Traveler Ant World

Chapter 378 Dream Garden 5

Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, stood high atop his nest, surveying his territory. Sunlight streamed across this tiny patch of land, and ants busily moved about, carrying food and building their nests. A surge of pride welled up in Zhang Ying. As the king of the Red Ant clan, he led his people to tenacious survival on this land.

"King, during today's patrol, we discovered some unusual movements around the territory." Red Ant Li? hurried over and reported to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying frowned slightly, "Oh? Tell me the details."

Li? said, "There's a strange smell in the northeast, and it seems like another ant colony is approaching."

Zhang Ying thought for a moment and said, "Pay close attention and report to me at any time. We can't easily let other ant colonies invade our territory."

Meanwhile, Wang Jun, the Black Ant King, was also busy in his own ant nest. He was a burly man with sharp eyes, exuding a majestic aura.

"King, a new batch of food reserves has been completed. How should we expand our territory next?" asked Black Ant Zhang Yuan.

Wang Jun sneered, "Hmph, do those red ants think they can monopolize this land? We black ants won't sit still and wait for death. Let's find an opportunity to test their bottom line."

Deep within the nest, termite king Li Ming was intently studying some architectural structures. Termite nests are known for their intricate design, and Li Ming was dedicated to making his own nest more durable and comfortable.

"Junwei, do you think the improved ant nest structure can better resist foreign enemies?" Li Ming asked the termite Junwei.

Jun Wei nodded and said, "King, the design of the passage and defense layer is more reasonable this time, and it should be able to play a good defensive role."

Yellow Ant King Li Hua and his people are caring for the plants in their ant nest. Yellow ants are adept at coexisting with plants, and their nest is always full of life.

"Li Danni Milo, how are the plants growing recently?" Li Hua asked.

Li Danni Minogue replied: "Wang, most of the plants are growing healthy, but there are a few that need more nutrients."

Wang Kai, the Brown Ant King, and his fellow ants were carrying some hard materials to reinforce their nest. Brown ants are known for their diligence and tenacity, and their nests are always incredibly strong.

"Wang Tong, Christmas, speed up, we have to complete the reinforcement work before dark." Wang Kai urged.

Lin Fei, the Blue Ant King, hovered above the ant nest, keenly observing his surroundings. Blue ants possess excellent eyesight and flight abilities, and they are responsible for aerial patrols of their territory.

"Arrangements, Anhui, pay attention to whether there are any abnormal situations in the surrounding area." Wang Linfei said.

Wang Zhao, the Green Ant King, teaches the young Green Ants some survival skills in the ant nest. Green Ants are gentle and kind, and they value inheritance and development.

"Xinmao, Wangjiu, you must learn these skills well so that you can better serve the ant colony in the future." Wang Zhao said.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in the northeast of the Red Ant Territory.

"Wang, the other ant colonies are really here!" Li? ran over hurriedly.

Zhang Ying immediately ordered: "Notify all generals and prepare for battle!"

Red Ants Ji La and Ji Kai quickly gathered their warriors and prepared for battle. Upon hearing the news, Black Ant King Wang Jun smiled smugly, "Finally, a chance to compete with the Red Ants." He led Black Ants Zhang Guang and An Yuan towards the Red Ant territory.

After hearing the noise, the termite king Li Ming snorted coldly, "Let's see who dares to cause trouble on this land." He led the termites fighting for holes and the local tyrants towards the red ant territory.

The Yellow Ant King Li Hua, the Brown Ant King Wang Kai, the Blue Ant King Lin Fei, and the Green Ant King Wang Zhao also received the news and led their own ant colonies to converge on the Red Ant territory.

When the ant colonies met at the edge of the red ant territory, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

"Red Ant King Zhang Ying, do you think you can occupy this land forever?" Black Ant King Wang Jun shouted loudly.

Zhang Ying responded fearlessly: "This is our red ant territory, how can you invade it!"

Termite King Li Ming also said: "We are all ants on this land. Why should we fight? Why not live in peace?"

However, the Black Ant King Wang Jun was not grateful. "Peaceful coexistence? What a joke! Only the strong can have more."

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, suddenly, a strange light appeared in the sky, enveloping the entire ant colony and making all the ants feel dizzy.

When the light disappeared, the ants were surprised to find that they were in a dreamlike garden full of colorful flowers and exuding charming fragrance.

"Where is this?" asked the Red Ant King Zhang Ying in confusion.

Black Ant King Wang Jun was also bewildered. "I've never seen such a beautiful place."

Termite King Li Ming carefully observed his surroundings and said, "There seems to be no danger here, but we need to find out what's going on."

