Chapter Forty-Nine: The Queen Ant and the Killing of Gods
"The presence of honeypot ants is important to the population, especially when the Poseidon disaster is approaching, and only they can brew ordinary nectar and other substances into sweet ant honey like a bee tribe, even if it comes at the cost of hanging on the rock wall for the rest of their lives."
"When the wisdom is not awakened, this is not a trivial matter, but for them now, it has undoubtedly become a cruel torture, but it is a necessary sacrifice, the amount of honey stored in the cave here can fully supply the food needs of all the ant tribes for a whole week, which is the guarantee of the smooth survival of the race."
In the cave, Xing Xiao looked up at the sea of stars above, and faintly told the reason and meaning of the existence of these honeypot ants.
After that, it turned its head to look at Xu Yue beside him, and continued:
"Your Excellency, would you like to try your hand at my honey-making skills? Compared with the spiritual enhancement of bee honey, the ant honey produced by our tribe focuses more on the improvement of the body, although the amplitude is relatively small. ”
"Then it's disrespectful."
Faced with the invitation of the torture horr, Xu Yue had no reason to refuse, and he himself was quite curious about the difference between the two kinds of honey.
"Okay, please come with me."
As he spoke, the membranous wings behind the torturer flapped, and in the 'buzzing' sound, it took off quickly, and the purple flame feather behind Xu Yue also spread out with it, and it followed the other party's figure quite easily.
A man and an ant rose from the ground and soon flew to the dome of the cavern, where they rested on the side of a honeypot ant with an amber belly.
As the torturer pressed the honeypot ant's belly water balloon slightly, the opponent's somewhat sluggish head slowly deflected, and then a fist-sized water ball spat out of its mouth, which was caught by the torturer steadily.
The surface of the water sphere obviously has a thin layer of gel on the surface, making it look like a frozen Q bomb, and there is no sign of breaking in the hands of the torturer.
After sweeping the amber ant honey in the water balloon and making sure that its quality was still good, Xing Xiao handed it to Xu Yue beside him.
"Your Excellency, this is the ant honey of our clan, bite through the outer membrane when drinking, and suck its juice."
"Thank you!"
Briefly expressing his gratitude, Xu Yue took the water balloon and looked at it carefully, compared to the golden honey he drank not long ago, the color of the two is somewhat similar, but the honey is obviously much thicker, and the ant honey not only has a higher moisture content, but also contains a faint blood color inside.

……………
Although it is also a honey food, the focus of ant honey and honey is obviously different, one focuses on spiritual energy, and the other is biased towards the body, which is also consistent with the characteristics of the two races, but for Xu Yue, the value of both is high and complements each other.
Bring the water balloon in your hand to your mouth and bite open the outer membrane with your teeth, and the sweet slurry immediately pours into your mouth, and in addition to the sweetness, there is also a subtle hint of sweetness inside.
Although the sweetness is obviously not as good as that of honey, the overall taste is slightly better, and as the pulp takes effect, the whole body feels an indescribable comfort, and the stomach is also visibly full.
As Torturer said, this thing is a good food to eat, not only a recovery product, but also a good food, not to mention a permanent increase in health.
"The taste and effect are impeccable."
In the face of the praise of its human allies, the torturer acted usefully, with a distinct smile in his eyes, and his forehead trembled its antennae, and it flapped its membranous wings and fell downward.
"Let's go, Your Excellency, and now it's the last stop, the Ecological Plantation."
……………
After leaving the cave full of honeypot ants, it didn't take long for them to reach the bottom of the nest, where the ant tribe's ecological plantation is located.
It was a huge space formed by more than ten large chambers interconnected, and the top of the space was covered with many huge mushrooms, different from the smaller fluorescent mushrooms, these huge mushrooms emitted a brilliant golden light similar to the sun, illuminating the entire space as if it were day.
The light passed through the glass cover used to block the ecological park on the periphery and poured on Xu Yue, making him feel a faint sense of warmth, as if he was being illuminated by real sunlight.
On his side, Xing Xiao played his role as a guide very well, and was explaining various matters about the ecological park to Xu Yue.
"This is an advanced version of the sun mushroom, the fluorescent mushroom, different from the cold light source of the fluorescent mushroom, it can simulate a warm light source rich in ultraviolet rays, which can meet the growth needs of some special fungi, but due to the harsh cultivation conditions, the number is small, so it is only used on a small scale in the ecological park."
