Chapter 0228 Ant Colony Destruction
If you want to change the world, you should change yourself first.
Standing at the top of the ancient hills, Zhou Qingfeng overlooked the entire surface of the ruins of Yinye City, and could not see anything. A large fire broke out in the distance just a few kilometers away, illuminating a small area.
When you have enough food, the goblins will find a tree nest to go to bed. They will crawl out when they are hungry and then crawl out to find food. On weekdays, they rely on mushrooms, reptiles and other foods to survive. This time, the acidic ants exploded, and they were very happy.
In the competition of comprehensive strength, the acidic ants who lost the money hid in the dungeon. But after all, it was not the ant nest that the ants had managed for decades. The goblins were hungry and were busy in the middle of the night, constantly throwing the lit firewood into the dug passage.
Under the raging fire, the acidic ants guarding the passage were either roasted or fumed to death. Their continuous death impact could only scare the goblins away for a while, and the green-skinned monster that only remembered for five minutes would repeatedly harass them.
So the acidophilic ants could only retreat deep into the dungeon, or dig ventilation tunnels elsewhere. But none of these could fundamentally solve the problem.
The dungeon area is the old nest of the Magru tribe, where tens of thousands of goblins gather. No one is more familiar with this place than them. No matter how many vents the acidophila digs, they will be discovered immediately, and the burning wood will be thrown away in a short while.
The dungeon is a natural defense and a natural barrier. Without air, the remaining acidic ants can only be suffocated to death below. So they can only fight back in vain, break through, trap, and repeat.
From day to night, and from night to day. Faced with increasingly serious losses, the queen of the ant had to announce in her spiritual connection to negotiate, and then expressed her conditional surrender, and finally she was unconditional willing to die.
"Victor Hugo, I know you have raised a new queen. If you win, I can die and give you the remaining colony. Take everything, just keep our colony."
From the depths of the dungeon, the current queen goes from hysterical mania to helpless begging for mercy. It consumes its soul and emits uninterrupted spiritual connections, only seeking a decent ending.
Zhou Qingfeng, who was standing on the top of the ancient tree hills, refused to respond. Beside him, the new ant queen "Dahong" was repeatedly waving her tentacles, seemingly confused about the spiritual information she received. As for the acidic ant controlled by it, she was at most a little restless.
The wishes of Goddess Angeris were hard to disobey, and she begged for mercy for a night. Until a few days later, Zul Grayskin happily ran back and forth, saying that his goblins found a temporary excavated ant nest in the military camp of the dungeon.
In addition to a large number of suffocating and suffocating ants in the nest, there was also a white and fat queen. Unfortunately, the goblins immediately fought for the corpse when they found out that the queen and finally ate it completely without even leaving a residue.
"I understand." Zhou Qingfeng was sitting on a stone, holding a book called "The Record of Wisdom Races", which mentioned some anecdotes and unofficial history that were buried in the long river of time. One of them was very interesting to him.
‘In many ancient empires that had perished papermaking almost all appeared. When papermaking replaces parchment on a large scale, and can spread civilization at a cheap and convenient manner, unstoppable disasters will occur.’
At the end of the article, I wrote a sentence in rough font: Papermaking is a taboo, and printing is also so!
I don’t know who wrote this booklet, and even the author’s name was left behind. But considering the time when the ‘Gate of True Knowledge’ appeared, someone raised this point at least a thousand years ago.
Zhou Qingfeng laughed and looked at the old goblin who came to inform him, and asked: "For those acidophile ants, have they encountered an irresistible catastrophe?"
"Of course." The old goblin nodded.
"The demon army that invaded the Northland fifty years ago was also an irresistible disaster."
The old goblin nodded again.
"Those empires that suddenly declined at the peak of national strength over the past few thousand years have also faced various disasters."
This time the old goblin didn't nod, and it didn't understand at all. However, Cialique, who had been silent, cursed angrily: "Boy, what do you want to say? Don't think that you understand a lot after reading some history books. Your ignorance and imagination are too ridiculous."
"I was wondering how to avoid the invisible mastermind."
"There is no mastermind behind the scenes. The decline of those civilizations is something they have sought. The tragedy is caused by the arrogance, greed, arrogance, and uncontrolled ambition of the rulers. They would not have been like this if they could control it."
"Cirick, why are you so excited suddenly? God of Murder, is your lie clergy back? I didn't ask you at all, but you came out to argue. Could it be that I guessed what right?"
"You" Cialek's anger did come suddenly. After forcibly suppressing it, he said in a deep voice: "Mortals, you don't understand the greatness of the gods at all. Without us, this world would have been destroyed long ago."
"I don't think so." Zhou Qingfeng stood up to clean up the "Gate of True Knowledge" and said to Zul Graypi: "Let your subordinates exit the dungeon and don't make trouble in it. Otherwise, there will be any curse, and the acidic ant is a role model."
The old goblin agreed with this, "Where is the business you discussed before?"
Zhou Qingfeng took out a wolf skin, "Next I will build a road to you. If you transport the raw materials recorded on the wolf skin to my Harmony Village, I will provide you with some weapons and medicines."
“Can food be provided?”
"Maybe there are a small amount, but don't expect too much, I'm short of it myself."
"Do you want to recruit some bear goblin mercenaries? It's very cheap, just feed them."
"No, it's too hard to feed them."
The old goblin tried to make more profits as much as possible, and even sold his own tribe. However, it had too few chips on hand, so Zhou Qingfeng didn't like it at all. Simply put, it was just too poor and had no oil or water at all.
After completing the second mission of Goddess Angeris, Zhou Qingfeng also had to leave the elf ruins. When he left, he was considered a mighty man, with more than two thousand surrendered acid ants rushing in and out of the way for him.
Previously, more than 300,000 acidophilic ants were pouring out like a tide, and a wide open area of hundreds of meters in the Black Forest was opened. Zhou Qingfeng's way home was to use more than 2,000 acidophilic ants to level the road again, even if it was a road to be built.
On the way back, the remaining ant colony returned to the original ant nest. Many of the ant eggs left before were moved out, and the seedlings of glowing moss and underground mushrooms were also brought.
The previous ant colony was able to produce more than 300,000 yuan, all relying on these two plants. Uncle Zhou even tried to eat a few bites by himself, and the taste was definitely not good, but at least it wouldn't be dying.
