Chapter 321: The Whereabouts of the Parasitic Ants (1)

The sun is shining, the mountain breeze is calm, the shadows of the trees are like clouds, and the grass is full of flowers.

In a valley, the kite sniffed sensitively with its antennae, and soon found traces of excrement under a veiling plant, and another excrement under another malan plant not far away. The two piles of excrement had very different smells and apparently belonged to two different tribes.

This is the mark of the dividing line between the territories of the two tribes, to the left and right is the territory of the two tribes, and in the middle is the junction of the "three regardless".

If you look closely, you can see that not far from the left and right, there are scythe-hunting ant warriors looking behind the shadows of the blades of grass.

The kite led its troops through the middle of the two territory markers, much to the relief of the scythe ants who were keeping an eye on them.

As long as the opponent has no intention of penetrating into their own territory, these watchers do not need to take action, and in other words, they are no match for the Kite Force even if they lose all their strength.

The kite has carried the troops all the way, and the traces of last year's war are still visible.

As an old male ant who has lived for many years, Kite knows that there were many tribes and skilled people in this land in the past. If you don't go far, you'll meet the same people of other tribes on the border.

But now, it is necessary to walk a long way to meet a new tribe, and these tribes of scythe-hunting ants are generally not large, but only send three or two warriors to follow from afar, and when they take a look, they only dare to show their big jaws to threaten.

The kite team is full of scythe-hunting ants, and there are many of them, and the route they take is as good as possible along the edges of the territories marked by the various tribes, which saves them a lot of trouble.

At least the vast majority of the tribes were unwilling to offend such a large force, and did not take any further action other than surveillance and intimidation.

The scythe hunters are relatively peaceful among their species, and they will settle disputes through duels and other methods to avoid attrition caused by large-scale battles. After all, life in the mountains is already very hard, and there is no need to make senseless sacrifices.

In the face of an old enemy like parasites, the Hunting Scythe Ant Tribe will also unite, and at this time, their fierce and warlike side will be fully revealed.

The kites and their subordinates slept in the open air, and the dry food they carried was not enough to support a long-distance march, but fortunately, the hunting sickle ants were originally excellent hunters, and the density of prey in this mountain forest increased due to the reduction of the tribe, and the small troops only needed to hunt every day to get a lot of fresh meat to supplement consumption.

Nights are more troublesome, and the scythe ants are not as efficient at nesting as the smaller and more agile paver ants or big-headed ants, and they are not happy to spend a lot of time digging in the earth.

Every evening, the kite will try to find some tree holes or natural stone crevices, or seize the nests of some burrowing insects, and it will be overnight.

In this way, it took them about three days to reach the shore of the Great Lake.

This large lake still has a crisp sound of waves, and the waves crash on the shore. Kite hadn't fought in the last battle with the parasitic ants, but a packet of messages from the Great Messenger told him that this was the destination.

It was here that the once evil parasites and infected people jumped into the lake. Thinking of this, the kite suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

He doesn't like water, almost all ants don't like so much water, let alone take the initiative to jump into the water, which is the end of nine deaths and one life.

It is inconceivable that those crazy infected people would jump into the lake in droves and float on it. Sure enough, after being infected by parasitic bacteria, it will also become evil and unreasonable.

Kite and his troops march along the shore of the lake, trying to find clues to where the parasitic ants are after they come ashore.

At the beginning, when the Divine Envoy King's army pursued the parasitic ants, they encountered the coalition of the Hunter Scythe Ant Tribe. The Scythe Hunter Coalition also came to destroy the parasitic ants, but they also saw the Divine Envoy King's legion as an intruder, and the two broke out into battle, with the protagonist retreating to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Now, to find out where the parasitic ants end up, it's a good idea to ask the Scythe Hunter Coalition that fought against the Legion of the Divine Messenger King.

This place is far away from the range of the Divine Envoy King's legion that once cleared the Scythe Ant Hunting Tribe, so the density of the Scythe Ant Tribe is much higher than before, and the strength is also stronger.

However, Kite felt that the more than 100 scythe-hunting and fierce ant warriors under his command were definitely a strength that none of the major tribes in the entire mountainous area had.

They made their way along the shore of the lake, which was a tidal flat formed by the ebb and flow of the water level, and where the indigenous tribe of scythe-hunting ants rarely came.

After spotting the traces of their kind, the kite leaves the shore of the lake and heads into the woodlands on the hillside, trying to make contact with the local tribe.

There is no need to bother looking, as long as they enter a tribal territory and do not have to go far, the appearance of such a large force will alarm the indigenous tribes and attract them to rush out to confront them.

But an ordinary tribe poured out of the nest, plus the old and weak, that is, dozens of ants, it is difficult to pose a threat to the kite's troops.

It is also under the guarantee of this strength that the kite can come forward alone in order to communicate with the leader of the enemy.

If their own strength is insufficient and they rashly enter the opponent's territory, the other party may obviously teach them the "etiquette" of hunting sickles and fierce ants first.

The leadership of the Scythe Hunter tribe is made up of female ants, the queen is a warrior herself, and the best hunters take on the role of leader. These female ants obviously don't like to deal with male ants, but looking at the size of the troops behind the other party, the kite still managed to communicate deeply with the opposite sex.

The original meaning of this communication is here.

Soon, after visiting three or four tribes, Kite piecing together the information he gets, and finally gets the answer the protagonist wants.

It took another four days for the kite to return, and the flying knight who had been waiting in the "Southern City" immediately sent the information to the "Dongyang City".

According to Kite's report, these tribes living on the shores of the lake had joined the Scythe Hunter Coalition and clashed with the Divine Messenger Legion.

And the reason why this coalition army was established was also because the parasitic ants were driven into the Lake District by the Divine Messenger King's legion, making the local tribes think that the epidemic broke out, and they were formed after a series of connections.

After forcing back the Divine Envoy King's army, the Hunting Scythe Ant Coalition pursued the parasitic ants who landed and retreated, and pursued them all the way until the other party retreated into a mountain swamp.

The swamp was a different kind of territory for ants adapted to living near the water, and the scythe ants did not like this environment and withdrew. It is estimated that less than a thousand parasitic ants have escaped into the swamp.

After that, it's the latest news about parasites this year, which makes the protagonist pay attention.
