Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

They never expected it to rain. Faced with the impending rain, the ants immediately chose to move their home.

Let's get through this crisis first. During the move, I also learned about the reasons why ants move house, and there were so many untold stories behind it.

We thought we could reach safety before the rain started, but to our surprise, it started raining when we were halfway up the mountain…

A drop of icy, bone-chilling rain fell on me, and then the rain, as if it were the end of the world, began to pelt us relentlessly.

I once saw a joke that went like this: A group of people were all high achievers, either PhDs or Masters, and they were discussing whether a drop of water falling from the sky would kill someone.

After all, according to dynamics, when you are moving at an infinite speed, if a watermelon is thrown at you, it will be like a bomb that can smash a car to pieces.

Faced with this problem, a large number of top students offered their opinions, and the discussion was extremely heated.

Just then, someone stepped forward and asked, "Have you ever seen rain?"

then……

That guy got kicked out of the group.

Although it's just a joke, rain can't actually kill people, but it can kill ants. Those huge raindrops falling to the ground are like a hand grenade exploding next to you, and instantly many ants are knocked off their feet.

Fortunately, the ants' armor protected them, but I wasn't so lucky. My body is just fat and skin, how could I withstand the rain falling from the sky?

I was lucky amidst misfortune, because there happened to be a foxtail grass not far from us, so I grabbed Dafu and the soldier ant and quickly crawled towards it.

Although rain still fell from under the foxtail grass, the grass provided some protection, so it was mostly just the rain that touched us, but we weren't directly hit by the large raindrops from the sky.

Despite the hail of bullets, the ants were desperately protecting the food they were carrying, continuing their charge into the bushes. Once inside, they would be safe from the water.

Those ants were like soldiers during World War II, fearless and forging ahead. If there was water in front of them, they swam across; if there was a sloping earth in front of them, they climbed over it.

They only need to do one thing, and only one thing: move forward, forward, forward.

They used their armor-like bodies to resist the baptism of the rain.

Gradually, a large number of ants entered the grass, leaving us to hide under the foxtail grass.

"The rain is too heavy now, and the two distinguished guests may not be able to handle it. You should escort Her Majesty the Queen first, and I will follow behind," the soldier ants in front of us shouted to the main force opposite us.

"Be careful, hurry up and keep up, we're on our way now." A short while later, a response came from the other side.

Then the ants gradually crawled away, and the surrounding area was an environment similar to a vast ocean, while the three of us were trapped under the foxtail grass.

"What do we do now?" Dafu asked nervously beside me.

"Can you climb grass?" Before I could even speak, the soldier asked, sounding a little anxious.

Holy crap, no, I mean, what the hell? What does that mean? You want us to crawl on grass? Isn't that just... what the hell?

What does this mean? What is this ant trying to do at this critical moment? Is this ant not even a normal ant? Is it deliberately diverting the main ant army to do something bad to us?

The animal kingdom is too dangerous. I want to go back to the human world. Help!

When I heard the ant's question, I was so frightened that my whole body went limp. I had no intention of answering the ant at all; I just wanted to find a chance to leave this damned place.

"I can climb," Dafu said honestly from behind me while I was still lost in thought.

"Well, it's good that you can climb. If the water comes over later, we'll need to climb onto these foxtail grasses to hide first," the soldier ant said very seriously.

Oh my god, that scared me to death! Thank goodness I was climbing grass. I was almost scared to death. I'm just glad I wasn't doing anything weird.

Seeing the water slowly rising, we should climb up too, otherwise we might be swept away by the current.

I don't know if everyone recognizes foxtail grass, it's a very common grass. It's usually about ten centimeters tall, with leaves that look like lettuce, and a very sturdy root system.

Being a maggot isn't easy either; you need to know how to climb trees, crawl on grass, and swim just to barely survive.

For example, right now I'm desperately climbing up the foxtail grass.

Fortunately, it looks like just a heavy rain, and it shouldn't last too long. Once the rain stops, everything will be fine, and we can continue our journey.

But the prerequisite is that we must first survive.

We had just climbed up one section when a sudden gust of north wind blew in, almost throwing us all off.

"Try to lie low and hold on tight to the branches. You won't get submerged in the water up there, but you can easily be blown away by the swaying wind," the soldier shouted anxiously to us.

I have no chance to answer now, I can only desperately hold on to that branch and try my best not to be blown away by the wind. If I am blown away, is there any chance of survival?

Everyone knows how fierce the storm was. Luckily, we chose to stand on a foxtail grass. Otherwise, I'm worried that we would have been blown away by the roots along with any other grass, and that would have been a tragedy for us.

The rain was unusually cold when it hit my body, and the wind felt like knives cutting into my skin, causing excruciating pain.

Every now and then, small blades of grass, dirt, leaves, and the like would fly past. Although they wouldn't cause any harm, it would still sting a lot if they brushed against my skin.

"When will this damn wind stop?" I cried out with great difficulty. I didn't know how much longer I could hold on if this continued.

"Just hold on a little longer, it shouldn't be too long. This downpour will only last a few minutes," the soldier ant said to me with difficulty, clinging to a branch.

I know I should persevere, but perseverance isn't as simple as just saying it. I have absolutely no strength left in my body, and I can't even feel the tail that's wrapped around the branches.

Even those things under my body, which I don't know if they're called little tentacles or something like a washing plate, were truly exhausted. I really couldn't hold on any longer.

The wind was so strong...
