Chapter 49 Gold Ring
[Bee and butterfly pupa × 1, ant shell × 1]
Their group was parasitized and used as a tool to hatch another group.
It turns out that the honey of bees and butterflies is not brewed by itself like in the real world, but uses the host's body as a container to make the best use of it...
Yan Zizheng was a little puzzled. Even if the strength was not strong enough, with such a huge number, the ants would bite the elephant to death and it was not something he just said casually.
What's more, how could it be so completely invaded when it was hidden deep underground? This question was quickly answered in the next place.
"Sister Yan, look."
The group of worker ants quickly entered another cave, where the fishy smell and decay were intertwined, mixed with a strange and alluring sweet fragrance.
The organs and bones of unknown animals were piled together, and the cuts were smooth and bloodless, mixed with the blackened and shriveled fruits.
She also had a portion of the golden viscous liquid spilled all over the floor in her backpack.
"It's bee and butterfly honey."
Yan Zi recognized it, but had no intention of taking the opportunity to collect it.
"Sister, inside here..."
Tong Yan gently picked it up with a wooden stick. Under the weak light of the flashlight, he could vaguely see the translucent eggs inside. Bit by bit, they were only about the size of a tadpole, and they were densely packed together.
The disastrous creature called the Bee Butterfly uses this method to parasitize its own larvae in the entire nest of strange ants.
Yan Zi made the wrong move on his back molar, secretly glad that he had not eaten this thing in the first place. Otherwise, he might have become a vessel for bee and butterfly larvae.
"Then shall we continue to look for an exit now?"
Only now did Tong Sheng dare to have a formal chat with her.
He pointed to the little conch and explained.
"I found this in the stomach of a gull after killing it that day. I didn't expect it to be used."
Without this, the two of them might not be as relaxed as they are now.
"It's a rare trip, so you can't go back empty-handed."
Yanzi moved the leather case forward and looked at the cave where the food was stored.
Bloody and corrupt.
A normal person would vomit after looking at it for a few more times, but she was used to seeing this kind of scene, so she didn't react much.
"Sister Yan, you can't eat these after you pick them up, right?"
He saw her sticking out the harpoon from the eye hole to pick out the pile of things that could not be looked directly at. The child's voice turned a little pale and was also greatly shocked.
"You are braver than I expected."
Yan Zi only tilted his shoulders slightly to block his view. The harpoon in his hand quickly picked out the freshest pieces of meat and pieced them together into scattered half-carcases on the ground.
The handicap was a bit serious, and I thought it wouldn't work.
But unexpectedly, it melted into a bead in the blink of an eye, and the system prompt popped up.
[Eye of Time and Space×1]
Yanzi threw the things to the young man behind him, "Take it to expand the backpack."
Before the other party could open his mouth to refuse, she went to dig through another pile of things and said, "Don't grind like you were in your fifties or sixties."
This kid is good at everything except being a mother-in-law.
Although the pieces of meat were very shredded, Yan Zi was very skilled at putting together corpses, and after a while he was able to restore the victims as much as possible.
[Eye of Time and Space×16]
Most of the time, too much time has passed and only one or two parts of the body have been eaten, so there is really nothing that can be done.
After she and the children were equally divided, she was about to turn around and leave the place, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of something bright and golden in the corner behind the entrance of the cave.
"Wait a moment."
Yan Zi moved over and could barely tell that the lump on the ground was his stomach.
After so long, only a thin layer remains, revealing the contents inside.
She reached out and took it out without hesitation——
It was a ring, made of gold and engraved in the shape of a peony. It looked like a rich man.
[Gold Ring×1]
▲Gold ring: a relic of the deceased, very valuable.
Money is meaningless in this place, but Yanzi still keeps it.
"Let's go to the larvae cave before."
Taking the lead again and moving forward, Yan Zi said in a calm tone, "Kill all their children."
The child's voice choked.
It was originally a normal thing, but for some reason it always felt weird when it came out of her mouth.
…
[Bee and butterfly pupa × 50, ant shell × 50]
There is obviously more than one larvae cave, but the most important thing right now is to find the exit. As for what you can get on the way, you will be taken into account.
After picking up the kid in a pot, Yanzi put on his leather jacket and happened to bump into two teams when he went out.
One of them is a worker ant, but the other team is a soldier ant.
After a slight hesitation, Yan Zi chose to follow the worker ants. Those with low combat effectiveness had a higher chance of winning in the event of a fight.
Moreover, the soldier ants are probably more familiar with each other, and the risk of exposure may also be high.
After only following for a while, Yan Zi realized something was wrong. The direction the group of worker ants were going seemed a bit strange.
The previous caves and tunnels were comparable to a bifurcation of nerves, but the further you go here, the fewer and fewer you walk, and the emptier it becomes, with almost only one road left.
"Back off."
Realizing that something was wrong, Yanzi wanted to retreat.
But it's still a step too late...
A long, plump, flesh-colored barrel emerged from the ground behind him at some point. Along with dripping fluorescent green liquid, dark red tentacles as red as blood stretched out from the depths of the cave, almost like old trees.
At the end of the darkness are two huge red lanterns dotted with stars.
"It's the queen ant..."
Whatever Tong Sheng can think of, Yan Zi can naturally do the same.
The escape route was blocked by the tail of this stupid thing, so the two of them could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
But the more I walked forward, the more frightened I became, as if I couldn't reach the end. How outrageous was the length and size of this queen...
Human beings are innately afraid of giant objects, but when they are faced with a pair of eyeballs that are composed of countless blood-red eyes, and then use a similar method to create a pair of eyeballs in countless layers...
The child's voice fell forward uncontrollably.
Yan Zi quickly used an arm to support him and warned in a low voice, "Don't look at it."
▲Queen Ant: P30, a group whose main job is to reproduce and rule, and has a stomach that can melt metal.
This is probably the only one that has not been parasitized, and its powerful stomach is likely to completely digest the unhatched wasp butterfly eggs.
But it was precisely because of this that he did not realize that there was something wrong with the food.
Yanzi's R value is high, so although he can't avoid feeling dizzy, he won't nearly fall down like a child.
The lower half of the queen's body is still buried in the soil, with only the upper half pulled there by several pairs of fleshy legs. There is also a pair of translucent wings the size of a palm behind her, covering it like plastic wrap.
The most shocking thing is that its head is like a piece of soft rubber that shakes irregularly, changing into various weird shapes with the crimson tentacles underneath.
Round?
triangle?
Or...square?
This question only appeared in Yan Zi's mind for a moment. After feeling the uncomfortable and rapid breathing of the young man behind him, he suppressed it.
She gritted her teeth.
Anyway, just screw it.
