After trying to visit the female ant in vain, and being chased away by the guard ants, the protagonist returns to his residence in a gray manner.

In the remaining two days, neither the elder brother nor the eldest king taught the protagonist any more, because the protagonist had basically understood the basics, the elder brother could no longer teach him more, and the eldest king was busy with other things. Due to the imminent wedding ceremony, the focus of the kings of the main nest has shifted to this work. It is said that the eldest Wang listened every day to see if there was the latest divine decree about the marriage flight, but found nothing. In this important matter related to the reproduction of the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, all attention and caution should be deserved.

The protagonist now has a lot of free time every day except for eating and sleeping, and whenever he has time, he runs to the top of the hill and watches the kings and queens of the various sub-nests arriving one after another. He's waiting for Roll and Rambo from the "Dongyang City Vice-Nest".

There was no rain that night or the next day after the failed visit to the females, which was good news for the long-distance ants.

But the good fortune was short-lived, and just as the next day was approaching night, a torrential rain came unexpectedly. The wind is strengthening little by little, but the dark clouds seem to be covering the sky in an instant, blocking the sun that is about to set on the western horizon, only a few rays can tenaciously break through the obstacles of the clouds, the wind carries huge raindrops and ravages the ground roughly, the rain is like a curtain of water under the blessing of the wind is splashed to the south layer by layer, this heavy rain is like a torrent and tsunami in the eyes of the ants.

The protagonist hides at the exit of the sacred passage, which is relatively safe due to the high ground and stone walls to prevent water seepage, and the wind does not pour in this direction. And on a rainy day, there is no ant activity outside, and there will be no ants inside who are forbidden to climb up, and the protagonist is not worried about being discovered. He stayed in this safe place, but he didn't feel safe at all, and the power of heaven and earth filled him with fear, and he almost wanted to run away and hide back in the calm underground.

The protagonist can't help but be full of worries about rolling them, and after all, they have already set off for a day or two, and they don't know if they can survive the attack of this rainstorm.

The ants in the main nest have long felt the change in air pressure and have contracted back to the main nest early.

The scale of the pools and currents created by the torrential rain is already extremely impressive, and the ground has become a vast ocean for the ants, and there is no team that can continue to advance in such weather and terrain. The night under the dark clouds and torrential rain is extremely dark, and the moonlight is also masked, and with the disappearance of the last bit of twilight that barely breaks through the clouds, the protagonist can no longer see the distant scenery clearly, and it is futile to wait, the protagonist is unwilling to crawl back with Xiao Mi and Mulan.

The further down the protagonist goes, the more he can feel the power of this heavy rain, even underground. Although the entrances to the main nest are built with a slight arc and try to avoid low-lying areas, when the rain is too heavy, a large amount of muddy water still pours in from the lower inlets, but there are spillways deep into the ground near these entrances, and the muddy water disappears directly into the depths of these spillways, without causing much harm.

On the contrary, in many tunnels and nest rooms, the droplets of water seeping out of the soil caused many areas to be flooded, and the entire area above the main nest became muddy in many places. The ants hurriedly moved the food, eggs, pupae and larvae that were at risk of flooding to dry areas, and the remaining worker ants struggled to remove the stagnant water and throw it into the floodway.

The rain did not stop until midnight, causing a lot of damage to the entire main nest, and although the ants tried their best to save the day, some of the food was still soaked, and the protagonist was too scared to sleep all night, even though his area was not affected by the flood. The protagonist wanders around and sees some of the drowned ants, larvae and pupae that have not had time to move them, and his heart is desolate: limited by their size, ordinary weather in nature can cause damage to ants equivalent to natural disasters. In the event of floods, wildfires, and mudslides, a centuries-old ant kingdom could easily be destroyed.

The protagonist ran to the fire to take a look, but it was well protected, and not a drop of water seeped out from the cobblestone wall, and the flue didn't know if it had a special design, and there was no sign of water ingress. The flames burned brightly, and the whole nest was dry and warm.

After dawn on the third day, there is no more standing water in the nest, and the protagonist finally relaxes, and then feels sleepy, and runs back to the bedroom to squint for a while. After waking up, the protagonist hurriedly ran to the top of the hill to look into the distance, and according to the time when the protagonist came to the main nest from the "Dongyang City Vice-Nest", it was time for them to arrive today.

During the day, many groups of teams arrived to participate in the wedding ceremony, all of them were very embarrassed, and some even left only one male ant to arrive alone, and all the subordinates were gone. Seeing the tragic situation of the teams, and never seeing them appear, the protagonist couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Finally, the sun sets, and the protagonist reluctantly goes back, because the elder brother has sent worker ants to summon him back.

When the protagonist returns, the elder brother tells him the sad news that deepens his concern: "Of the 404 sub-nests, only 311 teams have arrived at the wedding flight, which is far less than last year. ”

The elder brother then told him, "The King's Council has decided to hold a wedding ceremony tomorrow. ”

"But there are still teams that may have been delayed just due to heavy rain...... Wait another day and you'll be there. The protagonist protests.

"The king's meeting has decided, we must obey and prepare to participate in the wedding flight ceremony tomorrow." The elder brother tells the protagonist, "Maybe God didn't favor them this time. ”

The protagonist has no choice but to go back to the bedroom, and he tells Wei 1 and Wei 3 to go to the upper floor of the main nest to concentrate on the male ants and guard them, and notify him as soon as there is news of the new male ants.

After the night, when the protagonist wakes up again, he still hasn't received any news of rolling. With a heart full of loss, the protagonist, at the suggestion of the elder brother, decides to fill his stomach first and cope with the next ritual.

"The whole wedding ceremony is very physically demanding, and only the strongest, wisest, and most favored king can successfully get the opportunity to mate with a queen." The elder brother told the protagonist this at the time, and at the same time kept conveying excitement and anticipation.

I ate enough to try to avoid the entanglement of the female ants for a while, but the protagonist thinks so, he really can't accept the ant OOXX, and there is a bunch of ants doing the same thing next to him.
