Traveler Ant World

Chapter 426 The Mutation in the Cave 14

Looking down at his territory, a surge of pride welled up within him. Today, he received news that a battle between rabbits and giant insects was about to take place in a nearby cave—a rare spectacle, and perhaps he could even gain some benefits from it.

"Pass down the order: all generals, assemble!" Zhang Ying shouted.

Soon, the Red Ant generals arrived one after another. Red Ant Li asked, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of summoning us?"

Zhang Ying said with a determined look in her eyes, "I heard today that there is a battle between rabbits and giant insects at the cave. Let's go and see, maybe we can get some benefits."

Upon hearing this, the generals were extremely excited and eager to get started.

At the same time, King Jun of the Black Ants also learned of this news. He sneered, "Hmph, the war between rabbits and giant insects is quite interesting; we Black Ants cannot miss it."

Black Ant Zhang Yuan chimed in, "Your Majesty is wise; perhaps we can take this opportunity to expand our territory."

Wang Jun nodded and led the army of black ants toward the cave.

Termite King Li Ming also received the message. He squinted and thought, "We termites should also participate in this war and see if we can find new nest-building materials."

The termite king said from the side, "Your Majesty, we will surely return with a full load."

Yellow Ant King Li Hua, Brown Ant King Wang Kai, Blue Ant King Lin Fei, and Green Ant King Wang Zhao each led their own teams toward the cave, and a chaotic battle in the ant world was about to begin.

When the ant tribes arrived at the cave, the war between the rabbits and the giant insects had reached its climax. The rabbits nimbly dodged the giant insects' attacks, while the giant insects brandished their enormous claws, trying to grab the rabbits.

Looking at the battlefield, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, shouted, "Red Ants, listen to my command! Look for an opportunity to attack the giant insect's leg joints!"

Red Ant Ji La and Ji Kai responded in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!" After saying that, they led the red ants to charge at the giant insect.

Seeing this, King Jun of the Black Ants shouted, "Black Ants, attack the rabbits' tails and make it difficult for them to move!"

Zhang Guang and An Yuan, the black ants, obeyed the order and charged toward the rabbit.

Termite King Li Ming commanded, "Termites are responsible for gnawing at the giant insect's weak points and finding gaps to attack!"

Termites scramble for their nests, and the wealthy flock to join in.

Yellow Ant King Li Hua shouted, "Yellow Ants, snatch the food the rabbit dropped!"

King Kai, the brown ant king, said, "Brown ants, follow me! Attack the giant insect's eyes and disrupt its vision!"

Blue Ant King Lin Fei ordered: "Blue Ants are responsible for collecting all kinds of information on the battlefield and reporting it to me in a timely manner!"

The green ant king, Wang Zhao, was not to be outdone: "Green ants, find an opportunity to help the injured ants!"

In an instant, shouts of battle erupted from the cave, as various ant tribes clashed together.

Red Ant Li was accidentally swept by the giant insect's claws during a battle and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, was extremely anxious and shouted, "Ji La, hurry and save Li!"

Ji La quickly turned around and rescued Li Yi.

While attacking a rabbit, Zhang Yuan, the black ant, was kicked by one of the rabbits, making him wince in pain.

Black Ant King Wang Jun shouted, "Zhang Yuan, hang in there!"

When the termite tycoon was biting the giant insect, it was splashed with the insect's secretions, which stung its eyes and temporarily rendered it unable to fight.

Termite King quickly came to help and pulled the rich man to safety.

Li Danni, an ant, got into a fight with a yellow ant while fighting for food.

The Yellow Ant King Li Hua shouted, "Stop fighting! Let's grab the food first!"

When the brown ant king attacked the giant insect's eyes, he was swept by the giant insect's antennae and fell to the ground.

Brown Ant Christmas hurriedly ran over to help Wang Tong up.

While gathering information, the Blue Ants discovered a weakness in a rabbit and immediately reported it to King Lin Fei.

Upon hearing this, Wang Linfei's eyes lit up: "All blue ants, follow me and attack that location!"

While helping injured ants, Green Ant New Wine was nearly injured when it was bumped into by a fleeing rabbit.

Green Ant King Wine shouted, "Newly brewed wine, be careful!"

As the battle continued, the situation became increasingly chaotic. Suddenly, the rabbits seemed to sense the threat posed by the ants and began to launch an organized counterattack.

A large rabbit leaped high into the air and pounced on Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King. Zhang Ying was terrified and quickly dodged.

