256. Defend the Ant Castle
According to the way of human reception, the king of the northwest arranged for Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya to live in the ant kingdom, and arranged for them to rest in the best and largest room in the mound, although there was no furniture in the room, but there was very clean hay. In order to make them sleep comfortably, thousands of ants received orders from the ant king to collect a large amount of soft hay outside the nest, and spread the huge chamber with thick hay, and people entered the chamber as if they had fallen into a large haystack.
When the king of the northwest led Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya into the branch room, he looked at the hay stuffed in the entire branch room, looked embarrassed, called the worker ants of the team leader, and asked:
"I told you to bring some hay to this chamber, but you stuffed the whole chamber almost halfway, and told me how to put the food and fruits? There isn't much hay needed here, so you get the excess hay out of here. ”
Heng Liya waved her hand to stop and said, "No need, this is very good, it feels quite warm to have these soft hay." ”
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya lived in this branch room made of haystacks.
The King of the Northwest was so enthusiastic that he placed fruit and honey on the floor in a large chamber next to him to entertain the two guests. He repeatedly kept the two guests for a purpose, because, although the king of the southeast man-eating ant was eliminated, but its residue remnants were not eliminated, it is said that there is a flying army among the man-eating ants, the younger brother of the king of the southeast is called the little king of the southeast, although the number of ants he leads is not much, only a few thousand ants, but the combat effectiveness is stronger than the king of the southeast man-eating ants, basically in this ant space kingdom is invincible, this army is invincible, invincible, no creature dares to fight with them.
These flying man-eating ants rely on a pair of wings that can fly, a special upper jaw like scissors, and a powerful sting needle at the end of the back abdomen, to run rampant in the entire ant space kingdom, robbing, killing, and mutilating creatures everywhere, and many ant nests have never been hurt by them. His elder brother, the king of the southeast, was killed, and the younger brother would definitely take revenge when he got the news, and naturally they would not let go of the enemies who dared to kill his brother. has always been the sworn enemy of man-eating ants, and the accomplice of the king of the southeast, the king of the northwest, its nest and ants are difficult to escape responsibility, and it is impossible to escape by chance.
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya were originally going to leave the ant nest and find a space tunnel to get out of the ant space kingdom, but after being gracious enough to stay in the ant nest for two more days, they had to learn about the living habits of ants by the way.
Today's lunch, the king of the northwest still accompanied the two guests to eat in a branch room near the guest room. Suddenly, an ant came to report that a colony of scout ants of the little southeast king had flown to the nest, and they called for the head of the king of the northwest.
As soon as the ant's words fell, a dozen or so flying man-eating ants flew into the chamber from the window of the mound. The King of the Northwest ordered the ants to meet the battle with all their might at once.
The man-eating ants that flew into the branch room were a vanguard reconnaissance force, and they quickly discovered the enemies Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya, except for one who flew out to report the news, the rest stared at the two enemies in the air, only to hear the order of the leading man-eating ants all swooped down towards the two enemies in the branch room.
The king of the northwest once fought with this flying man-eating ant, and it took dozens of ants to be killed and injured to hurt one of the other party's ants, knowing how powerful the other party was, he quickly fled to the side and secretly observed the movement.
I saw Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya leap into the air and fight towards the man-eating ants that swooped down.
The two turned their palms into knives and waved their palms at the swooping ants to kill, only to hear the sound of "brush, brush, brush......" in the air, and the man-eating ants that rushed in front of them in the blink of an eye were cut down to the ground, and more than a dozen man-eating ants were half wiped out at once. The remaining man-eating ants were not afraid of the two enemies, they did not hurt each other in the first round, they were not discouraged, and then carried out the second wave of attacks.
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya's light work, jumped up and down in the sub-room, evading the pursuit of man-eating ants, shot at the first opportunity, after more than a dozen rounds of fighting, only one man-eating ant remained, it was the leader of the vanguard reconnaissance force, seeing that its companions were killed by the enemy, it made an ugly ant "squeak...... sound", in a vain attempt to scare off the other party with the sound, and at the same time opened its mouth wide to reveal its sharp upper jaw like a knife, and rushed violently towards Wei Xinyu, and was easily dodged by Wei Xinyu, The moment it turned around, Heng Liya had already jumped to the side of the flying ant, and cut the flying ant in two.
