Chapter 427: Ant factory

Now appearing in front of Mike and others is a mushroom forest that is much sparser than before, but unlike before, the reason why the mushroom forest in front of everyone is so sparse is entirely man-made.
Oh no!
To be precise, it should be ants.
Because what appeared in front of Mike and others at this moment was a busy construction site scene, countless huge ants were shuttled in the mushroom forest, constantly gnawing the rhizomes of those tall mushrooms.
And once those tall mushrooms are bitten by them, ants will naturally come and haul these mushrooms to the open space further north.
Under their cooperative work, the mushroom forest, which should have been very dense, is now sparse. There are only small mushrooms less than one person tall and countless short and thick mushroom roots remaining on the ground.
"You really guessed it, these ants are really lumberjacks!"
Benjamin spoke slowly in a voice almost like a dream. Franklin would surely jump up happily if he was always approved by the wise man like Benjamin, but at this moment Franklin looked at the scene in front of him with a bewildered expression and said nothing. Does not come out.
While everyone was startled by the scene before him, Mike took a deep breath and took a step towards this ‘lumbering site’!
Through observation, he was almost certain that although these ants had terrifying power, they had the same weakness as living corpses-fear of spells and high temperatures.
Armed with this information, Mike lost fear of this ant.
From the previous performance of the ant kneeling, Mike also came up with a very strange conjecture.
While ensuring his own safety, Mike started to prove his thoughts without hesitation.
But his move made Benjamin and others startled. The fifty elite wizards almost instinctively raised their wands, and Arthur yelled to Mike in a low voice, and pulled out directly after receiving no response. The sword ran toward Mike's direction!
The action behind him naturally also alarmed Mike, he turned around suddenly, put his index finger in front of him, and made a silent gesture.
Arthur's body froze in place, and when he saw Mike, he continued to walk towards the'lumbering site'.
One step, two steps, three steps...
As the distance between Mike and the ants gets closer and closer, the ants who are working hard have finally discovered Mike, a human who has left his invisible state and walked upright towards them.
Arthur's hand squeezed the hilt fiercely, and for a while, as long as there was something wrong, he would disregard Mike's order and make a bold move, cutting all these disgusting ants into pieces.
However, he should not have this opportunity.
Because as soon as they found Mike, all the ants on the ‘construction site’ took the initiative to stop their work, and just like the previous ant, they knelt down in the direction of Mike.
Mike smiled very happily. He spread his arms in the direction of the ants, as if an emperor was enjoying the bow of his people to him!
Everything in front of me has proved my conjecture, these ants kneeling in front of me are definitely trained!
Otherwise, how could an ant know how to bow down to humans?
At this time, a person hiding in the shadow also came out, looking at the neatly bowed ants, their faces were all surprised.
"How is this going?"
Arthur gasped and said in surprise, his hand still clutching the silver sword.
"As you can see, these'lumberjacks' have the habit of bowing to people." Mike said with a smile, "Do you know what this means?"
"That means there is a wizard behind them teaching them?"
"Bingguo! That's right!" Mike snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "If I didn't guess wrong, those wizards should be the target of our trip. And now that we have encountered these'lumbers' then It means we will reach our destination soon."
After that, the smile on Mike's face disappeared, replaced by a serious face, and said to everyone:
"We are about to arrive at the battle site, and all of us will enter the fighting state. The concealment mode is fully open, and we must also remember to cover the smell. Those ants are very sensitive to smell, you know?"
No one responded to Mike's words, which is already a rule in the team.
Everyone acted as soon as they received the order and quickly entered a hidden state!
In an instant, the small empty space that was still standing next to Mike was vacant, and everyone disappeared.
The corners of Mike's mouth rose up, he took a deep breath, looked at the wide plains in the north, and quietly entered a state of invisibility.
When he disappeared, the ants who were still kneeling on the ground were all confused.
The two long tentacles on their heads kept trembling, as if searching for the temperature factor in the air, but after a long period of inquiries, these ants finally gave up.
They all got up one by one, returned to their posts and became busy again, just as Mike and his party had never been before.
But what the ants did not notice was that on the side of the mushroom-carrying avenue among them, a series of tiny almost undetectable footprints continued to spread far away.
...
Mike and his party are walking along the avenue where the ants are transporting mushrooms. They used the phantom spell to enter the invisible state, and also used the special deodorant made by Benjamin (this was originally made for Victor, he didn't like bathing, So it will be very smelly) The smell was taken out, so the ants who were hauling the mushrooms along the way did not find any trace of Mike and others at all.
This made Franklin a little proud, he even climbed up the huge mushrooms that were being dragged, sat on it and let the ants drag him around.
Mike naturally didn't care about his behavior, he would only laugh at Franklin with a smile, and then smiled off.
But Benjie obviously didn't think so. He stopped Franklin's behavior almost immediately, and waved his arms to give Franklin a silent education!
Seeing Franklin's wronged look, the tension in the team eased a lot, and many people laughed.
It's just that soon they can't laugh.
Because there was a new kind of ant that they had never seen before!
To be precise, it should be Ant-Man.
Because they were completely upright and covered with a layer of jet black beetle, a pair of huge black sawtooths joined together, and some mucus fell asleep and their movements continued to drip to the ground, making a sound of corrosion.
