Chapter 512: Spoils of War

Obviously, the situation that Ning Ze was worried about did not happen, and the ancient ant scorpion took him into the cave slowly, and there were no problems on the way.

The faint light of the torch made Ning Ze barely see the structure of the cave clearly, and the further he went, the darker it became, and the surrounding area was covered with moss, and a damp breath filled it. There were cobwebs everywhere, and there were quite a few small insects crawling around that I couldn't name.

Ning Ze was not afraid, but raised the torch to observe the reptiles above his head to see if he recognized them. At the same time, prevent these bugs from suddenly falling on their heads.

The ancient ant scorpion took Ning Ze all the way to the depths of the cave, and finally stopped.

Ning Ze was frightened by the amazing picture inside by the light of the torch.

It turned out that in the depths of the cave, the three walls were densely packed with ancient ants and scorpions, as well as countless huge insect eggs.

Seeing the moment, he subconsciously wanted to let the ancient ant scorpion take him to escape.

It was soon discovered that something was wrong, because the ancient ant scorpions and huge insect eggs in the cave were all wrapped in a layer of brown substance, like a thick layer of wax on the outside, even if Ning Ze appeared, there was no reaction.

Leaning the torch over, Ning Ze found that this was the case everywhere in the cave, and there were also partially melted "wax" and broken eggs.

Most strikingly, there were also carcasses that looked like small dinosaurs and other giant insects.

"Resin? right...... Amber!!" Ning Ze was dumbfounded.

But this amber is too exaggerated, too big, isn't it? It's almost enveloping the entire nest of ancient ant scorpions, making it an unimaginable fossil.

This super giant "amber" has several melted holes, it may be a worm bite, or it may be other reasons, seeing those giant insect eggs in the "melting place" breaking through the shell, Ning Ze suddenly reacted, and the question that he had been unable to understand before had an answer!

Villagers once said that "monsters" appeared hundreds of years ago, and then suddenly appeared until now.

The ancient ant scorpion that surrendered on its own did not seem to be very old, and did not live for hundreds of years. Because of this, it is suspected that there are other ancient ant scorpions.

Based on what I saw, it was indeed not the same as the ancient ant scorpion hundreds of years ago. Not long after the surrender broke its shell, it should have been another one or several ancient ant scorpions hundreds of years ago, and for some reason it disappeared, maybe it died of old age? After a few hundred years, its corpse may have been eaten by other insects, or even by this ancient ant scorpion.

It stands to reason that after being trapped in amber for an unknown amount of time, these ancient ant scorpions and their eggs would have died long ago. But if there are those who have come back to life, could it be that the ancient ant scorpion has a unique ability to resurrect even if it has been sealed for thousands of years?

Otherwise, how can we explain the ancient ant scorpions that appeared hundreds of years ago and are still appearing now?

Ning Ze decided to verify his idea, anyway, these ancient ant scorpions were all in amber and had no threat to him.

I found an ancient ant scorpion that was trapped in amber, looking the most complete and alive, illuminated with a torch in his left hand, and took out the sharpest sword from the famous carrying bar with his right hand, and carefully knocked on the head of this ancient ant scorpion.

Amber is fragile, and the head of this ancient ant scorpion is easily knocked open, allowing it to reach its body.

Ning Ze cautiously touched the tip of his sword and found that although this ancient ant scorpion was intact, it was already dead.

It stands to reason that amber of this magnitude is quite precious.

However, Ning Ze needed to confirm the life and death of these ancient ant scorpions, after all, they were extremely dangerous. So carefully pry open piece after piece, each time a small part, just to confirm if there are other surviving ancient ant scorpions.

However, looking at it all, these are just the corpses of ancient ant scorpions, and there is no sign of coming back to life at all.

Then there is only one possibility, the ancient ant scorpions that appeared hundreds of years ago, and are now subdued by themselves, hatched from insect eggs.

The eggs wrapped in amber accidentally "melted" out, and they were successfully hatched alive before they could be brought to fruition.

So Ning Ze investigated the amber-wrapped eggs in the cave again, looking for whether there was still life and which kind of eggs could hatch.

To his disappointment, all the eggs were found dead and no one could be found.

In other words, the last remaining live eggs hatched hundreds of years ago, then raged for a while and then died of old age. The only surviving one, presumably alive until now, for some reason melted out of the amber and successfully hatched the last one, which was surrendered by itself in battle.

Unable to find more live ancient ant scorpions and giant insect eggs, Ning Ze was quite disappointed. The idea of forming an ancient antcorpion army was shattered in an instant.

However, the ancient ant scorpion and insect eggs in the cave **, even if they die, are a huge fortune, and may even become materials for the study of ancient creatures in the future.

Or build a museum and open it to the public, so that the people can see the "monsters" they have "surrendered", and further consolidate their image and status in the minds of the people.

Speaking of which, it is not without gains.

In addition, there are so many folklore, there are countless records describing various "gods" and "monsters", and you can find iron-backed crocodiles, strange-winged moa, and ancient ant scorpions, and maybe more ancient creatures exist in the form of legends.

