Chapter 137 Bullet Ant

If you get bitten accidentally, it will be a real pain.

He Jinzhou lowered his eyes to look at the person beside him, somewhat looking forward to the scene of the girl communicating with those mutant bullet ants: "Xiao Jili, why don't you go talk to them? Let us pass."

Before Ji Li could say anything, Lin Qingyue pulled his friend aside and said sternly, "Don't give me bad advice. What if we can't communicate?"

"Brother Qingyue, I can go and try..."

Ji Li didn't think it was a big deal. The route they chose was the fastest way through this area. Taking a detour would be a waste of time. It would be better to give it a try. Even if they couldn't communicate, she could still get away safely.

"no!"

Ji Yang didn't want his sister to take risks: "Brother Lin is right, what if we can't communicate?"

Ji Yang glanced at He Jinzhou, who was pulled aside and wearing sunglasses, his eyes full of condemnation. Does this guy who wears sunglasses regardless of whether it is broad day or night want to harm Lili?
He Jinzhou noticed the clear condemnation in Ji Yang's eyes, his smile disappeared, and he said nothing.

He swore that he had no intention of harming Jili, absolutely not! He just wanted to see how girls communicated with mutant animals.

"But taking a detour is a waste of time. I'll just communicate with them and come back immediately if it doesn't work." The little girl hugged her brother Ji Yang's arm and shook it, then looked at Pei Ji, "Captain, what do you think?"

Pei Ji met the girl's eager gaze and paused: "I think we can give it a try."

"Brother Pei, you..."

Ji Yang still didn't want his sister to go.

Pei Ji interrupted him: "I'll go with you, nothing will happen."

Brother Pei and his sister are together. Ji Yang agreed, but still reminded: "Okay, Brother Pei and Lili, you two should be careful and don't get bitten."

In this way, Ji Li and Pei Ji stepped on the dead branches and leaves on the ground and came to the edge of the bullet ant's territory.

The ant family system is very strict, with clear hierarchy and division of labor within the group. They are divided into queen ants, male ants, worker ants and soldier ants, each with their own duties.

The soldier ants responsible for patrolling the territory smelled the scent of humans and immediately summoned their companions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Their sense of smell is very sensitive, and they can judge the position and direction through various molecules floating in the air, and convert this signal into nerve signal, which is transmitted to the brain for analysis and processing.

Soon, a dozen soldier ants arrived at the edge of the territory and looked at the humans who appeared.

Ji Li squatted down and took the lead in greeting them in a friendly manner: "Hello."

Fist-sized soldier ants stood in a row. They all looked at Ji Li, smelling the sweet scent emanating from the humans and hearing the humans talking to them.

It was startled at first, and then the pair of antennae on its head trembled and secreted pheromones.

Ants communicate and transmit information by releasing pheromones.

The amazing thing is that Ji Li understood even though they didn't make any sound.

Can she communicate with any animal as long as it is not infected? Ji Li thought silently, squatting on the ground with her hands supporting her cheeks and looking at the communicating soldier ants.

[Is it Cub? ]

[The cub has come to our territory]

[Go and report to Her Majesty the Queen]

Soon, a soldier ant walked on six legs to the depths of the nest and reported to the queen ant who was enjoying the food: "Your Majesty, the cubs have arrived in our territory."

The queen ant is twice as big as other bullet ants. Its shell is bright red and its two pincers are extremely sharp.

"Zai Zai?"

What cub?
The queen ant came to the edge of the territory, and the moment she saw Ji Li, she immediately stepped forward on her six legs. The old mother's heart became excited, and the pair of antennae on her head trembled.

[Zizi, what are you doing in our ant colony? ]

Ji Li first greeted politely: "Hello, Your Majesty." Then he said, "We want to pass through here, so is it okay to ask?"

[Of course, baby]

"thank you all."

Ji Li took out some raw meat and candies from the storage space and placed them on the ground: "These are for you." Well, a gift.

Because they were in a hurry and didn't stay for long, Ji Li stood up again and looked at Pei Ji who had been standing beside her: "Captain, let's go, the Queen Ant agreed!"

Pei didn't know how the girl communicated with the bullet ants. He was just a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions: "Well, let's go."

"How's Lili?"

When they came back, Ji Yang immediately asked.

"They agreed to let us pass."

He Jinzhou put on his signature smile again, rubbed against the girl and said, "I said Xiao Jili could do it."

Ji Yang didn't say a word.

Lin Qingyue expressed helplessness.

"Yes, yes, I can do it." Ji Li didn't notice anything was wrong and urged, "Let's go. Let's try to complete the challenge and get out of this rainforest within a month!"

Well, this is the current plan, but I don’t know if there will be any changes, so we’ll see.

Passing through the territory of the bullet ants, they continued on their way into the jungle that blocked out the sun.

It was a hot and humid environment and I didn’t know how long I had been walking.

Ji Li only felt dizzy and her neck seemed to be burning. She raised her hand and pressed the skin on her neck. The burning sensation passed into her palm, which was really hot.

"Xiao Jili, what's wrong with you?"

He Jinzhou was walking at the back. He noticed the situation, took two steps forward, and his eyes fell on the skin of the girl's neck. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"what?"

Ji Li was still confused.

What's going on?

"What's wrong with Lili?"

Ji Yang immediately leaned over to take a look, and was horrified: "How did this happen?!"

The girl has very fair skin, so the dark lines on her neck are particularly obvious. The black lines cover a small area of fair skin, which looks shocking.

Ji Li couldn't see it herself, she just felt it was very hot.

“…I don’t know. Is it serious?”

Pei Ji observed silently, then suddenly raised his hand to touch it, his expression changing slightly: "It's very hot." He looked at Ji Li, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The latter nodded: "I feel a little dizzy."

"Brother Pei, what's going on? Is Lili okay?" Ji Yang was a little nervous after the series of accidents. He stared at his sister with his eyes wide open and carefully touched her neck. "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's just hot."

Ji Li vaguely felt that it was related to the monster, but it was just a guess, so she didn't say anything.

Lin Qingyue took his eyes away from the girl's neck and looked up at the sky: "It's getting dark. Let's find a place to camp first and talk later."

"Can you still walk?"

Pei asked.

"Okay, let's find a place to rest first." Ji Li didn't care much about the problem with her neck.

I'm already lying down, so I can just fall down.

Okay, okay, don’t take it seriously, she was just joking QAQ.
