The next day, after the flying ants of the king of the northwest came back, the king of the northwest commanded his army of ants to set off in the direction of the pond, in order for the army to cross the wide pond, the ants used leaves, trunks, etc. as tools to cross the river, and walked towards the grass on the other side of the pond, this is the great migration of the ants of the king of the northwest, their dynasty has a history of 100 years on the northwest bank of the pond, and there are several generations of queen ants, although the nest is now very large and can allow all the ants to live, but in the long run, Their ant colony should be separated, or it will be overcrowded.

The ant colony of the king of the northwest once migrated to the other side, and on that rich meadow, they used to nest there and live in peace and contentment, but unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the nest was destroyed by the gang of robbers of the king of the southeast, and robbed them on a large scale, and killed a lot of ants of the king of the northwest, and finally even the queen ant was captured by them and eaten as trophies.

The King of the Northwest once sent a large number of ants to fight back, but they all ended in a crushing defeat. The damage of the king of the southeast man-eating ant is huge, the ants living on the other side of the pond are very difficult, often adopt evasion strategies, many nests are built temporarily, once the ant army arrives, they have to abandon the nest and flee, and then build nests in other places after the army leaves. If it weren't for the big pond to stop it, the army of man-eating ants would have wiped out the nest of the Northwest King, and their nest would not have survived for 100 years. The king of the southeast man-eating ants do not pay attention to the rules of the game, they are rampant and domineering wherever they go, robbing and killing all kinds of evil, and wherever the army of thousands of mighty ants goes, all insects and invertebrates have become their mouths.

So in the territory of the southeast king man-eating ants, most creatures have to hide. The southeast king man-eating ant flying ant troops, although the number of flying ants is not much, only a few thousand, but the destructive power is very strong, they have to fly over the pond every year to the northwest king ant's nest surprise attack, harassment or take the opportunity to plunder food several times, make the northwest king ant ant-worried, in order to defend against the sneak attack of the man-eating ant flying ant troops, the northwest king ant's nest is very ingenious, there are countless different sizes of sub-chambers, the queen's secret room is generally difficult for ants to break into, the road to each sub-chamber is intricately designed, Ants enter and exit the nest by the smell left by the road and the chamber, and strange ants enter the nest to get lost and cannot get out of the nest. The flying ants of the man-eating ants of the king of the southeast have entered the nest many times, but they can not find the chamber of the queen ant, and most of the invaders after entering the chamber are surrounded and killed by thousands of soldiers, and the loss of the flying ants is not small, therefore, every year the flying ant colony of the king of the southeast plunders the food stored in the mound chamber, and rarely enters the underground chamber, they do not know where the queen ant will hide.

Now that the man-eating ants of the king of the southeast have almost been wiped out, the nest of the king ant of the northwest has no foreign invasion, and the ants of the king of the northwest can cross the pond without any scruples, migrate in a big way, and prepare to divide a part of the ant colony to settle on the meadow opposite.

Ants are small, but they are not brainless creatures, they use leaves and branches as boats, and use the power of the wind to send themselves to the opposite shore.

The mighty army of ants gathered on the beach on the shore and marched in an orderly manner towards their relocated nests according to the information provided by the scout ants.

The king of the northwest instigated his wings and personally led its flying ant colony, first rushed to the old nest they had built, Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya were respectively supported by two large flying ants on their backs and flew across the pond, and they came to the old nest of the original king ant of the northwest with the flying ant colony.

They found that the nest had been occupied by other ants, and a large group of ants hurriedly moved to the nest in an orderly line with tender grass leaves several times larger than their own bodies in their mouths.

Heng Liya saw the ants lining up and hurriedly walking to the nest with blades of grass, and said the type of ant: "Leaf-cutting ant." ”

Wei Xinyu nodded and said, "Yes, this is a kind of smart and interesting ant, and their biggest feature is that they can "grow" food by themselves. After they bring the leaves back to their nests, they do not eat them directly, but cut them into smaller pieces, plant them in "nurseries" to ferment, grow gray fungi, and then feed on the gray fungi that grow. ”

Heng Liya told Wei Xinyu: "I learned from genetic research that the genes of leafcutter ants are different from those of other ants, and some of its specific genes have an important relationship with their social behavior and symbiosis patterns. Leafcutter ants are one of nature's most elaborate social creatures, due to the fact that they are one of the few organisms other than humans that can obtain food through cultivation, and their behavior is similar to that of humans. Their intelligence is higher than that of the average ant and higher than that of the average insect. ”

Wei Xinyu said: "I suspect that this is a specific gene that God deliberately designed for ants, and according to you, human social behavior and lifestyle also have a lot to do with the genes that God has embedded in us." ”

"Hmm." Heng Liya nodded in agreement.

The Northwest King was not convinced to see that their previous nest had been taken over by other ant colonies, and he commanded the flying ants around him to attack the nest of the leafcutter ants. Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya wanted to stop it was too late, a large number of flying ants flew into the nest of the leaf-cutting ants, the size of the flying ants was much larger than the leaf-cutting ants, and the flying ants condescendingly attacked the leaf-cutting ants, so that the formation of the leaf-cutting ants was chaotic, and there were still the soldiers of the leaf-cutting ants resisting to the death, the battle lasted for more than an hour, the soldiers in the nest of the leaf-cutting ants were wiped out, and soon a large number of ant reinforcements across the river arrived, they poured into the nest like a tide, the leaf-cutting ant king and the queen ant saw that the general trend had gone, so they had to surrender, At this point, many leafcutter ants gave up resistance and became captives of the Northwest King Ant, and the Northwest King Ant soon captured the nest of the Northwest Leaf Cutter Ant.

Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya were reluctant to participate in the war between ants, Heng Liya saw that many leaf-cutting ants were brutally killed, she asked Wei Xinyu beside her:

"We helped the Northwest King Ant to eliminate the ferocious King of the Southeast's man-eating ants, thinking that by doing so, we could stop the killing of the Ant Kingdom, and as a result, another King of the Northwest appeared, who was no less effective in dealing with his own kind than the King of the Southeast. Hey, when will this war between ants end? ”

Wei Xinyu pointed to the green grass in front of him and said, "You see, how rich resources there are, and the creatures are killing each other just to compete for this rich grassland resource. Since ancient times, it has been a natural selection of the fittest, and Tianzun has not come forward to stop the mutual killing of humans on the earth planet, there is a purpose, not to mention that our two small characters have no way to stop the war in the ant kingdom. From the perspective of human beings, I am willing to help the king of the northwest, because it is an ant with a soul. ”

A flying ant flew up to them and said, "Two guests, our king is invited!" ”

Guided by the flying ants, they entered the nest of the leaf-cutter ants. After entering the nest, the road inside was very complicated, and they passed through several chambers, and when they passed through one chamber, there was a garden full of shiitake mushrooms, which were fungal plantations of leafcutter ants, and they were overgrown with hairy gray fungi.

Seeing Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya enter a very special room, the King of Northwest said to them excitedly:

"I'm back in our lair. We will use this nest as a base to continue to expand into other places. ”

Heng Liya said unhappily: "Your people have 100,000 people, and there is a lot of territory, what is the point of you seizing the nest of leafcutter ants?" ”

"It's not preemption, it's liberation." The King of the Northwest corrected Heng Liya's statement, "We are liberating this area, and our ant colony is the ruler of this Ant Space Kingdom. ”

Heng Liya wanted to reason with the King of the Northwest, but was secretly stopped by Wei Xinyu.

At this time, a flying ant reported that it had found a man-eating ant's nest in a mound not far from here. Heng Liya felt strange, man-eating ants never had a nest, they never built a nest, they had no fixed place, every place they went was, they killed all of them, if there was an old nest, it must have invaded the nest of other ants.

In fact, as Heng Liya judged, the man-eating ant nest here was occupied by man-eating ants, and the man-eating ants occupying this old nest were the queen ants of the king of the southeast, who were breeding ants in the nest these days.

As soon as the flying ants of the king of the northwest arrived at the mouth of the nest, they started a big battle with the man-eating ants, after all, the man-eating ants were large and their combat ability was stronger than that of the flying ants of the king of the northwest, resulting in countless casualties among the flying ants, and they could not be attacked for a long time, and the two sides were deadlocked. Seeing this, the king of the northwest had to ask for help from two guests.

Heng Liya didn't want to meddle anymore, but Wei Xinyu readily agreed to its request, he carefully observed the terrain around the entrance of the cave, and said to the king of the northwest:

"We were up against a much tougher opponent than us, and if we went in hard, it didn't work very well and we suffered a lot of casualties. I looked at this nest is not large, it is a temporary ground mound, but there are many windows, and the wind is now just right for us to attack with fire, we can use these windows to throw some hay into the nest and block these windows. I'm going to use this hay, according to the direction of the wind, to blow the smoke into the nest and smoke these man-eating ants inside. ”

So, the flying ants found a large amount of hay and threw it into the nest, and the man-eating ants could not understand the strange behavior of the flying ants of the Northwest King, but they did not dare to leave the nest at will to stop the flying ants from throwing hay into the burrow from the window, and they wanted to protect the safety of the queen ant.

The hay piled up so much that all the windows were blocked with hay.

Wei Xinyu saw that the time was ripe, and began to light the hay in the downwind window, and the fire ran into the hole along the wind, and soon the whole nest was filled with thick smoke, and a lot of smoke began to spread out along the cracks in the window that blocked the hay, and the flying ants waiting by the window all retreated, needless to say, the man-eating ants in the nest were smoked to death by the smoke and fire, and they could not find the exit to escape, so they could only run around in the branch room and the aisle.

After crossing the river, a large number of soldiers and ants of the king of the northwest also rushed to the nest, only waiting for the order of the king of the northwest to rush into the nest. Wei Xinyu asked the ants to wait patiently, and after an hour, Wei Xinyu asked the flying ants to open the blocked window, and only after all the smoke in the nest had cleared up, did the soldiers rush into the nest.

Everyone entered the nest together and found that most of the man-eating ants had been smoked to death, and the living ones were all dying, without resistance, and were bitten to death by the Northwest King Soldier ants who rushed in.

In the end, everyone found the man-eating ant queen in a large sub-room, it was also smoked to the point that only the strength to speak was left, looking at the queen ant who was more than ten times larger than the average ant, the king of the northwest did not have a soft hand, it ordered the soldiers and ants to rush forward and kill the queen ant. Hundreds of soldier ants flocked to the queen's body, and immediately scaled its bitten pieces, and before long, the flesh of the man-eating ant queen was eaten by the soldiers, and she closed her eyes and died.

The Northwest King's counterattack was successful, and its anxious worries were basically eliminated, and it will be the biggest king in this Ant Space Kingdom in the future.
