Chapter 89: Envoy (1)

The god ant "Little Flower" led the mission on the way to the territory of the leafcutter ants.

Her name is that when the protagonist saw off the mission on the ant mound in [Xinyang City], he looked up at the northwest where the mission was about to go, and saw a large field of purple and red wildflowers on the northwest land, and immediately felt the name and gave it this name.

After all, as a diplomatic envoy, as the leader of the mission sent out by the Divine Envoy King Legion for the first time to contact other forces, "Little Flower" still needs to have a name, so that the protagonist is easy to remember.

And the members of the Divine Envoy King Legion also know that it would be a great honor to be given the name of the Divine Envoy King!

Leaving [Xinyang City], "Little Flower" led the team all the way to the northwest. Soon, the group enters the wildflower bush that inspired the protagonist and gave the name "Little Flower".

It is a herbaceous open field, with little arbors. A small number of trees have escaped the strangulation of weeds and occupied a piece of land after a lot of hardships in childhood.

Perhaps, under the right climate, trees will replace weeds in a thousand years. But for now, at least, it's a world of weeds and wildflowers.

Large purple or slightly whitish Zhuge cauliflower blooms very bright and dense. Unlike the monotony of other wild grasses around the homeland [Spiral Flower City], this piece of Zhuge vegetables is not so domineering, and the scattered rape flowers, camellia flowers, and spiral flowers are dotted in the sea of purple flowers, looking from the air, a bright one.

The ants don't like the beauty of these flowers, but they don't like the dense meadows.

The mission struggled to find its way under the grass, and the tall Zhuge vegetable plants were to ants what humans were to tall trees. In addition, the weeds are crowded with each other, and there is hardly a gap between the leaves and each other.

Even if the ground is a little better, it is quite difficult to walk because the mission led by "Little Flower" needs to carry gifts.

The hardest thing to do was that the mission soon found itself unable to find its way...

Previously, the mission had followed the path marked by long-lasting pheromones, which were left behind by the Paving Ant Exploration Team last winter.

Although pheromones are not completely common between different races, the big-headed ants in the Divine Envoy King Legion can still recognize the unique smell of pheromones left by the paver ants. There is also no need to translate the specific meaning of these pheromones, just follow the pheromones.

Last year, the sea of flowers did not exist, and it was still a land covered with dead grass.

The pheromones left by paver ants are not connected in a straight line, but a typical marker is left at intervals.

Now that a sea of flowers has covered the land, the topography of the surface has changed drastically, and many pheromones have been moved or simply disappeared.

This left the Mission, which relied heavily on pheromone guidance, almost trapped here.

The flying knights in the air were originally responsible for monitoring the mission, but in the sea of flowers, they couldn't see the specific location of the mission on the ground, so they simply ran to the end of the sea of flowers in advance, found a tree, and stopped to wait.

"Little Flower" patiently waited for a few soldier ants to find the location of the next pheromone, and now almost every decimeter walked, there would be such a pause, and it was necessary to rely on the soldier ants to search around to find the next way.

"Little Flower" once wanted to lead the team back the same way, but when they came, they left their pheromones along the way, and it would be very fast to go back.

After returning, you can walk around from both sides of the sea of flowers?

But it's not a good choice. On one side of the sea of flowers is the riverbank, overgrown with reeds, and the road is muddy, making it difficult for ants to pass. The other side is already very close to the control of the red fire ant country, which is prone to danger.

In the end, "Little Flower" led the team to trek through the sea of flowers, and with their natural sense of direction, they finally got rid of the interference caused by the pheromone chaos and left the labyrinth of wildflowers.

When the mission left the sea of flowers, it had deviated several meters from the original path, which was not a short deviation for ants.

Fortunately, the Flying Knights had a large reconnaissance range, and when the mission did not appear at the expected time, the Flying Knights had already begun to search around, and even reported to the Divine Envoy King as soon as possible, causing a false alarm.

After finally finding the Mission, the Flying Knights guided the Mission back on the right path.

Before reaching the woods where the leafcutter ant nation is located, the mission will need to pass through a transitional zone of mixed forests and grasses.

Originally, if there had not been a delay in the sea of flowers, the mission would have arrived at the Leafcutter Ant Country early the next morning. Now I can only find a place in the forest and grassland in advance to spend the night.

Before nightfall, the team members found a stone crevice as a camping site. The Flying Knights returned to [Xinyang City] for the night.

- I'm the dividing line -

On 24 March, the mission and the Flying Knight met after sunrise and continued on their way.

In the morning, the mission finally reached its destination, the edge of a dense forest.

There is almost no grass on the ground of the dense forest, which is caused by the dense trees depriving almost all of the sunlight.

When the mission entered the demarcation line, they stepped into the control of the Leafcutter Ant Nation.

The members of the mission became nervous, after all, this is the land of another race, especially the "little flower", before leaving, the great divine envoy king had told her that this operation might be life-threatening.

"Little flowers" are very smart, and smart individuals will think about the consequences of their actions, and have more worries or expectations.

The flying knights had been hidden, and the occasional sound of flies flapping their wings indicated that the three of them were still nearby. But when I looked up, the canopy of the trees was pitch black, and the occasional few small spots of light that penetrated were very dazzling, and there was no trace of the flying knight at all.

Eventually, after a short cautious advance, the mission came across its target.

Two medium-sized leafcutter ants and a small leafcutter ant blocked the way. Although there were few people, the other party still leaned over aggressively. After all, this is their land, and they need not be afraid that thousands of their companions will rush to reinforce them at the first warning.

There are not many mission ants led by "Little Flower", and they don't seem to be looking for trouble, otherwise if thousands of red fire ants suddenly appeared, the three leaf-cutting ant warriors would have already pulled out their legs and gone back to be in a hurry, and they would not have come up.

"Little Flower" nervously followed the instructions provided by "Old Heart" and prostrated on the ground in an eight-body delivery posture, and the other members of the mission did the same.

It is a gesture that indicates harmlessness and even submission, as in the human world, with hands raised, and is used all over the world.

A small leaf-cutter ant approached, touched the tentacles of "Little Flower" with its antennae, got the message packet transmitted by "Little Flower", and then immediately climbed up the tree to report back to the nest.

Two medium-sized leafcutter ants were left to monitor the "florets" line.

"Xiaohua" finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the other party said the same as "Old Heart", and they didn't start fighting indiscriminately as soon as they came up, and they could still communicate.
