XXXIII Sura Negotiations
Muhadi stood up, but instead of trying to take advantage of the opportunity, he said loudly in a clear and bright voice:
"We're going to negotiate!"
"Are you crazy?negotiation with ants?!" Muscular Daddy leaned over to say unaware of Muhadi's idea.
"It's better than heroic. Muhadi sued him.
This is a big gamble, the bet is that the queen ant thinks she has completely controlled the situation, and is not afraid that the two will escape, and is willing to temporarily stop and tease the two prey in hand. The curse of the queen ant just now has clearly exposed a message, that is, the queen ant is different from ordinary soldier ants and worker ants, and the queen ant can use language and be able to communicate.
"What conditions do you have to negotiate with the great hive?" the queen said in that blunt tone, "Your life is in the hands of the hive, which means that your every qi qi depends on the difference between the hive's thoughts, what else can you come up with?!"
Muhadi thought happily, "Of course it's a lot of important things, your life!"
Obviously he was beaten by the other party and ran around, and he still had the courage to talk like this, well, yes, very much for Dad's appetite. The muscular daddy thought, so he also echoed. "Daddy didn't have the strength just now, otherwise you would have become a dead ant!"
Both the queen and Muhati ignored him and continued to talk. "You want to threaten the hive with this Moorish male? Psychic Warlock, you're too arrogant!"
"I relied on the four companions we had captured. Muhadi said calmly, even forcing himself to put an unfathomable smile on his face.
"Apparently you've lost your mind, and the hive's magic has scared you crazy. â
"Then you should take it as a madman's madness," Muhathir continued in a nonchalant tone, "and you think we're going to come here unsuspecting?"
"Your scam is so rudimentary, it was discovered long before we even got here. Hmph, 'Orc Relic Capital', don't you know that this place is close to the sacred mountain of the ancient elves?" "Don't you realize that you have scattered too many maps, and the adventurers in the city-state have seen through your trap?"
To control the situation, the love must be a servant and not a master, and it can only appear when we allow it to appear. This is the teaching of Lyra, the training of the Psychman.
I don't know if the hive has a sense of humor, but the queen ant replied sarcastically, "Don't be ashamed." Whatever you noticed before, now that you're in the hands of the Hive, so are your companions!"
"The great hive was as powerful as we expected, but we were prepared. â
I can't be afraid, fear is a lurking grim reaper that kills the ability to think, I have to tolerate it and let it pass in front of my heart. When this qiÄ passed, I opened my eyes in the depths of my soul and examined its trajectory, fear was like the wind, the wind passed without a trace, only I was still standing. Muhadi silently recited the anti-fear prayer and then calmly said:
"Each of us had poison on us before we entered this ruin!"
Whether the queen ant was surprised or not, it was almost impossible to see on that chitin face. However, the muscular daddy next to him was really shocked, but fortunately, his skin was rough and thick, and his face was covered with blood and mucus, so he couldn't see it.
"A special poison, a secret recipe for ant colony, the work of the alchemists of Ulric City. It's harmless to humanoids, but if you eat it, widespread death is inevitable. â
"A lie that can be broken at the first pok. The queen coldly pointed out, "With this poison, you can poison your weapons, but you don't." â
"Even if you do take this poison, the hive can kill you and leave the corpse far away. â
Although the queen ant still disdainfully denied it, it had already been put on the topic, and Muhadi knew that the seeds of doubt had been planted, and that was enough.
Muhadi said confidently, "We can't fight against you, but it's not easy to kill us, at least we have to pay for dozens of lives, do you dare to continue to use magic in the hive?"
The boy pointed to the corpses of several fallen worker ants beside the queen, which seemed to have been drained of all body fluids in an instant, which was very terrifying.
In Attas, the power of magic is staggering, but the cost of magic is also extremely high, that is, it must extract the life force of living beings.
The nest is located underground, and naturally there are not many plants to grow, only a small amount of moss and fungi. Moreover, there are no creatures other than the ant clan in the hive, and magic cannot extract life force from hostile people, so the queen ant has to extract the life force of the worker ants around her to maintain magic.
