Chapter 397 Three Ants
"Do you know about emerald ants?"

Prince Gao said suddenly.

Han Dongwen and Tilda shook their heads, Prince Gao smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, turned his wrist and opened his hand, there were already three black ants lying on the palm.

"This is the emerald ant."

His tone was like a child playing with ants under a big tree.

"Emerald ants, why are they black?"

Tilda asked from the side.

Prince Gao shrugged his shoulders as if laughing, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the first ant lying on his palm floated up out of thin air, with several legs crawling helplessly in the air, struggling as if calling for help.

The remaining two ants seemed to want to look at their own kind, so Wei Wei made a probe movement with all her strength.

"People are like these ants," said Prince Gao.

He put his hand down again and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, above the tiny ant in mid-air, there was a grey-black mud ball, about the size of a fist, which was slowly rotating.

"This is the food of the emerald ants. Tell me, how do you feed this food to this ant?"

Han Dongwen and Tilda didn't make a sound, and the ants hanging in the air struggled harder in the silence.

How to feed?
That mass of gray mud was hundreds of times bigger than this ant, how could it be fed in?

"Can't you feed it in? That's why you need this thing."

There was a burst of white light in Gao's hand, and then an extremely strange thing appeared - it looked like a flower made of glass, with a blooming opening on the top, and a thin, thin flower at the bottom. Needle-like tip.

"funnel."

Thinking of what Prince Gao said earlier, Han Dongwen understood what it was.

This is a funnel with a very thin lower end, so thin that it can penetrate the mouthparts of an ant.

Huang Zigao nodded, and then, the mass of gray-white mud poured into the funnel from the upper opening in mid-air.

With such a special funnel, the flow rate should have been extremely slow, but Huang Zigao just snapped his fingers lightly, and the thick mud flowed rapidly.

The ant under the funnel began to swell up visibly to the naked eye, until it was more than twice its original size, and then——

The ant exploded from the inside out, and the carapace turned into fragmented light spots before landing on the ground.

Prince Gao shook his head and said flatly:

"Hey, this is an ordinary person."

Han Dongwen and Tilda looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Isn't it natural that such a big lump of mud and such a small ant will be blown up?

Gao flipped his wrist again, and the second ant was suspended in the air.

The needle-like funnel pierced the ant's mouthparts again, and the mud began to flow.

But this time something strange happened.

The body of the second ant also began to swell, but this time, it didn't explode after it swelled.

Its body is getting bigger and bigger and more and more swollen.

The originally black carapace swelled up like a balloon, from black, stretched and thinned.

Until the mud in the funnel was poured into the ant's stomach like magic, the ant's whole body became as big as a fist, and it filled the mud into its belly like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Its black carapace was stretched extremely thin at the moment, showing a bright green hue, and its whole body was like an emerald, slowly spinning in the air.

"What is this?" Prince Gao slightly turned his head and asked.

Han Dongwen swallowed, and replied in a heavy voice:
"This is the carrier?"

His answer is obviously right.

Prince Gao's tone was still extremely relaxed, pointing to the "Jadeite" and said:
"How many ants are there? How many ants can do this?"

Carriers are rare.

Tilda took a deep breath, hugged her body with her arms carved out of ice crystals, hesitated for a moment and asked:

"So, this ant that can eat so many things can become a god?"

Prince Gao immediately stretched out a finger and shook it.

"No no no, it's not it."

His other palm was opened, and the third ant was hovering peacefully in his palm.

"The smartest one is this ant. It knew that it would be risky to eat so much food, so it thought of a way to eat those same species that can eat a big meal."

Huang Zigao raised his wrist slightly, and the third ant floated up gently, and landed on the "Jade" whose body had grown dozens of times.

The body swelled like this, and under the body of the second ant, the several ant legs that had maintained their original size could hardly be seen.

It floated helplessly in mid-air, as if waiting to die, allowing the third ant to crawl back and forth on its body.

"I'll zoom in for you to see." Prince Gao said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of the two ants suddenly became huge and frightening, and the third ant was as tall as a person, looking real and disgusting.

And the emerald ant under it became as huge as a house, just standing in front of Han Dongwen and Tilda.

The movement of the ants is still going on.

On the way of crawling, the mouthparts of the third ant kept secreting crystal light green liquid, and the carapace of the second ant that had turned emerald color was rapidly corroded and melted by this saliva, turning into a puddle of bubbles. The pus was quickly licked clean by the third ant.

"After eating the second ant, it can become the god of ants."

Although it was an interrogative sentence, Tilda's tone could almost explain what was happening before her eyes.

Han Dongwen resisted the nausea in his heart and asked, "But if the third ant can't eat the mud ball, how can it eat the second ant?"

Prince Gao laughed: "The second ant's eating is to extract the essence of the material, compressing those helpful parts again and again, and the third ant——"

He raised his finger and pointed to the third ant that was feasting. Its body was also expanding under the tireless eating, but its expansion was more uniform and not so exaggerated. Its legs and body were equally enlarged. Does not affect its movement and eating.

Putting such a body among ants, it is almost indeed the god of ants.

Han Dongwen understood what Prince Gao meant.

The prerequisite for being the third ant is to be able to eat as much food as the second ant. If not, even the digested essence is enough to kill it.

"I'll think about it."

Han Dongwen pondered for a moment, stroking his thoughts in his mind, and Huang Zigao looked at him patiently, as if looking forward to his thoughts.

"What you mean is."

After a while, Han Dongwen finally spoke cautiously:
"You mean that a special person can become a carrier, and the drop can be used as a funnel to deliver the needed food to the special person who becomes the carrier."

"And whoever devours this exhausted carrier, another person who can act as a carrier will be able to become a god."

Prince Gao did not speak, acquiescing to Han Dongwen's guess.

"So, what is this food? Is it really just about eating?"

Han Dongwen's tone was a bit hesitant, as if he didn't know whether he should ask such a question.

"Snapped."

Prince Gao snapped his fingers, and a huge mud ball the size of a palace appeared above the heads of the three of them.

Han Dongwen and Tilda looked up together, but they didn't lower their heads for a long time.

That's not a mud blob.

It was a group of ant corpses, the broken carapace was mixed with the meat juice, and the tentacles and feet of the ants were mixed, slowly and indifferently rotating in the realm of the king of seven senses.
