On the way, Jiang Xuan saw dozens of giant red ants eating trees.
Their jaw teeth are very terrifying. They gnaw around the big tree and then gnaw away the bark. As they continue to gnaw, the trunk at the bottom of the big tree becomes smaller and smaller.
"boom!"
At a certain moment, these giant red ants ran away quickly, and then saw the big tree falling down.
After the big tree fell, these giant red ants ran over again and bit off all the branches and tail of the tree, turning the big tree into a straight log.
These dozens of giant red ants clung to the big tree with their mandibles and teeth. One of the ants climbed onto the trunk of the tree and was responsible for watching the road and directing, and then began to move the big tree in the direction of the tribe.
These giant red ants are extremely powerful and have a clear division of labor. They don't even need anyone to direct them, they can do the work themselves.
The efficiency is astonishingly fast.
It’s not just ants. Jiang Xuan saw some members of the ant tribe working similarly to ants, even walking in neat rows.
This is the first time Jiang Xuan has seen such a situation.
He walked a long way until he reached a place where the red ants could no longer be seen, and then he finally found two tourists.
The two tourists were very wary, but after Jiang Xuan gave them a piece of animal meat, their attitude finally improved a lot.
"Why are there no tourists living outside the red ant tribe?"
Jiang Xuan stood in front of the two tourists and asked the doubts in his heart.
The two tourists did not answer immediately, but unceremoniously tore into the animal meat Jiang Xuangang gave them, without even thinking of roasting it before eating it.
After they devoured it, one of the tourists finally said: "Because I can't survive."
"Can't survive?"
This was the first time Jiang Xuan heard this statement, and he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
The tourist continued: "The red ant tribe is different from other tribes. Those big ants will move everything around the tribe cleanly, not even a wild fruit or a wild vegetable."
"In a place like this, tourists simply can't survive and will starve to death."
Jiang Xuan suddenly realized what he said.
In short, the giant red ants in the red ant tribe are so powerful that as long as they are edible and usable, they will move them back to the tribe.
The forest has been cleared, how can tourists survive?
Jiang Xuan suddenly thought that when he left the crocodile tribe, Qingye's evaluation of the red ant tribe had only two words, and that was greed.
Judging from the current situation, the red ant tribe is indeed quite greedy.
Jiang Xuan asked the two tourists about the red ant tribe. After a while, flying ants flew across the sky. The two tourists, like frightened rabbits, got into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
, missing.
Jiang Xuan stood there, thinking about whether to continue to the Red Ant Tribe.
Judging from the current situation, the red ant tribe is so unfriendly that even tourists are unwilling to approach it.
Around the red ant tribe, Jiang Xuan couldn't see anyone from other tribes. This was a very abnormal situation.
Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and felt that if he left like this, wouldn't his visit be in vain?
You’re here, so let’s go in and take a look.
The red ant tribe can't attack directly indiscriminately, right?
Jiang Xuan took a look at the totem pattern on his arm and felt a little more confident.
He walked again in the direction of the red ant tribe's residential area, and along the way he specifically observed the various edible plants in the forest.
He found that larger edible plants were almost invisible, wild fruits were also very few, let alone animals, and even the number of insects was much less than in other places.
No wonder the two tourists said they couldn't survive here, the looting was too great.
Jiang Xuan continued to move forward. Not far away, there was a hunting team of hundreds of people from the red ant tribe, walking back.
These warriors either ride giant red ants or walk, carrying various prey items and moving forward quickly.
Like other members of the Red Ant tribe, these warriors were arranged neatly even when they were advancing, except for... a young man of about thirteen or fourteen years old.
This young man was carrying a deer, sometimes walking to the left, sometimes walking to the right, and sometimes even making a circle. Among these neat warriors of the red ant tribe, he looked very strange.
"Qie Ye, can you stop running around?"
The hunting leader accompanying the team looked at the young man helplessly, but there was nothing he could do to him.
The young man simply left the team, walked to the leader of the hunting team, and said: "We are going to the tribe soon. There is no danger here, why do we still have to line up?"
The leader of the hunting team said: "We, the warriors of the ant tribe, have always walked like this."
"It's always been this way, does it have to be right? I don't!"
The young man raised his eyebrows, then walked in a zigzag, in a circle, or jumped a few steps to the left and a few steps to the right, which made the leader of the hunting team's blood pressure rise sharply.