What shocked Mike and others the most was that these ants were still wearing clothes and holding weapons in their hands!
Although it was just a simple vest made of the fibers from the roots of mushrooms, and although it was just a simple bone spear made of the bones of unknown beasts, there is no doubt that these ant-men are intelligent and they have mastered it. The skill of using tools!
Mike and the others held their breath almost instinctively. Everyone knew that this seemingly intelligent ant man should be a soldier in this ant group.
These wise soldier ants will never salute these strangers stupidly. If they are discovered by these soldiers, then let’s not mention whether they can fight the siege of these soldiers. First of all, their infiltration plan is It will all sink!
Everyone continued to advance cautiously, and as the distance progressed farther and farther, the number of soldier ants appeared in front of everyone.
The job of these soldier ants seems to be to guard the worker ants. They stand on both sides of the avenue with their weapons, and their tentacles are still touching each other, as if they are chatting.
Fortunately, the perception ability of these ant people is not much stronger than those of the worker ants. Facing Mike and others who are trying their best to maintain a hidden state, they seem to be blind. This makes Mike and others feel unaware. Can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ten minutes later, a building finally appeared in front of Mike and others.
It was a featureless square building. It stood abruptly in the empty mushroom forest, and it seemed so incompatible with the surrounding scenery.
And as soon as he saw this building, Mike knew that the destination of their trip had arrived. Such a huge building with strong human characteristics was definitely not something that ants could create.
The people who can build this kind of building can only be humans, to be precise, wizards!
Everyone couldn’t help but speed up a lot. After so many strange things happened, the big guy’s nerves have always been in a highly tense state. Now they can’t wait to complete this mission and return to their base. Relax.
In a short while, everyone came to the bottom of this building. At the bottom of the building, there was an extremely spacious exit. This was also the end of the trip of the workers.
As soon as he entered the building, Mike found that there were a lot more soldier ants here. They held weapons one by one, staring at the worker ants hauling the tall mushrooms into the building, and then turned around and returned to the mushroom forest. Before restarting Hauling work.
And in the hall on the first floor of this square building, there are countless worker ants. They took the huge mushrooms brought by other ants. They used their sharp teeth to completely cut off the canopy and rhizome of the mushroom, and then removed the two parts of the mushroom. They were cut into small pieces of varying sizes and thrown into the two machines in this huge hall.
Among them, the rhizomes of the huge mushrooms are processed by the machine and turned into a trace of rough fibers and a pool of white flowers, and the umbrella covers are classified by the machine into different types of squares according to the different colors. sort.
Soon, another group of worker ants will swarm up and carry all these things away.
The fibers and umbrella blocks were transported upstairs, while the white paste made from rhizome waste was sprinkled by the worker ants in a pond in the lobby on the first floor.
At first, Mike thought it was just a waste pool, but when he discovered that from time to time there would be worker ants crawling on the edge of the pond and sucking the mushy juice in it, he realized that these mushy wastes are these worker ants. Our food, and this huge square building is a huge mushroom processing factory!
Good guy, let these worker ants feed themselves. Mike has almost convinced the pure-blood wizards who built this factory. This is even more black-hearted than him!
After visiting the work of these giant ants for a while, Mike and the others began to walk towards the second floor. Unlike the first floor where only soldiers ants guarded and barely defended, Mike just came to the stairs and found something very obvious. The magic prohibition.
Although I don't understand the real purpose of this magic ban, these simple magic bans are obviously not enough in front of Mike who has mastered all curses.
The prohibition was easily broken, and Mike and others finally came to the second floor smoothly.
The layout here is almost the same as that on the first floor. A huge platform is fully opened up with densely packed machines, and the worker ants holding various mushroom cubes and mushroom fibers are walking between these machines in an orderly manner. And finally put these raw materials into different machines.
After observation, Mike found that the fibers separated from the mushroom roots were thrown into an old, dirty machine, and then they were turned into rolls of white cloth.
These fabrics are very familiar to Mike. This is a special fabric called Avery Magic Cloth. It has excellent magic resistance and heat resistance, and is extremely tough. These excellent properties make it expensive. Mike et al. The lining of the combat uniform on the body uses this special fabric.
And those mushroom cubes of different colors will be crushed separately according to the pre-sorted colors, and mixed with many materials that Mike does not recognize, and finally made into bottles of viscous liquids of different colors.
Mike is also familiar with this stuff!
Avery magic liquid. They used these things when they were in the spell class last year~EbookFREE.me~ The blue magic liquid has the ability to improve the effect of the magic liquid, and the red one improves the success of the preparation. Probability, yellow is to improve the preservation time.
Like Avery Magic Cloth, these magic liquids should also be of great value, because Snape was very careful with them, and even warned everyone that they must not be overturned.
Both of these things are exclusively operated by a pure-blooded family named Avery. Since it is a monopoly industry, the price is understandable.
However, many people are very jealous of the huge profits of these two products, and they have used many methods to explore the production methods and raw materials origin of these things, but they all came back in vain.
Mike did not expect that today he actually discovered the production base of these two things!
Thinking of this, Mike's heart could not help but heat up.
If this base can be received intact, then the scale of the Los Santos Group will surely increase!
