The strong soldier ant carrying the ghost-striped queen squeaked and walked to the front of the insect's belly. The several hundred meters long insect's belly was still releasing fraternal eggs in an orderly manner.
Surdak found that there were more than a dozen ghost-striped male ants on the left and right sides of the queen's abdomen. Almost all of them were lying on the ground listlessly, leaning their tails tightly against the side wall of the queen's abdomen.
And also let out a low whine.
The fraternal eggs in the worm's belly are constantly moving backwards under weak peristalsis. This seems to be the process of their growth in the worm's belly. After they are conceived, they continue to move forward in the several hundred meters long passage.
Then it moved back, and when these deviant eggs had completely acquired a hard shell, they also wriggled to the tail of the insect's abdomen, and then were spit out from a wall of flesh that was constantly opening and closing, one after another, and almost every deviant egg was infected.
With some mucus on it.
The entire incubation room was filled with mucus and sour smell. The worker ants wanted to place the deviated eggs expelled from the worm's belly in the ant nest. Then the worker ants would further clean up the deviated eggs until these things were done.
After that, the fraternal eggs will be moved out of this huge delivery room and into the surrounding incubation room.
When they saw the queen, all the worker ants stopped what they were doing. Some worker ants carefully put the fraternal eggs aside and leaned down towards their queen. Almost all the ghost-striped worker ants in the cave
Doing the same action.
This is a welcome, but it also seems to be a silent mourning for their king.
This was the first time the queen ant used her upper arms to support her body after being seriously injured, and then looked at the people around the cave.
Surdak had previously suspected that although the queen ant only had half of her body left, no legs, and the hard armor had become shattered, the actual injuries to the queen were not as bad as imagined.
Oops, now it seems that the ant queen is really pretending to be dead on the back of the ghost-striped soldier ant, and it actually still has the ability to move.
But after it made a simple movement, some blood seeped out again from the broken part of the body.
It can be seen that it is full of desire to return to the belly of the insect. This sixth-level magic beast now does not have the domineering power of higher-level magic beasts.
The soldier ants carried the dying queen to the front of the insect's belly. At this time, Surdak and his party also approached. It was not until they got closer that Surdak could feel the giant insect's belly, which was nearly several hundred meters long.
What a sense of oppression it brings. The seven to eight meter high insect belly is higher than a three-story building. Moreover, the insect belly is completely made of thick soft skin, and is bulging and stuffed with things.
This is not the tail end of the insect's abdomen, so there is a circular wound in the insect's abdomen, with bunches of fresh meat extending outward, looking like a sea anemone.
The queen ant was held up by two soldier ants, and with all the ants worshiping her, her chest and abdomen were rejoined with the huge insect abdomen.
Just after the connection became one, the flesh threads in the belly of the worm quickly penetrated into the body of the queen ant. Surdak seemed to feel that countless nutrients and vitality were poured into the body of the ghost-striped ant queen.
Some viscous black liquid seeped out from the cracks in the hard armor. This liquid seemed to solidify quickly when it encountered air, quickly repairing the broken hard armor on its body.
Then there might be some kind of fusion going on, and the ghost-striped ant queen let out a hysterical scream. The sluggish it burst out with a powerful aura, and the sharp whistling sound made Surdak feel dizzy.
The wound at the waist joint of the queen ant is constantly growing new carapace, and then its body is tightly connected with the insect's abdomen...
Not only was the broken hard carapace on the queen ant's body healing rapidly, but the six broken legs also formed a thick dura mater. Surdak even saw a bulge bulging outward in the transparent dura mater.
, those should be the legs that the queen ant is about to regenerate.
Amid the screams, the queen ant's body burst out with majestic vitality.
The huge insect belly was not as quiet as before. The entire insect belly began to squirm continuously. Hundreds of white striped windows were arranged around the insect belly. Through these fluorescent white windows, Surdak could even see clearly.
The fraternal eggs are neatly arranged in the insect's belly.
"I can feel that its soul has at least doubled in size. This section of the worm's belly not only retains strong vitality and resilience, but also retains a part of the soul that the queen separated..." Elder Bai Jide said with a look on his face.
Standing calmly next to Surdak, looking up at the body of the huge ghost-striped ant queen, he said to Surdak.
Surdak didn't expect Elder Baijid to say this. He didn't understand it for a while, so he asked casually:
"Does that mean that when its body was split into two, its soul was also torn apart?"
Elder Bai Jide took a step further, reached out and gently stroked the rough and mottled outer skin of the insect's abdomen, and said affirmatively:
"At least part of it is left. However, after the soul that dominates the body was severely damaged, the part of the soul that remained in the belly of the worm became relatively stronger. It is precisely this part of the soul that did not sign a contract with us. This is what I am most worried about.
thing."
Surdak's heart trembled slightly, and he asked Elder Bai Jide in a deep voice: "Then what should we do?"
Great Elder Baijid has now become the spokesperson of this world tree, and Surdak is also happy to communicate in this way.
