Thank you for winning the empty commuter pass.

Wu Chen sighed subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this breath came out, it made a long echo.

No, not an echo. But...... Someone is playing a prank!

"Who is it?" Wu Chen's blurted out a low question, which was also amplified like a tweeter.

The demigod brainwaves, which had been loose, quickly condensed, and he finally knew who was playing the prank.

I thought I wouldn't know, but I didn't expect people to find him a long time ago. and buried his spiritual tentacles in Wu Chen's brainwaves.

That's right, this powerful spiritual powerhouse is the master of this room - the queen of gold ants.

Wu Chen tried to greet him.

Outcome......

'Hello, human. ’

The message was clear.

Compared with the information cubes that monitor lizards can understand, the information sent back by the queen ant is as delicate as that of humans! And it's even better!

This concise message is not a verbal message, but a more powerful spiritual communication.

'Hello, Queen Ant. In addition to being shocked, Wu Chen was not rude.

'You broke into my territory for these eggs?' 'The queen is strong.

'Yes, the queen. Here are a few monitor lizard eggs that I want to retrieve. 'In front of the strong, naked sincerity is the only capital.

'Are they the domes?' ’

'Yes, there are five. Wu Chen hurriedly replied.

'Are they your children?' ’

'What? Wu Chen had some jumpers.

I said, Is it your child in the egg? ’

'No, no, queen. We weren't born from eggs...... ' Wu Chen could only explain like this.

'So what do these eggs have to do with you?' ’

'How can I say, the mother of these eggs, is mine...... Friend. Wu Chen tried not to complicate things.

'What is a friend?' ’

It's someone who is not related by blood who you are willing to do what you can for him without pay. ’

'Regardless of remuneration, do what you can...... ' repeated Wu Chen's summons. The queen suddenly replied, 'Would you like to be my friend?' ’

'......' Wu Chen had a sense of immediacy when he was brought into the pit. So I asked, 'What do you need me to do?' ’

That's right. On the edge of my territory, a 'horde' of strange invaders has emerged. Not only did they fight with me for territory, but they even wreaked havoc on my caves. None of the worker ants I've sent to investigate have come back with any news, so I'd like you to see what went wrong. 'The queen has something to ask for.

Wu Chen keenly felt that this was a very difficult problem.

'What kind of 'group of invaders'? Wu Chen needs to know the details. So as to judge whether the deal is a good deal.

'Creatures like us. The queen's answer was vague. Apparently she didn't know the specifics either.

'Can you swallow metal?' Wu Chen will not let go of any detail.

That's right. They are greedy for metal. It will even devour our passages. The mental fluctuations coming from the queen ant were full of undisguised hatred. Obviously, these mysterious opponents have caused the Gold Eaters to suffer heavy losses.

However, Wu Chen feels that this is a kind of natural balancing mechanism.

In order to limit the unbridled expansion of the nest of gold-eating ants, a creature that specializes in restraining them came into being. This kind of confrontation, although very disgusting to the queen ant, greatly slowed down the expansion of the anthill. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Especially for the Earth today.

'Where are they?' Wu Chen decided to take another task.

It's a bit far from here. Travel through a territory of rats. The queen ant informed Wu Chen of the approximate location. It was impossible for the queen ant to go in person, and this information was obviously transmitted by her men.

Is it just a matter of finding 'them'? Wu Chen actually didn't have much choice.

'Yes. Just tell me what they are. The queen said with certainty.

'If I promise you, will you help me get these eggs back?' ’

'No problem. The voice did not fall. The army of gold-devouring ants rushed in from all directions! These large ants with large, sharp jaw teeth, red and as strong as a foal, are clearly soldier ants! Wu Chen had no doubt that those powerful jaw teeth could cut him into two pieces!

In other words, the queen ant is ready to talk about collapse!

Throwing a cup? Salute before soldiers?!

It's dangerous......

A few giant eggs were lifted up by a group of soldier ants with their jaw teeth, like a light boat in the red torrent, leisurely rowing in front of Wu Chen's body and running into the distance.

"......" Wu Chen sighed softly. There is a glimmer of frustration from being the master of the earth.

These days, not only cooks, but even ants know the art of war!

It's not easy to do business......

The queen generously sent a few worker ants to lead the way. This sent Wu Chen on the road. Out of respect for another high-level life and the spirit of contract, Wu Chen must complete this reconnaissance mission.

Befriending the queen seems to be a plus in the long run.

Although I don't know how the gold-devouring ants transmitted the information, judging from the fact that the big ants along the way met Wu Chen, who was riding dog meat, and avoided them, the queen's order had already arrived first.

A colony of worker ants crawling with all their might. The speed was not slow, which made Wu Chen even more impressed.

Metal pipes lead in all directions, and after running for an hour, they arrive at the rodent colony. The reason why Wu Chen knew this was because he had encountered several seriously damaged pipes. There are also several carcasses of knife-spine rats. Only then did Wu Chen understand the importance of building metal pipelines by gold-devouring ants. For example, when traversing the territory of the Knife-Spine Rat, thick metal pipes are an excellent defense. Even if there are one or two breakages, the soldiers patrolling nearby will swarm and besiege them, killing the intruder in the shortest possible time.

Wu Chen is no stranger to these mutant rats.

