The marching ants had loosened the surrounding walls a lot. Link used a little effort to knock down the pieces of soil and rocks and walked straight in.

"Help me pry the shell of the recorder."

Link placed the recorder on the ground, and then a group of silver worker ants rushed up and surrounded the recorder in an instant.

Link squatted beside him and stared at him, fearing that the worker ants would accidentally break the hidden things inside the recorder.

"Hey, be careful little guys."

Link stood up with his head and stared at him wide.

The workers did not come up and started to chew, but surrounded the recording pens, just like a construction foreman surveying on a construction site. They circled around for several times before they determined the construction direction.

The worker ants stretched out their upper jaws like pliers, then kept rubbing on the recorder, zipping off the metal debris bit by bit.

After the first team was dismantled, they lined up in an orderly manner, and walked towards the ant nest with metal particles in their arms.

Then the second team lined up immediately...

Link looked at the recorder with his naked eyes as a white mark appeared around the recording pen from shallow to deep.

Command with appropriate measures and prohibit orders.

Although Link had known that the marching ants had always implemented their thoughts and firm will, he watched hundreds of worker ants complete tasks in an orderly manner, with the same frequency and speed of every move, as neatly as carved from a mold.

This shock is far stronger than seeing some kind of prehistoric monster.

Soon the metal around the recorder was bitten by the worker ants, and the worker ants returned to the ant nest in an orderly manner.

Link easily opened the recorder and found another one under the circuit board...

Why say again?

Because the circuit board was lifted, a black metal rod was quietly lying inside the semicircular recorder shell.

"What is this?"

Link held the ferrous metal rod in his hand and looked carefully.

This metal rod is about ten centimeters long and is black all over.

Soon Link discovered the first unique point. This metal rod has a deep blackness, which in professional terms means extremely low reflectivity.

Secondly, the ferrous metal rod has a regular hexagonal outline, with tough lines and slightly thinner than a pencil.

If there is another curved handle on the head, it will be a hexagonal screwdriver.

Link subconsciously pinched the ferrous metal rod, then pushed the thrust outward with his thumb, and tried the hardness of the metal rod.

In the end, the thumb was stretched to red, and the metal rod did not move at all, with no curvature.

Link has also been an old player who has been playing for six years. Looking at this metal rod from the perspective of people who have experienced it, it doesn’t seem like something like Waste Saturn that can be made by technology in the development of nuclear level for more than 40 years.

As for the system description.

[Flame metal rod: Well... quite mysterious]

It's quite perfunctory, too.

I? Don't know this thing is mysterious?

Link was speechless and had to install the ferrous metal rod first.

"You can bring the body outside and bury it!"

Link took on the main quest for hiding from the prince and inherited the name of Mandala. He was always not willing to let his body continue to lie in the secret passage.

This ant nest was left here by the prince's heart. After more than 40 years, these marching ants were buried in person to repay the "gratitude of raising" back then.

The hardworking ants received the order and lined up without saying a word, walked out of the hole in a uniform manner, walked all the way to the bones, and carried them up with clothes from outside.

Ah Fu finally woke up for a while. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a gorgeously dressed skeleton drifting on the ground. When his eyes turned, he fainted again.

The workers moved the bones to designated locations and then began to pull out the walls and ground.

The prince's bones were visible to the naked eye and were covered by soil, and finally formed a compacted small earth bundle.

Link looked at the ant nest and looked at the Royal Chinese Ring on his ring finger.

If there was no ant nest found before and no A-level commission was received, the Whirling Castle was a transit station where Link settled before entering Shadu.

But now he needs to think about it...

Since he has taken on the A-level mission, some major forces in Shadu have naturally become Link's enemies.

Shadu has many forces, and the situation is complex and undercurrents are surging.

By then, Link takes action and moves his whole body with one move, and the sand will definitely be in chaos.

This requires him to have a base where he can attack and retreat and defend.

Although the Whirling Castle is dilapidated, it has three secret passages. Link is also very familiar with the environment here. The most important thing is that there are secret passages that can be used to and from Shadu without any knowledge.

The Crying Valley, sandwiched between the Mechanical God Cult and Shadu, can be said to be an independent territory.

