Traveler Ant World
Chapter 428 The Mutation in the Cave 16
Red Ant King Zhang Ying led his ant colony, busily working in the ant nest. Suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded. It turned out that a scout ant had brought urgent news—a giant rabbit had appeared near the cave, seemingly mutated, and was frantically hunting small animals in the vicinity, posing a potential threat to the ant colony's territory.
Zhang Ying immediately summoned all the ant kings and important generals. Black Ant King Wang Jun frowned and said, "How could this rabbit suddenly mutate and even run into our territory? We must find a way to deal with it." Termite King Li Ming also nodded and said, "That's right, we can't let it continue to run rampant, otherwise our food source and safety will be affected."
Yellow Ant King Li Hua raised a question: "We don't know how powerful this mutated rabbit is. Will it be dangerous to attack rashly?" Brown Ant King Wang Kai snorted: "What are you afraid of? With so many ant kings and generals, can't we handle a rabbit?" Blue Ant King Lin Fei calmly analyzed: "Don't rush. Send more scout ants to find out the rabbit's habits and weaknesses before formulating a battle plan."
Green Ant King Wang Zhao also agreed: "Blue Ant King is right. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."
Soon, the scout ants brought back detailed intelligence. It turned out that after the rabbit mutated, it became extremely fast and its strength greatly increased. Moreover, it seemed to have gained some kind of special sensory ability, allowing it to detect danger in advance.
After listening, Zhang Ying, the red ant king, looked at the other ant kings and asked, "Now that the situation is clear, what are your thoughts?"
Black Ant King Wang Jun spoke first: "I think we can split into several teams and flank it from different directions, making it unable to defend itself."
Termite King Li Ming shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. It's too fast. It's difficult for us to surround it successfully at the same time. Instead, we're more likely to be defeated one by one."
After a moment's thought, Li Hua, the Yellow Ant King, suggested, "Why don't we send some fast worker ants to harass it first, lure it to a relatively narrow area, and then concentrate our forces to attack?"
King Kai of the Brown Ants laughed loudly: "Great idea! My Brown Ant clan is willing to take on the task of harassment!"
Blue Ant King Lin Fei, however, had a different opinion: "If its perception is very strong, our harassment efforts may be discovered very quickly. We should think of a more reliable method."
Just as everyone was arguing, Prime Minister Li of the Red Ants stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. We can use the terrain of the cave to set some traps at the entrance, lure the rabbit into the traps, and then wipe it out in one fell swoop."
Red Ant King Zhang Ying's eyes lit up: "Prime Minister Li's idea is good, what do you all think?"
The ant kings all nodded in agreement, finding it feasible. Thus, a hunt for the mutated rabbits began.
The ant colony sprang into action. Red ants carried sharp pebbles and twigs to set up the traps. Black ants, with their strong bodies, began digging holes to hide the traps. Termites used their building skills to reinforce the traps' structure. Yellow, brown, blue, and green ants also each played their part in setting up the traps.
After setting the trap, the scout ants began leaving food scraps with a distinctive scent in areas where the rabbit frequently appeared, as bait. Soon, the mutated rabbit was attracted to it.
As it approached the entrance, it seemed to sense a hint of danger, but the tempting food made it unable to resist going closer. Just as it stepped into the trap, it triggered the mechanism, and small stones and branches fell down, trapping it.
Red Ant King Zhang Ying gave the order: "Attack!"
The ant swarm surged out like a tide, rushing towards the trapped rabbit. The mutated rabbit struggled frantically, kicking with its powerful limbs, but the ants pressed on relentlessly, biting it incessantly.
King Kai, the brown ant king, charged ahead and shouted, "Brothers, let's show this rabbit what we're made of!"
However, the mutated rabbit's resistance exceeded expectations. It suddenly exerted its strength, broke free from part of the trap, and kicked away several approaching ants.
Seeing this, Black Ant King Wang Jun hurriedly commanded, "Everyone be careful, it's very powerful, don't fight it head-on!"
Just as the battle was raging, something unexpected happened. The rabbit suddenly emitted a strange light, which enveloped its body, and its power surged once more.
