Chapter 431： Queen's request

After a while, Mike and others appeared in a dim and humid environment.

Mike reacted swiftly the first time they landed, and a transparent shield silently shrouded them in front of them.

This was entirely Mike's instinctive reaction, but it caused serious distress to someone on the scene.

"My lord! Oh! You guys are finally here...Bang...Ah!"

Hearing this series of familiar voices, Mike and others lit their wands one after another. When the light reappeared, everyone saw that they were now in a damp and closed cave, not far away. At that point, the twenty-fifth boy of the Avery family was squatting on the ground with his nose in his hands, screaming constantly.

"This guy, did he hit the armor body?"

Franklin asked with some doubts, but after hearing that Mike and the others all had a dumbfounding expression.

Shaking his head blankly, McGregor quietly unfolded his mental power. Through the perspective effect of magical perception, he can clearly perceive that the cave he is currently in is actually a super large transfer station in the underlying space. , With this cave as the center, there are a lot of small roads leading to various places, which makes Mike worry about it, knowing that they are racing against time now, there is no time to explore this cave at all.

When Mike and others were in trouble, a strange thing appeared silently in Mike's perception.

"Fuchsia!"

Mike almost instinctively shot a fuchsia clock in the direction of the object.

Mike's spell flew extremely fast, and the naked eye could not see any trajectory at all, and it hit the enemy almost as soon as he uttered the spell.

Franklin and Benjamin also realized that someone had invaded. The two of them approached the enemy vigilantly with their wands that were constantly blooming, and it was not until they saw the true face of the hung enemy. Sighed.

"Mike, it's just an ant, but this ant is a bit strange. He is different from the soldier ants and worker ants we saw before. He actually has wings!" Benjamin reported what he saw, but he said Halfway through, he suddenly got excited, "Wait, Mike! His behavior is weird, he seems to be playing sign language with us!"

Hearing that Mike's expression became a little weird, he had to ask with certainty:

"Are you kidding me?"

"No! I dare to swear, he is really gesturing something constantly. Damn it, do any of us know sign language?"

Sign language is such an extremely niche language, Mike and the others are naturally not, but Benjamin’s words still made Mike a curiosity. He and Arthur walked over in stride, and they saw a black and shiny body. And the huge ant with wings on its back is being dumped.

His situation is strange, he neither struggles nor intends to attack Mike and others.

He was just hanging there quietly, using the pair of slender antennae on top of his head and the pair of forelimbs on his abdomen to make constant gestures.

Seeing this, Mike waited for you to look at me, and I looked at you, all at a loss.

In the end, Mike pulled the twenty-fifth boy who was still holding his nose on the ground, pointed at the ant and said:

"Do you understand?"

"Uh, this...this he seems to..."

"get out!"

Kicking away the twenty-fifth boy who obviously didn't understand but wanted to make up some information to fool him, Mike decided to use the most stupid way.

"Admiralty fell to the ground."

Following the curse, the flying ant fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Benjamin and others on the side raised their wands and pointed them at him. As long as he had a little sign of attacking, what awaited him would be cruel death.

It’s just that the ant is obviously different. After landing, he first stood up slowly and knelt down on one knee to Mike, then got up, nodded at Mike, and reached out to one of the caves. Dark passage.

"He is... give us directions again?"

Arthur said in disbelief, he still couldn't accept it until now, an ant could have such a high level of wisdom.

Franklin was obviously not as hypocritical as he was. He stared straight at the ant, but he slowly approached Mike and said:

"Should we trust him?"

Facing Franklin's inquiry, Mike fell silent.

He looked at the non-expressive face of the direct flying ant covered with a carapace and the big dark black eyes reflecting the light, and finally said:

"Follow him, anyway, we don't know the right way now."

As soon as the voice fell, Mike took the lead and walked towards the passage pointed by the ant.

And when Benjamin and others saw it, they followed him.

No way, Mike is their boss. Although they still feel that something is not right in their hearts, since their boss has spoken, he can only follow.

The ant saw Mike walking in the direction he was pointing, and patted his paw with excitement. Then he flapped his wings and came to the front of Mike and started to lead Mike.

Under his leadership, Mike and the others turned one after another and passed one fork after another.

During the period, Mike left a unique magic mark on every fork. If he didn't do this, it is estimated that they would not be able to get out in their entire life based on the complexity of this underground passage.

I don't know how long it took, until Mike felt a little impatient, a brand new cave finally appeared in front of everyone.

Different from the previous dimness, the cave is very bright, and the light source that brings light here is the numerous luminous mushrooms that grow freely on the walls of the cave. The light emitted by these mushrooms is not very bright, but countless mushrooms are combined in Together they illuminate the entire cave.

But the most eye-catching thing in the cave is not the shining mushrooms, but a huge figure in the deepest part of the cave!

It was a huge ant that was tens of meters high and almost reached the top of the cave. Her abdomen was extremely huge, almost occupying most of her body, and the snow-white abdomen was still glowing under the shining pale light around her. This kind of weird luster, just like jade.

The front end of her body is not much different from a normal ant except that it is too huge. The pair of huge but blunt giants are open and close together, which makes people feel an inexplicable heart palpitation.

Mike recognized her true identity almost as soon as he saw her-the queen!