Just then, a gentle voice sounded: "Welcome to the Dream Garden, little ones."

The ants looked around for the source of the sound, and saw a huge butterfly appear in front of them.

"Who are you? Where is this?" Blue Ant King Lin Fei asked bravely.

The butterfly smiled and said, "I am the guardian of the garden. This is the Dream Garden. Whenever there is a conflict between different ant colonies, they are transported here. I hope you can learn to coexist peacefully here."

After a moment's reflection, the Red Ant King, Zhang Ying, said, "Although our colony each has its own territory, that doesn't mean we can't cooperate. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to work together to protect this beautiful garden."

Black Ant King Wang Jun also nodded and said, "Hmph, I will cooperate with you for the time being and see what secrets this garden has."

Termite King Li Ming, Yellow Ant King Li Hua, Brown Ant King Wang Kai, Blue Ant King Lin Fei, and Green Ant King Wang Zhao all agreed. Thus, these formerly hostile ant colonies began to explore the dream garden.

They discovered that there were some magical fruits in the garden that could enhance the strength and wisdom of ants after eating them, and some special flowers that could emit healing scents to help injured ants recover.

In the process of exploration, the ants gradually let go of their prejudices against each other, shared food together, helped each other, and jointly resisted some small dangers that occasionally appeared in the garden.

As time went by, the relationship between the ants became more and more harmonious. They spent a wonderful time in the dream garden and understood the importance of peaceful coexistence.

When they returned to their respective territories, the hostility was no longer present. Red Ant King Zhang Ying, Black Ant King Wang Jun, and the other Ant Kings agreed that if problems arose in the future, they would first attempt peaceful communication rather than hastily start a war.

From then on, in this land of the ant world, although each ant colony still has its own territory, there is more harmony and friendship between them, and they jointly protect this vibrant home.

In a mysterious corner of the ant world, a peanut emitting a strange light appeared. The peanut's appearance disrupted the ants' previously peaceful lives. News quickly spread throughout the ant colonies, driving countless ants into a frenzy.

Upon hearing this, Red Ant King Zhang Ying immediately summoned his prime minister, Li Yu, and urgently said, "Li Yu, quickly go and find out the whereabouts of that peanut. Make sure you find out what's so special about it." Li Yu respectfully replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll do it right away."

The black ant king Wang Jun was not to be outdone, and ordered his prime minister Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, go check the situation of the peanut and see if there is any chance to snatch it from other ant colonies." Zhang Yuan took the order and left.

Termite King Li Ming, Yellow Ant King Li Hua, Brown Ant King Wang Kai, Blue Ant King Lin Fei, and Green Ant King Wang Zhao all sprang into action, each dispatching their ants to search for the mysterious peanut. Suddenly, the entire ant world was abuzz with excitement over this peanut.

Encounter and competition

The red ant spies were the first to discover the location of the peanuts, which were being guarded by a group of white termites. Upon learning of this, the red ant king Zhang Ying immediately dispatched generals Ji La and Ji Kai to lead a team of red ants to seize the peanuts.

When the red ants arrived, the termite king, Li Ming, personally led his generals, including Zhengxue and Tuhao, to confront them. "We discovered this peanut first. You termites better get out of the way," Ji La shouted at the termites. Zhengxue responded unflinchingly, "Why? This peanut is in our territory, so it belongs to us." Tensions mounted between the two sides, and a fierce battle was imminent.

At that moment, the Black Ant King, Wang Jun, arrived with Zhang Guang, An Yuan, and other black ants. "Hey, you're all here! We can't let you have all the peanuts to ourselves," Wang Jun said proudly. The Termite King, Li Ming, snorted coldly, "Black Ant King, this isn't your turn to interfere."

Conflicts between the various ant colonies quickly intensified, and the flames of war raged across the land. Ants fought one another, their cries of destruction deafening. The red ants, leveraging their numerical superiority, engaged in a fierce battle with the white termites, while the black ants, watching from the sidelines, watched for an opportunity to reap the benefits.

Unexpected discovery

In the melee, a stone struck a peanut, causing it to crack. From the crack emanated a richer light, seemingly imbued with some mysterious power. A red ant accidentally touched the light, and instantly its body underwent a miraculous transformation, becoming more agile and stronger than before.

When the other ants saw this, they all realized that the peanut had extraordinary magical powers. So, they started fighting not only for the peanut itself, but also for the magical power.

The termite king Li Ming shouted loudly: "Stop fighting for now. This peanut can make us stronger. We should work together to study it." The red ant king Zhang Ying also thought it made sense and responded: "Okay, let's truce for now and explore the secret of this peanut together." The other ant kings also expressed their agreement.

