Chapter 421 The Mutation in the Cave 89
Standing atop the cave, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, gazed at the chaotic battlefield of the ant tribes in the distance, his heart filled with worry. In recent days, the conflict between the ant tribes had escalated, and the situation was becoming increasingly tense.
"My lord, the internal strife within the ant tribe is so severe now, what should we do?" Red Ant Li asked with great concern.
Zhang Ying frowned, her eyes resolute, and said, "We can no longer sit idly by; we must find a way to end this conflict."
At this moment, King Jun of the Black Ants led his army of black ants and charged in fiercely, shouting, "Zhang Ying, today is your end!"
Zhang Ying responded fearlessly, "Wang Jun, why did you start this pointless war?"
Wang Jun sneered, "This territory rightfully belongs to us Black Ants. You Red Ants can forget about it!"
Tensions were high between the two sides, and a major battle was about to erupt. Just then, a sharp bird cry suddenly rang out from the sky. A flock of small birds flew rapidly towards them, their eyes filled with ferocity, as if they were controlled by some evil force.
"Oh no, it's the Little Bird War Machine!" the termite king Li Ming cried out in terror.
These little birds are incredibly fast; they instantly dart into the ant colony and begin a frenzied attack. Their sharp claws and beaks are like blades, injuring ants wherever they go.
"Everyone be careful!" Zhang Ying shouted, directing the red ants to resist.
The ant tribe fought individually, but faced with such a powerful and bizarre enemy, they gradually became overwhelmed.
"How did this little bird suddenly become so powerful?" King Kai, the brown ant king, asked in bewilderment as he waved his antennae to defend himself.
Just as the battle reached its climax, a larger bird suddenly mutated. Its body rapidly expanded, its wings became wider and more powerful, and it spewed out a plume of black smoke from its mouth.
"Oh no, this mutated bird is even more dangerous!" shouted Lin Fei, the Blue Ant King.
Wherever the mutated bird went, smoke filled the air, and the ants were choked and coughed incessantly, greatly reducing their fighting ability.
"We must find a way to deal with this mutated bird!" said Wang Zhao, the Green Ant King, anxiously.
Red Ant General Ji La loudly proposed, "Your Majesty, let me lead some of my brothers to hold it back!"
Zhang Ying nodded: "Okay, but be careful!"
Ji La led a swarm of red ants toward the mutated bird, nimbly dodging its attacks and trying to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Seeing this, Black Ant King Wang Jun seized the opportunity and shouted, "Brothers, let's attack the red ants with all our might now!"
Led by Wang Jun, the black ant army launched an even fiercer attack on the red ant colony. The red ants were attacked from both sides, and their situation was extremely critical.
"We can't let them succeed!" shouted Red Ant Li. He disregarded the danger and rushed towards the black ant swarm, engaging in a fierce battle with the black ants.
Just then, the termite king Li Ming came up with an idea. He shouted to the termites, "Everyone, concentrate your strength and breathe fire at the feet of that mutated bird!"
The termites spewed flames, and the fire gradually spread to the feet of the mutated bird. Startled by the flames, the mutated bird panicked and temporarily stopped attacking the red ants, flapping its wings in an attempt to escape the fire.
This gave the red ants a brief respite. Taking advantage of the moment, the red ant queen, Zhang Ying, shouted, "All red ants, counterattack!"
The red ant army, its morale greatly boosted, charged towards the black ant swarm. The two sides were once again embroiled in a chaotic battle.
The mutated bird seemed even more enraged by the flames. It suddenly spread its wings and took flight, then swooped down on the ant colony, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
"Scatter quickly!" Zhang Ying shouted.
The ants scattered and tried to escape, but many were still hit by the mutated birds.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, the yellow ant king, Li Hua, suddenly had an idea. He said to the yellow ants, "We yellow ants are good at digging; perhaps we can dig traps around the cave and trap this mutated bird!"
The yellow ants immediately sprang into action, quickly digging around the cave. Soon, several large pits appeared in the area where the mutated bird might have passed.
At this moment, the mutated bird charged towards the ant colony again. Just as it was about to fall into the trap, it suddenly seemed to sense the danger, made a sharp turn in the air, and avoided the trap.
But this turn caused it to rush towards the Black Ant King, Wang Jun. Wang Jun was terrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
At this critical moment, General Green Ant Xinpei stepped forward. He used his body to block the attack of the mutated bird, and was instantly knocked to the ground, severely injured.
"Newly brewed wine!" Wang Zhao, the king of green ants, cried out in grief.
