The marching ants had loosened the walls around them. With a little effort, link knocked down the debris and went straight in.

"Help me pry open the case of the recorder."

Link put the recorder on the ground, and then a group of silver workers swarmed up and surrounded the recorder.

Linke squatted beside and watched, for fear that these workers might accidentally damage the things hidden in the recorder.

"Hey, be careful, little ones."

Link held his head and stared.

The workers did not come up to gnaw. Instead, they surrounded the tape recorders. It was like the construction foreman on the construction site. After several rounds, the construction direction was determined.

The worker ants stick out their jaws like pincers, and then rub them against the tape recorder to snap down the metal bits bit by bit.

The first team finished the demolition, formed a neat line, carrying metal fragments to the nest.

Then the second team in the back immediately made up

Link's eyes watched a white mark appear from light to deep around the recorder.

The command is moderate and the order is forbidden.

Although link has long known the idea and firm will of marching ants, he watched hundreds of workers complete their tasks in an orderly manner, with the same frequency and speed, as if they were carved in a mold.

The shock is much stronger than seeing some kind of prehistoric giant.

Soon the metal around the recording pen was bitten off by the workers, and the workers returned to the nest neatly.

Link opened the recorder easily and found another one under the circuit board

Why do you say again?

As the circuit board was opened, a black metal rod lay quietly in the semicircular case of the recorder.

"What is this?"

Link held the black metal rod in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The metal rod is about ten centimeters long and black.

Soon link found the first distinctive point. This metal rod has a very deep blackness, which is very low reflectivity in professional terms.

Secondly, the outline of the black metal bar is regular hexagon, the line is strong, slightly thinner than the pencil.

If there's a curved handle at the head, it's a hexagonal screwdriver.

Link held the black metal bar subconsciously, then pushed it outward with his thumb to test its hardness.

In the end, the thumb was held red, the metal bar was still, and there was no curve at all.

Link is also an old player who has played for six years. Looking at this metal rod again from the perspective of the past, it seems that it is not something that can be made by the nuclear level development of more than 40 years of technology, such as waste Saturn.

As for the description of the system.

[black metal bar: Well It's mysterious]

it's quite perfunctory.

Me? I don't know. It's mysterious?

Linck was speechless, so he had to install the black metal bar first.

"You take the body outside and bury it!"

Link took the task of hiding the main line from the prince and inherited the name of Mandala. It was hard for him to keep his body lying in the secret passage.

This nest is the nest where Prince Xinshan stayed. After more than 40 years, these marching ants will be buried in person to repay their "nurturing kindness".

After receiving the order, the industrious workers lined up without saying a word, and slipped out of the cave with uniform steps. They walked all the way to the bones, and even carried their clothes back from the outside.

Ah Fu was a little sober after a while. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a skeleton "drifting" on the ground in gorgeous clothes. His eyes turned white and he fainted again.

The workers moved the bones to the designated location, and then began to scratch the walls and the ground.

The visible part of the prince's skeleton and flesh is covered by soil, and finally forms a small tamped soil bag.

Link looks at the nest, then at the Royal ring on his ring finger.

If no ant nest has been found before, and no A-level entrustment has been received, Wuthering castle is the transfer station for Linke to rest before entering Sandu.

But now he has to think about it

Now that he has taken on the A-level mission, some big forces in Sandu have naturally become the enemy of link.

Sandu has many forces, complex situation and turbulent undercurrent.

At that time, link's hand will move the whole body, and the sand will be in chaos.

This requires him to have a base that can be attacked and defended.

Although Wuthering castle is dilapidated, it has three secret roads. Link is also very familiar with the environment here. The most important thing is that there are secret roads to travel to Sandu without being aware of it.

Weeping Valley, sandwiched between the mechanical deity and Sandu, is an independent territory.

It's half a year before the players officially enter the game. The main task of [Revenge of Datura] is to fight against the major forces. Link is bound to pull up one of his own forces. After players enter the game, they can use their NPC identity to contact some players and issue tasks to guide them to do things for themselves."OK, then set the base at Wuthering castle!"

He was famous here in his previous life, and now he has got the main task here, which can be regarded as a treasure land for link.

As link ponders, Ah Fu staggers in from the outside.

"Boss, I saw a moving skeleton just now!"

Link looked up at Ah Fu and said, "I don't see any skeletons? Is it because you have been stuck for too long and haven't been fully awake and hallucinated? "

Ah Fu glanced at the secret room and saw no skeleton.

Can't help scratching his head: "is it really my eyes?"

"Well, I've been busy all night. Now have a good rest."

