Chapter 54: The golden shadow on the other side, I can't see it clearly
This is a golden ant, which forms a very sharp contrast with the black ants around it. Moreover, it is much larger than the surrounding ants, perhaps ten times larger, making it stand out from the crowd.
So Su Mu spotted the golden ant at a glance.
He walked onto the stone bridge, stretched out his right hand, picked up the huge golden ant with two fingers, placed it in his palm, and observed it carefully.
Found this golden ant, it's perfect.
Ants belong to the subphylum Hexapoda, and most ants have only six legs, but this ant has ten.
Of course, this is not something worth being surprised about. What makes Su Mu feel strange is that if you look closely, you will find that there are strings of tiny words on these ten legs, which look like some kind of runes.
He turned the ant over and found that there was a special texture on its abdomen. It looked like a pattern, like a moon.
Moreover, Su Mu could not smell any trace of rotten smell from the ant.
Because when you catch other black ants, you won't even need to bring them close to your nose to sense the nauseating, rancid smell that your body will instinctively resist.
But this golden ant is different. It can't smell any rotten smell, but can smell a floral fragrance. This floral fragrance is very familiar, the same scent as Lycoris radiata!
From the smell, we can initially judge that this is definitely a treasure ant!
This is Su Mu's special way of identifying treasures, smelling the scent to identify treasures!
However, Su Mu did not intend to eat this precious ant directly, but to take it back for research first.
Not all treasures can be eaten. If you eat something poisonous, it will be troublesome.
The ant fell into Su Mu's palm, not daring to move, and trembling slightly, looking very scared.
In this way, Su Mu carried a basket filled with Lycoris flowers on his back, held a sickle in his left hand, and held the precious ant in his right hand, and walked towards his stone house.
After returning to the stone house, Su Mu first picked all the Lycoris radiata petals, pressed them into a small round cake, and put them in a small wooden box.
Yes, Bi'an Small Can Tea Cake, you deserve it!
After doing all this, Su Mu placed the ant on the stone table and began to observe it.
First, let's test whether it is toxic.
Su Mu came to a small fish tank under a willow tree, where several colorful little fish were swimming.
This was caught by Su Mu some time ago. Seeing how beautiful it was, he did not choose to release it but kept it instead.
For this purpose, Su Mu specially made a transparent small fish tank, filled it with water, and raised these colorful little fish. When he was bored, he would feed them some snacks and watch them.
After all, it was too boring to be here alone, so Su Mu had to find something to do.
He caught a small blue fish and placed it in front of the golden ant.
However, the golden ant seemed to be frightened by itself and stayed where it was, not daring to move. Su Mu even brought the small fish close to its mouth, but it did not dare to take a bite.
After teasing several times without any results.
Su Mu prepared to use the "True Deterrence Era" technique.
He picked up the silver dagger beside him, pointed it at the golden ant's head, and said viciously, "Do you want to bite me or not?"
"Don't let me drop the knife!"
As soon as he said this, the golden ant seemed to understand what he said. It opened its mouth, revealing two somewhat exaggerated ant teeth, and took a bite at the blue fish.
The little fish, which was originally still jumping, froze instantly after the bite.
Almost in an instant, the originally beautiful and bright blue had turned black, exuding the breath of death and even a smell of decay.
It seems that this golden ant is not only poisonous, but also quite toxic.
Fortunately, I learned my lesson and did not eat it directly, otherwise I would have been in trouble. After all, this was not an ordinary ant, and I was alone now. If I was really poisoned, no one could save me.
After testing the toxicity, Su Mu planned to test its combat effectiveness again.
He took the golden ant to a small puddle, where a palm-sized green crab was quietly lying in the water. This was the Stone Axe Beast that Su Mu had contracted.
He squatted down and threw the golden ant into the puddle.
And using a mental contract, he said to the young crab: "Xiao Yueyue, pick it up for me!"
After he finished speaking, the Stone Axe Beast opened its eyes. After receiving the order from its master, it waved its two large pincers and clamped towards the golden ant.
However, when it approached the golden ant, it suddenly froze. It was not known whether it was out of fear or something else, but its two pincers suddenly froze.
As its owner, Su Mu can sense its emotional changes.
The Stone Axe Beast was very scared at this moment, obviously frightened, and even its body was trembling. If it weren't for its master's order, it would probably have retreated and run away.
Faced with golden ants that were many times smaller than itself, the little Stone Axe Beast didn't even have the courage to fight.
This is somewhat out of character!
Either that, or the deterrent effect posed by the golden ant was simply too strong. Otherwise, given Xiao Yueyue's character of fighting back when he was not convinced, he would definitely not back down.
After a stalemate of several seconds, the Stone Axe Beast made up its mind to die and clamped down on the golden ant!
However, when its pincers clamped the golden ant and were about to close tightly, the next second, its pincers instantly broke into two pieces!
Seeing this, Su Mu also widened his eyes.
The Stone Axe Beast felt pain and was afraid, but this time, it did not intend to retreat. It waved its other pincer and continued to pinch the golden ant.
It’s still the same. With just a little force, the Stone Axe Beast’s pincers will shatter instantly!
During the whole process, the golden ant did not resist, but allowed the stone axe beast to attack. Unfortunately, the difference in combat power was too big. After two fights, the golden ant was unharmed, while the little stone axe beast was seriously injured and its life force was almost weak.
However, for some reason, although the golden ant successfully defeated the stone axe beast, it was still very scared.
Su Mu knew that it was afraid of him. If he hadn't been watching the fight nearby, this powerful golden ant would have been able to kill the little stone axe beast in an instant if it launched an attack.
The two are totally not on the same level.
You know, the little stone axe beast is also a treasure crab!
Otherwise, Su Mu would not have chosen to contract it.
Seeing the vitality of the little stone axe beast declining, Su Mu quickly used the favor points to heal it.
[Do you want to spend 600 favor points to heal the seriously injured "Stone Axe Beast"? ]
After seeing that it needed 600 points, Su Mu realized how badly it was injured.
Six hundred points, Su Mu did not hesitate at all.
After successful treatment, the little Stone Axe beast recovered as before, and after recovering, it was ready to attack again.
Even though it knows it can't win, it cannot let its master down.
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly separated the two and prevented them from contacting each other.
"Okay, no need to fight anymore."
After these words were spoken, the little stone axe beast stopped attacking.
When the golden ant saw Su Mu heal the little stone axe beast instantly, it became even more frightened.
The next second, a very faint voice sounded in Su Mu's mind.