The soldiers next to him also frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with this boy.
Everyone is walking neatly, but there is an alien in the middle. Who can bear it?
However, there was nothing anyone could do to him. After all, he didn't make any mistakes when he was hunting. You couldn't just beat him up because he didn't walk neatly after arriving in the tribe's territory, right?
The young man was walking when he suddenly saw Jiang Xuan not far away. His eyes lit up and he handed the deer he was carrying to the leader of the hunting team and said, "There is a man over there. I'm going to see if he wants to hunt."
Our red ant tribe’s bad idea, please help me move this deer back.”
After saying that, the young man ran away quickly.
"Qie Ye, come back!"
The leader of the hunting team shouted angrily, but the boy ran away without looking back. There was nothing he could do.
A soldier next to him said: "Leader, forget it, this is already the territory of our red ant tribe anyway, and there are our people everywhere, so cutting leaves will not be in danger."
The leader of the hunting team thought about it, so he simply didn't care about the young man and continued to move forward with the team.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the boy did not cause trouble, the hunting team walked neatly again, which made the leader of the hunting team feel a lot more comfortable.
This made the leader of the hunting team dislike the young man even more, and secretly swore in his heart that he would not take him out for hunting next time without saying anything.
On the other side, Qie Ye carried a spear and quickly walked through the woods and came to the front of Jiang Xuan's direction. Then he climbed up a big tree and found a big branch to stand on.
Jiang Xuan had noticed this young man a long time ago, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he secretly increased his vigilance and wanted to see what this young man was going to do.
When he walked near the big tree, the boy on the tree suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Jiang Xuan stopped and looked up at the tree.
"Shashasha..."
"Boom!"
The boy on the tree suddenly jumped down, passed through the branches and leaves, and fell to the ground.
He squatted down to relieve the force of his fall, then bounced up like a compressed spring, holding a spear in his hand and aiming it at Jiang Xuan.
"Which tribe do you belong to? What are you doing in our red ant tribe?"
Jiang Xuan looked at this young man's movements and felt a little funny, because he remembered that the hero of Wagang Village who had robbed the road jumped out from the roadside like this.
It would be more vivid if he shouted, "I opened this road and planted this tree. I want to pass by here and leave money to buy the road."
"why are you laughing?"
The young man felt that he was being ridiculed, so he frowned and held the spear in his hand tighter.
"Don't get me wrong, I just thought of something funny." Jiang Xuan put away his smile.
The young man looked at the five warrior lines on Jiang Xuan's face and did not dare to be careless. He continued to shout: "Tell me, which tribe are you from? What are you doing in our Red Ant tribe?"
"I am from the Vine Tribe. I came from a remote place in the Southern Wilderness. I heard that the Red Ant Tribe is a large tribe in the central part of the country, so I wanted to come and visit and learn more about it."
"Long experience? Then you are in the right place."
When the young man heard Jiang Xuan's words, his expression suddenly became proud.
The Red Ant Tribe has a long history in the central region and is extremely powerful. People who live in the Red Ant Tribe have a sense of psychological superiority when facing those medium-sized tribes and small tribes.
At this age, the boy likes to show off, and Jiang Xuan's reasons successfully scratched his itch, making him want to immediately drag Jiang Xuan to see how powerful the Red Ant Tribe is.
The young man put away his spear and said, "My name is Qie Ye, what's your name?"
"My name is Xuan."
"Xuan, since you want to gain knowledge from the Red Ant Tribe, then come with me."
After Qie Ye finished speaking, he held his head high and walked forward first.
Jiang Xuan laughed dumbly and followed the young man unhurriedly.
At this time, two flying ants flew over the forest. Two ant tribe warriors were sitting on the flying ants' backs. They glanced at the ground and found that the one walking in front was Cut Leaf, so they left directly.
Jiang Xuan was a very attentive person, and he found that the boy's weapons were much better than those of ordinary warriors, and his animal skin clothing was also intact, with no holes except some stains.
There is also a string of animal tooth ornaments hanging around the young man's neck. The animal teeth are very large and polished very smooth.
In addition, considering that the boy is thirteen or fourteen years old, he actually has two warrior lines on his face.
In addition, after the cavalry on the Flying Ant saw the young man leading a tribesman from outside, they left without looking back.