Seeing this, the ants became even more enraged. They joined forces and launched a final attack on the mutated bird.
Red Ant General Ji Kai seized the opportunity, leaping onto the back of the mutated bird and tightly wrapping his antennae around its neck. The other ants swarmed forward, attacking the mutated bird in various ways.
The mutated bird struggled, emitting mournful cries. Finally, under the combined attack of the ants, it gradually lost its ability to resist and collapsed to the ground.
The ants cheered, but the victory came at a heavy price. The battlefield was littered with the corpses of many ants, and everyone was immersed in grief.
Looking at the devastation before him, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, was filled with mixed emotions. He shouted to his ant tribe, "This war has caused us heavy losses, but we cannot give up. We must unite, rebuild our homes, and prevent similar crises from happening again!"
The other ant queens nodded in agreement. Through this great battle, the ant colony deeply understood the importance of unity. They began to work together to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and plan for the future.
In the days that followed, the ants gradually recovered. They learned from their experience, strengthened their defenses, and began exploring ways to coexist harmoniously with other creatures. And the land once ravaged by war, thanks to the ants' efforts, gradually regained its vitality and tranquility.
His gaze swept across the intricate ant colony below. Beside him, his prime minister, Red Ant Li, bowed slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, the summons of all the ant kings today must be to discuss a major battle?"
Zhang Ying nodded slightly, her expression grave: "Recently, we have discovered that the Black Ant Clan has been making frequent unusual movements at the border of their territory, which may indicate their intention to invade."
At this moment, King Wang Jun of the Black Ant Kingdom arrived hastily with Prime Minister Zhang Yuan of the Black Ant Kingdom. Wang Jun looked disdainful: "Zhang Ying, what business do you have with us? Do you intend to stir up another pointless fight?"
Zhang Ying snorted coldly: "Wang Jun, your Black Ant Clan's petty tricks on the border cannot escape my notice."
Wang Jun burst into laughter: "So what? There are countless ant nests in the world, can't our black ant tribe expand?"
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the termite king Li Ming, the yellow ant king Li Hua, the brown ant king Wang Kai, the blue ant king Lin Fei, and the green ant king Wang Zhao also arrived one after another.
Termite King Li Ming slowly swayed his antennae: "Everyone, this tense atmosphere is not appropriate."
Yellow Ant King Li Hua chimed in, "Yes, let's not rush into arguing, let's see what's going on."
Zhang Ying spoke again: "As I just said, the Black Ant Clan has been making unusual moves at the border recently, which may be detrimental to our Red Ant Clan."
Wang Jun immediately retorted, "Hmph, don't make baseless accusations here. My Black Ant Clan acts with integrity and uprightness."
King Wang Kai of the Brown Ants frowned: "Stop arguing. The situation is unclear right now, and starting a war rashly will not benefit anyone."
Blue Ant King Lin Fei nodded in agreement: "That's right. The most urgent thing is to figure out the situation before making any plans."
Just then, a scout ant rushed over and reported to Zhang Ying: "Your Majesty, we have discovered a small team of black ants transporting some strange objects toward our territory, which appear to be war machines."
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Black Ant King Wang Jun's face darkened: "Zhang Ying, don't make a mountain out of a molehill."
Zhang Ying glared at him: "The facts are right in front of us. Are we going to wait until they're at the gates before we take action?"
Termite King Li Ming pondered for a moment: "Now it seems that we really can't just sit idly by. But if we start a war rashly, we might fall into the trap of the Black Ant Clan."
Yellow Ant King Li Hua nodded: "Brother Li is right, we need to proceed with caution. Perhaps we should first send out a joint reconnaissance team to further investigate the intentions of the Black Ant Clan and the details of those war machines."
Everyone agreed. Soon, a joint reconnaissance team composed of various ant tribes set off.
After some investigation, the reconnaissance team finally brought back definite news. Green Ant King Wang Zhao said with a solemn expression, "Those war machines are a new type of attack device with tremendous power. If the Black Ant Clan really uses them to attack, I'm afraid we will have a hard time resisting them."
Red Ant King Zhang Ying gripped his antennae tightly: "So what do we do now? Are we just going to let the black ant tribe run rampant like this?"
Black Ant King Wang Jun suddenly sneered: "Zhang Ying, do you think this can scare our Black Ant Clan? Those war machines are nothing but bluffing devices."
The brown ant king, Wang Kai, angrily retorted, "Wang Jun, even at this point, you're still being stubborn!"
