The Infinite Journey of the Taidao Party

Ye Zhe's insect guide lamp is used to remember the smell of dried meat, and Jiabao's insect guide lamp is used to track other traces.

"It's up to you to carry the ant(?Д?)ノ!"

As soon as he came out of the survey team's camp in the Badlands of Dayizuka, Garbo caught a porter ant and let the guide remember its smell.

"Why are you still carrying ants? These things are everywhere here, right?"

"Hmph... I've thought about it, Ye Zhe, think about it (?ω?)?"

Looking at Jiabao's showing off, Ye Zhe always felt that the BGM that elementary school student Conan often played during the secret revealing stage was echoing in his mind.

Let's just listen to what she came up with, after all, it's quite rare for Jiabao to think about it.

"The characteristic of the prisoner is that his actions are stealthy and silent, even the hunters who watch the night are not aware of it, but he didn't leave any traces, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"I saw the porter ant raised in the room this morning and thought of it! The culprit is not one but a group. A large number of porter ants slipped into the camp and stole the dried meat, and then broke them into pieces. One porter ant took it A piece of jerky and then sneak away (?Д?)ノ! Because the porter ants make no sound when they walk, and there is a smell of porter ants in the original camp, even if the guide insects marked it, everyone would not care too much.”

This this……

It's over, I actually think Garbo's analysis is reasonable?

"But pry open the box?"

"If you can make an anthill that big, it won't be difficult for them to pry open the box, right?"

Although I feel that being able to make such a big anthill has nothing to do with being able to pry open the box, Garbo's inexplicable logic seems to be saying, "The IT engineer is - so powerful, playing e-sports." Little things can't bother him' the same.

But there's no point in rebuttal here.

Garbo spoke the conclusion with the momentum of "there is only one truth".

"This time it's not a theft by a large monster, but a military operation by the Carrier Ant Family to rob the Star Stronghold!"

Hmm... I think the commander-in-chief might like your definition.

Did you recruit ants because too much food was piled up in the circulation area... Although the transporter ants mainly live in the wasteland of the large anthills, but because the ancient tree forest has more food, they often live in the ancient tree forest and the large anthill Foraging on the borders of the Badlands.

In the game, it is true that transporting ants are often seen moving in neat queues. Originally, ants have certain social attributes. It is not impossible for the New World ants in Monster Hunting World to travel long distances to transport a large amount of dried meat.

"You actually made a self-consistent inference. There won't be a elementary school student holding a voice changer hiding behind you, right?"

"What?"

"It's okay, instead of wandering aimlessly, let's first follow the guide insects to find ant mounds and investigate. If the dried meat is transported to a giant ant mound, as long as you get close to me, this guide lamp will emit light." reacted."

However, this is an area named after [Big Ant Mound]. It is already quite a lot of work to confirm the ant mound in the known area... It is better to start searching from the super giant ant mound that looks very spectacular as much as possible. .

After all, with so much jerky lost, it was not something that a normal medium-sized anthill could do.

"Ye Zhe, gunpowder grass that is about the height of a person! I went to the volcanic area to collect the gunpowder grass for fireworks. The gunpowder grass used for fireworks is no longer than my knee length. This is too big. Let's take this back to the fireworks."

"Although it doesn't have to be fireworks, but this can also be used to exchange for investigation points. Put it away-just cut off the red part."

Because the real New World is much wider than in the game, these useful resources are not so easy to find. Although there are a lot of vegetation, most of them are still under research. Materials with clear uses such as gunpowder are also quite valuable. .

Chapter 336. Canglan Star's way of pioneering wasteland

During the day, the temperature in the large anthill wasteland is gradually rising. Ye Zhe and Jiabao try their best to trace the location of the anthill along the shadow cast by the rock wall, which can be cooler and help to preserve their energy.

The temperature here is so subtle that even if you get exposed to the sun, you won’t get heatstroke quickly, so it’s unnecessary to drink [cold drinks], but it’s very hot if you don’t drink it.

At present, scholars have not found materials that can be used to make [cold drinks] in the New World. The [cold drinks] carried by Ye Zhe and Jiabao are all brought by the fleet, so it is better to save a little.

It is not only the hunters who stalk the ants, but also the residents living in the wasteland of the large anthills who are greedy for shade.

"Ye Zhe, there is a rabbit that looks like a sausage, shall we take it back and raise it? The sausage rabbit may be of great research value."

"Are you going to keep carrying a live rabbit to investigate? And now is not a good time to make a move."

The Orbiting Rabbit, which should have been alert, spotted the hunter, and even though he stepped back to the side to distance himself from the hunter, he still didn't leave the shadow.

Most of this area is relatively mild-tempered herbivores, not only the sausage-like orbiting rabbits hiding in the shadows, but also the huge Ankylosaurus group lined up in a row as if they were parked on the side of the road. Enjoy the shade at the base of the wall and live in peace with other small animals.

It's really peaceful - catching rabbits at this time will cause public outrage. Anyway, there is no mission to investigate the ecology of rabbits, so let's ignore it this time.

But when it comes to the same thing as sausages... If you go around the rabbit in the gourmet world, it will really become a delicious sausage that you can eat right?

"Oh... the guide insects are flying over there! The first large ant mound is found!"

In the end, the orbiting rabbits were scared away, and even the ankylosaurs were paying attention here...

Guided by the guide insects, the hunters walked out of the shade area, made a few turns and came to the foot of the anthill.

Ant mounds are about two stories high. Although they are not too small, termites on earth can build their nests as high as four or five meters. The carrier ants in the hunter world should be more capable than ordinary termites, so I guess It is a newly built nest.

"Although my [Jerky Search Guide] hasn't responded yet, I've already begun to believe that the prisoner is really a porter ant."

Ye Zhe looked at a toothbrush that was integrated into the anthill and said.

These transporting ants really took everything home, and I don't know which member's toothbrush was transported here as a branch.

"Do you want to take the toothbrush back (°Д°)?"

"...I think, even if the owner can be found, he probably won't want to use it anymore..."

The star stronghold is not a certain academy that can greatly increase its favorability by looking for lost items. It is better to save the toothbrush for the porter ants.