"At present, our ecological plantation is only one of dozens of large park nurseries, due to the unique sterility requirements of fungal cultivation, so only some special small worker ants can enter and exit freely in the ecological garden, we will be quite troublesome to observe inside, and the condescending perspective here is clearer........."
Following the direction pointed by the torturer, Xu Yue lowered his eyes and saw that inside the glass window was a flooded red fungus field, during which there were a large number of small worker ants of about one meter in the fungus field.
"Speaking of which, a large part of the fungal cultivation technology of the ant clan comes from human civilization in the middle of the First Century, which provides a very valuable knowledge accumulation for our technological development."
"This mushroom field is cultivated with an extremely nutritious meat mushroom, only a small one, can meet the feeding needs of an adult soldier ant, and it is also the mushroom we have cultivated the most, in addition, there are black beetle mushrooms that can enhance the defense of the carapace, ghost mushrooms that increase the strength of ant venom, and ...... that convert oxygen."
"And most of these special mushrooms have eliminated the influence of the Seagod's divine power, you can also eat with confidence, any mushrooms you are interested in, you can open your mouth at will, and a small amount of gift is within my power."
"Thank you very much!"
Xu Yue did not refuse the kindness of the torture, he really needed these special mushrooms, especially this kind of meat mushrooms to fill his stomach, he was already tired of eating bird eggs these days.
"It's just a trivial matter, Your Excellency, go ahead, I'll take you to the next ecological park."
…………
In the next two hours, Xu Yue visited dozens of ecological plantations of different styles under the leadership of Xing Xiao, and harvested a large bag of various mushrooms, most of the quality of these mushrooms is between green ~ purple, the effect is different, the only feature is that they are not notarized products.
If you want to bring out of this world, you can, but only if you pay a large notary fee to the park first.
After visiting most of the ecological park, they returned to the middle level of the nest, found a small chamber in the human style, set up their allies, and let them rest for a while, and then hurried away.
And Xu Yue also obeyed the arrangement and happily stayed, wanting to meet the leader of the clan, this process was destined not to be too fast, and he was mentally prepared.
In the chamber, although it is small, but for Xu Yue, the space is also spacious enough, the center of the room is a stone seat, there is a stone bed covered with soft grass mats on the side, with fluorescent mushrooms covered with domes, the room as a whole looks quite comfortable, and it can be seen that the ant clan has really put a lot of effort into treating him as an alien ally.
At first glance, the room was clearly excavated, and the furniture that just matched his size was not like the original style of the ant clan.
Placing the large bag of mushrooms in his hand on the stone table, Xu Yue sat down on one side, he first took out a few meat mushrooms from the package, and then teleported them to Ah Fu, who was still capturing puppets in the dense forest, through the magic mirror, these were enough to meet his food needs for the next few days.
After doing all this, he walked straight to the stone bed and sat cross-legged, all the memories of today began to reappear in his mind one by one, for the problem of 'Poseidon hostility', he did not have much hope in the ant clan queen ant, if the other party really has a way, it will not be powerless in the face of four consecutive Poseidon disasters.
Although the ant tribe he saw today seemed to be prosperous, whether it was a huge nest deep underground, a colony of honeypot ants hanging in caves, or a large number of ecological plantations covering a vast area, and special mushroom species that could provide sunlight and oxygen.
All of the above indicates the fact that the ant tribe cannot resist the sea god, and they are even ready to live underground for a long time after the surface of the earth is completely submerged by the ocean.
But after all, this is just a lingering breath, as long as it is out of the surface, even if the ant clan can rely on these special mushroom species to persist in the ground for ten or a hundred years, it will not be able to escape an end of extinction in the end.
And this is a point that he can take advantage of, if he can use this to gain the support of the entire ant clan, through some planning, it is not impossible for him to fight to the death with this sea god.
In any case, the other party is now just a living form that has fallen into a sleeping state, and the enemy is bright and dark, and he is more inclined to kill the other party first than passively waiting for the pursuit of the Poseidon Calamity.
As long as Paradise is not marked as invincible, it means that he has the possibility of killing the so-called sea god.
During the contemplation, the thick evil aura began to unconsciously spread outward, turning the entire room into a cold cold.
I don't know how long later, a knock on the door echoed in the quiet room, Xu Yue's closed eyes opened, and the biting chill around him dissipated in an instant.
The stone door of the room was opened, and as Xu Yue expected, it was the torturer who came.
"Lord Flame, the queen ant is invited!"
"Okay."