Blue Ant King Lin Fei proposed: "Since the Black Ant Clan is so stubborn, we might as well unite and take the initiative to destroy their war machine manufacturing sites and cut off their retreat."
This proposal received the support of most of the ant kings. Thus, a massive united army of red ants, white ants, yellow ants, brown ants, blue ants, and green ants marched towards the territory of the black ant tribe.
Along the way, the soldiers of each ant tribe worked together with high morale. However, when the army approached the territory of the black ant tribe, they were ambushed by the black ant tribe.
Standing on a high place, Black Ant King Wang Jun shouted loudly, "You overconfident fools, daring to deliver yourselves to my doorstep!"
Red Ant King Zhang Ying, fearless, commanded his army: "Brothers, don't be afraid! We are a righteous army, charging to protect the ant nest!"
The two sides instantly engaged in fierce combat. On the battlefield, the ant soldiers fought back and forth, their battle cries deafening. Although the allied army resisted valiantly, the black ant tribe, with its familiarity with the terrain and its meticulously laid traps, inflicted considerable casualties on the allied army.
Just as the battle reached a stalemate, the termite king Li Ming suddenly noticed unusual activity behind the black ant tribe. He shouted, "Oh no! They seem to be activating those war machines, preparing for a full-scale attack!"
The ant kings were terrified. Red Ant King Zhang Ying hurriedly ordered, "Everyone retreat! Avoid their war machine attack!"
The allied army began an orderly retreat, but the black ant tribe was not about to let them go easily; they pursued them relentlessly from behind.
During the retreat, a green ant general named Xinpei was tragically struck by an arrow from the black ant tribe while covering his companions. The green ant king, Wang Zhao, was filled with grief: "General Xinpei!"
Seeing that the allied army was about to be trapped, Red Ant King Zhang Ying suddenly came up with a plan. He ordered some of his ant soldiers to feign injury to attract the attention of the black ant tribe, while he led his elite troops to quietly circle around to the rear of the black ant tribe, preparing to launch a surprise attack on their war machine manufacturing site.
As they approached the manufacturing site, they found it heavily guarded. But Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, did not back down. He whispered to Ji La, the Red Ant General beside him, "Ji La, you lead a small team to flank from the left and draw their fire. I will break in from the right and destroy those war machines."
Ji La nodded firmly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely complete the mission!"
So Ji La led a small squad of red ants to the left, and the black ant tribe indeed diverted most of their attention to them. Taking advantage of this, the red ant king Zhang Ying led his elite troops in a rapid advance from the right, quickly breaking through the defenses and arriving at the war machine manufacturing site.
Red Ant King Zhang Ying stared at the war machines before him, his eyes burning with rage: "These things almost wiped out our entire army!" He commanded his ant soldiers to begin destroying the war machines.
Just then, Black Ant King Wang Jun discovered Red Ant King Zhang Ying's actions and hurriedly led a portion of his forces to provide support.
The two sides engaged in fierce fighting again, with Red Ant King Zhang Ying taking the lead and fighting to the death against Black Ant King Wang Jun.
"Wang Jun, today is your end!" Zhang Ying, the red ant king, roared, brandishing his antennae as he fought fiercely with Wang Jun, the black ant king.
Black Ant King Wang Jun retorted, not to be outdone: "Zhang Ying, don't get too cocky!"
In the fierce battle, Red Ant King Zhang Ying gradually gained the upper hand. He seized the opportunity and struck hard, knocking back Black Ant King Wang Jun.
Black Ant King Wang Jun fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of ant blood: "Damn it..."
At this moment, other ant tribes also rushed to support Zhang Ying, the red ant king, and the black ant tribe gradually could not resist.
Ultimately, through everyone's efforts, the Black Ant Clan's war machine manufacturing site was successfully destroyed, and those terrifying war machines were reduced to fragments.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, King Jun of the Black Ants had no choice but to lead his remaining troops in a hasty and desperate escape.
The united army had won, and the ant tribes cheered with joy. Looking at the exhausted but excited ant soldiers, the Red Ant King Zhang Ying said with emotion, "Today's victory over the Black Ant tribe is all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts. From now on, we must unite even more to protect our ant nest."
The other ant queens nodded in agreement. This thrilling battle of the little bird's nest war machines made all the ant tribes understand the power of unity and also temporarily restored peace to this ant world.
After the battle, the ant colonies began repairing their damaged territories and nests, with the queens leading the worker ants in a busy rebuilding of their homes. Red Ant King Zhang Ying often thought back to this battle, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that in this perilous ant world, only through constant unity and cooperation could they resist external enemies and survive.