After the battle, the king of the northwest walked out, and Wei Xinyu said to it eagerly:
"Hurry up and arrange for the ants to block all the entrances and exits of the branch room where we live, leaving only a secret passage for us to escape. Wait a minute, a large number of flying ants will rush in, and we will wait for them in that room. ”
The King of the Northwest just saw that the two of them had a hard time killing a dozen or so flying ants, and it was difficult to kill thousands of fierce man-eating ants, so he asked suspiciously:
"Can you two do it? That's thousands of ants, and 100,000 of us have a hard time dealing with them. ”
"You don't care, you are only responsible for blocking all the holes and passages, leaving only one window on the mound, and we will be the bait to let them fly into the chamber where we live. Once all the flying ants have flown into the room, you quickly block the windows as well. ”
The king of the northwest asked, "How did you escape?" ”
Wei Xinyu replied: "You can leave us a secret passage." We have a way to get out. ”
So, Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya returned to the branch room where they were staying, and the king of the northwest obeyed Wei Xinyu's instructions and ordered his worker ants to seal all the passages in this branch room, leaving only a small secret passage in the inconspicuous dark place in the corner of the branch room. Just in case, the king of the northwest secretly made preparations with both hands, arranging tens of thousands of ants at various crossings to prepare for battle, and they will have a final decisive battle with the man-eating ants, fighting to the death. They will defend their nests to the death.
Everything was ready, the small southeast king's army of man-eating ants also arrived, they flew into the branch room from the only small window on the mound, and found that Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya were sitting in the branch room, hundreds of flying ants killed the two enemies, killing the branch room to the dark, and then all the thousands of flying ants flew into the branch room one after another, and the whole branch room was full of flying ants.
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya were covered by a protective shield, and the flying ants that attacked them in the air couldn't help them. The cunning little southeast king did not enter the chamber for a long time, and kept wandering and flying near the window, until an ant reported that it could not attack the two enemies in the chamber, and then it led the last group of flying ants into the chamber.
As soon as Xiao Dongnan Wang entered the branch room, all the flying ants immediately made a way, as soon as he flew to the top of Wei Xinyu's head, he rushed directly towards him, and a cadre next to him also swooped towards Heng Liya, and both ants were bounced back by the protective shield and fell to the ground. The little southeast king got up from the haystack, climbed in front of Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya, and asked viciously:
"Did you kill my eldest brother, the King of the Southeast?"
Wei Xinyu replied unequivocally: "Yes!" ”
The little southeast king said angrily: "You must pay for your lives!" I'm going to avenge my big brother! …… Kill them for me! As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of flying ants swooped down on them in desperation.
Suddenly, the skylight where the flying ants flew in was blocked, and the whole room became dark all of a sudden, and the man-eating ants could only fly in the room by smell because they couldn't see, and they couldn't tell where the two enemies were hiding at once.
The flying ants who were afraid of fire panicked now, and flew around the room like a headless fly in the room, screaming, and making a mess of porridge. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and thousands of flying ants, who didn't fly long in the air, were so smoked that they fell into the fire one after another and were burned to death.
Wei Xinyu and Heng Liya had quietly slipped out of the hidden passage that they had left, and sealed the hole of the secret passage, and after a few hours of burning out, the king of the northwest ordered its worker ants to open the blocked passage and found a large number of man-eating ant remains that had been burned to ashes.
When the ants were cleaning the room, they found that the piles of man-eating ants in the dark passage were suffocated and died, among which the little southeast king crawled out of the dead ant pile due to the protection of many guards and breath, and because the wings were burned and could not fly, he went crazy and bit at the worker ants who cleaned up the dead corpses, in vain to open a bloody way for himself.
The worker ants found that the little southeast king who was still alive was twice as big as them, and they were not afraid at all, and they swarmed towards the little southeast king with the same hatred, and the little southeast king's mouth was no matter how powerful, after all, it couldn't fight thousands of troops, and it was burned by the fire, and it was not long before it was bitten by many ants, and when the northwest king found out, the little southeast king was already dying.
After the king of the northwest repelled the worker ants that had pounced on the little southeast king, he approached the little southeast king and said:
"Brother, you have sent troops to destroy my lair many times, causing me to hide in Tibet, I didn't expect you to have today."
The little southeast king struggled, wanted to attack the other party, but unfortunately it was powerless, it stood up, with a sharp upper jaw, frightened the northwest king to retreat, the worker ants swarmed up, the little southeast king tore the bite, and soon divided it into five horses, and the little southeast king was finally eliminated. Now the king of the northwest has no strong rivals in the kingdom of ant space, he should be regarded as the king, he said to the two benefactors:
"Thank you for helping us eliminate the strong opponent of the Little Southeast King, and when we destroy the nest of man-eating ants, we will basically have no worries in the future. We plan to divide our ant colony out and cross the river to the other side of the river. ”
Wei Xinyu clenched his hands into fists and said goodbye to the Northwest King, "Since you no longer have any worries, we should also consider how to return to our original space." ”
"Don't worry, we still need your help." Seeing that Wei Xinyu wanted to leave, the King of the Northwest tried his best to keep them and said, "After we destroy the nest of man-eating ants together, I will accompany you to find the space tunnel, I am more familiar than you in the ant space kingdom, and I know where the space tunnel is." ”
"Okay," Wei Xinyu nodded in agreement, "We'll stay here for a few more days." ”
