Ant Forest

"It's so beautiful." Lin Yi exclaimed.

Sheng led Lin Yi out of the nest.

The snow had stopped, and they followed a group of worker ants, and it took a lot of effort to clear the snow blocking the entrance and exit, and then they came out smoothly.

Lin Yi looked at the snow scene in front of her and praised it sincerely.

Indeed, before his eyes had become a world of ice and snow, the trees were frozen in the snow, and the slightly melted snowflakes condensed into transparent ice, forming all kinds of strangely shaped iceflakes, which were too beautiful to behold.

Lin Yi has never seen such a beautiful ice flower, nature is really amazing.

Sheng took a few quick steps, raised his forelegs and began to scrape a snowdrift.

Lin Yi didn't know, so she came up curiously.

"Ah." Lin Yi saw something gradually revealed under Sheng's hands, and made a sound in surprise.

It was a plant that was completely frozen. It was not damaged at all, and it was completely frozen inside.The transparent ice crystals reflect the sunlight that is not too hot in winter, creating a brilliant halo.

"It's so beautiful." Lin Yi sighed.There were even several bunches of small flowers blooming on the plant, which were sealed in the most beautiful moment.

However, Sheng didn't seem to appreciate its beauty.

Sheng directly used the sharp upper jaw, and snapped off the stem of the plant with a click.

Lin Yi: "..."

Is it really good to destroy the environment like this?Lin Yi was in a mess.

He thought... He thought that Sheng was going to be romantic and bring him to enjoy flowers or something.Although he is not a woman, and he doesn't like flowers very much, but at least the angle of appreciation of beauty is the same, okay?

"What's the matter?" Sheng turned around and found that Lin Yi was a little gloomy

The look on his face suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

He just wanted to take his little Yi out to relax, and this red wind was the gift he wanted to give Lin Yi.

"Here." Sheng hesitated, but still picked off the bunches of blood-red flowers on the red wind plant.Those flowers were frozen in the frost and looked beautiful.

Lin Yi blushed, this, are you going to give him flowers?How, how sorry.

Lin Yi twisted the tentacles, and stretched out her forelegs to catch them.

Then he heard Sheng say there, "The flowers of Red Wind contain a cold-repelling substance, and it tastes very good, Xiaoyi, try it and see if you like it."

Apart from their nests and responsibilities, the only hobby of ants is probably food.Sheng thinks so, and in fact, real ants do too.

Lin Yi's outstretched forelimbs froze in mid-air in embarrassment.

Him, he must ignore Sheng for three days!

In the end, Lin Yi stuffed the bunches of red flowers into his mouth. With a layer of ice crust on top, it tasted particularly exciting.Of course, Lin Yi chewed the thing until it was crunchy. Sure enough, he shouldn't have any romantic fantasies about the race of ants.

Seeing that Lin Yi was eating vigorously, Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't want Lin Yi to be overwhelmed by the things in the nest, his little thing, as long as he was happy.

The two ants are clearly separated by a thousand miles in their minds. On the surface, they seem a little strangely tacit, but this is all an illusion!

Sheng took Lin Yi to dig a few snow nests, and took out a lot of huge nuts, half a meter in diameter and long. God knows how Sheng found them!

These nuts are blown down from the big trees by the wind and snow, and the flavor is even more unique when they are frozen by the ice and snow.

Sheng was working hard to crack open the nuts in front, and Lin Yi followed behind and ate desperately.He is not worried at all about not being able to eat or being full. These things also contain some energy, which will be digested by him soon, and will not be wasted at all.

Although the brain waves seemed to be on different channels, Lin Yi's mood gradually improved.

That's right, it's useless to worry, he still has to trust the old priest and his abilities!

But soon, Lin Yi found that he was a little blindly optimistic, and things were even worse than he had imagined.

He had been called to the isolation nursery by the old priest.

Since the old priest told him to go in, it meant that those sick eggs did not have the ability to infect adult ants.

When Lin Jian saw the old priest and Ge, the old priest was still indifferent, but Ge's expression was much uglier.There was still some panic left on his face, it seemed that if there was more stimulation, the poor little ant would faint.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhige seemed to be speechless, so he went to ask the old priest.

The old priest shook his head and signaled Lin Yi to go and see for himself.

Lin Yi lifted the leaf in front of him.

Taking a casual glance, Lin Yi gasped, let go of his hands and took a few steps back, almost sitting on the ground.