They fled all the way from the gale desert and the desolate Gobi, only huddled under the huge rocks of the Gobi for a night.

In Wuthering castle, link solved five mechanical cult fanatics, and then discovered so many secrets one after another, his spirit has been in a state of high excitement. Ah Fu took a look at the tree ant nest and the dense silver marching ants. He had goose bumps all over. Finally, he ran to the secret road outside the wall and lay down. After a while, there was a rhythmic snoring.

"All marching ants listen to the order, now explore Wuthering Castle immediately, spread out the team and dig out all the secrets!"

After link's order, workers, soldiers and flying ants all set out to disperse around the castle.

Since we are going to take Wuthering castle as a base, link should have a clearer understanding of Wuthering castle.

A few hours ago, link dared to clap his arm and say that he knew Wuthering castle like the back of his hand, but now he had to send out the army ant corps to explore Wuthering Castle completely and make sure that he didn't miss anything.

The only ones that can do this are the "omnipresent" marching ants.

Marching ants spread everywhere, and link saw the silver queen in the center of the nest.

Before the March ants bite metal, silver queen to transport back some metal debris.

At this moment, the silver queen's forelimb grabs the metal debris and puts it into her mouth to chew. Her huge abdomen begins to vibrate. Then she extrudes a metal egg the size of a silver grain of rice and falls into the nest.

The silver queen picked up a piece of metal debris as fine as dust and continued to eat.

Even ate several, abdomen extrudes a metal egg again.

Lin Ke stepped forward and carefully observed that the surface of the metal egg, the size of a rice grain, was as smooth as a water drop.

Then the pattern appeared on the metal egg, which was like the water droplets gradually sublimed, revealing the rudiments of more marching ants.

The antennae, front and rear limbs were stripped from the "water drop", and the appearance of the silver marching ant became more and more complete.

In the last few minutes of link's observation, the silver queen has laid three or four metal eggs.

Marching ants are scattered all over the castle. Through special blood contact, link can clearly detect the position of each marching ant.

These marching ants form a line at the midpoint of link's mind, and the line forms a surface, which outlines the secret passage and layout of the castle.

The perception of marching ants is much better than that of treasure rats and humans. Even if there is a thick wall, they can dig a road.

Later, the shape of the castle became clearer and clearer, but link fell asleep because of fatigue

In a dream.

Link had a dream that it was raining cats and dogs, and the rain was splashing on his face.

Rain is like a thin needle, stick in the face still have some pain, to the end simply storm suffocating.

"Hoo

Link suddenly opened his eyes and found the treasure rat licking his face and hair. His whole body was just in front of his nose, which made him unable to breathe.

Link takes a look at the system. It's 10:30 in the morning.

Six hours of peace of mind, do not worry about the enemy sneak attack, do not worry about tomorrow.

Link rubbed his face to force himself to wake up, and then looked at the stump nest. All the marching ants had returned.

Link communicates with the marching ants, and the little ones chatter and compete.

In the communication with the marching ants, link learned that there was something he didn't find in Wuthering castle.

Get up crisp, let fly ant take him past.

Flying ants fly in front, and a group of them gather together to form an arrow to guide link.

After the fusion, because of the connection with link's blood, these flying ants can also understand link's thinking.

Soon, link found a new hole in the tunnel.

Last night, when the marching ants found this place, they dug the hole directly, and made the extra soil into a ladder to go down the hole. The architectural format was neat and in place.

Then the fly ant took link to another place.

There are two secret rooms, one is the dungeon, the other is the wine cellar.

The contents have been emptied and the entrance sealed by craftsmen. If there were not marching ants, they would not have found these two places.Link returns to the tunnel and walks to the snoring Ah Fu.

"Ah Fu, get up!"

Link called out. Ah Fu didn't respond.

The treasure rat jumped off his shoulder and onto Ah Fu. He patted himself on the chest and said, "it's my little treasure who's going to wake up." then there was a random greeting.

(~ ε)

Ah Fu opened his eyes vaguely and rubbed his red face: "boss, you're up, too!"

"Today I'm going to Sandu, but this trip is full of difficulties. I may encounter many enemies, and my life may be in danger. What's your plan? Do you want to stay in the castle and help me watch the base, or do you want to go to Sandu with me? "

Ah Fu woke up when he heard that his life was in danger.

"The boss, if I stay in the castle, am I going to keep it alone?"

Link shook his head: "no, you stay with the marching ants, rebuild the castle, and wait for me to come back."

"Boss, sand is so dangerous. How can I be without my help! What's more, I can also take care of your daily life. As the most reliable right arm of the boss, how can I lose my position in the sand
