Ant Forest

He didn't dare to make a sound at all, Lin Yi broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't feel the ants behind him at all!

Just when he was about to fight desperately, the ant behind him dragged him into a crack, and the tongue of the not-so-small bug just swept past his toes.

Lin Yi and the ant behind him didn't dare to vent their anger. When the bug gradually went away, Lin Yi flicked his tail back without hesitation, and broke free from the ant's grip.

"Hmm..." The ant behind was screamed by Lin Yi's sudden attack, and then cried out intermittently, "It hurts, I saved you with good intentions, is this how you repay me? It's too much!"

Lin Yi retreated to a safe place, and took a closer look, and found that the one who dragged him here was an ant with a very wide head and mandible—a big-headed ant!

"Are you still alive?" Lin Yi asked without thinking.

The big-headed ant was dissatisfied, and rubbed the place where Lin Yi's sting hurt, "Are you blind, can't you see that I am a big living ant?"

Lin Yi shrank his tentacles embarrassingly.

The big-headed ant continued to talk about Lin Yi, "It's really kind of unrewarded..." Lin Yi didn't want to interrupt him, so he had to bite the bullet and listen to him.

Seeing that the big-headed ant had not spoken for a long time and wanted to say enough at once, Lin Yi quickly interrupted him, "Do you know where the other group of forest ants that came into this nest are?"

The big-headed ant's expression turned cold all of a sudden, "Are those forest ants a few days ago your companions?"

Lin Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect the big-headed ant to turn his face immediately, "You nasty forest ants, come here to take advantage of something wrong with our nest, thieves, robbers!"

Lin Yi was so scolded that he broke into a cold sweat again, and quickly stopped, "What happened to your lair? Why did it become like this? Where is your companion?"

The big-headed ant was scolding happily, but was discouraged by Lin Yi's question. He showed a terrified look, "Actually, I don't know. I happened to go out to play that day. When I returned to the nest, I found that everyone was gone." , There are more inexplicable things in the lair, I, I am afraid..."

Lin suggested that the big-headed ant trembled more and more as he talked, and quickly interrupted him, "It's fine if you don't know, don't worry."

The big-headed ant obediently lowered its head, showing a helpless smile.

Lin Yi secretly thought that this guy can live in such a terrifying lair for such a long time without any psychological shadows, so he is considered to be mentally strong.Of course, it is also possible that the nerves are thicker.

Seeing that the big-headed ant had calmed down, Lin Yi calmly began to insinuate, but unfortunately this big-headed ant didn't know anything, and he got angry when he mentioned foreign ants. Talking is a complete waste of time.

Flicking the tentacles irritably, Lin Yi didn't know whether the big-headed ant really didn't know or was just pretending to be stupid, but he didn't have time.

"Since you don't know, I'll find it myself. Thank you for saving me just now. I have to go first. Goodbye." Lin Yi turned around and rescued me.

"Hey, you!" Big-headed ant's eyes widened. He didn't expect Lin Yi to be so resolute and decisive, which was different from what he thought.

"Wait!" The big-headed ant hurriedly shouted, "This is my territory, I am much more familiar with it than you..."

"Will you tell me how to find them?" Lin Yi didn't look back.

"..." The big-headed ant suffocated.

He turned around a few times, but still gritted his teeth and chased after Lin Yi.He originally thought that there was only one forest ant, and he must be easier to fool than that team. He didn't expect that guy to look young, but his mind was very meticulous. He couldn't guide him at all. Important information is lost.

However, I didn't expect that after he started to pretend to be stupid, that guy left alone without hesitation, and I don't know if he saw his plan.

Lin Yi didn't stop when he heard the big-headed ant's shout. That big-headed ant didn't have a few words of truth, and Lin Yi felt very tired talking to him.

However, it should be true that the guy didn't know why their nest became like this. Since the ant was unreliable, Lin Yi decided to rely on himself.

"Hey." The big-headed ant managed to catch up, and found that Lin Yi still had no intention of stopping, so he had no choice but to say, "I know where the group of ants you asked about is."

Lin Yi's footsteps stopped.

……

"Sheng, what's going on outside?" Fan lay weakly on the ground, his forelimbs and tentacles were covered with dark red mud-like things, which caused him great pain, but he still maintained his consciousness and did not Showed a shred of timidity.

Sheng jumped in from a crack, his expression was heavy, he just shook his head.

Fan sighed, "It seems that the Ant God didn't protect us anymore."

"Don't think too much, we will go out." Sheng looked at the dark depths outside the crack, with a firm expression on his face, he must go out.

What they are now in is a natural crack in the big-headed ant's nest. This is not a place planned and used by the big-headed ant, but it is used as a natural ventilation duct.

It was this pipeline that saved them and gave them a place to hide, otherwise they might have gotten into the belly of those weird bugs here.

Sheng didn't speak any more, he walked to Fan's side and began to help Fan clean up the dark red substance on his body.

These dark red things grew out of the wound after Fan was injured.They tried many methods, but they couldn't get rid of it completely. It always grew back a short time after it was cleaned up, and prevented the wound from healing.

