It took the acidophilus ants a day to burrow into the ground and another day to get out. They were like a torrent sweeping in all directions, constantly sweeping the surface of the ruins of Silverleaf City occupied by the Magru tribe. But that's not all there is to it.

Although the number of ant colonies is large, the surface space is larger. They surged like mudslides and erupted like lava, but there was little room for the end of the crossbow. After losing a large number of flying ants, the worker ants and soldier ants who can only crawl around are too slow.

What's more, the goblins of the Magru tribe have come to their senses - ant colonies are not scary, but rather rare food. Originally, the goblins of the Magru tribe were scattered throughout the Black Forest. Now they all ran over for a bite to eat.

Zhou Qingfeng stood on the top of the hill turned into an elf ancient tree, looking at the goblins hunting around within a radius of more than ten kilometers from a distance, and kept sighing.

Zur. Grayskin went back to leading its kind, and before leaving, it surrendered a portion of its soul as collateral. Zhou Qingfeng didn't confiscate the soul of the old goblin at all, and threw it to the 'Swift Shadow' to swallow into his stomach.

The Abyss Demon Horse keeps slandering for this—the soul of the stinky goblin is thrown to me, aren't you afraid that I will have diarrhea?

In order to obtain a perfect body, Zhou Qingfeng promised to complete the three tasks assigned by the goddess Angres. Now that the portrait mission has been completed, the next step is to exterminate the acidophilic ant colony. He can't do it on his own, so support Zur. Grayskin let the goblins do the work for him.

In order to make the old goblin more efficient, Zhou Qingfeng even asked Sophia to forcibly link the thinking of a thousand bear goblin officers, and each bear goblin officer commanded fifty goblin miscellaneous soldiers to help them conduct more effective battlefield command.

Connected information brings a huge hunting advantage, and the acidophilic ants that emerge from the ground are immediately wiped out. The larger the area they spread, the greater the loss.

When tens of thousands of goblins and forest monsters ate their bellies, only two days had passed, and only half of the ant colony remained. The acidophilic queen finally conceded defeat and retreated back into the dungeon.

During these two days, Zhou Qingfeng ordered Montino and Justen to return to Harmony Village. First, to report the news, and secondly, to ......, the large-scale development of Silver Leaf City can also officially begin.

Zhou Qingfeng was left with only Xili and 'Swift Shadow', plus a new queen ant who was born for a few days, and about a hundred flying ant guards controlled by the new queen, as well as more than 300 soldier ants and more than 2,000 worker ants.

Receiving rune transformation to control it, and growing up drinking Zhou Qingfeng's blood, this new queen ant is very special. It was flushed all over its body, and it was particularly docile to Zhou Qingfeng, like a pet kept by its owner, and the occasional message seemed to be coquettish.

Healy named the new queen 'Big Red', and she happily accepted it, with a cry of joy coming from the heart. It was the small-scale ant colony commanded by this 'big red' that protected Zhou Qingfeng's safety, and even built a nest for him in the hills.

According to Sophia's repeated inspections and communication with 'Big Red', it was confirmed that this new ant queen underwent a series of mutations when receiving the transformation of arcane runes, which simply means that the whole body is affected by a single hair.

'Big Red''s ability to control ant colonies has shrunk dramatically, compared to the current acid-eosinophilic ant queen who can control more than 300,000 ant colonies, its control limit is 3,000. If there is more, it will not be able to control it, and it will be similar to the information network controlled by Sophia.

'Big Red' has also lost intelligence, and behaves like a child compared to a normal queen who is born with a high level of intelligence. The modification of the arcane rune caused it to fail to inherit the past memories of the ant clan, but it showed extreme affection for Zhou Qingfeng and the others.

This seems to be a bug in the program, thinking that a local variable was changed, but it turned out to be a global variable. 'Da Hong' didn't crash on the spot, and he escorted Zhou Qingfeng and others out of the dungeon, which can be regarded as great luck.

"Alas, is it possible that I have raised a village of people, and I also have to raise a nest of ants?" Zhou Qingfeng's hatching of 'Big Red' was completely a miracle move to fight for his life temporarily. Supposedly, it would be nice to leave it to fend for itself now. But Healy resolutely refused to allow it, saying that she would keep it.

