After all, each tribe has a different way of life, and it is difficult to completely unify the living habits of all insects. Due to lack of understanding and some strange superiority, disagreements and ridicule are also very normal things. The difference is that those with small fists can only be ridiculed, while those with big fists can beat the opponent until they can no longer be ridiculed.

Don't you see that this solves the problem? No matter how barbaric you are, no insect will dare to seize on this and wantonly mock your country and civilization.

Therefore, to solve the problem, we must start from the source, then everything will be much simpler and clearer.

Now, this reception hall, which has been closed due to the desolate area and the difficulty of attracting more foreign races, finally has a chance to reopen.

The guard explained everything very clearly, both the country and what they wanted.

When hearing that a country was going to unconditionally raise the white flag and surrender to them, Hornet did not react at first. After all, whether it was the mantis, the bees, or the spiders, they were not cowardly guys. A kingdom that could survive in such a place had to know something.

And how could this kingdom, which she had never even heard of, unconditionally raise the white flag and surrender?

After thinking about it for a moment, she remembered the time when she had sent troops to fight purely for the sake of battle.

Then, the country that was completely crushed once must belong to the guy who came to beg for mercy today.

She had no interest in this unfortunate little country. It was poor and had only population as a resource, but this Holy Nest was not short of population. They even had their own talents. However, it was not necessary to strangle them completely.

Sitting at the pinnacle of power for such a long time has more or less had some impact on Honeyt. At least she has begun to learn to understand the decision made by the White King back then. Of course, if she were to do it alone, she would never go down this path again.

Understanding is understanding, and action is action. They are two different things. It would be terrible to confuse the two.

Hornet didn't have that much sympathy for this ruined kingdom, but he wasn't so ruthless and cruel as to kill without mercy. However, it wouldn't be easy to just ignore it. This behavior of keeping the other party hanging, not letting them fall into complete despair but not giving them much hope, was even more cruel than the former.

After some thought, she looked at the pile of documents and decisively decided to hand the matter over to the ghost. It was time to let Green do more. It was too good to let Green take advantage of the situation every day.

The final result was that the ghost sat on the high throne, looking around from time to time. Green and Chunchun stood on his left and right, and did not sit on the two seats next to him.

Normally, when Hodgson sat there, Green and Chunchun sat down. This meant they were politically equal, or at least not too far apart. After all, Chunchun was Hodgson's brother. It was impossible for Green to be so condescending. Adjusting the two chairs next to him to be slightly lower than the middle one was Green's biggest concession. This was based on the premise that Chunchun sat at the same height as him. Otherwise, there would be a quarrel.

From time to time, a small black ball would climb up from the mask behind the ghost to the top of its head, pop out and then shrink back.

That was the little robot that Tony Stark gave to Ghost, but it had a new name. The authority to name it was given to Ghost at that time. Ghost happily gave the little robot a name that was quite characteristic of Hallownest in the language of Hallownest. It was pronounced "Doc", which means darkness.

As for why the little fellow came over, it was because it volunteered. It felt that the rich knowledge it had accumulated would definitely be of help to the ghost, and the ghost did not refuse. Under a peaceful gaze, the ghost squatted down, picked up the other person, and slowly placed it on top of its head.

At the beginning, the little robot wanted to turn into a small and exquisite crown. After all, in Doc's impression, the crown is something that represents power. But the ghost had no interest in such things and successfully frustrated its enthusiasm. Finally, in its trance, the matter came to nothing.

Directly below the ghost, Maya was kneeling on a purple carpet with gold edges. She bowed her head reverently, her forehead on the ground, not daring to look up.

In this posture, the fat belly sticks up high, which is quite funny.

The ghost looked at the insect kneeling on the ground in silence for a while, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Maya, kneeling on the ground, faced the silent scene, becoming even more panicked. Failed negotiations or even worse outcomes kept flashing through her mind. The long silence and stillness only fueled the atmosphere of fear, as if you knew you were going to die soon, but you didn't know when. The waiting process was enough to drive a person crazy.