When he returned to Huajun this time, he wanted Liu Yuanxiang to release the emperor list, collect relevant information nationwide, and take advantage of the time when the other three forces were too busy to take care of themselves, find more ancient creatures and capture and tame them to become their pets.

When the time comes, take this army of ancient creatures and make the enemy forces think that they have subdued the gods and monsters, and drive them to fight. How dare ordinary people fight against mythical beings? When the time comes, they will definitely push to the enemy's headquarters in one go, and it will be easy to unify the world!

Even if there is a shortage of talents, once the sixteen states are unified in a short time, the surrender of the enemy generals alone will be enough.

The world is unified, and although most people are not satisfied with Liu Yuanxiang ruling the world as an empress, the situation will make them have to surrender. Even if a small number of diehards continue to resist, they will not be able to make a wave.

The first step was to bring back these ancient ant scorpions and giant insect eggs to build a huge "museum" dedicated to the "trophies" of this type. In the future, there will be such an existence, and it will be included in the income.

The more it is included, the more the people, their own officials, and enemy forces will be more afraid of their "mana" and completely defeat it psychologically!

Once everyone in the world feels that they can't stop their "mana", there will be fewer and fewer rebels.

It is necessary to make a big deal of publicity, and even order people to deliberately spread the news to attract the envoys of the enemy forces or to make a ......

Ning Ze thought of the effect of these amber-wrapped ancient creatures in a short period of time, but it was quite difficult to take them all out.

Although there is a system in the body, these corpses and dead insect eggs cannot be subdued, and naturally cannot be included in the famous product carrying column.

I had to go back and call people and transport them out one by one.

For the sake of safety, Ning Ze once again investigated and confirmed that there were no other living ancient ant scorpions and insect eggs in the cave, so he manipulated his ancient ant scorpion to come outside and quickly returned to the vicinity of the cordon.

Ning Ze rode the ancient ant scorpion deep into the hinterland, and Liu Yuanxiang and the others, who couldn't see clearly from the balloon, were very anxious and worried. The further you go inside, the more trees grow, covering most of the area.

So it wasn't until Ning Ze left the area and reappeared in sight that the wives and concubines put their minds at ease and hurriedly ordered someone to lower the hot air balloon.

Seeing that Ning Ze had returned safely, the accompanying Praetorian Guards, local officials, and people were finally relieved, but they didn't dare to cross the cordon at will, so they waited honestly in place.

Ning Ze returned to the vicinity of the cordon, and his wife and concubine immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

The others also looked at him nervously, wondering what happened to Ning Ze inside, and if there were more such terrifying "monsters".

Ning Ze first reassured them, and said directly: "Lone went all the way to the lair and found that there were countless 'monsters' inside, which is quite amazing! So cast a spell to eradicate them all! In the future, there will be no more monsters here to harm people, everyone can rest assured!"

Hearing this, the officials and people on the scene, who were originally nervous, instantly erupted in deafening cheers, and then fell to their knees in unison, shouting "The king's mana is all over the sky!!"

No one doubted Ning Ze's words, questioning Ning Ze's previous situation of subduing this ancient ant scorpion, which was also interpreted by everyone as his disdain to use spells in the face of a monster, and he directly tamed it with his fists and feet. I found that there were more monsters to use spells, and when I came back, I was unharmed, and this kind of strength is not mana?

Everyone's worship of Ning Ze rose in a straight line, and even more than half of the people's loyalty to Huaguo on the spot instantly reached the full value of diehard, and the other part also reached more than ninety in an instant from the original sixty or seventy points or even lower, which is very close to the full value.

"My lord, in the future, you can walk freely in the nearby mountains, forests, rivers, and canyons, and you don't have to worry about new monsters appearing?" the local elder stepped forward and asked.

Ning Ze nodded affirmatively: "The monsters have been completely eradicated, and Gu has also inspected the surroundings to make sure that there is no problem!" But you still need to be careful of snakes, insects, rats and ants when going up the mountain, including some fierce beasts." By the way, Lone has one thing to invite the elders to help!"

"The king commands!"

"I want you to gather the people of the whole township, mobilize any available vehicles in the township, and gather here immediately!" Ning Ze said, "In order to prevent the resurrection of the dead demons in the lair and harm people, we must bring them back to Huajun and set up a magic circle to seal them!

In order to create an image, he directly lied. With the current prestige and situation, no one will doubt it.

Sure enough, the village elder replied respectfully: "The king is here to eliminate demons for the villagers, and we should have obeyed the dispatch." Please wait a moment, the old man will gather people immediately!"

The elder sent a few young men with fast feet to report the news, and sure enough, the whole village rushed over, and all the wheelbarrows, two-wheeled carts, wooden carts, horse-drawn carriages, and donkeys were all sent over anyway, and they lined up in a long line.

During this period, Ning Ze brought the villagers to the nest and asked them to cooperate with the Praetorian Guards to carry the ancient ant scorpion corpses and giant insect eggs first.

Witnessing the scene in the cave, everyone was shocked.

The villagers who arrived later soon joined the team, and in shock and worship for Ning Ze, they continued to transport his loot.
