these river crabs, but the king does not listen, and by the time he realizes that the momentum is not good, it is too late, attracting many river crabs to besiege the city. Now he is making a faint move again, commanding the attack indiscriminately, sacrificing the heroic ants in vain, bringing even more painful losses.

The protagonist originally planned to wait until the sun was getting dark and the river crabs receded, and then he would enter the "Salt City" and direct the military and civilians inside to evacuate, which was safer. This nest has been targeted by crabs, these monsters will definitely not let go of the food inside, come back every day to forage, "Yancheng" is doomed to be unsafe, it is better to stop the loss in time, build another new city or wait for the river crab breeding season to come back to the city.

But now, he felt it was necessary for him to enter the nest early and stop the meaningless counterattack of the ants.

Although the river crabs on the ground are rampant, the protagonist is sure to arrive at "Yancheng" unscathed. There were more than a dozen of them, and they focused on feeding on the ants that came close to them. As long as they keep a safe distance from them, they don't bother to move to attack an ant walking around them when there is plenty of food.

The protagonist's vision is better than that of both river crabs and ants, and he can completely map out a safe path for himself. Even if he encounters a hundred thousand urgent situations, the protagonist can also enter the state of "gods descending to earth", and at this time, any river crab is not his opponent. Of course, the sequelae of "the gods descend to earth" are also very serious, and the protagonist does not want to use this life-saving technique unless it is absolutely necessary.

So, the protagonist ties the reins of Xiaoqing II to a petiole beside him, and climbs down the branches and trunk.

Seeing the rider leaving, Xiaoqing II didn't know whether to follow or experience the rare freedom of flying, so he immediately spread his wings and prepared to rush into the sky obliquely. But it was immediately pulled back by the reins, and the blades on the petioles did not even move. The defeated Xiaoqing II can only continue to crawl in a small area, quietly waiting for the protagonist to return.

The protagonist quickly climbs off the ground, over the undulating ground and vegetation that blocks his way, and soon arrives near "Yancheng".

All the entrances and exits of the nest are cleared of vegetation and debris, leaving a flat area for the ants to gather and dry their food. "Yancheng" is no exception, but at this time, the originally flat grassland has been occupied by more than a dozen river crabs, and the ground is dug everywhere uneven.

Everywhere there are big-headed ant soldiers and worker ants running around, attracted by the smell of river crabs, and they attack them in groups, but with little success. Giant river crabs, on the other hand, wield equally huge claws and are eating non-stop except for the occasional ant that tries to attack their eyes. Every time the crab claws are handed to the mouth, an ant dies.

The protagonist nimbly changes his path and tries to pass through several river crabs, always staying out of the claws' attack range. Occasionally, when you have to venture through, you can find the gap when the crabs are eating. Soon, he was half the way forward.

As he moved forward, he used his vocal organs and air glands to give instructions to retreat, trying to reduce the ants' losses.

There was no Wang in command at the scene, and the tumor should be strictly following the protagonist's orders and hiding underground. And the local king of "Yancheng", it seems that after ordering his subordinates to fight back bravely, he did not intend to take the risk to the ground himself.

The ants on the ground are fighting back with instinct, there is no command, no division of labor, and they will pounce on and bite any river crab they catch. Such an attack will naturally achieve half the result with half the effort, and it will be difficult to achieve results.

As the only king on the ground, the scent commands emitted by the protagonist carry a higher authority, and the ants who receive the sound and smell signals also send out the same signal, and then retreat behind the protagonist.

The protagonist doesn't expect to save too many ants, after all, hundreds of ants and more than a dozen river crabs are distributed in a wide open field, and the fighting is extremely fierce, and the ants are basically unorganized, and there must be ants who can't receive orders to retreat.

When the protagonist is about to arrive at the entrance and exit of "Salt City", he discovers that something is not planned, putting himself and the retreating ants behind him in danger.

A huge river crab is at the entrance and exit of the original "Yancheng" that has been dug out of the pit, where ants are constantly gushing out of the ground, and it seems to recognize that the food here is the richest, and it drives away the other clans, monopolizing this "buffet meal".

This giant river crab lies here, and any ant trying to enter or exit the half-ruined "Salt City" will have to venture under the pair of giant crab claws.

And as the protagonist's retreat signal spreads, there are already underground ants that have received the order, and fewer and fewer ants are pouring out of the ground.

In this way, the protagonist and the hundreds of ants behind him who are preparing to return to the nest are very eye-catching.

While eating, he observed the huge river crab around him with his compound eyes, and soon locked onto the protagonist's team, and turned his body around, coming towards the protagonist!

The protagonist is immediately in great danger!
