Fantasy drifting ends here.,I wanted to write more about burying a little more foreshadowing.,Later, I think it's better 😑😦 to speed up the progress)/

Otherwise, the few readers should run out!

- I'm the dividing line -

The next day, June 2, the fleet set off again.

The rainy season slowed down, but it still didn't stop. The rain was light during the day, and there were occasional intervals between the rain and the sun, so that the ants on the ship no longer had to endure the pain of being soaked in the cabin.

The wind direction of this season is mostly south, and there is no north wind that the protagonist expects.

After the fleet leaves the reeds, the protagonist can only hold on all the way, against the south wind, along the dense reeds on the north bank of the Qing River, little by little down to the east, but cannot cross the river in the south as expected.

The fleet does not sail smoothly, and the water weeds are constantly entangled along the way, and the protagonist has to brave the rain himself to cut the aquatic weeds that are entangled in the ship little by little with an obsidian jawknife. When it's not raining, other ants come to help.

These aquatic plants are very tough, much stronger than the grasses on land, and it always takes a lot of effort to cut them, and sometimes the protagonist even enters the state of "gods descending to earth" in a fit of anger, and frantically saws these aquatic plants like a gas, venting the frustration of the past few days.

After venting on the leaf-cutting ants before, the protagonist is still often depressed these days...

Hindered by the aquatic weeds that appeared on the shore from time to time, the fleet walked very slowly, and in the afternoon it left the reeds where the boats had stopped before about three or four hundred meters.

Even, when the protagonist climbs on the mast and looks at it, he can vaguely see the mooring place where he spent the night yesterday. "This is called sailing, and the snail crawls faster than this" The protagonist is annoyed and has nothing to do.

But after turning a clump of reeds, the protagonist's eyes suddenly brightened.

Finally, there were not too many reeds and iris in front of him, and a peninsula deep into the water on the north shore was in front of him.

To be exact, it was the Qinghe River that made a bend here, and the bay road wrapped a section of land on three sides, forming a peninsula.

The peninsula is full of traces of the erosion of the river over the years, and in the direction of the fleet, there is a high cliff bank of sand and rock, which has been washed away by the river.

If you look at it from the air, you will see that the other side of the peninsula is a gently sloping beach because there is no river to wash it.

The peninsula is about three or four hundred square meters in size, and its neck to the land is very narrow, only about three or four meters wide, and it seems that it will not be many years before the river will be able to wash a gap here, and cut a straight bend to shorten the course. The original river should have become a oxbow lake.

But at least for now, this is still a peninsula, still connected to the land, before the flood season, the river is only gently caressing the cliff bank, there is no way to see the momentum of the waves crashing on the shore during the flood.

The protagonist steers the fleet around the top of the peninsula and finally sees the beach on this side. He looked at the shore in the twilight of daylight: behind the beach was a grassy land, sloping upwards until it turned into a cliff and plunged into the water.

Except for a large poplar tree at the neck of the peninsula, there are only wild grasses and a few shrubs on the peninsula, and there are no other trees, and there are no signs of ant activity or ant nests in the field of vision.

It's a good place to moor, and if there is no threat nearby, it can also be used as a short-term camp where the fleet and ants can recuperate before the north wind arrives. Lazy people listen to books

As the sky gets darker, it is definitely impossible to sail at night, and the protagonist leads the fleet to take advantage of the wind and inertia to hit the beach.

The fleet made its way to the beach, but the lack of fixtures meant that the cables were simply tied to a few large pebbles.

In addition, the protagonist uses his own penny and spare penny to drill into the ground with his strength and use it as a bollard.

By the light of dusk, hundreds of ants were sent off the ship to search the small peninsula, and the others remained on board.

If there are strong indigenous ants or other threats on the peninsula, the fleet will have to spend the night on high alert waiting for the next day's departure.

But if there is no threat, the protagonist decides to set up camp here.

Luckily, when it got dark, all the teams returned and reported that they had found no ants living on the peninsula, and no threats such as insects were found. It is a peaceful but slightly barren peninsula.

Of course, because of the time, these exploration teams only explored this small area of the peninsula, and the farthest was more than ten meters outside the poplar tree at the neck of the peninsula, and did not go deep into the land.

But this information is enough, and the protagonist immediately orders everyone to disembark and build a camp overnight.

It's not just the ants who like to keep their feet on the ground are fed up with the rickety boat, but the protagonist himself can't stand it either, especially since he hasn't eaten cooked food for a long time and has to struggle to control the boat, he feels that his physical and mental strength is almost at the limit.

Thousands of ants disembark and line up to the poplar tree under the guidance of the exploration party, where the protagonist decides to build a camp.

It is said to be a camp, but it is actually a regular nest, which can accommodate the survival of nearly 10,000 ants, and all kinds of facilities must be complete, and it is no different from a medium nest.

As for why the poplar trees were chosen for nesting, the main reason is that it is important to control the access from land to the peninsula.

In addition, to the west of the poplar trees is an insurmountable cliff, and the neck of the peninsula is only three or four meters wide, so a fortress can ensure that the entire peninsula becomes a safe hinterland.

As for whether there are some resources that the Divine Envoy King's legion urgently needs near this peninsula, such as salt, etc., it is still secondary.

Anyway, there is still a little stock on the ship, so it is not a problem to save a little bit and stick to it for a month, and after a month, maybe the fleet will wait for the wind to cross the river and return.

The ants who disembarked first were mainly worker ants, and they had a full meal and went to the construction site under the leadership of the big worker ants.

Today, in addition to serving in the scientific research group and the Flying Knights, the big worker ant also plays a greater role as the commander of the worker ant.

Although in a place where the protagonist cannot see, it is not yet possible to completely prevent the male ants from discriminating against the large worker ants.

But in this small fleet, there are no dead spots in the eyes of the protagonist, and the prestige and authority of the divine envoy king are not something that any male ant can provoke, and the big worker ant can fully enjoy the prescribed status and power.

In addition to the construction team and the new 8th Regiment of the mantis sent out to protect the mantis, the other ants cannot get off the ship for the time being, after all, they cannot dig a nest enough for nearly 10,000 ants to live in a short time, and there is still a little rain from time to time in this weather, so they cannot risk spending the night in the open air, so they can only continue to stay on the ship.

Instead, the protagonist went to the construction site, spread a little hay in a nest room that had just been excavated, and slept peacefully despite the sound of digging earth from all directions from the tentacles.