Without saying much, Xu Yue answered, and walked out of the room directly, following behind the torturer and walking towards the depths of the ant nest.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the torturer stopped in front of a huge stone gate that was ten meters high, and there were a large number of reliefs carved on the stone door, which seemed to tell the history of the ant family, and there were many giant ant guards standing on both sides.
"Your Excellency, the Queen ant is in the hall, please!"
As the words fell, the huge stone gate in front of him was immediately slowly pulled open by the guards, and the huge movement generated when it was opened made Xu Yue's eyes jump, judging from the weight of this stone gate alone, the strength attributes of these guards were by no means weaker than him.
As the stone door opened, a warm golden light suddenly poured out, it seemed that the hall here was also using the sun mushroom as a light source, and glanced at the side behind him, without the slightest intention to continue to step forward.
The stone door at the back closed again, and Xu Yue also stepped into the depths of the hall, the area of the whole hall is not too exaggerated, but its decoration is extraordinarily simple and elegant, the ground is flat and atmospheric square bricks, and the surrounding area is covered with exquisite relief murals and white marble columns, its style is somewhat similar to the dilapidated temple that served as a transit place after entering the world.
Standing in the center of the hall, as the field of vision moved up, in front of Xu Yue was an elegant throne made of obsidian, the throne was carrying a thrillingly beautiful existence, she was lying on the cushion of the throne, her slender waist was covered by black silk veil, but through the tiny gap, Xu Yue still saw a huge white greasy that was constantly surging behind her.
Even if only the upper half of the body is exposed, the size of this half of the body alone is close to about four meters, it is an out-and-out behemoth, and although the size of this existence is huge, every inch of this existence is like a white jade carving, extremely charming, in stark contrast to the obsidian throne.
There is no doubt that this is the queen of the ant clan, her overall form is very close to that of a human, the only thing that can prove her identity as an ant clan is the white jade insect beetle on her body, and the slender antennae on her forehead, and the rest of the body is the same as a graceful human woman.
"Terran, meet the queen ant!"
Other attributes are not guaranteed, but the charm attribute of this queen ant is definitely above 50 points, even with Xu Yue's will, after seeing her true face, she was uncontrollably stunned for a moment before she quickly regained consciousness.
Ignoring all the distractions that poured out of his heart, Xu Yue bowed to the queen ant with the usual etiquette of the Dragon Valley world.
On the throne, after the queen ant's warm eyes swirled on Xu Yue below, he chuckled:
"No need to be polite, since the First Age, the relationship between our ant clan and the human race has been harmonious for generations, not to mention that Your Excellency is still an ally who has just helped our clan achieve a great victory, just feel free."
After the queen raised her hand lightly and motioned for Xu Yue to get up, she glanced sideways at Xuan Jun, who had been standing beside the throne, and continued:
"Your Excellency, I have also heard Xuan Jun talk about your situation, but now it seems that this is far from such a simple matter of attention, such a rich blood light, even in my inheritance memory, it was only in the Second Age, that group of ancestors who openly rebelled against the gods."
"This is not the attention of the sea god, but the naked hostility of the sea god, this level of divine power mark, even if it is just trying to cover up, with my spiritual power, it is not enough, I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Excellency."
Quietly listening to the words of the ant queen, even if the other party said that his strength was not enough, Xu Yue's face was still flat, he had expected this, after some thoughts in the rest room before, his goal was not so simple to cover up.
"It's okay, Your Queen, the purpose of my trip is not to ask you for help in covering up, but to discuss with you a more important cooperation, one that is so important that it concerns all the creatures of the mysterious island."
"Oh, you might as well speak up."
Looking up at the white jade ant on the throne, looking at each other, Xu Yue said lightly:
"Discuss how... Kill the gods! ”
The word god-killing in a firm tone continued to echo in the hall, but it didn't seem to make any waves.
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, and the warm smile on her face did not change.
"Oh, god-killer..."
Repeating Xu Yue's purpose meaningfully, the queen ant carefully looked at the human ally below.
"The boiling murderous intent, the rebelliousness, the arrogance that defies everything, the never-ending desire, and the recklessness that always does not know the fear, even if the world is different, some of your human qualities are really consistent."
"Your Excellency, you may not know what kind of power the sea god has, but I can tell you for sure that your strength and I are too small, like a great sun firefly in front of the gods, and we have no power to resist."
"We resisted in the Second Age, so there were only three tribes left in the ten thousand races, and I'm curious where you got the confidence to rival the sea god now?"