Seeing this, Ji La, the red ant, stepped forward and used his body to block the rabbit's attack. The rabbit's claws scratched Ji La, but Ji La still clung tightly to the rabbit's leg.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Red Ant King Zhang Ying retaliated by spraying the rabbit with formic acid. The rabbit, in pain, broke free from Ji La and fled in a sorry state.

Just then, the giant insect seemed to realize the threat posed by the ants and began to concentrate its power to attack the ant colony. It swung its huge claws, sweeping across the ant swarm, sending many ants flying.

Upon seeing this, the ant queens each ordered their respective ant tribes to retreat.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying shouted, "Red Ants, retreat!"

Black Ant King Wang Jun also shouted, "Black Ant, come with me!"

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 each led their ant tribes to retreat to a safe place.

After the ants retreated to safety, they took stock of their casualties. Many red ants were injured, and black ants, termites, yellow ants, brown ants, blue ants, and green ants also suffered losses to varying degrees.

Looking at the injured Ji La, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, felt heartbroken: "Ji La, we owe you a lot this time. Your injuries are serious, so please take good care of yourself first."

Ji La said weakly, "Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

Looking at the injured Zhang Yuan, Black Ant King Wang Jun said, "Zhang Yuan, you should rest well too. Although we suffered losses in this battle, we also gained some experience."

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Looking at the injured tycoon, Termite King Li Ming said helplessly, "This battle wasn't easy for us termites either."

The rich man said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I'm fine, it's just that my eyes hurt terribly."

Looking at Li Dani, who was injured in the fight over food, the yellow ant king Li Hua admonished her, "From now on, when fighting for food, you must unite and not fight amongst yourselves!"

Li Dani lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

King Tong of the brown ants rubbed the spot where the giant insect's antennae had brushed against him and said, "Although our attack on the giant insect's eyes failed, it has given us a new idea."

Brown Ant Christmas chimed in from the side.

Blue Ant King Lin Fei said to the person in charge of finding the rabbit's weak point, "Arrangements. This time, we are very grateful to you for finding the key location. Continue to pay attention to information on the battlefield in the future."

The attendant excitedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Looking at the injured Xinpei, Wang Zhao, the Green Ant King, said, "Xinpei, you've worked hard too. Take good care of yourself and recover from your injury."

Xinpei said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Each ant queen observed the situation of her clan, contemplating the future. This giant rabbit war in the cave, though fraught with danger and uncertainty, had also revealed the strength and strategies of other ant clans. Perhaps, in this competitive ant world, only through continuous learning and improvement could their clans thrive.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying was leading his ant colony in the ant nest when suddenly, a sharp alarm broke the peace.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ying asked loudly.

The ant in charge of reconnaissance rushed over: "Wang, we've discovered something unusual over at the cave. It seems like something huge is approaching."

Zhang Ying immediately ordered, "Notify the other ant queens, let's go and take a look together."

Before long, the black ant king Wang Jun, the white ant 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 arrived with their respective elite troops.

"Zhang Ying, what's wrong?" Wang Jun asked.

Zhang Ying pointed ahead: "The scout ants said there's a huge commotion over there in the cave, like a giant creature is approaching."

The group proceeded cautiously towards the cave. When they approached it, they were all stunned by the sight before them.

A giant rabbit appeared above the cave, dozens of times larger than an ordinary rabbit, its eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

"What kind of monster is this?" Li Ming asked in surprise.

"I've never seen such a big rabbit before," Li Hua exclaimed in astonishment.

Just then, the giant rabbit suddenly moved and pounced towards the ant colony.

"Prepare for battle!" Zhang Ying shouted.

The red ants quickly formed an attack formation, while the black ants, white ants, yellow ants, brown ants, blue ants, and green ants also got into position.

The giant rabbit swung its paw down, creating a gust of wind that swept away several ants.

"Everyone be careful!" Zhang Ying shouted, directing the red ants to use their sharp mandibles to attack the giant rabbit's legs.

Wang Jun led the black ants to attack from the side, attempting to bite off the giant rabbit's tail.

Li Ming directed the termites to find the giant rabbit's weaknesses, preparing to use their expertise in burrowing to disrupt the giant rabbit.

Li Hua led the yellow ants to climb onto the giant rabbit's body, attempting to bite its ears.

Wang Kai's brown ant army nimbly moved around the giant rabbit, looking for an opportunity to attack its abdomen.

Lin Fei's blue ants used their agility to harass the giant rabbit's eyes from the air.

Wang Zhao's green ants were ready to support the injured ants from the rear.

The battle was extremely fierce. Every attack from the giant rabbit caused considerable losses to the ant colony, but the ants did not back down.

