Chapter 438 The Ant Queen's Request

After a while of spinning around, Mike and the others appeared in a dark and humid environment.

Mike reacted immediately after landing, and a transparent shield silently enveloped them.

This was Mike's instinctive reaction, but it caused serious trouble to someone at the scene.

"My Lord! Woohoo! You finally came... Bang... Ah!"

Mike and the others lit up their wands after hearing this series of familiar voices. When the light came back, they saw that they were now in a damp and closed cave. Not far away from them, the traitor of the Avery family was squatting on the ground with his hands covering his nose and screaming.

"Did this guy hit the armor guard?"

Franklin asked in confusion, and Mike and the others all looked at each other with a look of confusion.

Shaking his head expressionlessly, Mike silently unfolded his mental power. Through the perspective effect of magic perception, he could clearly perceive that the cave he was in was actually a super-large underground space transfer station. With this cave as the center, there were a lot of small paths leading to various places. This made Mike worried. You know, they are now racing against time and have no time to explore this cave bit by bit.

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

"Hanging golden bell!"

Mike almost instinctively shot a hanging golden bell in the direction of the object.

Mike's magic spell flew very fast, and the naked eye could not see any trajectory at all. It hit the enemy almost at the moment of reciting the spell.

Franklin and Benjamin also realized that someone had invaded. The two of them held up the magic wands that kept shining and slowly approached the enemy vigilantly. It was not until they saw the true face of the hanging enemy that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mike, it's just an ant, but this ant is a little strange. It's different from the soldier ants and worker ants we saw before. It actually has wings!" Benjamin reported what he saw, but he suddenly became excited halfway through, "Wait, Mike! His behavior is very strange. He seems to be signing with us!"

Mike's expression became a little strange after hearing this. He asked with some certainty:

"Are you kidding me?"

"No! I swear, he is really gesturing. Damn, does anyone here know sign language?"

Mike and others naturally don't know sign language, which is an extremely niche language, but Benjamin's words still made Mike curious. He and Arthur walked over with big strides, and sure enough, they saw a huge ant with a shiny black body and wings on its back being thrown down.

His situation was very strange. He neither struggled nor intended to attack Mike and others.

He was just hanging there quietly, gesturing with the pair of slender antennae on his head and the pair of forelimbs on his abdomen.

Seeing this, Mike and the others looked at each other, all at a loss.

Finally, Mike pulled the traitor who was still on the ground covering his nose over, pointed at the ant and said:

"Can you understand it?"

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

"Go away!"

Mike kicked away the traitor who obviously couldn't understand but wanted to make up some information to fool him, and decided to use the dumbest method.

"Golden Bell Falls."

As the spell was recited, the flying ant in the air fell to the ground with a bang.

Benjamin and others on the side all raised their wands and pointed at him. As long as he had the slightest sign of wanting to attack, he would be waiting for a cruel death.

But the ant was obviously different. After landing, he first slowly stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Mike, then stood up, nodded at Mike, and pointed his finger at a dark passage in the cave.

"Is he... showing us the way again?"

Arthur said in disbelief. Until now, he still couldn't accept that a mere ant could have such high intelligence.

Franklin was obviously not as hypocritical as him. He stared at the ant with his eyes fixed, but his body slowly approached Mike and said:

"Should we believe him?"

Faced with Franklin's question, Mike was silent.

He looked at the expressionless face of the flying ant covered with a shell, and the dark black eyes reflecting the light, and finally said:

"Let's go with 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.

Benjamin and others behind him followed him.

There was no way, Mike was their boss. Although they still felt that something was wrong in their hearts, since their boss had spoken, he could only follow.

The ant saw Mike walking in the direction he pointed, clapped his paws excitedly, then flapped his wings and came to Mike's front, and began to lead the way for Mike.

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

During this period, Mike left a unique magic mark at each fork. If he didn't do this, they would probably never get out of this underground passage in their lifetime.

It was unknown how long it took, until Mike felt a little impatient, a brand new cave finally appeared in front of everyone.

Unlike the previous dimness, this cave was very bright, and the light source that brought light here was the many glowing mushrooms growing wildly on the walls of the cave. The light emitted by these mushrooms alone was not very bright, but countless mushrooms combined together illuminated the entire cave. But the most eye

-catching thing in the entire cave was not the glowing mushrooms, but a huge figure in the deepest part of the cave!

It was a giant ant that was more than ten meters tall and almost reached the top of the cave. Its abdomen was extremely huge, occupying almost the entire body. Its snow-white abdomen also had a strange luster under the pale light around it, just like jade.

