Chapter 120: The Anthill
It was very dark inside the passage, fortunately Chu Xiu was a cat, and he could barely see the road in front of him, and walked down step by step along this passage, the passage at the bottom was very narrow, even a liquid animal like Chu Xiu had to crawl down and move forward slowly.
I don't know how long I walked, a light suddenly appeared in front of me, Chu Xiu fixed his eyes, and those lights were actually emitted by a kind of stone underground.
The further he went, the more red, glowing stones there became, and Chu Xiu could smell the unpleasant smell that belonged to the ants, and he also saw quite a few ants crawling around on the ground.
The eyes suddenly opened up, and it turned out, as Zhai Feiyu said, this underground seemed to have become a large labyrinth.
Countless ants come and go, busy with them, and perform their own duties.
It looks like it's already in the ant hole.
There was a line of ants coming towards it in front, and Chu Xiu hurriedly dug a hole in front of it and hid in it.
The line of ants ignored it and crawled past its eyes.
After they left, Chu Xiu gently jumped down from the cave and continued to walk forward.
Maybe it's because they were caught a lot by the people in the base before, this group of ants is a little injured, but it's far from being a big injury, there are still a lot of ants in it.
The further he went, the more dense the various passages became, extending in all directions, Chu Xiu was worried that he was going to get lost, so he chose the largest and widest passage, and continued to move forward, wanting to find out if he could find the queen ant.
If you can find the queen, it would be great, if you can catch the queen, then wouldn't it be able to provide it with a steady stream of gold coins in the future?
In these days, krypton gold is needed for everything you do, especially in these difficult last days.
Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward step by step with a rag.
There were more and more ants patrolling around, and there were red glowing stones everywhere, Chu Xiu was doubting the origin of this red stone, and suddenly, it saw an ant pause, and a red stone like a gem fell from under it.
"Damn, it turns out that this stone is the dung of these ants?"
However, it had only heard of bats producing luminous sand before, but did it not know that the droppings of this kind of ants could also be so magical?
However, now that it's the end of the world, what's so strange about ants being able to produce this red, glowing stone?
It was curious if this stone could be sold for money.
If it can be sold for money, then it will inevitably call Cheng Xu and them over to be a real shovel officer.
Walking over, with a thought, it took a few pieces of Ye Minghong in its storage bell, and showed it to the people at the base when it went up, so as to teach them that they had already been to this ant nest.
As for the name of this night bright red, it was given by it, anyway, in this last days, there are so many new species that everyone doesn't know, new things have emerged, and the first thing it sees has the right to name it.
After thinking about it, it turned on the system camera again, took a photo and posted it in the group, and let everyone take a look.
"Meow, where have you been?" As soon as it posted a message in the group, Cheng Xu and the others quickly became active.
"Ahem, in our dinner group, there is no meow, only your great group leader." Chu Xiu said in the group.
Si Cai: "What are you filming this?" How can there be so many red gemstones? ”
The Great Leader: "How's it going?" If you like, I'll send you a bunch? ”
Chef: "You will be so generous?" ”
The Great Group Leader: "It's just some ant droppings, and if you want, I'll give you a bunch." ”
Si Zao: "What, this is ant droppings?" ”
The great group leader: "Don't spread the word, I'll send this thing to you to know, you can understand it." ”
After all, no matter how much the people in the group were puzzled, it ignored it and only focused on finding the queen.
This ant's nest is really big, extending in all directions, Chu Xiu has turned around many places, and the ants have seen a lot, but it has never seen the trace of the queen ant.
It even found a place where the big ants stored food, and they stored a wide variety of food, including all kinds of insects, some mutated animals, and even some dead zombie bodies, and of course, human corpses.
These ants seem to have special food preservation skills, these foods are piled together tightly, and they are not afraid of spoiling, but maybe they are broken, they don't care, anyway, Chu Xiu smelled a disgusting smell, so he hurriedly jumped elsewhere.
At the door of this storeroom, there are still a lot of ants still working hard, there is a large group of ants carrying a big bug in, this soft bug looks extremely disgusting, but these ants obviously don't care, in their eyes, these are food, where there will be beauty and ugliness.
Chu Xiu didn't want to stay here anymore, so he had to go somewhere else.
I don't know how long it has been in this ant maze, it has been bored to pick up a lot of luminous red, but there is no trace of the ant queen, it seems that the place is particularly well protected by them.
"Ah, what a genius I'm in!"
Thinking of the words "well-protected", Chu Xiu knew how to find the queen, it had always been careful to avoid these ants before, but obviously, the more places there were, the more likely it was to find the queen.
So, with so many ants, how could it possibly find the queen?
But if you want it to go into the ant pile like this, it won't, and it's not an ant now.
Hey, there you have it!
Chu Xiu really admired himself so much, thinking that these ants recognized each other mainly by touch, not by eyes, Chu Xiu found an opportunity to kill a lone ant, and then hollowed out the ant's stomach and got into it himself.
It seems a little weird to have a few small feet coming out of the ant's belly, but these ants shouldn't care, right?
Chu Xiu's head also came out from the top of its belly, and then it planned to disguise itself as an ant and blend into the ant colony.
There was a group of ants crawling in front of them, closer, closer, Chu Xiu dodged and followed them, successfully blending into the ant colony.
After following this group of ants for a long time, Chu Xiu found that there seemed to be more and more ants in front of him, and his heart became more and more excited.
After changing a line, Chu Xiu continued to walk towards a place with many ants, and found that they had a tendency to go astray, so he continued to change, so he changed several teams, Chu Xiu heard the sound of "da-da-da", as if the queen ant was shaking her tail and mating with the male ants.
When it got closer, it heard the sound of the male ant flapping its wings and flying, and its heart was pounding.
The ground was almost all red and luminous red, layer by layer, dense, emitting a red light, which reflected on its furry feet, which made Chu Xiu a little panicked.
Their eyes can't see, they can't see.
Chu Xiu thought silently like this, and went all the way forward.
It turned another corner, and suddenly, it was bright in front of it.
