Traveler Ant World

Chapter 430 The Mutation in the Cave 18 (Page 12)

There grew an enormous carrot. This carrot was originally a favorite food of the rabbits, but recently it has undergone a strange change.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, summoned the other Ant Kings. Wang Jun, the Black Ant King; Li Ming, the White Ant King; Li Hua, the Yellow Ant King; Wang Kai, the Brown Ant King; Lin Fei, the Blue Ant King; and Wang Zhao, the Green Ant King, all rushed to the scene.

"Gentlemen, the giant radish on this cave has mutated, which may have a huge impact on us. We need to investigate it," said Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, with a solemn expression.

"Hmph, what impact could it have? It might just be a normal change." Black Ant King Wang Jun snorted disdainfully.

“Don’t be careless, Brother Wang Jun,” the termite king Li Ming advised. “This world is full of unknowns, so it’s always better to be safe than sorry.”

The ant kings nodded and together they headed towards the cave.

When they arrived at the cave, the giant radish was quite different from before. The radish leaves had become wider and the color was more vibrant, and the root was frighteningly thick.

"This...this is too exaggerated!" said Li Hua, the Yellow Ant King, in surprise.

Just then, a rabbit came running over in a panic.

"My lords, run! This mutated carrot will release strange power and will hurt us!" the rabbit cried in terror.

"Don't rush, tell me what kind of power this is," King Kai of the Brown Ants asked calmly.

"I'm not quite sure either, I just feel uncomfortable when I'm near it, like something is pulling at me," the rabbit said.

The ant kings exchanged glances and decided to send a few ants to test the waters first. Red Ant King Zhang Ying sent out Red Ant Li?, Black Ant King Wang Jun sent out Black Ant Zhang Yuan, White Ant King Li Ming sent out White Ant Jun Wei, Yellow Ant King Li Hua sent out Yellow Ant Li Hua, Brown Ant King Wang Kai sent out Brown Ant Chen Dan, Blue Ant King Lin Fei sent out Blue Ant Hui Jie, and Green Ant King Wang Zhao sent out Green Ant Lin Qiong.

The ants cautiously approached the giant radish, and as soon as they got close, they all showed expressions of pain.

"Ah! What kind of power is this? It hurts so much!" Red Ant Li cried out.

"Come back quickly!" the ant queen shouted.

Several ants retreated with all their might.

"It seems that the power of this mutated radish is indeed extraordinary," said Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King.

"Then what should we do?" asked Wang Jun, the Black Ant King.

"Perhaps we can find some ants that are skilled in magic or mystical powers to study," suggested Li Ming, the termite king.

So the ant queen began searching for such ants within the colony. After some searching, she found several ants that were said to possess some mysterious powers.

The ants arrived before the giant radish and began to unleash their abilities. They chanted incantations, waved their hands, and emitted strange beams of light towards the radish.

However, the radish seemed unconcerned about these attacks and continued to emanate its strange power.

"No, my lords, this power is too great; we cannot break it," an ant said helplessly.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the queen ants arrived. Red ant Li Li, black ant Ya Shi, white ant Lan Dai, yellow ant Ya An, brown ant Ya Si, blue ant Cheng Xiao, and green ant Lin Cun.

"My husbands, what's going on?" Red Ant Li Li asked.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying recounted what had happened.

The queen ants fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Green Ant Forest Village's eyes lit up.

“I’ve heard of an ancient herb that might counteract the power of this radish. Let’s go look for it,” said Green Ant Forest Village.

Upon hearing this, the ant king thought it made sense and immediately sent out ants to find the herb.

After some effort, the herb was finally found. Placed next to the giant radish, the radish's power seemed to be suppressed, becoming less intense.

"Great! It works!" the ant king exclaimed excitedly.

Just then, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and a huge bolt of lightning struck the giant radish.

"Oh no!" cried the ant king.

After the lightning struck the radish, the radish trembled violently, releasing even greater power.

This force instantly enveloped everything around it, and the ants scattered in all directions.

"Quickly find a place to hide!" shouted Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King.

The ant king and queen led their respective minions and fled in all directions.

In the chaos, a little ant accidentally fell into a hole in the ground.

Upon discovering the red ant king Zhang Ying, he jumped in without hesitation.

Black Ant King Wang Jun, White Ant King Li Ming, and other ant kings also followed suit.

When they entered the cave, they discovered a hidden world inside, filled with many strange, luminous crystals.

"Where is this place?" asked Li Hua, the Yellow Ant King, in surprise.

"Never mind that for now, let's figure out how to get out," said Wang Kai, the brown ant king.

Just as they were searching for an exit, they suddenly heard a low roar.

A gigantic monster slowly emerged from the darkness, its body covered in sharp spikes and its eyes glowing green.

"What...what kind of monster is this!" the ant king cried out in terror.

The monster opened its blood-red maw and pounced on the ant king.

The ant kings all drew their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the monster.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying brandished his sword, thrusting it at the monster. Black Ant King Wang Jun, meanwhile, used his sharp claws to grab at the monster. White Ant King Li Ming cast a spell, shooting beams of fire at the monster.

After a fierce battle, the ant king finally defeated the monster.

