The ant tide seemed to be fading for unknown reasons, but the white wolf did not let them go so easily, and ordered the priests to continue their attack, and the missiles and thunderstorms kept bombarding the giant ants, so that before they completely retreated, the corpses of a dozen giant ants were left in the mine again.

After a while, the ant tide finally receded completely, and all that was left was the corpses of giant ants all over the ground, which should have been a failed sortie from the perspective of giant ants, who had lost a large number of people in vain and gained nothing.

"You guys are on guard here, I'm going to go in and have a look!" Seeing the retreating ant tide, the white wolf didn't just give up and decided to go into the rift to investigate.

These giant ants are a huge threat to ordinary goblins, but the white wolf has no effective way to deal with them, now is an excellent opportunity to investigate them, if they can study the patterns or weaknesses of these giant ants, they can effectively avoid the attacks of giant ants in the future, at least in advance.

Autominers aren't designed for melee combat or battles in small alleys, so if you want to chase them in, leaving these goblins in the open area is the best option.

The white wolf had a vague feeling that if he chased him in to investigate this time, he was likely to be able to obtain huge benefits, these giant ants attacked his territory completely unreasonably, disrupted normal production activities and killed a lot of goblin workers, if they didn't let some blood goblet, they didn't want to leave so easily.

"Slow, I'll go with you!" the black wolf staggered down the hill from the pile of giant ant corpses, and it looked like the seal had been fully sealed.

"Just wait here, I'll go back as soon as I go. The white wolf did not agree to the black wolf's suggestion to act together, turned his head and burrowed into the crack, disappearing into the shadows.

The black wolf looked at the huge gap in front of him, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth or chased in, although now every step is very difficult, she still does not see the white wolf alone in danger, this gap is an ant hole made by the giant ants, it will definitely not be easy for a non-ant species like the white wolf to move inside, he needs a certain amount of support, otherwise safety may not be enough to guarantee.

Seeing that the black wolf also got into the ant hole, more than a dozen goblin priests stood in place a little dazed, hesitating whether they should chase them in the end, but finally decided to stay here, they are absolutely loyal to the white wolf, and are willing to give their lives to protect the white wolf, but the white wolf's requirement for them is to absolutely obey the orders from him, and at this time, the orders they received are here to be vigilant, and these goblin priests can only obey the order.

"How did this hole dig out...."The white wolf complained about the difference between this ant hole and what he imagined at first, probably due to the huge size of the giant ants, the inside of the ant hole is very spacious, and it doesn't feel crowded at all, but this does not mean that the ant path is easy to walk, thanks to the flexible limbs of the giant ants, they can dig the hole at a very incredible angle, this strange angle makes the white wolf a headache.

He often had to stand on his tiptoes and turn around at a difficult angle to keep going.

The white wolf was upset by the troublesome ant path, and finally he couldn't help it, and directly used the wind element to find out the general direction of the ant path, and then used the earth element to open the way, and the soil in front of it flowed like a liquid to both sides under the effect of the earth element magic, and finally formed a cylindrical passage, and those liquid dirt were pressed on the wall of the cylindrical passage by elemental magic at this time, and this passage can be said to be forcibly propped up.

It may be a bit risky to do so, as the ants will notice that someone is following them, but the white wolf feels that he is about to be lost, so he can only take a little risk to catch up first.

Halfway down the cylindrical passage, the white wolf sensed that something was wrong, and he felt the surrounding walls around him and the ground beneath his feet constantly shaking, which was obviously not the shaking caused by the instability of the earth elemental magic, but the disturbance caused by something huge moving through the dirt.

Such a sudden vibration made the white wolf feel quite uneasy, and when he was hesitating whether to simply retreat like this, the figure of a giant ant appeared on the other side of the passage, it looked quite panicked, and was desperately running towards the white wolf.

The white wolf was ready to meet the enemy, and was about to launch the fireball towards the giant ants, and at this time, the mutation suddenly appeared!

The wall on the right side of the giant ant suddenly burst open, and the clods of earth splashed, and the white wolf could clearly sense that the earth elemental barrier he had set up in that area had lost its senses, and this earth elemental barrier was used to squeeze the soil and maintain the existence of the passage.

