After flying near the main nest, the protagonist and his party did not choose to land directly near the main nest, but instead chose a large tree some distance away from the main nest and landed on a lower branch.

Thanks to the distance and the dense foliage, it is not visible to ants moving near the main nest. And if there is any conflict, the protagonist is confident that he can fight his way out of the siege and run back here alone.

After making all preparations, the protagonist hands Xiaoqing II to the Flyhawk, climbs down the tree himself, and walks alone towards the main nest.

When the protagonist arrives near the main nest, he is quickly discovered by the patrol, who has already given instructions from the main nest, and the patrol team immediately escorts the protagonist into the large conference room underground.

The protagonist's heart is also relaxed, and the patrol guarding him seems to be friendly, not like they are trying to embarrass themselves. The protagonist is not worried that the other party is deceiving himself, and the ants are still very simple and will not do these intriguing things.

After the protagonist arrives in the large conference room, the kings who have been notified also arrive one after another, including the public security and the king of the West that the protagonist is familiar with. To the protagonist's surprise, the elder brother also came to the venue, and this time apparently stood on the cobblestone floor as an official member.

Once all the participants had arrived, everyone lowered their tentacles to the ground and began to enter the group meeting mode.

The first person to speak was actually the senior brother, and before the protagonist could be surprised why he, an ordinary king, was presiding over the meeting, the senior brother's words blocked his current doubts back with a bigger question.

"I am the disciple of the oldest king, the king who has completed the cultivation of the oldest king." After the elder brother introduced himself, he announced a shocking news to the kings present.

"Three days ago, there was a major incident, and since the Divine Messenger King, King XX, King XX, and King XX were not in the main nest at that time, this news was not announced. Today, the qualified kings have all arrived at the meeting and can be announced. ”

The senior brother paused and continued, "The oldest king is missing! ”

Countless messages mixed with various emotions instantly filled the exchange channels on the cobblestone floor, and the protagonist seemed to feel that the white pebbles on the ground flashed for a moment. A large number of emotions hit the protagonist's mind along the tentacles, making him feel a little uncomfortable and distracted for a moment.

Fortunately, the kings were all highly respected and experienced in practical work, and after being shocked by the news for a while, they quickly calmed down and began to prepare to question the senior brother about the details of this matter. After all, the news was too shocking and bizarre.

But before that, the police stood up, and he began to take over the right to speak:

"This is true, I was the first king to receive the news, and then blocked the news as is customary, and informed all the kings to prepare for the meeting."

With a king's proof, it's time for everyone to delve into the details.

Subsequently, the elder brother sent an information package of his experience three days ago to all the participants.

Rewind the clock to three days ago.

At that time, the elder brother had already completed all the cultivation of the eldest king, but before he took over the honorary position of the oldest king, he was still an ordinary king, fulfilling his due duties.

The eldest Wang has been in retreat for more than half a year, and there are only intermittent news coming, most of which are some "divine decrees" obtained by chance, and these "divine decrees" basically have no meaning, more like fragments of information, or babbling.

The eldest king did not explain these "divine decrees", and the senior brother could not answer them according to the knowledge he had. Often, the elder brother misses the protagonist very much—the "divine will" he receives is so clear and unambiguous, and can bring obvious benefits to the kingdom.

However, after the summer, the exchange of information between the king and the outside world through the worker ant messenger became less and less, and the daily fixed food was sent to the old king's dormitory, and some feces and garbage were removed.

Three days ago, the soldier ants who were in charge of guarding the entrance to the palace of the eldest king came to report to the elder brother: they found that the worker ants in the palace of the oldest king had not gone out for two days, neither received food nor transported garbage, and even the sound of various activities in the palace had disappeared.

Although the soldiers are not highly intelligent, this obvious anomaly can still be detected. They did not have the right to enter the palace of the eldest king, so they found the elder brother, who was the disciple of the eldest prince and the next candidate of the king, and who had the right to enter the palace in case of emergency, against the orders of the eldest king himself.

When the senior brother heard this, he felt that this situation was also very suspicious, but he had a more heartfelt eye and immediately went to tell the public security king, who had the highest prestige among the kings and had more friends with the oldest king.

The public security king, the senior brother, and some guards immediately entered the sleeping palace of the eldest king.

But the dormitory was empty of ants—the eldest king and the workers who served him were all missing.

The police immediately searched the small dormitory and found that there were no bodies at the scene, and there was a little feces on the corner of the ground that had not been cleaned up, and these feces should have been abandoned for three or four days.

And in one corner of the dormitory, the investigators made a new discovery: there was an entrance to a narrow tunnel.

The oldest king's dormitory was next to the combustion chamber, at the very bottom of the entire main nest, and the elder brother used to come here often to study, but there was no such tunnel in his memory.

Investigators entered the tunnel and found that the tunnel was first reaching straight into the distance, which was roughly south, and then the tunnel began to slope upwards. Eventually, the investigators climbed to the ground, a ground exit that was twenty meters south of the main nest.

It seems that the oldest king and the worker ants left through this exit, but were they taken captive by the enemy who came in through this exit, or did they leave on their own? It's a question.

However, investigators soon discovered that there was some loose floating earth in the palace of the oldest king, which is often found when digging passages. According to the information packets of the guard ants, the police and the senior brother found that in the past six months, every time the worker ants came out to throw away fecal garbage, they always discarded a large number of soil particles. In the past, this information was not taken seriously by the guard ants and the worker ants who dispose of the garbage.

Combined with this information, the public security and the senior brother agreed that this passage was excavated by the most Lao Wang's worker ants, and there were a total of four worker ants under his command, and it would indeed take half a year to dig such a long tunnel.

Why did these worker ants go to such great lengths to dig a hidden tunnel to escape? What they are doing must have been known and seen by the most old king, could it be that these worker ants did it under the orders of the most old king?

Where is the oldest king, and why is he doing this?