There is still half a year before the player officially enters the game. The main mission of [Mandala's Revenge] is clearly to be enemies of major forces. Link must raise his own force. After the player enters the game, he will use his NPC identity to contact some players and issue tasks to guide the player to do his own business.

"Okay, then set the base at the Whirling Castle!"

He became famous here in his previous life, and now he has obtained the main mission here again. For Link, he can be regarded as a treasure land.

Just as Link was exploring, Afu ran in from outside staggeringly.

"Boss is not good. I just saw a moving skeleton!"

Link looked up at Ah Fu and said lightly: "I haven't seen any skeletons? Is it because you were stuck just now that you haven't woken up completely and have hallucinations?"

Ah Fu glanced at the secret room and saw no skeletons.

He couldn't help but scratch his head: "Is it really dazzled?"

"Okay, I've been busy all night, so let's have a good rest now."

The two of them fled all the way from the Fierce Wind Desert, the barren Gobi Desert, and only curled up under the Gobi Desert Rock for a night.

At the Howling Castle, Link solved five mechanical god fanatics, and then discovered so many secrets one after another, and his spirit was in a state of high excitement. Afu glanced at the tree-shaped ant nest and dense silver marching ants, and he had goose bumps all over his body. Finally, he ran to the secret passage outside the wall and lay down. After a while, rhythmic snoring came.

"All the marching ants obey the orders, and now immediately explore the whistling castle, spread the team, and dig out all the secrets!"

After Link gave the order, the worker ants, soldiers and flying ants were all dispatched to scatter all over the castle.

Since he is planning to use the Whirlwind Castle as a base, Link must have a clearer understanding of the Whirlwind Castle.

A few hours ago, Link would have dared to pat his arms and say that he knew the Whirling Castle very well, but now he must send a marching ant army to explore the Whirling Castle completely, ensuring that no one is missing.

And those who can do this are the "omnipresent" marching ants.

The marching ants were scattered everywhere, and Link saw the silver queen in the center of the ant nest at a glance.

Previously, the marching ants bite the metal and transported some metal debris to the silver queen.

At this moment, the silver queen ant grabbed the metal debris and stuffed it into her mouth to chew it. The huge abdomen below began to tremble, and then squeezed out a metal egg the size of a silver rice grain and fell into the ant nest.

The silver queen ant picked up a piece of metal debris as thin as dust and continued to eat.

After eating several times, another metal egg was squeezed out from the abdomen.

Link came forward and observed carefully. The surface of the metal eggs as big as rice grains was as smooth as water droplets.

Immediately afterwards, patterns appeared on the metal eggs, like water droplets wrapped gradually sublimating, revealing the prototypes of more marching ants.

The tentacles, front and rear limbs were stripped from the "water droplets", and the appearance of the silver marching ants became more and more complete.

Just in the few minutes Link observed, the silver queen had laid three or four metal eggs.

The marching ants were scattered throughout the castle, and Link clearly noticed the location of each marching ants through special bloodline connections.

These marching ants gathered into lines in the middle of Link's mind, and the lines formed into surfaces, outlining the secret passages and layout of the castle.

The perception of marching ants is much stronger than that of treasure hunting rats and humans. Even with a thick wall, it can dig a way out.

Later, the shape of the castle became clearer and clearer, but Link fell asleep due to fatigue and drowsiness...

In a dream.

Link dreamed that it was pouring rain in the sky, and the rain slapped on his face.

The rain was like a fine needle, and it hurt a little when it was pierced on the face, but in the end it was a storm that was suffocating.

"call!"

Link suddenly opened his eyes and found that the treasure hunter was licking his face and hair, and his whole body was blocking in front of his nose, which made him unable to breathe.

Link took a look at the system and it was already 10:30 in the morning.

It’s safe and comfortable for six hours, so you don’t have to worry about enemy attacks or whether there is a tomorrow.

Link rubbed his face and forced himself to wake up. Then he looked at the stump ant nest, and the marching ants had all returned to his position.

Link communicated with the marching ants, and the little guys were chattering and scrambling to the forefront.

During communication with the marching ants, Link learned that there was indeed some places he had not discovered in the Howling Castle.

He stood up straightforward and asked Feiyi to take him over.
To be continued...
