Deep underground, the ant colony is bustling, but it's silent. All acid-eosinophilic ants do not speak, and as a whole, except for the queen, who can telepathically transmit information, the other ants communicate by colliding with each other's antennae.

The environment of the entire ant kingdom is so intricate, as a corpse pit for disposing of sick and dead ants is in the deepest part of the cave. Zhou Qingfeng was in this place where he didn't know whether he was tens of meters or hundreds of meters underground, looking up at the passages and buildings above his head.

Glowing mosses and underground flora are everywhere, and they are responsible for providing air conversion for the ants. The water in the spring of the dark river is abundant to ensure that all ants will not die of thirst. Food, air and water, the ecological cycle forms a perfect balance.

But now that balance has been shattered by a plague.

The queen enters the heavily guarded spawning chamber, but telepathically along with the entire nest. Zhou Qingfeng was following a few worker ants to the hatchery room, because there was an unprecedented big trouble there.

In the past, acidophilus ants suffered from 'rot disease', but they relied on continuous reproduction to fight the spread of the plague. But now this curse-like illness appeared on the unhatched ant eggs, and it sounded the death knell for the entire ant colony at once.

After seeing Justin and Mondino's so-called plague research, Zhou Qingfeng was greatly disappointed in them. The priest will only ask the gods, and if the gods don't reply, they will be helpless.

Necromancers are not very clever in their methods, and they ask how the soul gets sick. If the ants could answer, would the queen be desperate?

As for the rest......

Wandering around, 'Swift Shadow' said that he saw another group of strangers in the ant nest. But the queen ant refused to reveal the information of those people, and only asked Zhou Qingfeng to quickly find a way to quell the plague, otherwise everyone would be doomed.

"It's really distressing, Lao Tzu is not a veterinarian." Zhou Qingfeng thought wildly, "No, ants are not under the care of veterinarians when they are sick." Who knows what this plague is all about? Virus? Bacteria? Parasite? Who is the source of infection? How is it transmitted? ”

Just look at the history of world civilization to see how terrible infectious diseases are. Countless civilizations and races have been torn apart by the invisible curse. Humanity suffers from a deep fear of the plague in the midst of its afflictions.

When the hatchery arrived, it was a big cave. Dense ant eggs are densely piled up on the floor of the cave, which looks a bit like alien eggs. A large number of worker ants are responsible for taking care of these unborn ant babies, constantly moving in and out.

Healthy eggs have a milky sheen when exposed to luminous mosses, while infected ones appear with dark spots.

"Is this the only hatchery?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.

The queen's telepathy goes directly into the brain, "There are twelve hatcheries. ”

"Are all hatcheries infected?"

"Yes."

"Do the worker ants who care for the eggs also have signs of infection?"

"Yes."

"Hell. Don't you know that infected and uninfected people should be quarantined? ”

"It didn't work, we tried it a long time ago. Infected eggs continue to emerge and become more numerous. Even if the eggs that have just been laid are completely sealed, they will appear to be corrupted after a while. ”

Zhou Qingfeng instantly ...... stuck, and his understanding of infectious diseases is not only terrifying, but also that the infected must be isolated. But what if quarantine doesn't work?

"Can you tell me the number of cases of 'rot disease' in recent years, the susceptible groups, and the location of the disease. I want to do a data analysis. Zhou Qingfeng made a new request, and he wanted to know more about this invisible curse.

However......

The chaotic footsteps that appeared from behind interrupted the communication between Zhou Qingfeng and the queen ant. He turned around and saw several humans, all dressed differently dressed but all of them swaggering, appear in front of him.

The first one has a thin face, deep curly hair, a cloak tied around, and sonorous steps. He walked up and laughed slightly, looking at Zhou Qingfeng with a playful gaze. The entourage behind him was quite tall, and their eyes were full of the smell of a fox and a fake tiger.

"You're Victor. Hugo? "The 'slender face' was taller than Zhou Qingfeng, and he raised his chin and asked, "I've heard of you and your village. ”

Zhou Qingfeng frowned and asked the queen ant, "Who is this person?" ”

"I don't know, I don't care." "I'm sure I'm sure we can't solve the plague problem alone. I got you into the nest anyway, so it doesn't matter if you get a few more.

These people seem to have come after you, and I sent my people out to surround them. After explaining the situation, they also entered my lair as obediently as you did. In the future, whoever comes close to our lair will be caught. ”

Sounds like a 'fellow adversary' adventurer. Everyone's unlucky to be finished, so we should help each other. But where did the arrogance of these people come from?

The queen interjected, "This group seems to know you, and specifically asked me if I also captured a group led by teenagers?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng was even more strange, but the person opposite took the initiative to reveal his identity.

An attendant stood on the side and said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency Hugo, in front of you is the Lord of Coldwind City, Colenfil. Son of Long Legs, a direct descendant of the Northland hero 'Long Legs' Levine, Marbury of noble blood. Lord Longlegs. ”

Zhou Qingfeng frowned even more, and only said lightly: "I haven't heard of it, what kind of long legs?" How can there be such a strange surname? Do people in your family have long legs? ”

The 'slender face's face changed, and the faces of several of the attendants behind him were even more angry. The queen's voice came into her head again, "I advise you to calm down. There is no high or low in my place, and whoever can solve the problems of our race will be able to live. ”

Zhou Qingfeng pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and the other party dared to move, and he definitely magnified the move. It's just that the ant colony near the hatchery gradually converges, constituting a substantial deterrent. Neither side dared to make the first move, and in the end they could only stare at each other.

The 'slender face' also leads people into the hatchery of the nest. Behind him stood a guy dressed as a wizard, holding up an infected ant egg, and observing it repeatedly. He himself shouted, "The curse of the ant colony is mentioned in the notes left by my noble ancestors.

Luckily, I remember it. The ancestors once came up with an idea to dissolve. In the corner of the page he wrote, 'I had a brilliant idea, but unfortunately the page is too small to write.' ’”

After speaking, the 'thin face' looked at Zhou Qingfeng proudly. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by light, and Zhizhu was in his hands, and he was already in control. This position was held for a long time.

Uncle Zhou was really frightened for a while, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the next step, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "Then what about ......, what kind of brilliant idea?" ”

The 'slender face' still tilted his head, as if this question didn't need to be answered at all, "They all said 'can't write', that is, 'can't write'." ”

"I ask you what you have in mind for the problem?"

"My ancestors said, 'I can't write it.'"

"What the fuck is this bullshit idea? So you don't know. ”

"It shows the nobility of our family lineage."

"Your brain is deformed and grows on your thighs, so is your surname 'Long Legs'?"

"This is a disgrace to our family's reputation, and I want to duel with you."

Both sides are not good-tempered, and the saber rattling is about to start again. The colony had to forcibly separate the two.

The wizard who was holding the ant eggs came back with a smile and said, "Lord Marbury, I think I've found a solution. My alchemy can be equipped with unique potions that can break the curse. ”

The 'slender face' was overjoyed, and glared at Zhou Qingfeng viciously again. The queen of ants immediately warmed up towards them, demanding that they solve it as soon as possible, and making a promise that she would do everything in her power to meet any request of the solver.

Watching these inexplicable guys leave with high spirits, Zhou Qingfeng was angry, and there was even more pressure to survive. He asked Ciric, "Didn't you say that there is no solution to this curse?" For Mao, they looked at it a few times and said that there was a way. ”

Ciric has been mute lately, afraid to speak.

Aren't gods omnipotent?
