Chapter 95 The Eldest Daughter of the World Tree
Lin Mu suddenly found that the iron ants colony was rekindled.
Last time, because of the iron horn ant, Lin Mu created a flower elf. The flower elf used some means to kill the iron horn ant colony. However, the queen of the ant was not seen at that time, and Lin Mu thought the queen of the ant was dead.
However, what I didn't expect was that the queen ant not only did not die, but began to reproduce again.
And this time, the queen of ant looked even more cunning and shrewd. The iron ants colony had almost never come to the ground and was all moving deep in the island. If it weren't for the inadvertent sight of the tree roots, Lin Mu wouldn't have known that the iron ants had bred another ethnic group.
In addition, Lin Mu also discovered that several iron ants were particularly huge in size, how big was, and their body length was nearly one foot, which was more than 30 centimeters.
Such iron ants are obviously abnormal, and Lin Mu quickly guessed that these iron ants should be the winners of the dream world, otherwise they would not have grown so fast or so big.
Because I haven't seen the queen of ant, Lin Mu also has reason to suspect that the queen of ant should be one of the winners of the dream world.
However, compared with the past, the World Tree is no longer the same as before. This group of iron-jawed ants cannot even be considered trouble, and Lin Mu does not need to let the flower elves kill the iron-jawed ants again.
But these iron-jawed ants are really annoying.
They don't bite the roots of the World Tree now, but they can dig holes, and dig every day, everywhere.
Because some of the iron-jawed ants are relatively large, the holes they dug are also relatively large, and the diameter of each cave is about half a meter, so many of them have been dug.
Because there were too many excavations, the bottom of the entire island was well connected, and the trees even felt that it might not take long before the island would be hollowed out by them.
Lin Mu was obviously very annoyed about this because he had always been worried that the island would be crushed by the huge mass of the World Tree. Now the iron-jawed ant dug the island everywhere, and the island's bearing capacity will definitely become weaker and weaker. What is the difference between digging the foundation of the forest tree?
However, Lin Mu really has no way to deal with these iron-jawed ants now. First of all, the flower elves cannot appear in front of humans. Secondly, the iron-jawed ants colony is too deep, and the queen of the ant has been fooled once. Even if the flower elves take action, they will probably not be able to kill the queen of the ant.
Lin Mu can only find a way out by himself.
His method is also very simple, which is to grow tree roots into these caves.
Iron-jawed ants can dig holes, and the world tree can also grow roots in it.
If you think about it better, this is actually pretty good.
You know, Lin Mu had thought about it before, and he had to use tree roots to surround the entire island, but now the tree roots can only wrap around the island, and the inside of the island is a bit difficult to get. Although there are some cracks on the island that can grow tree roots, these cracks always account for a small number, and most of the internal areas of the island are still relatively tight.
Now that the iron-jawed ant has dug out the hole, the forest is not polite. It just so happens that the roots of the tree are extended into the interior of the island through these holes, so that the inside and outside can be integrated and the entire island can be completely controlled.
And Lin Mu also wanted to see what the queen who had never appeared looked like.
To be honest, this queen can be regarded as the first batch of creatures that have received the benefits of magic. It takes about the same time as the white hair, and may even be earlier than the white hair. After all, I don’t know how long it lasted when the world tree seed form was in the form of the world tree. It is entirely possible that the queen had come into contact with the world tree in an earlier period of time.
If all creatures baptized by magic are regarded as children of the World Tree, then the queen may still be the eldest son or daughter of the World Tree!
However, in Lin Mu's opinion, this eldest son and daughter are a bit disobedient and unfilial, and always make things difficult for him.
Under the control of the trees, the roots of the World Tree grow towards the cave dug out by the iron-jawed ants.
Compared with tree trunks that only grow five meters a day, the roots of the World Tree grow much faster.
After all, it was the plan of the tree before to grow only five meters a day, but as the world tree grows higher and larger, the more moonlight energy it can be exposed to. Since the height is limited, the roots of the tree will naturally grow faster.
These tree roots seemed to be pressed on the fast forward button and continued to grow towards the caves below the island.
When they entered the island 50 meters deep, Lin Mu was a little surprised, and many caves were still bottomless.
"How hard can these iron-jawed ants be dug? You must know that this is volcanic rock."
Volcanic rocks are solidified by magma and have very high hardness. Even using machinery to dig is not easy, let alone a group of ants, although these ants have been baptized by magic.
The roots continue down.
Then Lin Mu discovered some strange things, such as the gems and minerals inside these rocks disappeared.
The volcanic rocks are rich in gems and various minerals. Now these gems and minerals have all disappeared. Obviously, there is a reason. Lin Mu can only guess that the iron-jawed ants have removed the gems and minerals, but why did they have to?
Gems and minerals are definitely good things for humans. They can be sold for money and made things, but is it valuable to a group of ants? Lin Mu really can't guess.
When the sun appears and the day comes, the world tree falls into a deep sleep. Although the forest is becoming more and more curious about the iron-jawed ants, it can only temporarily stop this curiosity. After all, the world tree will not grow during the day.
"Where is the queen of ant? What is this guy doing? Could it be that he is planning something big?"
...
A huge cave hundreds of meters below the island.
An ant with a very exaggerated body was lying in the middle of the cave.
The queen of ant is about five meters long from head to tail, and is covered with various stripes. These stripes shine from time to time, and look very magical.
And the most amazing thing is that there is a small sapling growing on the head of the queen ant. If you look closely, you can see that this small sapling is very similar to the World Tree.
The huge cave is connected in all directions. At this time, countless iron-jawed ants came from all directions, and the number is so large that it makes people feel numb.
Among them are also some huge iron-jawed ants. Some of these huge iron-jawed ants are about half a meter long, some are about one meter long, and some are even more than two meters.
Countless iron palate ants transported gems and ores and delivered these supplies to the queen. The queen opened her mouth wide and swallowed these gems and ores. It actually used this kind of thing as food and looked very well digested.