There are various signs that this young man’s identity is unusual.
But since Qie Ye didn't say anything, Jiang Xuan wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
Only by allowing him to maintain the mystery of his identity and the sense of superiority facing outsiders can Jiang Xuan see more things with confidence.
As the two of them got closer to the place where the red ant tribe lived, Jiang Xuan saw more and more giant red ants of all kinds.
These giant red ants crawled around on the ground as if no one was around, busy carrying various things.
The body size is normal, and the ones responsible for moving things are worker ants.
Soldier ants have particularly large heads, particularly developed jaws and teeth, and relatively strong claws.
The flying ants flying around in the sky are also very different from the flying ants Jiang Xuan saw in his previous life.
They are not female ants responsible for laying eggs, but are equivalent to flying soldier ants.
The wings of these flying ants are very strong, no different from the wings of bees and dragonflies. Their jaws and teeth are also well developed, and their claws are also strong and powerful.
Jiang Xuan secretly remembered these giant red ants in his heart. If there is a conflict with the red ant tribe in the future, he must find a way to deal with these giant red ants first.
In addition to the giant red ants, Jiang Xuan saw more warriors and tribesmen from the red ant tribe.
When these people saw Jiang Xuan coming, they all looked at him with their eyes, but no one came up to ask or stop him.
Because Qie Ye was standing in front of him.
This made Jiang Xuan even more convinced that Qie Ye's status in the red ant tribe was unusual, and he might be the descendant of some important figure.
After approaching the residential area, Jiang Xuan finally saw the strange buildings of the red ant tribe up close.
These buildings are all made of mud and wood and look like a giant ant nest, which is very spectacular.
"This is the house of our red ant tribe. How about it? You haven't seen it before, have you?"
Qie Ye stood next to Jiang Xuan. He saw Jiang Xuan looking up at this huge building with a shocked expression on his face, and he felt very proud and satisfied.
"Come on, I'll take you inside to take a look."
Qie Ye continued to walk forward, and Jiang Xuan immediately followed. If it weren't for this young man who loves to show off, it might not be so easy for him to enter the ant tribe's residential area.
The roads in the ant tribe's residential area are just like winding tunnels. If someone who doesn't understand walks in, they will definitely get dizzy.
In addition to those mud castle-like buildings, Jiang Xuan also unexpectedly saw some withered white giant mushrooms.
Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "Are these mushrooms edible?"
Qie Ye said: "Our red ant tribe does not eat these mushrooms, but many white balls will grow from the roots of the mushrooms. Those balls are edible and very sweet."
After Jiang Xuan heard this, he felt very strange. Instead of eating mushrooms, it was really interesting to eat the balls at the roots of the mushrooms.
Jiang Xuan and Qie Ye continued to move forward, and he saw more strange things.
For example, there is a big-bellied kettle tree. The heart of the tree is filled with water, just like a water storage tank equipped with a purifier. It is very magical.
The people of the red ant tribe only need to insert a bamboo tube in the tree, and the water will flow out quickly from it. After collecting enough water, they can plug the bamboo tube with a cork.
Out of a desire to show off, Qianye filled a bamboo tube with water for Jiang Xuan and gave it to him to drink.
Jiang Xuan took a sip and his eyes suddenly lit up because the water tasted very sweet.
"How about it? You haven't seen such good things in other tribes, have you?"
Jiang Xuan followed his words and replied: "I've certainly never seen it before. You red ant tribe has so many good things."
Qie Ye raised his chin proudly: "Of course, our red ant tribe is a big tribe!"
Jiang Xuan asked again: "Does this tree have seedlings or seeds?"
"You want to plant kettle trees in your tribe?"
Qie Ye was very smart and immediately guessed Jiang Xuan's thoughts.
"That's right, you don't know that the northwest of our tribe is short of water."
Jiang Xuan began to make up a story that was very true: "Every time there is a drought, I feel very sad because there are many people who can't even drink water. It's really pitiful."
Qie Ye thought for a while and said: "There are some seeds of the kettle tree, but it takes a witch to decide whether I can give them to you. I can ask the witch for you."
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Xuan believed that although Qie Ye liked to show off, he still had a good heart. At least when he heard that someone had no water to drink due to drought, he did not choose to stand by and look on, but tried to help.