In fact, the ghost had no idea who this guy was. Honey subconsciously assumed that the ghost knew, so he didn't explain in too much detail. He just gave a brief explanation and then continued to struggle with the endless documents.

If the Doctor saw this, he would probably have a lot of common topics with her.

A cell man who was already becoming a king and Tony Stark, whose experiment could never be completed, both gave a thumbs up.

So it didn't know what to say, but fortunately the bug underneath kept its head down and didn't raise it, so the ghost wasn't particularly embarrassed.

Not knowing the facts, Doc had no idea what to do. He could only silently reduce his presence and think over and over again about his career as a machine.

Green and Chunchun did remember it, but the ghost didn't speak, and they wouldn't speak without permission.

The whole atmosphere here suddenly cooled down, as if winter had arrived overnight. It was freezing cold and there was no sound. The pressure kept growing, almost crushing Maya.

She spent so much time mustering up the courage to take this step, but when it came to the last moment, she didn't even have the courage to speak.

413 I don't care at all

Perhaps it was too quiet, Green couldn't help but look around with an idle look.

It is very dark deep underground, and not much light penetrates through the transparent glass windows. Instead, the bright and magnificent colors of the hall seep out. Compared with the previous interiors that mostly chose a purple and gray interweaving, the overall color tone is more inclined to black and white.

The pure black void means the divine power, and the white soul symbolizes the towering royal power.

Both the color matching and the style are very attentive.

Green suppressed the slight upward curve of his mouth, but the sarcasm in his eyes could not be concealed.

The bug was indeed interested, but what was the point of trying so hard to please it? If you can't control your hands, can't control your heart, and are too greedy, then nothing you do can erase or change it.

Hodgson wouldn't be adopted by such a small favor, and his father wouldn't care at all. That guy's wishful thinking turned into nothing, or maybe he felt that he had so much power that he dared to dream of things he shouldn't dream of? They always never learn from their mistakes and continue to die.

Until he strode into the other party's manor where a carnival was in progress, the other party was still immersed in those false rights, as if he could not believe his arrival, and then the bug died.

He died a worthless death, perhaps even showing some signs of pain before his death, but who would care? He wouldn't care.

I wonder if the guy kneeling below who is doing evil will repeat the same path as that guy, be burned to ashes by his flames, and disappear from sight forever. Don't pollute his father's temple.

He glanced coldly at Maya who was still kneeling, feeling annoyed that this guy was just wasting time. He was already trying his best to resist the urge to burn the other party to ashes. If the other party was still so ignorant, then when his father allowed him to do it, he would not mind burning the fire a little longer, long enough to burn the guy bit by bit from the inside out, long enough for the other party to watch himself being burned to death.

The ghost sat on the throne unconsciously, lost in thought. Since the other party did not speak, it ignored the other party and just thought about where to go for fun next. On the surface, the ghost supported his chin with one hand on the side of the throne, but in fact, the void in his body had already begun to search for the snacks given to him by Tony Stark.

As soon as it received the snacks, it wanted to eat them. The ghost subconsciously wanted to take the snacks out, but perhaps because Honeydew had been nagging too much, it realized that this was not a place for it to relax and it must know some rules. So the ghost looked around with a guilty conscience.

Very good, those who are kneeling on the ground are still kneeling, and those who are looking straight ahead are still looking straight ahead. You can eat with confidence.

So the ghost quietly took out a bag of fried chicken and prepared to open it.

But Chuncui saw all of this, and his expression changed immediately. He was about to stop it without thinking, but before he could move, he felt something was wrong and spoke up immediately.

"You should speak now. Silence is meaningless."

"Yes."

Sure enough, Chunchun's words immediately startled the ghost. He looked over and saw that Chunchun had started talking and the people below also began to respond. However, he could only put his potato chips back regretfully, pretend to be serious, and sit upright on the throne.

Following the pure opening, Green immediately followed up with merciless sarcasm.

"I don't remember you being mute. Weren't you quite eloquent and courageous on the battlefield? Why are you so weak now? Have all the armor on your body been taken away?"