At this moment, the barrier was shattered by something, and the result was that the squeezed soil was pressed towards the giant ants under the action of pressure, and the giant ants reacted very quickly, speeding up to avoid the impact from the dirt and rocks.

But that didn't mean it was safe, there was a real danger hidden behind the splashed clods, a huge bloody mouth pounced in the direction of the giant ant, the bloody mouth was facing the white wolf, and with the help of the power of the illumination circle, he could see what was happening in front of him clearly.

In front of him was a large oval-shaped mouth with messy, sharp spiral-shaped mouthparts inside the mouth, and in the center was a throat leading to the stomach, from which a smelly, sticky liquid was flowing.

The giant ant failed to avoid the pursuit of the giant mouth, the upper and lower jaws of the giant mouth were closed, and the giant ant was clamped fiercely, and the green blood splashed everywhere, and the white wolf could clearly hear the wailing of the giant ant here, but no matter how much it barked, it was useless, the mouthparts had begun to chew and move, and the giant mouth kept squirming, and the giant ant disappeared from the white wolf's eyes, and it seemed to have been stirred into pieces.

"This is.... Is there a reason for the giant ants to retreat?" The white wolf gasped, the scene in front of him reminded him of the horror movies he had often seen in the original world.

The giant mouth did not continue to move towards the white wolf, and after devouring the giant ant, it retreated back along the hole that he had drilled, not knowing whether he had not discovered the existence of the white wolf or was simply not interested in the white wolf.

While the giant mouth slowly withdrew, the white wolf was also secretly and carefully observing, and just as it drilled out of the hole, for a moment the giant mouth leaked its whole picture, and the white wolf finally saw what it was.

It turned out to be a huge white worm! The owner of the giant mouth was quite large, and looked like an underground worm magnified a hundredfold.

The giant worm gradually left the underground pit dug by the white wolf and began to move through the dirt, moving in the same direction as the giant ants, and it was clearly out of sight to find its next prey.

The white wolf felt the vibration of the wall, and knew in his heart that the source of this vibration came from the worm, and he didn't know if there was only one such worm.

"Keep going!" The white wolf made up his mind to move on, the giant ants were in trouble, the giant worm had no interest in him, what had just happened seemed terrifying, in fact, he thought calmly, and felt that if he was careful, the exploration could still continue.

Running the earth elemental magic again, restoring the passage that had been destroyed by the worm before, the white wolf ran towards the place where the giant ant appeared before, out of the earth elemental passage, and then into the ant path, and not long after traveling, a wide area appeared in front of him.

In the center of the area was a group of giant ants, their heads facing beyond their camp, and directly opposite them, were three huge white worms, screeching and chewing on the giant ants in their mouths, wriggling around the giant ant colony, as if looking for an opportunity to break into the warband.

In the center of the colony, the white wolf saw a different creature, this creature also looked like a worm, but there was a clear difference from the three worms outside, the three worms outside were larger, the skin was rough and thick, and this worm was obviously very bloated, the fat body was spread on the ground like a lump of flesh, the legs were atrophied, and it had lost the ability to walk on its own, and several giant ants were carrying its body to help it walk.

"Could this be.... The white wolf felt that his guess was already eight or nine ten, only the queen ant could grow like this, and only the queen ant could be so closely protected by the giant ants.

"No wonder those ants are so fierce and afraid of death, it turns out that it exists..."The white wolf recalled the scene when he fought with those giant ants before, and those ants rushed towards the white wolf as if they were ignoring death, at first the white wolf thought that they had a terrifying courage, but now it seems that this "courage" is probably due to the pheromones released by the queen.

And the reason for the retreat of the ant colony is also very clear at this time, the natural enemy of these giant ants worms appeared, and the queen ant felt threatened, so she quickly ordered a retreat, and the burnt smell that she smelled before was probably the alarm pheromone released by the queen ant.

It's just that the current situation is quite unfavorable for this queen, perhaps because she lost too many manpower from the white wolf, which led to her lack of strength, and finally she was surrounded by worms.

At this moment, this ant colony has been surrounded by its own natural enemies, and it seems that the situation is precarious.
