Chapter 597: The Price
According to the twelve hands of the clock, the Green Emperor and Devouring were standing outside the twelve o'clock scale at this time.
Looking at the huge trench in front of them, which was digging deeper and longer, the paint bucket and the long bamboo pole in the hands of the two people, "Bang!
Occasionally, some moles that have no time to escape underground, or some other animals living underground, are gnawed clean as soon as they show some fur, so that the two of them can't help but retreat again and again.
As for the dead grass of the trees, and even the dead branches and leaves that have rotted on the ground for I don't know how many years have been, they have become scarce food that can be seen everywhere when gold-eating ants dig pits and build cities.
Look at the higher and higher city walls again, and the large ants crawling densely above. The two of them don't dare to run now, and they don't even dare to move.
Thousands of meters of walls are rising from the ground at the same time, how many gold-eating ants are needed for this? I'm afraid it will be at least about 100,000. Now these dog-sized ants may be too busy building a city to take care of them.
If, because of some movement caused by them, they might become like those moles underground, and they would be eaten clean in an instant!
But standing in place and waiting for death so dryly brought great pain to the hearts of the two of them. No one wants to die, not even the mighty Inhuman.
There are too many gold-eating ants, and they may be able to live longer except for waiting for death. Who knows if Ma Shuo can completely control everything?
It has stood for a long time on the edge of death, and the sun has gradually risen three poles. This section of the 100-meter-high wall, which is about a kilometer long, has been gradually completed with a 100-meter-deep trench to match it.
I saw that the middle of the city wall to the middle of the deep pit gradually cracked a gap on both sides. Quickly reveal a new outer layer that has been re-gnawed by gold-eating ants and fully fused with saliva, slowly spreading out to the sides like a curtain.
The saliva of gold-eating ants contains special substances that are extremely corrosive and capable of separating almost any normal metal from minerals. The only exceptions are special metals such as mercury, which are not solid at room temperature, or magnesium, which can spontaneously ignite in the air.
The material left out is very adhesive, but it is extremely strong and shock-resistant when dried. This is also an important reason why Ling Shuang first hoped that Ma Shuo would come forward and use gold-eating ants to establish a town.
But I didn't expect it to make such a big deal all of a sudden, and 100,000 gold-eating ants worked together. This kind of scene from sight to hearing, and even the touch of feeling vibration under their feet, and being shocked or even frightened at the same time, is probably something they would never have dreamed of!
When the city wall in front of me is about three or four hundred meters exposed, it dries and hardens quickly under the autumn wind. The air with the strange smell of gold-eating ant saliva was occasionally blown into the noses of the two of them by a whirlwind.
The two of them suddenly became a spirit!
Slowly turning their heads to look at each other, the Green Emperor swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked tremblingly, "We, let's still go, can we go back?"
"It should work. Devouring couldn't help grinning and replied, "This, it's only noon!"
After saying that, the two of them were together again, and their legs were weak, "Bang!" and sat directly on the ground. Stunned, he looked up at the hundred-meter wall rising from the ground, and his eyes slowly followed to the sides.
And the electric eye standing on the wall of the ancient castle, although due to the distance is too far, it is not as shocking as the hearts of the two Green Emperors. But from her, you can look at the overall situation and accept some alternative shocks from another angle!
If this is only a small black mountain with a height of only 100 meters, and the ancient castle that has stood on it for a hundred years, it can be regarded as the central axis of a clock.
Then the three, six, nine, and twelve o'clock scales of this giant clock are the initial positions where all the gold-eating ants are building the city.
When the first scale was completed almost at the same time, the electric eye immediately discovered a pattern. That was the width of each section of the wall, almost exactly the two points she had fixed with her bullet.
In other words, when the twelve walls are fully completed, the outer walls of Platinum Town will be a standard twelve-sided wall!
The reason why I want to make this standard scale is because the mark that devours both of them is like this. But seeing the specifications of the city wall so perfect, she was more or less excited in her heart!
After all, in the end, it is the precise markings made by her electric eyes that can guide the gold-eating ants to quickly find the correct position.
Especially when she saw a town being built at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and she played a vital role in it, Electric Eye found that she was not nervous at all.
He kept running around the city walls, and whenever he stopped, he immediately raised his gun and looked at it with a scope.
Occasionally, like an ordinary girl, she would make a trumpet shape with her hands around her mouth, and cheer at the gold-eating ants who were ten kilometers away and could not hear her shouting: "Come on!
The moon is bright in the sky, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
I didn't even drink saliva for most of the day, but I didn't feel hungry at all. Except for no longer shouting loudly because of thirst, the excitement of the whole person is not less at all.
At this time, the Black Mountain is obviously dozens of meters higher than during the day, or another explanation is that since the city wall was completely closed, all the gold-eating ants have dug down the entire area of land dozens of meters deep when they began to build the labyrinth in the city.
Objective?
Of course, it is to aggregate into a labyrinth wall, and it is also the entrance and exit of the ant nest that they may use in the future!
The small hill called Black Mountain under him rose to a height of more than 200 meters in one day, and all of this was done quickly under the gaze of the electric eye. It also made her have to admit from the bottom of her heart that the establishment of Platinum Town is indeed a great miracle!
Lying on the city wall, looking at the ant colony that quickly burrowed back into the ground and disappeared completely in less than a minute. Dianyan couldn't help but exclaim again: "Eighteen hours! A small city with a radius of ten kilometers took less than eighteen hours!"
Suddenly, a breeze blew through the tips of his hair, and the moment he asked about the saliva smell of gold-eating ants in his nose, the whole person was obviously stunned. Immediately after that, he immediately took his rifle and fell down the city wall, smashed open the gate and rushed quickly into the castle.
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai!" rushed to the queen's side almost as fast as he could, and found that the biggest hero, except for Ma Shuo, had lost three or four laps of weight at this time. It is constantly being fed by worker ants, replenishing the large amount of energy consumed to build a city.
Seeing this, Dianyan immediately turned to leave, and when she pushed open the door of Ma Shuo's room, she saw that Ling Shuang, Void, Jesses, and even the Fire Demon were all alarmed by the sound of the door opening and looked back at her.
was suddenly watched by so many people, which made the whole person of the electric eye stiffen suddenly. A very bad thought flashed in his mind in an instant, and he couldn't help frowning and asked carefully: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what's wrong?"
The faces of everyone who heard this question instantly became mixed.
The void sighed slightly and moved out of the way: "Come and see for yourself!"
"This!" The moment he saw Ma Shuo's current appearance, his pupils suddenly shrank: "This is?"
