Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Lot of Ants!
Standing beside the stone monument more than one person high, Xiao Tiantian, the fox king dressed in red, looked very embarrassed at this time.
Just now, Ren Wangcai was asked to explore the realm in the dry well behind the monument, but it turned out that there was no entrance at all, and it was simply a wasted well that was abandoned and not used.
Finding the wrong place both times made the thousand-year-old fox king's face a little unbearable, coupled with Ren Song's cowardly expression on the side. It made her feel even more unhappy.
Quietly looking at the three big characters of "Iron Steamed Bun" on the stele, the more the fox king looked at it, the more strange it became, the stele had been searched by her up and down, and there was no news of the mechanism. Isolated here, there is a well behind it, which is weird no matter how you look at it.
With a frown, he carefully observed the cracks on the stele, judging from the weathering of the stone, it was by no means new. It's just that there is no text on the tablet except for the iron steamed bun engraved, which makes this Taiyin demon queen a little dazed for a while.
It was far away from the demon's grave, and it didn't look like a tombstone, let alone a stone scripture, so indecent, it was inexplicably wonderful, but one thing she was sure of was that it had something to do with the demon's lair.
"Iron steamed buns? What does that mean? Ren Ruyue, who was standing not far from her, looked at the big characters on the tablet at this time, and pushed Ren Wangcai beside her to ask.
Ren Wangcai next to him glanced at him in confusion and shook his head again and again. Seeing this, the little girl turned her head to look at the fat old man who was looking at the excitement next to her, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law of the land, your old man is the head snake of Dongping, you should know the name of the place here, this iron steamed bun ......"
Seeing that this little ghost gave himself eye medicine again, he glanced at the demon queen who was turning his head to look at this side in horror, and the fat land waved his hand and said: "Little ghost, don't talk nonsense, I really don't know ...... this place" Speaking of this, he glanced at the beautiful woman in red carefully, and then said with a smile: "But I guess...... This monument must have something to do with the demon's lair. ”
"Cut! You're saying this as if you didn't say it! When the coward next to him heard this, he said with contempt: "There is really no one in the underworld, and at your level, you can also be the lord of the land." "I was hurt by this dead old man last time, if I don't take advantage of him to fall into the well and lose two sentences at this time, Ren Song will really become an instigator.
Sure enough, hearing Ren Song's teasing, although Old Man Wang looked angry, he didn't respond in the end.
"Master of the family, do you know the meaning of iron steamed buns?" Ren Wangcai next to him asked coldly.
Seeing the ill-intentioned look in this kid's eyes, he scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I don't know about the iron steamed buns, but I've heard of the earth steamed buns." ”
"Dream of Red Mansions? Are you saying the tomb is made of iron? The fox beauty on the side looked back at the hill not far away, and asked suspiciously.
"How can there be benefits to look at the Red Mansion! It's just that in the Song poems that I was forced to memorize when I was a child, there is such a sentence! The coward next to him squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "Actually, that fox sister, today's brain case is a little square, regardless of whether it has an entrance or not, your old man has a magic weapon in his hand, just drill a hole in this grave, isn't it!" Even if it's really an iron grave, your hook and blade are not vegetarians, right......"
After listening to Ren Song's words, the girl in red was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded abruptly: "But there is some truth." She was only thinking about how to find the entrance just now, and for a while she forgot about it, but now she was awakened by a sentence of encouragement, and immediately left the stone tablet, stood still in front of the small hill, and immediately sacrificed the double treasure, wanting to smash a hole.
Seeing the fox beauty leave, this cowardly breathed a sigh of relief, what he just said casually, actually used Sichuan dialect to satirize the demon king, the so-called brain case is a little square, that is, the brain is not smooth and too stupid.
However, it seems that this little sweet demon queen doesn't know much dialect, and Ren Song's suggestion about drilling holes just woke her up, so this fox demon didn't bother with him, looking at his slave, the two little guys also followed. He hurriedly walked over there, but unexpectedly saw that the fat earth was smiling and extending his thumbs to him, and his eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Inexplicably glanced at the old guy twice, and the coward turned around and walked towards the girl in red. Before he got closer, he heard a crisp sound, and then he heard the fox king, "Ahh A scream, in a tone that seemed to be very regretful.
When he approached, he saw the fox demon holding the bright silver hook in his hand, and his eyes were full of regret. The sharp-eyed cowards saw from a distance that a small gap had been broken out on the tip of the hook. But what is even more surprising is that the small hill opposite has not changed in the slightest.
