Chapter 121: Destroying Ants (2)

The protagonist clearly receives: "Destruction... Ants...", a verb plus a noun phrase message!

After repeated confirmations, the protagonist is sure that this signal is coming from the mysterious ball, and as long as the tentacles touch the broken "thread" on the mysterious ball, the signal can be received, but it is relatively weak.

Touching the rest of the Mystery Ball will not receive any information, and the broken "thread" can act as a network cable or antenna.

The protagonist looks at the mysterious ball whose color is still fading, and thinks to himself, this can't be the brain of a mysterious ant, right? It was indeed dug out of the skull of a mysterious ant, but I didn't expect it to be able to speak! It's a lot like the brain.

However, it seems that this "brain" has been away from the head for most of the day, and is gradually losing its vitality and is about to die.

But think about it, it is impossible for the brain of ordinary organisms to survive for more than a few minutes after leaving the body, after all, the brain is a large oxygen consumer, and brain cells will soon die without the body's oxygen supply. No matter how rebellious the evolution of the mysterious ant is, it is impossible for the brain to evolve like this, and it can survive outside the body for half a day.

Previously, the protagonist guessed that the mysterious ants were biochemical creatures, so the mysterious ball is more likely to be a tool to assist the brain!

And it seems that these mysterious balls have a very limited amount of time to stay alive after leaving the mysterious ants' bodies.

The protagonist quickly pulls out all the other small mysterious balls that are perfectly round and touches them with their tentacles one by one.

Sure enough, some of the mysterious balls whose shells have completely taken on a dead gray color can no longer receive any information from them, and as soon as most of the mystery balls come into contact, they will send a message of "destruction... Ants...".

Can it "speak"? So is it possible to communicate?

The protagonist simply swings the mystery ball in the best condition, touches the tentacles, and sends a message: "Who are you?" ”

"Destruction... Ants..."

The mystery ball still replied to this sentence, and I don't know if it will be counted.

"Where are you?"

"Where are you from?"

"What's your use?"

The protagonist asks several questions in a row, but the opposite side obviously only repeats the sentence "Destruction... Ants...", or simply did not reply.

Much to the disappointment of the protagonist, the mystery ball is obviously not intelligent enough, perhaps like a computer that has to execute a specific program, but it may also be due to the fact that it has been away from the body for too long and has gradually become inactive.

The protagonist thinks about it, makes up his mind, and prepares to open a few small mystery balls to see what is going on.

In order to prevent the small mystery ball from exploding like the big mystery ball, the protagonist asks the worker ants to carry the mystery ball to a designated place in the nest**, where there is a small passage on the ground, and you can jump directly down to a nest room below.

The shockwave of the explosion usually spreads upwards and in all directions, and only a small part of it spreads downwards, allowing the protagonist to jump into this shelter for protection before exploding.

After dismissing all the ants around him, the protagonist picks up the copper hammer that has been placed aside, bites the big jaw, and smashes it hard.

The first small mystery ball, which had been completely dull and dead gray, was smashed open a crack, and a black liquid flowed out, which was different from the dark blue liquid in the big mystery ball.

But the protagonist did not dare to hold it up in the slightest, and hurriedly jumped into the shelter, and after a long time did not hear an explosion, he climbed up again.

He stirred the inside of the mystery ball with a stick, and it was all a viscous black liquid, with nothing on the side. The liquid sticks to the ground and sticks, has no unusual shape, does not appear corrosive, and does not smell good.

So, he smashed open a small mystery ball that was still alive, jumped into the shelter, and came out again after making sure it was safe.

The viscous liquid inside this small mystery ball has not yet safely turned black, and is generally milky white, but there are already traces of a large blackening mass.

The protagonist stirs again, but there is still nothing else.

Because these mysterious balls were dug out of the skulls of mysterious ants, it may be for psychological reasons, how does the protagonist look at it, how does he think that the viscous liquid in the small mysterious balls is like brains...

The large mystical orb has a dark blue liquid inside, but because the explosion protagonist does not know its internal structure, the small mystical orb has nothing but viscous liquid.

On a physical level, the protagonist doesn't know more about the secrets of the Mystery Ball, but the Mystery Ball in the Mysterious Ant's body is the biggest secret in itself, how can there be such two things in the body of a living being? One will explode, the other will speak...

There are many mysteries in these mysterious ants, and as the leader of the power of the side that has a great conflict of interests with the mysterious ants and is bound to be hostile in the future, the protagonist feels very necessary to find out the secrets of the mysterious ants.

From another angle, the little mystery ball keeps repeating "destruction... What does it mean?

Is this the name of their race?

The protagonist already knows that ants of different races can actually communicate with each other through direct contact with their antennae, after all, ants do not rely on articulatory organs such as vocal cords to express their thoughts like humans, and there will be a translation process from the meaning in the brain to language, and language is just a tool.

There can be many kinds of tools, so there are countless languages in the human world, and it is difficult to communicate with each other without a translator.

However, the language of the ants is the thinking in their minds, which is called "brain language" by the protagonist, and they can communicate directly without the help of tools for translation and transformation.

This is the fundamental reason why ants of different races can communicate with each other.

There are three ant races in the protagonist's Divine Envoy King Legion, including the Big-Headed Ant, the Paving Ant, and the Scythe Hunting Ant, and the protagonist often deals with them, knowing that in the "brain language", these three races have special words for themselves and each other.

But this kind of race-specific vocabulary cannot be translated in human language, after all, in the case of no paraphrase, human beings will generally use transliteration instead, for example, Paris is Paris, and the ant's brain language is not pronounced...

But after getting acquainted with it, the protagonist only needs to remember that these three words refer to big-headed ants, paving ants, and hunting sickle ants, and he will not be mistaken.

Now, the "Destruction... Ant...", the message is a phrase that is different from the general ant race, which is a verb, and "ant" is a noun, both of which are themselves a word in the brain, but now they are combined.

Is this phrase, which is different from the name of other ant races, really what the mysterious ant calls itself? Anyway, other ants have a specific vocabulary for mysterious ants.

However, mysterious ants are very special in nature, and it is normal for them to have their own ethnic names.

The protagonist decides that he will call the mysterious ant "Destruction Ant" in the future, which is very apt and easy to remember.

To put it more simply, you can call it the "Destroyer"!
