As the height decreases, the protagonist's fiery heart for returning home is suddenly extinguished and quickly cools down - he discovers something unusual about the lair.

It's that net!

Protective nets, a very common piece of equipment. All the nests built by the Divine Envoy King in the swamp are equipped with this protective net, which covers the main part of the ant nest on the ground, and with the ballista, it becomes a defense system to contain the flying insects controlled by the parasite, and the liquid provides a safe area for the ants when they are surrounded by strong enemies.

But now, the protagonist notices that the nest has lost its original protective power due to a large hole in the protective net.

What does this mean in swampy areas where parasitic insects are rampant? The protagonist knows it...

A hole the size of an apple was open, and the broken ropes around it swayed weakly in the wind.

Inside the protective net, the remains of a ballista were scattered on the platform. There was not a single ant on the ground, and there was no blood or debris.

Even if there is no direct evidence, the protagonist still has a tight heart, and the absence of ant activity is unusual in itself during such a day.

He tugged on the reins with his midriff to control the mount, slowing down the descent.

There were no dragonflies and damselflies wandering around here, and an ant and a fly were able to cautiously circle the nest a few times.

Broken protective nets, empty nests, broken ballistas, all seem to indicate something. The protagonist is afraid of this possibility from the bottom of his heart, but if he wants to verify something, he can only look for clues on the spot, and can only face the result that he may be most afraid of.

After repeatedly confirming that there seems to be no obvious danger, the protagonist has a heart and controls "Little Black" to drill into the hole and land on the anthill platform, right next to the broken ballista.

He was on high alert in his heart, ready to enter the state of "Heavenly God Descending to Earth" at any time, and this strange state made him nervous more than facing two dragonflies or dozens of destroyers with real swords and real guns.

Quickly untie the safety rope on the foot, and tie the "little black" to the bulge on the side with an easy-to-untie live buckle to prevent the "little black" from running away as soon as he is frightened, and it is also convenient to take off in time in case of emergency.

But there is no surprise, and the protagonist temporarily calms down, first carefully examining the broken ballista on the platform.

The ballista was in tatters, and if you weren't familiar with it, you wouldn't have recognized the scattered pile of sticks, silk ropes, and tendon remains as a terrible weapon of mass destruction.

The protagonist also notices that the ballista shows no signs of being fired, and that the number of stone bullets stacked next to it has not decreased, and that crossbow arrows are generally not stored in the open during non-war times.

What does this mean?

The protagonist picks up a stone bullet and walks to the entrance at the top, which is the entrance and exit of the flying knights, the opening is wider than the normal doorway, and the sloping passage leads straight into the depths of the deep lair.

The protagonist stood at the door, although it was the lair of the Divine Envoy King's legion, but watching the unfamiliar passage gradually sink into darkness, a sense of depression came to his heart, and he didn't dare to go directly into it.

The protagonist throws the stone bullet into it, "Goo" "Goo", the round stone bullet rolls downward, and soon disappears from view, only the sound and echo keep coming back.

When I couldn't even hear the sound, I didn't know if I was rolling too far or if I was blocked by something halfway.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement inside, and the protagonist got into it.

He doesn't need to light a torch, even if he turns a corner, the sunlight is completely blocked, and when the nest ** is pitch black, everything in the protagonist's field of vision is still roughly visible, almost equivalent to what he sees in the faint candlelight.

He carefully searched the small underground lair and then got out.

Nothing, it's an empty nest ...

There are no angel warriors, no eggs and larvae, no living creatures... All the nests are empty, and the warehouses for food, supplies are empty and very clean.

This nest doesn't seem to have any ants in it.

But the protagonist still found some clues: there is no ant droppings in some corners that have been cleaned up in time, and it has been a long time since the manure has dried.

Originally, it was a nest room where male ants lived, and there was a unique ant silk bed for the Divine Envoy King Legion, and if you sniffed it carefully with your antennae, you could still smell the breath of male ants who once lived here, and it had the unique smell of the Divine Envoy King Legion.

It used to be home to the legions of the Divine King, but now it's an empty nest.

This scene is familiar, and the protagonist tries not to think about everything that happened in [Dongyang City] before and after his first trip to the main nest [Qingqiu City].

Perhaps, the Divine Envoy King Legion just felt that the vicinity of this lair was too barren and inconvenient to defend, so they took the initiative to abandon this place?

Thinking of this, the protagonist is a little relieved, maybe the hole in the protective net is naturally damaged after the gods made the king warriors give up here, the protective net was originally made of plant fiber ropes, and it is often damaged in strong winds, and it needs to be repaired from time to time, which is also possible.

Untying the reins of "Little Black", the protagonist rides on, ties the safety rope, and takes off again.

The protagonist's self-soothing doesn't last long, and shortly after taking off, the protagonist soon discovers a new lair.

The lair's protective nets were even more broken, almost crumbling, except for a few large pieces of stakes that had been sunk into the ground.

The protagonist's heart sank, and instead of exploring the lair, he stepped up his flight.

He already knew the terrain here, and [Bunloaf City] was not far ahead.

Bread City is the largest lair of the Legion of the Divine Messenger in the swamp and the center of domination.

Although the protagonist hasn't been to the swamp for a long time, he often receives news from Rambovan and Rambo who stay here, and knows that [Bunloaf City] has expanded to 50,000 ant mouths before the migration of large groups, with farms and farmland, as well as small-scale gravel workshops, pottery workshops, and rope workshops.

After the arrival of the large army, the [Round Bread City], which has more land in the surrounding area, is bound to grow even stronger. Most of the high-ranking members of the Divine Envoy King's legion should be stationed here.

And it is also very special here, some strange things have been excavated, which are likely to be relics of a long time ago, such as a human skull stone engraved with strange symbols, a nameplate with the word "Zhu Jue" written on it, some models of ants, and so on.

Some of the protagonists have only seen them in the packets and have not yet seen the real thing, but these things obviously have a lot to do with the mystery of the demise of humanity in this world.

The protagonist rushes to [Bunloaf] in a hurry. In this situation, even finding out the secret of humanity's disappearance has taken a back seat, and the top priority is to confirm the safety of [Bread City]!