"Don't let it get near the ant nest!" Zhang Ying shouted, rushing towards the giant rabbit and biting its paw hard.

The giant rabbit was in pain and shook its body frantically, sending many ants flying far away, but the ant colony still held on tightly to it.

After a fierce battle, the giant rabbit gradually became exhausted, and its movements became sluggish.

"Keep pushing, everyone!" Zhang Ying encouraged the ant colony.

In the end, the ants successfully drove away the giant rabbit, which fled in disarray.

The ant colony cheered, but many ants were also injured in the battle.

"Immediately treat the wounded," Zhang Ying ordered.

Each ant king also arranged for his queen and medical ants to take care of the wounded soldiers.

"This time, it's all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts," Zhang Ying said, looking at the other ant queens.

“Yes, this mutated rabbit is terrifying.” Wang Jun nodded in agreement.

"I don't know if it will come back," Li Ming said worriedly.

"We must strengthen our vigilance and be ready to deal with the next crisis at any time," Zhang Ying said firmly.

The ant colony began clearing the battlefield, treating the wounded, and preparing for potential future dangers. The appearance of the mutated rabbit, however, brought even more unknowns and challenges to this ant world.

As time passed, the ant colony gradually calmed down, but they never forgot the fierce battle with the mutated giant rabbit. Red Ant King Zhang Ying frequently convened meetings with the other ant kings to discuss countermeasures, in order to prevent a similar crisis from recurring.

One day, Zhang Ying summoned all the ant kings to the council hall of the ant nest.

"Everyone, we can't let our guard down. That mutated rabbit might come back," Zhang Ying said seriously.

“That’s right, we need to come up with a foolproof plan,” Wang Jun agreed.

“I think we can set more traps around the ant nest,” Li Ming suggested.

“Great idea, we termites can take care of digging and setting the traps.”

“Then our other ant colonies can also cooperate, for example, by setting up some guard units around the trap,” Li Hua said.

"We also need to strengthen patrols and expand the scope of reconnaissance," Wang Kai added.

“Yes, we can’t let that rabbit get close to the ant nest again.” Lin Fei nodded.

"Everyone, let's have a clear division of labor and get moving as soon as possible," Zhang Ying ordered.

So the ant colony began to get busy. The termites dug many hidden traps around the nest, some filled with sharp stones, others deep pits covered with a thin layer of soil. Red ants, black ants, yellow ants, brown ants, blue ants, and green ants divided into different groups to patrol and guard the area.

After some time, everything was ready. The ant colony seemed to have returned to its usual calm, but every ant knew that danger could return at any moment.

On what seemed like an ordinary afternoon, the ant in charge of reconnaissance sent another urgent message.

"Wang, that mutated rabbit has reappeared! It's heading towards the anthill!"

Zhang Ying immediately summoned all the ant queens and ant colonies again.

"Everyone, proceed according to plan!" Zhang Ying shouted.

The ant colony quickly went into battle mode, with the ants lying in ambush around the trap waiting nervously.

When the mutated rabbit approached, it seemed to sense something was amiss, but it was too late to escape.

"Trigger the trap!" Zhang Ying commanded.

Instantly, the surrounding traps activated, sharp stones pierced the rabbit's paws, and it fell into a deep pit.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the ants swarmed forward and engaged in another fierce battle with the giant rabbit.

This time, the ants were more skilled and organized. The red ants still focused on the legs, the black ants nibbled at the rabbit's fur to try to slow it down, the white ants looked for opportunities to attack its abdomen, the yellow ants climbed onto its body, the brown ants harassed it from the side, the blue ants attacked its eyes, and the green ants were responsible for supporting and carrying away the injured ants.

Although the giant rabbit was trapped in the trap, it struggled fiercely, and many ants were flung away or bitten.

"Hold on! We will definitely defeat it!" Zhang Ying shouted, encouraging the ant colony.

Under the relentless attack of the ant colony, the giant rabbit gradually lost its ability to resist, and its movements became increasingly sluggish.

In the end, the ants successfully repelled the giant rabbit once again, and it fled the area covered in wounds.

The ant colony cheered their victory once again, proud of their unity and wisdom.

After this battle, the ant colony became more aware of the power of unity. The queen and king ants paid more attention to cooperation and communication among the colony members, and the ants themselves became more actively involved in defending the nest.

In the days that followed, although the mutated rabbit never reappeared, the ant colony remained highly vigilant. They knew that in this ant world full of unknowns, new challenges might await them at any time. And they would bravely face everything with their united spirit.
