Chapter 151: The Ant Crushed to Death
Xia Zuo slowly walked into the low skull hole, and he kept looking back, hoping that before he disappeared into the hole, Ralph or Andy would take the initiative to stop him and invite him to join the rest of the chat. www.biquge.info It's a pity that Natsuzo didn't hear anything about keeping him, and he could only wait for Andy to return in the narrow passage, believing that this good friend would not leave him because of a failed hunt or the sudden appearance of a ghost wolf.
Andy doesn't really care about Shazo's participation in the ensuing discussion as an observer, and he also thinks that Ralph just wants to know about Deborah, but he doesn't know that the ghost wolf really cares about the dark flower that appeared in the low skull hole and the English Rice Nestling.
Ralph led Andy to the bottom of a large tree, where the morning sun shone through the canopy on the ground. Andy watched the busy ants on the ground on a whim, and he crouched on the ground to observe these creatures from the ground. Ralph said solemnly, "Do you want to know what they're talking about?" Andy shook his head and replied, "No, maybe the ants don't want anyone else to know what they're talking about." ”
Ralph turned, and he sat side by side with Andy to admire the busy work of these "porters". The ghost wolf used its claws to change the path of one of the food-carrying ants, but after a brief wandering, the ant returned to the same path. Ralph smiled and asked, "Do you know what it said about my behavior?"
Andy shook his head helplessly and replied, "I don't know, but you are really strange today, first took away Xia Zuo, who was reluctant to leave, and then talked to me about the ants on the ground." Ralph turned his head and said solemnly, "The ant just said that I had obstructed its work and was very boring, and said that if I continued like this, I would delay the delivery of food to the queen ant, and it would cost her life." ”
Andy frowned and asked in surprise, "Is it true that you are telling the language of ants, is this the legendary language of all things?" Ralph proudly raised his head and replied, "Indeed, when you talk about those English chicks, I feel the need to impart some knowledge to you, which is the language of communication with all things." ”
Andy stood up excitedly and said, "Is it true that you said that I can learn the language of all things?" Harris and Dylan have both mentioned this amazing skill, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to learn it. Ralph gestured with his front paws out, trying to make Andy understand something, but the body language didn't seem to make Andy understand what it was trying to say.
Ralph simply said, "You've stepped on an ant." Hearing this, Andy quickly took a step back, and the ant that he was crushing under the soles of his feet quickly crawled away. He looked at the ants that disappeared into the bushes and smiled, "It must be complaining about my momentary mistake." Ralph smiled and said, "On the contrary, it is thanking you for your acts of mercy." ”
Andy lowered his head and looked at the ground, lest he accidentally trample on these "underground elves". Ralph sighed and said, "If I were as cautious as you are, wouldn't I starve to death, do you know what the wails of those goats I hunted before they die?" Andy pouted and said, "Don't say it, it's too cold-blooded." Ralph heard Andy's evaluation and said angrily: "Do you know the laws of nature?" Andy shook his head and denied, he was not deliberately modest, in fact, he really didn't understand the laws of nature, he grew so big, he had almost no chance to contact the real nature.
Ralph stomped his claws to the ground, then presented a trampled ant to Andy. The Auston teenager, intoxicated by the fantasy of "The Language of Everything", did not understand why the ghost wolf did this, and a little life ended like this, and he angrily asked, "What are you doing here?" Ralph did not speak, it raised its paws again and prepared to trample on the ants. This time, Andy actually lay directly on the ground to stop the ghost wolf's behavior.
Ralph smiled and asked, "Do you think it's wise to do this?" Andy pouted and said angrily, "At least better than you, I don't understand what they say, but you do." What do you want to prove in this way?" Ralph put down his paw and said sincerely, "You can get up now." Andy sat up slowly, he looked back at the distorted corpses of the ants under him and said puzzledly, "How can this be?" he pulled the mage's robes over, and there were still a few immobile ants on the metal accessories sewn on his back.
Ralph looked at Andy, who fell silent, and said, "I know you have a good heart, but you need to understand that nature can't change her laws because of your kindness. All beings are equal before all things. The principle of the law of the jungle underpins a delicate balance. As I hunted goats for hunger, I prayed that the ancient gods would forgive me, and that those who had fallen in pools of blood would return to the bosom of nature, even if it was a mane or a grain of meat. ”
Andy didn't speak, he was savoring Ralph's lecture just now, in fact, he had just wanted to save the ants from being crushed by the ghost wolf's wide claws, but the busy guys were crushed into "meatloaf" by the accessories on their clothes. In desperation, Andy looked at Ralph and asked, "Isn't there a better way to solve the problem just now?"
Ralph shook his head and said, "Maybe there is, but I don't know. I will spend a few days teaching you how to communicate with nature and all things. As for where you use those skills, that's your business. I do this for a simple reason. The Storm Prophet must have a superior ability, especially if you have lost all your mana. ”
Andy finally understands what the ghost wolf has just done, which is completely different from the way of survival that Dr. Bunier, known as the "ghost hand", said, but Andy always feels that Ralph's preaching is more explicit than Jarvis's, and it is not easy to accept.
Ralph was silent for a moment before he said, "When you were captured by the Eagle, I could have continued to live in the Deadwood Forest with Elton, after all, we don't need food as ghosts, but for some reason, my heart began to have a new luxury in blood. Andy looked at Ralph's glowing eyes and said, "Is it because you're with me?" There is a ghost hidden in the Ancient Library in the Abyss, his name is Clarence, and he is also an immortal soul who has taken the blue ghost. When I dripped my own blood on his body, he miraculously took physical form. Harris also did not give a very reasonable explanation for this matter. ”
Ralph shook his head in denial, but then he told the whole story of his absorption of the Dark Flower energy in the Wolf's Howling Heights graveyard. Andy was puzzled by Ralph's description and asked, "The pool of decay you said is hidden in the catacombs, so I destroyed the dark flowers with my own hands after being demonized, right?" Ralph nodded and replied, "That's true." ”