Collaboration and Research

The queen ants also joined in the study of the peanuts. Red ant Li Li, black ant Ya Shi, white termite Lan Dai, yellow ant Ya An, brown ant Ya Si, blue ant Cheng Xiao, and green ant Lin Cun gathered around the peanuts, carefully observing its changes.

Lin Qiong, prime minister of the Green Ant King Wang Zhao, said: "This light seems to have some kind of pattern. We should try to find its triggering mechanism." Everyone nodded and began to try various methods to touch the peanuts, hoping to unlock the secret.

After some effort, they discovered that when ants from different colonies touched the peanuts in a specific order, different effects would be triggered: sometimes it would enhance the ants' strength, sometimes it would enhance their intelligence.

The various ant colonies began to divide the work and cooperate. The red ants were responsible for finding the sequence to trigger the increase in strength, the black ants studied ways to improve wisdom, the white termites explored effects related to defense, the yellow ants focused on the secret of speed improvement, the brown ants looked for wonderful changes related to reproduction, the blue ants studied how to control the range of light, and the green ants paid attention to the impact of light on the unity of the ant colony.

new crisis

As the ants' research on peanuts deepens, they discover that while this powerful force is formidable, it also attracts the covetousness of other unknown creatures. Suddenly, a group of mysterious little flying insects burst into the ant world. They seem to sense the magical power of peanuts and want to snatch them away.

Although these flying insects are small in size, they are extremely fast and have strong attack power. The ants are in a new crisis.

The red ant king Zhang Ying immediately ordered: "All ants listen up and prepare to resist the attack of small flying insects." Each ant colony acted quickly, and the generals led the soldiers to form a battle formation.

Ji La shouted to the soldiers, "Don't be afraid, we have the power of peanuts and we will be able to repel them." However, the attack of the small flying insects was so fierce that the ants gradually could not resist.

The black ant king Wang Jun said anxiously, "No, we have to find a way to prevent them from taking the peanuts." At this moment, the termite king Li Ming discovered the weakness of the small flying insects and shouted, "They are afraid of fire. Go and collect flammable materials."

The ants rushed to work, gathering flammable materials like leaves and hay, lighting them and throwing them at the small flies. The small flies were driven back by the fire and temporarily stopped their attack.

Internal conflicts resurface

After a hard fight, the ants successfully repelled the small flying insects. But after the victory, conflicts within the ant colony began to emerge again.

Wang Kai, the brown ant king, felt that his colony had contributed most to the fight against the small flies and should receive a larger share of the peanuts. "We brown ants fought tooth and nail to protect the peanuts, so we shouldn't miss out on this benefit," Wang Kai said disgruntledly.

Blue Ant Wang Linfei argued that since every colony had contributed, the rewards should be distributed equally. "We're all here to protect peanuts, so there shouldn't be any special treatment," Wang Linfei retorted.

Such arguments made the atmosphere, which had just eased, tense again, and the relationship between the ants fell into a delicate state again.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying looked at the situation and said helplessly, "Everyone calm down. Our top priority right now is to continue researching peanuts and enhance the strength of our entire ant world, not to fight for power and profit here."

hard choice

After a heated discussion, the ant kings realized that they could no longer let internal conflicts delay their peanut research. So, they decided to work together to develop a distribution plan, allocating power-up opportunities based on each ant colony's contribution to fighting off the small flies and researching peanuts.

However, this plan encountered many difficulties during implementation. Some ant colonies felt that their contributions were undervalued, while others were dissatisfied with the results of their allocation.

Just as the ants were agonizing over how to balance the interests of all parties, the peanut suddenly emitted a powerful light that enveloped the entire ant world. In the light, the ants seemed to see a wider world and the huge challenges they might face in the future.

They realized that if they continued to fight for immediate interests, the entire ant world would be in danger. So the ant kings gathered together again and had an in-depth discussion.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying said sincerely, "Everyone, we can't continue to fight among ourselves like this. The power brought by these peanuts is to help us fight future crises together. We should unite as one and develop together."

The other ant kings nodded in agreement. They decided to put aside their prejudices, work together, use the power of peanuts to enhance the strength of the entire ant world, and jointly face unknown challenges.

In the days that followed, the ants worked together to uncover the secrets of the peanut. They used this magical power to transform their nests and enhance their abilities. The entire ant world gradually grew stronger, and the mysterious peanut became a symbol of the ants' unity and common progress, leading them towards a future filled with uncertainty but also with hope.