Termite King Li Ming cried out in alarm, "Oh no, it's mutated again!"
This time, the rabbit attacked the ant colony even more fiercely, resulting in some casualties among the ants.
Red Ant King Zhang Ying was extremely anxious and shouted, "We can't back down! We must defeat it!"
Each ant queen rallied the ants, and the colony once again mustered their courage to engage in a fierce battle with the mutated rabbit.
After a fierce battle, the ant colony finally found the rabbit's weakness—its eyes. Red ants Ji La and Ji Kai seized the opportunity, climbed onto the rabbit's body, and viciously bit its eyes.
The rabbit struggled in agony, letting out pitiful cries. Under the relentless attack of the ant colony, its strength gradually waned, and it finally collapsed to the ground.
The ants cheered, and the red ant king, Zhang Ying, looked at everyone with satisfaction: "Thanks to everyone's efforts, we have successfully repelled the mutated rabbits and protected our territory."
The ant queens and generals all wore victorious smiles. This thrilling battle made them understand even more the power of unity and wisdom.
Red ant king Zhang Ying, black ant king Wang Jun, white ant king Li Ming, yellow ant king Li Hua, brown ant king Wang Kai, blue ant king Lin Fei, and green ant king Wang Zhao led their respective ant colonies, constantly exploring and competing for resources in the ant world. One day, they heard some unusual noises near a cave on the edge of their territory.
“Gentlemen, things haven’t been peaceful around this cave lately. We’ve heard strange noises coming from there, so we need to investigate,” said Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, with a frown.
Black Ant King Wang Jun snorted: "Hmph, what could it be? Maybe it's just some little bug causing trouble. But it's good to go and take a look. If there's any treasure, we can't miss it."
So the seven ant kings, along with their respective prime ministers, queens, and generals, marched in a grand procession toward the cave.
When they arrived at the cave, they were stunned by what they saw. A rabbit that was originally of normal size had become enormous, its body almost taking up most of the cave. Its eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and its fur had become messy and stiff like thorns.
"What...what kind of monster is this?" the termite king Li Ming exclaimed in terror.
Red Ant Li cautiously approached, observing the rabbit: "Your Majesty, this rabbit seems to have undergone a huge mutation. I have never seen such a strange creature before."
Just then, the mutated rabbit suddenly moved. It opened its huge mouth and roared at the ant colony, making the surrounding air tremble.
"Oh no, it's going to attack us!" Blue Ant Huijie shouted.
The ant colony was thrown into chaos, but the queen ants quickly regained their composure.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! We outnumber you, let's attack together!" Red Ant King Zhang Ying commanded.
Red ants Ji La and Ji Kai were the first to rush forward, brandishing their sharp pincers in an attempt to attack the rabbit. But the rabbit easily flicked its head, sending the two red ants flying.
Black Ant Zhang Guang and An Yuan were not to be outdone and attacked from the side, but the rabbit's fur was too tough, and their attacks could not cause any real damage.
Termites fought over their nest. A wealthy man commanded his termite army, digging a tunnel underground to ambush a rabbit's legs. But the rabbit sensed the commotion, stomped its foot, and the ground instantly cracked open, leaving many termites disoriented.
The yellow ant queen, Li Dani Milo, the brown ant queen, Tong, and Christmas led their respective ant colonies, flanking the enemy from different directions. The green ant Xinpei and Wangjiu were ready to provide support from the rear.
"This rabbit is too powerful, we have to think of a way!" shouted Chen Dan, the brown ant.
Blue Ant suggested, and Anhui had a sudden inspiration: "Your Majesty, we can use the surrounding stones to smash it!"
So the ant colony began carrying surrounding stones and hurling them at the rabbit. The stones struck the rabbit, but only made it sway; no fatal injury was inflicted.
The mutated rabbit seemed to be enraged. It began to jump and charge wildly, causing heavy casualties to the ant colony wherever it went.
"No, this can't go on. We have to find its weakness!" shouted Wang Jun, the Black Ant King.