Elder Bai Jide quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry too much. I'm going to place some seals here, and then lock it with shackles. Finally, I will come to check the seal situation every once in a while."
Surdak then said: "I can prepare some iron ropes and lock its body firmly here..."
Immediately afterwards, Great Elder Baijid led several Druid elders to set up a sealing array in the cave. The druids were well prepared and brought with them some magic materials and magic crystals used in the sealing array. Although there were many
The magic materials are very primitive. They are just carving some magic patterns on several boulders around the cave, and then inlaying magic crystals into them.
At best, this kind of magic circle can suppress some of the power of the ghost-marked ant queen and confine the ghost-marked ant queen in this cave. Once the queen leaves the cave, the sealing magic circle will activate an early warning.
The most important thing to restrain this ghost-striped ant queen is to rely on the soul contract signed the day before yesterday.
This time, Surdak and Elder Baijid mainly wanted to know the situation inside the ghost-striped red ant cave. Now it seems that the entire red ant group has not weakened in this war.
Then, next, it means that the tribal aboriginals and the Surdak Lord Army will further reduce the number of ghost-marked red ants.
The red ants that will bear the brunt of the reduction will be the personal guards who follow the ghost-striped ant queen, because these soldier ants and male ants are all second- and third-level monsters. Not only do they have magic cores in their heads, but they can also
The decomposed magic materials also have high economic value.
Seeing that the queen ant returned to the cave and once again became a machine for producing ghost-striped red ants, Surdak and his team had completed their trip to explore the ant nest.
By the time Surdak returned to the surface, a large number of tribal aboriginal warriors had already arrived at the center of the Dark Worm Valley.
Surdak's Lord Army was ordered to station in the cave and did not enter the Dark Worm Valley in large numbers. Only the Constructed Knights entered the central area of the Worm Valley and set up camp on the grassland vacated around the World Tree.
The tribal aboriginal warriors who came to the Dark Worm Valley lived on this grassland. Some skilled aborigines even woven some straw mats out of some withered grass. However, there were very few trees in the Dark Worm Valley.
There are huge mushroom forests everywhere, and many giant mushrooms have become lignified. These aborigines found some giant mushrooms close to the World Tree, and used their kitchen knives and axes to chop out holes in these giant mushrooms.
Open the door.
What Surdak didn't expect was that these giant mushroom umbrella columns were actually empty inside. Apart from a musty smell, with a little cleaning, people could actually live inside.
Surdak immediately began to count the number of injured people in this battle with the commanders of each lord's army. This time the ant queen led her personal guards to fight with the lord's army at the entrance of the cave. Not only the tribe's indigenous warriors fought
Thousands of people died, and the Lord's Army also suffered heavy casualties. More than a thousand Lord's Army soldiers were killed by the Queen Ant alone on the battlefield.
Fortunately, the native tribes left some Druid elders behind, and they treated many wounded soldiers during the battle.
Now the commanders of the Lord Army follow the Constructed Knights into the valley, and large groups of ghost-patterned soldier ants can be seen everywhere. If Surdak and Yggdrasil hadn't teamed up to capture the Ghost-patterned Ant Queen, would the Lord Army have been able to obtain it?
This battle is ultimately won, but the outcome is really uncertain...
The reason is that the number of the red ant army here is much larger than the commander of the Lord Army expected.
Although it seems like spring inside the Dark Worm Valley, it is still the harsh winter season outside the valley. The first thing Surdak needs to arrange this time is to order a large number of iron chains from the merchant group accompanying the army.
When building the iron cable bridge between the cave and the stone arch bridge, Suldak asked Suijun Merchant Group to prepare a large number of chains. Moreover, there were not many iron chains used in the cave and stone arch bridge. Suijun Merchant Group still had some stocks here.
, but if these chains alone want to lock the ghost-striped ant queen with a body size of three to four hundred meters, the chains in the inventory of the military commercial aviation are still far from enough, so the merchants can only let the merchants send the news back to Bena City and continue to customize a large number of iron ropes.
After the ghost-striped ant queen reunites, according to Suldak's vision, at least hundreds of shackles will be needed to imprison the ghost-striped ant queen in the center of the ant nest.
The second thing Surdak did was to conduct large-scale treatment of the wounded soldiers of the Lord's Army. He also took this opportunity to allow the Lord's Army to rest and recuperate on a large scale, and to take this opportunity to allow the Lord's Army soldiers to rely on their personal merits.
Exchange the prizes on the merit list, magic crystals, gold coins, etc.
This can be regarded as a large-scale battle reward event, and it is also a rare opportunity to make money for the Suijun Merchant Group, because in order to fulfill his promise, Suldak displayed almost all the good things brought by the Suijun Merchant Group.
, whichever one the Lord Army soldiers choose can be redeemed with merit points, and then the Lord Army Logistics Department negotiates with the merchants to pay for it.
Therefore, the types of reward materials this time are extremely rich. Even if you don’t need these prizes, they can be exchanged for magic crystals or gold coins...