Not long ago, I witnessed the tragic situation of a sturdy fork-horned protocow being devoured in an instant by a dense number of knife-spine rats. As we go deeper, the metal anthill is more and more damaged, and a few knife-spine rats and a group of gold-eating ants can be seen everywhere. Occasionally, there are teams of spine rats and dog meat passing by.

Thanks to the Colonization Armor, his pheromones were kept out, and as long as he didn't attack the rats, the journey through the line of fire was safe.

Because no knife spine rat would be interested in a moving lump of iron.

However, the worker ants leading the way were cut off and dragged away from time to time by the spine rats that came out of the fork in the road. Soon, the last worker ant to lead the way was stopped and killed by the murderous pipe hunters. Wu Chen hadn't had time to react yet. The body had been dragged away as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, as we get farther and farther away from the core nest, the fork in the road gradually disappears. There was only a dark straight road left in front of Wu Chen. It's a barren pipe that even gold-eaters rarely pay attention to.

It was filled with all sorts of breakages and landslides, as well as silted black ash.

Walk carefully through the broken pipes, and before you know it, the metal channels are suddenly replaced by familiar concrete trenches. Wu Chen came to an artificially constructed urban sewer. After a short walk, we reached an upward well at the end of the sewer. The iron fence that blocked him also hung a nameplate for the maintenance passage. Although there is an upward iron ladder on the wall of the wellhead, it shatters when touched and cannot bear the weight at all.

The manhole cover on the top of the head is the size of a normal human, and the dog meat obviously can't get out.

"Go up and have a look." Motioning to the dog meat to find another exit, Wu Chen visually measured the height from the ground and jumped up suddenly.

With a cannon shot, the high-pressure steam stored in the metal cells pushed him upward, and Wu Chen turned over and jumped on the ground. Reach out and catch the tumbling manhole cover. Gently putting it in place, Wu Chen quickly looked around and found that this was an edge area that he was not familiar with.

"Master, this place is very close to the river, be careful!" TT40 hurriedly gave a warning.

"TT40, scan the exact direction."

"Naxigou Port Area." The TT40 quickly pinpointed the exact bearing.

"So, we're at a port?" Following the gloomy skyline, Wu Chen easily spotted the ruins of a portal crane tower towering in the distance. There are also mountains of scrapped container bodies.

Hide in the shadow of a building. Wu Chen was carefully identifying the footprints of a mutant beast on the ground.

"TT40, compare the database."

"Oh my God. Crucible Six-legged Leopard! TT40 exclaimed, "Master, it is said that there is a small biochemical furnace in the belly of the furnace leopard, which, like the filthy hyena, can melt the alloy at the molecular level!" The Colonization Armor simply can't withstand its attack! ”

Seeing that Wu Chen was silent, Zhi Brain urged repeatedly: "What are you waiting for, master, let's go!" ”

"TT40, don't worry. The footprints are quirky. After Wu Chen carefully identified them, he pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Look at these dried mud marks, they seem to be all footprints from the past. The latest batch is estimated to be several days ago. "Close to the river, the ground is wet. Wu Chen judged from his experience of playing with mud when he was a child, and these footprints turned into hard mud. It must have been a long time to step on it.

"What's so strange about this, big predators don't go out to hunt every day. You can eat for several days with a single hunt. TT40 retorted.

Wu Chen defended: "That's right, but the more powerful the beast, the tighter the territory. They patrol their territory many times a day and use urine to demarcate borders, so they can't just have footprints from days ago. "It's an experience from the animal world.

"I see." TT40 suddenly said, "Master, could it be that mysterious gold-devouring mutant beast that killed the six-legged leopard?" ”

Wu Chen's heart moved: "Since the nest of the gold devouring ant is connected here, it is obvious that the problem is here......

Although he was very confident in his judgment, Wu Chen still probed cautiously before deciding to trespass into the territory of the high-level mutant beast. After a long time, the furnace leopard had not yet appeared, and Wu Chen made up his mind to come out of the shadows in the corner.

"Everything works." The TT40 quickly scans his surroundings and reports the information it receives to him.

Walking through the open area where there is nowhere to hide, the ruins of the riverside full of containers should be the habitat of the furnace leopard.

As he walked, Wu Chen suddenly stopped: "There are blood stains." ”

The splattered blood was thirsty and looked like rust. Wu Chen dipped his finger in it and wiped off a layer of jet-black blood scabs.

"Not blood. The red blood cells have been apoptotic for several days. TT40 quickly came up with a preliminary result: "I'm not sure which mutant beast's blood is, so be careful, owner." ”

Wu Chen nodded.

If it was the Gold Devouring Beast that died, it meant that the six-legged leopard was indeed as powerful as the rumors. If it is a six-legged leopard that dies, it means that the gold-devouring beast is stronger than the six-legged leopard!

Whoever dies or lives is not good news for him!

Walk around the ruins of several collapsed buildings and see the aftermath of the Great War.

I saw that on the ruins of dilapidated containers, solidified molten steel was splashed everywhere. The broken box was crouched in the huge pit, whose blood was dripping and splattering all over the scorched earth, and there were splinters and bent steel plates everywhere.

Wu Chen also found terrifying scratches on a steel beam. When I reached out, the scratches were deeper than my fingers. (To be continued......)