"Hand over our companions and let us go. We can act as your agent in the city-state and attract more victims for the hive to ......"
â...... Or, choose to kill us all. Then we will fight to the death, and you will get nothing but to pay more Ant-Man lives. â
The queen's mouthparts clicked, much like a human groan, "Liar! the hive won't believe the murderer who kills so many lives!"
Muhadi continued to add to the task: "Why don't you bring those four people here, and let's do a test? Kill one of them and let a worker ant taste it, and you will know if what I said is true, and whether our mention is sincere or not." A test doesn't cost a hive, but an impulse can cost you a potential partner. â
Muscle Daddy turned his head sharply and stared at Muhadi in a daze. It was only out of the trust that had been built up by fighting side by side before that he did not rashly ask.
"No," the queen's big compound eyes didn't show any emotion, "then just kill one, but don't bring it to the throne room." â
Finally relieved, Muhati secretly rejoiced, and continued to maneuver while preparing to turn his face and move immediately, "No, because then I don't know if you have done anything." What if you trick us into agreeing, and then secretly kill all four?"
The queen was visibly impatient, but she wasn't suspicious, probably thinking that the intruder would never be able to pull up any tricks again.
"Deal. It said.
After a while, a group of worker ants brought up the four of them, wrapped in something like a white spider's web. Seeing this situation, the muscle daddy hurriedly rushed forward, opened the white sticky net, and said affectionately, "My love!"
The ants didn't stop it, they weren't afraid of the intruders at this time. After all, if there really was that kind of so-called poison, it could have been secretly used on the two of them when they were talking just now. For the ant clan, one person is poisoned and everyone is poisoned. As social creatures, they do not distinguish much between individual and collective differences.
Muhati also pulled Aisha out, who had been trapped in the sticky net for a long time and looked a little confused due to lack of oxygen, but the joy on his face could not be erased before.
"Now prove what you say, Psychiocrat. Then we can discuss cooperation. The queen urged stiffly.
"I'm lying. Muhadi said calmly when he saw that everyone had gathered.
Psionic energy suddenly gathers, thoughts are transformed into energy, and energy is turned into power.
It was as if a lake of water had gathered in the brain, which was higher and deeper, and finally broke through the barrier of the embankment and plunged for thousands of miles.
Faced with a sudden change, the queen ant disdainfully gave instructions to the swarm, "Kill them all." â
The cone of energy gradually took shape under Muhadi's mental guidance, and shot out, and the queen didn't care until it could see the direction of the attack.
Muhadi aimed at the top of the sand nest, directly above the queen.
As early as entering the lobby, Muhathir was thinking of a way out, and his only hope was to take advantage of the terrain.
The hive was built beneath the ruins of ancient orcs, hollowing out the foundations of the entire sprawling structure. When he broke the wall of the well just now, the boy even had one side of the well hollowed out, and it is conceivable how unstable the geology here has become.
In general, ants use saliva to fortify their nests, so it doesn't matter if they build their nests in sand. But Ant-Man is much more than the average ant, and even if it is reinforced with saliva, the sandy and gravel geology of Atas is still too soft.
The energy cone hit the ceiling fiercely, and the ant queen let out an angry click, and did not hesitate to drain the vitality of many ant-men around him again, creating a huge magic ball to withstand the collapse.
"What are you doing, don't run yet!" Mouhathir shouted.

(For a three-dimensional object, its structural strength depends on the cross-sectional area of the support, and its weight depends on the volume.) In other words, if you zoom in in equal proportions, the strength of the object increases in square proportions and the weight increases in cubic proportions. The structure of Ant-Man's nest is similar to that of ants, and it is magnified by 1ooo times in equal proportions. In other words, although the structural strength of the nest has increased by 1ooo^2 times, its dead weight has increased by 1ooo^3 times. While they can fortify their nests with their mortal abilities, the sheer sandy geology of Atas makes them extremely vulnerable. īŧ