"Acidophilus ants can grow glowing mosses and underground mushrooms in the ground without you having to worry about feeding them. How can you bear to throw away the 'big red' that helped you? "Healy hugged 'Big Red' as if she were holding a cat, and kept touching its back.

The two tentacles of 'Big Red' swayed back and forth, and there was a pitiful sobbing sound in the psychic link. It can't speak now, and it's self-taught.

Zhou Qingfeng could only sigh and muttered silently, "Why can't there be a normal person around me?" ”

Dead Ma followed beside him, "Because you are the most abnormal, master, it is difficult for us to be normal." ”

Zhou Qingfeng glanced sideways, and the dead horse immediately lowered his head.

There is some commotion in the ant colony under the hills, and the old goblin Zur. Grayskin stumbled up, raised his skeletal staff in joy, and shouted, "Your Excellency Hugo, we have defeated those acid-emolin ants and driven them all back to the ground. ”

The goblin shaman was vicious and vicious before, but this will be like the leper dog who smoked his backbone, and he can't wait to kneel down and lick Uncle Zhou's toes.

Zhou Qingfeng sat on a stone on the hill, and he didn't have much joy at the old goblin's battle report, "What I ask is to eliminate acidophilic ants, especially the queen ant." ”

"But the ants have gone underground." The old goblin also spread his hands, "Your Excellency Hugo, we goblins are not good at fighting underground. ”

"Is there no way to set fire to it and smoke it?" Zhou Qingfeng opened his mouth to be the idea, "Don't tell me, you won't know these methods." Or do you want to move when you're full, or do you want to change your head? ”

No, no, no, no......, no, the old goblin shook his head again and again, "We naturally don't want to change heads, it should be that everyone is full." In just two days, the goblins of the tribe will naturally find a way to go deep into the dungeon. ”

These goblins have repeatedly refreshed Zhou Qingfeng's cognition of the word 'wonderful'. They are really full and don't want to move, so they don't bother to continue catching ants. After two days of hunger, they will continue to catch ants on their own without any mobilization.

"According to your way of eating, it won't take long for more than 300,000 ants to be eaten, have you thought about the future?" Zhou Qingfeng asked the old goblin.

Future?

The question is too philosophical......

The predator of the jungle in the Black Forest seems to be a matter of course, and it has not changed in the past few decades. Hunger is the norm, and a full stomach is a rare thing. Hundreds of thousands of goblins roam the Black Forest, hunting or being hunted, and this is the future.

Even if it's Zur. Goblin elites like Grayskin have never considered any other options.

"There will be a lot of changes in the Black Forest in the future, such as a lot of adventurers coming to explore the dungeons." Zhou Qingfeng said.

The old goblin seemed to understand, "You mean that you can't attack and kill foreign adventurers in the future?" ”

No, Zhou Qingfeng shook his head affirmatively, "There are many kinds ......of adventurers, there are obedient and disobedient. For those who are obedient adventurers, they will pay tolls and obey orders in a proper manner. There are also some disobedient ......"

"Those who disobey will eat them." The old goblin bared his fangs and rushed to answer. But he hurriedly asked, "How do we know if they are disobedient?" ”

"This requires some technical operation, and it is not difficult to solve. The hard part is that I want to develop you guys here. It's not just dungeons that attract adventurers. In fact, there is still a lot of valuable production in this area that you occupy.

It is inconvenient for ordinary humans to come to you, and I hope you can take it on your behalf and only sell it to me. In return, I can bring you food, or medicine. ”

"You can feed us a hundred thousand goblins?"

"Of course not. But I can help you consolidate your power. ”

Zhou Qingfeng's words made the old goblin stunned for a long time, and its ugly gray-haired head was shocked by this proposal, and it couldn't even think. "You mean...... want to do business with us?"

"Yes."

The old goblin jumped up and shouted, "Your Excellency Hugo, I thought you were an upright man who fought against the Bann Church. But you want to do business with us goblins. It turns out that you are the most evil hand who hides behind the scenes, controls everything, and is the most evil. ”

Why does that sound awkward?

"You want to refuse?"

"Of course not. I'd love to! ”