These things seemed to have the effect of absorbing the energy of the ants. Fan's body became weaker and weaker, and soon he could only lie here.

They have been separated from the main force, and they don't know what happened to the other companions.With Fan's current state, it is impossible for Sheng to leave him to find other ants.

"Don't do it." Seeing that Sheng was cleaning up meticulously, Fan said helplessly, "It's useless, don't waste your energy."

Sheng remained unmoved, and continued to clean up the dark red substance around the wound until they were all scraped aside.

Fan let out a long sigh of relief because of the short relaxing time, "I don't know if Xiao went out smoothly."

They tried their best to find a way out, but they only covered an ant to go out. They could only hope that Xiao would quickly tell the follow-up troops about the situation underground, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.

These soldier ants, even if they were sacrificed, would not cause any waves in the nest, and their companions would just sigh, and soon forget them.They are just one of thousands of lives, and no ants will care when they disappear.

There was some silence in the crack, Sheng was not a talkative ant, and he only seemed normal in front of Lin Yi.

Fan, on the other hand, felt tired even to breathe, there was no ant to accompany him, and he didn't want to say anything to a big rock like Sheng.

After resting against the wall for a while, Sheng regained some strength, and he put some food beside Fan, "We are running out of food, and I will go out again today." In fact, he had given all the food to Fan. I gave it to Fan, but there is no need to let Fan know about this kind of thing.

"Understood." Fan whispered, just because he didn't say it didn't mean he didn't know, their food should have run out a long time ago.It was Sheng who kept saving his own rations for him, otherwise he would have been absorbed by the unknown substance on the wound, and he would have been unable to survive.

Fan knew that even if he rejected Sheng, there would be a way to make him eat it, so he didn't waste that energy, but failed Sheng's heart.This is the companion who will never leave, they are companions!

"Be careful, there is a kid waiting for you outside, if you can't go back, he will cry." Fan joked.

"Well, I know." Sheng tidied up, carefully erasing the smell and traces, so as not to let those weird bugs find the possibility.

There was a crack, maybe the Ant God finally blessed them, Sheng suddenly felt a little hot in his chest, he didn't know why, but his body trembled a little without his control.

Maybe, it's time for him to find some food, too.

Sheng jumped lightly and fell to the ground.

……

"Didn't you say that you want to take me to find my companion?" Lin Yi's tentacles swept back and forth impatiently, and the big-headed ants were devouring the pitifully small amount of food he brought with him.

Lin Yi was also a little annoyed, he rushed down to look for Sheng as soon as his brain got hot, but he didn't make enough preparations.

This big-headed ant is like a starved ghost reincarnated, Lin Yi touched his poor carry-on bag, and secretly calculated how long they could last with the little food left.

"I'll have the strength to take you there when I'm full!" the big-headed ant said naturally.

Lin Yi was so angry that his tentacles trembled, if this guy didn't know the way, he would have kicked him away.

"Let's go." The big-headed ant patted its stomach in satisfaction, seeing Lin Yi's unfriendly eyes, and hurriedly said.

Only then did Lin Yi hold back, "Lead the way."

The big-headed ant led Lin Yi forward.

Of course, this guy was more familiar with the road than Lin Yi. He led Lin Yi to turn left and right, but he avoided those weird big bugs.

Lin Yi noticed that they were walking deep underground, did Sheng and the others have already gone to the queen's room?Lin Yi didn't ask the big-headed ants how their queen was doing, maybe this would be a failed topic.

"Where are they?" Lin Yi still couldn't help asking.

"Just follow me." The big-headed ant was full of confidence, "Those guys are too courageous, but it doesn't matter, we have a lot of big-headed ants, and we won't care about them."

"Then what happened to them? Is there anything wrong?"

"What could be the matter? Of course I was trapped. I thought I was very powerful, so I fell down?" The tone of the big-headed ant was a little strange.

Lin Yi's footsteps gradually stopped, and the big-headed ant was still complaining. When he found that Lin Yi had no voice, he said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with you? Do you still want to find your companion?"

"What's your purpose?" Lin Yi said with a cold face, "You're lying, you don't even know where they are."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why should I lie to you? I..." The big-headed ant wanted to defend at first, but suddenly showed an inexplicable smile, "I really know where your companions are, and I will send you to see them immediately How are they?"

Lin Yi frowned, and quietly started to back away.

Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes looking at Lin Yi, "Enjoy it!" The big-headed ant suddenly rushed to a place, and the whole ant disappeared.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly chased after it, only to find that the place where the big-headed ant disappeared was the same as the strangely missing passage back then, leaving no trace behind!

The soles of his feet began to tremble a little. Something came over. Lin Yi gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.He was already cautious enough, but he didn't expect to get it right.It's a pity that he has no choice but to completely disbelieve the big-headed ants. What if he really knows where Sheng and the others are?He can't afford to lose!

Lin Yi turned around, and simply rushed into the corridor that didn't know where it would lead.
