Chapter 512 Trophy
Obviously, the situation that Ning Ze was worried about did not happen. The ancient ant scorpion took him slowly into the cave, and there was no problem on the way.
The faint light of the torch made Ning Ze barely see the structure inside the cave. The darker it became, the darker it became. The surroundings were covered with moss, and a sensation of moisture was filled with spider webs everywhere, and there were many small insects that could not be named crawling around.
Ning Ze was not afraid, but instead raised the torch to observe the crawlers above his head to see if they knew it. At the same time, he prevented these bugs from suddenly falling on his head.
The ancient ant scorpion took Ning Ze all the way to the depths of the cave and finally stopped.
Ning Ze was frightened by the amazing scene inside with the light of the torch.
It turned out that deep in the cave, the three walls were densely filled with ancient ants and scorpions, and countless huge insect eggs.
Seeing the moment, I subconsciously wanted the ancient ant scorpion to take him away.
I soon discovered something was wrong because the ancient ants and giant insect eggs inside the cave were wrapped in a layer of brown matter, just like a thick wax coated on the outer layer. Even if Ning Ze appeared, there was no reaction.
Pushing the torch over, Ning Ze found that this was the case in every part of the cave, and there were also partially melted "wax" and broken eggs.
The most amazing thing is that there are also corpses of small dinosaurs and other giant insects mixed in.
"Resin? No...amber!!" Ning Ze was stunned.
But this amber is too exaggerated and too big, right? It simply wraps the entire nest of the ancient ant scorpion and becomes an unimaginable biological fossil.
This super giant "amber" has several melting holes, which may be bitten by insects, or other reasons. Seeing the giant insect eggs at the "melting place" breaking their shells, Ning Ze suddenly reacted. The question that he had not understood before had an answer!
Villagers once said that "monsters" appeared hundreds of years ago, and then suddenly appeared until now.
The ancient ant scorpion that you surrendered seems to be not old and has not lived for hundreds of years. It is precisely because of this that you suspect that other ancient ant scorpions exist.
According to the situation I saw, it was indeed not the same as the ancient ant scorpion hundreds of years ago. Not long after the subdued shell was broken, it should have been another or several ancient ant scorpion hundreds of years ago. It was unknown why it disappeared, maybe it was because of old age? After hundreds of years, their bodies might have been eaten by other insects or even by this ancient ant scorpion.
Logically speaking, these ancient ants and eggs have long died in amber trapped for a long time. But if anyone survived, could it be that the ancient ants have unique abilities that can be resurrected even if they are sealed for tens of millions of years?
Otherwise, how do you explain the ancient ant scorpion that appeared hundreds of years ago?
Ning Ze decided to verify his ideas. Anyway, these ancient ants and scorpions were all in amber and did not pose any threat to him.
I found a trapped amber nearby, which looked the most complete and vital ancient ant scorpion. I illuminated the torch with my left hand and took out the sharpest sword from the famous carriage bar with my right hand, and carefully hit the head of the ancient ant scorpion.
The amber is fragile, and the ancient ant scorpion is easily knocked open on its head, allowing it to touch its body.
Ning Ze carefully touched the tip of the sword and found that although the ancient ant scorpion was completely preserved, it was already dead.
Logically speaking, amber on such a large scale is quite precious.
However, Ning Ze needs to confirm the life and death of these ancient ants scorpions, after all, they are extremely dangerous. So carefully pry open one piece after another, each time it is a small part just to confirm whether there are other surviving ancient scorpions.
However, after all, these were just the corpses of ancient ant scorpions, and there was no sign of survival.
Then there is only one possibility. The ancient ants and scorpions that appeared hundreds of years ago and are now subdued by themselves are hatched from insect eggs.
The insect eggs wrapped in amber unexpectedly "melt" out and were still alive and hatched successfully, so that what happened next.
So Ning Ze once again investigated the amber-encapsulated insect eggs in the cave to find out whether there is still life and which type can be hatched.
What disappointed him was that all the insect eggs looked at the past one by one, and all of them were dead eggs and they could not find any living ones.
In other words, the only remaining living eggs hatched hundreds of years ago, and then raged for a while and died of old age. The only surviving one, probably alive until now, melted out of the amber for some reason, and successfully hatched the last one, and was subdued by himself in the battle.
Ning Ze was very disappointed that he could not find more living ancient ant scorpions and giant insect eggs. The idea of forming an ancient ant scorpion was instantly shattered.
However, the ancient ant scorpion and insect eggs in the cave are a huge asset even if they die, and may even become materials for future research on ancient organisms.
Or build a museum and open a tour to let the people see the "monsters" they "submitted", further consolidate their image and their status in the minds of the people.
Speaking of which, it is not without gain.
Furthermore, there are so many folk legends, and there are countless records of various "gods" and "monsters". Iron-backed crocodile dragon, strange-winged moa, and ancient ants and scorpions. Maybe there are more ancient creatures in the form of legends.