Green never liked to be the first to stick his head out, but he didn't like the purely gentle temperament or the bland words. The other party had made such a huge mistake, so there was no need to be nice to him.

Green said, "Speak up! Don't just stand there like a log! Don't be dumb! Didn't you come here to ask for something? Why don't you speak?"

"Are you afraid? If you were afraid, why did you do that in the first place? A loser should be aware of his mistakes."

Maya tried her best to suppress the thought of fighting with the other party, restrained her inner impulse, and could not say a word.

Green noticed this and smiled even more gracefully. "Are you trembling with fear? Listen, this isn't a place where you can waste your time. If you can't figure out what you should say or what you should do, you'd better leave this place as soon as possible and save us precious time."

Faced with this scene, Purely Calm listened quietly with the weapon in hand. As usual, it would not take the initiative to do anything. After all, Green's actions were not excessive, and it had no reason to stop him.

"I, I, I am here on behalf of the country to request you to join us. We are willing to obey your command unconditionally and become your vassal." With these words, it seemed as if the last bit of her backbone was broken off at once. Maya's clenched fists gradually loosened. She raised her head, revealing a lifeless and stiff smile, and quietly waited for the judgment to come.

Green shut up immediately after hearing the other party's request, because he had not seen the ghost's attitude yet. He would not take any action before his father made a decision, as that would be too rude.

He stared at the other person intently, also waiting for the result of the trial.

But the ghost just shifted sleepily and nodded casually.

The ghost saw nothing wrong with this. What was wrong with voluntarily joining a kingdom willing to obey? As for who the other party was, it still had no idea. It only suspected that Green had done something during its absence.

As the ghost nodded, the insects below raised their heads in ecstasy, while Green put away the flame in his hand in disappointment. Since his father agreed, he would not make any more tricks. He didn't believe that Chunchun would tolerate his tricks as much as he did now if he found out about them.

And what he said just now was purely what he was thinking. That guy is not that generous, nor that kind-hearted, let alone kind.

But if it was a small action like this that would affect his image in the ghost's mind, that guy would definitely report him without mercy. He had already seen how difficult this guy was, at least not as he seemed on the surface.

Seeing the other party finally leave with tears of gratitude, the ghost couldn't help but yawn. Before Green and Chunchun could react, he clicked the teleport button in the group and disappeared on the spot.

414 Steve, what are you doing?

The ghost ran away swiftly and decisively. By the time Chunchun and Green reacted, it had already run away with the little machine Doc above its head, without even catching the shadow of its cloak.

As soon as he landed, he felt the scorching heat from hell, but the ghost only felt warm, even a little cozy and comfortable, like taking a hot spring bath. It would be even better if there was a little soul.

"I'm giving it back to you. I knew you were worthy of being my good brother!" As soon as Steve saw the ghost coming, he greeted him with a smile. He immediately walked over enthusiastically and prepared to hug him, but he only hugged air, because the ghost came to the edge of the lava pool at some point, and then lowered his head and looked down.

"Overheat, overheat, overheat. It's so hot, so hot, so hot, so hot, so hot." Doc couldn't stay in the ghost's body any longer, so he had to jump off the ghost's body and rolled on the ground.

It looked at the pool of magma with some confusion. It was obviously made of a very special material, and it was even possible to soak in the magma pool. So it should be able to easily endure such high temperatures, but it really couldn't stand the burns.

"? Ghost." Steve shouted in some surprise and scratched his head in confusion.

The surrounding pig spirits had heard Steve talk about this scene a long time ago and were not surprised. After all, Steve had been praising his friend named Ghost for nearly half an hour, and his ears were almost callused from hearing it.

The ghost's eyes were fixed on the pool of sparkling magma, feeling the warm air brushing against his body.

Would it be warmer if I jumped?

Adhering to the principle of doing what he thought, the ghost jumped down decisively. Steve was startled and subconsciously wanted to stop it, but he only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ghost bathing peacefully in it.

The five piglins were quite calm. There were so many monsters in hell that could bubble around in the lava, and some could even walk on the lava.

The ghost silently poked his head out of the lava, stretched his arms a little higher, and held up the wooden sign to prevent it from being burned.