"What a great iron steamed bun!" The fox beauty said with some loss. The Bright Moon Hook is already the strongest magic weapon she has at hand, and if she can't break through the hole, then there is really no hope. Turning her head to look at Ren Song who was rushing over, the woman in red shook her head and said, "Don't count on the hole, let's find a way to find the entrance." ”
"Huh?" Hearing her say this, Ren Song was also disappointed, he never thought that the magic weapon of the girl in red could not break this iron steamed bun! No wonder the fat old man just now gave him a thumbs up.
"Wait!" The coward's heart moved, and he turned around and grabbed the fat land's collar and said, "This old ghost must know that he made a small gesture at me just now." If it weren't for the words of the fox demon on the way to come, he would definitely pretend not to know, but at this time, he ******** thought of entering the ghost king's lair and getting the heart of the nine ghost demon ants out, how could he still be as slack as he was just now.
"Oh?" Xiao Tiantian, the demon queen who was standing in a daze, answered, and turned her gaze to the king's land.
I never dreamed that Ren Song, who was also a captive, would turn against him, and the fat old man was really a smoker. Seeing that the fox demon was looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Niang Niang forgives her sins." I really don't know that this is a devil's lair, I only know that the iron steamed bun is a small mountain bag, the soil is harder than steel, and I don't know what kind of magic weapon, I can't make a hole! Wang Di said anxiously, for fear that he would speak slowly, and then be cut into two by this fox demon.
Although he knew that this king's land must have something to hide, Xiao Tiantian didn't care about it, and asked coldly: "How do I have to go in?" The fat old man saw that her face was cold, and he said helplessly: "The little one really doesn't know how to get in, the specific situation, when it gets dark, the mother will understand it at a glance."
"It's dark?" The fox demon queen looked up at the sky, it was night at this time, and a crescent moon had already hung in the east, what the hell was this old guy doing. She snorted coldly and was about to speak, but she heard Ren Ruyue next to her pointing to the mound and shouting, "Ah, ants...... Ant! ”
Looking in the direction she pointed, the demon queen was also taken aback, but saw countless purple jade demon ants coming out of the hill and gathering in front of the mountain. Shocked and said, "This ...... This...... Why so many? ”
However, Ren Wangcai in front of him was very calm, and said strangely: "Hey, these ants seem to be different from the one just now?" Looks skinny? As he spoke, he saw that the purple ants had lined up in a long line, and went straight to the mass grave not far away, but he turned a blind eye to them.
was still frightened, but when he saw that the ant did not pay attention to him, but went away from a distance, he suddenly lost the nervousness just now, looked down carefully, and saw that although the ant was also purple, it was much smaller than the one he saw at the beginning. Thinking of the popular science books I read when I was a child, I couldn't help but ask: "Is this a worker ant?" ”
"Male ants?" Ren Ruyue, who was watching strangely from the sidelines, looked up at him and said with a smile: "Family master, don't these many ants have a mother?" ”
"Haha, I'm talking about the worker, not the male and female!" Although he was angry with these two slaves, seeing her cute face, this coward couldn't help but laugh: "I used to read books that there are several kinds of ants, the queen ant who is responsible for giving birth to children, the soldier ant who is responsible for fighting, and the worker ant who is responsible for nesting and foraging. ”
"Ahh I can't believe that there are so many names for ants! The little girl listened very curiously, reached out and touched a demon ant walking by, and was about to sigh. Suddenly caught by a big ant from behind, the little girl was shocked and called for help. Unexpectedly, the ants ran fast with her, and soon came to the stele of the iron steamed bun. The rest of the crowd followed.
Ren Song saw that the ant that caught her was quite large, and a pair of clawed pincers were quite huge, the same as the one caught by the fox demon at the beginning, and hurriedly said: "This must be a soldier ant, escorting the worker ant to forage, just now you touched the worker ant, it must have been regarded as an enemy." ”
was carried by the soldier ant to the dry well behind the monument, but saw the soldier ant chelate and threw the little girl into the bottom of the well. Then he turned and walked away.
"Ah...... Yes...... Yes! Ren Ruyue didn't know what she had encountered at the bottom of the well, and her scream was really terrible. Ren Wangcai was about to go down to save people, but he saw a yellow light rising from the bottom of the well, which instantly drilled into Ren Song's brain, but it turned out that the little girl couldn't climb up at the bottom of the well for a while, and encountered a very terrible creature at the bottom, and finally in desperation, she simply turned into light and returned to the head of the house.
When Ren Ruyue came out of this coward again, the ant army was gone, and the thousand-year-old fox king was inspecting the mound at this time, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find where those ants ran out.
"There's not even an exit! Where do these ants come from? After finding the entrance in vain, the fox king asked with a strange face.
"This ant is a spell used to transform the void, and it escaped!" Wang Di, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.
"Turning reality into fiction!" The fox beauty was overjoyed when she heard this, turned to look at Ren Song, who looked lively, and said with a smile: "This time it's time for you to show off your skills!" ”
