Chapter 42: Purple Gold Worm Eggs
At the top of the hill was a huge purple-gold giant ant wriggling, frantically devouring the food beneath it.
If it weren't for the constant supply of food from all directions, I am afraid that this mountain of food would be eaten in less than a minute!
And this ant, it is not even accurate to describe it with the word huge.
It can be described as terrifying, if an ordinary ant is only the size of a fist, then this ant is almost half a human height!
All the ants came to feed it at the same time, and I had already guessed the identity of this ant.
Queen.
The supreme leader of this group of golden ants.
And it didn't seem to care about my coming.
To be honest, I don't want to be noticed by it, because queens are usually very aggressive.
If it notices, I'll probably be attacked by the horde.
There are so many ants that it's hard for me to escape.
It's just that I'm curious, in this hall, what is the treasure that Senior Sister cares about?
Is it about the treasure of the golden ant, or about the temple itself?
To be on the safe side, I'd better see if there are any treasures here, and as for the idea of the Golden Queen, I can't fight it yet.
I'll talk about it when my sister arrives.
I slowly stepped back and walked to the wall, taking a closer look at the palace.
I looked at the mural on the wall, looked closely at the text on it, and was finally surprised to find out.
This is actually the tomb of the Western Xia king!
The ancient kingdom that has been breeding here for two hundred years, the burial ground of kings!
Although the text on the mural is recorded in this way, I wonder if there should be nine pyramid-like buildings on the tomb of the Western Xia king, but there is clearly a canyon outside.
I didn't delve into this issue, after all, more than 2,000 years have passed, and no matter how glorious the history is, it will disappear in the long river of history.
It's just that I didn't expect that in such a place, it would become the place where the insects spread today.
But after watching it for a while, I lost interest in continuing to explore the palace.
This whole palace, as I said before, is in all directions, but there are so many bugs here.
And, we're certainly not the first to be here.
It is estimated that this place has been searched by those tomb robbers for a long time, and even if there are really any treasures, it will not be my turn.
In addition to the murals on the walls.
However, it only records the prosperity of the civilization of Western Xia.
Nothing else.
I sighed, it seems, what I want to get in this palace can be said to be delusional.
All I have to do is focus on the Golden Queen.
I just don't know what treasures are worth digging into this kind of ant.
Senior sister is not around, but with her strength, I don't have to worry about her at all.
It's more realistic to worry about yourself now.
For the next half hour, I went around the entire hall.
But to my disappointment, I didn't get anything.
Eventually, I focused on the queen.
This guy has been sleeping since ten minutes ago, and behind it, there is a huge cave.
The cave is not the palace itself, but was acquired.
The soil outside the burrow is turned out, and the diameter of the hole is exactly the size of the queen, and apparently, this is what it dug out.
I was immediately curious, maybe there was something I wanted here.
Thinking of this, I turned to look at the queen ant, and found that it was still sleeping, and did not notice me in the slightest, and I was secretly happy in my heart, and quickly slipped into the hole.
When I got into the hole, I realized that it was a lot bigger than I had imagined.
And there's a very strange smell in the air.
It was so empty that I could walk upright in it.
And here, there are a lot of eggs.
Some look like they're about to hatch, while others don't move.
And it varies in size.
But as I went deeper into the cavern, I was immediately attracted to a strange egg.
Although the egg was hidden in the most inconspicuous place, it was so weird to look at.
Not only is it purple-gold, but this egg is also one-third larger than the other eggs.
There is also a golden glow on the eggshell.
It's remarkable at first sight.
It seems that this should be the eggs of the queen ant.
Maybe this is the treasure that Senior Sister is looking for!
I pushed aside the other eggs and slowly held them in my arms.
It is very heavy to start, at least about ten catties.
I wrapped it in my clothes and turned to walk out of the cave.
When I crawled out of the burrow, the queen ant was still asleep.
I'm relieved.
It must get out of here before it wakes up, or it's over.
I squirmed a little along the way to the colony, and finally crawled to the hole where I had reached in a few minutes.
It seems that I can only return the same way from here, and if my sister can't find me, she will definitely go back first.
The main thing is that I don't see any other exits here, and I don't have any tricks except to go back the way I came.
I looked at the hole above and jumped up!
"Smack!"
I put my hands on the edge of the hole, looked down at the flashlight that I had accidentally dropped on the ground, and chuckled in my heart.
The next moment, I turned my head to look at the queen.
I found that it was looking at me directly......
No, staring at the egg in my hand, to be exact.
I secretly said that it was not good, and quickly climbed up.
And just then, I heard the queen's angry scream!
In an instant, all the golden ants below were agitated at the same time!