But at this moment, they also found themselves in a maze and could not find their way out.

"We need to find a way out," said Lin Fei, the Blue Ant King.

Just then, an ant discovered some strange symbols on the wall.

“My lords, look at these symbols; perhaps they are a clue,” said the ant.

The ant kings gathered around to examine them closely and discovered that the symbols appeared to be some kind of ancient script.

After some research, they finally deciphered the meaning of the symbols and found the exit from the maze.

When they emerged from the burrow, the giant radish outside had calmed down.

But after all this trouble, the ants realized that there were still many unknown dangers in the world waiting for them to explore and solve.

"This experience has taught us that we cannot underestimate any change," said Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King.

The ant queens all nodded, deciding to return and strengthen the colony's defenses and exploration capabilities to prepare for any potential future crises. An unprecedented crisis was quietly approaching.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying sat in his palace, his brow furrowed, deeply worried by the series of strange events that had recently occurred. "Send word to all the ant kings and the prime minister to come for a meeting," Zhang Ying said to his attendants.

Before long, the Black Ant King Wang Jun, the White Ant King Li Ming, the Yellow Ant King Li Hua, the Brown Ant King Wang Kai, the Blue Ant King Lin Fei, the Green Ant King Wang Zhao, and all the prime ministers arrived at the Red Ant King's palace.

"We have gathered everyone here today because we have encountered a major problem," said Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, with a solemn expression.

Black Ant King Wang Jun frowned and asked, "What trouble could there be? Could it be an invasion by other ant tribes?"

The red ant king shook his head. "A gigantic carrot has appeared on the cave near our territory, and we don't know where it came from. This carrot has begun to affect our lives, and many ants have been injured because of it."

Termite King Li Ming asked in bewilderment, "Can a radish really have such power?"

At this moment, Prime Minister Li of the Red Ants stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, that radish seems to be showing signs of mutation. The aura it emits is making the surrounding environment strange."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

King Kai, the brown ant king, said, "Then we must find a way to solve this problem and not let it continue to harm our territory."

Blue Ant King Lin Fei nodded in agreement: "That's right, but this radish is so huge, how are we supposed to start?"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Zhao, the king of green ants, said, "Perhaps we can send someone to investigate and see what weaknesses this radish has."

Red Ant King Zhang Ying thought the suggestion was feasible, so he arranged for Red Ant Generals Ji La and Ji Kai to go and check it out.

After receiving their orders, Ji La and Ji Kai cautiously made their way towards the cave. As they approached the giant radish, a strange power surged towards them.

“This feels really strange, like something is resisting us,” Ji Kai said.

Ji La nodded. "Be careful. Let's see what's going on with this radish first."

As they were observing the radish, suddenly, the leaves on the radish began to move, as if to attack them. Ji La reacted quickly, pulling Ji Kai away to avoid them.

"This radish actually attacks on its own!" Ji Kai exclaimed in surprise.

They dared not approach rashly any further and hurried back to report the situation to the Red Ant King.

After hearing the report, the ant kings and prime ministers all fell into deep thought.

Black Ant Prime Minister Zhang Yuan said, "It seems this radish is not easy to deal with; we need more intelligence."

Yellow Ant Prime Minister Li Hua suggested, "Perhaps we can ask ants in other territories to see if they have encountered similar situations."

The Red Ant King agreed, so he sent messengers from different ant tribes to various territories to gather information.

Several days passed, and the messengers returned one after another. One of the yellow ant messengers said, "Your Majesty, I have heard in other territories that this giant mutated radish may be affected by some mysterious force. Once it is fully mature, it will release powerful energy that may destroy the entire ant world."

The ant king was terrified upon hearing this.

“Then we must find a way to destroy it as soon as possible, and we must not let it mature,” said Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, firmly.

After some discussion, they decided to unite the strength of various ant tribes to fight against this giant radish.

Thus, a vast army of ants marched toward the cave. Red Ant King Zhang Ying personally led the team, while 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 each led their own ant warriors.

When the army arrived at the cave, the giant radish seemed to sense the danger. Its leaves danced wildly, and the surrounding ground began to tremble.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! If we work together, we will definitely defeat it!" shouted Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King.

The ant army mustered their courage and charged towards the carrot. Red ant warriors brandished their weapons, while black ant warriors nimbly dodged the carrot's attacks. Termite warriors used their sturdy exoskeletons to protect themselves from potential damage, yellow ant warriors moved nimbly across the battlefield, brown ant warriors dug furiously into the soil around the carrot, trying to destroy its roots, blue ant warriors used their unique abilities to disrupt the carrot's movements, and green ant warriors provided support to the other ant colonies from the rear.

The battle was extremely fierce, and many ants were killed or wounded, but none of them retreated.

"We cannot give up, for our home!" King Jun of the Black Ants roared, leading his warriors in an even more ferocious attack.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, General Red Ant Ji La discovered a weakness in the radish: a relatively vulnerable spot at the base of its root.

"Everyone, focus your attack on the roots of the radishes!" Ji La shouted.

Upon hearing this, the ants swarmed towards the root of the radish. After a fierce battle, the root of the radish was finally destroyed.