This time when returning to Huajun, Liu Yuanxiang was asked to release the imperial list and collect relevant information across the country. Taking advantage of the reason of "subduing demons and demons", he took advantage of the fact that the other three forces were unable to take care of themselves, and found more ancient creatures and captured and tamed them to become their pets.
At that time, take this ancient creature legion and make the enemy forces think that they subdued the gods and monsters and drove them to fight. How dare ordinary people fight against the mythical existence? At that time, they will definitely push them to the enemy headquarters in one breath, and unifying the world will be easy!
Even if there is a shortage of talents, once the sixteen states are unified in a short period of time, it will be enough for the surrendered enemy generals.
Although most people are not satisfied with Liu Yuanxiang's rule of the world as the queen, the situation will force them to surrender. Even if a small number of stubborn elements continue to resist, they will not be able to make a wave.
The first step is to bring back these ancient ants and scorpions and huge insect eggs, build a huge "museum" specifically for displaying this type of "trophy". If there is such an existence in the future, it will be earned together.
The more you see, the more people, the officials, and the enemy forces will be more afraid of their "magic power" and completely defeat them psychologically!
Once everyone in the world feels that they can't stop their "magic power", fewer and fewer resist.
It is necessary to make a lot of publicity, or even order people to deliberately spread news, attract enemy envoys or make detailed works...
Ning Ze thought of the effects of these ancient creatures wrapped in amber in a short time, but it was quite difficult to remove them all.
Although there is a system in your body, these corpses and dead insect eggs cannot be subdued, so they naturally cannot be included in the famous carriage bar.
I can only go back and ask people to transport them one by one.
For safety reasons, Ning Ze once again investigated and confirmed that there were no other living ancient ants scorpions or insect eggs in the cave. Then he controlled his ancient scorpions to come outside and quickly returned to the vicinity of the cordon.
Ning Ze rode the ancient ant scorpion deep into the hinterland and couldn't see clearly when riding on the balloon, and was very anxious and worried. The more we went, the more lush the trees became, covering most areas.
So it was not until Ning Ze left that area and reappeared in sight that his wives and concubines felt relieved and quickly ordered people to lower the hot air balloon.
Seeing Ning Ze return safely, he followed the Imperial Guards, the local officials and the people were finally relieved, but he did not dare to cross the cordon at will, and just waited honestly.
Ning Ze returned to the vicinity of the cordon, and his wife and concubine immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
Others also looked at him nervously, wanting to know what happened to Ning Ze inside and whether there are more such terrifying "monsters".
Ning Ze first reassured them and said directly: "I went to the nest all the way and found countless 'monsters' inside, which was quite amazing! Therefore, I used spells to eradicate them all! There will be no monsters here in the future, so everyone can rest assured!"
Hearing this, the officials and people on the scene who were originally nervous and nervously burst into cheers instantly, and then knelt down together, shouting, "The king's magic power is so powerful!!"
No one doubted Ning Ze's words, questioning the situation where Ning Ze subdued this ancient ant scorpion before, was interpreted by everyone as he was disdainful of using spells in the face of a monster, and directly tamed it with fists and feet. He found that there were more monsters using spells, and he was unharmed when he came back. Isn't this strength still so powerful?
Everyone's admiration for Ning Ze rose sharply, and more than half of the people's loyalty to China instantly reached full-value loyalty. The other part also instantly reached more than ninety or even lower, and was very close to the full-value.
"King, you can travel freely with the nearby mountains, forests, rivers and canyons in the future, so don't worry about new monsters appearing?" the local elder stepped forward and asked.
Ning Ze nodded affirmatively: "The monster has been completely eradicated, and Gu has also patrolled the surrounding area, so there is no problem! However, you still need to be careful of snakes, insects, rats and ants, including some beasts. By the way, Gu has something to ask the elder to help!"
"Just give your order!"
"I want you to summon the people of the township and mobilize any available vehicles in the township to gather here immediately!" Ning Ze said, "In order to prevent the dead demons in the nest from resurrection and harming people, they must be brought back to Hua County and set up a magic circle to seal them! Due to too many corpses, you still need help!"
In order to create an image, he lied directly. With his current prestige and situation, no one would doubt it.
Sure enough, the elders in the village replied respectfully: "The king came here to eliminate demons for the villagers. We should obey the dispatch. Please wait a moment, and I will immediately summon people!"
The elder sent a few young men who were fast to go back to report the news. Sure enough, the people of the township rushed over, such as unicycles, two-wheelers, wooden carriages, horse-drawn carriages, donkeys, and all the vehicles they could use were sent over, and they lined up in a long queue.
During this period, Ning Ze brought the villagers on the scene to the nest and asked them to cooperate with the Imperial Guards to transport the corpses of ancient ants and scorpions and giant insect eggs first.
Seeing the scene inside the cave with your own eyes, everyone was shocked.
The villagers who arrived later quickly joined the team and kept transporting his spoils in shock and admiration for Ning Ze.
Chapter completed!