[Very warm, together]

It made the invitation without any roundabout way, because the scorching heat was so comfortable that the ghost even felt like he was going to melt here wholeheartedly.

Steve laughed awkwardly and was about to refuse, but he looked at the ghost and was silent for a long time, unable to speak.

Who can resist such a cute ghost?!

With a strange roar deep in his heart, Steve drank a bottle of water and jumped down without hesitation.

That bottle of potion was a fire resistance potion, which he had made not long ago with the help of Nether Wart and Magma Cream. As for the Nether Wart and Magma Cream, they were not obtained by picking or killing, but were obtained through trading with Piglins.

The leader of the group of piglins probably finally couldn't stand Steve teasing his companions all the time, so he took out some of the things he brought with him when he went out and exchanged them with him, including these two items.

Red particles emerged from his body.

Without any hesitation, he jumped into the lava with a plop, counting the seconds to see how long he could stay in there, and then he endured the high temperature that was almost burning him dry and praised the warmth here.

This action stunned Val who was watching beside him. He had no words to complain about Steve's strange behavior. Now he really wondered if Steve had left his brain at home when he went out?

The piglins over there were very surprised by Steve's behavior. They knew very well that this guy, known as the devil, would burn after touching the lava just like them, but now he was not afraid at all.

Seeing this, they whispered to each other, wondering how much gold this potion could fetch if it could be reproduced and crafted at will? And what price should be listed? But whether it was sold to those gray-skinned individuals or circulated within their own tribe, it had a considerable market.

At this moment, the five of them looked at Steve with no longer complicated eyes, but lit up in unison, as if they had seen a huge treasure.

As expected of a demon! So awesome!

The name was originally used to warn and admonish, but now it has changed its meaning under the temptation of interests.

Steve soaked for a while, and seeing that the ghost had no intention of getting up, and the potion buff on his body was about to expire, he did not dare to hesitate any longer and got up immediately.

He had to stay in there any longer or he would be burned to ashes.

There was no bed for him to sleep on in hell, and he couldn't leave any marks there. Now it was burned to ashes, and everything on him would have to fall off, and he didn't know how long it would take to get here.

The worst thing was that he had no map and couldn't remember the way. There were no landmarks in hell. For a person with poor directions like him, it would be impossible to find the way here by himself.

When he thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but shudder and gave up the idea of ​​risking his life.

Later he saw that the ghost really liked it, but he couldn't delay too long so he made a deal with the ghost.

"Ghost, let me do a little experiment, okay? If you really want the cannon, or the lava, I should be able to take you on a walk while we soak it."

Steve scratched his head and asked. Seeing the ghost nodded in agreement, he immediately took the empty bucket and scooped a bucket of lava, and scooped the ghost in as well.

What he expected really came true. The ghost really turned into something similar to a tropical fish barrel, with some minor differences.

For example, the bucket became a physical object that he needed to carry, rather than a small cube-like object. When he carried the bucket, he could clearly see the ghosts soaking peacefully in it, splashing some lava from time to time, which looked particularly cute.

At the same time, they all ignored the other little guy who came with the ghost. The poor little robot Doc was clinging to the edge of the barrel in a daze, almost spinning around in a hurry.

There's no internet signal here, so it can't connect to Tony Stark's network, and it can't ask for help or do anything else.

The originally dark color was rapidly fading, and the soft body was shaking as if it was sad.

Steve had only taken a few steps when the heavy weight finally made him notice the pitiful-looking little guy. He reached out and picked it up, then casually put it on the ground.

He would never carry such a heavy thing forward, especially since it was made by Tony Stark.

He was afraid that his hand would break if he held it for a little longer, so for the sake of his hands, he pretended not to see it.

415 Past

After arriving at the place, Steve put down the bucket and began to think about how to let the ghost out?

The ghost rubbed his eyes in a daze, raised his hand to grab the edge of the iron barrel, struggled to climb out of the cow entourage, rolled twice on the ground, habitually twisted the cloak that was not wet at all, shook his body, and returned to normal in a moment.