And in front of this super-large queen ant, there was also a human wearing a trench coat.

The human emotion seemed a little unstable, and he was waving his arms and roaring at the queen ant.

The flying ant who led the way for Mike and the others came silently to a shadow place not far from the queen after reaching the cave.

There are densely gathered a large number of worker ants, soldier ants and flying ants.

Mike looked intently and saw that a hole-shaped device was installed on the top of the cave far away from the shadow, in which snow-white mushroom residues were constantly falling down, and the work of the worker ants was to remove these mushroom residues. Collect them as food for the queen.

‘The funnel should go straight to the huge mushroom residue pool on the first floor of the ant factory, and this cave should also be underground! ’

Having made this conclusion, Mike quickly retracted his gaze, and then he raised his hand and quickly made two tactical gestures.

"Sneak, attack."

Soon, Mike and the others disappeared in the same place, entered a state of invisibility and walked in the direction of the human wizard.

Along the way, Mike and the others encountered a large swarm of ants lying prone. They originally planned to go around, but the rare flying ants seemed to have a certain keen ability to break through, and they commanded when Mike and others approached. The other ants got out of the way.

Seeing this, Mike and the others did not hesitate, and followed the road unobstructed by the ants all the way to the person's back.

...

"Lilith, I tell you, it’s no good to be right with us. We have at least a hundred ways to make you die without knowing how you died! So now, immediately, send your ants to me. Attack those intruders!"

Inside the cave, the human wizard looked very angry. He waved his arms desperately and roared at the huge monster above his head.

However, his roar did not receive any response. The huge monster just looked at him so quietly. The trembling tentacles and the strange black light in his eyes gave him a strange feeling that the other party was laughing at him.

This made him even more angry, and saw that he took his wand out of his arms and pointed it at the monster above his head.

However, at this moment, a strange voice came from behind him.

"Good evening, Mr. Avery."

The human wizard suddenly changed his expression, turning around and wanted to attack backwards.

However, it was too late.

"Except for your weapons!" "Fuchsia!"

Two spells were fired from the wands of Franklin and Benjamin at the same time. One left and the other hit the wizard, causing him to be thrown away while the wand flew out.

Upon seeing this, the tentacles of the queen ant above his head were shaking faster, as if she was gloating at the moment.

Without hesitation, after subduing the human wizard, Mike pointed his wand at the queen ant above the crowd for the first time.

This behavior caused all the surrounding ants to riot. They screamed and swarmed, but they dared not really attack Mike and others.

As for the queen, when Mike's wand was pointed at her, she froze like a petrification curse, and the pair of antennae on top of her head no longer tremble.

The scene quieted strangely, and at this moment, a voice suddenly rose in Mike's heart.

"Dear wizard, please don't hurt me, we are friends."

This is a very gentle and young female voice, and it seems to have some kind of magic power. It not only penetrates the Occlumency built by Mike and transmits it directly to Mike’s brain, but it also seems to have a certain ability to soothe the heart. Mike felt peaceful for no reason.

Mike felt his heart and looked at the huge queen ant above his head and said:

"Are you talking?"

"Yes, my friend."

"I don't think we are friends." Mike said teasingly, still pointing at the queen with the wand in his hand, "After all, this is the first time we have met."

"Oh, this really saddens me. I thought we were friends." A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the huge queen, and then he twisted his head and said, "But it doesn't matter. , I think it’s not too late for us to get to know each other, and I believe you will be willing to be friends with me, after all, I have given you a lot of help."

Hearing that Mike shook his head somehow:

"You mean the flying ant who led us? I admit that he did save me some trouble, but it's just some. If you want to be my friend, it's not enough."

"I noticed that you just used ‘him’ to call my guard. This is a good sign of our friendly exchanges. It shows that you are a good person and I like it very much."

The queen seems to be really happy. She waved her tentacles happily, her mouthparts were still making squeaking noises, and the surrounding ants all quieted down after hearing this sound~www.novelhall .com~fading slowly.

However, Mike remained unmoved, still standing straight.

"Well, powerful wizard, although you may not have noticed it, we are actually helping you all the time. Don't you feel strange? Why is the defense of this secret realm so weak that those wizards have not Set up any guard posts, instead they all gather in the building above us?

The reason is simple, it is not necessary at all. Because the brain of every ant in this secret realm is linked to me, I can clearly perceive everything they see. This is equivalent to all ants are my eyes, as long as an intruder enters, I will immediately notify the wizard upstairs, and at the same time mobilize all my children to attack the intruder.

Remember the worker ant you met when you first came in? In fact, I have found you since then, but I didn't do anything. Instead, I let the child guide you and lead you to your destination. Do you think this kind of help is not great? "

After chewing the queen carefully, Mike nodded thoughtfully, and then chuckled:

"I admit, this is indeed a big help. But what about it? As I said at the beginning, even if you provide help, we just need to spend more time in order to win. That's it. Besides, the main reason why you helped us is actually to take our hands to get rid of your master, the Avery family, right? After all, their attitude towards you is not good."

As soon as this remark came out, the lively tentacles on the queen's head, which had been restored, froze again, and the surrounding ants also gathered again. The dense squeaking noise made people shiver!