The leaves wobbled back down again, covering the truth below.

"How could this happen!" Lin Yi finally understood how Ge's distorted expression came about.

"I first tried to treat those eggs with source energy. You know, the source energy of the nest is our roots. God of Ants, even the little ones who haven't hatched can get the gift of ant sheng." The old priest began to tell, "But that's no use."

"I chose to use ancient potions again, but they are still gradually losing their vitality." The old priest closed his eyes, "until I opened an egg."

When the old priest said this, his body couldn't help but began to tremble.He opened an egg, a live egg!He took the life of a larva, which was the last thing the old priest wanted to do, but he did it anyway.

He also opened those dead eggs, but there was nothing abnormal inside. The old priest had no choice but to open an egg that was dying.May the Ant God forgive his sins...

Lin Yi knew how determined the old priest was to do this.In the eyes of ants, killing young, even unhatched eggs, is a very serious sin!This shows how much psychological pressure the old priest was under.

But it is not useless to bear such a crime, and the old priest finally discovered the reason why these eggs were sick.

But the result was not what the old priest wanted to see, these eggs were actually parasitized!

It was nothing short of a disaster.

How many years has this happened?This had never happened since the old priest could remember.He had only heard about this terrible disaster from the priests of the previous generation. It was so long ago that not many ants could remember it.

A very small worm obviously grew inside those eggs. These greedy worms robbed the larvae of the egg's nutrients and even ate the internal organs of the developing larvae, so they couldn't see any traces on the outside. .

Until the old priest opened this egg, these damn bugs had no time to hide, run away, hide, and were caught.

Lin Yi closed his eyes, no wonder he didn't see anything unusual.The breath of these insects is exactly the same as that of ant larvae, and even the energy body is exactly the same, no wonder he can't see anything.

"Then what should we do now?" Lin Yi asked calmly.

"What else can I do?" The old priest gasped, "Damn it! What can we do? These eggs have been parasitized, and unless they die, those bugs won't come out anyway. We can kill it through the eggshell But I know, it’s too late, it’s too late, if you kill them, the eggs will die too.”

The old priest made it very clear that this batch of infected eggs could not be saved.

Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the eggs behind the old priest, and then at the haggard old priest, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

"I'll try." These eggs have been declared dead, but Lin Yi still doesn't give up. What if there is still a way?

Lin Yi leaned over to study those eggs.

"If I ever find out who put those bastards that lay eggs on eggs in the nursery, I'll kill him!" the old priest raged.

For those eggs to become infected, adults need to be born on them in the first place.Maybe it was a sharp, hard and dangerous birth needle, which mercilessly inserted into the delicate shell of the balls, and then the balls were infected by those nasty bug eggs, and they never had the chance to come to this world.

The old priest is more capable than Lin Yi. How can Lin Yi do things that he can't do?Maybe if Lin Yi's ability is stronger, he can save these little things, but now.

Lin Yi looked at the egg that had lost its vitality under his command, with a dejected look on his face, he really couldn't do it.

Lin Yi silently returned to the old priest. The old priest had already guessed the result, so he was not surprised.

"Then now..." Lin Yi asked hoarsely.

The old priest patted Lin Yi, "Don't worry, I've already borrowed a group of flying ants from the queen, and asked them to check every corner of the nest. As long as you find those guys, there may be a chance to save these eggs. "

Lin Yi nodded, this was the only way.

"I've already sent more ants to the nursery. As long as you guard the nursery firmly, you won't be afraid of those things reappearing! As soon as they appear, don't even think about leaving." The old priest said with murderous intent, he was really angry broken.

This is the only way, and Lin Yi has no other good way.

The old priest continued to think of ways to keep the sick eggs alive, so Lin Yi ran to participate in the hunt.

It's just that they don't even know what the target is, and they feel a bit like headless chickens running around.The chances of finding out are not great, Lin Yi searched randomly, then silently gave up.In the end, he simply moved to the nursery, which happened to be able to drag Sheng, a powerful fighting force.

The ants in the nest didn't know what happened, but they suddenly found that they had more chances to see flying ants in their nest, which is really strange.

The boulder in Lin Yi's heart dropped a little, but he picked it up again soon.

Greg told him that a flying ant was sick, and very sick!And that flying ant was not the only one, several of them had some mild symptoms.

Now, Lin Yi couldn't calm down at all.
