The ant colony country in the depths is busy but quiet. All acidophilic ants do not speak. As a whole, except for the queen can use telepathy to transmit information, other ants communicate by colliding with each other's antennae.
The environment of the entire ant kingdom is so intricate, as the corpse pit for the treatment of sick and dead ants is at the deepest part of the cave. Zhou Qingfeng is in a place where there are dozens of meters or hundreds of meters underground, looking up at the aisles and buildings that are horizontal and vertical.
Glowing moss and ground flora are everywhere, and they are responsible for providing air conversion to ants. There is plenty of spring water in the dark river to ensure that all ants will not die of thirst. Food, air and water, the ecological cycle constitutes the perfect balance.
But now this balance is broken by a plague.
The queen enters the heavily guarded spawning room, but telepathy goes along with the entire nest. Zhou Qingfeng was following a few worker ants to the hatchery, because there was unprecedented trouble there.
In the past, acidophilic ants suffered from 'rot disease', but they continued to multiply to fight the spread of the plague. But now this curse-like illness appears on the unhatched ant eggs, and it rings the death knell for the entire ant colony.
After watching Justin and Mondino's so-called plague study, Zhou Qingfeng was disappointed with them. The priest would only ask the gods, and if the gods did not reply, they would be helpless.
The necromancer's methods were also incomprehensible, and they asked how the soul got sick. If the ants can answer, is the queen extremely desperate?
As for the others
The 'shadow shadow' walking around shows that they saw another group of strangers in the ant nest. But the queen refused to disclose the information of those people, and only asked Zhou Qingfeng to find out a way to quell the plague, otherwise everyone would be finished.
"I am so distressed, Lao Tzu is not a veterinarian." Zhou Qingfeng thought wildly, "No, ants are not under the control of the veterinarian. God knows what is going on with the plague? Viruses? Bacteria? Parasites? Who is the source of transmission? What is the transmission route ? "
Just look at the history of world civilization and you know how terrible infectious diseases are. Countless civilizations and races have fallen apart because of that invisible curse. Human beings have a deep fear of the plague in the torment of disease.
The incubation room arrived, a big cave. Dense ant eggs are densely packed on the ground inside the hole, and look like shaped eggs. A large number of worker ants are responsible for taking care of these unborn baby ants, constantly entering and leaving.
When exposed to glowing moss, healthy ant eggs have a milky luster, and infected ones have dark spots.
"Is there only one hatchery?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
The queen's telepathy went directly into the brain. "There are twelve hatching rooms."
"Are all infections in the hatcheries?"
"Yes."
"Are the worker ants responsible for caring for ant eggs showing signs of infection?"
"Have."
"Hell. Don't you know that infected and uninfected people should be separated?"
"It didn't work, we tried it earlier. However, infected ant eggs continue to appear, even more. Even if the ant eggs just produced are completely closed, corrupted black spots will appear after a period of time. "
Zhou Qingfeng got stuck instantly. In addition to his terrible knowledge of infectious diseases, the infected people must be isolated. But what if isolation is useless?
"Can you tell me, in recent years, the number of 'rot diseases', susceptible groups, and locations. I want to analyze the data." Zhou Qingfeng put forward new requirements, and he hopes to know more about this invisible curse information.
however
Chaotic footsteps from the rear interrupted Zhou Qingfeng's communication with the queen. He turned around and saw several humans with different clothes but high toes appear before him.
For the first person, he had a long, thin face, curly eyes, a cloak, and a slow pace. When he came up, he smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Qingfeng with a playful eye. Several of the followers behind him were quite tall, with the smell of fox and fake tigers in their eyes.
"You are Victor Hugo?" ‘Skinny Face’ is taller than Zhou Qingfeng, and he asked with his chin,
I ’ve heard of you and your village.
Zhou Qingfeng frowned, and asked the queen queen, "Who is this person?"
"I don't know, I don't care," said the queen. "I'm sure now that our community alone can't solve the plague problem. Anyway, I got you into the ant's nest, so it doesn't matter if I get more.
These people seem to be following you. I asked my people to surround them. After explaining the situation, they also entered my lair just as obediently as you. No matter who it is in the future, as long as it is close to our lair, all will be caught in. "
It sounds like an adventurer in the same trouble. Everyone is out of luck and should help each other. But where did these pride come from?
The queen queried, "These guys seem to know you, and asked me if I had caught a team led by a teenager?"
Zhou Qingfeng was even more strange. The people across the street took the initiative to identify themselves.
A servant stood on the side, and said loudly, "Lord Hugo, in front of you is the son of the windwind city leader Columfel. Long-legged son, a direct descendant of Northland hero 'Long-legged' Levin, with a noble blood Marbury .Long-legged lord. "
Zhou Qingfeng frowned, with only a faint sentence: "I haven't heard of it, what are the long legs? Why is there such a weird last name? Are the legs of your family very long?"
‘Skinny face’ changed, and his followers were even more angry. The queen's voice came to mind again, "I advise you to calm down. There is nothing high and low in me, who can solve the problems of our ethnic group, who can live."
Zhou Qingfeng pressed the hilt of his sword, and the other party dared to move. He absolutely magnified and killed. It is only that the ant colonies near the hatchery gradually converge, which constitutes a real deterrent. No one on either side dared to start, and in the end could only stare.
‘Slim face’ also takes people into the hatchery of the ant nest. A guy dressed as a wizard stood behind him, picked up an infected ant's egg, and observed repeatedly. He himself shouted, "The notes left by my noble ancestors mentioned the curse of the ant colony.
Fortunately, I remember what it was. The ancestors once proposed a concept to lift. He wrote in the corner of the page, ‘I have a wonderful idea, but unfortunately the page is too small to write. ’"
After that, ‘skinny face’ looked proudly at Zhou Qingfeng. At this moment he seemed to possess light, Zhizhu was holding it, and he was in control. This posture has been maintained for a long time.
Uncle Zhou was really stunned for a while, but after waiting for a long time without waiting, he had to take the initiative to ask, "Then what a clever idea?"
‘Skinny face’ is still looking up, as if this question does n’t need to be answered at all,
Everyone says‘ ca n’t write, ’it ’s‘ ca n’t write.
"I ask you what ideas you have to solve the problem?"
"My ancestors said, 'Can't write.'"
"What idea is this good? So you don't know."
"It shows the nobility of our family blood."
"Your brain is malformed on your thighs, so is your surname 'long legs'?"
"This is a shame on our family's reputation, and I will fight you."
Neither side has a good temper, and they are fighting again. The ant colony had to forcibly separate the two.
Rather, the wizard holding the research on ant eggs said with a smile: "Lord Marbury, I think I have found a solution. My alchemy can be equipped with some unique potions, and this curse can be broken."
"Slim and long face" was overjoyed and gave Zhou Qingfeng a vicious look again. The queen queen was immediately warm to them, asking them to solve it as soon as possible, and promised that they could do everything in their power to meet any requirements of the solver.
Watching this inexplicable group of guys leave with high toes, Zhou Qingfeng was so angry that he had more intense survival pressure. He asked Cyric: "Don't you say that this curse is unsolved? After a few glances at Mao, they said there was a way."
Cyric has been dumb recently and dare not speak.
The gods are not omnipotent!