The front of its body was not much different from a normal ant except that it was too huge. Its pair of huge but blunt claws opened and closed left and right, making people feel an inexplicable palpitation.

Mike recognized her true identity almost the moment he saw her - the queen ant!

In front of this super-large queen ant, there stood a human in a windbreaker.

The human's emotions seemed a little unstable, waving his arms and roaring at the queen ant.

After arriving at the cave, the flying ant that led Mike and others quietly came to a shadow not far from the queen ant.

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

Mike looked closely and saw that there was a hole-shaped device installed on the top of the cave far away from the shadow, from which snow-white mushroom residues kept falling, and the job of those worker ants was to collect these mushroom residues as food for the queen ant.

'The funnel should lead directly to the huge mushroom residue pool on the first floor of the ant factory, and this cave should also be underground in the ant factory! '

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

"Stealth, attack."

Soon, Mike and others disappeared from the spot, entered the stealth state and walked towards the direction of the human wizard.

Along the way, Mike and others encountered large groups of crouching ants. They originally planned to go around them, but the rare flying ants seemed to have some kind of keen ability to break stealth. The moment Mike and others approached, they commanded other ants to make way.

Seeing this, Mike and others did not hesitate, and followed the path made by the ants all the way to the back of the man unimpeded.

...

"Lilith, I tell you, it's no good to go against us. We have at least a hundred ways to make you die without knowing how! So now, immediately, send your ants to attack those invaders!"

In 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 quietly. The constantly shaking tentacles and the strange black light in its eyes made him feel that the other party was laughing at him.

This made him even more angry. He pulled out his wand from 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's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and wanted to attack from behind.

However, it was too late.

"Expelliarmus!" "Hanging Bell!"

Two spells were fired from Franklin and Benjamin's wands at the same time, hitting the wizard on the left and right, causing him to fall down and his wand flew out.

Seeing this, the pair of antennae of the queen ant above his head trembled faster, as if she was gloating at the moment.

Without any hesitation, after subduing the human wizard, Mike immediately pointed his wand at the queen ant above everyone's head.

This action caused all the ants around to riot. They swarmed over with screams, but did not dare to really attack Mike and others.

As for the queen ant, when Mike pointed his wand at her, she froze as if she had been petrified, and the pair of antennae on her head stopped shaking.

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

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

This was a very gentle and young female voice, and it seemed to have some kind of magic. It not only penetrated the brain block constructed by Mike and was transmitted directly to Mike's brain, but also seemed to have some kind of ability to soothe people's hearts, making Mike feel a sense of peace for no reason.

Mike felt something in 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 with some sarcasm, and the wand in his hand was still pointing at the queen ant, "After all, this is the first time we meet."

"Oh, this really makes me sad, I thought we were already friends." A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the huge queen ant in a very human way, and then she twisted her head and said, "But it doesn't matter, I think it's not too late for us to get to know each other now, and I believe you will be willing to be friends with me, after all, I have given you a lot of help." Hearing this,

Mike shook his head and said,

"Are you referring to the flying ant who led us? I admit that he did save me some trouble, but it was only a little. If you want to be my friend, this is far from enough."

"I noticed that you used 'he' to refer to my guard just now. This is a good sign of our friendly communication. It shows that you are a good person. I like it."

The queen ant seemed really happy. She waved her antennae happily, and her mouthparts continued to make squeaking sounds. The surrounding ants all quieted down after hearing the sound and slowly faded away.

However, Mike was unmoved and still stood straight.

"Well, powerful wizard, although you may not realize it, we have been helping you all the time. Don't you feel strange? Why is the defense of this secret realm so weak? Those wizards did not set up any sentries, but gathered in the building above our heads?

The reason is simple, there is no need. Because the brain of every ant in this secret realm is connected to me, and I can clearly perceive everything they see. This is equivalent to all ants being my eyes. As long as there is an intruder entering, I will immediately notify the wizard upstairs and mobilize all my children to attack the intruder.

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

Chewing the words of the queen ant carefully, Mike nodded thoughtfully, and then chuckled:

"I admit that this is indeed a great help. But so what? As I said at the beginning, even with your help, it will only take us more time to win. Besides, the reason you helped us is mainly to use us to get rid of your master, the Avery family, right? After all, their attitude towards you is not very good."

As soon as these words were spoken, the antennae on the queen ant's head, which had originally regained their liveliness, froze again, and the surrounding ants gathered together again. The dense rustling sound made people's hair stand on end!
