Chapter 179: Five Red Ants
Ch. 179 Five Red Ants
I scout around the perimeter of the red ants’ nest to look for any ants. As usual, I’m having Adofu and the ball rabbit wait on standby in the distance.
The plan won’t start until we grab the centipede dumplings and bring them towards the nest.
The problem is that simply carrying the dumplings to the nest by hand is impossible. It’s just too much to carry, but taking them near the nest would be too suspicious.
I could try catching a red ant and forcing it to take a dumpling back to the nest. I can only pray that I can get my hands on a red ant like that though, so that plan won’t really work.
Honestly, there’s a high chance that they’ll just spit out the centipede dumplings like the Ianians did and just leave them alone. Rather, since they’re poisoned, the possibility of that happening is much higher. If I were a red ant, I definitely would not carry something as disgusting as this back to the queen. It would be considered as lèse-majesté and I’d be beheaded on the spot. The nest would be filled with the stench of the centipede.
Back in my original world though, I have seen ants carrying even grasshoppers back into their nest quite a few times. I can eat dark worms, but I still can’t stomach grasshoppers. I think that even one ant carrying back a single dumpling might inflict some damage upon the colony. So long as it actually takes it to the colony. At this point in time, I can’t just dispose of this pile of centipede dumplings. It’s too late to turn back now.
That centipede was truly strong. Even in death it still manages to inflict damage upon my very soul. It seems that I’ll be tasting centipede no matter what I eat for a while. No, it’s my fault for eating after all. I know that.
While I was scouting around, I saw a scorpion that is about three meters long being surrounded by some red ants. I quickly duck behind some rocks and observe.
