Ye An

The return trip was much faster than expected.

With the help of the black ant colony, some difficult sections can be easily passed.Encountering a narrow road hanging on the rock wall, the ant colony directly carried the camel and walked through the gravel-filled tunnel, which shortened the time by nearly half compared to when Ye An came.

Pass through the most difficult corridor, not far from the place where you enter the cave.

Before leaving, Ye An and Laqiwa blocked the entrance of the cave with bluestones to prevent the flood from pouring in.

Unexpectedly, the water flow was too fast, and during the time they left, a gap in the bluestone was washed away, and a large amount of muddy river water flowed into the tunnel, and the ground was knee-deep in water.

On such a road section, camels and mutant tigers are not a problem, but it is somewhat difficult for the black ant colony to pass.

"stop."

Ye An signaled the team to stop, turned over and jumped off the camel's back, crossed the raised bluestones, and stepped into the muddy muddy water.

There are sharp stones and shattered bones under the water, and there is a lot of mud, which can be stepped on if you are not careful.

Ye An waded for a distance, his eyes pierced the darkness, and looked at the entrance of the cave when he came.

With the depth of the stagnant water, it is impossible for the ant colony to pass through without a point of leverage.Fortunately, the distance from his position to the entrance of the cave is not too far, so it is not too difficult to move stones and build a temporary stone bridge.

The biggest difficulty lies outside the cave.

Remove the bluestones blocking the road, and the hills are submerged by floods. If you can't pass through the floods, let alone ant colonies, even camels and mutant tigers will be in trouble.

Just as he was thinking hard, the animal skin bag hanging around his waist glowed again.

Ye An had assimilated the little caterpillar before, and the connection between them has never been broken.He could clearly perceive the emotions and thoughts of Xiao Qingchong, and what was unexpected was that the other party could also understand the difficulties Ye An encountered.

The light became brighter and brighter, and the little guy in the bag stretched out his body one after another, the plaque on the top of his forehead reappeared, and his big black eyes seemed to be able to look through the animal skin bag to look at the turbid water.

Ye An noticed the change of the little caterpillar, and when he was feeling puzzled, there was a sudden wave in the stagnant water.

Large sprays appeared on the originally calm water surface, bean-sized water droplets splashed up, cascaded and collided, shattered and merged in an instant, and fell back into the water again.

The strange scene attracted the attention of Ye An and others. The mutant tiger and the camel seemed to sense danger and became vigilant at the same time.The black ants also waved their tentacles, ready to start fighting at any time.

Ye An sensed that there were a huge number of things underwater, but he didn't show any hostility.

Just when he was concentrating on it and was about to find out, the boiling water suddenly calmed down, and then, a water line was sunken from the center of the water flow.

The waterline extended quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it led from Ye An's feet to the exit.

As the waterline continued to widen, the waterways were miraculously divided.

Isolating the stagnant water are countless water bugs, connected to each other with their foot hooks, densely crowded together without leaving any gaps, as if two transparent walls rose from the ground.

Everything happened in just a few minutes. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe such a miracle.

Ye An lowered his head to look at the animal skin bag, and he could clearly feel the emotion of the little caterpillar at the moment.

"Thanks."

This spectacle not only solved his problem, but also allowed him to further confirm the peculiarity of the little caterpillar.

No wonder the islanders in Rachiva's mouth spared no expense to buy them.

The ability to summon and drive large swarms of insects is truly rare.And, judging by all indications, they were capable of more than that.

"I really found a treasure." Ye An said to himself.

He was absolutely sure that no one among the bandits, including Xilian and Signe, knew the peculiarity of the little caterpillar.If they had known, they would never have piled the looted corn into the warehouse.

However, if there is no way to communicate, it is extremely dangerous to raise these little guys rashly.

Ye An can perceive the thinking of the little caterpillars, so he can naturally understand their personalities.

If you can't please them, the end will definitely not be good, maybe you will be eaten by the swarm, and you will end up with nothing left.

A passage appeared and the team was able to move on.

Ye An continued to communicate with Xiaoqingchong, whether he could help isolate the flood outside the cave and let the team return to the boat safely.The little caterpillars answered that there is no problem, but in return, they need more crystals.

"Of course." There are a large number of crystallized snapping turtle shells stored on the isolated island. Ye An, who is rich and powerful, did not hesitate for a moment, let alone bargain, and agreed to their request on the spot.And promised to give them a complete snapping tortoise shell, with the size and food intake of a small caterpillar, living in it every day, it may not be able to digest it in a year or so.

Ye An pictured a bright future in his mind, and passed it on to Xiaoqingchong.

The little guys in the animal skin bag became extremely excited, and soon, all the water insects in the nearby waters were summoned, flocking to the hole at the bottom of the hill, gathering together regardless of species, forming a long and narrow underwater channel, leading directly to the wooden boat berth.

This passage appeared very suddenly, and the people who stayed on the boat didn't know the details, and immediately became vigilant.

"what happened?"

"I don't know."

"Like water bugs, but there are too many of them."

The women approached the bow and observed the underwater situation, all of them were amazed, unable to guess the reason for the appearance of these water insects.

At this moment, birdsong came from the sky, and a large number of mutated birds were attracted, hovering in the river where the water bugs gathered, preparing to have a feast.

The first mutated bird swooped down, and suddenly a large number of water arrows flew out of the water surface, densely upward like steel needles.The mutated bird had no time to dodge, was pierced into a sieve on the spot, struggled a few times and fell into the water.

Schools of fish that were also attracted gathered around the channel, hovering near the swarm of insects, and couldn't find a place to go down for a while.

Under the surface of the water, Ye An led the camel through the channel built by the insect swarm. His eyes passed through the transparent water insects, and he could clearly see the school of fish swimming nearby.

This feeling is wonderful, like being in a natural aquarium, which is dizzying.

It was the first time for Rachiva and the others to see such a spectacle, and they couldn't help admiring it.

Mutant tigers and camels are obviously not used to it, especially camels, which are used to living on land, and now being underwater is really a test for them.

On the other hand, the black ant colony has always been very calm.It was only when they stepped onto the tunnel that the fear of the water bug was aroused, and Ye An and the little green insect took turns to appease them so that the tunnel did not collapse.

Surrounded by fish and overlooked by birds, the team passed through the water safely and emerged above the water.

A large group of water bugs pave the platform and form a rope ladder, even a camel carrying a heavy load can easily board the wooden boat.

"It's my lord, my lord is back!"

The people waiting on the boat were overjoyed, and immediately lowered the rope to help Ye An and others board the boat.

After all the supplies were transported to the deck, the water bug swarm quickly dispersed.If they don't go, they will surely become a delicious meal for birds and fish.

"Fortunately, the boat is big enough." Looking at the camels crowded on the deck, Rachiva sighed.

Ye An picked up a cloth towel, and while drying the water droplets on his face and hair, he assimilated the black ant colony, and told the other party that when the boat left the tributary and returned to the main river, he would send them ashore and let them return to the ant nest.

Unexpectedly, the black ant colony refused.

"Walk with me?" Ye An stopped and confirmed again and again.

The black ant colony separated to the two sides, and several larger black ants came out.

Ye An bent down to observe them carefully, and found that one of them turned out to be a young ant queen!

The group of black ants he contacted was about to divide their nests, and when they met Ye An who came to their door, they were paid and also gained transport power, so they were completely sleepy and met pillows.

So, he was plotted by a group of black ants?

Knowing the detailed plan of the ant colony, Ye An was speechless for a long time.
