Ant Forest

"Sigh." The old priest sighed again, stroked his beard, and said in deliberation, "Our lair used to be bigger than this."

Lin Yi nodded quickly.

"Our territory used to include several valleys, unlike now, there is only one left." The old priest sighed, as if he was nostalgic for the glory of the past.

Lin Yi's heart was itching, what he wanted to hear was gossip, no, it was a story!Not listening to the old priest here nostalgic for the past.

The old priest cast a glance at Lin Yi, who could no longer sit still, and suddenly coughed heavily, "Forget it, what's the use of me telling you this? It's just adding trouble." The old priest shook his head, with a look on his face vicissitudes.

Lin Yi: "..." Damn, is there anyone who stops talking like this in the middle?Isn't this cheating?

Lin Yi was so angry that the top of his head was smoking, and he was even more anxious, "Priest, are you..."

Before Lin Yi finished speaking, the old priest's expression suddenly turned cold, and he quickly swept the small bag on the stone table into his pocket with a movement that Lin Yi almost didn't see clearly. The image of a noble priest who is high above the sky and sacred and inviolable.

Lin Yi was dumbfounded, and was about to ask the old priest what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, when he suddenly felt a hair on his back.

He closed his mouth tactfully, and then heard light footsteps.

The closer the footsteps got, the more nervous Lin Yi became, and every muscle in his body tensed up.

After the sound stopped, Lin Yi glanced out of the corner of his eye, and what caught his eye was a touch of snow—a female ant like white jade!

Lin Yi didn't know why this white ant came here, but this didn't dispel his fear.If he was in human form now, he might have goosebumps that would come out.

"I'm here to get something." White Ant's voice was soft and ethereal.Lin Yi was stunned, he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere.This white ant had appeared beside the old priest before, so Lin Yi was not too unfamiliar, but he still had a feeling of deja vu.They should have met.

The old priest smiled, and the smile was very weak, "Go, girl, you know where the things are."

"Yeah." The white ant turned around and rummaged through the wooden shelf. Soon, she took something away.

Knowing that the white ant had left, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"She is?" Lin Yi asked, patting his chest lightly.

The old priest's face collapsed all of a sudden, "Don't ask, you will find out later, the time is not yet."

Lin Yi was puzzled, this old man tried his best to tell him off, and didn't say anything, Lin Yi felt that he was about to suffocate to death.

"Alas." The old priest sighed again, and the spirited feeling he had when facing the white ants before was indeed gone.

"By the way." The old priest suddenly widened his eyes again, "You dare to become an adult outside! Your wings are stiff, do you want to fly by yourself?"

Lin Yi: "..." Are the reflex arcs of all the ants in the ant nest so long?

"I'm not a flying ant, I don't have wings." Lin Yi retorted softly.

"You!" The old priest jumped, "Have your wings become stiff and your mouth too?"

Lin Yi shut up and didn't dare to gnaw.

The old priest scolded Lin Yi for a long time, scolding Lin Yi like a grandson, and then he felt that his chest was blocked a lot.

"I said, why are you so stupid?" The old priest stretched out his tentacles helplessly, wanting to check for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi shrugged and sent the tentacles up.

The old priest: "..." He must have not woken up, or why didn't he feel something wrong with Lin Yi's aura?

The old priest wiped his face, this time he simply pulled Lin Yi to him, and touched him up and down with his tentacles.

If it weren't for the old ant who was so old that his eyes were blurred and his limbs were blurred, Lin Yi would have to be called a hooligan.

"Wait, I want to be quiet for a while." The old priest said suddenly, and then he started to be dazed.

Lin Yi originally wanted to see the old priest's good show, why did Ant suddenly become like this?Could it be that he was hit too hard?

Lin Yi had no choice but to stay in a daze with the old priest. The two ants, one old and one young, stared at the ceiling with their tentacles in a daze and acted like sculptures.

After a long while, Lin Yi's tentacles twitched. He felt that he was so stupid. He actually followed the old priest to do this. He must have had a brain twitch.

The old priest also came back to his senses, and coughed in embarrassment, "Then what, you..." The old priest paused, and suddenly his old face twitched, "Why do you still smell like that cold-faced boy?"

Cold boy?Lin Yi almost laughed out loud. Is that the old priest's name Sheng?But he still felt that the topic had changed too quickly.

"You haven't answered me yet!" The old priest stared at Lin Yi unkindly.

Lin Yi blushed and said, "He is my partner."

The old priest blushed, took a breath, and said bitterly, "That kid is cheap!"

Lin Yi: "..."

After uncovering the issue of Lin Yi's partner, the old priest is obviously still interested in what happened to Lin Yi.