The ant queens stopped attacking and carefully observed the rabbit.
Red Ant King Zhang Ying suddenly noticed: "Look at its eyes, they seem to be its most vulnerable spot!"
The ant queen suddenly realized what was happening and organized another attack. This time, the ant colony concentrated its firepower, aiming at the rabbit's eyes.
After a fierce battle, several ants finally managed to climb onto the rabbit's head and bite its eyes hard. The rabbit howled in pain and began to struggle frantically.
Under the relentless attacks of the ant colony, the rabbit's eyes gradually lost their luster, and its body began to weaken.
"Haha, it's done for!" the yellow ant king Li Hua shouted excitedly.
Finally, the mutated rabbit collapsed to the ground, and the ant colony cheered.
"This was truly a tough battle," remarked Wang Zhao, the Green Ant King.
“Yes, but we succeeded! This cave will be our territory from now on,” said Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King.
The ant colony began cleaning up the battlefield, carrying away the rabbit's carcass, preparing to enjoy this hard-won food.
After this battle, the ant queens became even more aware of the dangers and unknowns of the ant world. They decided to strengthen the defenses of their territory while continuing to explore this mysterious world in search of more resources and secrets.
As time went by, the ant colony gradually settled into its new territory. The queen ants began to consider how to further develop their colony and make it even stronger.
"We cannot be satisfied with our current victory. We must find ways to make our ants smarter and stronger," said Zhang Ying, the red ant king.
Black Ant King Wang Jun nodded in agreement: "That's right. We can train the ants to have more sophisticated combat skills, and at the same time, we should strengthen the management and utilization of resources."
Termite King Li Ming also suggested: "We can also explore the possibility of cooperating with other ant colonies, which may enable us to jointly address more challenges."
The other ant queens all agreed, and a heated discussion about the future development of the ant colony began.
In the days that followed, the ant queens began to implement their plans. They selected a group of strong and intelligent ants and gave them specialized training, teaching them various combat strategies and survival skills.
Ant colonies also manage resources more systematically, with different species of ants having clear divisions of labor, such as collecting food, building nests, and defending their territories.
Meanwhile, the queen ants also began sending messengers to contact other ant colonies in the surrounding area to explore the possibility of cooperation.
By chance, the red ant king Zhang Ying encountered a group of friendly flower ants. After communicating with the flower ants, they discovered that they shared a common need to defend against external enemies.
“We can unite to fight against those powerful creatures that attempt to invade our territory,” said Zhang Ying, the red ant king, to the flower ant leader.
The flower ant leader readily agreed: "Great! Although we flower ants are not strong in combat, we are good at finding resources and may be able to provide you with a lot of help."
Thus, the red ant colony and the flower ant colony reached a cooperation agreement. They began to patrol their territory together, share resource information, and support each other.
While working with the flower ants, the colony discovered another mysterious ruin. The ruin emitted an eerie light, seemingly concealing a great secret.
"This ruin is definitely not simple; we must go in and explore it," said Blue Ant King Lin Fei excitedly.
The queen ants led the colony cautiously into the ruins. The ruins were filled with ancient symbols and mechanisms; they needed to carefully avoid dangers while searching for clues to unlock the secrets.
After some exploration, the ants finally found an ancient scroll. The scroll contained information about the origins of the ant world and mysterious forces.
"It turns out that our world has such a long history and such great power," Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, exclaimed.
The queen ants decided to bring the information on the scroll back to the nest and study it together with the other queen ants, hoping to find a way to improve the strength of the colony.
Over time, ant colonies have grown stronger through continuous development and exploration. They have not only established themselves in the ant world but have also built strong relationships with other ant colonies, working together to protect this mysterious and wondrous world.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the sky, heading towards the ant colony's territory.
"What is that?" Wang Zhao, the king of green ants, exclaimed in terror.
The ant king looked up and saw a giant flying insect slowly approaching. Its wings were as hard as steel, its body was enormous, and it exuded a terrifying aura.
"Oh no! This is an unprecedented crisis!" Red Ant King Zhang Ying shouted.