He studied Lin Yi's body over and over again, and even penetrated all the energy into Lin Yi's body, scaring Lin Yi's balls and light spots so honestly.

"That's not right." The old priest was stumped, and couldn't find the answer by scratching his head.Lin Yi secretly thought that Dandan and Guangdian are not vegetarians, they also eat energy, how could they be discovered obediently?

In this way, even the old priest didn't discover the existence of Eggy. Could he think that as long as Eggy doesn't take the initiative to expose them, they can hide for a lifetime?

Although the old priest didn't understand what was going on, he couldn't find out why when he asked Lin Yi, so he had to give up.However, his attention was quickly attracted by Lin Yi's small bag, and the specimen was the more important thing.

Although the old priest also confirmed that Lin Yi did not become an abandoned ant, as long as he grew up outside, he must be observed and isolated, which is the rule of the nest.

Just how long it takes depends on the thoughts of the surrounding ants, and even the old priest can't control it.This matter made the old priest very dissatisfied, and he pointed at the nose of the soldier ant who was waiting for Lin Yi to go out and scolded him once.

"I'll call you over if I have something to do." The old priest sighed, his tone somewhat desolate.

Lin Yi nodded and followed the soldier ants away.

As soon as Lin Yi's figure disappeared, the old priest's expression became complicated.

At this time, a wall behind the old priest suddenly cracked, revealing a passage, and a noble and beautiful humanoid female ant walked in.Her steps are brisk, her expression is arrogant yet full of kindness and gentleness, she is the queen of the ant nest!

"Priest." The queen nodded.

"Your Majesty." The old priest nodded to the Queen.The status of their two ants in the nest is indispensable, and the priest does not need to be afraid of the queen like other ants.

"Have you found anything?" asked the Queen.

The old priest shook his head, "Nothing, but..." The old priest changed his subject, "Your Majesty, what happened more than ten years ago is now repeating itself." When the old priest said this, he didn't notice his How badly the tentacles trembled.

The queen's expression also changed, she looked miserable, a little shaky, "Have you confirmed it?" She asked with difficulty.

The old priest shivered and pointed at the small bag in front of him, "It's here, it was brought back by that brat."

The queen saw the small bag on the table, as if she had seen something terrible, something dirty that she avoided.

She took a few steps back, a little dizzy, "Obviously, so many years have passed, why, why did such a thing happen?"

"Your Majesty, it's not us, it's not us anymore." The old priest said quickly.

He knew that the incident more than ten years ago was the queen's biggest heart disease, and no matter how powerful the queen was, she would have untouchable wounds, and he didn't want the queen to suffer again.

"Heh." The queen suddenly smiled in a low voice, "Is it a nightmare that I can't escape?"

"Your Majesty." The old priest was a little worried.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." The queen interrupted the old priest, "You can do whatever you want, and in the end I can afford it no matter what."

The worry in the eyes of the old priest did not decrease, but increased, and the wrinkles on his face showed even more suffering and vicissitudes.

……

Lin Yi followed the soldiers and ants around and around, getting more and more remote, he didn't know that there were ants here too.

"Here we are." Lin Yi tried to talk to the soldier ant along the way, but he ignored Lin Yi, and only opened his mouth now.

"What is this place?" Lin Yi couldn't help asking again.He was ready to be ignored, but the soldier ants replied, "This is the 'Lost Land'."

"The Lost Land?" Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

"The abandoned ants like you all live here." The soldier ants didn't seem to want to stay any longer, so they pushed Lin Yi inside, then quickly closed the door and walked away.

Lin Yi stroked the tentacles, a little speechless.

After carefully looking around, Lin Yi realized that this so-called lost place was clearly a huge nest.There are no single rooms here, only sparse and simple tents built with branches and leaves.

Ants in twos and threes came in and out, and some were lying in tents, and some didn't even have tents at all, just lying on the ground.

Except for those ants that seemed to be busy, most of the ants here only gave Lin Yi a kind of lifeless feeling.

Lin Yi's arrival just caused the ants here to stir up a little bit, and found that they did not come to pick up the ants back, but sent another unlucky guy, so they restrained the expectation on their faces, and changed back to that Looks numb.

Lin Yi suddenly felt a little tricky, he didn't know how long he had to stay here, but it didn't look like a good place to stay, like a slum.

He never knew that there would be such a place in the ant nest before, but probably the nest was willing to take in their "impure blood" descendants, which was kind enough.

"Hey, have you been abandoned by the queens of other lairs too? How is it? Does it feel good to be the king's husband?" A voice suddenly came from behind Lin Yi.
